Last fall the D. & St. P. r. r.
company commenced to open . new
route into the city from Pine Hill
Cemetery, whereby great saving Of
distance would be made over the old
one, but through some cause or other
the work was not resumed this spring.
A day or two ago the company was
notified by Supt. Kimball Of the C.
R. l. / P. Road that the grade used
BY the St. Paul company to reach
their own road around the bluffs
would have to be removed before
next fall, and - . result, work will
have to be resumed on the new route
at once and pushed forward as rap.
idly ~ possible. This road will enter
the city from the east end instead Of
from the west IS it does now and will
be independent of the Pacific road.
The Diocesan Church, better known
~ the Bishops Church, was conse-

churches in the city. 1t is built Of
Davenport stone, gothic style, and

The Galena Ill.) Gazette says Of the
Iowa Republican resolutions:
This platform, in the comprehensive
ness Of its patriotism, the boldness OF
it, denunciation Of monopolies, the
clearness with which 1t asserts the
right Of legislatures to control corpora
tons, and the earnestness with which
1t demands the punishment Of all
crime, and the reform Of al abuses
under the government, leaves nothing
to be suggested or added even BY the
most radical reformer, and shows the
folly Of going outside Of the Republi-
can party to seek reform. The Repub-
lican has always been party Of pro-
gress and patriotism, and these resolu-
lions show q determination to make 1t
one OF purity and reform.

The Des Moines Register, comment
Ing upon the personnel Of the State
Convention says:
lows held yesterday another one Of
ito old-fashioned Republican Conven-
lions. One gratifying feature was the
representation Of oil tho Republican
people. The farmers, for the first
time In years, II not In the history Of
the party In this State, had an over
whelming majority among the menu
bers. and guided the policy and shap-
ed the course Of the convention, and
made Its nominations. The men Of
tho prairies were the men Of the day.
What the convention was, they msde
it-and all that II did was ut ones Of
their own suggestion and sanction.
SO It mag be written that the people
have had one convention, and have
themselves put In the field and pres
ented to the State . ticket Of their
own choice, and . platform Of their
own faith In their own language.

The Keokuk Gate City foresees an
irrepressible conflict In the attempt Of
the different States to regulate railway
charges, and calls for national legisla-
ton. It says:
Every man who has ever given any
thought to the question how to solve
the problem Of cheap transportation
from the West to the seaboard knows
we'll that our chief reliance must be
upon Congress. It Is only necessary
to state the proposition that no one
State can regulate and control . line
Of railway running through half .
dozen States, to settle that question.
The States may do something toward
solving tho problem by regulating
such lines Is operate only within the
territory Of . single State, but the con-
troll Of lines running through two or
more States must be left to Congress
under that clause OF the Constitution
which empowers that body ITO regu.
late commerce with foreign nations
and among the several Ndtes."

Most of the noted capitalists of New York
city, though not men of deep piety, have an
external connection with some church.
Vanderbilt, though not professor of
religion, is patron of Deems, for whom he
has bought church The opulent Col
gates, of soap boiling fame, are Baptists,
and have recently built a church of that
persuasion at Yonkers. The great house of
Macy is Submitted with the Society Of Friends,
and so are the Willetts Belmont and the
Hendricks are Jews. Stewart and the
Astors are Episcopalians. and so are the
Stuyyesants. The Harpers and Daniel
Drew are Methodists. The Reformed Dutch
Church numbers the Suydams, Schrefielins,
Sturges and Roosevelts, while the Presby-
terian church is patronized by Z. D. Morgan,
William Z. Dodge, James Lenox and the
Stuarts of sugar refining distinction. With
this immense wealth in the church more
good ought to be done, but it is to be
feared that the rich do little in comparison
with their means, and the largest amount of
efficient benevolence is found among the
medium class,

The preparations for the forthcoming en-
campment of the veteran soldiers of Yer
mont at Rutland, are fast being completed,
and the indications are that a most pleasant
time wilt be afforded all who attend.
Among the distinguished officers who will
be present, is Major-Gen. John C. Robin
son, Lieut.-Gov. of New York. He will be
remembered as commander of the third
division, first corps, on the second day at
Gettysburg, the Second Vermont Brigade
being in his command.
Brig Gen. B. 5, Roberts, Z. S. A., who
Is stopping at Alburgh Springs, will also
be present at the reunion.
Major j H. Hazelton of West Rutland,
is organizing company of cavalry for the
occasion, which will not fail to make fine
appearance and be distinguished acquisi-
ton to the force.
Rutland county promises to have ten or
twelve companies organized for the encamp-
ment.
General Edward Il. Ripley of Rutland.
has been appointed to the command of the
Third Brigade, Vermont Reunion Forces,
and will announce his staff and issue orders
for the efficient organization Of his brigade
in a short time.
Col. l. G. Kingsley, Q. NJ. General of the
forces, has made ample provisions for the
comfort and accommodation of the soldiers
who may attend the Reunion. Tents, straw
and wood will be furnished, also cooking
stoves as far as possible. Companies and
detachments may bring their own mess, if
they desire to, otherwise the Quarter Master
viii furnish all supplies needed, including
euchre decks.
Casey's Tactics Will be used as rules Of
order in place of Cushing's Manual.
We are glad to learn from the Globe that
Gen. Charles Devens, Jr, of Massachusetts,
one Of the ablest and most eloquent speakers
in the country, and the Grand Commander
of the G. A. r. of the United States, will be
present and speak at the Reunion. He
will be the guest Of Gen. II. H. Baxter dur
ing his stay in Rutland, and it Is needless
to add that his presence will be one Of the
great features Of the gathering.
Bridgewater has mustered company of
forty men, while Chittenden turns ont an
enlisted roll of thirty veterans ready for
Rutland on the 9th Of August.

We are glad to see that that the anti.
Butler Republicans Of Massachusetts. who
form, we doubt not. three-fourths Of tho
party in that State, do not intend that the
State convention shall be carried for Gen
eral Ben, in default of effor. and organiza-
ton on their part. A gathering of about
hundred Of the most prominent Of the
Republicans in the State was held in Boston
on Friday, 10 consider what measures were
necessary 10 prevent the snatching Of the
governorship as was attempte two years
ago. Hon. E. r. Hoar called the meeting to
order, the Hon. Il. Il. Coolidge presided.
and a committee was chosen 10 take mea-
sures to secures full and fair representation
of Republicans at the delegate caucuses
Speeches were made by Judge Hoar. Con-
gressmen Dawes, Mr.. Coolidge. the Hon.

Of whom were agreed that with fair and

that the question viii be between Governor
Nashburn and Gen. Butler. and we cannot
permit ourselves to doubt tina. Gov. Wash
burn will be re-nomnated.

them, in sympathy and practice. He is
also hoping, with-strange to say-some
prospect Of success, for the support Of the
temperance men, on the strength of his de-
clarations that he will administer the pro-
hoitory law to the letter, if he Is made
Governor. The democrats look On compla-
Gently, and give their best wishes to Gen.
Butler IN his task Of dividing the Republican
party. But they are destined. we think. 70
be disappointed. Altogether, the canvass |
