What Will Become Of the Northern
Pacific

What is to become of the Northern
Pacific railroad? The question inevi-
tably rises upon the suspension of Jay
Cooke e. Co. The construction of the
Northern Pacific may be said to have
been exclusively in the hands of this
firm. The only partners Jay Cooke &
Co. had in the enterprise were
the bondholders. Jay Cooke Il
Co. having failed, there is but one way
inwhich the road can be completed, and
that is for the bondholders to take what
there is of it and assume its construc-
ton to Puget Sound There is nobody
else to do it. The stock of the road is
merely nominal. But 5000, 900 has been
paid In on stock subscriptions, and Jay
Cooke controlled that. The. Govern
ment never advanced any moneyapd
has no interest in the road. There have
been no municipal subsidies, for there
are no municipalities on the line of the
road to subscribe them. There was a
" Credit Mobilier" ring in it, of course,
making profits out of the construction,
but that will go to pot along with Jay
Cooke & Co. Another such ring cannot
be formed, for it would be impossible
for them to dispose of the bonds. The
present bondholders, whoever they are,
own what there is of the Northern Pa
cific, which consists of about 600 miles
of poorly road running
through wilderness, and Immigrant
equal to the proportion of railroad al
ready completed, and not exceeding
5000, 900 of unstable acres located in
bleak and desolate stretch of country.

And see his children eat their fill.

The Milky Way.

Eighteen million suns furnish the
lights for the milky way, which is the
greatest feature of our heavens. How
far separate these suns may be we know
not, but they are SO far distant from us
that light travelling with its incredible
speed, is ages in reaching the earth.
One astronomer said he had gone back
in the milky way so far as would require
$50, 900 years Ter the transmission of
light. Whether the telescope has
allowed the human eye to gauge it more
or less, the fact stands that the bounds
of creation are Unreasonable as their
eternal creator.

PRUDENT business men have Predicted

PRUDENT business men have Predicted
for years that Jay Cooke & Co. would
fail Their enterprises were so daring,
their scrupulousness so doubtful, their
liabilities so large, their exterior SO
glittering, that among the really heavy
men of the country there has long been
belief that sooner or later the firm
would go to everlasting smash. Never
theless, their actual suspension, when
announced, was surprise. They had
stood so long under the Northern Pacific
load that even those who predicted
their failure fancied that they wonld
somehow pull through. When their
collapse was announced, there were
probably thousands of business men in
all parts of the United States and Can
ada who exclaimed simultaneously, 81

The Crops.

The Chicago Tribune, of the ed of
September, publishes reports of the
crops throughout Illinois and contigu-
Gus States. The substance of the state
ment is, that much of the corn had been
harvested before the frost came the
rest was badly damaged. In Southern
Illinois, the corn was considerably in
jured in the lowlands, where it had not
been cut before the frost. In Upper
illinois, the frost did much harm, and
not more than half crop is expected.
In Iowa, reports are conflicting, but the
weight of the evidence is that the corn
has been generally injured. In addi-
ton to the ravages of the frost, the m
huence of q wet and late spring, and
the summer drought have combined to
lessen the yield.

A survey by Chester showed that the

this was accordingly stripped off. Dur

Just at this moment, when everything

however, the attack proved slight, and
