The international Railway, between
Halifax and st. John, which will COM
plete through railroad route from
Halifax to San Francisco, is almost fin
ished, and on Thursday of last week the
general baggage agent of the European
and North American railway shipped a
small trunk from Halifax to San Fran
cisco, from which place it is to be re-
turned, thus significantly announcing
the establishment of an all-rail line of
communication between those two
cities. The agents of all the railroads
on the route it was to take were inform
ed OF the fact, and requested to forward
it as rapidly as possible. The trunk
was to be checked with the Inter-
colonial railway check No. 4, 1876. 1t is
so constructed that letters can be put
in, as in letter box, but cannot be
taken out, and among its collections as
it travels will be all the railroad time
tables, passes, names, of the principal
stations. and such other contributions
as the railway officers may see fit to in
sert. On its arrival in San Francisco
it will be placed on exhibition in the
Board of Trade rooms. One section of
it will then be opened, and canteen
containing water taken from the Allan
tic ocean will be taken out. On set
ting out for its return the canteen will
be filed with water from the Pacific
ocean, to be carried to Halifax. The
route Of the trunk will over the Inter-
colonial railway from Halifax to st.
John, the European and Northern
American to Bangor, the Maine Central
to Portland. the Easton to Boston, the
New York, New Haven, and Hartford
to New York the Pennsylvania to

Wayne, and Chicago to Chicago the

Another Whine from Our Late Lamented
Postmaster.
Our late lamented postmaster whines
because he was not chosencity printer, and
he abuse, the City Marshal because that
official don't publish his advertisements in
the Union. He makes a mistake-dont
aim his little "pistil at the right party.
The City Marshal and all other city officers
will publish their advertisements in the
Union when that paper shall be selected
for that purpose by the City Council not
before During Murdock's administration
the Union got some four or five hundred
dollars out Of the city treasury illegally
1t was direct and outrageous swindle and
cheat. That paper published, illegally,
without legal authority, advertisements
which it found in The ARGUS, the paper
selected by the council to publish such adj
vertisements, and succeeded, by Murdocks
help, in getting the bills allowed. 1t can {
play that game on the present Mayor
hence its unhappiness.
The late lamented postmaster, having
got his paper on the books at Washington
as the paper in which to publish L, S.
advertisements, from Rock Island Ar
senal, enjoys the exclusive patronage, for
Rock Island, of that institution He has
never been known to insist that THE
ARGUS or the Moline Recieu should have
a chance to bid on that work He enjoys
the same privileges as to county adver-
Using, from the treasurer, sheriff and
other county officers. He has never been
known 10 insist that THE ARGUS or the
RsUieC should have chance to do any of
that work. But he howls like dog with
a sore head, every day, because he can {
get four or five hundred dollars out of the
city for illegal work, as he did last year.
He is exceedingly anxious to bid for what
he hasn't got and can't get-but strongly
opposed to letting anybody bid on his little
plum Consistent little man Let him
