boygan is to be in the future, as it is
now, the business center of northern
Michigan. That Cheboygan now occu-
pies this position in the minds of the pe0-
pie of the state is owing more to our in
land navigation Improvement than any
other cause.
These advantages are great, but the
influence which the successful terlnina-
ton of this enterprise will have upon
the development Of the interior Of our
county will perhapsin importance out
rank all Others. Already the influence
has been felt. Already the banks of our
inland lakes are commencing to be dotted
with little piers built out for boats to stop
at, and already there have by this means
been attracted to the country tributary
TO the water navigation the most enter
prising citizens which have settled any
where in the northern country. AS we
stated in the outset of this article, the
Importance OF the successful completion
this work to this county cannot be
counted i'm dollars and cents.

OUR INLAND NAVIGATION.

-. We now have the qualification of
stating to the numerous readers of the
IR1SssE, and tie friends of Cheboygan
those who thoroughly believe i'm its
.future-that the last obstacle which has
been standing in the way of the com
plcte success OF this great Improvement,
IS now in fair way to be removed. The
Contract for diverting the course of Stur-
geon river into Burt lake has been let to
Mr.. A. j. West, of 'Capac, Mich, whs
has had a large experience in this kind
OF work. This insures the completion OF
the .'cut off," and consequently the com
plete and permanent removal of the sand
deposit at the mouth of the Sturgeon.
This done, the navigation into Burt lake
will be complete for any craft which can
pass the locks. The importance of this
work, present and future, to this county,
cannot we'll be estimated in dollars and
cents. The business which has been
done over the route this season fully
demonstrates all that the TRIBUNE has
ever claimed for it. Still the business
this year had TO be done under difficult
ties, which this last improvement will
remove. The business this year is but
1.-THE of what it will become in few
years; but even now there are few bust
ness houses in the village but which
have felt the beneficial effects of the bus
mess thus brought to the place. Such
benefits OF this can be seen and appreci-
ated, but they may really be small to
those which may, and: undoubtedly will
come from the increased travel through
here by strangers. ..ta .S..;,o,,u gi.. (
The trouble occurring at Sturgeon
river just at a time when the near sue
cessful completion of the work seemed so
certain, did seem discouraging, and many
who had been friends OF the enterprise,
failed to see much to encourage them.

in one direction for over year, the victory

We can look forward to an early COM
pletion of the railroad to Indian river.
1t may not be this year, but it will be
soon. The officers of the road have
watched with much interest the success
or failure of this enterprise, for upon it
depended much OF their future action.
The permanent success of the enterprise
has also been watched with the same de-
gree of interest by the Grand Rapids
road, for upon it depended their connec-
tions at Crooked lake. All this railroad

contemplated contingent upon the sue

AS these nominations will be made to the
Senate during brief extra session, this

March. will fail unless confirmed by the
Senate. 1t is, therefore, said that an eff

What IgIesias Says.

SAN FRlNCIsc, Jan. 26.-The Mexican
ex President, lglesias, states that Lerdo
carried the presidential election, July
last, in defiance of the Mexican constl-
tuition, which limits incumbents to one
term. He, as Chief Justice, in the alb
sence of a legally elected president, was
entitled under the constitution to succeed
to the presidency. He put himself IN
communication with General Diaz, who
agreed to assist him to his rights. After
Congress, on the 26th of October last, de-
clartd Lerdo elected, Iglesias, finding his
position dangerous, fled in disguisse with
four friends to Guanajuato, which mad
declared in his favor -, 900
November 2lst-Diaz with 1000 or g.
900 volunteers defeated 5000 regular
troops at Tecoae, ending j. rdo's rule.
Victory converted Diaz from partisan to
an aspirant. The army followed him IN
body, leaving Ig esias without any sup
port.
December 2lst-Diaz had lglesias
brought before him for a conference ana
declared his intention of following up his
revolutionary course and reaping the
benefit of his victories. Iglesias and his
marry then struck out for the Pacific coast,
and reached Mansanillo January 18TH
He saws as regards his future Intentions
that he is determined TO make ever en-
deavor to secure his constitutional rights.
The only two Mexican war vessels on
the Pacific we're, when he heard from
them last, pledged to his cause. II still
true they will arrive here within two
weeks and he will return with them at
once. If they fail to come he will, With
in twenty days leave for either Guaya-
mass or Acapulco, probably the latter,
believing that General Alberez Will hoid
that city true to him. Ifhe cannot OBJ
tain a foothold in any ofthe Pacific states
he will then 90 toNew0 Orleans and thance
get into the Northeastern states, which
would favor his cause. He says that
Lerdo. after the battle of Tecoac, found
his cause lost, and with party oftifteen,
including Esco edo, after many dangers,
reached Siguantonizo, in Guerro. Here
the party were taken prisoners by Gen.
Alberez, a partisan of IgIesias, but were
allowed to escape, as nothing could be
gained by holding them.
Escobedo was not shot as reported, but
with Lerdo and the rest of the party on
the 26th of December, embarked on the
German marchant vessel, bound for
Panama. Lerdo declared to General
Alberez that he considered his cause
hopeless and would not return to Mexico
except as a private citizen.

THE EARrHS lNTERNAL HEAT.

The theory that our earth 10 hotin inside
Is being attacked from several quarterss
but II most be conceded that the ground;
of attack are very slender indeed. The
principal ground is that the temperature
Is not always found TO steadily increase
with the depth; thus, for instance, Mohr
comments on the fact that IN the deep
artesian wells of Sperenburg, near Berlin
the increase IN temperature is not con-
slant, but less At greater depths, and he
comes to the conclusion that at the dep h
of one mile the increase ceases, and no
greater heat is found further on. He
mentions also, that in the artesian wells
Of Grenelle, Paris, a similar condition of
affairs is observed; but he forgets that by
the unequal constitution of the earth's
crust the increase in temperature varies
for different locates; sometimes it is 10
Fab, for every 80 feet, sometimes for
every so, 70 or even 100 feet; sometimes
it increases at greater rate when going
down, sometimes at lesser, and the OBJ
servations Of the later fact are altogether
too few to authorize any generalization.
Then he overlooks the fact that the 200
HlLlNb NOlGuuOb hlDlllUulOh ONVl wi
earth's surface communicate to far deeper
regions than only one mile, and bring
from there the speciments OF the mate
rial inside and of its temperature, in the
melted lava they eject. 1t is surprising
indeed that in view of such powerful tes'
timony as the two hundred volcanoes
and their elections, any savant can
attach the least Importance to the
temperature of only two wells, which in
any case, for even the deepest penetrates
only an insignificant portion of the up
per layer of the earth's crust-at most,
only the twenty-thousandth part of the
earth's diameter. The fact is, we know
nothing of the interior of the earth, and
will perhaps never know, because it is
utterly out of direct observation. Our
only knowledge originated from the CO.
ordination of observations and the legl-
innate deductions, and five compare the
strong basis of the theory of hot interi-
or with the feeble basis of the opposite
theory, the conclusions are altogether in
favor of the former.
All that we can allow to the antagonist
of hot interior is that the crust is not
so thin as some philosophers would make
it, and that it varieus enormously y in diff.
ferent localities. 1t is certainly very
thick where mountain masses, such as
the Rocky Mountains or the Himalyas.
have to be supported; and probably
strongly braced below by solid rock,
Perhaps also the hot liquiied interior
matter, such as is often poured out in
enormous amounts by VOLCANOES, is not
present in one single mass, but distribut-
ed in irregular pockets, separated by
equally irregular partitions of solidified
rock of a high fusing point. The latter
hypothesis we think the most probable

length in regard to the recent election in

electors we're legally elected, and had
been deprived oftheir rights by the State
Canvassing Board, which had no judicial
authority and no power to go behind the
returns of the County Canvassers. The
