ALONG THE NORTHERN PACIFIC

4AA-S@sN - &4A~ AZ " - 1AhAN 4 AO4A IN
We this week took trip over
tho Northern Pacific Railroad as
far west as Red River, and picked
up few items that may be Of iE-
terest.
There is but little talk or thought
of grasshoppers.
Prairie fires light up the horizon
at night in all directions.
Long lines Of fiat cars loaded with
lumber 60 westward every day.
New ties are being distributed
aud placed all along the line.
The wheat is nearly all in the
ground A greater acreage than
ever before has been sown.
At the Junction the people are
expecting that the K..ife Falls Rail
road will be built this year. A
company Of Wisconsin lumbermen
have about perfected their plans for
erecting a large saw mill at Knife
Falls. We will next week give
some particulars in regard to this
enterprise.
The big wheat farms Of Messrs.
Dalrymple, CaSs, Garfield, Grandin,
Mosher, Dunlop and others are in
full blast men, teams and machin-
cry move with army-Hke discipline
in the work Of putting in the seed.
Fargo appears to be growing
faster than any other town on the
line. About twenty new buildings
are in course of erection. The
sounds of the hammer and saw are
heard on every side. A few very
inferior buildings have been put mp
on the block burned over last fall
Messrs. IIokanson d Anderson, of
Dlluth, are erecting quite a block
of two stores on the best corner in
the town.
The passenger and freight busi-
ness OF the N p. Road is simply
immense. On Monday last three
cars on the westward bound train
were unable 10 seat the passengers,
and the train included sixteen
loaded freight cars--flled with
wagons, tools, machinery and goods.
The buk Of the passengers were
French Canadians from Massa-
chuSelts and the Eastern States, on
their way to join 4 colony of their
people settled in Manitoba, near
the buuudry line, just west of Penn
bina. -Four hundred of these peo-
PIE, filing eight passenger cars,
passed westward over the line on
last Friday, for the same destina-
ton; and one thousand more viii
come during the season. They all
belong to the better class of French
Canadians, and appeared to be q
very intelligent, orderly, well dis
posed people. No one who es
intoxicating liquors is permitted to
join the colony, and each mem Der
must possess at least $500 in cash
before joining. They are all practi-
cal farmers, and expect to settle on
land at once.
The train on Monday contained a
party of fourteen young men direct
from Name, bound for Montana, to
seek their fortunes in mining and
sheep raising. Also a large num-
Der going 10 the Black Hills. The
travel over the Northern Pacific
road this spring seems to be fully as
great as that often seen over the
Union Pacific, or over the roads in
the Southwest leading to Texas.

HAYEs's COMPROMISE TEMPERANCE PARTY

From The LiUing Issue, prohibition organ.
But what is to be Mr.. Hayes's policy on
the liquor question, now that his southern
policy may be considered settled? We
think we have the key to it in that White
House dinner and the presidential apollo
gies that have followed it, 1t will be one
of attempted compromise, adopted 10 the
expectation of winning the favor of both
temperance and anti-temperance people
We do not think Mr.. Hayes is capable Of
pursuing any other policy on any question
We knew him long before he was thought
Of in connection with the presidency, and
he always was trimmer He was never
nominated for any important office except
as a compromise, having SO skilfully acted
the part of the mutual friend when counter
interests were at war as to be always avail
able. As middle man he has been an
unparalleled success. His course in ofict
confirms this view of his charaeter-a view
| expressed by us in these columns before he
was mace president. He is to-day neither
Democrat nor Republican. He is tly-
ing to be both. He is neither for tbs
north nor for the south. He is on the
fence that separates them. He is neither
a saint nor sinner. He goes to church
in the morning, and has Bob Ingersoll, the
unbeliever, at his table in the evening.

AT RACINE, WIS, IN OPPOSITION TO
HAYES POLICY OF CANCELLATION.

HAYES POLICY OF CANCELLATION,
Special Telegram to the Chicago Times.
RACINE, Wis, May 7.-Tne Republi-
can opposition to Hayes and his policy 10
Wisconsin is to have bold and aggres-
sive newspaper organ, Col. ". l.. Utley,
of this city, whose recent pronunciamento
against President Hayes and his southern
policy attracted such very general atten-
ton, is negotiating for type and presses.
and will soon commence the publication OF
a newspaper in this city, which will be
devoted to the advocacy of radical Repub-
iean doctrines, and will especially OPPOSE
the measures adopted by the president
in regard to the south. Doubtless at
least one third if not larger proportion
of the Republicans of Wisconsin are
opposed to Hayes's policy, though they are
reticent and have heretofore said but
little. A leader and a newspaper organ
will, however, call them out, and the
prospects are good for an exceedingly
animated time within the ranks of the
Republican party in Wisconsin. Among
the prominent opponents of the president S
policy is Hon. A. j. ('Jack,' y Turner.
editor of The Portage Register. and ,chiei
clerk of the state senate for the last two
terms The party leaders, however,
generally are holding their opinions in a
state of suspense. and will await develop
ments.

letter on HAYES has fallen like bombshell
in the Republican camp. The State Jour
nal admits that Ben is pluckly old fellow,
and was useful during the late rebellion 10
fire the union heart and rally the nation to
arms: but that pluck is played out and
that no more Ben Wades are needed 10
these times of peace
But it is evident that old Ben has struck
the keynote of the Republican hearts.
Wade says that Hayes is trying to kill the
Republican party. A prominent Republ
can said in nv hearing to-day that it would
take more than one such man as Hayes to
Kill the Republican party. tits the opinion
of many Repub' leans about the capital
that before the close of the next regular
session of congress Hayes will not have a
majority in either branch OF the two hou-
ses, and that his following will be composed
wholly of oficeholders and camp followers.
