PRoposED NARROW GuAaE. st.
Louis Board of Trade is urging the
project of the construction OF mar
row guage railway from st. Louis to
Colorado, though Missouri and Kan
sas. The construction of this pro-
posed railway through Kansas to
Trinidad, in Colorado, will give St.
Louis direct railroad connection with
the entire system of narrow guage
railways in southern Colorado, and
open up to their smelling interests
the whole range of valuable mining
country of Colorado, Utah and Ari-
zona. This road is but one item of
grand onslaught which St. Louis
proposes to make upon outlying re-
gions. The st. Louis Journal of
Commerce says: g Tho - jetAicrs OF
sscusn pass have assured ample water
for all vessels to enter the Mississip-
pi river and made a direct trade be-
tween St., Louis and all European
ports practicable, and it becomes the
duty of st. Louis to seize upon this
advantage and develop herself COM
merce which shall absolve her from
all dependence on the Eastern sea-
board. Her efforts in this direction
will be greatly assisted by the build
ing of the proposed narrow guage
railway, penetrating, rs it eventully
will, by means Of the numerous
branches proposed to be connected
with its main line, the most fertile
regions of Missouri, Kansas, Nebras-
ka and Colora1O

A New RULE CONCERNING PARDoNs.
Few people have the hard-hearted-
ness to withhold their signatures
from u petition for a pardon, partic-
ularly when it is presented by in
auential persons, who at the same
time make plausible excuses for some
unfortunate condemned man. They
often sign against their convictions
Of right, but rs there has been nc
publicity given to their names, they
avoid public responsibility for the
act. Governor Cullum, of Illinois
we'll aware of the dodge" practiced
in many cases, is determined not to
be misled. He has, therefore, adopt
ed the rule of publishing the names
of all signers to these petitions be-
fore exercising clemency, so thai
those who might be inclined after.
wards to assert that they signed
from q misapprehension OF the facts
will have opportunity to make expla.
nations. 1t is observed that since
this rule went into operation, the ap'
plcations for pardon are not near sc
numerous as formerly, nor the is'
OF signatures attached 40 lengthy b,
ore-half.

tho bill, four Of tho nyo negative Illinois

they dared not have taken tho responsibility
Of defeating it. One Of tho Illinois members
would have voted against it, no matter what
the consequences might be, because he
desired commotion, tho Inauguration Of both

;, We print this morning M interesting arti-
Gle from tho London 7ip'es. on the subject
Of DEi.iah commerce, comparing tho imports
md exports of 1876 with those Of 1876 md
previous years, md showing that while the
Imports remain very nearly the same the
exports have fallen Of noarly 5000, ,O00, 900.
tt is found that in respect Of decreased pat
>:napp the United States has been Englnnd's
worst customer, our country having bought

certain Republican papers begau to shout,
"Never surrender" " Fight rather thnn arbi-

ment." And yet almost every ono OF those
tRw bsllicose sheets really wanted the Plan
t pass, and were fearful 1t might not be

The resignation Of GonrscnAKorP, Russian

'cah1a. Tbs Herald dispatch hes 1t that this
sment Is the result Of disagreement
the Czar on tho question Of war with

policy, while the Czar hesitated to
energetic measures without powerful
fce. Another explanation Is that GoIT-
koE7's health la such Is to compel

II will bo seen from tho figures that tho
