The santa Fe Extension.

The Chicago Railway Review is
very emphatic in its prophecy con-
corning the future of the Atchlson,
Topeka s. Santa Fee road. 1t says {:
The Atchison, Topeka s. Santa
Fe road under the management of
Mr.. VIM. B. Strong, is developing
into q road of national importance.
The company last week commenced
to tunnel Ration Pass, and we uuder-
stand it is their intention to push
their road through Immediately to a
junction with the Southern Pacific
Railroad now past Fort Yuma, on
its way through Southern Arizona
to Tucson. This connection being
made, the eastern end of the road
will be extended from Wichita,
Kansas, to Memphis, Tennessee,
forming a southern route to CalifOr-
MIA full three hundred miles shorter
than Col. Tom Scott's proposed line.
Boston capitalists have promised
sufficient funds to complete the road
to Santa Fe this year. From Santa
Fe they will move down the Rio
Grande river and connect with the
Southern Pacific in Arizona. The
whole work can be accomplished in
side of two years. The proposed
line up the Arkansas toward Cali
fornia Gulch and the San Juan
country has been abandoned, the
railroad company intending to de-
vote all of their resources and ener-
gies to the construction of their
great continental line.

specie Payment.

Secretary Sherman states to the
House finance committee that the
total available gold and silver coin
in the Treasury at present, being
the amount above all demands, is
81, 775, $50. The gold and silver
coin held by the banks amounts to
$34,55I, 600, being total of $685.
326, 500. There are nine months
more to Jan. Ist, 1879, the day upon
which the resumption of specie pay
ment is TO go into effect, and the
Secretary estimates that the govern
ment and the banks together can ac-
cumulate specie during that time at
the rate of S1O,OOO,OOO per month,
or 500, 0OO, 600 in all. This, added to
the $IO6,OO0,0O0 on hand, would
make say $20O,0O0OOO specie held
by the government and the banks
on the day of resumption, to re-
deem the $643. 100000 greenbacks
and national bank notes then out
standing, with 8 very small amount
of specie, SO small as to be of no
practical consequence, in the peck
cts of the people. The success Of
the resumption law would depend
on whether or not there was gen.
eral call for tho specie, and this
would depend on q hundred Yari'
Gus contingencies, which might oil
might not happen. AT any rate, il
is evident that if silver had MOI
been called into requisition to aid
resumption, that programme would
be quite impracticable. With sil
yer present and prospective, IL may
possibly succeed.

The war news is meagre but
threatening. England continues her
Preparations for war as If that event
was fully resolved upon, and unless
Russia agrees to her demand to sub
init all the points of the present
treaty between Russia and Turkey
to the proposed European Congress,
England will refuse to send a repre-
sentative to Il. 1t seems now as
though there may be no Congress
At AL. The Turkish troops are,
seemingly by Russian permission,
eoncsntrating st Constantinople,
10000 being already in one camp.
The Russian armies are so disposed,
however, as TO be sble to speedily
occupy Constantinopie and the line
Of the Bosphorus whenever orders
6se given. The best informed OBJ
servers Of European affairs do not
4t6tnre 20 predict whether war win
tsnli between England and Rus
~ 81 not, and the nncertninty win
.onI'1pe for SOME time 70 come.

The present legislation in the
House, rs well as in the Senate, al
Washington. indicates that with the
p Assage of that gigantic silver bill,
the silver and greenback strength OF
those bodies mostly exhausted itself,
and that unless the people take the
matter In hand at next falls cleo
don, the gold influence will contin-
ne TO practically control Congress
for an indefinite time. And whether
or not the people, will make much
OF an Improvement on the present
congress, Is q matter we hardly care
20 do any guessing upon.

You happen to depend wholly on that crop,

The most independent farmer is the

can raise our pork at So per hundred, can
we afford to buy it at eight cents crpound?
