TORONTO, April 4.-The Manitoba
sections of the Canada Pacific Rail-
way are being rapidly constructed.
Several thousand workmen are en-
gagged at two dollars day and more
are needed.
Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1878-04-10

GEN. GRANT writes . letter from the
old world which We publish else
where. He bitterly0 opposes the ail-
yer bill. We think II he had been in
this country for some months past he
would know more. Gen. Grant 10 not
remarkable for speaking unsdvisedly
but II would have been much better
Tor him in this instance, and far more
creditable, II he bad waited till he
he knew WHIST he was talking about.
Ws auppose his letter refers to the
House bill, but even then he declares
men are repudiationiats who will
compare certainly very fAvorably
with him in morals, and ability or
statesmanship. There are many of
these so.called repudiationists, ,at least,
who, had they been president Of the
United States, would not have been
why more silver did not
appear In circulation long after they
had signed bill dsmonstizing 1t.
The above we have written upon
the supposition that the letter 10 gen.
uine. We are half inclined to think
Il may turn outua forgery. However
It will do " have our ssy shout il
whether Il BE- genuine or mot.

MANY soft money men.--und der NJ

Z Many soft money men-under what
name we know not-have been form
ing clubs which have more or less se-
crecy about them. To what extent
these organisations have secret
pledges we know not, but we are in
clined to think there is Considerable
secrecy. d. This is . revival Of the cid
political mode of know-nothingism
and il oil wrong. Grangerism, in so
far % its secret organization was used
to further political ends, was radical
ly wrong. There has never been any
party that had more than an ephem-
eral life, which relied upon secret Or
ganizAtiOns. . The politics Of the
country should never be run under
oAths or obligations taken in secrecy.
Such organizations are totally antag-
onistic TO- free governments and no
matter what the cause is they sdvo-
cate, such manner of advocating it
cannot be justified. A good cause
needs mot to depend upon secret obli-
CATIONS TO insure its success. Truth,
right, seeks the most open day pub
licity for its advocacy, and it -is
enough to condemn, % totally un-
worthy, any political organization
that binds its members by secret OBJ
liaations. t38n

either branch of Congress"

So the Fourth ward Of this city has
to hold an extra election this spring
because a democratic councilman
would not resign, nor would the DEM
ocratic members of the council per-
nit his scat to be declared vacant go
that the place could be filed at the
regular spring election. That coun-
Gilman had not been present at ses-
sion Of the council but twice for five
months before the. spring election
and had removed with his family,
seventy-fve- miles away, to live at
least for the spring and summer, if
not longer, three weeks before the
last regular election in this city.
Now it is . very pertinent question
to ask, who ought to pay the expense
Of this extra election? The people
of Ottumwa will be obliged to pay it
of course, but it Is very, likely they
will remember the men who willfully
and wrongfully made such expense

When Thomas drove up to house
on Elizabeth street, yesterday, to de-
liver the usual quart of mixture, the
gentleman of the house kindly in
quired:
"Thomas, how many quarts of milk
do you deliver ?"
"Ninety-one, sir.'
"And how many cows have you 2"
"Nine, SIR" s-.
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring, close of the
eastern war, and the state of the roads
and then asked:
"Say, Thomas. how much milk per
day do your cows average?'
"Seven quarts, SIR"
"Ah-um," said the gentleman as he
moved of. Thomas looked after him,
scratched his head, and all at once
grew pale as he pulled out short
pencil and began to figure on the
wagon cover. faH r
"Nine cows is nine, and set seven
quarts down under the COW and null
tiply. That's sixty-three quarts of
milk. l told him l sold ninety-one
quarts per day. Sixty-three from
ninety-one leaves twenty-eight, and
none to carry. Now, where do get
the rest of the milk9 I'll be hanged
If hav'nt given myself away to one
of my best customers, by leaving a
burned big cavity in these tiggers to
be filled with water."--Detroa Free
