Tribune would point sOut the difference
we would be glad to see it. In regard to
the propricty we car only say that we
want the road constructed, and that at
once. If some company from Detroit or
elsewhere will come forward and show
conclusively their ability and desire to
construct the road at once, that is all we
desire. We do not want the grant to lay
in the condition it has tor the past six
years, with the settlement of the coun-
try impeded and no railroad.
In our opinion. if there is no company
ready to take hold of this grant and com.
mence the immediate construction of the
road, the sale of the lands upon the con-
ditions set forth, would do more to in
sure its speedy commencement than any
other means which could be adopted.
What is needed, is that capitalists should
become s~arr of the value OF the lands
Rapid sales to actual settlers would soon
convince the most skeptical. The sale at
a fair valuation would not iDjure the val
ne of the grant, for The railroad would
receive the money.
If the parties who think that the sale
of the lands under such conditions would
iniure the value of the grant. would take
hold of the matter and get company to
take immediate steps toward the CON-
struction OF the road, such course may
be prevented

THE SAULT CANAL.

A bill has been intro IN ed in the
IRgislai ur., authrr:zing the Board of
Control TO turn t,e ST. Mary's Falls
Ship Canal over to tue United States
government. This is well. There is n
desire on the part of the engineering
brlroi of the government that the con.
troll of the canal should be transferred
10 the United States. Uuder certain
conditions, we should favor the
proposed transfer. But those con-
ditions should certainly be such as ould
coulter benefits upon the com ncrce
of the state. greater than can
be secured nader the Sale mana cement.
Nearly, If not quite fur-ftlhs of the
expense of maintaining the canal,
received in the way CT tolls, are paid
by Michigan Industries. There
fore. II the lie ,islature looks out for the
interests of it citizens as it should, it
viii See that the st tie will receive bene-
nts from such q transfer, or it should not
be m lie. The canal has never been a
burden upon the state. so its transfer can
rot be urged upon that ground. If.he
Uniiel States can maintain the canal
sleaper thln the state and thus make
the tolls lower than charged by the state.
then the trinslsr IshOul'l certainly be
made, for that would be beneficial to the
business Interests Of The state. But look

Legislature is better deserving of imme-
diate attention at the hands of that body
than that which relates to the construc-
ton of the Mackinaw & Marquette rail-
road. For some reason, although the
grant of land in all of that enterprise
seems to be ample, the work has not yet
b zen begun, and there is no apparent
ground for believing that the parties hav-
ing the contract intend to go on with it.
The interests of the whole state demand
that something be done, and that speedi-
ly. to end the uncertainty and secure the
construction OF the road. Detroit, as the
commercial metropolis OF the state, is pc
culiarly interested; for upon the road in
question depends very largely her re-
covery'o Of the Lake Superior trade. which
ri ,htful.y belongs to h r. and which has
for some years diverted in other direc-

Gov. CROswELL has decided not Il
order a special election in the First dis
Williams. A special election would cost
the district several thousands of dollars;
and they could not elect Representa-
tive. and have him reach Washington anu
get fairly seated much before the 4th OF
March, when the term will expire. The
Governor is evidently of the opinion that
it would not pay the district to 60
through so Euch expense and trouble to
accomplish so little.
