THE CANADA PACIFIC RAILROAD.

About the time of the Jay Cooke Il
Co. failure, dragging along with it the
great Northern Pacific Railroad enter
prise, of which that firm were the hackers,
a vast deal of abuse was heaped upon
the scheme, and those engaged in fur
thering it, by the press of the United
States, the whole thing being character
lied as visionary and Utopian, if not
even downright swindle. The "Banana
Zone" was for months side-splitting
joke that certain newspapers useu to roll
fgarativcly under their tongues when
ever it became necessary to refer to the
embarrassed railroad, then brought to
dead halt Luckily the lands along the
line of this road, for time ignorantly
ch racterized as worthless for farming
purposes, have been found some Of the
finest wheat lands in the Northwest, and
a thrifty population is settling there as
the road, now again progressing slowly,
goes on.
We learn, however, by the London
Times that the Canada Pacific Railway,
line chartered to traverse the Cont
nent much farther north than our own
Northern Pacific, has recently effected
loan from London capitalists which will
insure the immediate construction of
that line. From Winnipeg, the capital of
Manitoba, the road for three hundred
miles is under contract The long stretch
from the head of Lake Superior to Sell
kirk, on the Red River, is divided into
three sections; two of them, the easterly
and westerly, are finished, while the in
tervening one is under contract. Four
hundred miles west of Winnipeg the
land is described as rolling prairie SINH
lar to some of our Western States,
rolling in gentle undulations like
the sea- The highest range Of mountains

The bovines that browse upon our
Western prairies, altogether innocent of
the plague which secretly devours them,
according to the British Government,
will be grieved to learn Officially" that
they are really very sick. The fact is,
this cry of cattle disease has for some
time been used by the British and Cana
dian Governments as subterfuge to
protect their own stock-raisers from
American competition. Partly in re-
taliation for this, no doubt, the Cabinet
at Washington last week determined to
prohibit the importation of Canadian
cattle, on the grounds that pleuro-
pneumonia exists there to an alarming
extent Cattle dealers everywhere scout
at this alarm, which prevails only among
the officials of the different Govern
ments, and look upon the whole affair as
a farce.

VERY few men played a more promi-
nent part in the history of England than
Oliver Cromwell, who, during the turbu-
lent times when he capcred about upon
the stage of life, had an army of friends
as well as hosts of bitter foes. When
the great Protector died his body was
embalmed and buried, but at the restora-
ton it was cxhumed and decapitated.
The head was stuck up over Westminster
Hall, where it remained through fair
weather and foul, for quarter of CEN
tury. 1t was finally blown down, and
being picked up by passer-by was sold
to surgeon named Wilkinson, in whose
family it still remains, withered and
weather worn.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The English Papers Of This Morning,


The Enquirer SAYS of the elections to-
morrow: II Butler should be elected in
Massachusetts and Robinson beaten in New
York, there would he tie between the
two great parties in the plitical successes
of this year. Thus far the Republicans
have held the States they carried three
years ago-no more. The loss of Massa-
chusetts by the Republicans would be as
great calamity to them as would the loss
of New York to the Democrats Among
the political curiosities of the year the
| election of Butler in Massachusetts and of
Cornell in New York may appear. 1t is
possible that through the boiling Of John
Kelly and his Tammany following, bv
the caprice of the Irish vote and the
Catholic devotion to Kelly, Governor Rob
inson may be defeated in New York. The
Tammany bolt is formidable and danger

ant Senator, the politician who was man of
affairs before he became politician. and
who was q man of affairs ever after he be-

who went West and took possession of Mich
igan, and, three years ago, of the country
died on Saturday at Chicago, at nearly
threescore and six years of age. He was
New Hampshire boy. He had such an
education as schools and academies give,
and he had no taste for more. He was not
man of letters, and had not the capacity
to be; for the possibility of culture must
exist IN the blood. At twenty he
took with him to Detroit then

thrift, the New England narrow
ness--for New England is school of bot
breadth and bigotry-the Yankee tenacity,
which is largely Scotch, and a brave spirit.
whose youthfulness never departed, till it
departed on Saturday morning with his
spirit. He was rough, forcible, resolute.
Eighteen years after the boy Chandler ap-
peared in Detroit, Yankee stranger, he
was Mayor of the city, and in 1852, when
but thirty-nine years of age, this Young
merchant was the Wing nominee for the
Governorship of Michigan. Five years
later, at forty-four, he was made United

THE Penny Press of Cleveland had a
hard fight in the recent libel suit, but
was thoroughly vindicated. The de-
cision should be lesson to people who
hope to make a raise by means of a
newspaper libel suit. The Penny Press
reporter committed an error in identify
ing the person he found in an unsavory
fix. He spoke of him as the son of one
person, whereas he was an entirely diff
ferent man. The Chisholms, who felt
libeled, were among the most wealthy
people in Cleveland, and they spared no
money in the fight on the Penny Press.
TO their shame be it said, nearly all the
Cleveland papers, out of regard for the
wealth, standing and influence of the
Chisholms sided against the Penny Press.
The Courts, however, saw no malice ex-
cept on the side of the Chisholms 1t
was shown that the information, though
erroneous, came through the usual
news channels, and that the reporter
used extra diligence in getting at
the facts and the paper was ready to cor
rect the statement as soon as the error
was discovered. Not only is the paper
fully vindicated but an energetic prose-
cution is now to be commenced against
the Chisholms for their outrageous treat
ment of the reporter. A newspaper is
to the people of Cleveland a new revela-
ton which they can not understand.

"The man Hickey" as the Chicago
Inter-Ocean designates the surviving
party to the late tragedy at the Burnet
House in this city, does not seem to have
either feelings of common humanity, or
sense enough to recognize the position he
occupies in the judgment of the public.
His phenomenal thickness of skull that
saved his life will be regretted if Ee is
guilty of the heartlessness with which he
stands charged by the Inter Ocean, in dis
cussing the events that linked his name
with the dead girl, Florence Mcdonald.
1t is said that he has let no opportunity
pass for casting opprobrium upon the
memory Of the unfortunate girl, that he
has exhibited a compaisant satisfaction
at the result, heightened probably with
the idea that he is the hero of the hour,
by the congratulations of his friends over
his narrow escape from death.
The 10. says that Hickey els without

served the fate Miss Mcdonald designed
