Ne Election Needed.

New York, I8.-The Herald, to-day,
has the following suggestion: How would
it do to let everything stand and have no
election? fhe country was never so
prosperou', say our republican friends.
yet it is really without q government.
The President is away in Oregon, drink
ing tea; General Sherman is in attend
ance, and the army il without q head;
Secretary Sherman is in the west, and
the treasury runs itself; Evsrls il review
ing the boys 10 blue parAdes, and the
world is at peace; We have no Senate, no
House, no Supreme Court. The only
federal officer who seems to be alive is
Supervisor Davenport, and we might,
under pressure, spare him. Yet how
prosperous we are all the same. II we
can get along so well without a govern
ment, why not go step further and have
no election? 1t would save money and
trouble and temper aud time.

Columbus, 1.-THE democratic state
committee issu6s an address declaring
that while the result Of the election is .
Disappointment il may have the effect of
stimulating the democratic party to
activity; also declaring that the whole
republican party was concentrated
against the democracy in Ohio and In
diana, with all its official and monetary
power, and this. with GepesterS, super
visous and i'm ported blzcks, swelled the
vote to unprecedented numbers, Tar be-
yond the census. They coerced en-
ployees, raised false cries of rebel claims,
ETC., used money shsmefully, and yet
only gained slightly over 1879. The
democracy gave $50 900 votes, the largest
they ever polled in the state, amounting
almost to victory. Conservative voters
should now stand frn, and they also
appeal TO soldiers, workmen and all
others not to BE- ledI blindfold into the
republican trap. They express fond
hopes that California, Nevada, Colorado
and Oregon will give democratic ma
iorites. and urge every democrat to do
his whole duty.

The Canada Pacific aEd Its
EXpecaatiOms.

New York, 16.-The Tribune reports
Sir Alexander Gslt, Canadian minister
TO London, saying. yesterday. regarding
the Canada Pacific Rsilrosd: When the
road is finished, the Province Of British
Columbia will become part of Canada,
bat this talk Of our losing British Co.
lunbla, and other provinces besides il
case the road is not finished, is absurd.
Two bundled and sixty-fye miles Of road
have been completed, and it is expected
trains will be running over 200 mics at
the end of the year Work will be pushed
vigorously throughout the winter, and
this brings up the question of climate.
They say the road will be blocked by
snow and the country rendered uninhsb-
ltaUle for four months in the year. Now
the valleys of TA.katchewan and Alha-
basca are OF wonderful fertility. The
road runs on comparatively low level.
1t has been surveyed throughout, aud
from all we can learn the climate will be
no serious obstacle. The snowfall Is
about the same as in other parts of Can
ada. The rainfall seems good, and the
climate will certainly be as good, il not
better, than that along the line of the
Northern Pacific. In fact, instead Of
being blocked by snow, the road will
suffer less than the Northern, or even the
U MON Pacific. because the Canadian Pa
citic crosses the Rocky Mountains at q
very low psss-the Tste jaime Pass,
which is only $500 feet high. rWe do not
expect any serious inconvenience from
snow or cold. The eastern terminus Of
the road is Lake Nippsing, Just north
west of Ottawa, there it connects with
other Canadian railroads, and the west
ern terminus viii be Buzzard's Inlet, at
the mouth of Freer River. For some
800 or 600 miles on the western part Of
the road it will run through a compare
lively unsettled, rather mountainous and
in place. barren country. 1t has been
suggested that it would be more profit
able for the road 70 stop on the eastern
side of the Rocky Mountains. In that
case it would be onIy local and not q
through line. 1t is with the hope and
expectation of a receiving through busi-
ness and outbiddiuR the more southerly
seaports on the western coast that she line
has been built. We expect to gain for it
the larger part of the great carrying
trade across the Pacific, for the reason
that our western terminus will be 1000
miles further west than San Francisco.

Fatal Experiment.

Chicago, 16.-The cause Of the explss-
ion Of the cooker in Powell's distillery,
yesterday, was an experiment which was
being tried to hasten the process of distil-
lation. Corn was put in unbroken and
the kernels having filed up the tube
steam pressure was brought to bear on it
to force the corn out. This arrangement
had worked we'll several times before, but
was disastrous yesterday. There were
several miraculous and hair-breadth es-
capes. The boiler was blown TO .
hundred pieces, and jagged pieces carried
the air hundreds of feet, one
piece going three blocks. Four bodies
were recovered last night, and four to-
day, among the latter that of the little
daughter of Mrs. Horsk, who was buried
in the ruins. The injured are suffering
terribly from scalds AID bruises, but will
probably all recover.
