The Truth Precisely.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

.tvm Speech b. THOMAS A. HrSDnicKs havton Indiana
Garf1eld's nomination means the endorse
mont and approval in the most positive and
offensive manner possible OF the Presidential
fraud OF 1867. He had moro to do with 1t than
any other man. and was the only man who oo-
supisd toward It q double relation. After the
election Garfield went to New Orleans By request
Of Gen. Grant. without authority Of law. as a
partisan. He went there to assist his party in
making up case. and after his return to
Warrington. Of all his associates he was the
only man who took his seat upon the Elec-
toral Commission. BY every sentiment OF fair
clay he should have been excluded from
the jury box. By his own sworn state
ment of what he did in New Orleans. Garfield
had charge OF the returns from West Feliciana
Parish. In one OF the inner rooms Of Packard's
Custom House he did his work. examined the
afadavits. and when they were not sufficiently
full. he prepared or had prepared additional
interrogatories to bring them within the rules
adopted By the Returning Board. The tes-
dmony. so received by Garfield. went back to
the Returning Board. and tho result was
that West Feliciana with its Democratic ma
iority was thrown out In Washington. Garfleld's
vote was that Congress could not 90 behind
the returns thus made. As agent for his party
he helped to make returns By manipulating
the evidence: and as juryman for tho nation he
held such evidence as conclusive and binding.

The Remarkable Activity in Railroad
Building.

More miles OF new railroad were laid last
year In the United States than in any year
since 1873, the increase OF mileage being
4.72l miles. Statistics of the new railways
now in process Of construction, or which
have been projected, indicate that the in
crease for the present year will much ex-
ceed that for 1s79 They have been gath
cred by the Rail,oay Age.
That journal gives reports OF 2s7 railway
enterprises undertaken or projected during
the first half OF the year, which show con-
templated mileage OF the enormous total of
over 10000 miles. or this aggregate 1,700
miles OF track have been laid. 5000 miles
are In process OF construction, and projects
for the laying OF 10,S5O miles are announced.
This railway building extends into al
most every State OF the Union, and with few
exceptions the projected roads are entirely
legitimate, and their completion is proba-
BILE. The proposed lines are, as a rule, in
tended to develop new regions which stand
in great need Of transportation facilities.
and many OF them are built by strong COM
panies as feeders to their existing systems
In Canada also there is promise OF activity
In railroad construction. Negotiations have
been nearly completed with an English syn
dicate, with the object of forming a company
with q capital Of $l00,OO0,O0O to construct
the whole of the railway across British
North America to the Pacific. A land grant
Of tO.OOO,OOO acres is offered as a subsidy.
Our Mexican neighbors, too, are likely to
get during the next few years very consid-
cradle additions to their railway system,
though OF the many projects which have
been discussed but few are In condition to
promise substantial results. There are two,
however, which are actually to be prose-
cuted. and upon which work has already
been begun. According to the Financial
Chronicle, both the Sonora Railway and the
Mexican Central Railway arc now to be-
vigorously pushed forward to completion.
They are controlled by capitalists of this
country Interested in the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad, who have organized
the companies under the Massachusetts law
which grants authority to construct roads
In foreign countries.
The Sonora Railway is to run from Quay
mas, on the Gulf OF California, northeast
wardly to the Arizona frontier, there to con-
meet with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
F9 road, which Is being extended to meet it.
The subscribed capital is S., 200, 900. and 1t is
expected that cighty-six miles will be COM
pleted before the first OF March.
The Mexican Central project embraces n
line from the city Of Mexico to FL Paso,
with branches to Laredo in one direction,
and to the western coast in another. AL
ready over million dollars have been ex-
pended on 1t, and 900 Is subscribed

After asking them if they would abide his verdict and not give any more trouble in the matter, which they readily agreed to do, he said he thought it was only fair that the oldest lady should have the biggest basin.

A Prince Earning His Living.


 Some months ago we called attention to the interesting fact that one of the Empress of Austria's brothers, Charles Theodor, Duke of Bavaria, had successfully passed the exannl- natiors qualifying him to practice as an ocuiist and that it was his intention to devote his life to that particular branch of the healing art. in which he had achieved no ordinary proficiency It appears that his Royal Highness' first operation for cataract, per formed by him upon citizen of Dresden shortly after he had obtained his diploma, re- suited in the complete restoration of sight to his patient, and we now learn that he has again operated with entire success upon a sufferer from cataract in the Munich Hospital. The Prince is regular attendant at Prof. Arlt's lectures on diseases of the eye, and has in no respect relaxed the seriousness of his studies since he has become regularly licensed member of the Faculty. Indeed, if reports speak truly, his Royal Highness Dr. Charles Thedor von Wittelsbach is fairly on the way to attain high rank among the more eminent practical oculists of southern Germany. In choosing so noble profession, not as mere pastime. but with the high resolve of allevi- ating human suffering this illustrous gentle man has set splendid example to his fellow Princes, the majority of whom. unfortunate ly. have hitherto displayed a greater preal- lection for the study of science aiming at the destruction rather than at the saving of ilfe'

 An experiment in the making of sugar from beets which will be interesting has been begun in Franklin Massachusetts. The mill has cost about $125, GOO and has been more than 8 year in building.
