ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-The
city is gaily decorated, and the day is
being observed as a general holiday in
honor of the twenty-fith anniversary
of the czar's accession. At ten o'clock
this morning vast crowds assembled
before the Winter palace. Troops
were massed in the central quadrangle
of the palace andthe immediate yicin-
ity. The czar appeared on the balcony
of the palace for twenty minutes, sa-
luting the multitude amid great en-
thusiasm. The members of the council
of the empire, including the chancel-
lor, Prince GortSchakoff, at half-past
eleven went to the Winter palace and
presented a congratulatory address.
DEGREES have been published granting
pardons to prisoners, remitting arrear
taxes owing by the rural population,
and awarding orders of distinction.
The Official Messenger publishes a
letter from the Emperor William,
couutersigned by Bismarck, congratu-
lating the car in terms of warm and
earnest friendship on the twenty-flth
anniversary of his accession, and on
his escape from injury by the recent
explosion in the Winter palace. The
emperor expresses his qualification that
the friendship which united their
fathers has been maintained, and his
confidence that it will continue un-
changed to the end Of his life.

THE work of extending Hunting
don Southern Pacific railroad east
and Tom Scott's Texas and Pacific
westward from Fort Worth is pro-
crossing rapidly. 1t is calculated that
the two roads will meet and he Joined
practically as one at El Paso by the
end Of the year 1e93-less than three
years hence. Gould and Huntingdon
are likely to control the whole line.
If Gould should happen to scoop up
the Memphis and Charleston railroad
one Of these days, it would then be to
his interest to come toward Memphis
from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad by way of Fort Smith.
There are several possibilities in favor
of Memphis yet, but the most that
we can do is to grapple the trade
one or two hundred miles
around US and build up local
railroad and packet lines, which will
bo run in our interest. The big lines
have long since passed out of our con
troll. We have undertaken costly
enterprises beyond our means and
spent millions in experiments. When
times get a little better we should
turn our attention to the construction
of a narrow gauge railroad to
Holly Springs, to the Tennessee
river, by way Of Bolivar and
down the river toward Vicksburg.
Such roads when built cannot be run
in the interest Of distant cities. We
must help ourselves and not wait for
somebody to come along and lift us

TALMAGE said one sensible thing
IN his sermon at the great Brooklyn
tabernacle last Sunday. His subject
was "I'he Golden Calf" and he re-
marked, among other things, that gold
started the American war. There is a
truth in this which the north never
admits nevertheless, it will appear
when impartial history is written.
The private soldiers we're fighting for
the union, some of them to free
the negroes, though very few said SO
when they started out. Even Mr..
Lincoln made no such declaration
until driven to it as war measure.
But those far seeing men of the north,
who furnished the sinews of war as
well as its battle cry, and profted by
it, were fighting for the commercial
asceudency Of the north, and more es-
pecially Of the east. The seat of en-
lpire has been concentrated in a few
cities to whom even the west pays
tribute. The war was not one of sem
timent but Of dollars aud cents. Yes,
Mr.. Talmage, it was gold, the love of
gold, that brought on the war.

The JewcIt "BOOm" Gaining
Force.
HtN5

Rochester Union and Advertiser.l W1Y,
All the indications would seem to
point to an increase of force in the
Jewett boom. " When his name was
first mentioned in connection with the
democratic nomination for the prcsi
dency this question was asked, more
especially by the younger class of men
who have come upon the stage since
he retired from active politics
and confined his attention wholly
to business pursuits, "Who. is Hugh
j. Jewett? very much as the aues-
ton was asked, "Who is James X.
Polk?" when at Baltimore in 1874 the
democratic national convention, after
a stormy session and heated struggle
Of three days, nominated and pitted
him against the idol of the whig
party, Henry Clay-"Harry of the
west" who was at the time the most
prominent public man in the country.
and who had in the sdmo city a
month previously been nominated
by the whig national convention
without the formality of a ballot,
by acclamation and with the most un.
bounded enthusiasm, for the presi-
dency. The event of the election
proved, by l70 electoral votes for Polk
to l05 for Clay, who James X. Polk
was So, now, if the republicans
should have the tcmerity to nominate
atChicago the most prominent of their
aspirants, the "man on horseback, {"
U, s. Grant, and the democrats should
oppose him with Hugh j. Jewett, the
result Of a democratic victory in No
vember would teach inquiring minds
who Mr., JeWettis,
