Tho rapid construction OF a new trunk line rail
road to the West, following closely the course of
the New-lork Central and Lake Shore roads from
this city to Chicago, brings up the question of the
probable Increase Of freight traffic in the near
future. 1t is undoubtedly true that the old roads
are overwhelmed with business, and that a new
line viii find plenty to do without diminishing in
the least the traffic of its rivals. The four main
lines from tins city to the West were completed
before the war. They have greatly increased their
Western feeders in recent years by consultations
leases, purchases and the binding of new lines but
when the freight they collect by their numerous
Western arms reaches their main stems it finds
better equipped lines but more lines to move il
eastward than eXistc ed twenty years ago. In those
twenty years however, over five millions of people
have been added TO the region west of Ohio
and the increase IN the production of grain. pork
and other articles which seek the seahoarl markets
has been cnormoas. More trunk lines for the trans
portatlon OF these products viii soon be a nccessity

The appointment Of competent and widely
known IA gentleman as the Rev. Henry Highland
Garnet to be Minister to Liberia arouses fresh
interest in the little black Republic planted and
nursed by the American Colonization Society No
one now chershes the dream of deporting in a BODY
the cOlored population of this country to the coast
of Africa but the desrablity of encouraging the
growth of Liberia and making of it base
for Efforts to open the interior as far back as the
Valley of the Niger TO commerce and civilization
is generally recognized. A little persistent
effort on the part Of American merchants and per-
haps little judicious aid from our Government to
the LibeIian authorities, would push the frontier
OF civilization steadily eastward year by year. and
develop an important trade for our cotton goods

1actures In exchange for these articles, Liberia
could send us sugar coffee, indigo and raw cotton
The French Government is awake 10 the value of
the commerce of the Soudan and is building a rail
designed eventually to reach Iimbuctoo. Mr.
Fuller, the Mayor of Monrovia, who is now IN this
city, in recent interview described the climate of
Liberia IN much more favorable terms than we havo
been accustomed to hear. The tenperatule he
SAID, ranges from 500 To so the year round and

DaVitt ON Bayootting.

Michael Davitt, the well known
Irish agitater, who is regarded by
some as anxious te supercede Par
nell in the leadership of the land
league movement, has been max
ing a noteworthy speech in Dub
lin. He maintained that crime
had not increased in the Emerald
Isle, and that reports Of outrages
had been manufactured by inter
eSted parties. He affirmed that
the land league never fostered nor
approved Of outrdges. Two mil
lions Of people had attended the
various land meetings. If their
passions had been excited as their
opponents alleged, there would
have been much heavier calendar
of crime. A large section of the
Irish people were face To face with
starvation. yet notwithstanding ali
these circumstances. there had
been, during the past two years.
FIVE homicides and small number
of attacks on individuals. Ir.
Davitt submitted a memorandum
of Constructions TO organizers and
officers of the branches of the
land league" This memorandum
deprecated boycotting action by
the branches. and said that evil
dence was not wanting that num-
bers of men had Joined and were
joining the league who gave but a
half-hearted allegiance to its full
programme-men who would go
in for a compromise, aud give a
new lease Of life to landlordism.
Ii was resolved that when the gov
ernment land bill is announced
a national convention should be
summoned to pronounce upon it.
Mr.. Davitt urged that there must
be nocompromise with landlordism,
and repudiated the three F's now
advocated by many land agitators.
and proposed a. a remedial mea-
sure by the Gladstone government.

The annual report of the pilot

were 12S licensed pilots IN active

the New York Indicator saws:

Emigration in Italy.

Emigration a. a national evil is
sorely troubling Italian statesmen.
Statistics prove to US that l,l6S,-
600 emigrants left their overtaxed
country between 1868 and 1873,
haviRg previously obtained certif-
Gates from the government, where
as am unknown number annually
depart without letting the govern
ment know. And of all these il is
estimated that one-quarter go away
with the determination never To
return. The contsdini leave In
large numbers. OF 10000 emi
grants registered in 1873, 5000
were cOntadins. The largest con-
tiAgent is supplied by the prov
ince of Venice, the next by Genoa,
and the third by Lombardy, ap-
parently in exact ratio TO their
former prosperity. Remedies are
suggested from time to time.
Statesmen talk Of repopulating the
wastes of Sardinia, but Signor
Minutelli, in a lengthy speech the
ether day. hit on a happier plan.
Colonization, be- said, under gov
erment superintendence was the
only remedy against this falling to
pieces Of the Italian nationality.
Moreover, he argued, the celon-
lists need not 90 to America or the
Pacific isles: forty eight hours OF
sea voyage would deposit the emf
grants on the "Cyroniaca," so stud
ded with remains of Roman colSn-
les. Furthermore, New Guinea,
the basin of the Nyassa and the
Zambesi territory were within
easier reach; and Livingstone and
Stanly, he concluded, both attest
to the fertility and salubrity oI
these unknown regions.

There Was curious sort of DIM
ner at London the other day, dis
tiBguished electricians being the
guests. In the center of the table
was a covered dish, alleged TO con-
tain "gynnotus,' fresh from a
river in South America. The
chairman, instead Of saying grace,
spoke to the dish a. if asking soRe
one there to ask the usual blessing.
Then a solemn. but distinct voice
was heard, apparently coming from
the dish repeating the favorite
form. The cover was then raised.
and there was a telephone, some
body at the other end having per

Ever, .or The notification OF q null

ENsILAaE.-The publication OF null
titude of affidavits from amateur farmers
who were "wild" over the results OBJ
tanned from feeding ensilage seems
lal Qsly over, and now and then ray
OF real truth begins to make its real
worth more clear, and in many OF the
statements the economy was evidently
forced, so that suspicion is cast over the
whole subject. Very often the great
gain is made apparent by figuring the
value Of the ensilage AZ actual cost OF
production, and then balancing against
L hay and corn at market values instead
~ at real cost as in the case OF the silo
fodder. Accuracy seems wanting in too
many instances, and upon the very lew
impartial experiments that have been
instituted conviction seems to settle that
there is no such great gain as claimed.
Tn no instance have we seen any item IN
regard TO lost fertility, for an acre OF
land that produces seyenty-hve tons "
of corn fodder must be exhausted almost
be,ond any drain OF dozen grass crops
that would produce. twenty tons OF dry
food. Just what the future OF the sllo IL

Men Who Make Journalists.

II has been remarked that very few
men who get into journalism start out
with such inteation. They drift in ac-
cidentally, are prompted as they develop
capacity. Money, wealthy parents and
influence are Of no sort OF service in get
ting O young man n place on q news
paper. There is no business that is so
entirely Independent Of all these con.
alterations a. this. A wealthy father
can easily get his son q location to read
law or medicine, or push him forward in
almost any rank in life no may select !;
but he Is utterly powerless to do any,
thing for him in journalistic way. To
be sure he may buy newspaper, and
set him up in that way, but unless there
Is something in him called journalistic
knsck," natural knowledge Of what 10
write and how TO write 1t, he will be o
failure in that line, and all the money
and influence Of wealthy and perhaps
powerful relatives will count for nothing.
Some fond parents educate their sons
with the special view Of making jour
nalists Of them; but IL Is rare that we
hear Of these young men after few
years. Meanwhile, some youth born
among the hills, having nothing more
than Q common school education, and
the knowledge scraped up in country
printing Office, will advance to the front
rank In the profession. He has tho
journalistic knack, and forces recogni-
ton because he has II. He gets into a
good position, not because he has wealthy
parents to influence the proprietors Of
leading newspapers, but because he
knows what 10 write and how 10 write II.
