Angus NJ. Smith, one of Sir
John Franklin's companions in the
Arctic regions, lives in Cleveland,
Ohio. Smith SAYS that he left Eng
land in the Terror. the companion
ship of the Erebus, and managed
to reach the Devils Thumb. The
vessel landed broadside against
the ice banks and was thrown en-
tirely out of the water. His party
remained in that region for two
years. He finally returned Il
England and wanted to 90 witt
Franklin on his last trip, but M
wife persuaded him to give up th'
notion.

A New Railroad.

The Times prints the prospectus
of a Continental railroad company,
which proposes constructing al
double track air line road from
New York to Chicago and Omaha
by consolidation of five companies
organized under the laws of Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pean
sylvania. Its promoters aim to
furnish a great thoroughfarc for.
transportation of freight at least
cost with greater ease and eNpe-
dition than any other line. The
present trunk lines, it is argued
were originally built for local psr-
poses on circsitous routes chosen
to avoid expense or reach business
centers. The new road will have
uniform grades, and its carrying
capacity will be three-fold that of
spy present line. The schedule
proposed is ID cents per bushel
for grain from Chicago, Is cents
from st. Louis and "A cents from
Couscil Bluffs. The tarff on grain
from Chicago, during the past
year has been but 20 cents
per bushel. The management wal
begin with eighty trains per day
each way from Chicago and Ne"
York, which they expect after the
first six months to increase TO lOC
trains daily each way. The esti
mated cost of the Continental rail
wav. Including stations, ground
equipping, machine shops and al
property, and necessary appliance
to put the road in first clas
cunning order, is slOO,ooO,oOO
Prominent capitalists OF Europ
and America have already pledge
the amount required to begi
operations.
The Times says that work Wi
be commenced within few week:
and that contracts have actuali
been made for grading and tn
construction of bridges betwee
here and Chicago. The line eros
e. 81 railroads between New \ or
and Council Bluffs, and will shorte
the distance of - of these roa'
over 100 miles. At Council Bluff
the road will connect with Il
Missouri river and with the Pacli
railway. Although the primal
idea is freight highway, IT
nevertheless proposed TO furnr
rapid passenger transit, and hril
New York and Chicago within
hours of each other.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican, is
nominally Republican paper, and in time
past, when it saw some good i'm the party,
it was as Jealous as party pgper needs be
But of late it has become very tired. and
the election of Warner Miller seems to
have filed it with disgust. Witness the
following:
For nearly two months the half breed
Republicans at Albany have had the OPP
portunity of a generation in New York
politics. They have used it to elect man
known not to be fit for the Senate. and
they are endeavoring to secure the election
of another man for whom better apology
can be made, but for whom an apology is
necessary; man distinctly below the
standard of the senator's whom New York
has chosen in the past.
Nor is it enough to be told that Miller's
election means the downfall of the boss
business" The ''boss business" consists in
nominating unfit men and insisting on their
election, not because they will make good
Senators or representatives, but because
they are useful to the party, or will give
the Democrats fits, or take care of the reb-
ell brigadiers. This is the essence of the
"boss business" and it is on like grounds
that Miller's election has been urged. The
contest at Albany has had much that was
but it has had nothing worse
than the readiness with which good men
have CLOSED and condoned machine prac-
tees now that a machine is being run
against an ex boss. The election of men
not fit to represent great State in the Fed
eral Senate is public calamity and it
should be dealt with accordingly"

The Chicago Times has been aiding tn,

The Chicago Times has been aiding the
Rev. Leonard Bacon in his attack on the
American Bible society as follows:
'eThe American Bible society doesn't
take kindly to the revised Testament
Everybody, the unorthodox and heather, il
publishing the volume as revised, and the
American Bible society, with large stock
of old bibles on hand doesn't like the COM
petition. 1t set its face against the new
book seemingly because it does not enjoy
monopoly of its circulation. If a lay
man were to characterize the bible society
as fraud, it might be thought he was
moved by ignorance, or envy, malice, or
all uncharitableness; but so good a cleric
as the Rev. Dr. Leonard W. Bacon has
been showing up the institution in a way
calculated to impair its usefulness as a
salary paying, sineeure- breeding establish
ment."
DIR. Bacon speaks publicly of this fat,
overgrown lazy monopoly" as "a public
nuisance, hindering the circulation of the
scriptures in this country, and accomplish
ing nothing in any country that would not
be better done if it were out of the way.
The doctor however is not contented
with such sweeping generalities but makes
further specific charges. He charges that
IAN unsafe, not to say dishonest, ring has
been dominating the affairs of the publish
ing house; that it is close corporation
hiding its doings from the public; that it
has Systematically sought to circumscribe
the free circulation of the bible, that it
may start Macedonian cries and encourage
livelier contributions; that its freely given
capital of millions has attracted an army of
book agents, salaried by churches; and of
its 10000 contributing life members, and
an illimitable number of annual members
paying 50 each, not one in thousand is
ever permitted to know how things are
manipulated. The doctor disclaims
against further solicitation of funds for
this concern as q scandal against public
morals, and advises that nothing further
be given it, but that contributions go in
stead to the missionary societies, or to
committees authorized to go into the open
market and buy tracts and bibles where
they may be had the cheapest"
The Times is nl-natured enough to sug-
gest that DIR. Bacon should be also sure the
money contributed to the trust for mission
airy purposes viii not be misapplied the
same as it given to the bible society. There
is one thing however, certain. that if Dr.
Bacon is correct in his information, the |
sooner the facts are made public the better |
for all parties concerned.

They seem to be making good deal Of
fuss over the attitude which Governor
Roberts of Texas has taken on the question
of a special Thanksgiving day, to celebrate
Garfields recovery. The whole matter is
of very little national importance and these
glorious United States will probably get
along about the same, with a trifing differ
ence in the matter of indigestion, whether
we have two Thanksgiving days this year or
only one Candidate Foster is the only
anyway, and. as he only wants little
campaign advertisement the general senti-
ment is that he can get along without it.
This is most unfortunate time of the
year to hold Thanksgiving day, turkey is
not yet ripe, while celery and cranberry
sauce are unknown to the market. Thanks
giving day with only roast beef and NUT
ton could never be success and when
even oysters are wanting it would prove a
dismal failure. The governor of Texas may
be SO full of sympathy that he is danger of
suffocating, and yet in view of all these OBJ
jsctions to July or August as a date of
national rejoicing, think himself justified
in declining Candidate Fosters request.
Yet there may be less sense in Roberts re-
fusal than there would be in the governors
of other states, for Texans can make very
decent and enthusiastic Thanksgiving day,
with no other accessory than good Bourbon
whiskey, and that article is as available in
summer as in winter.

Sitting Bull has finally surrendered and
officers. The only question now agitating
the mind of Grandmother Kirkwood is as
to what the deuce he is going to do with
him. Sitting Bull has been the Indian
conundrum that has harassed the mind and
vexed the soul of the Secretary of the In
terror for many moons; and captured and
q prisoner, he is about as big an elephant
to handle as he was while Free As an en-
envy, making war. the course to pursue
was more or less clear, namely,
to make pretense of fighting him, and
get whipped occasionally; but now he is in
custody, the probable course, if we are to
judge anything of the future by the past.
viii be to feed him and his warriors awhile
fattea his ponies, supply him with the lat
est pattern of firearms and plenty of am
munition, and then let them go to wage
another war against us and kill few
more of our soldiers. The murder of
young Pugh in New Mexico the
other day by some reservation Indians
shows what q beautiful and shining success
our Indian policy is, and the putting of
Sitting Bull into such shape that he could
once more murder men and outrage wo-
men, would be nothing more than the nat
ural and logical course to pursue in follow
ing out the same policy. There is no
doubt that we are the greatest nation on
