THE cheap lands ofthe United States
are nearly all takenup," says Chicago
land hunter, land yet We are still invlt-
ing and urging all the peoples of the
world TO come to this country and eS-
tablish homes in our far West because
there's land enough and room enough
for all. The corners will find presently
that there is neither land enough nor
room enough for any more of them, I'M
less they shall have plenty of money
to start with. "-ErchdRge.
That statement may not be very ac-
curate now, but it is approaching accu-
racy with startling rapidity. The broad
prairies of the West will furnish farms
and food for many millions yet, and no
crowding. But We are not sorry that
this is so, and shall regret when it ceases
to be so. Ifthere is any advantage in
possessing u new country rich in unde-
velOped resources which we Americans
covet-if such a country with such OPP
portunities is so much more desirable
and attractive as home than the
crowded countries of the old world, that
the inhabitants of the latter are rushing
thither at the rate of {, 900 per day, it is
question whether we are not becom-
ing little too prohisNts with our n.rtl,-
right.

A GREAT MAN AND HIS LITTLE
WIFE.

One of the strangest, and withal the
saddest phases of married life occurring
in the history of any distinguished man,
was that Of the union Of Thomas CAR
LYLE with JANE BAILLIE WELSH. No
chapter in the writings of that great
author is more full of strange philOso-
ply than is suggested by that in his re-
cent biography which reveals the secret
of his married life.
Literary men have seldom been hap
PLY mated in marriage. CARLHLE'S
union was no exception. But there was
n distinction that marked wide difFs~-
ence between the unfortunate results of
his and other like marriages. 1t was a
union which, without love, stimulated
the ambition of each. CARLYLE would
have won his way TO eminence simply
by the law of preponderating force,
even without q wife. But he had a
wife whom he did not love and who did
not love him. She was self-willed, hot
tempered, ambitious, and as tempestu-
Gus as even the dyspeptic author himself.
The strange feature in their relations
to which We allude is, that this ill-mated
alliance should, unlike the case of
DICKENS and others, prove no impedi'
ment, but rather q stimulus to his dis
tinguished career. This ill-tempered
wife had an extreme practical turn in
her disposition, and instead of trying to
defeat the ambition Of husband she
did not love, she resolved with herself
to make him the vehicle by which she
herself should ride to prominence and
enjoy measure Ofthe worlds success.
She Spurred him on, not by the draw
ings of affection, but rather by the
stings of sharp criticism and decorating
sarcasm that would never allow him to
do less than his best.
There was not the slightest romance
in their relations. lie had not won her
heart when she married him, but she
believed that he had genius and that
she could fan that genius into flame,
and on that ground she became the
most loyal, the most uutiring, the most
unlOved of wives, until CARLYLE,
looking over her papers after her death,
awoke to the fact that she had, in effect,
given up everything for him in order
that he might be all that she believed
he could be.
Here the problem of happy marriage
was as difficult and hopeless OF solution
as it ever had been in the world, when
these two people found themselves in
the same bark for life voyage. And
perhaps, neither party ever had the
roseate sense of happiness. The cOndi
tiOns existed for any amount of trouble
certainly for the upsetting of a great ca
reer, and yet, by the practical tact, anC
a woman's philosophy, this little wO'
man kept her husbands erratic heaC
fOur-square to the world, and spurreC
him to do what he was created for.
Nothing, We say, in the tragic biogra
ply of CARLYLE is so strange and faS
cinating Is the glimpses of the growth
of man of genius up to his grasp o
conscious power, under the subtle train
ing and tact Of a little woman who pu
herself aside, and was willing to b
thrust into obscurity until she haC
adroitly made him the vehicle of bear
ing them both to a worldwide distinc
ton There is lesson in the history o
CARLYLE'S married life worth many
sermons on divorce.

The Washington Pst says that the
public need not congratulate itself upon
an early adjournment Of Congress. No
such programme is down in the bills.
On the contrary, the one determined
upon by the able majority looks to a
session lasting until the middle Of July,
if not later. Partisanship first, business
afterwards, is the plan. There is no in
tention of passing the appropriation
bills just now, or even hurrying them.
If they were taken up and passed, the
country would seek to know why the
session was being prolonged, and the de-
STABILITY of certain party schemes could
not be urged in salts factory explanation;
so the last are to be first and the first

THE American railway system is in
disputably the leading element in our
national progress, prosperity, wealth
and increase in population, commerce,
manufacturers, agriculture and mining.
In no other country in the world has
the railway system been 50 vigorously
used for all the purposes of advanced
civilization and internal progress and
development as in our own. 1t follows
from these considerations that those
who Gncy that the system has reached
its limits of extension and application
are a. much deceived now as they were
in 1878, when they arrived at similar
conclusion.

A COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION TO rHs
WP a q. RAILROAD.

At meeting Of citizens held last
evening, to consider the best method OF
raising the sum of $4,000, assigned to
this county, for completing the right o.
way for the w. P. & c. Railroad, 1t was
concluded to ask the Board Of Commits
sioners to submit to a vote OF the people
the proposition Of subscribing this sum
to the stock of the road.
This is unquestionably the fairest
mode Of raising the money, and but for
the length Of time II will require 10
take the vote there could be no reason
able objection to it. To facilitate the
matter, q special meeting of the Com
missioners will be called for Monday or
Tuesday, but even by the most speedy
action, a vote cannot be taken and the
result aseertained in much less than
forty days.
This delay is to be regretted. We
had hoped that the risk of this delay
and the further risk of an adverse deci-
sion at the polls, would not be neees-
sary, but that sufficient number Of
citizens would be found willing to take
this much stock in the road at once,
and thus close the matter up, so far as
this county is concerned.
We cannot afford to lose the road for
five times the amount asked at our
hands. Nor should the immediate
prosecution of the enterprise he endan-
gered by any delay on our part in max
ing up our proportion of the money for
the right of way. And if, after
consultation with the gentlemen
who represent the capital for con-
SI->.etias, tho road, anu VINO Will be IN
the city next week, it is deemed expedi-
ent, some steps should be taken to guar
antee the free right of way at any time
it may best suit them to begin the work
reconstruction. Delays are dangerous,
and interests of such magnitude as this
should not beput to unnecessary hazard.
These capitalists are not bound by any
contract or obligation save an informal
understanding or promise that they will
build it ifthe right Of way is furnished
and the financial situation continues ia
vorable. We have not the slightest
reason to suppose that they will not be
ready with the capital if we are ready
with the right Of way, but any protract-
ed delay on our part will, as matter of
right, release them if they shall elect to
Withdraw.

that would stand, having made erasures
and inteIlineations, thereby depriving
his children of q considerable sum and

suppose he would have bestowed more

In response to the suggestion that the
excessive cost of English and European
roads resulted in great part from the ex-
pense of securing the right of way, Mr..
FINK conceded that the right of way in
the densely populated countries of Eu-
rope, and especially in England, cost
something more than in this country,
but did not believe that this item ex-
ceeded from one to three thousand dol
lars per mile, which is very ineonsid-
cradle matter. The taritfOn rails alone,
which increases the price on that item
of construction in the United States S2T
per ton, more than offsets the greater
cost Of right of way elsewhere. The ay-
erage cost of rolling stock on American
roads is about 5000 per mile.
When the time of construction, dur
ing which the capital is unproduetive,
and the discounts in negotiating bonds
is considered, he thinks the amount at
which the railroads of the United States
are capitalized is not by any means ex-
ceSsive.
The deduction he makes from this
fact is, that the 5 per cent. on this capt.
talization is not as excessive as profits
on an investment which is real and rea-
sonable. The roads reported per cent.
earnings in 1880, which was more than
in former years, and the charge had
been made that this ) per cent. WAS on
fictitious or watered stocks, and though
nominally reasonable, was in fact ex-
tOrtionate.
Mr.. FINK's estimates for this country
NAV be within bounds, but to an outsid-
er even $4,000 per mile seems to be an
excessive average.
