In answer to an inquirer we desire
to say that we take no stock in the
proposed ship canal across the state
Of Michigan. The expense is es
iimated S5,ss4,86o, and would
doubtless cost twice that sum, and
when completed it would be of little
use, and no real benefit, to the pro.
ducing classes of the Northwest.
The railroads are land will continue to
be, our dependence for Transporting
from the vast agricultural regions OF
the West to the great manufacturing
cities Of the East and to tide water,

These may need regulating by judi
cious Legislation, but we believe
that without any other regulation
than one that the price shall never be
more from any nearer point, than
from that of a more distant compe.
ting point, in less than five years
competition alone, will bring freights
down to one-half cent per ton pei

could not ask or expect cheaper
transportation if we had ship canal.

sippi to tide water by the score.
1t seems to us what the producing
classes really do need in the way Of
Congressional aid, If anything, is the
re establishing Of our foreign carrying
trade by wise subsidies to Ocean
Steamship companies; and the passage
by Congress Of a law that would alb
solutely prohibit all gambling in
grain. But perhaps even these things
will be best regulated by individual
action.

The action Of the Legislature o.
Mississippi, in changing the name Of
Sumner county to that of Webster
shows the strong hatred of the North
and her prominent an,i-slavery men,
which animates the southern people
and demonstrates the necessity o.
keeping, what is sometimes called the
"bloody shirt" still floating in tn,
breezes of the North for the protec
ton of the political rights of al

The oleomargarine tribe and 9th

adullerating articles of food and

the pending bills in Congress to pro-
hibit such adulteration. They claim
that the Constitution does not author.
ize any such legislation. That may
be SO, we do not know But it seems
to us the constitutional question is,
d ocs the Constitution prohibit such

The moral indignation Of Mr..

the New York Evening Post, and

Of that gentleman's disagreeable ex-

in his speech at the stalwart meeting,
held under the, guise OF the Lincoln
Club, when he slid he would "rather
have a thousand years Of conflict
than four such years Of foul, sneak

asked to which four years he

Despite the figures presented by
interested parties, who oppose Mr..
Lacey's postal saving bank scheme,
from the most ca eful estimate we
can make from the published statisti-
