with these possibilities before Il ~
cannot re how the u. r. company can
b benefited BY accepting the peopost
ton Of the Northern Pacific company.
There y another point in this matter
which the U. r. company cannot AFFORD
to overlook, and that b, the Utah 4
Northern IL really but . feeder Of the
U. p. bruad gauge from Ogden Eat,
and that any arrangement It may emit r
into by which the passenger anu freight
traffic Of Montana would be diverted
over any other line would result In great
pecuniary loss. Still another point IL
that the Utah and Northern can be
built to Helena, at least year in adj
vance of the arrival Of the Northern Pa
cific at that place and could gain . foot
ing and prestige there which would
operate greatly to its advantage when
. ,nfronted with it's rival. Again, should
the L. p. accept either proposition Ut the
Northern Pacific. the former company
would have it's hands tied and it's lines
in which condition the
y. =. could hold it until the great broad
gauge had traversed the length Of the |
Territory and secured important advan-
ages, when 1t could ''shake" the mar
'ow gauge and bid it defiance. As we
rave said We can see no advan-
age to the Union Pacific in
Drning the proposed combination.
IN the contrary, We can see wherein the
J. r., with its little narrOw-gauge line
n Montana, would rum ut great disad-
antage by f0oling with and playing
econd fiddle to the great broad-gauee
'ortl,ern Pacific. In the pro rutu busi-
e.s the latter would obtain the lions
,..re of the freights, and in the end
subordinate the Narrow
suge u its own purposes. The people ,
Montana. and esq ecialiy those Of ,

Bla1ne's Fortune.
The Way in Which He Began His Rail
road Investments.

About twelve years ago young man named
Stephen B. Elkins was sent to Congress as del
egate from New Mexico. He was blushing and
ambitious. Blaine, the Speaker, paid SO much
more courtesy to his wishes than he expected
that the young man fell in love with him.
Soon afterward Elkins, being young widow
err. began to court daughter of Senator Henry
Davis. of West Virginia. He heard Davis
talking about coal lands near by. Elkins
looked into the matter, and began to buy also.
He drew Blaine into the purchase. This
turned Blaines attention to Virginia railroads,
and he became purchaser of the old James
River Canal and organizer of railroad on its
he'd. This yielded him handsome fortune OF
itself. Meantime mining in Colorado ieaped
mn. and Elkins went into it with Mr.. Chatee;
his old associate in the sale OF the Maxwell
Mexican grant, which was the common basis
of their wealth They both liked Blanche
nianked mn his money, and came out ahead
there. too. He was backed up for the Presl-
dency by these two men both times. NOW III
kins and Blaine are looking for large extern
sions of the railroad they have developed from
Senator Davis coal fields. Both Blame ana
Conkling are, therefore, hard in pursuit OF for
tune-both we'll advertised, both glutted WITH
success and starved with disappointment; ana
of such is not the kingdom OF heaven. bnt
Elkins has several fine children by that girl
he went counting among the coal lands.

About Thoreau.
John Burroughs in Century,

John Burroughs in Century.l
Thoreau was, probably, the widest civilized
man this country has produced, adding to the
shyness of the hermit and woodsman the Wild
ness of the poet, and to the wildness of the poet
the greater ferity and elusiveness of the mys-
tic. An extreme product of civilization and
of modern culture, he was as yet untouched
by the worldly and commercial spirit
of his age and country as any red
man that ever haunted the shores Of
his native stream. He put the whole of Ma
ture between himself and his fellows A man
of the strongest local attachments--not the
least nomadic, seldom wandering beyond his
native township, yet his spirit was as restless
and as impatient of restraint as any nomad or
Tartar that ever lived. He cultivated an ex-
treme wildness, not only in his pursuits and
tastes, but in his hopes and imaginings. He
says to his friend, "Hold fast your most indefi-
mite waking dream" Emerson says his life
was an attempt to pluck the Swiss edelweiss
from the all but inaccessible cliffs. The high
er and the wilder, the more the fascination for
him. Indeed, the loon, the moose, the beaver
were but faint types and symbols of the wild
ness he coveted and would have re-appear in
his life and books;-not the cosmical, the uni
versatile was not great enough for that-but
simply the wild as distinguished from the do
nestle and the familiar, the remote and sur
pRising as contrastsd with the hackneyed and
the commonplace, arrowheads as distinguished
from whet-Stones or jack-knives.
Thoreau was French on one side and Puri-
tan on the other. 1t was the wild, untamable
French core in him-a dash of the gray wolf
that stalks through his ancestral folklore, as
in Audubon and the Canadian UoyageurS-that
made him turn with such Zest and such gen ius
to aboriginal nature; and it was the Puritan
element in him-strong, grim, uncompromis-
ing, almost heartless-that held him to such
high, austere, moral and ideal ends. His gen.
Jus was Saxon in its LONELINESS and since rity
in its directness and scorn of rhetoric, but that
wild revolutionary cry of his, and that sort of
restrained ferocity and hirsuteness, are more
French

ACCORDING to the Lima correspondent of
the New York World, writing under date of
Nav 27, the Peruvians seem to be anxious
for an armistice and recognition by Chill
of Montero as chief of a provisional govern
ment which might call congress to decide
upon peace terms. Chill, on the other hand,
will be satisfied with nothing short of
grant of the territory of Tarapaca from the
provisional government to start with, leav-
ng osher matters to be settled by congress.
To this the Peruvians will not agree, and
there is no indication of the time at which
the Chilian occupation of Peru will cease;
indeed, the prospect seems to be that the
territory of Peru will be incorporated into
Chill as part of that Republic. 1t is posi-
lively stated that the first message OF the
Gillian executive to congress will recon-
mend the absorption of Tarapaca and Tacna
without waiting for the leave OF Peru,
and there is little doubt that the recon-
mendation will be unanimously approved.

CRITICISM and compliment were finely
combined in the following passage of Mr..
Curtiss address referring to Wendell Phil
lips's Phi Beta Kappa Grafton last year: ga
year ago sat with my brethren of the Phi
Beta Kappa at Cambridge, and seemed to
catch echoes of Edmund Burke's resounding
impeachment of Warren Hastings, in the
sparkling denunciation of the timidity of
American scholarship. Under the spell of
Burke's burning words, Hastings half be-
lieved himself to be the villain he heard de-
scribed. But the scholarly audience of the
scholarly orator of the Phi Beta Kappa, with
an exquisite sense of relief, felt every count
of his singing indictment recoil upon him
self. He was the glowing refutation of his
own argument. Gentleman, scholar, ora
tor, his is the courage that never quailed;
his, the white plume of Navarro that flashed
meteor-like in the front of battle; his, the
Amphion music of an eloquence that leveled
the more than Theban walls of American
slavery. At once judge, accuser and Gull
prit, in the noble record of his own life, he
and his class are triumphantly acquitted"
The Portland daily press., 1882-06-23

members of Congress, who are usually active
men of business, burdened with multitude of
duties are unable, from lack of time, to look
deeply into the complex executive manage
ment of the government. Moreover, as the
national executive officers perceive the incom-
potency of Congress and of the people to deal
with the expert business of their departments,
they naturally act independently, beyond the
scope of their authority, and often arrogantly.
So great is the power of the executive, and SO
concealed is 1t from the public view, that the
temptations are strong to extend it to unau-
thorized and dangerous limits. Every decade
renders it more necessary for Congress to have
the constant advice of experts on matters of
and more intimate control over our executive
management.

THE commercial treaty between Burmah
and Great Britain hangs fire because King
Theebaw insists that he will not receive the
British minister unless he removes his boots
when he enters the royal palace. The Brit
ish minister is big enough to go barefoot,
but resents the inpertinent demand that he
shall go unshod; SO it is doubtful when
Burmah and Britain will come to focus on
the commercial treaty.

Connecticut, headed off lawsuit in fine
