The presidential aspirants are busy in pull
ing the wires: Hancock is anxious for
another nomination; Window is looming mp

Blaine would break if he thought he would
never be president. He is an adroit politician
and his resources and audacity are marvel
Gus. When he finds public interest tagging,
and the Blaine party needs whooping up, he
gets some needy bohemian to make charges
against him, and then the gallant and limo

prosecuted. Blaine is the most successful
e1plaiuer in the country, because he has

are susceptible of triumphant explanation.
Senator Pendleton and Judge Thurman are
also in the field, while Morrison, of Illinois,
is introducing a gigantic scheme for
the improvement of the navigation of
the Mississippi river as his war-horse for the
coming conflict. Mr.. Morrison has sounded
the keynote for the next presidential can
vass, for the people of the Mississippi valley
are determined to make this leading issue
in the next contest for the presidency. In
deed, no other national question is attracting
so much attention, or is regarded of SO much
importance. OF course those who live on
the banks of the river are chiefly concerned
about the levees, and those who navigate the
river are anxious for an improved channel,
but these are minor matters and are only
side issues, as it were, compared to the great
and overwhelming issue of cheap transporta
ton. This issue touches almost every por-
ten of the country. The great grain-grow-
ing States want cheap transportation for
their products and they look to the Missis-
sippi river to furnish it. The city OF New
York and the railways leading from the
West to the East are alarmed at the
growing popularity of the river
route and are, therefore, hostile to its i'm

CAPTAIN EADs,s SHIP RAILWAY.


Captain Eads publishes IN the New York
Herald a communication explaining at
length the position Of his project for ship
railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
He says that the statement that the congress
sional committee has agreed to report ad-
versely to the proposition he makes to the
United States is erroneous and that the COM
mittee have the subject still under considera.
ton. He adds: 81 have no anxiety what
ever about raising the money with which to
build the road. If 1 live five years longer
| shall transport the largest loaded vessels
from sea TO sea across the Isthmus OF Tehu-
antepec whether the United States contrib
butes one nickel in aid Of the enterprise or
not. / offer to carry the commerce of the
United States for ninety-nine years, across
the isthmus, at half the rates that shall be
charged on all other commerce but that of
Mexico, and for this / ask the guarantee
of six per cent. dividends for
fifteen years ON $50,000O00 OF the
capital stock of the company. Should the
United States decline the proposal, 1 shall
certainly be justified in going where l can
get the necessary funds most easily. Should
the stock then, or afterward, be controlled
by English capitalists the commerce of the
United States will be very differently affected
British commerce will then, doubtless, be ia
vored to the fullest extent, and the COM
merce of the world, except that of Mexico,
may be made to pay all that it will BEAR
British experts of the very highest standing
aud ability have, with wonderful unanimity,
pronounced the ship-railway entirely practi-
cable, but no part oil the guarantee asked of |
the United States government is to attach |
until an absolute proof of this shall have |
been given. l am anxious that the ship |
railway shall be built and worked in the in
terest Of American commerce, and that my
countrymen shall not be misled as TO the real
merits of the proposition" The subject is one
of extreme Importance to this country, and
should the proposed Panama canal of les
seps prove a failure there can be no doubt
that a great advantage would arise from
having the project accomplished under
American auspices. Lessepss friends in
France show no signs of doubling that the
canal will be const ructed. Accounts from
Panama speak of difficulties in prosecuting
he work. especially from theoccurrence of
sickness, but those who remember the con-
truction of the Panama railroad, over the
anne route as the proposed canal is to take,
know that such endorsements, although
hey cause trouble, are not necessarily fatal
% the enterprise. With level canal, I'M
Instructed by locks from sea to sea, the canal
must certainly cripple Captain Eads's enter
prise, if such canal should be constructed.

"The -Texas-MeIico, Gulf of
Acknowledgements Railroad and
Transportation Company (limited)."
1 wrote down the words 1 could catch, and
seeing that Mr.. Wolfe was out of breath l
forbore to ask him to fill in the blanks.
Briefly summing up the plans of the Erlanger
people they may be put thus and in the fol-
lowing classihcations:
A railroad southerly through Kentucky
and part of Tennessee to Chattanooga from
Cincinnati, now in successful operation, owned
by Cincinnati in fact, but leased and operated
by the Erlanger syndicate.
A railroad from Chattanooga to Meridian,
Mississippi, nearly three hundred miles long,
running southwesterly from the former place,
traversing the richest mineral lands OF Ala
bama. Originally built by Boston, dabbled
in by the State and forced to receivership
in the person of Mr.. Wolfe.
By new line now building from Merid-
ian to New Orleans. To be finished say in
twelve months.
A line now surveying from Kansas City
to Memphis, thence to Sci ma
and Montgomery and to Brunswick ria Al
bany, this line in short portions to use some
of line Nos. and 2.
From Meridian to Vicksburg, thence across |
to Marshall on the Texas Pacific, by that |
to the Gulf of California, to the |
Pacific and commerce of the south Pacific |
ocean.
LINE OF BARGEs
On the rivers of Alabama to fetch coal to |
Mobile, New Orleans and the jetties, with |
he intention of driving out the hotillas that |
bring the Pittsburg Goals twenty-five hun
Darges of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. |
This, in brief, presents the prospects of the
'yndicate known as the Erlanger. OF its in
ernal arrangements, its composition, its in
ernecine feuds and the dangers that beset
t, no one can know who is not of its body
How far will it succeed? The pregnant
womb of time holds the answer. In the
hitting consultations and manipulations of
which the railroads of the South have re-
emily been the shuttle there is a chance for
lnything and all things of change.
As / arose to leave, Mr.. Wolfe said:
Hold on moment Have a cigar? Tell
he people who read this interview, that we
re not calling upon home capital. Ours is
o much money from foreign country. And

Russian rule, which approached the natives
more on their own level, and also added
some religious activities to those of mere
trade, was more kindly and considerate than
ours has yet proved. Nor is it pleasant to
hear offair-skinned, bright-eyed half-breeds,

comments are of course based largely on
