quest a permit to carry pistol AS
he acted strangely the policeman on

an idea that President Arthur was

that he wanted the sanction of the

he would know the President if he

OUR SEsQUI- CENTENNIAL. The sug-
gestion of our correspondent 'Modoc, "
which we published yesterday, to the
effect that the sesqui. centennial celebra-
ton of the landing of Oglethorpe be eel
ebIated on the 22d of February, Wash
ington's birthday, has some points about
it to commend it to popular favor. New
ertheless we think the two celebrations
should be separate and distinct Wash
ingtOn's birthday is observed every year
in a stereotyped sort of way, aud is a
matter of course. The landing of Ogle
thorpe, however, will never be celebrated
but once in fifty years. and its import
ance in Georgia is so great that nothing
should be done to disturb its identity. 1t
seems to US that it would be out of place
to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the settlement of Georgia
ten days after it had passed.

GeneraI =. Z. Alexander.

The election of this gentleman as
President of the Central Railroad, in the
place of the lamented Mr.. WadleY, has,
as far as We have been able to learn,
given very general satisfaction. General
Alexander is undoubtedly railroad
man" of a very high order of ability.
This he has proven on various occasions
in the past few years. While still con-
nected with a not very prominent rail-
road in Alabama, he displayed such
marked capacity for railroad manage
ment that he was taken up and made
President of the Georgia Railroad defeat
ing for that position Hon. John P. King,
who had been intimately identified with
the road for many years, during great
portion of which time he had managed
it as its head, to the entire satisfaction
of the stockholders and the manifest
benefit of that important highway. This
was the highest possible compliment to
General Alexander, and he fully vindi-
Gated the trust reposed in him.
Under his management the road
prospered beyond precedent, and so
much did he add to his reputation that
he was, about two years ago, offered the
first Vice Presidency of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. This brought
him into prominence as one of the rail-
road magnates of the country, and he
speedily became the virtual head of that
great Interstate commercial highway,
which important position he held, with
honor to himself and credit to his com
pany. until but few months ago, when
he resigned for the purpose of enjoying
a season of rest, which he felt he abso
lutely needed.
Coming to the Presidency of the Cen
trail with this prestige, there cannot be
doubt that in his hands that old reliable
line will continue to prosper as it die
under the management of Mr.. Wadley
especially as we learn that its efficient Vice
President, Captain W. G. Raoul, and it,
active and ever wide-awake Superln
tendent, Colonel William Rogers, are tC
retain their old places, in which, under
the former administration, they were
invaluable. A bright future il
to be anticipated for the Central
therefore, and in this anticipation The
stockholders and the public generally
evidently join, as we notice that within
the past two days renewed confidence
has been exhibited in its stock. We
have no doubt that the directors have
made a wise choice in the selection Of
General Alexander as the head of thai
corporation, and that he will continue
to work as faithfully to advance its in
terests, and those of the people of the
State and the city of Savannah, as did
his highly venerated and sincerely la
| mented predecessor.

That Minnesota Magnetic Well.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

The proofs published yesterday morn
ing in the Pioneer Press of the discovery
of large deposit of iron ore upon the
property of the st. Paul Harvester
Works, just adjoining the city limits
created genuine sensation, and was the
talk of the town during the day. Some
of course, doubted that the discovery
was of great importance, while others al
once saw the force of the proofs given
and became enthusiastic supporters OF
the theory that St. Paul may soon be-
come the centre of a great IRON ore pro
ducing district. Some things which
were not stated in the article which APP
peared in the Pioneer Press yesterday,
and which have an important
bearing upon this matter, may
now be given. Within the past
three weeks the long neglected country
between the city limits and White Bear
suddenly began to be inquired for, and
real estate dealers were surprised to find
a great demand for outside property lying
to the northwest of ST. Paul. For in.
stance, W. L. Aimes sold the northeast
quarter of the northeast quarter of sec
ton 81, town 90, range %, for $40, TIC;
buu Vic dSOnb WIZ ICpOIlCQ buG Sdl6 10 q
Pioneer Press reporter, stated at the time,
there seems to be very sudden boom
in property in that direction indicat-
ing a near locality to the recent discov.
cry. 1t also seems that several men of
money have recently been trying to pur.
chase land lying in that direction.
and one piece of property which
a short time ago was offered
at $50 per acre is now held at 800.
Among those who hold property in that
may be mentioned J. w.
Bass, Bigelow, Flandrau g. Clark, H. S.
Fairchild, and others equally prominent.
A significant fact in this connection is
the late very large increase in the CAPT
tai stock of the St. Paul Harvester
Works Company, This fact was one of
the chief topics of speculation and dis
cussion yesterday, some arguing that
the company had perfect faith in its dis
covery and proposed to work it at once.
while others took the view that the dis
covery might possibly have been made
to assist the increase in the capital stock.
The first opinion, however, was the pre-
vailing one. At any rate, good deal of
excitement has been produced and Eek
PLANTATION" will be the order of things
from now out. In the meantime all Of
the experts who have examined the spe-
cimens discovered are convinced that
vast body of highly magnetic and very
fine iron ore has been Struck" and that
future developments will place ST. Paul
within the important ''iron- producing
area" of the country. A recent test
proves something. A gentleman inter-
ssted found that while the variation of a
compass in the immediate vicinity of the
Hotel was 6 degrees, within
4 less distance than three miles on a
inc east of north the variation was more
han doubled 1t is also asserted that
The dip of the needle at certain points
near the city is from IL to IS degrees
proof positive of the existence OF iron
deposits.

The New York Times is by no means
encouraged at the Republican outlook in
Maine, which it characterizes as not dis
cOuraging but not iattering. 1t at
tributes the damage TO its party to the
fact that the machinery of the party has
fallen so completely into the hands Of
Mr.. Blaine and his followers, and that
they have used it with so arbitrary
spirit, and with so deliberate a purpose
to sacrifice the progress of the party to
their personal aims as to drive off many
Republicans to the fusionists. It says that
''BIr. Blaine, partly through the effect of
the opposition TO him at home, partly by
the succession Of General Arthur TO the
Presidency, and largely by the display
he has made of his unftness for high
position, has fallen from the post of
mower which he at one time maintained
with so much misdirected energy"
