COMPARISON OF ATTITUDES.

Nothing speaks for the Northern Pacific
route across the continent with such steady
and persuasive eloquence as comparison
of the elevations which are required to be
surmounted. Take a profile of the Union
and Central Pacific line and you find it
crosses nine distinct mountain ranges,
eight of which are higher than the sum-
nit of the main range where the Northern
Pacific touches the tip-top of its overhead
line With the completion of the tunnels
the difference becomes still greater The
expenditure of force that is necessary to
lift every train On the Union and Central
Pacific road over these successive noun
tain ranges represents one of the perpetual
disadvantages that line must bear
through all time. If the Northern and
Southern Pacific roads had been built first
it is doubtful if the Union and Central
Pacific roads would have ever been con-
structed. Envy is disarmed at the outset.
Leaving out of view the better terminal
facilities, shorter route, more favorable
water connections, the difference of alti-
tude, more than compensating the higher
latitude, is equivalent to an enhancement
of capital of at least $5O,O0O,O0O.
Helena weekly herald., 1883-09-13
THE DIFFERENCE OF COST

The Union and Central Pacific roads
were constructed at a time when the cost
Of labor and material was at its highest
point. If that same work along the same
route were to be done now, it could be
accomplished just as well in every respect
for one-third less than it actually cost at
the time Of its construction. This exces-
sive cost represents so much dead capital
on which interest must be paid out ofits an
nual earnings for all time to come. In the
long steady race of competition that now
has begun, never to end, this weight will
be felt more and more, instead of less and
less as the years go by and rates are re-
duced. Freights that the Northern Pa
cifc could carry at profit, would be be-
low actual cost to the Union and Central.
This fact points to the coming of the day
when the latter lines will have to rely for
their earnings entirely upon their local
business.
This difference of cost can be seen to
best advantage in the overhead line at the
Mullan Pass. This piece Of heavy work,
about four miles in length, was completed
in about six weeks and at total cost of
not exceeding $4,000 Such piece of
work, fifteen years ago, could not have
been executed for less than twice that sum.

A Distinguished Historian.

Prof Van Hoist, the author of "a Consti-
tutional History of the United States" three
volumes of which have been written, trans
lated and republished in this country, is in
Helena this evening. The work upon which
he is engaged promises to be of lasting value
and it is deservedly popular in America.
While it does not f1atter us indiscriminately
and is severely just, it nevertheless, is keenly
alive to all that is commendable and heroic
in our history, and enables us to see our
selves as others see us.
1t will be contribution of lasting value
and will occupy permanent place in our
literature. Since NJ De Tocquevilles'
Democracy in America no work of this
magnitude concerning the United States has
been undertaken by one not to the manor
born.
In more than one private library in our
town Prof Won Hoist would be able to see
his elegant volumes, showing that his name
and fame preceded him to the remote and
hitherto isolated country which he now
visits and where he would be made to feel
that he was more welcome if he would stay
longer

happy toll their seed time and harvest shall

ltude and gratulations that this is not the
first, and that it will not be the last that
this wide land of ours witnesses on the same
great scale of effort and benefcence.
AS our flying footsteps leave the heights
of moral and natural vision, am sure this
Company will feel this occasion was not un-
worthy of an assemblage which the Secre-
tary of the Interior honors with his attend
ance, and the illustrious soldier, after fol-
lowing his own fame around the world,
finds attractive in it's interests to which
the Ministers of the Powers Of Europe lend
the favor of their contenance, and which
collects so many eminent men of our own
country and of the old world to assist in this
international celebration

RECEPTION oFvILLARD,s PARTY
Helena Prepared for their Coming FRI
day Afternoon.

The City Council last evening made such
preparations as lay in its power for the re-
ception of the Willard party on Friday.
On motion of Alderman Vawter special
committee composed of Alderman Cole, Cur
tbs and Morris was appointed with instruc-
tions to act in conjunction with the Mayor
and City Marshal in the employment of
vehicles to convey the City Council to the
depot on Friday for the purpose of extend
ing welcome to President Henry Willard of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and
guests; also to convey the distinguished
visitors to and about the Capital, including
drive to the Territorial Fair Grounds, and to
procure music for the occasion.
Upon motion of Alderman Cole, it was Or
dered that committee of two be appointed
to superintendent the decoration of the city
in honor of the distinguished visitors of the
Willard party, and it was further ordered
that the citizens Of Helena be requested to
assist in properly decorating the city. and
generally to aid in making the reception of
our visitors one worthy of the Capital; also
that said committee act in conjunction with
the Mayor in the performance of said duties.
The Mayor appointed Aldermen Vawter and
Hamilton as such committee.

In estimating the solid bottom and resourc-
es of the great transcontinental lines the I'm
ion and Central Pacific companies together
received 2O,OOO,OOO acres of land the North
ern Pacific more than twice that amount
At the time these grants were made there
was little or no value to any of this land and
the roads were simply given an opportunity
to share in the wealth they were expected to
create. But the changes of twenty years
have put another face on this matter. The
land grant of the North Pacific will ultimate
ly realize enough to repay the entire cost of
construction and will enable it to prosecute
the work of building branches on either side
to every portion of tributary country. On
the contrary, the lands of the Union and
Central Pacific are still more inferior in
quality than less in quantity, and as the
time approaches for the repayment of the
loan, the supposed advantage of
this miscalled subsidy fades from sight and
the superior good fortune of the Northern
Pacific in getting more land and less of cash
stands out in commanding view.
Time will only emphasize this advantage.

ANOTHER historic spot has been given
to the keeping of Montana. In future
years, as the crowded, bustling trains sweep
around the curves of the Missoula river,
thousands upon thousands of curious eyes
will gaze upon the place where the ends
of the Northern Pacific track were united
and the East and West were happily we'd
ded in union that shall last while grass
grows and water flows" The golden spike
they will look for in vain, but each year
will witness new fruits ofthis happy union,
and in years to come old men will relate
with pride that they were witnesses and
marriage guests at these happy nuptials.

IT will take many days and would fill
many columns of the largest metropoli-
tan papers to give all the notable speeches
of this days great celebration, but we may
be sure that among the numerous press
present there will be an
ample harvest gathered, and when all are
printed they will make an interesting and
collection. Some enterprising
collector will surely do this very thing,
unless he is anticipated by President
Willard and the far-seeing liberality of his
great corporation, seeking thus to crown
their bounty with such durable and ap-
souvenir of their glorious birth
day.

Policy and Principles.

There is no installing the fact that
the outlook for Democratic success next
year is so reasonably hopeful that it re-
ouires no prophetic eye to discern the
promised land through the haze and
mist which yet intervenes. A long
lease of power, much longer than the
Republican party has deserved or eX-
pected to hold, has led to so much pub
lie abuse and filled the land with so
much concern for its future welfare,
that good people of both parties, men
who place their patriotism above mere
party preference, are preparing to de-
sert it for better order of things.
1t might, however, be well for our
party leaders to understand that be-
cause there is an evident turning toward
Democracy and Democratic principles
in all parts of the country, it does not
necessarily show that these new re-
cruits will all be found acting with the
Democratic party at the polls simply
because they are at present disguised
with their own. There are conditions
which will precede such active cooper
alton, and it is to the consideration of
these conditions that we wish to address
those who may be prominent in party
councils, or have within their power
the direction of party issues. 1t has
been charged against the Democratic
party that its genius for laundering was
something wonderful. 1t is not fiatter-
ing to ones self-esteem to admit unpal-
stable truths, but that there is much in
tais assertion of our enemies, no one &C
quainted with the past history of the
party need stop to deny. We have been
caught in follies and have made
plumbers, and it is the knowledge of this
which leads us now to raise the voice
of warning that the very promising
future now before us may not prove to
be illusory and delusive.
Notwithstanding that the Republican
party has been loaded down with rec
ord confessedly bad, and has gone into
The past two campaigns with the chances
very much against them, it has hao
