TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH IS.
The Mayors Address.

Mayor behring's address has these merits:
it Is brief and it is business-like. He con-
lines himself to. the discussion of city AFFAIRS
AS to the wisdom of some of his recommen-
dations there will be differences OF opinion.
Throughout the address runs the Colonel
Sellers idea of 'the old flag and an apprc-
priation.o The Mayor fears the fires OF pa
triotism will die out unless big outlay for
amusements be made on Independence Day.
To proper outlay no objections will be
made. He wants band-stands in Deering' s
Oaks. The probability is that the city GOV
eminent will make music enough this year.
Perhaps it would be we'll to hold its monthly
meetings under the leafy dome. Concerts
in the Oaks may do very we'll for the people
who keep carriages but are of little avail to
those of us who have to trudge on foot over
mile Of dusty highway. The mention Of
the police will be received with smile. Our
Citizens have not forgotten the stand Alder
man Deering took when charges of ineffic-
iency and INSTRUMENTATION were last pre-
ferred against members of the force. The

idly as can be reasonably expected, and un-
less large unnecessary appropriations be
made the rate of taxation can be further re.

but 1t ought not to considerably increase it
expenditures until its debts are paid. Tha

THE London Spectator has been digging
after the origin of sundry popular sayings,
and has come to certain conclusions which
the New York Tribune regards as mistaken.
For instance, the expression, "After us the
deluge," ascribed to Madame De Stael, is
said by the New York contemporary to be
evidently borrowed from a recent expression
Of Murat Halstead's when the Ohio river
had reached an elevation of 63 feet and was
rising at the rate of an inch an hour. What
the Cincinnati editor said was, ''The deluge
10 after u.s." Another mistake is in putting
the remark, 81 imagined it was difficult to
de-" into the mouth of Louis XIV, when
treaty belongs in the platform of the
Greenback party of the United States,
"Fold UP the map of Europe" according to
the same authority, was not said by William
Pitt to his secretary, but by G. M. Depew t.
a map-peddler who bothered him to buy (
copy of brand-new European map.

Mr.. HAYES, late president of the tariff
commission, says of the new tariff bill, 81
think it is blessing, because the Democrats
would have given us something a good deal
worse. There are, of course, many flaws in
the bill. think it strikes death blow at
the steel rod interest, and crucible steel is
badly hurt, but, then, it is not killed like
steel rods. The greatest fault of the bill is
the neglect to build up tin plate industry
in this country. By this bill the industry is
turned over to England. Another great
fault in the bill is striking from it the pro-
visions for customs court. The wool men
are grumbling, but the bill is great bless
ing to them, because were this rate not es-
tablished the Democrats would give them
an ad valorem duty, which would ruin our
wool growers. think they ought to be
happy, and they will find in the end they
are not crippled as they believe now.'

Yesterday Maj. Geo. A. Caup, who
has Just returned from an extended trip
over the line of the Canadian Pacific
railway, was called upon for informa-
tion in regard to the present condition
of the enterprise and the plans Of the
company for the future. This course
was considered the most feasible fer
obtaining facts, because Mai. Camp il
known TO be intimately connected with
the road in q business way, and his at
terances can, therefore, be regarded as
emanating from a seini-official source.
In answer to questions in regard TO the
trip, the Major touched upon a number
of matters of interest, which may be
grouped together as follows:
Maj. Camps journey was two weeks
in duration, and iRcluded the entire
length of the constructed line Of the Ca
madam Pacific, and two miles beyond
the summit of what is known as the
Kicking Horse Pass, $50 miles west of
winnipeg. He reports the road COM
plsted to point within forty miles of
the summit. or go miles west of Winni
peg. Track is being laid at the rate of
from enc mile and half to two miles
per day. The road bed is practically
graded to the summit. and the track
will be laid TO point i've miles distant
from the summit of Kicking Horse Pass
this season. Owing to the discovery of
what is believed TO be a more desirable
route-farther up the Bow River and
through Howe's Pass-the grading will
not be prosecuted nearer than within
five miles of the summit this fall. Mr..
Hogg, the division engineer, having
been over the new route. pr0nOunces il
much more desirable than that via
Kicking Horse. All of the engineers
have been placed on the latter route for
the purpose of ascsrtainine which is the
best to follow, and il is expected that
they will be able to submit definite re-
port to the company before the 1st of
February next.
The work of construction will then be
renewed as soon as the frost will permit
in the spring, all reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. At least, such was
ths intention of the COMPANY when
Major Camp left the summit, and upon
his return TO Minneapolis he found q
telegraphic order for 5O0,000 feet of
timber, none of which will be required
this fall, but which the company wishes
to get through to the end OF the track
during the fall and winter, SO as to be
ready for early work in the spring.
When leaving the summit Major Camp
bade adieu to Engineer Hegg and Mr..
koss, general manager of construction
ON the Canadian Pacific, as they were
going down the pass, with the intention
of making an examination Of the
route next to the Columbia river,
aud il found practicable, a. they
anticipated, it will undoubtedly be
adopted instead of the Kicking Horse
or Howe's pass. This new route will be
about thirty miles longer than by the
passes above mentioned, bat by cutting
out tunnel from mile to mile and
half in length, ii can be reduced to
nearly the same distance az that first
selected by the engineers.
