A Rich Corporation.

The Canadian Pacific Railway
company is one of the richest cOrpOr-
ations in the world. 1t started out
with grant of 756 miles of road
built and in operation another grant
of $25, ,0O0, 900 acres of land, sad to be
worth an average of S. per acre, and
q government guarantee of the clear
gilt of $25, 600, 900, to be paid in in
stallments, SO much upon the COM
pletiOn OF each section of twenty
miles. Its charter eXempts the road
equipment and capital stock from
taxes forever, ana it has free right of
way, with all the materials for con-
struction and equipment free from
duty. The whole mileage to be built
by the company is less than 24UO
miles. The eastern half of it will
cost more than Sis 900 mile, or SIS,
OOO, ,OeO. The western half, including
passage through two ranges Of noun
tains, may cost an average of $35, 900
a mile, or $42, 600, 900; a total proba-
BILE cost of $50, ,OOO, 900, of which the
government pays Sc, ,OOO, 900, leaving
for the company $35 900, 900, which
100000 acres of their land grant
from Winnipeg westward will pay.
They will then have left their entire
capital stock and lS,OOO,000 acres of
land for the construction of eonnec-
tions and branches and equipment
and for the creation of connecting
lines of steamships from Montreal to
Europe at the east, and from Port
Moody with Australia China and
San Francisco at the west. A COM
pany so rich in funds aud exempt
from all taxes forever, with so large
surplus, ought to become y regulator
of all the other trans-cOntlrental
railways and force them into reason

The Other Sort Of swindler.

There were six or eigh. of Us in th'
smoking car as the train was run
ming down to West Point from At
lanta, and everying WINS lovely unit
the seventh man got on at small
station. He had no sooner entered
the car than he looked fixedly at the
man who had been telling US snake
stories, and directly he walked up to
nim and called out 4H
"Ah! you internal swindler, I've
found you at last!'
"Wh0's swindler?"
"You are!"
II never saw you before!"
"You're q liar, and Pm going to
pound SIS worth of cash out Of yOu!'
1t was presently discovered that he
recognized the snake story man as a
fruit tree agent who had sold him
some grape vines which did not show
up. and he was shifting on his hands
and making ready to do the pound
ing, when the other remarked:
"My dear fellow, insist upon it
that you are mistaken. was never
in the frult-treo business. and I never
you out of $l8."
II say you did"
"Never Instead of swindling
you out of SIS on grape vines, am
the man who charged you SIG too
much for q sewing machine, and
here's your money"
''Well, now, come to look more
closely At you, I believe your right
said the seventh man.
"Of course I'm right" growled the
other, as he counted out the money,
''and wal, N you to be little more
careful in future. I have a reputa-
lion to sustain. and grape vine
,windles are not in my line. Here's
your SIG, and now think you ought

Dakota Described.

A I>akota editor gets indignant
over the failure of the admission of
that territory as state, and expresses
himself as follows:
dakota has been placed in the
attitude of 3 professional beggar,
shining around in dirty lobbies,
pleading and whining for her own
tnalienable constitutional rights. I
am tired of the whole business, and I
think our duty now is simply to in
vite congress to 60 to the devil, and
set up Independently on our own
hook. Dakota has domain enough,
resources enough, material advan-
tages of soil, climate and mineral
wealth enough, to make an empire
herself. She ought to hang the first
fellow who goes, or proposes to 60, to
Washington on any begging expedi-
ton. With more territory than
New England, New York, New
Jersey, and half of Pennsylvania
combined /; with more population
than New Hampshire, Vermont,
Delaware, Florida, aud Nevada
with more daily papers than any
three southern state sPut toge ther,
and with more general intelligence
among her people than is to be found
in all the professional politicians of
both parties at Warrington, she has
within herself everything necessary
for a glorious home land."
