The old Hudson Bay company never
had any trouble with Indians, and they
were practically a government. But
why? Because they did exactly what
they promised in every instance with

to know that they are in want! that
they are actually dying by hundreds

An Electric Railroad.

Cleveland dispatch 25th The first
commercially successful electric rail-
road in America was started in opera
tion in this city to-day by the East
Cleveland Street Railroad company,
who have just completed mile Of
road, and run cars OH 1t to-day for the
first time. The experiment was SO
successful that the company expects
to change it's entire system, compris-
ing over twenty miles, into electric
railroads. The system used was Z:
combination Of the Brush, Knight and
Bentley systems, and the current was
carried on underground conductors and
in conducts like those of /. cable road.
The cars were started or stopped with
the greatest ease and without the dis
agreeable jerking incident to cable and
horse roads. The economy is claimed
to be greater than that Of cable roads.
and the cost Of construction less than
one-third rs great. Any Dumber OF
cars can be run up to fif.een and can
he run ut one time on single circuit,
anil from one machine, which is Il re-
suit not attained by any Of the Eu-
ropean systems now in operation. The
success Of the new road has made a
great sensation in both street railroad
and electrical circles, and is expected
to greatly extend the field of electrical
development rs we'll rs enhance the
value Of street railroad properties.

Florence Nightingale contributes to
the New York Herald letter about
cholera. She believes that the disease
is not communicable from person to
person; that the sick do not manufac-
ture a special poison which causes the
disease: that it is local disease, an ep-
idemic affecting localities, and there de-
pending on pollution of earth, air, and
water and buildings; that the isolation
of the sick cannot stop the disease. nor
quarantine, nor cordons, nor the like
these, indeed, may tend fatally to ag-
gravate the disease, directly and indi-
directly, by turning away our attention
from the only measures which can stop
it; and that the only preventive is to
put the earth, air and water and build
ings into healthy state of scavenging,
ime-washing and every kind Of sani-
tary work, and, if cholera does come, to
move the people from the places where
the disease has broken out and then to
cleanse.

In urging the importance of d1versi-
fed farming, the raisiAg of hogs, cat
tie, horses and many other things now
somewhat neglected in the wheat re-
gions, an eastern paper says there are
those In active life who can remember
when Genessee county, New York,
furnished the popular brands of -four,
Minneapolis does to-day. The "Gene-
see country" was the synonym for
wheat culture. Rochester was the
great milling centre. Now the State
Of New York, agriculturally speaking,
is given up to dairy farming and inten-
sive culture. The same may be said
substantially of Ohio. Everywhere it
is found that reliance upon given
crop is, in the long run, unsatisfactory.
Ii the wheat crop fails, or the price is
low, the farmer would like to fall back
upon some other product, there always
being demand for some product or
products at remunerative rates.

President Hill of the Manitoba rail
road, has expended $780, 900 in placing
one or two thoroughbred bulls in each
county through which his road passes,
and advocates stock-raising by farmers
in connections with wheat and other
drops, as vastly more beneficial and
profitable than exclusive wheat raising.
He thinks the big farms, or big wheat
fields, would be more profitable, if cut
up into farms of 100 or 800 acres each
that it would be better for the rail-
roads-and in this view he is sustained
by the concurrent testimony of nearly
all who have investigated the subject.
1t is probable that the change will be
made ere long, as some of the holders
of the big wheat fields are of the same
opinion.

A negro was hanged in New York
last week for the murder of two per-
sons committed more than a year and
a half ago. His life had been pro-
longed by the ingenious devices of
lawyers, though no doubt was enter
tanned Of his guilt. Whatever good in
fuence the hanging of murderer, pro-
perly consequent upon his crime,
might have exerted in this case, was
thrown away in the long interval that
was allowed to elapse since the murder
was committed, for the papers say that
the hateful ruffian was lost sight of, or
became quite an interesting citizen, to
save whose soul pious friends entered
into competition, and to nurture whose
physical body the ingenuity of wom-
ankind was set in motion. For months
the wretched negro had been one of

People interested in fast trotters have
been excited by the recent exploits Of
Jay Eye-See and Maud s., owned by
William A. Vanderbilt. At Narragan-
set Park, near Providence, Jay Eye-See
trotted mile in the marvellous time of
2:10 reducing the record one quarter OF
second from the best previous time OF
2:1Ot made by Maud s. This was q
triumph indeed, but Maud s still heads
the list of trotters, her .laurels as the
fastest trotter on earth having been worn
but "a hours by her most dangerous
competitor, Jay-Eye- See. The next
day at Cleveland in the presence Of ct
least 5000 people Maud s. managed
not only to lower ner own record Of
2:104, but to wipe out as "the
best record, that Of Jay Eye See made
at Providence yesterday, by trotting q
mile in 1904. There isno disputing
che record of performance as unex-
pected as it was unprecedented. To add
to the credit Of the performance is the
fact that the mile was trotted without
q skip or break, and the mare had no
companion IN the way Of . runner to
urge her on, an assistance which Jay
Eye-See enjoyed at Providence. In
view Of the gradual shortening Of time
since Flora Temple astonished the
world by making . mile in 2:19, il
is not deemed hazardous to predict
that within ten years trotter will be
produced which viii make mile in
two minutes.

The latest estimates of the grain crops
Of Minnesota are very encouraging. 1t
is estimated that the wheat yield in that
State for this year will exceed that of
last year by 4,11e,OOO bushels, an in
crease of 10 per cent. ; the corn crop will
yield from 20, 600, 900 to %, OO0, 900 BUSH
els; the barley crop will produce 7,0O0,-
900 bushels, the largest ever known in
the State, and the oats crop will be
about 35,6OO,0O0 bushels, 10 per cent.
more than the crop of 1883. There is
probably some exaggeration especially
in regard to barley, and no allowance is
made for the perils preceding and in
cident to the harvesting season, but on
tn whole the prospect is good.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Annual Meeting Of the National Associa.
ton, With an address by George vii.
Liam Curtis.
The fourth annual meeting Of the National
Civil Service association was held at New York.
George William Curtis delivered the opening
address.
Mr.. Curtis gave lengthy review Of civil
service reform Legislation in congress from the
time the subject first claimed popular attention
until the defeat, at the last session, Of the bill
to repeal the four-year tenure Of Office act
He then referred to the civil service law passed
by the New York legislature, and enumerated
and explained its provisions. Mr. Curtis high
ly commended the work of the
present civil service commission,
and praised President Arthur's
course in regard to this branch of government
al reform. The speaker then urged to COM
pletion the repeal Of the four-year-law, and
reform in methods of administration which
has ever been proposed in the country, q re-

innate party action, destroying the moral au-
thority of elections, demoralizing the public con-
science, degrading official character, excluding
able and upright men from public life and
disgracing the American name has been begun
and has thus far effectively accomplished,
not by party but by patriotism, by men in Office
and out of Office, of different political conven7
tons strongly attached to different parties,
anticipating political careers, yet cooperating
with sincerity and enthusiasm not as Repub-
licans, not as Democrats, but solely as Ameri-
cans; before all, proud of their country; above
ali, resolved that the national name should be
unstained and national politics raised to con-
troversies Of principle and policy. In all the
proceedings OF our associations and of this
league, in all our appeals and arguments,
there has been no word and no thought
of party Both houses of congress passed
the national reform bill with
practical party unanimity. A democratic legis-
lature in New York, republican legislature in
Massachusetts,, passed state reform bill, q
Republican president, Democratic governor

fective executive agents in enforcing the re-
