Competition for tho European wheat
#.' O.. .m Market.

It has been said that India will soon be
acompetilor Of the United States in the
wheat market OF tho old world. An ex.
change commenting Oh this assertion says
It does not think there 10 ground for appre'
hension that in the lifetime Of the present
generation the American whea. market
viii! fail 10 command tho European market
asainat all new corners. Competition Is
much more threatening near ut home than
/, Russia, India. Austria or the Argentine
republic. A free land grant Of 10000 Q
acres has been secured for the company
which proposesto build a railroad between
Winnipeg and lIudsou's Bay, and large
subscriptions have been made to Ito cap.
ital stock. From a Canadian journal It Is
learned that the proposed railroad will
be 572 miles long and that Its
terminuB on IIudaou's Bay. Port Mel.
SOD, Is $50 milea nearer 10 Liverpool
than Montreal. 1t is stated that such q
route will save 1000 miles OF railway car.
risgo in the transportation Of grain from
the Saskatchewan Valley to Liverpool.
Considering the valuable timber forests and
the rich mineral and agricultural country
through which the railroad would plss,
aud the splendid water facilities Of Nelson
River, which is even larger than the st.
Lawrence, there ought to be little doubt as
to the future success Of such Oh outlet 10
the Canadian Northwest. The only thing
that had seemed to stand in the way wss
the ice, but, according to last reports, Hud.
sons Bay is open all the year, tho tides
prevent the straits from freezing, and the
contrary currents keep the icebergs from
entering the straits.
III such a northern route is feasible, it
not only opens up as Ane q wheat-raising
area in the Dominion as there is in the
United States, but it also makes n short
cut for the wheat growers Of Dakota, and
even Northern Minnesota, to lay their grain
down in Liverpool. E
The vast ranges Of land in the United
States which are falling into single hands,
the rapid development OF labor-savipg agri.
cultural machinery, and cheap t%ransporta.
ton, threaten to take the wheat.growing
business entirely out Of the hands OF small
farmers. These immense areas OF land arc
by no means solely in the hands oil rail.
road companies and American owners. A
recent statement in Congress shows that
the title OF imperial possessions has gone
into the hands OF foreigners. Over twenty
million acres have been disposed Of to
foreigners. In the State Of Texas two
English syndicstes own between them
over seven million acres. The Canadian
wheat lands will in all probability be COB.

Campaign Carols.

There is a great deal in name, after all,
especially during a political campaign.
This conclusion is proved by the fact that
there are now l25 Blaine and Logan songs
and only 90 for Cleveland and Hendricks.
The number of songs composed in honor Of
any pair of Residential candidates is no
criterion of their popularity, On the con-
trary, too much of a good thing is some
times an Aggravsting superiority. It's safe
to say that had the names of the Democra-
tic candidates been Jones and Brown there
would have been written more songs then
there are voters. A campaign poet is to be

THE ORIGINAL PAT MALLoY.
The First Man to Help Build One of the
Greatest Roads In the Country.
Io,,;,r;H. C,1anaerciaL

The First Man to Help Build One OF the
Greatest Roads In the Country.
LoUiTriHe Commercial,
Pat Malloy, the man who drove the first
spike on the Louisville and Nashville Rail,
road, along in the early SOS, was found
dead in his bed at his home on Eleventh
Street, near Maple. Until recently he was
not recognized as the historic Pat Malloy,
of which the world has heard so much. MIR.
Malloy came from Ireland and arrived IN
Louisville by steamer in 1850, and made
his living by hard labor He was the first
man to stick spade into the big hill where
the corners of Ninth and Broadway now are,
and it is known that he was the first man
to carry a gauge on the construction of what
is now one OF the greatest railroads in the
world.
His disposition was one of the most jovial
kind, and he was always ready with an end
less variety Of wit consequently his pOpu'
larity was unlimited. He gloried in being
an Irishman all over, and was never known
to grunt about his work. Following close
upon the war, Colonel Rowland ordered that
Pat Malloy be brought in off the hot road
bed and located at an easier and more com
Portable position in the freight handling de
partment, and this place he has held unin-
terruptedly since then. Charley Ward, the
late lamented song-writer and composer
some years ago made a humorous Irish song
entitled pat Malloy," in honor of this man
and everybody knows what an unqualified
success it was.

An Unfortunate Book Agent.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger.

Yesterday morning as Mr.. E. o. Cheves,
a book agent, was passing on the sidewalk
in front of the Academy of Music, brick
fell from the scaffold near the top of the
building and struck the ferrule Of the open
umbrella in Mr.. Cheves hand. The brick
came with such force as to drive the handle
through his hand. One of the ribs was
broken and the force of the brick pushed il
through Mr.. Cheyes' ear. The workmen in
the academy rushed out and pulled the rib
from the ear.
