OF the opinion Vanderbilt will not care to
take advantage to such AN extent as to en-
force the sale of Gen. Grants personal eff
feets. Aside from that, however. it has
seemed to me that Vanderbilt
may be acting for Gen. Grants
benefit. Having a preferred claim to
Gen. Grants property, he may execute the
law and obtain possession, aud return il
subsequently, simply to prevent some claim
ants who come after from securing Gen.
Grants effects. So we had better wait and
see if things are in as bad shape as reported.
No doubt the effort for relief will prove sue
cessful. Gen. Grant is national property
and the nation takes pride in the honor he
bad received. II congress is unwilling to
place him on the retired list of the army, let

entire east end of the works were in flames.

CANADIAN TERRITORIAL AGITATION

There is no little excitement and earnest
interest manifested in several of the Cam
adian Provinces to secure the concession of
certain rights and privileges from the moth
er country, and from the Dominion govern
ment. The Saskatchewan Herald, of Dec.
IL, indicates the spirit of unrest that prevails
among a large portion of the population.
Representation in Parliament which is, as
yet. denied, is prime urgency, upon which
there is nearly unanimous sentiment. This
revives the memory of the contest of the
American colonies with the government of
the mother country. One of the leading top
les of complaint and resistance was, ''tax-
alton without representation" The colonies
rebelled against the levying of taxes upon
them by legislative body-the parliament
in which they were not represented, prin-
ciple now everywhere conceded to be found
de in the strictest justice, but then denied.
This was not the only grievance, though the
leading one, alleged by the old patriots, as
explicitly portrayed in the Declaration Of
Independence. The stubborn obstinacy of
the King, encouraged by the illiberality,
oblquity and fatal blindness of his Prime
Minister, Lord North, lost to Great Britain
an Empire. After resistance TO taxation
without representation had produced univer-
sal and alarming disturbance in the colonies,
Lord North as an act Of concession introduced
bill repeating all recently imposed duties
on the American colonies, excepting the duty
on tea, making that exception as a declara-
ton of the principle, that the government
had rfcrbf IN inns a. .-te1
tation. This tyranical assertion of despo-
tic principle, led to resistance and revolt, and
as an incipient movement Of revolution the
waters OF Boston harbor were blsckened by
floating chests Of tea thrown overheard by

A GERMAN newspaper compares the pres
ent position Of the German Empire 10 a
damn on a volcano, aud this as aptly ap-
plies to all the old world governmental sys-
TENS as well. Unrest, uneasness, and the
spirit of diabolism everywhere prevails. Even
England is in fret Of loose aggregatious.
She tires Of her old Queen, and her senile &C.
centrlcities are unpalatable. As she refus-
es 10 die, they are impatient for a vacancy
on The throne, and propose to have the good
old lady abdicate in favor Of her "fast'i son
the Prince of Wales, or at least to establish
him in a Regency. Perhaps the ambitious
Prince is tired of waiting for the throne, and
is anxiDds for, and conniving at the setting
aside Of his mother. Considering the Prince
ly or unprincely defects Of the Heir Appar-
ent, England had better go slow. Better TO
endure the ills they have than fly TO other S
that they know not of.

MILLING IN TRANSIT.
The Northwestern Traffic Association
Discusses the Matter Without
Action
Especial Telegram to the Glebe.l

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-An important meet
ing of general managers of the Northwestern
Traffic association was held to-day at Com.
missioner Carman's Office. The prineipa
topic under consideration was the milling il
transit bugbear, which has been disturbing
the serenity of the pool for several months.
It will be remembered that this matter wal
conspicuous as a disturbing element
about three or four months ago. II
was and still is common
practice to take wheat from Minneapolis to
some local station this side for milling. The
wheat is billed at full tariff rate from Mime
apolis to Chicago. About two cents per
hundred pounds is charged for transit and
the product is then transported to Chicago
free Of charge. 1t IS understood that all
roads between Chicago aud St. Paul have
followed this custom, and all but the Mil
Waukee & st. Paul have been anxious
to introduce this business in the pool. The
st. Paul objects for the reason that it has
more mills along its line than any of its
competitors and consequently handles more
OF the traffic in question than the others.
When the present pool was formed upon the
Manager Miller, of the st. Paul, stated en-
phatically that he would not agree to include
this business in the pool. About four
months ago the matter came
up and was finally referred
to Arbitrator Bogue. He decided that the
traffic in question was competitive and
should be pooled. The st. Paul people would
not comply with the decision and the matter
has hung along until the present time At
to-day's meeting the st. Paul representatives
reafiirmed their position and nothing could
be done. The matter was finally referred 70,
settlement to Mr.. Miller, of the St. Paul
MIR. Potter, Of the Burlington, and Mr.
Hughitt, of the Northwestern. After dispos
ing of a few minor matters referred by the
general freight agents, an adjournment wal
taken subject to call
