PoolxProspects Bright.

Special Telegram 10 the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-The eastern pool pros
poets are brighter now than they have been
for many months, the most important
obstacle against its successful operation be-
ing in fair way of being removed, when
rates have been maintained at all other
western pooling points Peoria roads have
persisted in cutting so that there has been
but q temporary maintenance OF tariff at any
time for year. Commissioner Fink has of
late been directing untiring effort toward
bringing the Peoria roads into line and
has at last succeeded. To-day
Joint Agent Moore received a
telegram from Fink with the intelligence that
the general managers of Peoria eastbound
roads had signified willingness to main
tain rates and to unite upon the formation
Of pool of eastbOund business. The roads
which will be parties to the pools are the In
diana, Bloomington & Western, the Wabash,
Rock Island Illinois, Midland, Peoria,
Decatur and Evansville and Chicago
Pekin s. Southwestern. At Chicago, ST.
Louis and Indianapolis rates are being rea-
sonably maintained, and now that the Peoria
trouble is practically over, the pool can start
once more on a satisfactory basis.

CANADIAN BUDGET SPEECH.
Tilley Shows the Condition of the Coun.
try, and the Depression
of Trade,

OTTAWA, Feb. 29.-In his speech, Tilley
said that, while the credit and finan-
cial condition of Canada never stood
better than to-day, it was true the
state of trade was unsatisfactory. A
depression prevailed, which had been
produced by the decline of the
lumber exports and the over importa-
ton, which has been over the importation BY
five million of last year, and the country was
now feeling the result of that over importa-
ton. Besides this, the prices of large mum
Der of these articles imported had fallen. He
expected to receive a revenue for the current
year of 1872, 200, 600, and the total eXpendi-
ture for the current year is estimated at
S31, 200,0 00 During the past year the new
sugar tariff had come into force
in the United States which affected the sugar
trade here. 1t was decided, that while the
duty now collected on sugars from all coun-
tries was 80 per cent. including the charge
and packages, it was now proposed to reduce
the duty to 2712 per cent. free on board at
the port of shipment.
Cartwright, the finance minister in the
Mckenzie government followed, dealing
with Tilley's statement point by point. He
claimed that one-nalf of Tilley's speech was
devoted to proving that there was no de-
preston, and the other half in assigning the
causes for the depression, which were known
to exist. Since confederation, the popula-
ton of Canada has increased about 1000
900, while the annual volume of taxation in
creased s22, 100000 The taxation has in
creased from 81 to 50 per head of the pop

THE proposition of The house committee
to forfeit 2 portion of the land grant of the
Northern Pacific, because the road was not
completed within specified time, is so mani

have no idea it will be ratified by
either branch of congress. The object of
the grant was to secure the completion of
the road. Because this was DELAYED.
by financial reverses which swept
through the country, the men who have
furnished the means to carry it to success,
should not be punished. A great
line of railroad has been completed
and millions of acres of land which were ut
terly worthless, and might have SO remained
for hundred years, were made accessible and
valuable. Every principle of equity and
honesty demands that no advantage should
be taken of a corporation that has labored in
good faith to fulfil its contract. In
regard to the unearned grants upon branch
lines congress NAV be able, legally, to declare
them forfeited, but it will be short sighted
policy if this is done. What is the landin all
that region worth to the government or to
any one without the ability to reach it?
A six pence an acre would
be dear price under such circumstances.
The grants give value to what remains to a
far greater extent than any value which could
accrue to the government if the branch line

SOME of the Democrats who were disgrun-
tied because Chicago carried off the national
convention, are expressing fear lest people
Will get things mixed because there will be
two Chicago platforms. This is a most stu
pid objection. The place where a convention
is held has no connection with the platform
made by the convention. To a person with
average common sense it would appear that
the platform adopted by the convention,
which meets June 3rd, might be styled the
Republican platform, and the platform adopt
ed by the convention, which assemblies July
8th, might be styled the Democratic platform
The GLOBE suggests these designations as a
compromise for the benefit of members of
both parties, who take their whisky so
straight as not to be able to distinguish one
platform from the other, because both con-
yentons meet in the same city.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 29-The federal
court this afternoon granted the application
of the railway companies of the state, for an
injunction to restrain the railway commission
from interference with their business, under
the act of the legislature, which vests the
the commission with the supervision of rail
way operations in Tennessee. Elaborate
written opinions were delivered Dv Circuit
Judge Bailey and District judge hammond
District Judge Key, concurring. They held
that the act of the legislature creating the
railroad commission, conflicts with the article
of the state constitution, and also with the
amendments the Constitution of the United

GROTER CLETEL-IND.

The public viii learn with some surprise
that Gov. Grover Cleveland of New York re-
CARDS himself not only as possibility but as
probability in the presidential contest. He
evidently regards his election as governor by
1872, 900 as proof of his personal strength and
popularity.
This is a gross mistake. Gov Cleveland's
majority was the outgrowth of a quarrel
among the republican leaders and desire to
rebuke the national administration. The
Governors vanity has a very unsound basis
Any honorable, reputable man would have re-
ceived similar majority at that time.
The most striking evidence that Gov
Cleveland is not strong and popular man
personally, is offered by the fact that notwith-
standing his great majority, after he had
been in office one year, the Republicans sub
stcntially carried the state. 1t could at least
be counted drawn battle with the Republi-
cans eecting the head of the ticket and the
Democrats the tail. All of the great majority,
approximating 200,0 900, was frittered away in
one year.
Under such circumstances it is presumng
a great deal for Gov. Cleveland to even
dream of being a candidate, and when he
attempts to use his Office to secure delega-
ton from New York to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, he is doing exactly what
the people of New York undertook to rebuke
when they gave him $4,000 ma
jority. That vote was revolt
against machine politics and bossism,
but the man who profted for it is now build
ing machine to be run by his personal adj
vancement.
There are men, who, if they come to the
Democratic National convention with the
delegation from New York, would be reason
| ably certain to secure the nomination. but
Gov. Cleveland is not one of them. If the
Democrats nominate a man from New
York for president, they will Sc
lect some one who can carry the state.
Gov. Cleveland has demonstrated that he
can wipe out majority 1872, 900 in one year of
his state administration, which is not cheerful
| record for presidential nominee. Instead
of harmonizing the quarrels which have rent
| the New York Democracy for so many years,
they no sooner unite upon him than he
| again divides the factions, and the last con-
dition is worse than the first.
If Gov. Cleveland is wise he will not fur
ther disturb the pivotal State of New York
| by asking a delegation to the Democratic
National convention. Having made politi-
cal failure of his State administration, the
| National Democracy will not consider him
| for a moment. His nomination would be
! equivalent to slrrendering before the battle
begins, for it would be an acknow-
Judgement that they, did not hope to carry
| New York.
The voice of New York, if cast for citi-
zen of its own state, who can ensure the
electoral vote for the Democratic ticket, would
be potential and well-nigh decisive, but if
Gov. Cleveland should be able to so manipu-
late the machine as to secure the delegation,
New York will be cipherin the convention.

The SqIIdbbie Orel' n Name.

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-The publication yes
terday of Commissioner Winnings acrimoni-
Gus circular relative to the use of the name,
California fast freight line," created con
siderable talk in railroad circles. The Bur
lington people maintain that they only have
the right to use the name, from the fact
that they first announced its adoption by
them after it was dropped at the dissolution
of the Iowa Trunk Line association. Com
missioner Midgely, of the late Iowa pool,
said emphatically that the Burlington had
just as much right to use the title
as any other member of the old
pool 1t, with Rock Island and Northwestern,
was charter member of the Iowa pool and
certainly had greater right to use the name
than did the st. Paul or Wabash. The gen
eral sentiment is that the Western Trunk
Line association has attempted to monopo-
lie what outside roads have an equal right to
claim as their property.

ROSECRANS' INTEGRITY.
A Personal Attack on the Distinguish
ed General by Mr.. White,
Who Accuses Him of Dishonesty Taking up
Many Acres of California Land.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.-John D. White,
of Kentucky, caused some excitement in the
house to-day by making charge against the
personal integrity of General ROsecrans. The
bin restoring Gen. Alfred Pleasanton to the
army and placing him upon the
retired list as a colonel had been debated a
long time and with much warmth by friends
and enemies of bill. Gen. Roscrans
had himself taken q deep interest in
Gen Pleasanton's appeal for relief and
had incidentally received highly compli-
mentary mention as a faithful and renowned
general. The bill was not made party
question. While Mr.. White was
delivering TRADE against the
bill and criticising Pleasanton,
Rosecrans happened to pass, and in low
tone. asked, ''How could he form an opin-
ion. as he did no fighting and was safe in
the rear?'' Mr. White turned angrily
and replied by asking him how
about those lands in California
thousands of acres of which he had dishonest
" taken up, and which should have been
subject to settlement by soldiers under the
homestead law. ROsecrans had gone
out without hearing Whites reply, but
when Curtis and Blount told him he re-
turned along the middle aisle to within a few
feet of White and demaeded that White re-
neat his remarks as he (Rosecrans) had not
heard them White refused The
general again demanded, with some
excitement, that he repeat what he said on
the floor where he can be held responsible.
White replied that he was perfectly rcspon-
sible,'' and referred Rosecrans to the record.
No further attention was given the
affair during the session, but it is
expected that it will be made a question Of
personal privilege tomorrow. The commit
tee made favorable report ON Pleasonton';
bill, restoring him to the grade of colone
instead of bigadier general and it is certain
to pass by large majority.
