The Future of Canada.

Not until the east and west shores of British North America are connected will Canadians and Englishmen thor oughly appreciate the capacities of the dominion. The era of blooms" will soon set in in Canada if it has not set in already. Mighty railways, like the Pacific lines of America do for 6 cour- try in few years or even months what a century of creaking wagons will fail to do Towns and tillage appear as if by fairy bidding. As the road hears completion the enthusiasm of the work CTS grows apace. The sight of the Pa citic will be a tonic aS invigOrating as was the sight of the sea tO the ten thou sand. When the three thousand miles of line are finished the progress of the Dominion will have assumed another phase. That Canada has a great future in store no one doubts. The Dominion has it's wiidernesses, but they are far less frequent than its Oases- The se- we're cold in winter. which ia the only drawba to the rich lands of ManitO- ba, should create a hardy race of men. unless experience cOntradicts itself. With inexhaustible cereal and mineral wealth. the Canadian northwest is at that happy state of sOcisi development when there is land enough for every body. when labor is highly paid and when it is not worth a mans life to be lazy. It is the golden age of a country about which it cannot make too much while it lasts. But, just as children are impatient tO become men.a country is ashamed of its childhood and hastens to reach maturity. The Dominion is anxious to fill large place in the eye of the world. and one may safely prophecy it's success. Given a vast and rich country. with an energetic popula- ton communicating its energy ;o every settler who sets foot on its shores, and Q railway traversing the land from one end to the other, nothing short of the superhuman would seem able to stop the Dominion from a career of pros perity.-LOHdOH Times.

The MormOns in Arizona.

During the past summer 2OOO Nor mons have crossed over into ArIzona, so that now we have about 5000 of these outlaws i.l our Territory. They have all taken up Government land. They locate in colonies" anl in many wards and precincts hol1 the balance of power and elect their justices of the peace. These are but the advance Of the hordes that are to follow. Immigration ia coming in from Europe to such an extent that Utah can not hold them all, and they must seek other fields and more desirable government lands. Their next step, when their numbers have ln- creased, will be to control some of the county elections, and to have voice m the selection of the Territorial Delegate, as they now have in Idaho and Mon, tana. Next spring, when the usual exodus from Utah to Arizona begins, 1t would not surprise me if trouble oc- curred. We can stand the Chinese but not Mormon polygamists.-Col. H. A. Percy, in \. '.

HE decline in the market price of lead and silver is 8 serious matter to the miners ot Arizona. They, however, do 70: feel it so severely as those portions q Colorado where low grade lead ores E'eiominate and drop of a few cents n Irlce Is fatal to the workings of their hines. This decline will cause suspeD- son Of work upon many producing p'operties at Leadville and other min ns centers, but it will not affect ores carrylng fsir value in silver. In Ari- l1as but few mines of low grade silver a1d lead ores have been developed. The Inspectors have sought ores that will Fag '' ship to distant places of reduc- non and have left the low grade ores untouched, to await the introduction of processes of cheap reduction. The Hlile Of decline in the prices Of lead Aod silver, therefore, is less felt by the A'lzona miner, although it Is still seri- ols matter to him.

General Logan ON tbe s,umn

At League Park, Toledo, Ohio, Thursday
evening, General John A. Logan addressed one
OF the largest audiences ever assembled at a
political meeting In that city. The speech was
reply to the one delivered by tho Hon. Thos,
a. Hendricks in Toledo the previous evening.
He claimed that the only monument erected
by the ID Democratlc party In this country has
been Its course in favor OF free trate. He de-
MED the charge OF Mr.. Hendricks that tho Re-
publican party has been derelict toward for
eigners In this land, and challenged Mr.. Hen
diicks TO point out one single statute that was
enacted by the Democratic party during the
forty years they we're In control of the Govern
ment declaring that citizen OF the United
States should be protected, whether he was ns-
tive or foreign. born, when he passed back to
his native country. He claimed that the Re.
publicans did enact such a law In 1868. Ho
also charged the Democratic party with hav-
Ing opposed the proclamation suppressing
slavery. General Logan insisted that the tariff
plank in the Democratic platform meant free
trade, Democratic denials to the contrary, and
cited the history of the party In support OF his
assertion. General Logan discussed the posi-.
tton OF the Republican party on the question,
the greater part OF his speech Deing devot I'd tO
this subject. Ho closed his speech with a
brief discussion OF the political situation In
the Southern States.

1t may not be able to accomplish this

BIoYoLisrs AND PEDESTRIANS.
Their Relative Rights Defined by
Judge SnelI To-day.

bhehr hethhtc ItsntS Dehucu ny
Judge Saeii To-day.
Charles McNabb, of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, was before the Police
Court this morning on charge of assault
on Professor A. CammaclS, the athlete, by
striking him with his bicycle last Friday
afternoon.
The question of relative rights and re-
sponsibilities of pedestrians and bcyclists
was fully discussed and clearly defined by
Judge Smell.
Colonel Robert Christie appeared for the
defendant.
Mr.. Cammack stated that last Friday af-
ternoon about 4:10 o'clock, while crossing
Fifteenth street from tho Treasury at the
intersection of New York avenue, he was
struck by bicycle ridden by tho defend-
ant and knocked insensible. He heard no
warning of the approach of the vehicle, and
he was struck on the foot aud leg by the
machine, and would have fallen If tho de-
fendant had not jumped of and caught
him. When he recovered consciousness he
was in drug store.
DIR. Acker testified to finding Mr.. Cam
mack suffering from q nervous shock.
Mr.. Morcland, the transfer agent sta
toned at the corner, testified that he heard
no warning or ringing Of tho bell on the BIZ
cycle.
Mr.. E. M. Merritt testified that the do
iendant rang the bell on his machine and
was going slow.
On cross. examination he said there was q
crowd of people on tho street at the time
coming out of the Departments and chang
ing cars, and he didn't SEQ how the bcycist
could get through the crowd without strik-
ing somebody.
Mr.. McNabb said ho was suddenly SUR
rounded and rung his bell.
In disposing of the case Judge Smell said
"Tho general rights Of pedestrians and
bicyclists are concurrent and equal. The
question arises, what is criminal negli-
gence2 The bicycle Is an unmauageable
vehicle in crowd, because it cannot bo
navigated or stopped while being ridden.
The bicyclist is chargeablo with tho defects
Of his vehicle. The only thing for him to
do in crowd is to get off. IL Is silent
stced and something nobody would think
of until they were caught. From my own
experience i know how easy 1t is to be
caught, because | have had some narrow es-
capes myself l think the defendant is
chargeable with that kind Of negligence
that makes him guilty of an ASSAULT. Com
mon prudence demanded that when he got
into the crowd he should have dismounted.
/ don't think the case is of any special
prominence, but / am going to enforce my
idea Of tho law by imposing fine of ST."
Colonel Christy, for the information of
the defendant and other bicyclists, asked
the Court If ringing Of his bicycle bell as a
warning did not make sufficient warning,
and excuse the defendant.
"Unless you brought home the knowl-
edge to the injured man of tho warning,
and proved that he neglected the warning,
the facts remain the same"
Counsel began to ask question about
the right Of the parties, when the Court
broke in and said, "They are perfectly
equal"

Going for Old Mule Buyer.

THE CRITIC is panied to notice that
some Of its Democratic brethren arc iu-
clined to grumble and growl about the
campaign of this year OF grace 1881. Some
of the ill.tcmpered Democratic pencil
pushers even 20 SO far as to say that Brother
Barnum Is an old ass, and ought to be
turned out to grass, to keep company with
his seven Indiana mules. This Is cruel
Tho old man is doing the best ho can with
the materials furnished him. II is case
cracy thisyear, and that kind Of an expert
ment failed away back, you know.
The kind of material furnished by the
Democrats this year is not of the choicest
for campaign purposes, and you can't make
silk purse out of n sow's ear. That ex-
pertinent has always failed, from away back
too. Give Brother Barnum the right kind
Of material and he will dish you up cam
paign that will be sacred cyclone.
Give him little forgery, littfe perjury,
. few Democratic mules and some more for
gerry and brigade of staunch and steady
long-faced liars, and he will serve you up n
red-hot campaign.
And then the way the brethren them
selves are acting is enough to freeze the
yonng blood-or the old blood other. for
that matter-of a chairman of Demo-
cratic National Committee. Thousands
upon thousands of them have jumped tho
party, and are mastering under the banner
Of Blaine and Logan. The brethren of Irish
descent, especially, are giving Brother Bar.
mum much trouble. They are becoming
SO outrageous shat they are actually looking
out for themselves rather than for the Dsm.
ocratic party.
Then many more are following Bold Ben
Butler as he goes footing over the hills and
far away and it has actually got to be 80
bad that It takes all of Brother Barnum's
time to keep his own votes instead of carry
ing off those of tho other side. On the
whole we hope that this defense of Brother
b. by THE CRITIC will be sufficient. And
in ali sincerity we do hopo that the
Democracy will keep him in his present
position till after the election.
