A RniIroaa CoosoIiaation.

Ottawa, Ont, special: 1t is reported
here this evening that negotiations are
pending with view of transferring the
Canada Atlantic railway to the Canadian
Pacific company. The report has caused
some uneasiness, as such q transfer would
place Ottawa completely at the mercy Of
the syndicate monopoly, as the Grand
Trunk and every other competing company
would be shut out altogether. The visit OF
j. Gregory Smith of the Central Vermont
railway to Ottawa Is said to be In connec-
ton with the matter. The Canada Atlantic
proprietors desired, It seems, TO sell out to
the Grand Trunk, but the latter company
considered the price asked too high. The
Pacific company, however, are willing to
pay good figure in order to secure mo-
nopOly of 0ttawa's trade. One Of the
reasons given by the Pacific company for
wanting the Canada Atlantic road is that a
portion Of IL can be utilized In forming the
proposed ''Air Line" from Smiths Falls to
Montreal

The people Of Peoria are mourning for
Judge YATES and win not be comforted be-
cause he is not to be found. 1t is another
illustration Of the folly OF putting too much
confidence I'M human being. Judge YATES
was the model man OF the town. His
probity and uprightness were known Of all
men, and because Of his upright walk in
life and bis reputation for sterling honesty
he was made the depository OF all the trust
funds Of the town. 1t is the old story OF
misplaced confidence and OF human weak
ness. The old apostle was right when be
pronounced money the root OF ali evil.
Gold has temptations which make
It dangerous TO the strongest nature. Judge
YATES case is a lamentable verifcatlon of
the apostles wisdom. There is an old
provero that ''every man has his price. F"
1t seems that in this instance it took a quar-
ter OF million 70 buy an upright judge.
The defaication has its moral, and every
community would do vel to lay It to heart
