Optimism Regarding the Central Pacific's
Side OF the Question.

NEW YORK, March 10Th The Posts
Washington special says the arguments of
the advocates of the Central Pacific road
before the Senate committee on Saturday
on the proposed funding bill are not with
out significance. They take the bold stand
that there is absolutely no money due to
the United States from the Central Pacific
Company and that all the claim that the
Government has upon the road or its stock
holders will be legally satisfied whenever
the road shall default upon payment Of the
debt upon its maturity, and the Govern
ment shall foreclose its mortgage and take
possession of the road, and that the lien
which the Government has upon the road
by virtue of the statute of 1884 is not a lien
which gives it any right beyond the mere
taking OF the property.
Some of the best lawyers in the country,
who are not connected with the Central
Pacific road, maintain that the position
which is assumed by that road would be
sustained by the highest Courts.

adapted for this fruit that the finest varie-

flourish still more abundantly; but, even

varieties of the native grape at prices which
will bring them within the reach of all.

Since the Republicans of the New Jersey

renounced their party and returned to the

Bradley has been spending annually about
$1,000 for the Prohibition cause, and last
year was one of the most earnest supporters

and digniied testimony, orderly in arrange
ment and logical in method remarkably

livered from the witness stand and broken
by questions. Governor Stanford states
the facts upon which his company bases its
equitable claims with a directness and
positiveness that does not admit of denial.
The testimony will be read with interest
by thoughtful people, solicitous to ascertain
the exact truth and willing to understand
the precise position the railroad company

REvIvIFYING AN OLD CRUSADE.

The Albany On. " Journal referring
to the attempt to resErect the anti-rail-
road sentiment in Iowa and inaugurate a
new anti-railroad craze, charges that the
inaugural address of Governor Larrabee
was SO tinctured with demagogism
that Indictment to actual violence could al
most be read between the lines. Iowa, with
about the same area and l,25D 900 less people,
enjoys nearly as good railroad facilities as Hi
nois, and yet the refusal of the roads to pro-
iect mes into undeveloped sections has opened
the way to cries of discrimination. on which
the pr sent antagOnism to the roads is based.
DemagogueS have used the issue for its full
vaiue and already a general fare law of two
cents mile is proposed, although last year the
average fare eXacted by the companies was ., 20
cents per mile, three being the statute maxi
mum. The fact that the New York Central is
limited to two cents per mile proved very fasci-
mating to the law makers, while the difference
IN density of population between Iowa and
New Iork-54 to the square mile in comparison
to JOB 10 the square mile in New Tork-Was ap-
parently lost sight of. 1t is also proposed in this
deirium of hatred to railroads to clothe the
Railroad Commissioners, chosen by the people,
with Judicial and absolute arbitrary powers"
The Journal then proceeds to warn the
people Of Iowa of the old mistake they
are repeating, of antagonizing corporations
instead of skillfully directing their powers
The history of the Granger crusade it
thinks ought to be too fresh in public
memory to permit of Iowa taking the step
she is now urged to. The Journal forgets
that demagogy never considers any ends or
interests but its own. The men who are
endeavoring to organize new crusade
against great material industries with
which the best interests of the people are
interviewer, never take these interests into
account. Nothing will check the dema-
gogue- especially the anti-railroad dema-
gogue-but rebuke by the people He
is insensible to appeals of reason, as gross
selfshness always is. The Iowan agitators
will continue their work until, Just as was
before done, disgust follows defeat, and the
people will find that the producers and
business people of the State have been
chiefly harmed to crafty the desire of a
few men to be lifted into some sort of
prominence

God the True Comforter.


God has promised that period shall
be put to the reign of sorrow: God
will wipe away tears from off all faces :"
Isaiah XIV: 81. Can we not wipe
away our own tears? Never. If any
man dry his own tears he shall weep
again, but if God dry our tears our
eyes shall never lose their light. 1t all
comes, therefore, to a consideration of
this question, Who shall put an end to
this sorrow? Shall we try frivolity,
shall we drown our sorrows, shall we
Danish our grief by pre-engaging our
memory by things that die in their
using? Or shall we say, Thou living
God of all joy, thou only canst put an
end to human woe; make my heart
glad, and then my face will shine; take
the guilt away from my conscience and
my whole nature, and then my tears
will cease to flow? This is interior
work, this is spiritual miracle, this
belongs to the reign of God and the
ministry of grace. We resign ourselves,
not passively and murmuringly, but
actively and thankfully, to God, that he
may make us glad with his own joy.
The Lord awaits our consent to the
drying of our tears.--ETchdnge.

Alone with God.

In every instance the man who pre-
walls in prayer is the man who is alone
as he prays with God. Abraham leaves
Sarah behind when he pleads with
him for Sodom, and if he fails it is be-
cause he ceases to ask before God ceases
to grant. Moses is by himself beside
the bush in the wilderness. Joshua is
alone when Christ comes to him as an
armed man. Gideon and Jephthah are
by themselves when commissioned to
save Israel. Once does Elijah raise a
child from the dead, and Elisha does
the same, and in each case not even the
mothers came in while the prophet,
alone with God, asks and receives, So
of Ezekiel, so of Daniel. Although
others are present, Saul journeying to
Damascus is alone with Christ; after
that he breaks upon him. Cornelius is
praying by himself when the angel
flashes upon his solitude, nor is any
one with Peter upon the house-top
when he is preparing to 90 to the Cen
tiles for the first time. One John is
alone in the wilderness; another John
is by himself in Patmos when nearest
God. 1t is when alone under his fig
tree in prayer that Jesus sees Nathan
iel. All religious biography, our own
closest communion and success with
God, show what Christ means when, as
if it were the only way to pray, he says:
"Thou, when thou prayest, enter into
thy closet, and when thou hast shut the
door, pray to thy Father which is in Sc
cret, and thy Father, which seeth in
secret, shall reward thee openly. "-Rev.
William W. Baker.

The Ever-Fresh Parable.

A boy came to buy a gospel. We
gave him st. Luke's, and, turning to
the parable of the Prodigal Son, we
asked him to read it. After he had
read it he told us in his own words
what he had read, and we explained it.
The next day he came for another Cos
pei, and the catechist gave him st.
Matthew's. He came back to the tent
soon after, and said; Sc don't like this.
| should like one the same as l had
before" "Why would you like the
same?" we asked. " took the one |
bought BEFORE" he said, " and read the
story you pointed out to me to man in
the village. 1t was so nice that he
wanted the book, so l sold it to him,
and | want another for myself" 1t is
a fine instance of the Bible winning its
way by its own power. There is some
thing in that parable which seems to
commend it to the human heart, no mat
ter in what language it is written
