EsCAUABA, Mich, Feb. 22.-Some
months ago a plan was conceived
whereby the distance by water from
the parts on Lake Michigan to Lake
Superior points could be reduced about
800 miles. A party of capitalists
considered the feasibility Of
the project and about decided to
carry the plans into execution. The
proposed plan was to construct q canal
connecting the two great bodies of wa
ter from the head Of big bay De-Noc in
Lake Michigan to South bay in Lake
superior. The distance forty miles. It

New York and Minneapolis Capitalists

The Issue or she Day ON q Disability
or Service Pension Bill.
WINFIELD, Kas., Feb. 22.-This is
the big day of the seventh annual on
campment of the department of Kan
sas G. A. R. The streets are jam of
delegates and visitors from every nook
of the state. Aside from the prospects
of the various department candidates
the question of service and disability
pension bills form the chief topic.
Little of official note excepting
various welcome addresses and re-
sponses has yet occurred. The
fight for department commander is
between J. w. Feighan of Emporia,
and VIM. G. Whitney of Cawker City.
The issue is joined on the pension
question, the former being in favor of
a disability bill and the latter of a
service measure. A vote which is con-
sidered to test the strength of each
faction shows majority in favor of
the disability pension man.

DULUTH. Mimi, Feb. 22.-This
morning at 7:15 an explosion of dyna-
mite occurred in rock cut on Fourth
street, by which eighteen men were in

One died upon reaching the hospital
and the others cannot live through the
day. The men and rocks were hurled
many feet by the shock. The explos-
ion was caused by some cartridges
fused last Saturday, but had not ex-

about them, and few taps on the
drill served to set off the unexploded
cartridges with the results as stated.

ARKANSAS.

The presidential campaign is making as
gratifying progress in Arkansas as in this
state, where it is SO quiet that it is only
now and then that the people are
made aware Of the fact that cleo
tors arc in the field. The Union La
Dor party, which cut such poor figure in
the recent Gubernatorial canvass, has put
an electoral ticket in the field, where
their candidates are confronted by the
Prohibition electors as well as those OF the
Democratic and Republican parties. OF
course this is to be considered forlorn
hope. The Union Labor people cannot
touch the Democratic majority OF 1906
which Eagle polled. On the contrary, it
is expected that the campaigns in the sew
cral Congressional districts will have the
effect of increasing that to $4,000. 1t goes
without saying that Judge Cate will carry
the first district by ut least the majority
of 5000 il gave for Eagle. Some say he
will make it 5000 majority. If he does
that will be 1000 to be added to the ma
jority of the Governor-elect, To this the
second district will also contribute an in
crease us Clifton II. Breckenridge is sure
to be reelected. McRae, in the third,
and 10 ;ers, in the Fourth, are also sure
Of election, and there lis reason TO hope
that Peel will defeat Watson, the INDIE
pendent Democratic candidate. Cleye-
lands plurality over Blaine and But
Ter in 1884 was 22,l2l. Surely,
with such an electoral ticket as the
Democrats Of Arkansas have in the field,
assisted by so many able Congressman,
they should be able to increase this to a
majority for Cleveland and Thurman Of
5000.

Harris on Top.

From the Knoxville Journal (Rep).
There is contest going on within the
Democratic household Of Tennessee about
which comparatively little is said in the
newspapers 1t is nevertheless a contest
Of no little bitterness, and in the result Of
which at least two distinguished Democrats
are deeply interested. The fact that Gen.
J. ID. c. Atkins presumed to become
candidate for the United Senate against
Senator Harris was regarded by many men
in his own party rs crime. Senator Har-
ris has been in Office 80 long, and many
men in his party have become so accus-
toned TO looking up TO him as their leader,
as the party's supreme head, that he is
looked upon rs holding on to whatever he
wants and enjoying il rs an indefeasible
right. The idea OF Atkins or anybody else
dispnting or questioning this right was
looked upon rs the supremacy OF presump-
ton.
But Atkins did become an avowed can.
didate for United States senator And,
what seems astonishing to some people,
he complains that the internal revenue
offices Of the State, with their swarms OF
deputies, gaugers and storekecpers, have
DOtH NoHNtIlcu lHlO lldtnlnt W indho
votes for his competitor, Senator Harris.
He and his friends say that these officials,
the creatures of an administration which
processes to be in favor of civil service re-
form, are actively engaged, not in attend
ing TO the official duties for which they re-
ceive fat salaries from the government;
but in manipulating legislative conven-
tons so rs TO make votes for their chief
and benefactors. With a lively recollec-
ton Of benefits already received and hopes
Of favors TO come they are hard at work
for Harris. We say II is astonishing to
some people that Atkins should complain
OF this
II now looks rs il Atkins were down and
Harris on top OF him with both feet. At
the outset it appeared different. II looked
hopeful for Atkins. But the internal
revenue men have got in their work in
Davidson and Shelby counties, and in SOW
eral others. A Democratic Legislature
will mean majority for Harris, aud il tho
Legislature is Democratic, there seems 20
bc very little doubt that Harris will be re-
elected, and Gen. Atkins will have plenty
of time TO mediate over the Jolly OF kick
ing against the machine.

PETER COOPER AND HIS WORK

To the Editor Of The Appeal.
In Dr. Talmngrs sermon OF the 2ith, rs printed
in your issue of same date, occur these words:
'Nr Peter Cooper who, owning an interest In the

We have never heard OF his name
