THE MANITOBA SYSTEM.

The Manitoba system makes changes in
its staff, but its course is still onward. 1t
is essentially the road Of the future, for
its interests are allied with the new grow
ing regions of the country. No yellow.
fever, floods, or strikes retard its growth.
II las firm hold on the most productive
part of the country, for it extends from
the head Of Lake Superior te the silver
ml,as at Butte, and from the ever-grow-
ing twin cities to the heart of Dakota.
We include in this outline the allied
lines which are a greater element Of
strength than if they were consolidated,
for they represent the principle of local
management and of local pride. In ad-
dition to this immense system the Mani
toha has utilized that 'arm of the Allan
tic" which extends from Buffalo to Du-
luih and West Superior. On this chain
Of lakes the Manitoba is placing steam
ers, such as the Northern Light, which
come from the east laden with cargoes of
2,700 tons Of coal and return to Buffalo
laden with wheat and Montana wool.
| This combination of rail and steamer
| ensures cheap transportation for the great
northwest, which thrives by sending her
produce at low rates to home and foreign
markets, receiving in return the manu-
lactures of New England and the middle
states.
Under the able control of President
| Hill, who will remain at the helm, the
Manitoba keeps up its financial standing,
while it extends its track into regions like
| he late northern reservation and holds
hem against all comers. 1t thus diver
sites its business, renders itself independ-
ent in measure of the wheat traffic, and
prepares the way for making the Montana
extension the trunk of the best of all
transcontinental railroads, in route, grade
and climate. That there will soon be
i further progress in this direction may be
inferred from the remark Of the Pioneer
Press, which recalls that "it was not
many months ago that John s. Kennedy,
then first vice president and still large
stockholder and director Of the company
stated at public banquet at Helena that
his company would continue construction
as rapidly as men and money could push
the work until the system embraced not
less than 5000 miles of track. The oper-
alton Of the lines built into Montana and
central and southern Dakota has been SC
entirely satisfactory that there is no doubt
but that the Manitoba mileage will be
largely increased during the coming
year."
Among such extensions we look conf
IDENTIFY for the early construction of the
Belt mountain railroad, in order to open
up that region for settlement and pro
mote the working of the mines at Barker
Neihart and elsewhere, whose ore mipht
now be smelted here with profit to all
concerned. The inducements are SC
strong that Mr.. Hill is not likely to disre-
| card them,

The contemplated issue Of 100000 in
bonds will enable Cascade county to pay
the Choteau and Meagher county claims
and leave balance for current expenses.
AS the actual valuation of this county is
$6,000,000, there is good security for this
loan, which very properly will not be &C
cepted at less than par. The interest Of
fered-six per cent.-is ample in these
days, when United States 4 per cent.
bonds are at high premium.

Carter labors under, delusion, when
he supposes that Sam Word had William
A. Clark nominated so that he might be
slaughtered" at the polls. In the first
place, Clark was the spontaneous choice
of the delegates. In the next place he
will not be slain at the polls; but will be
elected by large majority. If Sam
Word had any dark purpose of the Arm
old kind in view, he went the wrong way
to carry it out. But none supposes that
he had except Carter.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Four weeks from today and the ballots
will be falling like snow flakes. The
campaign has not been as exciting as that
of four years ago. On both sides many
strong men have fallen out of the ranks
and there are signs that the new genera
ton is coming to the front. There has
not been much personal abuse nor ami
mostly in this campaign. The ghouls
who feed on scandal have scanty fare.
Public questions rather than personal
qualifications have been the burden of
the stump speeches. Organization has
received much attention and campaign
documents have been distributed freely
Fireworks, brass bands and uniforms-all
good in their way-have received less at
city and other demonstrations were re-
markable in many ways. The poets have
not done much to enliven this campaign
They have produced no songs that have
caught the public taste. The caricatur-
lists have found the tariff difficult sub
jeCt for humorous illustration and their
pictures have failed to arouse much in
terest.
One of the best features of the cam
paign is the lack of sectional animosity.
The "bloody shirt" has not been waved
with any success There has been no eff
fort to arouse hatred against the south,
which on her side has manifested no dis
position to revive the bitterness of the
war period. The harmony which Gree
ley, Sumner, A. Fl. Stephens, Reverdy
johnson and other statesmen sought to
restore has been established by the lapse
of time and the growth Of kindly feel
ings between the north and south. The
''more perfect unlon' purged from slav-
cry and its attendant evils, has at length
been founded. 1t is the glory of the
American people and the admiration of
the world. May it be perpetual.

There is too much speculation in the
wheat trade, especially in Chicago. 1t
was not natural causes which raised
wheat in eight days from 9411a to $165 per

trading would be fatal to it. But spec ul
alton may be pushed too far.

AS already announced in The ATRIAL,
both charters for the exposition enterprise
in this city have been received from Nash

the Mardi Gras hilariousness. Pursuant
to call, the incorporators under both char
tiers held q meeting at o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Security bank, No. AZ

and MIR. X. q. Craig was made secretary.
On taking the chair Mr.. Cochran explained
the object of the meeting in brief and
pointed speech. Informal discussion fol-
lowed, in which nearly every one present
participated. The piedominance OF the
Memphis company adherents, who
wished to hear the one difference thor

and hoped all incorporatoH will find It
convenient 10 be present. Tn action was

TOR union OF all the forces, with their
wealth, energy and enterprise, against
which failure could not prevail.

CHICAGO Dec 5.-The feeling of uneasi-
ness, which has Of late possessed our citi-
gems, has become that of the gravest appre-
Tension, lest the conviction and sentence of
Hronek, the dynamiter, last Saturday, in
stead of intimidating the Anarchists, shall
ifcite them to gu earlier outbreak than had
been intended
That such an outbreak win occur is not
doubted by one citizen in one hundred, and
when it does come, they Haymarket massa-
ere win pale with insignifcance. To add TO
the discontinue of the law-abiding COM
munity, the police force, which during the
Haymarket riots was model of discipline
is now utterly demoralized in the uncer-
tainty Of the continuation OF the services Of
the men--each individual policeman expect
ing daily TO receive his discharge, that his
position may be Allied by an adherent Of the
new administration.
II has been discovered that the Anarchists,
instead of teaching their children godliness
at their recently organized complete system
of SUNDAY Schools are busily engaged in
sewing the seeds Of prejudice and hatred
toward society in tlieir young hearts, and in
Spring them to revolt and murder.
The citizens, thoroughly convinced Of the
Impending danger are also preparing for
an outbreak, and nearly every citizen has
provided himself With ammunition ana
firearms of the latest and most approved
killing qualities, and declare that in the
event of an outbreak they will stop at moth
ing short Of massacre, which viii wipe out
I of existence every avowed and suspected
Anarchist and Socialist in the city.
The sentence of Hronek was unexpected
by the Anarchists, and has melted them TO
open threats Of revenge, even through their
organ, the Arbeiter Zeitung, through the
columns Of which its young editor, who has
only been resident Of this country nine
months, is giving expression to even more
infiammatory opinions, arguments and pre-
varications than his hanged predecessor.

EXECUTION BY ELECTRICITY.
Experiments ia New York to Determine
tbe Amount Required to Kill.

Experiments ia New York to Determine
the Amonnt Required to Kill.
New YoRg, Dec Con January ], 1889,
the law requiring electrical executions goes
into effect, but until Wednesday ths amount
and character OF current required to make
death certain and instantaneous had not
been determined. The experiments made
upon dogs last summer by Harold p Brown,
the electrical engineer, were criticised be-
cause of tine fact that the weight of the
animals killed was less than that of a man,
and it was supposed that more current would
be required to kill human being on that
account
wednesday afternoon Mr. Brown was
given an opportunity to make a demonstra-
tion before Mr. Elbridge r. Gerry, author Of
the electrical execution law, and the com
mitteee appointed by the Medico Legal
society to report on the best means of put
ting the law into effect.
The experiments were made at Mr. Edi-
sons laboratory, at Orange, and the first
victim was a calf weighing 124 IL pounds.
The hair was cut on the forehead and on the
spine behind the fore legs and sponge Gov
ored plates, moistened in solution of sui
phate of zinc, were fastened in place. The
resistance of the animal was 200 ohms. An
alternating current OF 700 volts was applied
for thirty five seconds and the animal was
dead. It was at once dissected by Drs. In
gram and Blever, but the brain, heart and
lungs were found to be in normal condi-
ton and the meat was pronounced fit for
food. One metal plate carrying the current
touched the hair of the forehead and slightly
burned it, but otherwise there were no ex-
ternal indications of injury.
The second calf weighed las pounds, and
had a resistance of 1900 ohns. The deadly,
alternating current at 700 volts pressure was
applied for five seconds, and produc ed death.
To settle permanently the weight question,
horse Weighing 1,23b pounds was next
killed by passing the alternating current at
700 volts from one fore leg to the other. The
resistance of this animal was ii 600 ohms.
HThere were present Mr.. Thomas A. Edison,
Professor r. Ogden Doremus, Professor
Charles A. Doremus, DR.. Frederick Peterson,
DR.. Frank Ingram, Mr.. Elbrilge T. Gerry,
DIR. j. NJ. Bigger, M. Bournegon and Mrs
John Murray Mitchell.
The experiments proved the alternating
current to be the most deadly force known
to science, and that less than half the pres
sure used in this city for electric lighting by
this system is sufficient TO cause instant
death.
