THE 800" OPENING.

The completion of the $500" line
marks an epoch in the history of the
railway and commercial development of
the Northwest. 1t is the beginning of
an era in which Chicago is to be COM
pletely eliminated as a factor in North
western commerce, and one which will
establish st. Paul and Minneapolis as
the chief centerS of trade without fear
of possible competition in all the future.
Our commercial relations will undergo
another change by the completion of
this line. Hereafter Boston will
grow into more Importance as an
Atlantic port. while New York must
suffer in corresponding degree.
The 800" line brings the North
west into direct communication
with Boston, and shortens the distance
to the Atlantic Seaboard by about 200
miles as compared with any other line.
The advantages to the Northwest by the
opening of this line are so apparent
that it would be useless to enumerate
them in detail. But there are some
things to be looked at on the other end
of the line which merit careful consid-
GRAFTON, if Boston expects to reap the
full benefit Of the blessings which are
to be derived from an exclusive control
of Northwestern commerce, and which
now seem ready to be poured into her
lap. First, and chief of all, is the estab-
lishment of a line of steamers
direct from Boston to all i'm
portant European ports. 1t will be
of no advantage to us to gain 200 miles
10y more direct line to Boston and then
lose it all again by being compelled to
double back to New York to get ocean
transportation. This is a matter that
Boston has an equal interest with us i'm
looking up, and we hope that as our
Northwestern people have done their
share in building a railroad that will
give Boston such wonderful advantage
over New York, the Boston people
will now have enough enterprise and
public spirit TO utilize the advantages
we have given them.

OBSTINATE CORBIN.

Railway Magnate CoRBIN, president
of the Reading railway, is making very
unenviable record by the manner in
which he has conducted himself toward
the striking employees of his railway and
the mines controlled by it. He has
throughout maintained an arbitrary and
dictatOrial attitude toward the employees
which they would not be human if they
did not resent. Their oyertures for a
settlement of the troubles have been
fatty refused and they have had it init
mated to them about as plainly as it
could be put, that they must either obey
or starve so far as the company is con-
cerned.
Naturally this is not the spirit in

CARLISLE oVERWORKED.

The simple fact of the matter is that
Speaker CARLISLE is oyerworked.
Though man of stalwart frame and
vigorous constitution, he has deliber-
ately overtasked his strength, and the
strain has been greater than even his
robust physique could stand. The nat
ural reaction has set in, and though he
is now believed to be beyond all danger,
it is hardly possible that he will regain
his former vigor during the present
session, though it is a time when he
needs both mind and body in the most
healthy condition possible.
The trouble is that Mr.. CARLISLE has
made the mistake which nearly every
other American public man is making
of supposing that he could go on MAX
ing demands upon his vital force forever
without impairing or reducing it. He is
just finding out this mistake which
came near being so costly, which has
caused the death of others, and which
will result in breaking down the health
of still more unless the oft-recurring
warnings are better needed in the fu-
ture than they have been in the past.
No machinery can run continuously
without single stoppage for repairs
and not eventually break down. The
human machinery, most delicate of all,
requires especial consideration, as Mr..
CARLISLE is now finding out to his
sorrow.
Every man engaged in exacting seden-
tary pursuits, every man whose brain
power is eXerted continuously to the
highest degree, should permit himself
certain seasons of relaxation and re-
cuperation. 1t is the only way he can
preserve his continued usefulness, and
the only way he can ward off the inev-
liable breakdown. Let the congress
sional chaplains preach something of
the gospel of exercise to their hearers.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Important Resolutions Adopted at
Yesterdays Session.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Before the
national board of trade to-day Capt.
Taylor, U. S. n, read paper on the
Nicaraguan canal. F. B. Thurber dis
cussed at length the postal telegraph
question. Erastus Wiman spoke in op-
position to government control. After
further discussion the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That the usefulness of the post
office department should be extended in the
direction of Geographic communication, and
we urge upon congress the earliest favorable
consideration of this question.
The question of commercial union
with Canada was discussed at length
and the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved. That the executive council be
directed to memorabilia congress to provide
for commercial relations with the Dominion
or Canada upon the broad and comprehen-
slve principles OF complete reciprocity.
The discussions of the question of the
abolition or reduction Of the internal
revenue tax occupied large part of the
afternoon session. At the close of the
discussion the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved. That recent events have shown
In manner which cannot longer be disre-
garded, the danger to the business interests
OF the country from our government con-
tinuing in the time of peace the excessive
taxation which was necessary in time of
war. A large surplus in the treasury ties up
the circulating medium which is the life
blood of commerce, exposes the people to
still greater taxation in the shape of high
rates OF interest, acts as menance to in
dustry, dwarfs business enterprise, gives the
treasury power over commerce which was
never contemplated, and is a constant temp
tation to extravaganza in the administration
of our government.
Resolved, That business men of all parties,
whether protectionistS or free-traderS, should
unite in demanding early action by congress
to reduce our present enormous revenues in
way which will least embarrass existing
industries.
Resolved. That while it is desirable to re-
duce the internal taxes, it is not desirable to
abolish the internal revenue system as a
whole.
A resolution embodving a proposition
to recommend the total repeal of inter-
nal taxes failed.

LAKE MILITIA.

4 bill has been introduced into con-
gress providing for the establishment of
lake naval reserve, which is meeting
with great deal of favorable comment
from those interested in lake trans
portati6n and from the people of lake
cities. The reason is apparent. In case
of hostilities between this country and
Great Britain, which would of course
involve Canada, our entire lake frontier
and lake commerce would be practically
unprotected.
There is but one naval vessel now on
the great lakes, the u. S. S. Michigan,
stationed at Erie, Pa, and it is of the
old style of naval architecture, virtually
useless. There is, therefore. no effective
means of resisting attack. The bill re-
ferred to contemplates establishing on
the lakes marine militia force just as
the main dependence of the country is
upon the land militia for troops should
there ever be occasion for their use. 1t
is proposed to utilize such of the present
lake vessels as are fit for the purpose as
reserve, and naval officer is now on
tour of investigation to determine
how many such vessels there are.
the owners of the vessels are to enter
into provisional contract with the
government, and the YES sells so engaged
are only to be interfered with i'm the
mercantile service for one month in
each year, when they are to be called
out to go through a drill and inSpec-
ton. Of course, owners, officers and
crew are to be compensated for this
month spent in the government service.
Armaments for these vessels are to be
deposited at convenient points easy of
access. 1t is expected that in short
time almost every suitable YES
sci on the lakes would be
capable of rendering effective naval
service. The different boards of trade
and carriers associations of the various
lake cities have cordially Endorsed the
scheme, and favored, as it is, by the
secretary of the navy, it stands an ex-
cellent chance of receiving congress
sional approval.
The one difficulty that stands in the
way is clause in our treaty with Great
Britain, which provides that either
country shall maintain but one naval
vessel OH the lakes. Whether this pro-

This could not possibly be true of the

In still further discussing what had
been said Of his book, Mr.. Donnelly de-
clared that had the American critics
procured fac-simile of the folio of 1923
and tested the facts as the English crit
les have done, they would have been
convinced that there was cipher in
the plays. Why, continued he, turning
to page Seventy-SiX, here we have on the
second column within the compass of
twelve lines ''charge," robbery"

Mr.. DOnnelly pointed out the words
which composed the two following SEN
fences in one scene and the introduction
to Henry w." which is supposed to
be Cecil's argument against Shakes
peare'S having written the plays:
He is the son of a poor peasant, who
yet follows the trade of gloyemaking in
the hole where he was born and bred
one of the peasant towns of the west.
And there are even rumorS that Will
and his brother did themselves follow
the trade for some time before they
came here.
Now" said Mr. DOnnelly, ''I chal-
lenge the skeptical to find words con-
shutting like sentences in any other
four pages of print in the world, and [
will not ask them to follow any arith-
metical rule, but let them pick them

We notice that the popular amuse-
ment among the newspapers just at

With all due respect to the press of this
state, we would suggest that it is little
early in the year to plant any kind of a
crop in Minnesota, and that the frosts
of January and February and the hurri-
canes of March. to say nothing of the
following months, will be very likely to
interfere materially with any political
boOmlet starting just now. Wait a

rived from lease Of 100000 acres

rental of 100000 year. In April, 1886,
the money 900, 600 was distributed pre-
rata under the provisions of a bill
passed by the Cherokee legislature
among Cherokee blood only, adopted
citizens being ignored. An attempt was
made to amend the bill and include all
citizens OF the Cherokee nation, but the
amendment was voted down. The
present chief, Joel b. Mayes, and other
progressive Cherokees voted against
the bill and urged an equal distribution
OF the money. The bill before congress
gives the negroes pro rata share in

KEGS hold that the negroes and othe,
