LONDON, August 26.-The Daily News

From a Canadian Standpoint.

ST. PAUL, August 26.-W. G. Van
Horne, President of the Canadian
Pacific, being interviewed for the Pioneer
Press on the proposals contained in the
Presidents message, said The policy
of non-in. ercourse between the United
States and Canada will damage American
railway interests between two and three
dollars where it would injure the Cana

the blow would fall rather heavily on the
Grand Trunk lines, but to the Canadian
Pacific it would be comparatively slight.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-27

From this table it appears that the
ratio of net gains made by the Dem o.
Gratis (2S votes in 1877 is little more
than in every 26 voters. As the total
vote of Illinois for President in 1884 was
672, ,S49, Democratic gain of l vote in
every 26 of the whole would represent a
total gain of 25,878, which is more than
enough to overcome the Republican
plurality of 24,827, emitting all mention
of the Republican loss of AZ votes in 737,
or the Prohibition gain of 16 votes in 1877.
The truth is that the interviews obtained
by the Times correspondents accurately
represent the drift Of political sentiment
in Illinois, and if the ratio of change
which these interviews indicate is main
tanned throughout the whole body of
voters, Illinois will 60 Democratic in
November by plurality at least as large
as that obtained by the Republicans in
1884.
Equally suggestive are the causes as

Wants Pay.

J. c. Thoresen 81 Co. are circulating
q petition among the business men and
taxpayers of Ogden, asking that the
city reimburse them to some extent for
the outlay they made in sinking wells
in Lester Park. The subject will doubt
all 10 whom it is presented,
forts to secure to the city and its in
habitants, flowing water ia that quar-
ter.
The history of it's digging is fresh in
the minds of the readers of THE HER
AID How the first well was spiked by
some miscreant by putting in pieces of
steel and how in the second they en-
countered such finty formation that
the tools they had were unable to sue
cessfully cope with it.
The Messrs. Thoresen & Co. have left
on the premises pipe to the value OF
1886. SO and incurred incidental expenses
to the amount of $196 %, besides pur
chasing over $50 worth of tools espe6-
tally for the work. That the city should
reimburse them to some extent no or e
will gainsay, although the contract was
not carried out by some sixty feet OF
whereabouts. Should the petition re-
ce;ye the liberal support that its merit
seems TO call for. 1t will come before
the council for their action at the next

The Depot.

There was a called meeting of the
City Council Friday evening to take &C
tioD, or consider what action woald be
taken, on the last proposition of the
Depot Company. Another long petit
ton was read and map or plat exhi-
bited that completely covered the May
or's table. Among other things asked
for were fse additional tracks across
Fourth streer and some changes in
First and E ghth Streets and their az
brooches. Altogether there va. nothir
important or unre asonable in the pt IL

to grant The request of the petitioners,
With Perhaps some coadi ions that

Thus II seem, that al tt ,ulties are
to be amicably settled, and TIE city and
the rail- loads will be accommodated.
Work on the new depot Is becoming
something of a Chestnut to write about,
but as long as there is work going on,
there IS something to say and the
people like to know what is being done.
Yesterday j. G. Thoreson & Co. had
force at work putting down a well.
They have been at work there two
days and have nearly 200 feet of pipe in
the ground. H W much further they
will have to go to get Fl owing water il.

no similar wells put down in the inn

new depot have been condemned. The
contractors will have none but tbs best

The lumber purchased Cor the depot
by the contractor, Mr.. Sharp, has begun
to arrive. Mr.. Sharp himself is ex-

| ing the stone for the new depot was let
some time since The machinery for
saving stone is expected early next
week. 1t consists of gang saws and
steam power. and will be up in q
convenient position to the work.
The grading for the tracks that will
lead to the depot is progressing favor
ably. A large number of men and
teams are employed in this importan
department
The large building containing oil
tanks of large dimensions just north OF
Fourth Street Is being torn down to
make room for the freight depot and
its approaches.
The transfer tracks, it is understood
will be moved to the vicinity of the new
freight depot as soon as that building
is ready for occupancy.

Public Health.

ALI things considered, the general
health CT the city was never better.
There is no diphtheria in town, and
THE HERALD never meant to say there
was. 1t was a lamen table error that
the name of Ogden was substituted for
the name of Eden in Thursdays paper.
The correspondent here does not brsg
on his handwriting, and the compositor
may not have been much to blame
The writer has been approached by
more than fifty citizens, who were en-
tirely satisfied with our explanation.
That we make mistakes is not denied.
We hasten to correct them, how
ever. as soon as they are
found out, and never insist
that an assertion once made must be
adhered TO, right or wrong. We will
be pleased to keep the public informed
on the health of the city, as we'll as on
all other subjects, and that the news is,
as rule, reliable none will gainsay.
