A Proposed Excursion Through tho
Middle, Southern and Eastern States.
CHICAGO, H., Feb. ia local paper
says that the proposed excursion through
the Middle, Southern and Eastern States,
for the purpose OF enlghtening Canadian
members OF Parliament as 10 the actual
condition and resources Of this country, is
to be fact and not n fancy. The matter
has been much discussed in the newspa
pers Of late. Sir John Macdonald was in.
terroga,ed regarding it in Parliament last
week, but replied that he had heard moth.
ing OF il officially. Nevertheless the ex.
cursion has been planned and all the
members OF the Canadian Parliament
will he invited. 1t is expected that about
400 OF her majesiy's subjects will accept
the invitation aud about half rs many
Senators and Congressman will be asked
10 do the hOnOrs as guides Tor the visitors.
About May the proposed excursion will
start. Three solid Pullman trains will
leave Suspension Bridge for Buffalo, where
the tour Of inspection OF American cities
will begin. Arrangements will bc made
in advance for the local Chambers Of Com
mcrcc or kindred corporations TO show the
visitors everything Of interest in the cities
visited in rs brief and as thorough n man
ner rs possible.
The route OF the proposed excursion viii
be via Buffalo, Cleveland, Piltsburg, Chi
cago, Kansas City, ST. LOUIS, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Birming-
ham, Decatur, Admission, Richmond,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Scranton, Harrisburg, New York, Boston,
Montreal and Ottawa. At the larger cities.
such As Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and
New York, two days will be allowed, but
the stay in other places will be limited 20
day. Arrangements were made with tho
Pullman Company yesterday, :. j. Riichic,
OF Akron, O., representing the parties
Interested in the movement. Mr.. Richie
Is large property owner In Canada, and
Is on intimate terms with the leading
statesmen Of that country. lie has been
one OF the foremost in advocating CONNER
cial reciprocity between the two countries,
and his efforts are directed more at level
ing the commercial barrier than the politi-
cal one. lie has received the promises Of
many leading Canadian politicians OF both
parties that they would be pleased to iako
the trip. The expenses OF the excursion
will be borne entirely by few gentlemen,
unless Congress sees III 10 make an appro.
priaiion for the purpose
later IN the season II Is proposed 10 have
the Interstate Commerce Commissioners
visit Canada, calling at every point where
railroad communication between the two
countries exists. and the result OF their in
ycsiimtion Is expected 10 do great deal
toward smoothing matters between tho
two countries Senator CuiIom will have
charge Of the latter expedition.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 15.-The Sem
ate has done nothing today OF special i'm
portance. A few minor local bills were
passed and many read a second time and
new ones introduced.
The most important bill passed by the
House today was one pertaining TO the in
spection of coal oil, giving control Of it to
cities OF second class and towns.
Gov. Eagle today sent to the Senate its
concurrent resolution permitting G. NJ.
Norwood TO Withdrew his petition for
contest for the Office OF Governor without
his approval, portion OF which veto is as
follows; "In this petition Mr.. Norwood
alleges that he was elected TO the Office l
am now occupying, but by fraud perpe-
trated against the ballot in various locai-
ties-more than twenty counties being
enumerated by him-that he has been de-
pri"ed OF the Office TO which the people
elected him and his party of the fruits Of
its victory. Either this is true or
it is not. II true that fact ought to be as
certained speedily and the wrong righted;
If untrue the charges should be refuted by
incontestible testimony and branded as
false and slanderous. Such charges having
been entertained by the General Assem-.
bly,, the only tribunal that can pass on it,
/ feel that il is but just TO me, Just TO the
party whose standard bearer was in the ,
recent election, as well as just to the peo.
pie Of Arkansas, that it should be investi-
gated and the truth made known and the
good name OF the State indicated. II
was not elected Governor by legal and con-
stitutional methods ought not TO be act.
ing in that capacity, and il /, after such
charges as are contained in Mr.. Norwoods
petition are made, were to approve of this
resolution permitting him to withdraw this
petition TO contest without also withdraw
ing his charges, ! would be unworthy to
sit in the chair now occupy and to which
| know the people OF my State called me-"

That is a strong position that Gov Eagle

its object. 1t is mugwump dlvlce
caught up by the democratic press
and is so transparent that it Will fail
of its effect. Harrison and Blaine have
lived through too much of that kind
of thing to be caught in the trap at
this critical juncture. The president
has no more love for mugwump
than his secretary of state, and what
a deep interest in the welfare of the
nation has joined together no mug
wump can put asunder. President
Harrison is the head, not the tail, of
his cabinet and those who do not
believe so now will know it hereafter.
These men promise an era of good at
home and abroad that will make the
republican party invincible before
the people for years to come, and 1T Is
the consciousness of this that
hurts. The mugwumps see their arch
enemy, Blaine, promoted to the chief
seat in the cabinet and they are ram
pant with rage. The democrats
see their nope of returning to power
growing smaller by degrees and beau
tifully less and so this attempt to dl-
vide the great leaders of the party
by creating a jealousy in the mind OF
the president concerning his secretary
of state, Harrison is too broad man to
be influenced by any such fool notions,
and Blaine is not the man to provoke
such feeling by any act. His nature is
loyalty itself, always was and al
WAYS will be.
