The Northern Pacific railroad
company has recently given an Or
der to the Baldwin Locomotive
works OF Philadelphia for twenty
six new locomotives and an order
for 1900 new freight cars at the
Peninsular works in Detroit
This indicates an enormous increase
Of business. The company is
constantly adding to it's already ex-
listing lines, and now controls over
5000 miles of road. The latest
move is to make connection with
the Grand Trunk of Canada, which
is the opening of the door to con-
tinuous line from ocean to ocean.
The Northern Pacific is now on
the rapid ascendent. Its mileage
will soon be the greatest in the
world, and will exist in the most
productive country of the contin-
ent.--Sunday.

The Convention.
term

The convention has been grind
ing quite slowly since it's organic
alton, and have not accomplished
great deal, so a republican con-
gress was held &C the Capitol af
ter adjournment, on Monday, and
it was the unanimous opinion Of
the meeting that the Convention
should move more briskly, that
business should be expedited.
Time is being wasted and it the
constitution is not ready within a
reasonable time, night sessions will
be necessary. Gas has been put
into the Capitol building and night
sessions will be begun Immediately.
An attempt was made to have the
Convention adjourn until We'd
nesday, that the Constitution might
not interfere with a clam bake.
A delegation Of ministers and
Elders, and they are bent on secnr-
ing exemption Of church property
from Taxation. A resolution that
the j udicial committee be instruct
ed to prepare separate article
providing for impeachment and re
moval from office-was carried.
A petition from the pedagog-
ues, favors industrial training, and
asks that the requirements for
teachers be made more exacting.
Also, in favor of compulsory edu-
cation and that there shall be an
education qualification for electors.
That is all very nice, but it would
seem that the Educators want the

before the Convention on Tuesday
evening, and spoke on silver and

A single American railway now
buys more iron than both Great
Britain and the United States
made century ago. There were
neither railways then, nor bridges
nor buildings; no petroleum pipes,
for there was no gas lighting even
in Europe until later. Washing
ton lived in an age of darkness;
instead of the electric light the
people had candles costing about
3 cents apiece, In all the depart
ments and applications Of chemis-
try the century has simply created
a new world. American pressed
glass, which has completely revo,
!utionized the supply of table and
house ware, is an invention of the
last sixty years. Farming in
Washington's day knew nothing Of
machinery: even the first iron pillow
patented in 1871 was failure, tol
New Jerusalem farmers though,
it poisoned the soil. Mowers
reapers and harvesters began to
be invented about the Same time
and even the ordinary implements
were such as would not now bt
thought possible to use. The
steamboat was practically unknown
and the railway entirely until for
ty years later, and the cost O
transportation by wagon confined
the area OF possible production
with profit, as to most crops, t,
the margin of navigable waters
In fact, a new world has been Gre
ated in this century.-Videttc.
