Who VIII Succeed Sir John Macdonald,
Premier of Canada.
TORONTO. June 1.-Discussng the aues-
tion. What will follow in the event of Sir
John Macdonald's demise the Globe, the
principal organ of tho liberal party, says:
Hints have been thrown out about coali-
tion. but that is ont of the question. The
liberals would not coale see with Tup-
per or Langeyin upon any terms nor
join with Abbott or Thompson
except upon the clear understanding
that the national policy should be aban-
doned in favor of free trade with the
United States. Whoever Sir Johns sue
cessor may be the task before him will be
one of extraordinary difficulty. The liber-
ais are prepared for the putting of public
considerations first, and to do everything
that is fair and reasonable that the Queens
government may call for, but they cannot
be expected to condone things which they
have condemned, or to support fiscal pol
ICY which they know to be wrong"

Discussed.
WHERE NEXT WILL THE AK FALI9
New Years Passengers Side-Tracked at Lehi
JuncGion-Mr. Bacon on the Deep
Creek Railway Project.

The announcement made by THE HERALD
that General Manager Resseguie would be
succeeded by w. H Bancroft, made a
decided sensation in railway circles yester-
day, and there were many coniectures as
10 where the AK would fall next. There is
considerable jubilaticn among the friends
OF MIR Bancroft, who seem glad to know
that he will remain here, but there are
many who condemn the manner in which
the change was made. 1t now transpires
That Mr.. Resseguie knew nothing of the
fact that his removal was contemplated
until Mr.. Bancroft walked into the office
on the first day of the month and presented
the following New Years gift:
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL, MANAGER OF
THE UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM

MY DEAR SIR-I feel compelled to make a

MI Bancroft such information and assistance
as VIII be OF service TO him and the railway

1t Broke His Nerve.

Samuel Adams Bean, late of Boston, sat
In his cell in a New York prison sentenced
70 death. He had borne the events of the
trial and the sentence with unmoved coun-
senance, but when the chaplain handed
him the newspaper containing the account
of his sentence and his eye fell upon the
headline ITO Be Electrocuted,' he SILVER
ed, then covered his agonized face with his
hands and wept.
"At lastl" murmured the chaplain, and
when the prisoner had recovered somewhat
mis- composure, 81 am glad" he said, Ito
find your heart softened and that you
realize to some extent your terrible situa-
ton and the enormity OF your crime"
Sir" said Samuel Adams Bean, late of
Boston, sit was not my situation or the
enormity of my crime which SO unnerved
me, but to find the name of Samuel Adams
Bean, late of Boston, coupled with such a
word as electrocuted. 1t is a barbarism,
sir, that shocked my soul and moved my
spirit to its profoundest depths Pray let
us dismiss the subject Chicago Times.

"A GREAT RAUKoAnn

BY the purchase of the Chicago & Allan
tic railway the Erie system" obtains its
own line between Chicago and New York,
being the only line which operates under
one management railroad between those
points. The Importance of this step will
readily be seen when one thinks of the re-
suits. Solid through trains running on the
tracks of one company, the entire distance
and that too, under one management.
Passengers by this line can now feel as
sured that they will not be subject to the
annoyances so common on a trip where two
or more lines are used, namely: changing
cars, missing connections, getting on the
wrong train at points where changes are
made, etc. These advantages which the
Erie route has over all others is rapidly
making it the favorite line between Chicago
and New York. Parties having this or any
other trip east in view, or who have
friends coming west, should write to the
Erie Office in Chicago and obtain full in
formation as to the above.

NYE'S LITTLE JOKE.
How He Turned the Tables on
the Boys.
THE SAD STORY OF HIS PARD.
Uncovering the Remains for the Dedication
OF SorrOwful and Sympathizing Friends
"A Wierd Experience.

They were sitting in the lobby of
Young's reading the papers and enjoy
ing their cigars. One was middle
aged, pleasant faced man, who was read
ing Bill Nye, and chuckling softly to
himself as he read. His evident enjoy
ment pleased the other members of the
little group, and they began to smile.
Finally the middle aged man finished
his story and tossed the paper aside with
a laugh. Then he turned to his neigh
Dor and said:
81 always make it a point to read Bill
Nye's letters every week. They ALWAYS
amuse me, and never read one without
thinking of the first time I ever saw Bill.
1t was in little western mining camp.
was then looking after some mining
interests, and | guess Bill was there for
the same purpose. At any rate he was
there. Well, the only common meeting
place In the camp was the barroom of
the rough board shanty that served for
hotel. Bill was in the habit of stroll
ing in there of an evening with the rest
of the fellows. He was tall and lank,
and awkward as a young calf, and the
men used to chaff him numerically.
He always bore it good naturally, and
had very little to say.

games going on, when Nye walked in
and took seat in corner. The bows
began to joke and chaff him as usual.
but he paid no attention, and finally
bent over and rested his face in his
hands with terribly sorrowful air.
Pretty soon tear trickled down his
cheek. That changed things at once.
One of the men touched him on the
shoulder and said: What's the matter,
pard? You mustn't mind our chin. We
didn't have no intention of hurting your
feelings
"Bill shook his head sadly and said:
No, faint that. It's my .pard, Door
John. Poor, poor John! My best friend
has turned up. His spirit departed an
hour ago.
''Well, the boys were a good deal
taken aback. Bills pard was a tender
foot by the name of John Slower, who
had come out for his health as much
as dust. He was there IN the barroom
the night before, and of course we were
surprised to hear that he'd passed in his
checks. Somebody proposed that we 90
over and see the remains, so we formed
a little procession, and Bill led the way.
"When we reached the little shanty
Bill pushed open the door, struck light,
and led US to the bed. He pulled back
thu blankets and pointed to big empty
demijohn lying there. There said he,
is the body of my poor old pard. His
spirit has fed
Nobody else had a word to say. We
just marched back to the barroom, and
if Bill Nye didn't get full that night he
had pretty strong head. And he didn't
have to pay for any liquor all the time
he staid in that camp" Boston Herald.

Our Pleasant Grove correspondent,
under date of the 1st inst, writes as fol-
lows:
ABOUT dozen passengers who left Salt
Lake via Union Pacific to spena Nav
Years with friends at American Fork and
Pleasant Grove, were "shunted'' off at
Lehi junction this morning upon the Salt
Lake d Western track. Without any
warning from the conductor or brakeman
the train moved on, leaving the passengers
by the wayside. The party were Obliged
to hire vehicles to proceed on to their des
unahon, much to their annoyance with
loss OF time and expense. This is getting
TO be too common at that point. Passen-
gers are not supposed to know whether
they are riding on the Eureka car or
through coaches, and those In charge of
trains should see that travellers are notified
at each changing station.n
