The hard times extend into Canade, and
this, together with the fact that the domin-
ion government is no longer helping the
Canadian Pacific railroad to pay dividends
on its stock accounts for the unexpected
passing of the current dividend. NO ram oad
in North America has been 80 powerfully
assisted by government as this road, and lis
present failure to make a return to stock

There will be no mourners in Washing
ton among the newspaper correspondents
at the political funeral of Senator Dolph.
Dolph will be remembered here chiefly for
the fact that he led the senate in the cru
SADIE against the newspaper men that
has resulted in the indictment of a few in
dividuals who refused to tell ''the honor
able, the senate" where they got informa-
ton published in the newspapers. There
had been, in the spring of 1892, frequent
and full reports OF executive sessions
OF the senate. Dolph entertained, or pre-
tended to entertain, the belief that the
newspaper correspondents crept into the
yentilators or over the roof of the senate
chamber or listned at the keyholes of the
closed room to near what was said, or got
tips from employees of the senate. The cor
respondents who were before Dolph's COM
mittee OK investigation could have told
him that they derived all their informa-
ton about executive sessions from the
senators who participated in them, if they
had chosen to do so, and could have named
the senators, but they did not offer to do
this James Rankin Young, once the chief
executive clerk of the senate, will derive
some satisfaction from the outcome OF the
Oregon election. Mr.. Dolph, on April IL,
1872 voted with twenty-nine other senators
to dismiss Mr.. Young from place he had
held honorably for many years, which he
had not forfeited by any misconduct. He
was accused OF revealing the secrets OF the
senate. and opportunity to make q defense
was denied him, and Dolph voted with the
majority that vacated his office. 1t was a
disgraceful proceeding, unworthy of the
senate or OF any decent body of men.
Young a scapegoat for the leakineSS of SEN
atorS. Mr.. Young had many warm friends
in the senate at the time and q host OF
friends out of it. He has them yet. Those
who voted against the majority which
Dolph helped to make stiil hold Young in

man: Dolph is d dead senator, or will be
In few days.
