ARE SEPARATE ROADS,

Now, the Union Pacific has been in no
degree at the mercy of either the Central
or the Southern, for they had no more voice
in the control of the traffic than the Union
Pacific, or any other company whose road
made a part of the through line between
the Missouri River and the Pacific coast.
On the question Of the effect of competition
for the through traffic of the Central Pa
cific, and as Illustrating the various influ-
ences which have operated in the diversion
of traffic from the Union, ! ask the pa
thence of the committee in examining this
map. which shows in prominent colorS the
roads which compete for California traf-
fic The Union Pacific and its ally, the Chi
cago and Northwestern, are shown in red;
the Central in yellow; the Southern Pacific
ingreen. All the lines which are competitive
with the Union and Southern Pacific are
shown in blue. The lines between the Mis-
souri, River and Chicago which are neutral,
as between the Union Pacific and its COM
petitors west of the river, are shown in
green. No intelligent man, after examining
it, can justly say that the competition of
the Southern Pacific, by reason of leasing
the Central, exercises the major influence
in diverting traffic from the Union Pacific;
nor can il be said that the diversion of Cal
ifornia traffic from the Union Pacific exer-
cised the greater influence in bringing
about its present distressed condition.
Inc lines competing Tor the through
traffic are, in the order of their opening
for business, the Union Pacific. connecting

. This appointment of LII Hung Chang is
supposed to constitute a new departure in
Chinese practice, there having hitherto been
no single officer in Pekin responsible for
foreign affairs. 1t is not certain, however,
that the new Minister is independent of tho
Tsrfn9-li'Yamen, the Council which has hi
!. therlo controlled all negotiations, and in the
rcry Gazette which announces the appoint
merit, Ii Hung Chang is publicly censured
! for intrrdfng into the Summer Palace in order
to pay q visit TO the Empress Dowager. This
is SUPPOSED to be a warning to the world that
the. Envoy Extraordinary is not yet restored
: to full favour, hut il is more probably an in
dication that China is now, as ever, governed
by meaningless etiqnettes, against which LII
had in SOME way or other seriously offended.
We expect no, change in China who ever is
supposed to be in power.

MICHIGAN ALL RIGHT.

The Republicans claim Michigan as a
doubtful safe, but T.. M. Patterson, of
Denver, says: -+..-
II have not an atom OF doubt about Bry-
an carrying Michigan, and I have just got
through with a practical canvass of the
state, spending eight days in the south
ern and west central portion OF 1t, making
speeches and talking with men Of all polit-
les and every station. Michigan is for
BRYAN and is for him with heart and en-
phas;s."
He was asked for the reason for the faith
that was in him, and he said:
"There is the most perfect and sincere
fusion in that state between Democrats,
Populists and Prohibitionists for Mr..
Bryan. These elements have all united
upon a single state and electoral ticket,
ard they are also one in nearly every
congressional and legislative district in
the state. Not all the Prohibit.onists, but
tive-sixths of them, nor all the Democrats,
but. 80 per cent of them, with the solid
Populist phalanx, are for the ticket. They
alone, other conditions being normal,
would win the state. But conditions are
not normal; on the contrary, the Nc
Kinley ranks are in state of dissolution.
Take the state over, and not less than 10
per cent Of the heretofore reliable Repub-
lican voters have openly and detiantly LEFT
the party, and they are coming out OF 1t in
constantly increasing numbers, as the real
aims of gold are made clear"

The New Orleans Morning Star says:
Most Rev. Archbishop, ireland has
deemed it expedient to give. expression to
his views on the political questions which
occupy the public mind at the present
time. This is privilege which every
citizen has, but whether an expression Of
opinion at this time and this political
struggle coming from one Of the Amer
lean Hierarchy is quite the correct thing
is another question. Many have, criti-
cized him; this is another privilege which
citizens have. Archbishop Ireland aoccu-
pies high position in the church, he is
progressive, learned, fearless, perhaps he
is leader of advanced questions, still
withal he is a priest, and if uhe church in
this country is to be kept separate from
the state, then we say hands off gentle
men. We believe as His Emtnence, Car
dinal Gibbons, when asked to- give his
opinion on the situation. "No matter
which party gets in, the country is safe. "

presents the Republican view, because he

to the views of those distinguished clergy
men is such as would be accorded to other
gentlemen of high character, honorabls
motive, and superior intelligence. They.
win receive a patient and respectful hear

spoken and spoken on opposite sides.
