sTATEsMANsHIp AND .LUCK.Y
Irons University Logic Received
with Rude ScOrn.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
We quote the following from the editorial
columns of the Indianapolis News:
Was ever there party as lucky as the
Republican party? Once again it will pose
as the great manufacturer of prosperity.
If the Republicans had won in 1892 We
should have had our panic just the same,
and then it would have been charged to
the Republican party and the Nc Kinley
law. But the Republicans got out from
the panic, and now they are getting in on
the business revival Luck is great
thing"
This view of history and current events
is rather novel, to be sure; but it explains
many things. 1t is remarkable that this
discovery has not been made before. 1t is
so simple; fully equal to the situation.
Yet this is the way with nearly all great
revelations. The old. blind world goes
tumbling and blinking in darkness, until
the finger of genius tears the veil apart
and let's the light in. NOW that we come to
think of it, realize that the Republican
party is a very lucky party. There is the
amDlest evidence for this, if we accept the
Hoosier theory. great many people, in
their short-sightedness. have been disposed
to give that party credit for suppressing
the rebellion and welding the several States
together in an indestructble Nation. But
that was luck; sheer luck. Abraham Lin
coin was accident Ulysses s. Grant
was another Seward and Sumner. too
they were instances of that extraordinary
luck which somehow put men of brains
and conscience and consummate power in
the forefront of Repubiicanism.
Then there was the unprecedentedly rapid
payment OF the war QeDt-Wntcn Demo-
cratic newspapers and foreign financiers
declared never could be paid in dollars as
good as gold Luck again. And the re-
sumption of specie payments by Secretary
Sherman in 1S79-still more luck. No states

An AII~Canadian Road.

QUEBEC, Canada, Aug. "a novel
scheme is proposed for an all-Canadian
route to the Klondike country to prevent
the riches of that country finding their
way to American territory and to enable
the people of eastern Canada to compete
with the Pacific coast for the trade of the
Yukon mining district. The proposal is
simply for railway to Moose Factory, at
the foot of James bay, and for line of
steamers thence to the western end of
Chesterfield inlet, a distance of 1900 miles.
The rest of the journey would be mainly
by the Mackenzie and Yukon rivers, and
1t is estimated that in summer it could be
made in seven days from Toronto The
late managing owner of line of steamers
on the great lakes has examined the re-
ports as to the waterways through Great
Slave lake and the Mackenzie and Yukon
rivers, and offers to undertake to equip the
route with a new style of steamers, which,
while spacious and economical, would de-
VeIop a reliable speed or twenty miles an
hour in slack water. A model of an ice
boat has been prepared for winter naViga-
ton of these waters.
The plan for reaching Hudson bay is the
construction of a railway from Missanabie
to Moose Factory, to be operated by cleo
tricity furnished by the water power of the
Moose river. The whole scheme is being
rapidly got into tangible shape, to be sub
mitted 10 the governments of Ontario and
of the Dominion, with the usual demands
for public subsidies. The proposed route to
Hudson bay is disputed by Quebec, which
is DESTROYS of securing the western cOnnec-
ton for itself and having already construct
ed railway to Lake st. John, to within
300 miles of James bay, is ready, with a
certain amount of government aid to ex-
tend it to Moose Factory by way of the
valley of the AshuamOuchouan river. Be
tween Hudson bay and the Yukon the only
piece of railway that it will be necessary
to construct is 200 miles between the head

lake.
