river. The Saskatchewan II reached
through the Red river and Lake Winnipeg.
aad once on that stream there Is an easy
route TO Edmonton for distance Of about
1000 miles. The plans are so well advanced
that a company has been formed which
has applied FOR a charter TO enable 1t
to begin the work. The distance Ia air
line Is 1.i0O miles, but the clrcuitous route
OF the proposed canal adds something IKE
300 miles to the distance. 1t will be seen
that the canal will traverse the entire
length Of the richest and most fertile
section Of The Dominion that lies east OF
the Rocky mountains and II might easily
be extended west from. Edmonton to the
mountains
II is true that the limit OF navigation
would be a serious one. for the canal
would be closed from October until the
middle of May, but II would give access to
country during the summer months that
would wonderfully develop It's resources
and furnish an outlet for more than two
thirds OF the area OF the four provinces
In the Northwest Territory that the Cana
dian Pacific railroad does not reach. III
the canal is built 1t would greatly stimu-
late the commerce of the great lakes
and be Of inestimable benefit to the large
cities on their shores. 1t would enable
Chicago to reach a large territory from
which 1t is now practically debarred.

signs of Thrift in the south.
ATLANTA Constitution)


There Is manifest throughout the South
at this time, In spite of the depression
which prevails elsewhere, distinct signs
of Industrial and commercial growth.
This happy condition of things Is due IN
part TO the wideawake and enterprising
spirit Of our people, and in part to the
varied and exhaustless resources win
which nature has endowed our soil
The Constitution has already called the
attention Of it's readers TO the gratifying
review of southern industrial conditions
which appeared recently in the New YORK
Journal Of Commerce. In line with TINS
review is the interesting comment when
one of the staff correspondents or the
Chicago Record makes upon recent ana
prospective railway development In the
South. Saws the staff correspondent;
- boom In railroad building seems TO
have struck the Southern States. The IN
dications are that the year 1888 VIII De

and sextant running lines through pam

while closely following them are graders
track-layers, and bridge-buiiders. con-
servative estimate promises 5000 miles
of new track, which is 30 per cent. more
than was constructed in the entire coun-
try last year and four times as much as
was built in the south. This activity IS
not confined to any particular section
but includes all the States south or Ma
son and Dixon's line"

BERLIN, February 26.-With the car
nivai ball on Tuesday, the seasons big
court fetes ended. At this ball, which
was attended by the whole Of the Amerl-
can embassy, and 1900 guests, court ETH
quette is always relaxed. The Emperor
chatted with the ambassadors and others
quite informally. His Majesty conversed
at length with the United States Ambas-
sador' Mr.. Andrew ID. White, and spoke
adrniringly of the children of Mrs. WI
borg niece OF Secretary sherman's.
The conversation turning upon the loss
Of the battleship Maine, his Majesty re-
marked that the disaster was doubtless
due to an unlucky accident, and not to
the work of a Spanish fanatic, adding
that all the evidence pointed that way.
An informal decree has been issued
begging the public to cease molesting
the Emperor and Empress while they
are out driving.
A decree was issued by the govern
ment on Thursday last forbidding the
future attendance of foreigners in the
machinery and Engineering Department
Of the Berlin Technical High School,
and IL has caused much CONSERVATION
among the foreign-born students in Ger
many, as 1t is believed to be the fore
runner of others, excluding them from
all similar institutions.
The American University students here
express the opinion that the government
Will shortly issue a decree restricting
the attendance at universities. As over
1000 Americans are now studying at Ger
man universities 1t will hit them hard.
The government has instructed the pro-
vincial presidents to secure expert opin-
ions as to whether the American petro-
leum sold in Germany is of insufficient
Illuminating power, and easily explosive
with a view to prohibiting its sale.

Quent occasion to use the statistics that
such a bureau would gather. When MIR.
hilyson introduced the bill there were but
eleven states In the Union that had such
departments. Since that time the number
has increased 10 thirty-six, eight OF which
are Southern States, showing conclusive
~ the value OF the bureau that has
proven so beneficial alike 20 both employ
cr and employee.
The bill was also introduced by Mr..
HARDWOOD, Of Richmond. as well as by Mr..
Julian Bryant, OF the same city.
The object OF the bin is TO bring en-
ployer and employee In closer touch. col
lect statistics In relation to all depart
mcnts Of labor penal institutions, and in
dustriai pursuits, especially in connection
with the commercial, industrial, social,
educational, and sanitary condition OF the
laboring classes; TO point out to other
states Nirglnia's superior advantages as
a manufacturing centre, and to suggest
10 the Legislature, through the Governor,
the correction Of any evils from which
they may be found to be suffering.
