Dominion politics.
In the winter Of ls89-70. Sir CHARLES
TuppER concentrated his attention on the
Northwest. making n personal study OF the
territories which he desired to see included
in the Dominion, a desire which, by his
strenuous cooperation with Sir JOHN MAC
DONALD, was accomplished. No member
Of the Conservative party was a more Wig
orous supporter Of the protective policy to
which Canada ives the development Of her
native manufactures. To him. also, tho
Dominion is largely indebted for the deep
ening OF Canadian canals to fourteen feet,
and for tho construction of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. For the completion Of
that transcontinental line--a remarkable
achievement, when the back wardness of

the railway runs is kept in view

Commissioner of the Dominion in London,
Sir CHARLES UPPER helped to negotiate
treaties that were concluded by Great
Britain with the United States and France,
and to secure the financial cooperation of
the Imperial Government in the Pacific and
Atlantic steamship project, and in the Pacific
cable. Passing In 1895 from power into
Opposition. he accepted the verdict of the
people with equanimity, admitting, what of
course he could not deny. that the electorate
had the right TO make a change il ii desired,
and that it was but proper that both parties
should have a chance to serve the State. o
So much for political services that will be

of course, different opinions, and the voters
Of the Dominion will soon have an opportu-
nifty of passing judgment upon il. There
Is no doubt about his physical ability to dis
charge the duties of high Office, should he
be called upon 10 resume them. Notwith-
standing the hard campaigning in which he
has been employed for nearly half a CEN
fury, he ia a man of surprising vitality and
vigor; indeed. according to those who know
him best, he is rs strong as he was forty
years ago.

SWAMP LAND DRAINAGE
JUDGE BAKER DECIDES THAT THE
WORK MAY CONTINUE.
Fifteen Days Granted for Preparation
of an Appeal to Circuit Court
of Appeals.

The drainage Of the Kankakee swamp
lands in Eaporte county may continue I'M
h.ndered, according to a decision rendered
by United States Judge Baker, sitting as
circuit judge in chambers yesterday after
rcon in the chancery suit brought by the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company of New
York and William N. Jackson, of Indianap-
oils, trustees under the mortgage executed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
against John McAndrews, a contractor. The
railroad company sought to restrain Nc
Andrews from constructing what is known
as the Machlin drain, which it was alleged
will extend under and across the company's
right of way and seriously interfere with
lis operations as a common carrier.
The case was based on the Interstate
commerce law and also upon the section Of
the federal Constitution prohibiting the
taking of property without due process Of
law. The railroad company alleged that
when the Laporte Circuit Court ordered the
building of the drain by its duly designated
commissioner, under whose authority the
defendant McAndrews is doing the work, it
refused to decide either that the railroad
company would be damaged by the con-
struction of the drain, or that the company
ha6 any rights at all in the matter, or to
assess the amount OF It's damages, III the
evidence should show hat any would &C.
crue.
Judge Baker listened to the reading of a
large number of affidavits filed by both
plaintiffs and defendant in the case, and
then entered an order dismissing the bill
OF complaint and granting fifteen days In
which plaintiffs may perfect their appeal
from his decision to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals. The temporary in
junction or restraining order originally
granted In the case will be allowed to stand
during the fifteen days specified, and after
| wards throughout the tendency of the APP
peal in the Court of Appeals until final
judgment is rendered.
