CONTROL OF
CANADIAN
Purchase by Americans is Entirely
Possible Nothing to Prevent Any
body From buying Stock.
MontkkaIii Feb. H. T. G. 6hflueti
petty, president of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, was nuked lat niitht hat he
tlioughtof the possibility of the Canadian
Pacific being acquired by a powerful
combination of United State? caDital ns
wh stated in the course of the debate on
the government ownership of railways
in the house of commons.
'Ob, it is quite possible," observed
Mr. Hiaughnesey. "There i nothing
whatever to prevent American capital
ists, if they have got the money, from
baying the stock of tlie Canadian Pacific,
which 1" for suloin London and Montreal
and IScriin and other continental
bourses. Having acquired the stock,
there i nothing to prevent them from
controlling tlie policy of the company
and exercising their control for the ad
vancement of United Plates interests."
"What doyou think, Mr. Shatikibneesy,
of the suggestion that in order to prevent
this the government should itself ac
quire possession of the Cxnatmn Pnciflc
hud other railways matt rial to the pros
perity uf Canada, which are now owned
by companies?"
"Well," obterved Mr. Shauhnessy,
"speaking frankly, I think it would be
infinitely better, if the government in
tends to take up seriously the business
ol railroading, that the public money of
this country should be invested in the
acquisition of such railways as the
Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk,
than that it should be watted in the
subsidizing and construction of useless
lines. We have had ton much wasting
of public money in the paet for the
building of railways, which are not only
the most uselees, but are positively in
jurious, inasmuch as they cripple the
lines which are already built. This is
very prenicious, and, ns I have said, it
would be far preferable that the govern
ment should take over the existing lines 1
t ban that they should build new Hues to I
compete with them."
"Do you think there it likely to l
which would purchase the Canadian
Pacific railroad stock in such quantities
as would give the control of Its policy to
foreigners?"
"That is hard to say." said the preel
dent, with a laugh. "I have not heard
of any who are anxious to do so ns vet."
Hy War Wan C'mi.ril by n Itooli,
Ct.fcVEi...n, O., Feb. H. F. Hopkin
son Smith, the well-known author and
lecturer, recently declared that Mrp.
btowe'a famous book, "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," 19 vicious and harmful in its
effect upon its readers. In an interview
yesterday itithis city, Mr. Smith re
peated the statement, and gives the
following as his reasons :
"because it paints an absurd, false
picture of the conditions of the South be
lore itie war. 1 tie nook would have us
ueiieve mat trie southern people were
brutes, who tracked slaves with blood
hounds and flayed their negroes with
the lash. It ie a hook which divides our
country into halves and paints the
people of the north side of tho dividing
line as angels anil those on the south
side a; brutes and miscreants. A book
like that ia harmful.
"I not onlv believe that the book did
much to bring on the Civil war, but
ueiieve it is doing much to keep open
the hieach between the North and the
South. I think it is wrong that our
young people should read and venerate
that book as a true picture of American
life south of ttie Mason and Dixon line.
Tlie performance of the play as adopted
from the book is just as harmful.
"The book 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' pre
cipitated the war of the rebellion. John
Brown's raid made it inevitable."

A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound to
the affected parts is superior to any
plaster. When troubled with lame back
or pains in the side orchest, give it a
trial and you are certain to be more

which it affords. Pain Balm also cures
rheumatism. One application gives re
