WILL THE CANADA PACIFIC RAIL
WAY PAYt
George M. Grant contributes
an interesting paper on the "Can
ada Pacific Railway," to The Cen
tury for October. From it we
quote the follewing: "But what
will a railway get to do in this
great sea of mountains? For
along those five hundred miles of
road on the mainland, constructed
at so enormous a cost, the popula
tion, not counting Indians and
Chinamen, is less than ten thous
and. The British Columbians
claim that a portion of the Asiatic
trade will come their way, especi
ally as the company that is build
ing the road has announced its in
tention of putting on steamers to
connect the Pacific terminus with
the ports of Japan and China; and
thcr also point to their fish, their
mines of silver and gold, and their
forests, as the complement of the
prairies of the northwest. All
their hopes and dreams cluster
around the railway, and those whom
it does not enrich will feel that
they have a right to be disappoint
ed. They ignore the fact that the
people of the northwest or any
other countiy can afford to pay
only a certain pricefor fish or
flesh, galena, gold, or anything
else, and that if it can not be sup
plied at said price it must be for
them all the same as it it were
non-existent. They fancy that the
difficulty the province has to con
tend with is not the comparatively
small amount of arable land, or
the necessity for irrigation in dis
tricts otherwise good, or the inter
vening mountains, or the canyons
that prevent river navigation, or
the cost of transportation, or the
great distances, but simply the
presence of somo thousands of in
dustrious Chinamen. If China
men could only be kept out white
people would come in, and wages
would go up and keep up. Good
prices would then be obtained for
everything, and every one could
live comfortably."
eration in the Rouraelia affair.
The sultan has been knocked down
and robbed at the threshhold of
his house, but he must be patient,
and of all things he must not think
of pursuing the thief, lest some of
the latter's influential friends may
make his cause their own. The
advice may commend itself to the
common sense of the Ottoman
government as a choice of immi
nent evils, but whether further
spoliation be invited by submis
sion or by resistance in this case,
it will inevitablvcome.
A xew species of bear has been
discovered on Mount Shasta which
is found in no other part of the
world. It is about the size of a
shepherd dog, is white and very
ferocious. Three have been killed
lately.
A new phase of female suffrage
has appeared in Boston. Both the
Protestant and Catholic ladies, to
the number of a couple of thou
sand, have registered and propose
to vote for rival candidates for
school directors.

Science, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, as leadily serves an evil as
a good purpose, and is as pliable
to do injury as to work benefit to
mankind. Here is a fellow, now,
has invented an intricate and deli
cate machine which will register a
dream or record a Gnore with equal
facility, and with a positiveness
warranted not to err. In his ap
plication for a patent the malign
inventor is at some needless
trouble to explain the uses to
which this instrument of exquisite
terror may be put, alarming the
guilty world and horribly confus.
ins the modest. He declares this
machine, which is a sort of charged
battery, can be placed in the room
with the sleeper, or in the room
adjoining, for that matter, and, by
means of a wire connecting the
bed of the unconscious victim with
the infamous apparatus, ever' pass
ing fancy, every vagrant thought,
every fugitive image of the brain
will be caught and imprisoned on
the prepared manuscript of this
uncanny invention, ready for in
spection in the cold, formal glare
of the coming day. The inventor
is a man of the name of Baker,
who hails from Oregon, and the
devilish ingenuity recommends
him to rank with the most iniqui
tous inquisitor of medieval Spain.
That his wits were set to work to
accomplish a deliberate villany ap
pears cleaily enongh in his saying
how valuable will his machine be
to lovers and newspaper men, the
two classes of all others most
troublesome to mental peace with
out demoniac aids. If, as he says,
this diabolism, which winds up
like a clock, can extract from the
slumbrous brain the secrets of the
mind, and has so nice a discrimin
ating power that it can distinguish
dreams from nightmares, and
snores from snorts, what hideous
consequences may not come to
drive the sane earth mad.
The present crusade against the.
Chinese is the inevitable result of
present quiet times, scarcity of
money and work. It is simply a
case of cause and effect. Were
times easier and money plentier
we would not hear of any such
crusades as those recently inaug
urated in Tacoma, Seattle and
Butte City. "We have no one but
ourselves to blame for the pres
ence of the Chinaman and the true
way to make him go away is to
totally abstain from encouraging
him to remain. His presence is
unanswerable argument for the
existence of a demand that he
supplies. If we do not employ
him he will go. If we make it an
object for him to remain by giv
ing him work he will stay and no
mass meeting or crusade or vio
lence can alter these inexorable
facts.
Disastrous floods, covering
an ai ca of 3,500 square miles, have
devastated all the largest and
most populous of the twelve main
divisions of British India. A great
amount of property has been de
stroyed, and a number of lives
have been lost. Manv families
have been made destitute. Crops,
cattle and portable goods of ev
ery description have been carried
awav. The government authori
ties are distributing provisions and
clothes, and are doing all they can
to relieve sufferers. False Point,
which was thought to have been
the best harbor between Calcutta
and Bombay, safe, roomy and ac
cessible to all ships, was struck by
a storm wave on the 22d inst., and
swept so completely that most of
the inhabitants perished.
Natural gas was discovered on
L. T. Thompson's farm, at Sum
ner, W. T., last Tuesday, three
miles distant from the oil well at
Elhi, where the Tacoma company
have been at work for several
weeks.

ful advertising says: "Let no suc

if ho wishes to continue business,
that the patronage which he has
secured will keep him unless he
sticks to advertising. Once let
him drop it and business will drop
him. His old customers, missing
his familiar name amongst con
temporaries in the same trade, will

Talking of the recent Northern
Pacific election, the St. Paul l'i-
oneer Press says the result "means
that no faction found itself strong
enough to attempt to carry out its
particular programme against the
others. The Oregon Railway and
Navigation lease was not even dis
cussed, which means that it will
bo consummated, and that work on
the Cascade division will not be
pushed with precipitation."

Beet sugar has overtaken and
passed its only rival, cane sugar.
The estimated supply for the com
ing crop year is 5,505,000 tons,
while of cane the yield is estimated
at 2,100,000 tons. Of the total
amount, 4,G05,000 tons, the United
States will probably consume
about one-fourth.
