Prohibition* is rapidly gaining strength in
Cauada. The Ottawa Free Pvesa does not
consider the idea chimerical that there may
be soon an enactment of Dominion Prohibi
tion throughout Canada. Every county in
the Province of Prince Edward Island en
forces local prohibition. Two thirds of the
counties in the Provinces of Nova Scotia and
New Bruaßwick do the same, and also, two
oftlie five electoral districts in Manitoba, and
the iu.liuutions are, says the Free Tress, that
before New Y^ara day a majority of the
con a this of Ontario will be subioct to local
optima. In the Northwest territories prohi
bition already prevails by statute.
({e\\ Negley, of Pittsburg, who spent two
or three days last week at Minneapolis hold
ing Gen. Logan's hat, libs got home aud
has becu telling the boys all about it. Ho
depicts the Logan enthusiasm as something
terittie. He traveled on tbe train with Lo
gan, and says that in Illinois the curs had to
be stopped several times there wern such
crowds yearning for Logan. But at LaCrosse
"Michigan," as the General states, there was
aa "immense crowd attixs depot with a
bund." The eminent Negley is as much
awry in his geography as Logan is in gram
mar, lie tells the boys he "never witnessed
anything so grand before," which shows
that he has had never traveled with a circus j
to any extent.
Mb. Cox.\';.i-\(i, who seems to be a man
without a party, has the symptoms of joining
the Prohibition party. Only last Tuesday
Mr. Conkling attentlod a large temperance
meeting at Ocean Grove, and eat upon the
platform, and heard Hon. Geo. W. Bain of
Kentucky. Iv the course of his address Mr.
Bain sai't that a revenue raised from the
liquor traffic is at the expense of morality.
Every dollar of license money tells upon the
homes of the people. He advised all ♦<> work
for the cause, as the (Treat ti'lal wave of suc
cess would bring in all political crafts and
the out-going tide would bury tbe greatest
criminal of ages in oblivion. At the close
of the speech Mr. Conkling was particularly
prompt and cordial in congratulating Mr.
Bain.
JVDQS SPEED'S UEASONS.
The last survivor of the cabinet of Abra
ham Lincoln has written a letter stating that
he will not vote for Blame. Among his
reasons for this decision are the Republican
platform and Blame's dangerous foreign pol
icy. As to Blame's jingo policy Judge Speed
says ''no personal magnetism or brilliant sen
tences can compensate for such a blunder.
To vote for him would be like voting against
the peace aud honor of my country. I can
uot do that, even at the bidding of the Re
publican party. Then, his letter about tbe
surplus revenue is monstrous. It shows
him to be unsafe in bis views of the frame
work of our government as he is in regard
to international law. It is charitable to say
that the latter is the child of Ignorauce.for if
not it is the child of deniagogism."
In conclusion Judge Spesd advises all who
agree with him iv these views to vote with
him for the Democratic candidate.
KEIFSR'S CAMFAGN.
The Springiield Oliio, Ghbe- Republic, a Re
publicau journal published in Gen. Keifer's
district, bitterly opposes the re-election of
that gentleman to congress. It makes op
position for cause, even insinuating that the
ex-speaker U unworthy and corrupt; as if
any member of the grand old party, could
possibly be guilty of corruption or of even
innocent selfishness!
The Glubc-JtepMic charges that Kcifer
hired the services of a paper to boom Win for
nine days, at a cost of $750, and sneerinirly
remarks: "It is mournful, inexpressibly
mournful that Gen. Keiferin seeking the
endorsement of some Repupllcau politician
could do no better than to drag poor old
Columbus Delano out of his retirement."
Colombo* Delano fell with bad repute years
ago, aud -would never have been thought of
again if Keifer had not resurccted him.
This shows bow hard pushed Keifer is.
He can get no living, active, prominent Re
publican of the present day to indorse him.
The O. R. aecusts Keifer of having speakers
to boom him. and to denounce his oppo
nents, and spitefully adds:
"But when, pouring money out of his of
fice night and day, in his desperate effort for
re-election — when, purchasing this man
here, and that man there— he dares to use
his hired job- room organ for the vilest of
blackguard insinuation: and statements
then we call a halt. We herewith serve up
on General Keifer notice, sharp and short,
that if this work is to go on, then the bar
riers go down, and the record- of the inner
workings of his present campaign, of his
previous campaign, and of his career iv Con
gress, ill be for the first time truthfully pre
tented to bis constituency."
It Is positively painful to gee this lack of
harmony in any section of the grand old par
ty, and it la greatly to be feared if these in
testine wars fto on, thoir prospects will be
weakened in Ohio for October, 'and will 'con
tinue to grow worse til! November-. Keif

war measure and not in the least as a conse
quence of the prevalence of their belief, but
it is not impossible that some accident mny
in some similar way occur at the proper
moment to assist the party of prohibition.
People who thoroughly disbelieve In tbe
policy of prohibition are perfectly aware of
the existence aud the colossal dimensions of
the evils of intemperance. They know that
It is the cause of three-fourths the crime of
the country, that it is responsible for a great
portion of the poverty, and much of the va
rious other forms of suffering. They are
anxious to find some remedy, and it Is not
impossible that, in time, despairing of find
ing any satisfactory measures of relief, they
may iv sheer desperation ally themselves
w.th this new party which proposes to find
relief in the federal constitution.
There is a tending in modern philau
throphy towards a well defined socialism. It
asks the state to educate children, to furnish
asylums and infirmaries for the demented
and the pauper. Whenever any emergency
arises, the state is called on to Interfere.
Prohibition is in the same line aud although
it is not uncommon to hear the term "fanat
ic" offered to its adherents. They do not dif
fer, in principle from the great clemunt in
in society which Is everlastingly appealing to
the state in cases of difficulty. Thousands
of men of this class, who oppose prohibition
as the outcome of fanaticism, are fully In ac
cord with the principle of stat;^ interference
on which prohibition is founded, aud in I
time will be. found ranged uudcr the banners ;
of the prohibition armies.
It is not in the least a wild vaticination to
state that the prohibition party of the future
will be largely mado up of the Republican
party of the present. The latter is becoming
disintegrated. It bus no mission, It has
been runuingfor twenty years on a reminis
cence, aud mainly on a falsehood. As a
party at the outbreak of the war it was op
posed to interference with slavery in the
southern states. Emancipation came as a
necessity of the war, and since that period
Republicanism has claimed to be the party
that gave freedom to the southern slave.
This is the falsehood to which, in great part,
it has owed its*eiistence long after its mis
siou had ended. Having no further legiti
mate excuse for living it will fall apart and
become distributed among existing parties.
Iv this distribution, the prohibition will
get the greater number. Whiggisin is here
ditary in the Republican party. It has re
ceived and yet retains all the old faith in a
central power and iv the efficacy of the state.
All tho Republicans who are of whig ancestry
will gravitate towards prohibition ; all tbe
men of that party who are addicted to
''isms'' will find their way in the same di
rection. Many good men will march to re
inforce the party now led by St. John and
thousands of fool 3, fanatics, uneasy agitators,
socialists, extremists and the like will ac
company them.
While it is not likely that prohibition will
succeed iv electing a president this year
there can be no doubt that it is already a po
tential factor in the political system of tbe
country, and that it is destined to establish
an influential party. The tendency of the
age i 3 towards the dominance of tbe stato.
THE XJi If JIA YES HE VOLT.
The Republican revolt at New Haven,
Connecticut, is one of the most significant
events that has occurred since Blame's nom
ination, and ought to 6tartle, if it does not
cum man d the respectful consideration of
Blame and his followers. It is not often any
candidate is nominated for office, high or
low, whose nomination provokes the dissent
and revolt of the best element of the party
as does the nomination of Mr. Blame. A
large representation of the faculty of Tale
College* clergymen, physicians, mechanics
and offler professions and occupations, lead
ing lawyers, wholesale merchants and agents
or proprietors of six large manufacturing es
tablishments attended the meeting. So it
cannot be sneered at as a congregation of
"dudes," "slims" and "weaklings," w^iirh
are the usual terms applied by Mr. Blame's
organs to Mr. Blame's critics.
Mr. Baldwin, a leading member of the
Connecticut bar, presided. He is a gentle
man of great ability and eminence. What
he said of the "danger" involved in a Re
publican defeat by the Democracy, ought to
impress every one as characterized by great
good sense. Alter saying he would be glad
to form a new party, an American party
which would know neither North or South,
but that time had not arrived, he besought
his hearers not to be frightened by the old cry
that the country is in danger if the Republi
can party is not in power. "In danger
from whom}" he a6kcd, and added; "I am
not afraid to leave my country in the hands
of the American pco'ple. If there be danger
it comes from those who are willing to sur
render their consciences to their party."
Thus the leaders of public opinion, the
men of independent minds, honesty, pa
triotism and conscience in the Republican
ranks, spurn the nomination of Mr. Blame,
and thd movements of such men indicate a
dissolution of the derisively called "grand
old party," and are sure to seal the doom of
a candidate who has been false to honor and
integrity in his political career.and with him,
end the life of a party more conspicuous for
its later corruption, than for its earlier,
avowed attachment to correct principles.

ST. PAUL TO BOSTON
A Trip which Included One Day out of
the Country,
Aud What was Seen Both in This and Other
Lands.
[Correspondence St. Paul Globe. J
It was my fortune to journey from St.
Paul to Boston last week, and more for the
purpose of "freeing my mind" of thoughts
and scenes connected with the trip, than
with any view of especial edification, lam
about to invite the reader of these lines to
take the trip (on paper) with me. Another
reason for this display of generosity is that
the reader can take it iv this manner for a
nickel, while the actual trip might prove
more expensive both in time and money.
So with an "all aboard" to the reader, here
we go.
Taking the 9 p. m. train at the St.
Paul Union depot laet week
Wednesday night I was comfortably
whirled Ghicagowarda. Comfortable, as a
matter of course — because I was on board the
famous Omaha and Northwestern route,
which, with its elegant sleepers, its clean,
day coaches and superb dining cars makes
travel a luxury instead of discomfort and fa
tigue. On time to the minute, safe and
sound,2 i). m., Thursday, found our train at
the Northwestern depot at Chicago, and an
hour and a half later I was leaving the con
vention city behind me via the Chicago,
Montreal it Boston Air line. This
route is composed of the Grand Trunk
from Chicago to Montreal, and the
South Eastern, Passumpsic and Boston, Con
cord and Montreal lines, from Montreal to
Boston. This route, upon the hours I jour
neyed, gives the traveller a full daylight day
in Canada. You retire for the night in
America and awake in a foreign land. At
Port Huron the traveler bids farewell to his
native land for a brief season, and the train
is transported bodily by mammoth ferry boats
to Sarnia, on the Canadian side. This took
place in my case in the middle of the night
aud hence the transition was not harsh.
I awoke at Port Huron at 1 a. m.,
and- swung the curtains aside just in
timo to take a farewell view of the American
shore, but dropped asleep iv transit so that I
cannot speak of the shock or other sensation
which my arrival in a foreign land may have
produced. My recollection of Port Huron is
somewhat two-fold — first, as the jumping off
place, and second, as the home of Michigan's
statesman, Senator Conger. When I again
awoke I had been in a foreign country,
though in a somnolent condition,
long enough to be acclimated and
the morning sun looked just about the same
as though it was an American citizen. It is
very evident that the sun is no respecter of
persons, and sends its illumination such a
distance that it shines alike upon the just
and uujust, and that is the way I account for
the bright appearance of the heavens as I
drew iuto Toronto last week, and Friday
morning.
When you cross the river at Detroit and
take the Great Western road at Windsor, you
feel that you have struck a foreign country
sure enough, though you have not changed
cars. The conductors and trainmen are
English to the manor born. The station
agents, the ' depot police, the boys,
and all concerned, make you feel as
though you hud struck "John Ball and his
Islaud" amidships. I was in a frame of
mind to encounter a similar experience
when I arose from the slumber of the just,
the Friday morning in question/ but I was
agreeably surprised to find a general air of
American civilization surrounding me and I
concluded that the international work of the
salvation army, or some other cause, was
Americanizing Canada. This idea was
made more impressive by reading
in the Toronto paper of that
date, on accouut of a chunk of the Salvation
Army being sent to goal at Hamilton, On
tario, the previous day, and another chunk
of the same army being sent to jail the same
day at Cleveland, Ohio. So honors were
easy on the salvation question both 6ides of
the line, and I drew a long breath of con
tentment.
in a:<d abound tokoxto.
The first thing that' attracted my especial
attention on approaching Toronto was a
mammoth brick building, five stories high
and perhaps 800 feet long, pleasantly loca
ted in spacious grounds.
"What building is that*" I asked the por
ter of the car.
"The Mercy Reformatory for Women,"
was the reply. -
I was meditating upon the wickedness of
a country which required such a mammoth
building to reform its women, and at the
same time reflecting upon the munificence
of the public, which, doubtless in view of the
requirements of. society, provided such a
comfortable a^bode for those needing refor
mation, when, mercy on us, another large
building came in view. This
building was surrounded by a high stone
w»ll, upon the top of which guards were pac
ing with muskets at shoulder arm 9. This
proved to be a "reformatory for men,"
called in vulgar parlance a penitentiary.
Then I knew I was in a foreign land. I tried
to drop a tear in memory of .my own be
loved country, and at the same time breathe
a sigh of commiseration for the wickedness
of the country in which I had landed,
requiring such mammoth institutions to re
form both sexes. It was a sort of double act
and the attempt at its execution made me
feel like applying to Barnum for a position
as double trapeze performer.
It is several years since Toronto ha 3 had
the pleasure of my presence, and I .was
strack by the marked signs of improvement
and progress. .Located on Lake Ontario, the
city has the advantage of water as
well as rail commerce, and the
numerous vessels at the docks
testified to the extent and importance of the
lake traffic. It is ninety years since Toronto
was founded, but it required thirty-eight of
those years to reach a population of 2,800.
This seems rather slow progress in these
modern times, but that was before the era of
railroads and telegraphs, and people who
lived in those days must wish to be born
again,' for a few days at least, just to see how
much better off their grandchildren are
than they used to be. Besides,
Toronto received a black eye during the
war of 1812 when it was twice captured by
! the Americans and its public buildings ail
burned. It is fifty years since it was first
he >rporateJ as a city and during that time
it has grown to a population of 90,000; of
this number 40.000 have been secured
during the past 13 years. It is no wonder,
with this record of progress, that Toronto
wore an American rather than* an English
air. . It has six railroads in addition to its
various lake lines of steamers, and shows
its dvilatioa by supporting 50 churches.
The Canadian Pacific road, not content
with giving St. Paul a second Pacific rail
road, sets new worlds to conquer, and only a
month since opened a line from Toronto to
Montreal via Ottawa, the capital of the Do
minion. As we rolled into the Grand Trunk,
! Toronto depot, numerous cars marked '•Cana
; dian Pacific' gave me a home feeling.
. One of the things which attracted my at
i tention at the depot was a large case . filled .
with glass . jars, ', the jars •: contain
; ing sample* of grain and other products, the
whole surmounted with this inscription: '
"Nebraska Productions. _

an incentive to forswear hlg allegiance to the
Queen and come over to tbe land where he
enn vote for Cleveland and Hendrlcks, un
less he prefers Blame, St. John, Ben Butler,
or some one else. The temptation must be
greut, and undoubtedly not a few embrace
it. They certainly have been drawn to the
famous Red River valley, though I saw no
such attractive invitation in that direction as
Nebraska supplied. Perhaps Mr. Powers
had better go over to Toronto and put up a
companion sigu for the St. Paul & Manitoba
road.
In buying a paper at the depot news stand
the boy gave me a Canadian silver coin with
a hole in it. I demurred a little to this pro
cedure when lie explained by saying, "we
don't take American silver with holes, at its
face, but we do our own money. That Is
just as good with a hole as without it." Not
being a citizen of the country he supplied me
with a sound coin- while I reflected what a
huge gag this discount on coins with holes
has grown to be. It originated with
a 6harp fellow at St. Louis
who got out a card with a
scale of discounts for punched coin and
went around to the saloons aud retail stores
and sold his cards at ten cents each, telling
them that this was in accordance with "the
new law." Now, there is no law, and has
been no law on the subject, but St. Louis
people didn't know the difference, and in a
week's time the fellow had reaped a big har
vest of dimes, and punched coin stood be
low par in that city. The game worked so well
in St. Louis that it was extended to other cities
and the sale of the discount schedule went
on until tbe matter spread over the whole
country. It was nearly a year before the
new dodge permeated the cast. I remember
wheu it began in St. Paul I declined to ac
cept it, but it finally became too universal to
stem the tide. So, too. with the trade dollar.
I found them passing at par in New York
city eighteen months after they had been at
a discount in the west, and it is only within
a few months that New York has joined the
west in the trade dollar crusade.
TOUOXTO TO MOXTUEAL.
Torouto to Montreal, a distance of 333
miles, occupies from 8:30 a. m. to 7p. m.
The halts made by the train upon which I
journeyed were not numerous, but they were
made decently and in order.and the delibera
tion of the railroad people, as well as of the
public, was in marked contrast to the rush
ing American style where the train rushes up
to a station, those who are going away run
and jump on board, and before they
are fairly seated away the train flies again.
The majority of the stops were made for five
minutes, in many cases there being con
necting roads at the halting places. The
people at the stations were in no hurry. They
bid their friends good bye in a lesiurely
style, attended to baggage with as much de
liberation as an American truckman handl
ing freight aud their whole air seemed to say
"there's no Lurry." The station agent
with his bell reminded mo of yie boyish foot
race plan where the umpire gives the word
by counting,
One to begin,
Two to show,
Three to make ready,
And four to go.
The station agent rings a first bell to make
ready, and a second one "to go."
The train runs sufficiently fast between
stations to allow for this circumlocution, much
of the run uing being at forty miles an hour,
and none under thirty. The steel rails and
■well ballasted track made it necessary to
time the train by the mile posts to realize the
rate of speed.
As I was in a through car from Chicago to
Boston my companions were all Americans
and I amused myself by walking through the
day coaches where I found "John Bull and
his Island" together with a fair sprinkling of
Canadian French in all their glory. It was
very entertaining to me to step from "tone
car to the other and note the contrast between
the two classes of people. I have no doubt
they are just as happy and contented as we
are and consider their country superior to.
all others as they ought to, but the contract
was entertaining nevertheless.
I was surprised to note the level surface of
the country through which the Grand Trunk
runs from Toronto to Montreal. I do not
recall a single deep cut or heavy fill the en
tire distance, and though Canada is not re
garded as a prairie country the route of this
railroad has the benefit of prairie conditions
so far as grading is concerned. The coun
try has, of course, au old and settled look,
many portions greatly resembling Ohio, and
the rocky sections reminding one of Connec
ticut and Massachusetts. The rail fence,
the standard fifty or a hundred years ago pre
dominates with only occasional board fences
and once in a while that modern infliction —
barbed wire. It was evidently "haying
time" in Canada on the day of my ride and
that was about the only industry I could see
in progress. They have mowing machines,
but in other repects they work in the old
fashioned way, which was in vogue when
"you and I were boys." The pitchfork
spreaders, the baud rakers making the long
winrows were there in all their glory. In
the multitude of hay fields we passed I saw
but one horse rake in operation the
entire day. The one horse
carts upon which the hay was loaded
were an institution peculiar to the country,
and were the only exclusively original mat
ter I could discover in connection with Ca
nadian haying. The shady nooks where the
worm rail fences ran beneath trees afforded
convenient depots for jugs of water (of
course it was water) and in several iu stances
I noticed the hay fielders leisurely assuaging
their thirst. But this is neither new or
novel. I think I can remember having
seen boys on a hot summer day require an
hour to visit a shady fence corner in a &ma!l
meadow to get a drink, and if the
shade was produced by a fruit tree,
be the fruit ever so unripe, the thirst quench
ing interval would be prolonged. I rather
sympathized with the fence corner boys in
those Canadian meadows, and commend
them for adhering to the traditions of their
fathers, which 'was to spend as much time
quenching thirst and eating melons as pos
sible and as little as possible making hay in
the hot sun. There are some things
which the growth of the country and the ad
vancement of civilization doeß not require
to be changed and the lazy way of permitting
the sun to do most of the haymaking, while
the boys loaf in the fence corners,
was handed down to posterity by the Puritan
Fathers and I honor them for it. The Puri
tan Father on the other shore ought to look
down for up) with pleasure on the small boy
sweating in a hay field, aud feel thankful
that he had tbe opportunity to invent a shady
fence corner where the small boy can
loaf two-thirds of the day on the pretence
that he needs several barrels of water to
quench his thirst.
The first town of consequence I found
after leaving Toronto was Port Hope, 63
miles distant, a small city boasting some
thing over 5,000 population. Coburg with its
6,000 population and Belleville with 9,000
are passed and we halt at Kingston. We
have been skirting the banks of Lake
Ontario all the morning but here the train
reaches the St. Lawrence, and pleasure
geeking travelers leave to take the sail down
the river and inspect tbe famous "thousand
island*," which are scattered from Kingston
to Brockville, a distance of fifty miles.
There are really nearer 2,000 than 1,000
islands, and lam surprised at tbe spirit of
conservative regard for the truth
which led to the collection being
named, "Tbe Thousand Islands," in
stead of "Thousands of Islands."
These islands vary in size from little clumps,
of rocki and boshes to those of several acres
and tbe few I caught sight of from the train
were chiefly of the former description. Per
haps the sojourner of truth who invented the
name for the collection concluded the little
clamps were too small Ut count, and hence
preferred to rest his reputation for accuracy
on the number of islands that do not need to
be bunted up with a telescope.
Kingston rejoices in being over 200 years
old, and was fought over and übout by
French, English and Indians in early times
uutil it became a historic spot. Tbe city,
however, bears evidence that twenty years of
the present time counts more for progress
than a former century, and the place looks
quite fresh and progressive. I saw at the
depot here a placard reading, "Be sure to
see your Northern Pacitic tickets are via Bt.
Paul."
IN AND ABOUT MONTREAL.
It was just about sundown when the train
drew into the venerable city of Montreal.
The brief halt (less than an hour) compelled
me to take in what I could of Montreal on
the fly. I have always imagined Montreal
as an exceedingly old and tumble down ap
pearing city. The site of Montreal is on an
island thirty miles long by ten wide and it is
now 350 years since the first white
man discovered it. It was then occupied
as an Indian village, showing that the
savage, even, had an intuition that here
was the place to locate a town. It
was 240 years ago Montreal was first settled
by the French and *-hen the English cap
tured it 117 years later the population had
only reached 4,000. The city has seen many
vicissitudes of war and peace, and just a
century ago — less one year — was captured by
the American forces under Gen. Montgom
ery. Now ocean and river steamers lie at her
wharves, railroads penetrating all parts of
Canada and the United States center here
and a city of over 150.000 people occupies
the island. Two-thirds of the growth ha s
been within the past fifty years and hence
my "venerable ideas" must have been the
outgrowth of the age of Montreal in history,
rather than the actual age of the buildings of
the city.
The depot accommodations I found as inad
equate as those of St. Paul and the passenger
sheds just about as primitive. Iv both cases
these sheds are more worthy of the era 350
years ago when Jacques Cartier first visited
Montreal than to-day. I shall never be happy
until the St. Paul Union Depot company
raises sufficient steam to erect a mammoth
arched roofed building,within which a dozen
trains can concentrate at a time, to take the
place of those unsightly sheds, where pass
engers are exposed to wind, rain and snow
in taking the train.
As I stepped out of the depot for a hasty
stroll about the city the first thing that at
tracted my attention was the heavy one horse
carriages of the hackmen. They reminded
me of the parson's "one hoss shay." They
are nearly as heavy as the public carriages of
this country, many of them accommodating
four full grown persons besides the driver,
and none of them less than three. There
were probably twenty-five of these single
horse vehicles on the hack stand uear the
depot, and as I walked up and down inspect
ing the animals, I did not see oue which
was not a fit subject for Bergh's considera
tion and commiseration.
It is claimed that Father Hennepin first
discovered both Niagara and St. Anthony
falls. As I strolled about Montreal I con
cluded it must have been Father Hennepin
who laid out the streets both in Montreal
and St. Paul. It certainly must have been
the same n:an,for they are as like as two peas.
As near as I have been able to ascertain, the
width of the streets in these two cities was
obtained by the distance a Frenchman could
jump, the space covered by the jump being
taken for the width of the street from curb
to curb. Perhaps if these street jumpers
could talked English it would have
made them more elastic, or if they had
taken a "run and jump" our streets
might have been wider, but land
was very scarce and valuable in those days,
and hence the early settlers were obliged to
be prudent and not employ very athletic
young men to lay out the streets. 1 found
on reading the Montreal papers that they
speak of their streets as "lanes," and I
thought I recognized the eternal fitness of
things. St. Paul too is a city with "lanes"
instead of streets.
Naturally, Montreal has some old sections,
but there is so much that is modern about
the city thai the visitor soon forgets the
years which have elapsed since
it was founded Both here and at
Toronto the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion have erected elegant buildings, a step
which the enterprising city of St. Paul has
not yet been able to take. Here too I found
the largest church this side of the Atlantic
ocean. It is a monster building, 2(50 feet
long by 140 wide and it is claimed it will
hold ten thousand people. It has two towers
like our Assumption church, only much more
massive and 350 feet in height. I regretted
that my limited time did not allow me to as
cend one of these towers, for the view there
from must be grand in its immensity.
One of these towers contains a
chime of bells and the other
a single bell weighing 30,000 pounds, which
Is sulHcicutly sonorous to reach the oars of
the most distant member of the French
Parish church. The Bank of Montreal, with
its $18,000,000, can undoubtedly afford to
have a fine building, and its edifice is about
the most handsome in the city. Adjoining
the bank is a comfortable but not pretentious
building, which is occupied by the Canadian
Pacific railroad for their main oflices. The
postoffice on the other side of the Bank of
Montreal is, like all public buildings erected
under English rule, a masslTe and sub
stantial affair. The Bank of Montreal is the
institution of which Gco. Stephen, former
president of the Manitoba road, and now
president of the Canada Pacific, was presi
dent. Mr. Angus, the former vice presi
dent of the road, was general manager of the
bank prior to his brief residence in St.
Paul.
The newspapers of Canada are very unsat
isfactory to an American. I had sought an
American paperin Toronto in vain, and again
in Montreal withont success. I bought all
of the Canadian papers I could find,
but after I had read them all I felt that
I bad passed a day "outside of the lines,"
and was anxious to learn what had hap
pened in the heart of civilization. They
ought to give a little more prominence to
American affairs in the Montreal papers,
when they recall that the building still stands
in their city where Benjamin Franklin and
bis associate American commissioners estab
lished the first printing office they ever had
in that city and in it printed their proclama
tions. Perhaps tbe Montreal people and
papers don't feel grateful to
Franklin for introducing the art of printing
in their city under such circumstances.
Perhaps that is the reason they keep their
sheets so far below the standard of American
n«o#papers. They are not entirely averse
to American style for they employed the
architect of the Palmer house at Chicago to
construct them a hotel after that pattern, and
to a very considerable extent he has done so.
Our route out of the city took the train over
the famous Victoria Bridge. Mount Royal is
an eminence, almost a mountain, upon
which a considerable portion of the city rests
and it is the contraction of those two
words, which forms the came Montreal.
As the train approached the cele
-I>erat3d bridge I looked back at the city and
the glittering multitude of lights which cov
ered Mount Royal, with twilight so clear that
outlines of buildings were plainly visible,
made it appear as though the whole city lay
before me and that I was at its baae lookibg
upward. A moment more an<F the train
reaches the bridge and I bid good bye to
Montreal.
The Victoria bridge is a magnificent speci
men of engineering skill and an institution
of which the people of Montreal may well be
proud. The bridge proper 13 a structure with
cylindrical iron tubes through which the train
passes. The tubes are a mile and a
gaarter in length, but the entire bridge with
its masonry approaches is a mile and three
quarters in length and cost seven million
dollars. As toe train shot into one of the
tubes I was once ujore ou my way to tbe laud
of the pilgrims.
i>i:i.h;iitlti. s. ISSKT.
Once more to bed, this time on Canadian
6oil, with the pleasant dream of awaking in
the United States. I had heard much of the
beauties of the scenery from .Montreal to
Boston via the South Eastern, Passumpsia
and Boston, Concord <Si Montreal railways,
but I never fully realized before what
it actually Was. To be fully appreci
ated the entire trip should be made by day
light. It was a few minutes past 8 a. in.
when I drew nsidc my sleoplng-car curtains
to view the landscape o'er. Tbe "grey dawn
was breaking," and the scene was positively
inspiring. Ido not know that any higher
tribute can lie paid to seen cry than the fact
that a half rested and sleepy individual urin ■■&
between three and four o'clock in the morn
ing to sec the country. I was that individual,
and I felt amply repaid for cutting short my
rest and sleep. The track luy alotig
the bank of the llerrimae river
and in the distance, on the other side, the
White mountains of New Hampshire loomed
up. It ha 3 not been unusual for me to see
the sun rise in Minnesota, but I accomplish,
that feat by remaining up until the orb of day
has gotten rested and started iv for a new
heat, but yon need to visit the White moun
tain region if you want to sec half a dozen
sun rises in the same morning, and be sober
all the time. At first the sun shone out full
and brilliant as though it had started in fora
full day's duty, but as the train whirled
alon,g by the bank of the beautiful river
shimmering in the early sunlight,
a mountain would intervene, shutting
out the rays entirely, and iv a few
minutes a valley between tbe mountains
would supply another sunrise as new und
fresh as though it was the first appearance of
that luminary upon any Btage. Again it
would be concealed, and again, like truth
crushed to earth, would rise again, uutil I
was bewildered with the mixture of
river, mountain and sunrises, and almost
began to thiuk that by some optical illusion
or delusion I was seeing affairs sextupule.
It was a scene worthy of fairy land.
The farms through this Merimac valley
look old but reasonably thrifty, and the New
Euirland cobble stove fence is a conspicuous
feature. They had to pick up the boulders in
order to plow, and having no place to pul
them they used them for fences. Thcii
fields and meadows were small iiud a ten-acre
lot was an exception. Perhaps no better
evidence was seen of the small scale farm
ing than one little field where shocks of
wheat or barley were covered with cloth to
keep oft the dew. Imagine such an attempt
on a western f arm . A farmer would need
to run a cotton mill to keep his wheat under
cover.
Tbe morning air was clear and sharp,
and, as Istepped off the curs to say nood
morning to the capital of New Hamp
shire, I wished the sun had
risen half a dozen more times, to warm
things up. My 5 a. in. welcome to Concord
was reciprocated by a newsboy, who I applied
me with a Monihn; which I found living the
Blaiue and Logan ling, and also announcing
the death In that city the previous day of c-x
--(iov. Harriman, oue of the prominent men
of New England. At Manchester, N. H., a
few miles further on, the Union greeted me
with tbe Cleveland and Hendrlcks Bag, and
the Amoskeag print, cotton and other mi!!?
loomed up In massive brick buildings; look
ing as fresh as though built but yesterday,
aud all the surroundings ;is clean as though
a cholera scare had caused extra precaution.
Lowell, Massachusetts, the home of the

Here In puritan Now England, the supposed

two out of the three flrst papers
encountered were supporting the 1) imocrutic
ticket. I looked for Ben at the Lowell depot,
mid I have no doubt he regretted he was not
there, but an early train had taken him to
Boston on his wiiy to Portsmouth to obtain
evidence In a murder trial, nnd thus he lost
the opportunity of a life time.
