OUR COMMANDING POSITION-
Lake Superior is ten mite? broad at its he i. t uding
as abruptly and squarely as pi>??ible. .t ship follow
ing the ox ict center line of th-• Lake till it could go no
farther westwardly would ground on w .at is called
Point As
that ship would notice t!i it this Point altho l2a many
miles in length was hut a few rod- in width. Taki g
two or three companions, and dr agg ng on oft sl. : p*<
boats across this narrow neck he could continue his
voyage in the sane direction the -hip had been going
for just one mile further. H would tie- i have crowed
the Hay of Superior L ind: g a I a-- tiding a slope
of 34 feet he would find himself on a plat au ext tiding
miles on eith- r -ide .iud miles h fore him If he turn

-.-iru.y aiug. im, />uoce no wuuUi iiuu te.e infer St.
Louis pouring into the Bay of Sup* r. If on the
other hand he turned to the left, and w nt two and a
half miles southwardly along the shore he would find
the river Nemadji also pouring into the bay
riur. He would notice too that nearly opposite the
spot at which the Nem t iji came into th • bay, the two
rivers joined their currents and swept out into the op
en Lake. Going fuck to the ship he would know that
he had seen the site of some g i ft future.
IL‘ would feel persa ile 1 f , . * • i-.. plat au

The present town of ?ip ior tc>t only oceupi s the
centr'd five mil 's beta en lit ' r.ver- that w have spo
ken of above, but iss i-c pt;ble of practically unlimited
extension west ami south. In Led ve could spare

twenty-five square mi ■ of Sup :dor between the
riwrs.
Few persons awav from this place, who have net seen
accurate maps of our ? :u . • . . it the head of Lake Sn
perior, can ffm any j il■ aof the overwhelming
commercial advant ig ■? whieh a: ■ ours, and of the na
ture and amount of barb 'rage, and of building room
for a great city which ar- h re all' r id.
We own four-fifl al
the commercial f-ieilith- at the head of Lake Sup ri r.
We are not on one sal oft’.' LiA- and that tie worst
side, but at th • real and geogr . hie a', !.-• id of tin Like,
commanding its rivers and harbors, wi h ; i ir chan
neis and entrys.
We are nt attempting to tea 1 a city on biafTsid--?
and narrow sand points, out of an iva.-on i.?e chauc -
for eastern connections, baton broad and levtl foun
dations in the natural route of all railroads in thi?
quarter.
We arc not and -pendent on woo l m hr* ikwaters, and
artificial entrys, and artili ial harbors. Wo have ten
mi l -s of natural breadwat- r; a i-a'-.tr and ei ivy eoutb.ll
- being derdg dby a p-we: idl natural dredgi, (the

hamors enough to fl ■at th- :i.ivies of the aw ii that
will in four years press up l >c L ike to nucl tie; gri at
N-.rthi rn Pacific Railroad.
There is only one place at the hea l <-f I. ak ri
or where the business of that i ad can be if me, aiei
that is the coming City of Superior. It c .atmt be
hill,
rods of sand bar. It wants enough sq- .n ” -of
land and water for an Eastern Lak- T* minus to b ar
some perceptible proportion to the townships and
sounds it will use as its Western t-ecan T> rin’ms.
A railroad that comes sw i ping in f; m Puget Sui and
across a continent, carrying tit - trade of the whole
world, is not going to be hemmed in by any narrow
guage railways, financii rings, or out of the way town
sites.

Cession- of Buitisii Territory. — Heprcscntatives of

our claims will involve ihece?sion to the I'uiced States |
of the B itish coiintrv northwest ofL.ke Sn icrior, ami '
that the flag of Ettgimd will verv short!v disappear
from thi? continent. This surmise has commercial as
well as political significance. With the cession of
Briti-h America foies away the 1 ;?t apprehension that
any transcontinental railway will ever be buiit north
ward of tie- North Pacific. Even did the topography
of tin* English territories permit ir, this change <>t t tie

. DOGS.
Mr. Editor; Premisi g that 1 am not a rtdieal, that
1 have no desire to snbv rt time-honored customs or
f- -ttie i -tu lish 'i u i itions, that 1 have an Instinet
t r-f 1 - • I theories,
mental prog -sos of refo m, I y t venture to suggest
tint w liile the passion for constitutional change is on
the country, it mig-it be well to secure one more
a u iidmetit, t > the eff et that human beings, men, wo
m n and children, shall, without respect to “race,
color or previous condition of servitude,” be entitled
t at 1 ;-t equal rights with dogs Now let not all
the dogs at once howl at this! I only ask that we
who are not <1 *gs may have an equal chance with those
woo are dogs. I submit that the human race as well
as the canine speci' s, i- indispensable to the well-being
if sci -ty. and th;t t e protection and preservation of
the former are not incomp itible with the highest in
terests of civilization.
I know that .logs are largely in the majority, and.
that mi ler a popular g ivernm- ut, the majority mu-t
rule; but I warn them tout, if they will rule, they
must have something to govern; they must at least
t : -rate the minority; oth rwise what will become of
the subj cts of their sway ?
I could wi-h there might be a -tat -of things, novel
ami untried t ougli it be, m whieh a man passing a
the dog tl
road—a ; a decent and well bred man would—might be
sure of getting bv with impunity, undiminished as to
his "ant d,-.ns, mid unindented as to hi? flesh. Undt r
such happy rireunistances, it would no longer he im
practicable to take --fi'active me sures for sunp ring at
gi . ■ kratum of this communitj —more
dogs.
It is obvious that wo ought to have more dogs
There are s cue considerable spaces in this region, at
pros- at not occupied by dogs. True most of our peo
ple maintain one, and many of th ou several, of th
interesting quad npeds; but there are a few narrow
minded f >lks, who refuse to k-- -p even one, on the
sordid plea that th -y have no ns.- f.r a dog; as if nv-rc
utility was of tiie high t import, and life had no room
for those aesthetic adjuncts which so b uiutify and en
nobl*' it. Look at Paris! So long as her dogs
ah u .11. she h Id out against the enemy; but when
h r dogs h and nearly all disapp ■ ir and, th n sh ■ succumb
oil. (la litis v■ rv mmif'st that we iv ed more dogs.
With a little effort in this and rection, I am confident
th.-.' ou”s would be the banner town for dogs, if it is
not already entitled to that distinction.

MORAL CCUxtAGE AND REFORM.
BY REV. yv. I). BEN'KTI, OF SUPERIOR.
£Fr m itie Pnlutu Mo: Call.]
Any ignorant landsman may fold hi? arms and float
out with tin 1 tide; only hardened and trained sinews
can breast it. Any idiot cun roll down hill—his owe
momentum will take him; hut it takes stead; nerve?
and cool heads to scale the jagged cliff. So any man
that has eyes and cais to ?ec and hear, and brains
enough to think, can float with the world as it goes.
It is . ot so easy, however, to lace, overcome or change
great oei and currents. Reform and improvement means
light, and successful tight demands sclf-poi-e and moral
courage.
Let us think a moment on human life, what it should
be, what it is, and it.? great present want.
I'he purpose for which every true man is placed in
the wend i,-, to make it better by his living. His great
duty is to unmid Ins own life, and correct the existing-
Older ut things. Many reverse ihi? order, and one
will not amend thevroyvn Ives demanding to held afOim 1
and another \y ill not disturb the e> isting order of things
a- tar as correction is concerned. This, reversed order,
create? a fear of disagreeable facts, a shrinking from
the presence of truth as it concerns ou st lv s, iner as
ing gradually into a tenor of all truth, and creating a
love of glos.?cs, vails, and decorated lies. It also leads
public men to cover up di-agreeable facts, gl.iss error, >
filter truth, and compromise witli wrong to gain favor. |
Why ure reforms -> slow? temperance reforms?
s >cial reforms? clitneli reforms? national reforms ? i
Because communities and society, public men, minis
ters, journalists and statesmen, a e ton frequently moral
Cowards. And what *xcu? for ibis? Who is to
blame? The blame wif. in- found m ail tanks Society
is to I tine fhe mas - ofl ing a reward for time
serving, cringing servility, and pusillanimous flattery.
If an editor or politician, expose a party of State cor
ruption, every party hack, with a pack of cay ness at
ms heals, commences war on the renegade, and reads
him out of the party. Is sorn ■ local corruption expos
ed, half the town is stopping subscriptions, withdraw
ing advertisements, or threat mug to withhold votes.
Churches are much to blame. Wealth and influ
ence -teaks God's laws, and outrages morality min
huk and; preaching that tickles the ear. plea- s tie
fancy, and lulling the conscience, says -‘soul t ike tin
case,” is at a premium ; wliile not unfreqncntlv prac
tical truth, truth that hits error straight from the
shoulder, is at a sad discount. Churches are found all
over the land, that bid high for the minister that is on
good terms with everybody, because he never punc
tures a rotton -out and exposes us corruptions : but
ik“y arc clamorous against him, who following in the
footsteps of Christ, i x;.scs the purse-proud selfishness
and • ■ ■ . es. Jour
nalists are to blame. Many editors and essayists are
found, who, not daring to mould opinion, parrot-like-,
only er/io other m< n's ojiiuions, winking at partv corrup
tions, blinkii gat popular vie •, and raising no cry of
warning while thousand- are being hurried to untimcl
graves by appetite and passion. Shameful betrayers
I f a noble trust, such journalists deserve universal
execration.
('talesmen are to blame. If they have not the self
p ise and darug to hr.iv tie- ire of a party or a nation,
fir tin right, and with steady m-rves. strike harder as
the battle waxes hotter, compelling opinion out of its
rut?; it they cringe md crawl to gain short-lived favor,
they write their deeds in water, and record themselves
a? trembling sycophants a ,and ?ervile dastards.
Tin- ministry is 10 blame, and of all men should he
the most de-pis and yv.icn they siiow moral cowardice.
I’ney are the world’s moral h del s, and “if th** tium
pets give an une riant sound, who shall prepare liitn
- -if to the battle ?’’ Grant that it is hard to be oppo
?<-d, to lo- • tin* good wdl of m**n, to wage war on
wealth and infla-iic-, and he tented with nip pularitr; I
yet the minister e aims to fear God more than men, :o I
■ isn 1” i Mls
i'.t that forbids compromise; Who proinis s to hr*w ■
around 1! ? seiv.iiit all the power of earth and heaven; !
W no tells him to expect all manner of evil, all kindsofi
- ander and jieTsecution, yet comm ind? him to fear not, !
II ■ claims to be called of God, to trust Him and to te 1
inspired by LI m. Il then, he* shrink from danger,
ci'i. ge to popular opinion ad flmtirig with the tide. :
'l il in honied words and rh tone 1 subterfuges, spar- 1
ing popular sin. of a 1 moral cowards he i,- the worst. |
Au embassador of truth, a* nt out by God and the j
Church, the morals of the world i:e to be his study,
their reformation his work, and if he fail through cravat j
fear H'hat words shad describe the infamy of his cor
ardire-r
But while there i? much, verv much of this coward- j
ice evci > where, yv do not believe it is so general is :
son,, assert. Tii re are thousands who put apr mam
on independent thought. Tlier* are many noble, feat-j
le-? journalists whose opinions are not in the market, i
and who ar not sw i. al bv fear nor favor. Politicians :
as a class are perhaps the greatest time servers, but!
there are indications that even among them moral I
co irage is slightly on the increase. There is a gro#-1
ing f. cling that the churches must have a more }>"&-
ti e voice in -ill refoims, and the real culture and pi -
tv of the Church arc seeing more the need of an out
?l>oken ministry, and a making a grand rally around
an ind pendent pulpit—a pulpit that will not cringe
to wrong anywhere.
Yet it may be said that the one great need of tie
hour is an inrreets• of moral courage. Corruptions are
ever; win-re, in-ial corruptions 1 storing in all g:aces |
of society.—political corruptions making politics a!
moral cesspool,—national and r*-lu*ious corruptions
R -forms arc to lx- instituted, error is to Lie dethroned,
and only men of moral courage can do this—“ Men
wiio know the tight, and knowing dare maintain.”
