THE GOOD , IME COMING.
Nothing is surer to the thoughtful ob
server than the prospect of the development
of this place within or by three years from
this date. The time for incredulity in this
matter is past. It is quite true that we
have had the same promise on several oc
casions bef -re, and have been disappointed
It is true that we have often heard in other
years the saying, “now in two years, or in
three at most, we shall have a railroad, and
we are to see Superior take a real step in
advance —a step that once taken, will be
the beginning of steadily increasing pros
perity.”
\\ e were as a community disappointed
in those expectations time and again, and
there are enough of eldldish minds in this
as in every place, to think that because this
has been the case in the past, it is always
to be the case. Such reasoning is the part
of :i fool. But men of sense here, as else
where, allow a change of circumstances,
and especially a manifest progress of events
to guide their judgements, and lead them
to entertain new ami more reasonable hopes.
W e have to say to all sensible and thought
ful minds who ponder our situation, ‘hat the
expectation of a development of this place
by or even within three years is a just ex
pectation, tor it is founded upon facts.
It is a fact that the Northern Pacific
railway will be completed in three years.
It is a fact that the \\ isconsin Central will
he completed in or before three years. It
is a fact that other railroads will inevita
bly be forced to make connections with the
Northern Pacific in this vicinity within
three years It is a fact that the Red
Itiver Valley, Northern and Central Min
nesota, and Northern Wisconsin will at
tract tens of thous.i ds of bum grants with
in three years. It i- a fact that the tide
of trade in the Northwest is soon to be di
verted completely to Lake Superior, and
fleets of vessels cover the great inland sea
that has so long been solitary.
Can any man deny these evident truths?
Certainly no cue in his senses. An entire
ly new era is upon us, and the m in is blind
that cannot see Superior’s vantage i; the
matter. She occupies the very ground and
system of harborage, that it wit I be worth
the while of eastern millionaires to contend
for within the next three years What will
they want? Will it not be a position at
the head of Lake Superior, at the very cen
tre and nexus of the coming railroad net?
Who holds that position? None other
than the town of Superior and county of
Douglas.
It will not pay any railroad to run around
us permanently. Il is only a premium paid
to some other giant corporation to make an
inside track. Our Iri-ky little neighbor
Duluth is welcome to all she'can make out
of her hillside and sand-bars. The railroad
development will correct all that, and lower
her town lots to a more modest and truer
value. Business men will some day make
it a beautiful suburban village. But the
business at the head of Lake Superior will
be done in this place.
What is the mental constitution of a man
that used to hope for our development when
there were no railways; no call for them;
no immigration; no through hues or conti
nental thoroughfares, and no possible need
of a town in this region, and yet now grows
desponding and wants to give up ail inter
est in this splendid location, and refuses to
hope just when the undeniable fuels are
pointing to a speedy realization of the long
wished for prosperity ? Let our people
wait tor IST:} and I&T4, and they will see
that we are not deceived, nor deceiving
them, in telling of “the good time coming.’'

We announced last week, that Judge.
Miller of the United States Court, had, on
the ‘J9th ultimo., granted an order enjoining
the tun her prosecution of the work on the
Duluth Canal. Ten days (at this writing)
have since elapsed, during all which time,
Sunday excepted, the work lias been carried
on with unusual energy. It would seem
that either the nju ti >n il order, through

tnrers, who, to whatever desperate extremes
they should carry their attempts, have
reckoned on an impunity whtcu they be
lieved could he secured through the inter
est of sucli men as Jay Cooke and other
magnates of the Penn Central R. R., sup
posed to have ready access to. an I almost
unlimited influence with, Congress and De
partmental officers. But we are unwilling
to believe that any such impeachment of
the integrity and independence of the na
tional administration can be justified; or
that the President, the Congress, and the
Heads of Departments have all surrender
ed to this modern railroad dynasty, power
ful and domineering though it he.
A DULUTH EXPLANATION.
The editor of the Duluth Democrat rises
to explain the “ muddle,” as he terms it,
“which has existed between Duluth and
Superior,” and a very muddled explanation
he makes of it to be sure.
It taxes to the utmost our charitv, to
suppose that he is so innocent as to believe
the statements he makes; but as he is a
new comer at the head of the Lake, and
the atmosphere of his locality is thick with
the fog of misrepresentations concerning
Superior, we are willing to concede that he
may be still ignorant of the facts in the
case. We proceed therefore as patiently
as possible, to enlighten him and all others
similarly deceived.
First, Superior has not —as he assert* it
has—“from time almost immemorial been
vainly attempting to make” the outlet of
the St. Louis river, between Minnesota and
Wisconsin Points, “a navigable entry tor
shipping.” From time immemorial that
entry has been navigable for shipping.
Second. The “ sand bar” at the mouth of
this entry characterized by him as an “insur
mountable obstacle” lias it is true some
times impeded the passage of the largest
steamers when deeply laden, but it consists
of a formation which is inseparable from
any entry to the Bay of Superior, whether
by a “Duluth Canal” through Minnesota
Point, or o: he:wise, unless it shall be pre
vented by works precisely similar to those
vv i ch the government is now constructing
.ti (lit- natural < r.ivv.
Third. “ The knowing ones” who accord
ing to the Democrat “give it as their unbi
ased opinion that the harbor now is in a
worse condition than before the Govern
ment commenced tampering with it,” have
indisputably more zeal for Duluth, than
knowledge of the harbor. Their opinion is
entirely erroneous, unless very recently, the
diversion ot a portion of the current of the St.
Louis river through the Duluth canal, has,by
diminishing the scouring force at the entry,
left an unusual accumulation on the bar,
and thus justified the conclusions of the
government engineers, who predicted such
a result from such a cause. But is it pos
sible that the people of Duluth are impu
dent enough to claim a benefit from that
state of the case— ax advantage from
THEIR OW.V WRONG t
Fourth. But the silliest observation of
the Democrat —and it is not original with
that paper; il is the standing text of the
Duluth press —is that which in substance
charges that the Government, though it has
been for some time engaged on the entry
improvements, lias not yet effected the re
moval of the bar. Here is wisdom for you,
in chunks, laying all around loose! Why,
most sap out critics, let us tell you again as
we have told you in effect before; that nei
ther the United States engineers, the peo
ple of Superior nor any one else, not dazed
by constant owl-like blinking at the Zenith,
expects any structure or 'nstrument wha<-
ever, to accomplish the purpose for which
it may be designed, until it is organically
complete. Tfie piers at the entry, when
they shall he extended according to the
pi ms of the engineers—and that is the
work now in progress—to, or nearly to, the
bar, will then and JiOt before , begin to have
their designed effect, viz: to increase the
force of the rher by confining its volume, I
and to direct its current against, and so j
remove and prevent forever, the bar form
ation. It it requires time to finish these
piers, so it would require time to finish any
piers, such as would be essential to the en
tire efficiency of any channel between the
the lake and the bay.
Fifth. Here is a couple of conundrums:
' Why is it not just as well for Du!u h com
merce to pass through a natural entry near
as for Superior commerce to pass
through an artificial entry near Duluth?
It Superior's preference for the natural en
try, and maintenance of her own natural
rights pertaining thereto, is to be imputed
to “Jealousy’' about which Duluth p ipers
so constantly harp, to what lovely disposi
tion shall we attribute Duluth's high-hand
ed invasion of those rights? We give ’em
no.

SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1871.
ALMOST A VIHT.
A large party of endiiorial excursionists
from lowa, came to Quebec pier on the
Kasota this morning, and many of them
landed and made two separate attempts to
gel up into our streets, but were each time
promptly recalled by the boat’s whistle.
W* hope it was no* the jealous surveillance
of their Duluth attendants, that prevented
them from inspecting our beautiful town
site, as they evidently desired to do.
We should have been glad to take out 1,
brethren of the lowa press by the hand,
and if necessary, would have given bonds
to Duluth, to restore them, whole, to that
place for last impression
Thebe are in England j 0,000,0 '0 people:
in the United States 40,000,Out); in Eng
land out of that 2 J,ooo,Otto but 30,000 own
any land ; in the United States out of 40,-
000,000 over 5,0 JO, OOO own the ground
they live on. Tnat is to say, in England,
under the absorbing aristocracy, there is
to-day but one laud owner to every seven
hundred who have no material interest in
the kingdom; whilst here, under our liber
ty, the proportion of owners to non-owners
is but as one to eight. There, a generation
narrows down the number of England’s
proprietors; here, a generation m ikes even
immigrants voting representatives of acres.
The Honorable < ’aleb Cashing says;
Before the close of the present century ihe
United States will count more than one
hundred million inhabitants and that with
out taking into account p >ssil>l ■, nay prob

Northern Pacific.—Junction with Lake Supe
rior and Mississippi Railroad
From the Chicago Railway Review.
The Cos. have recemly adopted Yokomo
as the permanent point of junction between
this li. and tb-vL. S. M. U. It will be
the initial point of the Nor. Pac. during the
whole or i he greater part of its construction.
Here are located theengine house, machine
shops, etc,, incident to the construction ol
the eastern portion. Yokomo is two miles
south and west ot Thomson, and occupies,
says the Superior Times, a well-drained and
level site. The country is available for
fanninu.
It iixpected that with these advantages
It Mid bi'/.nmp ft.i r. 1 J.w.tive of a K. vet to
be built from Superior m an air lineTo me
N. Pac. construction terminus.
The surveys indicate this route as the
shortest and best possible from Lake Sup.
to the N. Pac. The distance is but 23
miles against 20 or 27 from Duluth, The
grade, is nowhere over 30 feet to the mile.
Our road-bed and harbor need but a trilling
expenditure. Says the Tunes.
“ Past delay has been excusable. The tide of immi
gration was stayed ; the railroad era was not at hand.
But now the iron horse of the N. Pac. champs the bit
at Yokomo! Open the golden gate for him and your
own prosperity, Messieurs owners and proprietors of
Superior.”
Bravo! That means business. If every
journal stirred up public sentiment in the
style of the above, we are certain that none
would complain of dull newspapers. If
we Were speaking instead of writing we
should be inclined to say to the Times ,
“ Bnily for yon! ”
Progress of the Wisconsin Central R. R.
Fkom Doty Island to Stevens Point.
The Winnebago County Press says:
On Thursday morning of last week we were favored
with au invitation and accepted a seat with President
Heed in a well appointed turnout, with our course
headed westward. Destiny—a trip over the line of
the work on the Wisconsin Central Railroad to Ste
vens Point. The work is well advanced, and substan
tially half completed through the towns of Menasha
and Clayton.
On the Wolf river bottoms, across several bayous
and streams, there is *2600 feet of pile bridging. Ma
terial is being accumulated for the bridge at the Wolf
river crossing, a few rods above Gills Landing. Sev
eral hundred feet of dock is to be built by the R. R.
Cos , at this point to accommodate the business of the
road. The latter work will cost some sls.(Xtn.
The work, all the way from Neenah and Menasha to
Stevens Point, is being most substantially executed.
The grade is free from “ vaneered” stumps and rocks.
It is 16 loot in width on the top, being two feet wider
than that of any other road in the stale. The culverts
are substandaily and permanently built of stone.
Ties of uniformly good size, and one loot extra in
length, are seen all along t e line.
There are, all told, of laborers and teamsters about
sixteen hundred men employed on ttie work. There
can be scarcely a doubt but that track laying will
commence the first day of July, the time set bv Mr.
Phillips, and that it will proceed at the rate of one
mile per day until completed, sixty-seven miles to
Stevens Point. - Mr. Phillips has set the first day of
October as the time for running trains.
There will then be a time of general rejoicing and a
time for the people to express their appreciation of the
valuable services of Hon. George Reed, President of
the road, in persistently holding on to the Land Grant
interest, in not allowing it to revert to the general
government, and more than all, in giving direction of
the road to Doty Island. Without such efforts in this
behalf, be it repeated, we could hardly have hoped for
an east and west road within the next decade.
The Press also says:
Judge Reed left for Bayfield on Thursday evening
and will probably be absent three weeks. He goes to
make preliminary preparations for constructing a sec
tion of the Wisconsin Central from Chequimagon Bav
[Ashland] to the Penoka iron mines.
The round figures of the railroad inter
est are easily learned and remembered.
The whole length of all the railways in the
world is 120, 0ut) miles. The cost of the
same was, in round numbers, ten billions of
dollars. Those of Great Britain are thy
most costly, and those of the United States
aie the hast so. The railway system of
tiie world gives employment to over one
million persons.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of America at Chicago.
ANOTHER INTERESTING LETTER FROM
REV. \VM. R. HIGGINS.
Chicago, May 30th, 1871.
j Editor Superior Times—
; Rear Sir :By your courtesy I will again offer a few
lines regarding the proceedings of the General Assem
! bly. Business at this date is proceeding rapidly. The
prospect is that we will be through to-night Yester
, day and to-day our best speakers have debated the re
i construction of the financial system of the Presbyte
■ rian Church. Musgrave, the Daniel Webster of the
! Assembly, held us enchained and interested in a forci
j ble speech of an hour and a half yesterday, in which he
I denounced the new measures of centralizing and con
solidating the Boards and Funds of the Church, as rev
| olutionary and fraught with the greatest danger to our
| future welfare as a church. Ills speech was quite ad
I captaudum , abounding in wit, special pleading, and
every artifice by which an accomplished debater w ould
| overthrow his opponents’ views. Hall, of New York
City, reviewed his speech just before adjournment last
evening and destroyed its effect in some measure.
And to-day, Edvards, of Baltimore, and Judge Allison
of Philadelphia crossed swords on the same topic, Al
lison siding with Musgrave. Finally a compromise
motion was carried, w hich goes into effect this present
year, looking to the calling forth of contributions from
every member of the church, and placing all work,
home and foreign on sure financial foundations.
The present Assembly has shown much interest in
the Sabbath School question; in the subject of Man
ses, or parsonages. In the sunject of the Sustentation
Fund, which regards establishing a system by which
in the course of a few years each of our 5000 ministers
shall be guaranteed at least one thousand dollars per
annum. Anew hymn book for the church has also
been determimd on, and in general, every effort is
being put forth to make the re-united Presbyterian I
Church a body in active working order, so organized j
as to call forth the utmost work, prayer, praise, I
preaching, liberality and Christian life from every |
member of every church in the whole denomination.
We look with admiration upon the perfect organiza
tion of tiie Methodists and Episcopalians, and the un
tiling zeal of Baptists and Congregationalists, and
seem at last in tiiis Assembly to have come to the [
conclusion, that if the Presbyterian Church would do j
its proper share of the much needed Christian work in I
this land, it must not fall behind in any respect the
systematic and hearty church life of sister denomina
tions. To find strength in union, and to organize vie
tory are the watch words of the hour.
But it is a gratifying fact that amid all this falling
into line, and putting on of the uniform in our regi
ment of the one great spiritual army, I have not heard
a word or breath of bigotry, or mere selfish sectarian
ism from a single member of this vast representative
gathering. On the contrary, I think that the firm con
\ which is nrovidentiallv forced upon the minds
of all that there is a work for us to do in tins land,
has also tended to strengthen our previous conviction
that every branch of the One Vine in this goodly land
has a right to live and flourish; a right to its own 1
pruning, its own life blood in full circulation, and its !
own Eschol clusters of “ much fruit” for the Master.!
We of the Presbyterian name would prune, and trim,
ad support and stimulate our own branch. We would f
not hinder others; God forbid. We will rejoice in
their fruitage and they in ours, but like them we do
not feel at liberty to neglect* the cultivation of what
the Master has committed to us. Yet the grapes from
the differing branches are the same. They are alike
nourished by the blood of Christ, and the smile of
God. They will alike be found hereafter in the “ new
wine” of the kingdom.
Various meetings of an interesting character have
been held on the evenings of our session. A temper
ance meeting last evening was well conducted. A
missionary meeting Sabbath night addressed by voter
ans from the front. The Assembly’s communion last
Friday night. A fine discourse on the late Prof. T. H.
Skinner of Union Theological Seminary by Dr. G. L.
Prentiss on Thursday night. (Dr. Prentiss lias been
elected to the chair of Didactic Theology in the Chi
cago Theol. Sem.)
Among the minor items of business transacted by
the Assembly, I note on Saturday last the granting of
a request made by the Presbytery of St. Paul in refer
ence to transferring the County of St. Louis, Min ■.,
from the Synod < f W seonsin (to which it was tempo
rarily attached by the reconstruction act of last year
for good reasons) to the Synod of Minnesota. It was
with reference to this matter, I had the pleasure of
visiting the Presbytery of St. Paul at its late session in
Stillwater. Dr. Frederic T. Brown, the well known
“F. T B.” of the Prrxby'crlrn, and one of the repre
sentatives of Sl Paul Presbytery, has taken part in
the Assembly debates on two or three occasions. Ho
is a fine extemporaneous speaker, and an able debater.
Last Sabbath I preached by request at Dunton, 111.
Was gratified to meet the good father of the late Art
son Burlingame, the friend of China. Next Sabbath
I am expected to preach at Michigan City, Ind.
Yours truly, W. R. H.
