It in quite probable that ono of
President HnrriBon's Cabinet ofil
cors will be selected from the Pacific
states quite likely Oregon. Ore
gon is the only state on the Pacific
slope ever so represented. In De
cember 1871 Attorney General Ack
crinan surrendered his position in
President Grant's Cabinet and ex
U. S. Senator Hon G. II.
Williams was chosen to the place.
A largo number of Mr. Williams'
friends in Washington called upon
him with their congratulations and
demanded a speech. Among other
things in that reply tho General
said: "I promise ail whom it may
concern that when I am placed at
tho head of tho Department of Jus
tico In this Government, so far as
tlio jurisdiction of that department
may go, its mandates will bo (lis
penned without fear or favor, with
equal vigor and respect for all classes
mid conditions of men. I know
not what there may be in tho clam
or now made aoout official delin
quencies in tho Federal office, but
so far as exposure and prosecution
of such dclinmicncics devolves upon
tho Department of justice, no parti
san considerations will have weight,
and no pains will be spared to bring
the guilty to speedy, condign pun
ishment. I deeply regret that in
some poitions of tho country a spirit
of lawlessness seems to prevail. I
will favor overy consideration of
kinduvss (o induce obedience to the
law; but if no other means will
answer, then I am for using the
whole power of tho country in tho
most vigorous and oflcctlvo manner
to crush out conspiracy against the
peace of society nud tho safety of
unollbnding citizens. Governments
were piimaiily established to pro
tect tho weak against tho strong,
and, if this Government falls to
perform its function" In that respect
it has a po.ir claim upon the support
and loyalty of its elti.ons. No ono
in sight of recent ovents in Now
York or olsewhoro can take office
now anil escapo tho vlgllcnt oyo of
tho people, and nothing but a com
plete and uptight devotion to duty
will give general satisfaction. 1
shall struggle to moot the popular
demands as well as to meet tho ex
pectations of my friends, with how
much success time and events will
determine. I have tho honor to bo
tho first Cabinet ollleer taken from
tho Pacific coast California, Ne
vada, Oregon and Tonltories of tho
far West may consider themselves
recognised and represented In orery
branch of the Government. I do
not. oH'oet Indifference to party
matters, because I have been elec
ted to ofilee. I belong to tho re
publican party. I believe in its
principle's and politics, and I have a
profound conviction that Its ascend
ency for borne time to come is nec
essary to tho preservation of peace
and enforcement of law. Subordi
nate to my otllulal obligations,
tivorythlng Mint I uuu reasonably
and honorably, I shall earmwtly tlo
to secure Its triumph In the next
Presidential election."

TO LONDON MY MAIL.
In tho Infancy ofj railroad history
a proposition to construct a railroad
lino from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean would have been
laughed to scorn. Even after the
Union Pacific was completed a
plan for building a bridge twenty
two miles across a lake, such as the
one on which the Cincinnati, New
Orleans & Texas Pacific now crosses
Lake Pontchurtrain, would havo
been looked upon as altogether
chimerical. Tho proposition for an
all-rail route to Great Britain and
tho continent now being urged by
engineers, finds no more favor with
an incredulous public than did those
propositions which have just been
mentioned, and which years ago
became accomplished facts. The
plan to reach Great Dritain by rail
docs not embrace a tunnel under
the Atlantic, it in fact provides for
going west rather than cast. It
provides for a railroad to those west
ern limits of Alaska which border
on Dehring Strait, for crossing this
strait, thirty or forty railca, on a
bridge and then connecting with
tho proposed railroad by which
Ilussia is to reach her easternmost
possessions. The rest of the way to
Calais is easy. From Calais to tho
British Isles a tunnel under tho
English channel, long contemplated
must be built. Of this plan tho
Hallway Ago says:
The chief valuo of our great rail
way, however, would be as a means
of reaching not London, or even
Europe, but Ilussia, China and
India. Pekiu which is nearly on
tho latltudo of Philadelphia, is
something like 3,500 miles south
west of the Behring strait, making
tho journey from New York to
Pekin, say 0,000 miles. Calcutta,
on tho Indian ocean, is a matter of
2,000 miles further on and that
will eventually be linked to our new
hemisphere by steel rails.
What a tremendous impetus this
enterprise, ouco completed, would
givo tho missionary cause. Tho
peoplo of tho world may ere long be
circumnavigating it by rail rather
than by water. Tho little 3,000
mile ditch between New York and
Liverpool would bo a slight inter
ruption, to bo sure, but it would
necessarily bo a pleasant ono to tho
tedium of the locomotive's whistle
and the train's rattle.

"Tho Man About Town would

might possibly think it had a task

W. C. T. U; COLUMN.
Scientific Temperance In Other Lniuln.
During the past live years tho
National Department of Scientific
Temperance instruction has been in
co-operation with temperance work
ers in many lands besides our own
in efforts to secure the education,
through tho schools, of all childhood
in the scientific reasons for total
abstinence. Many good results have
followed this extension of this work.
Among them we mention thes-e:
Our indorsed temperance text books,
translated into the languages of
Japan and of the Sandwich Islands,
are in use in those- countries. This
foreign skirmish work has had no
organized relation, beyond the
Divine command, "Go ye into all
the world," until last March, when
the department of scientific; temper
ance instruction was created in the
World's Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union, and the writer was
made its superintendent.
In a circular letter sent to all for
eign auxiliaries, and now through
these columns of the official organ
of the World's W. C. T. U., I ac
knowledge my acceptance of this
position, looking to Him whose
blessing alone can make human ef
forts efiectual, forguidance and help
in the discharge of its duties. .
The great work of tho revision of
the imperfect temperance text-books
in our own country, making an al
most exclusive demand upon my
personal attention, camo to me at the
same time. Amidst these labors and
cares I have sent to all foreign ad
dresses on the roster of the World's
W. C. T. U., an invitation to create
a scientific temperance instruction
department in their organization,
witli a superintendent auxiliary to
the international department; and
with this invitation have sent also
our department "Plan of Work," a
pamphlet of sixty-four pages with
its minute directions for every detail,
based upon our eight years' experi
ence ; a set of our "School Leaflets;"
tho annual department report of
1887, and shall soon follow these
with tho report of 1888 now in press.
Corresponence with any persons,
in or out of the W. C. T. U., in any
land, who are ablo to co-operate with
us for tho furtherance of their work
in their localities, is earnestly invit
ed. "Tho field is the world."

Wo clip from the Seattte Post In
telligencer of Dec. 18th, the follow
ing commendatory remarks concern
ing Major Hilton as an orator and
Christian temperance worker. Tho
result of his first lecture Sunday
night was the addition of 240 new
members to the W C. T. U :
"A week's course of temperance
or, rather, prohibition lectures has
been commenced by Major George
A. Hilton of Washington, D. C, in
Fryo's opera house, the first being
given Sunday evening. Thcso
lectures are under the auspices of
tho W. C. T. U. and credit is due
tho ladles for their great activity.
Major Hilton is an eloquent man,
eloquent in his cimaxes, eloquent in
ids gestures, eloquent in keen, bit
ing satire, merciless sarcasm, quick
logic, numerous anecdotes, and start
ling comparisons. Ho makes a flno
appearance on the platform, looking
young, clean-cut and vigorous.
Sometimes his ricli tenor voice gets
slightly husky, but his enunciation
is of tho clearest, and his light bluo
oyes penetrate tho audience. He is
of tho blonde type, his thoughtful
face bolng sot oil" well by a heavy
sandy mustache, Major Hilton's
ten years' experience at tho internal
revenue books of the United States
treasury department has given him
a fund of knowledge, which he can
uso to a great advantage as a tem
perance agitator.
