Senator McPherson Las been re

was elected after a sharp contest and
in Weit Virginia John E. Kenna suc

The inquiry into the Newball House
disaster seems, so far, to indicate that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
The bar keeper of the hotel is now
under arrest for this crime anil circum

the man guilty of- this awful deed.
It is reported that the robbers who
recently attempted to rob the express
train on the Central Pacific road have
been surrounded iu the mountains
near Montello. The gang is said to be
well known. Three of them are ex
convicts and the others are cow boys.

There seems to be an impression
among the people that the Pendleton
civil bervice bill, which, by the way,
is now a law, actually places the power
of appointment in the various Boards
of Examiners. Such, however, is not
the case. The Boards of Examiners
simply say who shall not be appointed.
No person can be appointed under this
law who does not reach a certain stand
ard of qualifications; and appointments
must be made from the applicants
having obtained the highest percentages
in the examination. The second clause
in the second section says: "All offices
places and employment shall
be filled by selection according to grade
from among these grided highest, as
the result'of such competitive exam
ination." If this provision is carried
out, applicants will practically appoint
themselves, lhe appointment will at
least depend upon the record they
make in the examination, it is
urged that there will be favoritism
that examinations may be so conducted
as to favor a particular applicant.

said, will be signed by the governor.
Having swallowed their scruples to
this extent, the wonder is, that the
legislators did not make one more gulp,

The Marquis of Lome is at "Wash
ington. He took dinner at the White
House the other day. It took a half
column of Press dispatches to tell this
fact to fifty million people very few of
whom cared whether ho took his din
ner at the White House or at a two
bit restaurant.
John B. Gough, the celebrated tem
perance lecturer, is opposed to the at
tempted prohibition legislation. He
says that moral deration is the only
remedy for intemperance. Yon can
not make men moral by legislation,
and whatever of real, permanent good
is accomplished in the way of temper
ance reform, must be done by moral
suasion.
Gustave Dore, the famous French
painter and designer, is dead. Any
one who has ever seen his wonderful
pictures, cannot but regret that such a
man should ever cease to enrich the
world with the fruits of his labors.
His Illustrations of the "Biole," and
of the "Ancient Mariner," are perhaps
those of his works which are best
known in this country. This world is
made much poorer by Dare's death.
Herr Moat, tlio Gorman socialist
is not satisfied with the progress ho is
making in this country, no coni
plains'that the press and people of the
United States, have not given him a
fair chance. Well perhaps Mr. Most
is rightl We are a brave and generous
people, and have always relied upon our
cizilization and good sense to protect
us against such enterprising outcasts
as this dynamite dutchman. Some
time, though, this sentiment of liber
ality may prove insufficient to restrain
the just indignation of peaceable law-
abiding citizens, and a new law will
find its place in our codo condemning
such socialistic scamps to preach their
infamous doctrines within the walls of
a penitentiary.
Congress is still at work on the
tariff bill. Prom the muliplicity of
conflicting interests involved in this
question the present bill is likely to be
something in the nature of a compro
mise. There is, however, a fair pros
pect that the pending bill will event
ually be passed in such a way as to
correct a great many of the evils of
the present system. The recent tariff
commission, despite the adverse criti
cism to which it was subjected, render
ed a great service to the country by
assisting our legislators to a bettpr un
derstanding of the subject in hand.
The present discussion must be very
interesting reading to those valiant
Democrats who have so strenuously
insisted that the tariff was a party ques
tion. To any one who is in the least
familiar with the history of this ques
tion, it goes without saying, that it is
not, and never has been, a purely par
.ty matter. It is entirely a sectional
issue in which each part of the country
shapes its opinions according to its in
terests. Self interest is the basis up
on which almost all the tariff argu
ments are constructed. In a commu
nity where agriculture is the principle
industry, free trade w ill be found to
flourish in the greatest perfection. If
manufacturing is the chief occupation,
protection ideas will prevail. Not
protection of all industries, but of the
particular one in which that communi
ty is engaged. Between all this mul
titude of conflicting interests, each one
striving to succeed at the expense of
all the others, an average must be ar
ranged, which will be acceptable to all,
or at least a majority. It would not
be surprising if a perfect system, en
tirely satisfactory to everybody should
not be evolved .from bo much conflict
and confusion.
of this nature; it would be expecting
too much to assume that exact impar
tiality will in all cases be observed.
But between the parties the cxaroi
nation will bo substantially fair. The
party now in power will generally have
two members of the Board of Ex
aminers and the parly out of power
will heve one. If there is any favor
shown on account of politics the mi
nority member can at least make the
fact known. The principle of re
quiring a certain standard of qualifica
tions in applicants for responsible po
sitions is a sound one to establish. Wo
apply this principle to tho school de
partment in this city, and in spite of
occasional irregularities it works well.
The applicants must present evidence
of at least educational capacity before
their claims can be considered by the
appointing ower. It dees not follow
that the applicant who attains the
highest percentage on examination will
make the best teacher. But this ob
jection may be considered when some
method of appointment is discovered
which promises in all cases to insure
the best possible results. Under the
Pendleton act the appointee must be
taken from tho highest grade of appli
cants. The ability to make such a
record may not include the ability to
fill the position more efficiently, than
some applicant who stood lower in the
list, but it at least insures respectable
(-attainments.- If -tho successful "an
plicant is unfit for any cause to perform
the duties of the office, the fact, when
established, becomes a cause for re
moval. "S. F. Call."
The S. F. "Call" reporter had a talk
with John Muir, Superintendent of
traffic of the Western Division of the
Northern Pacific, who was in San
Francisco last week. He thought the
Northern Pacific would be completed
between St. Paul, Minn., nnd Port
land, Ogn., by next August. A query
as to the effect upon California by the
completion of the Northern Pacific,
brought out a broad grin upon the face
of this gentleman being interviewed,
and in a moment the reporter, instead
of receiving an answer, was assailed
with questions, which, as he was not
the recipient of the confidences of in
ner railroad circles, induced him to
abruptly abk when railroad connec
tions would bo made between this
State and Oregon.
Seemingly pleased at the turn the
subject had taken, Mr. Muir, vouch
safed the comprehensive information
that he did not know. Ho did
think it possible that some time next
vear such an event mir-ht ta'pien, but
LtCr-lL-O'J.JuAtwcening gap would ne
cessitate some very heavy work. Sev
eral tunnels were to be constructed
and the difficulties incident to heavy
grades had to bo overcome. When
completed the connection between the
road from this end, under control of
the Central Pacific, would meet that of
the Villard system at or a little south
of the State line. The northern line
was being extended south as fast as
circumstances permitted.
Mr. Muir also spoke of a particular
feature to be inaugrated for the com
ing summer in the way of excursion
parties to particularly inviting regions
in the north. The principal one
would start in June for Alaska. These
trips would be made as frequently as
circumstances permitted from San
Francisco, Portland and the Sound
ports. Fares from here would bp
125, and everything furnished, while
from Portland they would be 93.
The excurison from here would last
twenty five days, and as there would
be no opportunity to spend money on
the trip, he thought tho opportunity
to economize and at the same time
enjoy sights, scenes and recreation
should be a commendation to bo appre
ciated. Other excurisons up tho
Columbia river, and to unfrequented
points on the sound, etc., liavo been
projected and the gentleman thought
the completion of the Northern Pacific
would be the commencement of a- se
ries of excursions to tha northwest by
parties from the East. To accommo
date theso excursions the finest steam
ships now in service on tho coast would
be drawn upon.
The deatiof jSainbetta has served
to unsettle affairs in France to an ex
tent which presents the greatness of

did any of tba .eulogies of his most
ardent admirers. Hardly was he in
his grave, until the Bonapartists, who
had not dareil?to push their preten
sions above tmrsurfaco while he lived,
publicly proclaimed their right to rule,
and their intention to re-establish the
Empire with '.Jerome Bonaparte as its
head. But the strength which the

Republic had' acquired under the fos
tering care of such men as Gambetta
was sufficient to sustain it against the
assault, and the preaumptious Prince
was promptly seized and sent to prison.
Although tho danger of a Bonapartist
upriring is not entirely over, and in
decision and inbarmony seems to rule
in the Cabinet, there appears no imme
diate danger to the Eepublic. The
government feels sadly the want of a
leader in this emergency, and tho in

er so keenlyirealized as now.

the eternal fitness of things for that

Hawaiian Treaty.
Tho Nicaraguan canal bill, as re
ported, provides that the government
shall guarantee three per cent, inter
est on 75,000,000 of the company's
bonds, for the period of forty years.
This guarantee clause, excited so much
opposition, that the bill was almost
certain to fail; and it is now proposed
to strike out this clause, and insert in
stead, a provision that the government
shall control the work of building tho
canal, and shall pay the canal com
pany for whatever use it may make of
it, "on a bais proportionate to the re
ceipts of the canal for a year prior to
its occupation by tho United States."
This, though apparently fair enough on
its face, has an unpleasant suspicion of
jobbery connected with it. Why
should not the government pay the
rpgular rates, the same as other persons
who may use tho canal) The project
ors of this canal scheme have been la
boriously urging the necessity of gov
ernment aid in their work, and, dis
appointed in one scheme, they may
naturally be expected to resort to an
other. If the government is to extend
any assistance, it should be done in
such a manner that the extent of the
assistance may be clearly marked.
The present political outlook of the
isthmus is not the most re assuring,
and the occupation of the canal by this
government may lead" to serious com
plications with France, The canal
should be constructed and controled by
the United States in its own interest,
and not in the interests of speculators.
If this were done, French opposition
would amount to nothing more serious
than groundless protests. This canal
is one of the certainties of the future,
and our government will lose a great
opportunity if it permits the present
short sighted policy to prevail.

iam Glendye isthe most recent addition
to the periodical literature of the State.
It is a non-partisan non political week
ly. Wo own to some misgivings
about a country paper without any
politics but cordially wish it the best
of success and hope it may rain a
vt hole deluge of wisdom npon its subscribers.
There appears to be but small hope
that the Hawaiian treaty will be con
sidered by Congress, during the pres
ent session. The condition of legisla
tion is such that this subject cannot be
reached, in its regular order, before
the adjournment. Indeed, it is very
doubtful whether, if it could be reach
ed, any relief would be afforded. The
great misfortune R that the curse of
this treaty is visited only on the Paci
fic Coast. The eils which beset this
section of the Union, seem to have
very little weight with eastern mem
bers; and it is no great wonder that
tho people of this coast are beginning
to become somewhat embittered to
ward our neighbors on the other side
of the Rockies. Our situation will
naturally present questions, which are,
more or less sectional, and unless tho
east consents to allow us to say what is,
or is not, for our advantage and ceases
presuming to tell us what we do, or do
not, want, it is to be feared we will
stand but a poor show of receiring our
fair share of attention. Some of our
law makers profess to see such won
derful riches, present and prospective,
in these islands as to desire their an
nexation to the United States. This,
of course, is one step too far for even
the most devoted admirer of Sir Claus
and his islands, to seriously expect to
carry the govprnment. But it serves
to show something of tho sentiment
which at present prevails, and points
but too clearly at the end of our hopes
of relief from the sugar monopoly.
One of the silliest, thinest, most con
temptible, subterfuges yet resorted to,
to cscapo the consequnces of criminal
carlessness, is that of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company in relation
to tho recent calamity on their road.
It is now insisted, by tho company
and its employes, that tho accident
was caused by tramp releasing
the brakes, and that their purpose was
robbery. It would certainly sepm that
this company had sufficiently earned
the condemnation of the public by the
commission of the great crime of a few
days ago, without attempting to insult
it with such a shadowy excuse. This
beggarly ghost of a trumped up
theory, only aggravates their guilt, by
showing the extremes to which they
find thembelves reduced.
