The third party movement inaugurated
at Cincinnati the other day may well
sound a solemn note of warning in the
ears of the republican party. On the
lines of this convention the third party's
continuance in existence forebodes the
restoration to power of the democratic
party. The South was not represented
and the eta tea in the north and west,
heretofore republican have become the
strongholds of the new movement. If
this state of affairs continues it simply
means a solid south and a divided north
and that in turn means the triumph of
democracy, for the most sanguine mem
bers of the new party can scarcely hope
to carry the next presidential election.
It is evident that intelligent democrats
take this view of the case for a late issue
of the Portland Telegram says :
If the people's party can carry any
Western state hitherto republican, or
can pull enough votes hitherto republi
. can in any such state to give in to the
democracy, it will have performed a very
valuable service for the people of the
whole country.
The first thing to accomplish is the
overthrow of the republican party, and
if any of these third-party men really
consider themselves, as charged by the
republican organs, as "democratic as
sistants," their intentions are to be
commended. . .
If the deluded Western farmers and
Eastern laborers can't jump clear out of
the republican party into the democratic
camp all at once, they can at least aban-
don the old party for a new one. The
only strange thing is that any of these
new party .men should have been dem
ocrats. . ' - ' .
i. .., .1 ... '
... .The, Chbonicle has no fight to make
with the new third party or "any other
party but it does seem to us that no
sane man could expect a party to hang
together for any length of time, or ac
complish any. lasting good with so many
impracticable . and visionary theorists
connected with it. Can it be possible
that any man believes that it is proper
for the United States government to go
into the business of loaning money to
one or any class of ' its citizens at two
per cent., or any other per cent? As
well talk of furnishing wheat at twenty
. -cents a bushel when it is worth eighty
cents. Can the party seriously enter
tain the thought, in the teeth of the
constitution of the United States, of the
, government seizing all lands held by the j
railroads in access of their actual needs?
As well talk of confiscating the lands of
every farmer who holds in excess of that
needed for his actual support. Can any
fair-minded person endorse the senti
ment that it is right to' force an alien
who has acquired property in this coun
try to Bnrrender it to the government,
except as provided in the right of emin
. ent domain. The people of the United
States could not enforce such a law with
out destroying the constitution itself. It
may have been wrong to have allowed
aliens to acquire property. It is right
" to shut 'them off from acquiring . more.
It will never be right to deprive them
hy force of that which they have ac-
' quired legally and peacefully. These
'and other doctrines that breathe the
spirit of anarchy and commumism must
' be eliminated from the creed of the new
party before it can 'ever command the
respect of, the honest reflecting 'people
of the United States. . ..
" It is little wonder that our transporta
tion companies should claim that they
cannot afford to make cheaper rates. It
costs them too much to kill off op'posf
. ' tion. It must have taken a lot of money
to wreck the Great Republic, but the
company has made it all back in not hav
j ing the least opposition from that day to
; this, i -The Astorian is authority for say
ing that the Wilmington, now about) to
be put on the line between T'oi-tland and
Coos Bay has lain in Oakland' creek for
' a longtime getting $126o a month for do-
ing nothing. , That $14,40) a,1 year came
. out of the pockets of the ' people in the
shape-of increased rates. It would be
' interesting to know how ; much 'it has
co&t the railroad company, in the .'past
twenty years to keep the Columbia closed
- and to cut. off opposition between this
city and Portland;, We hope the day is
at hand when the infernal business will
- end forever. . . . 4; ; ;

: The Portland sugar merchants must
be the smallest men on earth: A while
ago they got scared to death because the
only firm in The' Dalles' that buys from
the refineries was reported as selling
sugar half 'a cent a pound cheaper than
they were. ' So 'they clubbed together
and sent two of their number' to San
Francisco to fix things up with Clans
Spreckels and it is to be inferred that
they got satisfaction for a few days ago
it was announced that they were how
selling half a cent cheaper than The
Dalles but they are not for the firm in
question says they are able and willing
to meet the- Portland merchants at any
price they may put on.
' Recent experiments in grafting' the
skin of a white person on a negro and
vice versa have resulted in the discovery
that while colored skin transplanted on a
white man will lose its color and .become
white, white skin grafted upon a negro
will never, become black. ' From, this it
will be seen that the old scriptural query,
"Can the Etheopean change his skin?"
has found an answer in the discoveries of
modern science. ,
The Union Pacific has raised the rate
on feed from San Francisco to Astoria
from $2 to $7 a ton whereat Astoria
merchants are mad and charge the thing
as having been done at the instance of
Portland.
Doinic Poor Baslness.
A gentleman who visited the Lower
Cascades yesterday reports that the
river is rising about ten inches per day,
which is very encouraging to fishermen.
The catch of salmon, however continues
to be very light. He visited six wheels
and saw hardly any salmon at all, the
principal fish being taken in the wheels
being suckers and young sturgeon, of
which there were great numbers, and
some large sturgeon. The gill net fisher
men up there are not putting out their
nets, as they do not catch enough fish to
pay for the wear and tear of the nets.
The fishermen are hopeful that the rise
in the river will bring up a run of fish.

Reviewing English weather and
wheat since 1775, Nature draws the in
ference that rainfall rules the harvests
far more potently than mean tempera
ture. The mean summer temperature of
the years of superior crops has exceeded
by only 1.80 that of the years of inferior
crops. The mean rainfall for the sum
mers of bad crops has been 2.9 inches
more than that of good seasons, ' which
means that the wet summers had half as
much more rain with a consequent de
ficiency of the sunshine so vital to the
growth and maturity of the plants than
the dry ones. The wheat yield follows
the rainfall inversely, being greatest in
the hot, dry summers, and least in the
wet, sunless summers.

I once spent a winter with a famttr
die mother and the daughters performed
most of the household service only
In a woman on wash days and. for , extra
work. . ';"' " - ' 4
They were in moderately" comfortable cir-!
cumstances, and considering their habits
and tbeir income, should 'never have been,
greatly worried about money matters.' But
the daughters were always in debt, and the
mother, who wan a widow, was in a per
petual worry about bills. The allowances
were always spent before they were re
ceived, and the' aggregate indebtedness was
far more than the nam provided, so that
the surplus debt accumulated rapidly. It
was a puzzle to Me for some time how tbey
managed to get into such corners. They
bought continually and bought ' good
things, but never seemed to have anything
fit to wear except their most recent pur
chases. What became of the many articles
which were brought into the house I could
never imagine, until one day I overheard
a conversation that let light in upon, the
subject.
One of the daughters had been caught in
a rainstorm the night before, and her dress
was soaked, mud splashed and torn. She
had taken it off hurriedly, dropped it on
the floor in one corner of the room and for
gotten it, she said, and it was one mass of
wrinkles and creases. She gave it a few
dashes with the whisk broom, then in dis
gust declared that it was no good and that
she would throw it into the heater. Suit
ing the action to the word, she bundled ur
the dregs, took it to the cellar and a mo
ment later nothing remained of it but
ashes. A few days later an ont of season
hat and some ill fitting but expensive shoes,
only half worn, went the same way.
When articles were inquired for some ex
cuse was made for their non-appearance,
and as time went on they were forgotten.
The mother was a happy-go-lucky sort of
person, who was to an extent ruled by her
daughters, and they .silenced her remon
strances whenever she ventured, and by
declaring that the things were perfectly
useless, and why not have them out of the
way?
Articles of furniture requiring only a
moment's repairs were broken up for
kindling, tins with a speck of a hole in
were given to the ashman, and everything
and anything the puttingin order of which
took time or pains were disposed of in the
same way. But it was into the capacious
jaws of the heater that the goods and chat
tels of that family went, and wastefulness
and extravagance took on a new meaning
to me after that winter's experience with
the beater as a consuming element. New

A mistake which cost the British govern
ment about as much territory as there is in
the state of Rhode Island has come to
light. The error consists of the fact that
the iron monuments at Blaine, and for
many miles east of there, are 8(i0 yards
north of the - forty-ninth parallel, which
should be the next boundary line.
- Ensign Edward Moale, Jr.. of the United
States navy, and connected with the United
States coast survey, tells the story. Three
years ago Ensign Moale was on the United
States surveying schooner which was op
erating in the vicinity of Blame. The au
thorities at Washington sent out charts
containing "the latitude and longitude,
which are filled in with the result of the
surveys.
Attached . to the Bchooner was Assistant
S. S. Gilbert, who had charge of the party
working on shore. He sent in a platted re
sult of 'his work, . which was filled into
maps received from headquarters at Wash-,
ington. ,' When Gilbert's charts were- plat
ted in these maps it was fonnd that the
boundary monuments at Blaine, and for a
distance east thereof, were 860 yards to the
north of the forty-ninth parallel.
' "At first we thought we were mistaken,"
said Ensign Moale, "and carefully went
over the work time and again, only to
verify the fact that the boundary monu
ments were farther north than they should
be." ......
"How did the mistake occurf" , '
"I suppose when the boundary line sur
vey was made in 1853 under the direction
of the joint .American and English com
mission that a slight error was made by
the surveyors in northern Montana or the
Rocky mountains. This was trifling at
the start, but kept widening out until it
covers 860 yards wide at the Straits of
Georgia."
i "Can the British demand the territory
back?" . , .
"No, they cannot, because the boundary
line between the United States and Can
ada is fixed by these monuments, which
are of iron and are placed every mile from
the Lake of the .Woods -to toe straits of
Georgia. From the Lake of the Woods to
the Atlantic the boundary line, is fixed by
the lakes and rivers. This fact has .never
beeen officially reported to Washington."

Sir Edgar Boehnu
' Among the most interesting of his rec
ollections are those concerning the Elchi
Bey of the Crimea, whose statue will be
considered by many among Sir Edgar's
finest works. He described the fascinat
ing effect of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's
personal appearance, his stern iron bound
jaw, sparkling blue eye, clear cut feat
ures, overhanging brows, and the haughty
carriage of his bead.
"Any one who ever saw him under any
circumstances," he said, "must have guess
ed at once how great a man he was."
Then he went on to tell stories of the Ei
chi'a passionate temper and good heart,
and how he was lord of the : Turk and the
Russian and of the government at home
by right equally of his commanding intel
lect and his fiery, unbridled moods.
"I thought I should have had him down
on me once," said Sir Edgar, ' humorously.
"He did not like the bust I had made of
him, and. knitting his great brows on me,
he shouted out. 'Why. you have made me
look like a bad tempered man!'" '
- A story, as being specially characteristic
of the sculptor himself, must be given. He
was dining with a' score of friends, each
with a score of years of success, upon his
shoulders, when the old question was rais
ed as. to who. would care to go through the
pains and pleasures of life a second time.
I would, that I might build ' up my bird
once more," cried that stanch old natura
list, Owen.
"And L" said Sir Edgar. "Then I would
take all my statues off their pedestals and
do them over again. "Blackwood's Maga-
