Springfield, 111.. Jan. 13 From nrea-
ent appearances it will not be unfair to
assume that democratic domination in
Illinois will resume where it left off
nearly forty years ago. The return of
democrats t power in this state must be
regarded as an experiment. Democrats
and their administration will be tested,
and if it be found that thev furnish a
better government than their nrede
cessors in office democratic power will be
strengthened. Otherwise they will be
condemned and quickly set aside.
Outside the appointive - power the
functions of the governor amount to
little. The constitution and the laws do
not impose upon the governor onerous
duties of personal service. He is per
mitted to remit his functions to subordi
nates comprising boards of various sorts
and in some instances to an individual
It is t hese subordinate officials who
character and complection to a state ad
ministration. With good men in the
places good administration may be ex
pected. With bad men placed in power
the democratic administration, so hone
x
fully begun will end in shame and dis
aster. With men of mediocrity filling
the boards and other positions of admin
istrative autboritv the adminintrat.inn
of Gov. Altgeld will be colorless, lacking
the aavanages of practical politics, and
without the commendation of positive
merit. . :
The "gang" is after the governor mer
cilessly, as was expected, and the pub
lic, knowing the circumstances, is likelv
, j
to be unusually critical in its analysis of
appointments. Mis friends haveetmfi
dentlv assured the txnnl that, ha ia i
brave, courageous man, determined to
do right, full of sound ideas on public
policy, opposing not onlv the abuses of
politics, but likewise the failures of gov
ernment. On the bench he was admit
quents and malefactors. His popularity

band, there have been harsh things said
about Judge Altgeld ; and now that he
is seated as governor manv of his od-
ponents predict official failure. Thv
assert that he is in league with batf
men ; that he was nominated - bv bad
men. and that tin will colon V.o1
form his state government, and the trial
of democracy in this state will be a flat
failure. 5 i

ABOUT THE DALLES.
A Lovely Spot for Grand and Pictur
esque Scenery.
Special to Thk Chbonicle.J
The Dalles, Jan. 12. As yet Wasco
county is too young to be of note in
places of historic interest ; but for grand
and picturesque scenery it certainly
cannot be excelled. - Any of the high
points around The Dalles will amply
repay the climber in picturesque sur
prises spread out before him. The de
lightful memories of a drive through
the entire length of the Hood river val
ley, with a day and night passed in the
company of Mount Hood, at Cloud Cap
Inn, can never be effaced from the minds
of those who have experienced the trip
Yet there is a point nearer The Dalles
which in its way, has a value of its own,
not to be found at Cloud Cap Inn 7,000
feet above the sea, nor in the company
of the grand old mountain, with his
towering head of snow; nor in its gla
cial beds with their interesting moraine,
deep crevasses and frozen cataracts.
This point is twentv-two miles from
The Dalles at the summit of the Des
Chutes ridge, the highest point between
the Tygh ridge and the Columbia river,
acre, o,uuu iees aoove tne sea, in a
radius of 100 miles, seven snow peats are
visible. Can so many snow peaks be
TT a rff r . . . . .
seen at once from any other point in
this state?
One hundred miles away to the south
In Crook county, the North Sister and
Mount Condon, two peaks of The Threo
Sisters, are seen. In the southwest,
on the boundary line between Linn and
Crook counties, Mount Jefferson "falls
in line." A little to south of west our
own Mount Hood boldlv rises in full
view, almost within sneaking distance.
Here ends the view of the Oregon
snow peaks; but our gaze sweeps on
toward the north into Washington,
where St. 'Helens timidly shows her
head through a gap of the Columbia
Tr ... -
farmer on in tne circumference of our
vision, but geographically nearer, Mount
Adams towers as stately from the south
west corner of Yakima county aa Mount
Hood risea majestically from the west
ern boundary of Wasco county." And
last, but not least, for this is the highest
peak in the Cascade range, Mount
Rainier speaks to us from Pierce co'mty,
telling of Sound cities. Beyond Rainier
is a range of eerrated snow peaks, not
ujilike" the Olympic range, but late in
the summer their snow disappears.
All these snow peaks, with their
mountain ranges, plateaus, foothills
arid valleys testify of a Creator,
whose wisdom and power "comprer
hended the dust of the earth in a meas
ure, and weighed the mountains in
scales, and the hills in a balance."
Let no one allow an opportunity to
escape by not visiting this point, taking
a clear, sunshiny day for the drive.

i .V easels Unable to Hove.
New Yobk, Jan 12. Several tugs with
heavy coal tows are fast In the ice in the
upper bay. The pilots are unable to
get them away from the shore of Staten
island,;"! During a blinding snow storm
today a number of vessels were driven
ashore along the Jersey coast. It is es
timated that $50,000,000 worth of freight
much of it perishable', is lying on the
piers unable to he moved on account of
the ice blockade. . '
Colorado Canyon Navigation.
Green River, Utah, Jan. 12. Yes
terday afternoon the twin screw launch
Major Powell started from the mouth of
San Rafael river for a trip through the
catarrtct canyon of the Colorado river.
The craft made the twelve miles in an
hour, being . thrown from side to' side of
the stream in a helpless condition;'. She
managed to escape the rocks, but at the
mouth of the cataract struck a snag and
sunk. Every one escaped. This is the
first trip ever made by-a craft of her
size. ,
The Ice King of 1793 Be-Appcars.
Ottawa, Ont.. Jan. 12: Niagara falls
presents a beautiful sight. A complete
ice . bridge covers what is known as the
Bjg Kettle, extending from about 100
feet : below the suspension bridge to
within fifty feet of the foot of the falls.
This is the first time in 100 years this
has happened. . . '

Topeka, Jan. 13. Special. Yester
day morning, when It waa announced
that the republicans were making prep
arations for bringing mandamus pro
ceedings in the supreme court to compel
the secretary of state to turn over the
papers in the contested cases, the ut
most confusion prevailed. Both houses,
met at the appointed time, but neither
attempted to do any business. Mrs.
Lease was present and encouraged the
populists to stand firm. , The republi
cans expected that the governor and
senate would recognize the populist
house this afternoon ; they were looking
for such action, but were prepared to
maintain their organization and leave
the hall peaceably, should the governor
send the adjutant-general to dispossess
them, and go to a hall down town and
continue their sessions. This was the
situation at noon. After recess how
ever, and during roll call by the repub
lican house, the democratic members
announced that they bad held aloof as
long as was proper for them to do 80,
but now, believing the republican house
the only, properly organized one, they
would recognize it as eueh. The' an
nouncement was received with wild
demonstration by the republicans. The
populists are very much depressed.
Powderly's Estimates. '
Scranton, Pa., Jan. 12. Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly, in an address
to the union carpenters, said : "I am a
socialist and I say' it without blushing.
If the avowal brings condemnation, I
am willing to take it. I am one of 65,
000,000 socialists in this country. I be
lieve the railroads and public highways
should be nationalized and that the tel
egraph system should be owned and op
erated by the government." It ia
thought that the estimate of himself is
all right, but as to the sixty-five million
others he is slightly off his base.
Republicans are Easy.
Illinoftian. If congress fails to meet
in an extra session it will mean another
year of republican protection and pros
perity, only so far as threatened injury
will affect business.' If they do meet
and 'smash the tariff, the sooner the
hii8ery will ' end upon the trial. The
thing for every business man to do is to
make the most and best of his opportun
ities. . No interest should be allowed to
sag that can be kept alive and active.
Ohio River Ice Gorge.
Cincinnati,. Jan. 12. The ice gorge in
the river is causing serious apprehen
sion of a coal famine. This- supply is
the shortest - the city has known in
twenty years. Coal is $6 and $6.50 per
ton, while directly across the river at
Covington and Newport it is only $4.
There was crape on the door of the
justice shop in East Pendleton precinct
yesterday, says the E. O.; and a space
in the sign had been filled with a word
Which made the legend read, "Peter
gone West."1 The wags are waiting to
see how ; Justice West will enjoy this'
joke when he returns from the United
States court in Portland. ,
