..Editor,
Cattsc Tor Regret.
The Portland Journal .of Com
merce comes to -tlio.irontlwitli the
announcement that 'mbar tug
shoullLbe alife to take vessels to
sea as soon as. cargo is complete."
So it should, and so- it would,
provided that there wasn't so little
distance between the bottom of
the ship and the bottom of the
channel, that ship masters and bar
pilots are naturally chary about
taking the risk except on favorable
opportunities. Our well informed
contemporary is also on deck with
the equally authentic information
that as soon as powerful iron tugs
are placed on the bar "disasters at
the Columbia gateway will be un
known." Whether our journalistic
seer knows this to be a fact, or
whether the above confiscations of
prophetic light are simply his own
personal opinions, he does not say.
Tf what is said by the Portland
papers about the bar is so, it is
cause for regret that Mrl Thompson
should be troubled with tlfe duty
of appearing before or behind a.
committee to demonstrate the ne
cessity .of bar improvement. If it
is not so, how silly of our Portland
contemporaries to be eternally
maintaining that nothingis wanted
but more tugs, when the- know in
their souls that the great need of
the Northwest to-day is the im
provement of the bar, so that ves
sels of any draught may safely
enter and promptly go out to sea.
Ci.st or the Trial.
Thk cost of the Guitcau trial is
estimated at Washington all the
way from 8100,000 to $300,000.
The largest bills will be those of
the associate counsel for the prose
cution-7-Judge Porter, of New
York, and Mr. Davidge, of Washington-
wlio;ifiM"?tthought,"Bwill
ask 25,000 each. Next will come
the demands of the official steno
graphers, who have made verbatim
reports of the proceedings--, and
furnishing the District Attorney
fifteen copies every morning, for
all of which they will expect from
810,000 to $15,000. About two
hundred witnesses have been sum
moned, making a heavy aggregate
of witness fees, especially in the
matter of the twonty-five experts
called for the prosecution, who
will not only receive the usual al
lowance and mileage, but the value
they put on their services during
the days, or weeks that they have
been in' attendance on the trial.
Then there is maintenance of the
assassin, the pay of extra bailiffs,
printing, and a hundred inciden
tals. To" all which must be added,
in the now generally accepted
event of conviction, the expenses
of execution, and it can safely be
baid that no part of the bill will
be paid morn chew fully by the
average tax paver than the last
item.
The mainsprings of human ac
tions are variously tempered.
Temperance reformeia are con
gratulating themselves upon the
fact that less brandy was con
sumed in France in 18S1 than in
1SS0, and in 1880 than in 1S79,
when, as it appears from a French
journal, it. is not that the Gallic
taste for that liquor is being led to
gentler tipple, but that the dis
gusted Frenchmen have been so
often and so long deceived by con
cocted imitations that they have
quit in sheer despair of getting the
genuine -article.
Discussion the matter of con
gressional investigation respecting
the forfeited railroad grants, the
eastern champions of legalized
robbery now advance the specious
plea that the whole question is
outside any congressional inter
ference, and becomes a simple
question of law .to be decided by
the courts. This is too absurd to
need comment.

Astohiax office. A full line- of over

A Stock Ranch.
Ne.u: Cimmaron, New Mexico,
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fo railroad company .1 uns its line
for a considerable distance through
the Maxwell ranch, which contains
ono million seven hundred thou
sand acres of land. This magnifi
cent property was acquired by the
man whose name it now bears,
first, -by marriage with one of the
heirs, and then by purchase of the
interests of the co-heirs. The
ranch is now owned by an Eng
lish company, who are at presont
engaged in building "a fence
around its entire area. They pro
pose to devote it to the raising of
blooded stock horses and neat
cattle. To that end they have
already sent tv number of blooded
animals from England. Among
the stock that have arrived at the
ranch arc . the celebrated racing
stallion Uhlan, and twenty three
thoroughbred marcs, all with foal
to famous English flyers. The
fact that this stock is now in New
Mexico, accounts, perhaps, for the
offers of certain well-known Eng
lish turfmen just after the brilliant
victories of the American horses
Iroquois and Foxhall, to bet that
a winner of the Derby, in the near
future, would be bred in New
Mexico.
Grand preparations. hav been
made for the comfort of these aris
tocratic scions of the turf. A cor
ral two hundred feet square, sur
rounded by an adobe wall, on the
inner side of which spacious box
stalls has been erected. When
all the contemplated arrangements
have been completed, the Maxwell
ranch will not only be the largest
but the best appointed stock faim
in the world, and there is little
doubt of the boast of the
projectors that many winners of
future Derbys will be bred in
New Mexico.
Tub Albany Democrat thinks
that if Mr. George wants to be re
elected he ought to at once ex
plain to th'ivpeoplc'of tliat fsecfion1
why it was that he asked foe $430,
000 for the improvement of the
Columbia river bar, -and for Ya
quina bay "the modest little sum
of $60,000." It is evident that
the Albany Democrat does not
realize the fact that "ask and you
shall receive,'' does not hold good
in the matter of Congressional ap
propriations. Pjsofessok Soktmei:, after elab
orate research, concludes that the
annual loss on coins by friction or
abrasion, alone, reaches 17G3
pounds of gold and 101,384: pounds
of silver. The same authority
claims that 1 S4,G30 pounds of gold
and 1,028,084 pounds of silver are
annually consumed in the arts. lie
estimates that in fifty yeais the
arts have consumed one-third of
the production of gold and one
fourth that of silver.
Ex-Pkksident Zachary Taylor's
daughter, who now lives in Vir
ginia, received recently from the
Treasury of the United States the
sum of $10,000, which was the ox
act ba'ance of salary that would
have been paid General Taylor if
he had lived until the expiration
of his term of office. The pay
ment was made in accordance
with authority contained in the
Deficiency bill at the last session
ofTlongress.
It would seem as though Page
of California, is desirous of divid
ing the "honors with S. S. Cos and
Pjoctor Knott as a congressional
humorist. He has brought a bill
before that honorable body, mak
ing the date of the discovery of
America a legal holiday. It will
probably be as hard to tell when
this little bit of cosmic dust was
discovered as it would to get the
bill through congress.
One of the funniest things that
has come under our observation
for some lime is the fact of Utah's
governor, at the recent session of
the legislature, recommending in
his message, that polygamy be
abolished, when every member of
the legislature to whom the mes
sage was read is a polygamist.
Railroad Legislation.
Kkauan is not the only man in
Congress who believes the timo
has come for our national legisla
ture to chock the aggression of
rails odds by an inter-htate com
merce act. - Henderson, of Illinois, (
is determined to push his or some '
other intor-htato commerce bill j
through Congress- this session ift
possible. He says legislation of!
the character indicated is nbso-'
lutely necessary , hot only for pro
ducer.s and traders, but for rai
road stock-holders. He points to !
the qrowinsr. abuse underwhich a
few rich speculators, desirous of
controlling certain railroads, in
augurate a war of rates Against
such roads in order to depreciate
the stock that they may purchase
at cheaper rates. He thinks that
for the protection of the stock
holders and the producers and
traders, a minimum as well as a
maximum freight rate should be
fixed.
It is biligular, the lack of friend
liness or even favor with which
his own party associates look up
on Ex-President Hayes.
