ACROSS THE CONTINENT. ,
Telegraphic arjnounceiaent ia made
to-day that after December 1 trains
will run regularly direct between
Omaha and Portland, Oiegon, and
that the time wi 1 be, for a throngh
trip, three days. Hpw that an
nouncement will make the pulse3 of
the old. mossbacka up under the
shadow of Mount Hood bound. They
will fihake their h ads and declare at
first that thvy do not believe it, and
will show why it iuuat be mpossi le.
S o fancy the reasoning will be about
as follews:
Yer see, Jfarier, it cati't be. Don't
yer re t ember, we was fifty-throe days
makin' it from tho Missoury to the
Kockies, 'nd wc had, five yoke of the
Smartest steers ever raised in Mis
soury. j hen we wus forty-lhree days
on the way to Sody Springs, and from
there in we wus seventy-five days,
and they wus rough ones, wasn't they,
MarierY Now they talk of makin' 1
in three days. I won't believe it till
I see it." And when assured of the
f aot, when he sees a morning paper
only three d'ys from Omaha, his next
thought will be: "Whar kin we go,
Marier, thar's no more places left
wnar a man kin be quiet."
It is a marvelous tuing, to be sure.
There are millions of peoplo still
alive who in childhood looked upon
the depths of Oregon as a place as
far removed aud as impossible of ap
proach as central Asia itself. Now,
over mountain and river, tho way is
made smooth, and tho time is so anni
hilated that the roar of Niagara is
but four days removed Irom the roar
which 13 made when the big seas
comes in from the west and make
their war on tho Columbia's bar.
u'remont is called "The Path Finder,"
but Fremont was months and months
making this distance, Lewis and
Clarke were given grants of lands and
high offices for doing in two years
and four months what the locomotive
now does in six days. Surely tho cry
of "About face, universe! Nations,
forward marchr is heard in theso
modern daj's as it never was before.
There is not a great thing left f r
mortals to perform except to do their
duty. Into the three-score years and
ten of modern lives the work of more
than tho men of old performed in cen
turies is crowded. Ye compass a
continent in a week and the gorgeous
natural scenes of the land are by the
locomotive crowded so close together
that, watching for them from the
train window they move past an but
a panorama whilo wo look. We never
should forget that no other peoplo
oyer beforo possessed such opportuni
ties as do urs; that if with them we
fail of making a worthy record, theu
wo are poor material indied. Salt

Sugar Cheaper Than Dirt.
It will be news to many who havo
not closely perused the mirket that
sugar, next to wheat, has run lowest
down tho scale of prices during the last
few months. The fact has not been
demonstrated to tho people of this
country in any substantial manner,
nor will it be likely to prove any ad
vantage to American consumers to
learn that sugar is so cheap in .Lon
don that it has been seriously pro
posed as a substitute for other prov
ender to fatten hogs and cattle.
Think of common sugar at half a
penny a pound, and the raw roduct
of India selling at seven shillings a
hundred. This condition of the mar
ket has been brought about mainly
by over-production of the beet pro-J what it is again to contend with Eti
duced article from Germany and ropean powers at home. French cap
France, the annual product of the italists have expended sixty million
former country being 900,000 tons. dollars on the scheme, and the
The sugar-beet growers of these coun-J promptness with which another sixty
tries are just now experiencing about . was forthcoming gives indications
the samo drawbacks from ruinously that if the money holds out the de
low prices as the American wheat- (termination is strong enough to carrv

Liverpool. Notwithstanding these
facts regarding two of the most im

coffee and tea with sugar at 10 cents
a pound, and the German and French
man will go on eating their pancakes
and biscuit at three cents a pound
because of the gram laws.
The above
are some of tho jewels that political
economists have hung in the ears of
the commercial system of these threo
countries.
For some years the selectmen of
the adjoining towns of Avon and Can
ton, Conn., have paid a bounty of 50
cents oacn ror au wooacnucKa Kuieu.
The Avon selectmen required the tail.
as a vonoher, and by the Canton se
lectmen the ears wero taken as proof.
Kecently it was discovered that the
number of animals on which the two
townB paid bounty was precisely the
same. Then it dawned on the two
honorable bodies that the unprinci
pled boy hunters of the two tqwns
had collected 50 cents from each town
whenever they bagged a ground-hog.
"Whereupon the selectmen of both
towns with great dignity decided to
pay no more bounties for wood

Mr. Z. O. Batson of McAllister,
Cross Koads, Tenn., was so.ely troub
led with dyspepsia. He writes. "I
have been using Brown's Iron Bit
ters; only used it a short time, and
think I am well." It is ono of the
beauties of the good work accom
plished by this wonderful iron
tonic, that it is done -so speedily.

The Popnlar Veto.
When the first election returns
came in, with overwhelming majori
ties for Cleveland from such states
as Texas and Georgia and uncertain
returns from Illinois and "Wisconsin,
it seemed probable that Cleveland
would have a majority of the popu
lar vote, even if he were not elected
president. But it seems that, after
all, Blaine got a plurality of tho nop
ular voto. and Cleveland, like Hayes,
and Lincoln at his fiist election, is a
minority president.
Blaine's plurality is given bv the
Chicago Trib une as 5,712. Garfield's
plurality was Mfe, not 9018, as the
Tribune gives it Tiidcn's majority
over Hayes was 252,224. Grant's
majority over Greeley iu 1872 was
about 763,000, and over Seymour in
1863 about 300,000. Lincoln's ma
jority over McCIellan was about
400,000. In 1860 Lincoln got 1,886,
452 ont of 4,680,193 votes cast, the
balance, 2,813.741 votes being di
vided between Douglas, Breckinridge
and Bell. In 1855 Buchanan only
got 1,833,169 votes out of 4,033,967
votes cast, the balance being divided
between Fremont and Fillmore. The
Whigs defeated Fremont, as Bo'l
tried ineffectually to defeat Lincoln
four years later.
It seems wonderful that with all
the noise and olamor of our presi
dential elections, and the constant
predictions by orators on each side
that the country will be ruined if
their man is defeated, our elections
should be so close. It 13 not so in
other republics, such as France, or
Mexico. There the winning side
generally get3 three-fourths or five
sixths of the voto3. It is curious,
too, to note how often a disaffection
from one party is offset by a corres
ponding disaffection from the other.
It is estimated in New York lhat
tho number of votes which Cleveland
got from Bepublican mugwumps was
exactly balanced by tho number of
votes whioh Blaine got from Demo
cratic bolters. Had it not been for
the Kev. Mr. Bnrchard the latter
would probably havo outnumbered
tho former, without taking into con
sideration the heavy draft on the Be
publican voto by thoso who cast their
ballots for St. John.
A county treasurer in New Hamp
shire was forced to acknowledge the
other day that the county strong-box
was not only empty, but that his
books wouldn't balance within $18,
000. There was a rumpus and an in
vestigation, but the treasurer carried
a serene expression and was ready to
answer all questions. 4,It really isn't
my fault." he prodeeded to explain.
"You know we want a new bridge
over Lickskillit creek? I had hoped
to build it without calling upon the
taxpayers. That S18.0UO went to
buy wheat, and I calculated on a
profit of at least S3.003 in one deal."
"And you lost all!" "Every dollar.
Wheat went right down on me."
"You might havo known it!" shrieked
one of his bondsmen. "How? Do I
control tho wheat market? I'm sor
ry, gentlemen, real sorry, but I have
the consolation of knowing that while
my two bondsmen lose S18.030, tho
toiling masses will havo the benefit
of the decline in wheat." Wa 7Z
