Portland has had two lobbies in the
legislature for the last three weeks, one
representing the board of trade of that
city, and trying to get a charter passed
that that body endorses; tho other repre
senting the Portland city council, and
working like all get out to get a charter
through that tho city council endorses.
Tho Portland papers think that it is an
even bet that neither charter gets
through, and that Portland will have to
wag along as best she can under its pres
ent charter. That would, indeed, be
sad.
The people of Washington ovidently
understand that an inauguration only
occurs once in four years. A glance at
the advertising columns of tho daily
newspapers indicates that almost every
body who has a room or window on the
the line of march from the capitol to the
White house is willing to rent it. Out of
a score of advertisements tho lowest
price for single windows is $10, or two
for $15. The highest prico asked is $60
per window. The average is from $20 to
$30. One person near Ninth street offers
to rent forty seats at $5 each. The most
exorbitant rentals are at the intersection
of Fifteenth street and tho avenue.
Thirty dollars is the very lowest asked
for a fourth-story window, tho prices in
creasing from that to $50 according to
location.
TO HE IIANCEK NEXT FRIDAY.
J. W. Murray, the condemned Portland
murderer, chatted freely with a Xacs re
porter through the wicket last Sunday,
and pointing to the death watch said:
"They have me cooped up pretty tight at
last. A barber shaved mo to-day, but I
did not let him finish it because he hurt
me so with his dull razor. They wero
afraid to let me shave myself, yoH know
why; but pshew, I wouldn't do anything
like that. My wife sent mo word through
a friond of hers, that sho was sorry for
tho trouble she caused me, and that it
was all the fault of listening to outside
talk. She says sho bitterly regrets tho
past and wishes she could undo it. Sho
comes to her senses at a late day, doesn't
she? You know what trouble a woman
can make for a man when he's married to
her. She can make his homo a hell or a
paradise. I never had a day's luck since
I married her. Well, I married her be
cause she took care of me when I was
sick, and I thought an awful lot of her.
Sho was very young and I gave her too
much her own way. I let her buy every
thing she wanted. I went round in old
clothes. Stories came to mo and I im
agined that everybody know I was a dis
graced man. I thought people pointed
me out on tho streets. When I looked at
my little child it made mo crazy. I can
see that these ideas were foolish now.
but I couldn t then. But I tell you it
works a man up who is a man to have
stories ding-donged into his ears week
after week. I made up my mind to clear
up my debts and leave this place, and
was going to as soon as I had done so.
That morning I intended to go hunting
doyn tho river. If I had only drank
three or four drinks more I would have
gone to sleep and forgotten all about it.
But I didn't, and here I urn in this awful
position.'
Violation or Law.
The Lucayas slipped seaward bound
for a foreign shore last Sunday without
depositing in tho Astoria custom house a
copy of her manifest, thus violating the
statutes of the United States for such
cases made and provided. In so doing
tho captain has laid himself liable to a
fine of $100. This is the second time
the haughty Briton has ignored Colum
bia's laws in this port. On February 7,
1832, Captain Dick in the Scringpatam,
wheat-laden for Cork, went boldly forth
across Columbia's bar without any evi
dence that there was any such place as
Astoria, or that there was any such cus
tom district as tho Oregon district. Shall
such contumoly be borne! Perish tho
thought! The next breeze that sweeps
from tho cast mav brine to our ears the
clash of rosounding arms. Columbia
cannot sit idly by and see her maritime
laws trampled under foot. It isn't the
hundred dellars: it's the principle of tho
thin". (That's what a man said yester
day when asked why ho didn't pay his
city taxes. ) Let no bold Englishman
think that his nation can for tho third
time insult with impunity these thirty
eight states, ten territories and one dis
trict. We'll have a revenue cutter and
fitter out here and demand tho manifests
at tho mouth of the cannon. Let the
English lion beware!
Fastest Ktcrnn heeler Afloat.
Capt. TJ. B. Scott's new steamer, the
Telephone, took a trial trip yesterday
not the final trial trip, but simply to
test the boilers and machinery for the
builders, the Willamette Iron Works.
She made tho trip from here to Vancou
ver, eighteen miles, in 59 minutes the
fastest time it is believed, on record and
sho was working half stroke, turning her
wheel twenty-three revolutions per miiy
ute. With full power sho can make
twenty-eight revolutions per minute.
She had about a three and one-half mile
current with her in the Willamette and
about a two mile current against her in
the Columbia. Tho return trip was
made in one hour and six minutes. Her
hydraulic steering apparatus worked per
fectly, and sho turned around in front of
tho city in what seemed from tho shore
to bo little more than her own length.
Mr. John Gates thinks sho is the fastest
stern-wheel boat ever built. It is ex
pected that she will be able to steam
nineteen miles an hour in dead water.

TIIE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
This is the way it looked, at Salem on
Sunday to a correspondent of tho Xacs:
It was generally expected that when
Hirsch passed the line and had Republi
can votes enough to amount to a caucus
nomination, there would be a break for
him. and that some of his strong support
would move up to him in a way to put
him through by express; but this was not
done, and unless it is done on Monday or
Tuesdny it will set back the leading Re
publican in the race. Some of them
have not kept faith with him, though
they yet have time enough left to do so.
Wh'at there is of the Failing strength
will blossom like tho rose this week, and
tho Failing managers will do as well as
they can here in Salem with no Casino
to help along. The faithful four
Bourne, Riddle, Lee and Therkolson
will not voto by themselves many days
longer if all the plans work, and it is
hinted that tho speaker, who has been
dodging around among the candidates
who are harmlessly mentioned each day,
is not inclined to think any less of a man
because ho is a rich banker. What will
be done in Portland over Sunday I can
not guess, though I suspect that Hirsch
will be slyly pushed aside for Failing in
somo secret meetings. It is a strange,
selfish world, and when you meet a man
you can never be sure as to whether he is
telling the truth or lying on occasions
like this. There are frank glances and
suspicious glances, and everybody goes
along full of some secret thought. It
reminds mo of the poem by Bayard Tay
lor, who describes the English soldiers
on the evening before the battle of Bala
klava, as they sat around their camp fires
and each thought of some dear English
girl, while "all sang Annio Laurie." Up
here at Salem all aro thinking of somo
possible candidate to suddenly jump over
to while each votes for Kelsey, or Hare or
Applegate, or some othor impossibility.
George H. Williams has come to the
conclusion that he has small chance of
being elected, and Hill is by no means so
confident A3 he was. He thought ho
could como up like a roaring steer from
eastern Oregon, and fill tho bill for all
who wanted a candidate without going
to Portland for him. Full of this idea
ho-Ioaned his votes to Hare one day, to
make the Hare men feel good; but after
running with the Hares lie found it not
so easy to get back the hounds as he had
hoped and expected. On the whole, the
Hill candidacy is a queer one. To-day it
looks formidable, and every one is talk
ing about the genuine ability of Lair
Hill; to-morrow you will hear somo scoffer
wonder how Republicans can think for p
moment of elevating a man who tried,
for money, to tear tho party down a few
vears ago. As for Hare, and Kelsej, and
Boise (when he was .in) they represent
the anti-monopoly, no money, granger,
people's candidate, phase of the situa
tion. They are anti-Hirsch, anti-Failing,
still more, and anti everything that
smacks of individual wealth or corporato
power. It is a fact, hanging safely up
all by itself, that these anti-monopoly
and anti-power will certainly turn at any
moment to a man of tho people like
Mitchell, and, egad! they may do so yet
in spite of everybody. There is no or
ganization; there are no managers; there
is none of tho running about and whis
pering that goes along with the "man
aged candidates. Perhaps the others are
too much managed. Even those who
pretend to have no ono on the ground aro
very much favored by men on the ground
who have not two bits of their own to
keep them in Salem. It is at tho same
time a mystery and an open book.
Of late there has been some pretty
broad gossip concerning money. It is
said that there is a fund of $40,000 ready
to pay for Republican votes to elect a
Democratic senator, and perhaps the on
ly reason why somo Republicans, dis
gusted at tho way the joint convention is
fooling along, are not inclined to "flop
over," is the fact that they would surely
be suspected of getting some of the ru
mored $40,000. Minority men can always
go honorably to the best man of tho ma
jority candidate, but when majority men
deliberately go over to help elect a minor
ity candidate, then tb63' might as well
take bribes, if there are any going, for
they will always bear tho name of having
done so.
The Democrats left home with no idea
of electing one of their own party to the
senate, and with a pretty well defined
idea in each instance of which, among
possible ltepublican candidates, their
Democratic constituents would prcfor
that they should vote for. This well
understood choice was, in no instance,
it is fair to say, either of the candidates
now before the legislature.

AFLOAT.
In tho steamer, oh, my darling!
When the foghorns scream and blow,
And tho footsteps of tho steward
Softly come and softly go;
When the passengers are groaning
With a deepnnd sincere woe,
Will you think of mo and love me
As you did not long ago.
In tho cabin, oh, my darling!
Think not bitterly of me,
Tho' I rushed away and left you
In the middle of our tea,
I was seized with sudden longing
To gaze on tho deep blue sea:
It was best to leave you then, dear!
Best for you and best for me.
