The New York Mail and Express gives space to a campaign song in which occurs the following astonish ing metapher: Sing tho song of freedom, boys, anil let its echoes ring Marching with our banner like tho eagles on the wing. General Sherman is now tho last survivor of the great generals of the Union. Grant, Sheridan, Thomas, Hancock, Meade, McClellan, Burn side; Hooker, Custer men whose name and fame were household words twenty-five years ago have all gone over to the great majority. Some of the Republican papers are busily at work constructing cabinets for Mr. Harrison. This is counting chickens before the eggs are laid, a proceeding which Mr. Hayes, a loyal Republican and a gentleman eminent in the poultry line, has repeatedly reproved as unbusiness-like and mis leading. m The secretary of the interior has affirmed the decision of the commis sioner of the general land office of November 18, 188G, in an appeal of the Oregon Central railway, sustaining the homestead entry of Samuel Adams for land in section 17 of the Vancouver, Washington territory, land district Adams settled on the land in 1868, and improved it to the extent that on the date of final proof, which was filed in 188G, it was valued at S1.200. The Oregon Central Railroad company claimed the land as granted them by congress in 1871. Tho lands were re restored to the public domain in 1885, when Adams filed his application for a homestead. TrtE question of a broad or narrow gauge is being discussed in reference to the proposed road to Clatsop. It is believed that while a standard gauge road would cost more, yet the resultant advantages would justify the increased expenditure. Looking to connection with trauscontinent.il roads, it will be seen that a narrow gauge is exceedingly limited. A nar row gauge would accommodate all local traffic, but in making connection with rolling stock from a broad gauge road, it would be at a serious disad vantage. Other communities situated almost exactly similar to this, have started in by building narrow gauge roads and then, attor completing a good part of their proposed lines, have found it necessary after all to change everything to a broad gauge plan to accomplish broader results. It has been proved that binco his nomination for tho vice-presidency L. P. Morton ha? cut off his side whiskers. This is serious and should be looked into. A man who will cut off his side whiskers is justly an ob ject of suspicion. It is in order for Mr. Morton to explain why lie cut off his side whiskers. It is also reported that Ben Harrison has cut home of tho lower limbs oiT his trees in his front yard in Indianapolis. A man who would willfully cut the lower limbs off a tree in his front yard is a dangerous man, and an enemy to the best interests of the republic. These matters should be looked into care fully. Candidates demanding the suffrages of their enlightened fellow citizens should have reasons for their conduct, and while ordinary actions might be overlooked, such deeds as cutting offside whiskers and pruning lower limbs should not be allowed to pass by without suitable explanation. Oxn reason why the censors of pub lic tastes or morals aro disposed to bear heavily upon the press is tin habit of the press ot professing a "mission," and pluming itself upon its influence on popular thought and action. The sober truth is that the mission of a newspaper is to provide the necessaries and, if possible, tho luxuries of life for those whose in come is derived from it, and this mis sion centers in the business depart ment, to which the editorial staff must of necessity be subordinate. The income of a newspaper results from its advertising patronage and this, in turn, from the degree of suc cess attained in procuring readers which is the ultimate test of its edit ors. All useful callings influence public thought and action, and all classes of workers like to think and talk about their importance in the bodv-nohtic By means of associa tion, and by segregation of their spe cial interests from the mass, the va rious trades and professions are induced and enabled to establish and enforce standards of conduct among their own members which tend to preserve and increase whatsoever is useful and good among them, and in this way the public derives a special benefit The press is not lacking in such agencies nor specially negligent in working them to the best advan tage; consequently it fairly reflects tho averaee of publio morals and manners, and if these be less sound and lofty than they ought to be, the blame must be spread over the whole community and not laid npon section of it. one Not much has been said of late about the whalo industry in Utah, and yet it is by no means a thing of the past in thatterritory. It appears that about fifteen years ago a scientific Englishman by the naino of James Wickham put this and that together and became convinced that whales could be raised in the Great Salt Lake. The scheme was put on foot. The greater part of two years was occupied off the coast 5f Australia by a vessel sent especially for the pur pose in continued efforts to catch young whales without injury. Finally two beasts, each about thirty-five feet long, were captured and shipped to San Francisco in 1873 in tanks built expressly for them. Fifty tanks of sea water accompanied their overland shipment. Mr. Wickham came from London in person to superintend the "planting" of his leviathan pets. He selected a small bay, built a wire fence half a mile across it, and in the the pen so formed turned the whales loose. After disporting themselves in a lively manner for a few minutes, they made a dive for the deep water and shot through the wire fence as it it had been made of threads. In twenty minutes they were out of sight. When it is remembered that Great Salt Lake is seventy-live miles long and from thirty to forty miles wide, Mr. Wickhaui's situation will be appreciated as he stood gazing helplessly as the young whales disap peared in the big body of salt water. He went back to London leaving be hind him an agent to look after his floating property. Ever since these animals have been seen at intervals, spouting and playing. The other day Mr. Wickham cabled directions to make a careful inspection and re port developments The agent fol lowed the whales five successive das and nights. He reports that the or iginal pair are now sixty feet in length, and are followed by a school of several hundred young, varying in length from three to fifteen feet. From this it appears that the scheme is a great success, and the enormous value of the new industry will be seen when it is remembered that a single whale produces twenty tons of pure oil. Reiirs Shouldn't Re Hel.l Too Tislit. There is a Portland correspondent nt tho beach who is a bright young man. Hid letters are usually crisp and interesting. Ho missed fire last week and wrote a lot of bosh. Why? Recanso ho tried to sermonize And on what, do you think? "Young girls at the seaside." Imagine a correspondent trying to advise mothers as to the caro of their daughters, and telling them that thej should retire at nine etc., etc. Now, all morality recognize tho fact that a place like tho beach offers great opportunities for folly and wrong doing. Butjouthis youth all thn world over. Young blood flows swift and warm through pulsing veins. xoung hearts long for companion ship, and young brains indulge sweet dreams of things to come. A healthful young girl can no more bo content with hum-drum duties, without some pleasant experiences to brighten her life, than a humming bird can be content in a cage. To attend to her daily duties, to hear no word of prniso for her labors, and to retire at nine on a beautiful moonlight night Why, its simply torture to a girl with n spark ot spirit or sentiment And yet this is what many mothers and women who call themselves good mothers demand. Did it ever striko yon that such parents were responsible for many of the newspsper articles headed: "Strange disappearance," "Gone wrong," "Eloped," etc,? Hurrah For The Last Picnic!

How Charles Crocker STe4 the Centra! l' ciflc Railroad Company. Shortly nf tcr the few bravo men who inauguated the Central Pacific Kailroad company had their road built as far as Newcastle they were in debt and despondency, h. L. Kobinson, who then owned the old original railroad from Freeport to Folsom, was laughing in his sleeve at what he called "the Dutch Flat swindle." Thn Rfncna then went from Folsom to the great mining camps of Nevada, es- Eecially to Virginia City. It was the oast of this Freetrort and Folsora road that the Central Pacific Kailroad would never be built bevond Newcastle. One morning Charles Crocker lett San Francisco on the steamer with three pentlemen. one of whom was E. A. Iiock well, afterward ono of the editors of the Bee. The steamer stopped at Freeport, nnd thn Freermrt and Folsom railroad immediately took away the mail for Vir ginia Lilly, a spirueu warn mos wuuiuk for Charles Crocker and his companions. and thev immediately dashed oif for Sacramento City. An engine was wait ing for them at the depot, and Charles Crocker gave orders to the engineer to run the engine at every pound of steam she could stand. The road was then un balanced and in very poor condition. After they had passed beyond the American river the engineer lowered his rate of speed, and at the same time told Charles Crocker that it was dangerous to run at the rate they Were running. Mr. Crocker immediately said: "If you are afraid, you had better get off the engine. He then took hold of the lever and pulled it to the farthest limit. There was no doubt in the world but that the men who were with Charles Crocker were afraid every minute that the train would iumn the track. But Charles Crocker never moved a muscle, and stood at the lever until the train reached Newcastle. At Newcastle there was a four-horso stage waiting for them, and they galloped the horses until they reached Auburn. At Auburn was a fresh team, and at eich ten miles between that place and Virginia City there was a relay of horses. At various points along the mountain roads, even the drivers were afraid to obey Mr. Crockery orders, and on two instances he took the reins himself and whipped the team into a good gallop. The result of tho whole exciting, wild and dashing race was that Charles Crocker presented in the business office of the Virginia City Enterprise r copy of the San Francisco Bulletin twelve hours before the opposition reached tho citv. That was the death blow to the Free- port and Folsom road and the salvation of the Central Pacific. A few years after that the rails on the Freeport and Fol som road were torn up, and to-day the old grade bed ot tlie road may be seen by anybody who drives down to Freeport a lasting monument to a pincKy man.
