It is well known that in all material things progress is impossible without counteracting forces. The constant mo tion of the earth in its orbit depends up on the steadfast action of the centrifu gal and centripetal foroes. It is the ve locity of a stream, continually checked by friction, that makes navigation possi ble. The resistance of material sub stance must be pitted against the attacks of workmen's tools or there would be no trades and no manufac tures. The law is equally binding in the social community, though it is seldom as fnlly recognized. In every society there are two forces, pulling in opposite direction, the one urging what is new and untried, the other clinging fast to the old and resisting the onward movement. Most persons, seeing that the39 forces are apparently contradictory, conclude that one must be right and the other wrong; and, accord ing to their constitutional tendencies TELEiM.

News Items Fr 6m all Over the Northwest. and inclinations, they warmly espouse one of the two sides and stoutly opposa the other. Fortunately for the world, these tendencies are pretty evenly bal anced, and thus societies safely yet surely progress. But if the violent partisans of either side had their own will, if they could convert all the rest to their own way of thinking, the destruc tion of society would bo assured. On the one hand, if all were stubbornly con servative, cleaving rigidly to the past and rejecting all the new ideas because they are new, the community might con tinue to exist, but could hardly be said to live, for all life implies growth, and such a condition would simply be one of stagnation. On the other hand, if there were no resistance to new theories and untried innovations, if every one, soorn ing the experience of the past, rushed headlong into immature projeots and em braced with fervor the many vagaries of wild enthusiasts, suspecting nothing, and investigating nothing, the so ciety would soon exhaust itself and go to pieoes. The complaints so frequently and so loudly made by the propounders of new systems, the discoverers of new truths and the promoters, of various reforms, that it is so hard to obtain sympathy, or even a hearing, would be much calmed down if the benefit of this balance be tween the new and the old were under stood. Some one has said, with truth: "By delay truth ripens falsehoods rot." Especially when the proposition involves the overturn of old and cherished habits, or the destruc tion of theories that have long been held, it is better that it should meet with whatever resistance is sincerely offered. If it contains elements of true progress it.will become established all the more firmly for the patient waiting; if it do not its fallacy will bo the sooner and the mora thoroughly exposed. NewYobk,Nov. 22. Stephen L. Pet tus, secretary and treasurer of the Brook lyn Union Elevated Bailroad, and a mem ber of the firm of Collard, Fettus a Co., 54 Broad street, this city, was shot dead this morning in Fulton street by Miss Hannah Southworth, who refused to give her address to the police when ar rested. Just before 10 o'clock, while Fulton street wa3 crowded with people who had landed from the ferrv. a voune woman wearing a seal skin saoque, trimmed with long black fur, was seen hurrying'along behind a well dressed .man. when in front of No. 10 Fulton street she pulled a 4arge revolver -from -beneath her jdress una urea nve snots in quicx buccbssiuu at the man in front of her, although he fell at the first shot. As the victim writhed and tossed in agony on the side walk, the woman, looking calm and self possessed, actually smiled with apparent satisfaction. In a short" time a great crowd gathered, attracted to the spot by the repeated pistol firing. As the officer arrested her she raised herself to herfull height and, assuming a dramatic posi tion, she hissed between her teetn, point Well: the crowner's quest has got through with the Johnson case, and no body knows any more about the ghastly tragedy than they did the morning after the body was found. There is a good chance for some one with the time to spare to look this matter up. There is a clue that if followed may lead to the de tection of the murderers. Leave ''poli tics" out of the matter, and go for the murderers. They can and should be caught, and their worthless carcasses made to swing on the gallows. The last Democratic governor of Iowa was Stephen Hempstead, of Dubuque, who served from 1850 to 1854 and died in 18S3. Then came in their order James "W. Grimes, aferward United States senater: Balph M. Stone, Samuel I. Kirkwood, William M. Stone, Samuel Merrill, C. C. Carpenter, S. J. Kirkwood again, Joshua G. Newbold, John E. Gear, B. B. Sherman and William Lar rabee. It's a long time between drinks, but the Boies seem to have got there. Idaho cattlemen say the time has gone by for acquiring large fortunes by in vestments on cattle ranges. They can hardly make a living as the businecs now is, all the profits being taken from them by the "Big Four" at Chicago, who regulate prices. The expression that a man feels fiat, hits tho case of James Gordon, of New- burg, N. Y. He waited fifteen years to lick John Shook, and when he finally pitched in he got snob, a pounding that he had to be carried oil in an ambulance. AUNTIE PKRPLEXBD. inc at the lif eles3 bodv on the sidewalk "That man betrayed me and I have shot him. A He ruined me and my family." Thfi.woman was' -taken to the police station arid looked np. She remained calm and dignified, and gave the name of HannahSduthworth. but refused to give her residence. All five balls took ef fect in the body of the victim. The same woman attacked Fettus in public a j'ear ago. OOVEBNTnTENX DBEA7EB THAX EXPSESB LEJES. " " WAsnujaioy, Nov. J2. In tho matter of the refusal of the United Slates ex press company to carry money to na tional banks from their deposits in treas ury and subtreaBuries at government rates, secretary Windom has decided that all moneys shipped by the treasury departments are government moneys, and consequently the express companies must carry the moneys in dispute at gov ernment rates. The express company has aocepted, which will be well received by all bankers. HENBY OEOEGE GETS HIS MONEY. New Yoke, Nov. 22. The court of er rors and appeals has rendered a decision by which Henry George obtains posses sion of $10,000 which was be queathed to him two years ago by George Hutchinson, a farmer of New Jersey, for the dissemination of the doctrine in his books. SPABBINO FOB POINTS. Helena. Nov. 22. The legislature meets at noon to-morrow. There are probably two-thirds of the members al ready here accompanied by a largo sprinkling of state politicians. Both sides are holding caucuses to decido upon the course of action. It is believed that neither party will have a quorum in the Senate. It is thought that the Bo publican members will meet separately and should the representatives of Silver Bow county certified by the state can vassing board be denied admittance, the politicians on both sides talk of fighting to the end. Yet a small number favor a compromise on the basis of one senator from eaoh party and a division of the legislative offices". PBOOBESS OF THE CBOKIK TBIAL. Chicago, Nov. 22. In the Cronin trial to-day witnesses were introduced to im peach the credibility of the testimony of Mrs. Heertel given in behalf of the prosecution to the effect that she saw a man resembling Dr. Cronin, enter Carl son cottage on the night of the murder. Dr. Edmund Andrews was asked a hypo thetical question by the defense, if he could form an opinion as to the cause of the death of Dr. Cronin by a given de scription of the wounds and abrasions found on the body of the man taken from tho catch basin. Ho said "no." Jocob Jjowenstein, a partner of Cough lin on the police force testified of the ex istence of an enmity between Garrity, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, and Conghlin. PABNELL AND HIS MOTHEB. Chicago, Nov. 22. Tho Tribune's New York special says when Augustus Fiton visited Mrs. Farnell she told him that a long letter which bore upon her case was one from her son Charles written about seven months ago and the last letter she received from him. It was written in answer to an inquiry from her as to the possibility of affording her financial assistance. Ho begs her to try and get along without "his help as" his obligations and expenses are already greater than he can provide for. A ZEALOUS OFFICIAL. Fobtland, Nov. 22. A inquest was held on the body of Bobt. Fofsythe yes terday afternoon which resulted in a ver dict being Tendered to the effect that de ceased is dead and came to his death through the accidental discharge of a pistol. Bv a verdict ofc coroner's iurv Frank Lester, who bo 'carelessly allowed tnerevovler to bo discharged thereby causing-Forsythe's death; is exonerated from all blame, but district attorney McGinn asserts that he will find a jury in another court which will hardly be so lenient. He will prosecute Lester for manslaughter in the police court. Les ter was new in, $X) bonus. AND NOW POBTUQAIi IS ALARMED. Lisbon, Nov. 22.

"We desire to say to bur -citizens', that we nave been selling ur. Jiing's jev '3 ve There has been a sale of three hundred aores of land adjoining Hoquiam, for the sum of $80,000. G. W. Hubbard purchased 0,500 pounds of hops at Junction last week, paying six cents per pound. Farties who have recently crossed tho mountains by the McEenzie route report a foot of snow on the summit. The estimated wheat crop of Oregon this year is 11,000,000 bushels, worth 8, 500,000. The total acreage of tljo state is estimated at 1,500,000. There i3 a small boom in mines at Aylesburg, Curry county. Jim McGlenn sold his claim recently for 10. It changed hands for 25 and a half inter est went for a second-hand pistol, a knife and a plug of tobacco. The Nelson placer mine, seven miles west of Baker City, is one of the richest placers on the Facific coast and was sold fdr about 300,000 about a year ago. The final clean-up this Bummer was the finest ever made. It was worked by hydraulic-ing. The upper Willamette has risen about two feet under the influence of tho recent extensive rains, says tho Orcgonian, and steamboat men greatly appreciate the added facility to navigation. Large quantities of hops are beinc; brought down from the valley towns. It is estimated that the cut of tho Te coma mills for this season will amount to 225,000,000 feet, of which the To com a mill will have an output of 05,000,000, the Pacific mill 30,000,000, the Gig Har bor mill 15,000,000, the St. Paul and Ta comamill 25,000,000, and smaller mills 90,000,000. The body of Louis Mar, an old man who has lived alone on his claim four miles below the Cascades, on the Wash ington Bide of tho Columbia, for many years, was found in a field back of his house a few days since. There was a rifle bullet hole through the body and a gunshot wound in the same placo, and his .shotgun, Avith one barrel discharged, was- found across his breast, evidently E laced there to convey tho idea that he ad shot himself. The Tacoma Globe irreverently says: "His Worship." the Mavor of Victoria and the "honorable City Counoil" there of invite "his Worship" the Mayor of Ta coma and the "honorable City Coancil hereof " to go to Victoria on tho 31st inst. to help receive "his Excellency Lord Stanley, Governor-General of tho Do minion of Canada," who will visit her Majesty's city of Victoria on tho day mentioned and take a snack and some other things with the boys.
