THE GOliOO.'i GLOBE. FRIDAY, FFBRUARY 24. 1893. Rev. W. C. Wl will preach at Fowllon thelst WcffiWLrta THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY, OREGON. CLE VELAND'S CABINET. So far, the following persons have been offered and accepted cabinet positions: Walter Q. Gresham of Illinois, secretary of state; John G Carlisle of Kentucky, secretary of the treasury; Daniel S. Lamont of New York, secretary of war; Wil son S. Bissell of Buffalo, portmas-ter-general; Sterling Morton of Ne braska, secretary of agriculture; Geo. A. Jenks of Pennsylvania, attorney-general. J udge Gresham, who has the highest and most important posi tion in the cabinet, was, until just recently, among the most promi nent leaders of the republican par ty, and nearly received the repub lican nomination for president four years ago against Harrison. Since that time he leaned gradually tow ard democracy, and at the last elec tion he "flopped" completely and came out flat-footed with the dem '.. ocrats. "':V:. ' ' Mr. Cleveland's position from the first has been that in the selection of a secretary of state he did not propose to stand strictly by party limits. He has all along said that he wanted the best man that could be found in the country. He wanted a man strong and learned, of per feet personal and public integrity, and one who held to an unusual de gree tho confidence of the people. This ideal was more closely filled by Judge Gresham than any other man Mr. Cleveland could think of. Of J udge Gresham'e great ability and high character there can be no question. He is thoroughly Ameri can in all his instincts and training, He is devoted to the principle upon wmcn tne jjemocratic party won its latest triumph, and totheestab lishment of which it is pledged. On the tariff, the finances and the currency, on civil service reform, on force bills, and on pension re form he is in strict accord with the declared doctrines formulated at Chicago. He is known throughout the land a6 a stern foe of the selfish spirit of plutocracy. Apart from the fact that Judge Gresham is a man of the highest character and of decided ability, his selection is a new guarantee of the disregard of narrow political consideration on the part of Mr. Cleveland. The appointment is regarded with en thusiasm in the West. oenator tuacKnian s insurance bill, which is now a law, providing that any company which writes a policy hereafter in Oregon 6hali be compelled to pay the full amount of the policy where the loss equals the same is a highly meritorious measure, and will do much to make insurance men come to time with the full amount of their risks, with out deducting the cost of adjust ment, scaling down because of age of policy, etc., a petty form of thiev ery which they have been uniform ly practicing on policy holders for years past, in Oregon almost more than in any other state. Anything that will insure the public fair treatment in such matters is de serving of support and commenda tion. If we take Hawaii we shall own a volcano, that is something. It is said to have the largest continu- ously active crater in the world. We! should also come into possession of j some 40,000 active craters in the I persons of Chinese to whom we I coiudn t well deny an elective, and that is something also. This legislature is a record break er and a record maker. It will do more to reconstruct Oregon politic ally than any session that ever met. There was a remarkable abscence of politics but a continuous presence of boodle, extravagance and vicious legislation. -Salem Journal. Iowa has eight living , exgov ernors. With Gov.

Such meth- -'" 11 llul luipohsioie on uraniniw J ..i i . ?v l the physical difficulties, could be made to give only approximate re sults. The method used is to com pare a line measured on the earth's surface with a corresponding arc of the heavens. The measurements have been made in many parts of the earth's surface. For example, of the methods used we may describe that of Richard Norwood. On the 11th of June, 1633, he measured the sun's meridian altitude in London as 62 degrees 1 minute, and on June 6, 1635, the Bun's altitude at York as 59 degrees 33 minutes. He measured the distance between the two. places partly by chain and partly by pacing, and determined the degree as 367,176 feet. More i accurate methods of measurement are now used, but the general prin ciple may be seen. Lines have been measured at the equator and also in the polar regions. In 1735 a French expedition under Godin, Bouguer and De la Condamine measured an arc of 3 degrees 7 minutes in Peru, theafc intersecting the equa tor.. On account of the great phys ical difficulties the work took them ten years. In 1736 a similar expedi tion under Maupertius measured an arc in Lapland near the polar circle. It is from such work con tinued in various parts of the earth that the shape of the planet and the distance around it have been ascertained. THINKS IT AN OUTRAGE ON THE TAXPAYERS. General Compson is accredited with securing two appropriations for the Oregon National Guard at the hands of this legislature. The Gullixson bill, giving them $40,000, has passed both houses over the governor's veto. The Ford bill, to give the National Guard $60,000, in lieu of the mill tax, also passed both houses. That gives the state militia a cool hundred thousand dollars to operate with the comiDg two years. The governor cannot well veto the Ford bill without re storing the mill tax of both the militia and state university, and adding considerably to what they will now receive. Ford claims there was an understanding that if he would increase the sum carried in his bill from $15,000 to $30,000 a year, the governors veto of the Gul lixon bill should be sustained. But Gullixon and his friends wenl back on that and the result is a double appropriation through combina tions. When the matter came be fore the House, of passing the Gul lixon bill over the veto Ford de nounce it as being in bad faith and an outrage on the taxpayers of this state. Dalles Chronicle. Referring to the threatened war over the Kansas legislature between the republicans and populists, the Portland Evening Telegram says: The Kansas militia are a muti nous set. They refused to obey the governor because his politics didn't suit them. Military organization doesn't amount to a row of pins when a soldier's political opinions destroys his sense of discipline. Perhaps, after all, Governor Pen- noyer was not far wrong in sizing up the National Guard. If the Kan sas militia . is a fair sample of National Guard organization, the less we have of it the better." 'In a suit against the Northern Pacific, a verdict was rendered the other day for if 14,000 damages for injuries received. As a railway can be made to pay for killing a person outright only $5,000, it would have been nearly three times as cheap for the N. P. to have killed the plaintiff. If this discrimination is kept up and it continues to be cheaper to kill than to maim, it may be expected that the com panies will instruct their employes to avoid accidents, if posfible, but if one occurs to take good care that more are killed than injured.
