It in quite probable that ono of President HnrriBon's Cabinet ofil cors will be selected from the Pacific states quite likely Oregon. Ore gon is the only state on the Pacific slope ever so represented. In De cember 1871 Attorney General Ack crinan surrendered his position in President Grant's Cabinet and ex U. S. Senator Hon G. II. Williams was chosen to the place. A largo number of Mr. Williams' friends in Washington called upon him with their congratulations and demanded a speech. Among other things in that reply tho General said: "I promise ail whom it may concern that when I am placed at tho head of tho Department of Jus tico In this Government, so far as tlio jurisdiction of that department may go, its mandates will bo (lis penned without fear or favor, with equal vigor and respect for all classes mid conditions of men. I know not what there may be in tho clam or now made aoout official delin quencies in tho Federal office, but so far as exposure and prosecution of such dclinmicncics devolves upon tho Department of justice, no parti san considerations will have weight, and no pains will be spared to bring the guilty to speedy, condign pun ishment. I deeply regret that in some poitions of tho country a spirit of lawlessness seems to prevail. I will favor overy consideration of kinduvss (o induce obedience to the law; but if no other means will answer, then I am for using the whole power of tho country in tho most vigorous and oflcctlvo manner to crush out conspiracy against the peace of society nud tho safety of unollbnding citizens. Governments were piimaiily established to pro tect tho weak against tho strong, and, if this Government falls to perform its function" In that respect it has a po.ir claim upon the support and loyalty of its elti.ons. No ono in sight of recent ovents in Now York or olsewhoro can take office now anil escapo tho vlgllcnt oyo of tho people, and nothing but a com plete and uptight devotion to duty will give general satisfaction. 1 shall struggle to moot the popular demands as well as to meet tho ex pectations of my friends, with how much success time and events will determine. I have tho honor to bo tho first Cabinet ollleer taken from tho Pacific coast California, Ne vada, Oregon and Tonltories of tho far West may consider themselves recognised and represented In orery branch of the Government. I do not. oH'oet Indifference to party matters, because I have been elec ted to ofilee. I belong to tho re publican party. I believe in its principle's and politics, and I have a profound conviction that Its ascend ency for borne time to come is nec essary to tho preservation of peace and enforcement of law. Subordi nate to my otllulal obligations, tivorythlng Mint I uuu reasonably and honorably, I shall earmwtly tlo to secure Its triumph In the next Presidential election." Gouuml Williams' record as a Cahl nut officer will eounmro with tho most favored and although four oouipWto presidential terms have lul (dm lie retired from public lift he would be a good selection and mwkw a mot excellent Cabinet ofthwr. Tiik South Citrollim Legislature re-clivtcl M. C.Ur Meruit United tutc K iiatur ; TO LONDON MY MAIL. In tho Infancy ofj railroad history a proposition to construct a railroad lino from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean would have been laughed to scorn. Even after the Union Pacific was completed a plan for building a bridge twenty two miles across a lake, such as the one on which the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific now crosses Lake Pontchurtrain, would havo been looked upon as altogether chimerical. Tho proposition for an all-rail route to Great Britain and tho continent now being urged by engineers, finds no more favor with an incredulous public than did those propositions which have just been mentioned, and which years ago became accomplished facts. The plan to reach Great Dritain by rail docs not embrace a tunnel under the Atlantic, it in fact provides for going west rather than cast. It provides for a railroad to those west ern limits of Alaska which border on Dehring Strait, for crossing this strait, thirty or forty railca, on a bridge and then connecting with tho proposed railroad by which Ilussia is to reach her easternmost possessions. The rest of the way to Calais is easy. From Calais to tho British Isles a tunnel under tho English channel, long contemplated must be built. Of this plan tho Hallway Ago says: The chief valuo of our great rail way, however, would be as a means of reaching not London, or even Europe, but Ilussia, China and India. Pekiu which is nearly on tho latltudo of Philadelphia, is something like 3,500 miles south west of the Behring strait, making tho journey from New York to Pekin, say 0,000 miles. Calcutta, on tho Indian ocean, is a matter of 2,000 miles further on and that will eventually be linked to our new hemisphere by steel rails. What a tremendous impetus this enterprise, ouco completed, would givo tho missionary cause. Tho peoplo of tho world may ere long be circumnavigating it by rail rather than by water. Tho little 3,000 mile ditch between New York and Liverpool would bo a slight inter ruption, to bo sure, but it would necessarily bo a pleasant ono to tho tedium of the locomotive's whistle and the train's rattle. rur.vimizi: Tin: ikaui. The Albany democrat has a writer which it dubs "Tho Man About Town" who in a recent issue strikes tho keynote to a lightcous melody In the following brief paragraph: "Tho Man About Town would like to seo every last newspaper in Oregon dip its pen in gall, or some thing else that's bitter, and attack tho present assessment system in Oregon. Things would havo to move then, and our legislature might possibly think it had a task before It."

U; COLUMN. Scientific Temperance In Other Lniuln. During the past live years tho National Department of Scientific Temperance instruction has been in co-operation with temperance work ers in many lands besides our own in efforts to secure the education, through tho schools, of all childhood in the scientific reasons for total abstinence. Many good results have followed this extension of this work. Among them we mention thes-e: Our indorsed temperance text books, translated into the languages of Japan and of the Sandwich Islands, are in use in those- countries. This foreign skirmish work has had no organized relation, beyond the Divine command, "Go ye into all the world," until last March, when the department of scientific; temper ance instruction was created in the World's Woman's Christian Tem perance Union, and the writer was made its superintendent. In a circular letter sent to all for eign auxiliaries, and now through these columns of the official organ of the World's W. C. T. U., I ac knowledge my acceptance of this position, looking to Him whose blessing alone can make human ef forts efiectual, forguidance and help in the discharge of its duties. . The great work of tho revision of the imperfect temperance text-books in our own country, making an al most exclusive demand upon my personal attention, camo to me at the same time. Amidst these labors and cares I have sent to all foreign ad dresses on the roster of the World's W. C. T. U., an invitation to create a scientific temperance instruction department in their organization, witli a superintendent auxiliary to the international department; and with this invitation have sent also our department "Plan of Work," a pamphlet of sixty-four pages with its minute directions for every detail, based upon our eight years' experi ence ; a set of our "School Leaflets;" tho annual department report of 1887, and shall soon follow these with tho report of 1888 now in press. Corresponence with any persons, in or out of the W. C. T. U., in any land, who are ablo to co-operate with us for tho furtherance of their work in their localities, is earnestly invit ed. "Tho field is the world." Mahy H. Hunt. Wo clip from the Seattte Post In telligencer of Dec. 18th, the follow ing commendatory remarks concern ing Major Hilton as an orator and Christian temperance worker. Tho result of his first lecture Sunday night was the addition of 240 new members to the W C. T. U : "A week's course of temperance or, rather, prohibition lectures has been commenced by Major George A. Hilton of Washington, D. C, in Fryo's opera house, the first being given Sunday evening. Thcso lectures are under the auspices of tho W. C. T. U. and credit is due tho ladles for their great activity. Major Hilton is an eloquent man, eloquent in his cimaxes, eloquent in ids gestures, eloquent in keen, bit ing satire, merciless sarcasm, quick logic, numerous anecdotes, and start ling comparisons. Ho makes a flno appearance on the platform, looking young, clean-cut and vigorous. Sometimes his ricli tenor voice gets slightly husky, but his enunciation is of tho clearest, and his light bluo oyes penetrate tho audience. He is of tho blonde type, his thoughtful face bolng sot oil" well by a heavy sandy mustache, Major Hilton's ten years' experience at tho internal revenue books of the United States treasury department has given him a fund of knowledge, which he can uso to a great advantage as a tem perance agitator.
