THE letter, elsewhere published, from a
prominent Republican of the fifth district, on
the senatorial question, will be read with i'll
terest, and is a fair sample of the expressions
of sentiment which come from all quarters
of the state. More and more the conviction
is being forced home, that we are a. crisis
in the history Of the Republican party and
that we must choose whether to permit the
plans of the spoilsmen TO be carried to frui-
tion at the expense of the continued ascen-
dency of the party, or to make the general
and vigorous exertion required 10 save it.
There are indications in all directions of an
awakening of the people to the Importance
of wise action at this critical juncture, and
the gentry who assume that they have "got"
majority of the legislature are likely to be
astonished by finding members exercising an
Independent and unfettered judgment respect
ing their action on this important question.

PRUSSIA is preparing for another meal off
one of the German states. This time the
Duchy of Brunswick furnishes the dish.
The present Duke is the last of his line, and
with his death the ducal house of Brunswick
becomes extinct. He is bachelor and is
now in his sixty-ninth year. By treaty it is
provided that the German Emperor shall
nominate the regent upon the death Of the
Duke. 1t will then be found very easy for
Prussia to absorb the little country, regent
and all. The people are getting alarmed at
the prospect and are endeavo.ing to persuade
the Duke to marry. A daughter of the ex-
King of Hanover is the unfortunate woman
named in connection with the match.

THAT the opening of the new route to
New York by the way of Worcester is mat
ter OF great commercial interest appears to
be taken for granted by the New York dailies,
each of which devotes column or more to
description of its facilities and advantages.
The Times contains very full, graphic and
entertaining account of the new road and its
connections, from the facile pen of Mr.. II.
M. Jordan, formerly editor of the Star of this
city, but now on the staff of the Times. The
account will be Of interest to all Portland
people, on account Of its descriptive power

PIrTsBURG, Dec. 1.-The argume emit on the
injunction to restrain the Conduit Pipe Line
Company from running pipes under the West
Pennsylvania Railroad track at Powers Run
comes up to-day. 1t is believed that if the in
junction is refused the railroad company will
take it upon themselves to remove the pipes in
which case collision is likely to occur between
the forces of the railroad and the pipe line
companies. The railroad company for some
laid under or over their tracks, but early Sat-
urday morning large force of men were
gathered and pipes were laid in the bed of
Powers River under the tracks The conduit
company are enlistng men, some 300 being
already enlisted to send to Powers Run to pro-
tect the pipes by force in case of an effort to re-
move them.

are not furnished by evil deeds, and who
have sound judgment and are actuated
By 10 selfish motives, will step to the
front in the advocacy of the movement.
Then the people may be inclined to turn
an attentive ear to what is said, for they
will have confidence in such advocates
and give them the credit, at least, that
they speak from conviction and that
their motives are honest. People will
