MEN OF THE PERIOD. An epidemic OF
rascahty seems to have swept over the conn.
try. New York has discovered that one of
her most honored citizens has committed a
number OF forgeries and disappeared with
the sPoils. OF five or SIX conspicuous raseals
who have recently been exposed he is per
maps the most conspicuous. W. {. Gilman
was an upright man. sn far as appearance
went. He w.s an active church member
and Sunsly school TEACHER. He has been
iorty years IN the business but. so far As is
Known, 1t is only recently that he has made
forgery part of his business. The excellent
reputation which he sustained assited mater.
laiiy to pass of his raised certificates. Bu.
Gllman Is only one Of number of rascaJs
whose crimes are now attracting the nations 5
attention. Chicago has one savings hank
swInfiier IN prison, and one or two Others in
Parts unknown. Philadelphia mourns over
IN inc tall OF John S. Morton, President Of the
IhAaasipsia Passenger Railroad and also of
tae fermaneii' Exhibition Company. ]. s.

SENATOR GoSKLISG's detection is thu
one great trouble that darkens the radica
horizon. 1t is the great power which
Conkling exercises among his party breth
ern that his administration organs dread
The administration is in itself weak. The
heavy shadow of the colossal fraud
which overhangs and darkens the occu-
pant of the executive chair is not, nor can
it be, dispelled from the notice of the
people. Like the blood upon the hands
Of crime it will not disappear, and every
movement under it is as the shock an ap-
partition gives to the sense of the criminal
The house of representatives is democrat
ic, and if the radical supremacy in the
Senate shall be lost throug Oh the detection
of Conkling, the administration Will be
almost powerless- The contingency is by
no means a solacing contemplation for
Hayes and his cabinet, and it is what
burdens the radical organs with their
present commingled regret and anger
They are aware that it is vain to endeaYOr
to appease the indignant New York Sena-
tor, or to Try to persuade him from his
purpose. In his cool, meihodical manner
he fully considered the situation and re-
solved upon; his course, and he has the
nerve to sustain himself to the end He
will yet make the parties TO the great fraud
feel the potency of his determined antag-
onlsm.
, 1877-10-13

SENATOR CoNKLING's DETECTION
tone of the radical organs sufficiently in
dicates that the stand taken by Senator
Conklins in the New York state radical
convention has opened a breach which is
destined to divide and break down their
party in that state, and TO produce serious
dissension and diSatfcction in the organi-
Zation in other states. The senator Is the
ablest man the radicals have in Congress
He is not a tricky denagoguc, as Blaine
is: he has not the malice and demonism
of Morton. He is able, learned, digIn:
fled, austere, very proud and imperious,
and of stainless personal character As a
partisan his convictions are strong, and
his ideas Of parry discipline allow little
latitude outside Of the prescribed lines.
To lip it4Nt appear as an inexorable
duty when he finds himself constrained to
take issue with radical administration,
and to openly war npon the policy pro
mulgated by president who was placed in
candidacy by radical convention. He
rigidly preserves calla and cool demcan-
or; never allows hot passion to overcome
his high sense of proprlety, and he is de-
Lucrative, sagacious and resolute. We
may be sure, therefore, that he has taken
his present position of antagonism to
Hayes and his administration after matur-
ed thought, and that he Will neither waver
nor turn back III his course.

EASTERN WasH1NGroS-Gov Ferry

EASTERN WAsHINGTON.-Gov. Ferry in
his message to the Legislature, has the fol
lowing reference TO Eastern Washington:
''The character, quality and extent of the
agricultural lands East of the Cascade
Mountains must be seen and examined to
be fully appreciated. From careful esti-
mates, 1 am assured that the productive
capacity of that region is fifty millions of
bushels of wheat per annum, and it is not
impossible that the present generation
may witness this result. The production
of wheat in the eastern. portion Of the
territory, the past season, Is estimated to
Be fifty thousand tons of which forty thou
sand tons will be exported When We
take into consideration the extent of agri-
cultural land, the immense yield per acre
forty to sixty bushels os wheat and 9TH
er cereals in like proportion-that seri-
Gus drought is unknown, that failure of
crops never occurs, We may safely con-
clude that eastern Washington, for agri-
cultural advantages is unsurpassed by any
portion OF the world"

ADULTERATIoN OF MILK-The Chicago
papers, after exhausting the subject of the
impurities of the Lake water, have gone into
the diagram business on swill milk. \ whole
page of tie Ifer-Ocean is illuminated with
cuts of magnitied impurities contained in the
lacteal fluid peddled by the dairylnen in that
city, and the images are fearful to conten-
plate IN their magnifed form. One of the
prolific causes Of disease in children is at
trlhuted to the poisons used in milk adul.era-
ton: and the efforts being made in Chicago
and New York to punish the venders of the
obnoxious article are to be commended if
they will put stop othe evil nthose cities.
and serve to deter milk dealers from indulg-
ing in similar practices

THE PATENT OEFICE. Inventors viii
he glad to know that the Patent Office at
Washington is again in running order
The commissioners have not attempted to
maintain that the government can avoid
iss responsibility to male good the losses
of the patentees, but they ask that these
patentees shall restore, at their own ex-
pense, such models as We're destroyed, be-
lieving that it is to the advantage of the
patentees to take upon themselves the
restoration of the models, especially as
they will thereby have the privilege of
remedying defects ard illustrating i'm
provements discovered since the originals
were constructed.

THE ENGLISH Policy CRITICISED 1t is
said that Mr.. Catacazy, former Russian
Minister at Washington, has published a
pamphlet in Paris. entitled THE Eastern
Policy of Great Britain, in which he holds
that the present attitude of England is in
consistent with her fundamental principle of
recognizing and making the most of every
social or political fact. The decay of Moslem
influence in Europe is, he says, fact Eng
lands refusal to admit it is departure from
her traditional policy. due to her antiquated
notions about Russian power on the Bos-
ph"rus endangenng the English commercial
road to India and the Persian Gulf a re-
ally great commercial nation, Mr.. Catacazy
adds ought to despisc policy based on ex-
Ploitation and monopoly"

The COUNTRY TO THE President.
is All old story of 4 traveller sitting at :
Western hotel table. He ordered beef steak
for his breakfast, and the waiter presently
brought a small piece on large plate. The
traveller turned 1t over, inspected it care
fully, then said to the waiter, ''Yes. that's
the kind now go and get me some rs soon
as YOU can" That is what the country is
saying to the President 1t has been look
ing at the little dish of civil service reform
he has brought, and it likes it. Now it
wants enough for a square meal, and it would
ike the President to know that 1t has wait
ed good while and Is hungry.

WADE HaaPToa viii make no enemies
in the North by permitting the Courts to
deal fearlessly with the rascals who have
robbed the State Of South Carolina, and
President Hayes will lose no friends be-
cause the indicted men say these things
would not have come to light if he had
stood by the republican party in their
state 1t is an unfortunate fact that they
constituted the leaders of the party there,
and party with such leadership is better
dead than alive.

HAYES is modest, far more modest than
the common run of party -maehine-made
office holders. To the people of Cincin-
nati the other day he said: "We do not
claim for the administration the adyant-
ages that come to the country from good
crops, If Mr.. Hayes goes on that way
he will destroy whatever capital "the
party may hope to build upon The
man who will not claim that "republi-
can administration" is the producing cause
OF good crops is plainly not the man the
party machine requires at the head of the
Government.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

ANIMAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND
ELECTION CT pIEEToRS AND OFFICERS.
The annual meeting of stockholders OF the
n. P. r. r. Co, was held September 26th,
in the company's main office, corner OF flfth
avenue and Ninth street. The meeting lasted
upward of three hours and was perfectly
harmonious. The following board of dlrec-
tors was reelected for the ensuing year =
Charles r. Wright. OF Pennsylvania Fred
erick Billings, oi Vermont; George w. Cass,
Of New York; Benjamin 7. Cheney, OF
Massachusetts,; Charlemagne Tower, of Penn
sylyania; Johnston Livingston, Of New
York; Joseph Dilworth, of Pennsylvania /;
]. Frailey Smith, of Pennsylvania; George
Stark, of New Hampshire; Alex Mitchell,
of Wisconsin; j. c. Ainsworth, Of Oregon;
John NJ. Deniscn, of Maryland Richard L.
Ashurst, of Pennsylvania.
Charles b. Wright Was reelected presi-
dent; George Stark, vice president Samuel
Wilkeson, secretary, and George E. Bebee,
treasurer.
Twenty million dollars worth of preferred
stock was represented at the meeting. The
whole number OF stockholders of the com-
pany is 10000 The first resolution adopted
was in relation to the extension and compile
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad:
Rcsoirod, That it is the Judgment of the
stockholders that the construction of the
company road westward from the Missouri
river should be commenced forthwith, and
eastward from the Columbia river on the
Lake Pend d'Oreille division, as soon as prac-
ticable, and the board of directors Is he.eby
urged to proceed with such construction as
rapidly as possible, consistently with econo-
my and the best interest of the company,
keeping steadilyin view the early completion
of the entire road to the Pacific
\ resolution was also adopted requiring
the bondholders' purchasing committee to
fix day within which all the bonds Of the
company now outstanding must be presented
for conversion into preferred stock in ac-
cordance with the plan of reorganization, or
be forever thereafter debarred of the privi-
lege. A resolution of thanks to the officers
of the company for fidelity and efficiency
during the past year was adopted. The all
nual report of the President and directors
show that the year has been successful one
and that the company has escaped the strikes
and labor troubles from which other roads
have suffered. The road now extends to
Bismarck, on the Missouri river The gross
earnings Of the year are 1865, S23 81, and
the expenses, S573, ia 90, leaving net bal
anee of S3922, 69S A., or an increase OF nearly
twenty-five per cent. over last year. The
Congress to meet IN extra session in October
next will be askel to extend the time for
the construction and completion of the road,
which, under the present law, now expires in
1879. A bill to have the time extended
passed the Senate last year, but failed to
meet the approval of the House before the
day of adjournment A vigorous effort will
be made to secure its passage this year.-N.

about as much affect as pronunciamien-

PREsIDNT GRANT was visited with re-
proach because he conferred official pre-
ierment upon his personal friends, but it
is difficult to see, in the light of the lavish
favors which the Ohio friends of the Pres
ldent have received at his hands, any visi-
BILE Improvement in this regard by the
present over the methods of the last ad-
ministration. Ohio has received such
abundant patronage that even Stanley
Matthews wakes facetious over it before

An ERROR CORRECTED There seems
to be general assumption that the cleo
ton in New York this fall will decide the
succession to Conkling in the Senate.
This Is only true to the extent that the
state senators elected this year will hold
over and participate in the senatorial elee
tion to take place in 1873 The act of
Congress requires the election of a senator
to take place at the session of the legisla.
ture next preceding the beginning of the
term for which he is elected. As the ses-
sions of the legislature in New York are
annual, this will occur in the session Open
ing january /, 1879, the members Of the
assembly and one half the senate being
elected in November, 1873 The state
senators are elected for two years, the
members of the assembly Cor one year.
