Dartmouth ani Princeton have re-
turned to the barbaIous practice Of haz-
ing. Itwas generally believed that pub
lie sentiment had done what lack OF
sense failed in-forced a dlscontinuance
Of this childish and cruel custom. A
Da-tmotth sophomore lost his hat in a
scuife with a freshman. This trivial
matter provided apretext fra class fight
which resulted almost fatally in one OF
two cases. Some of the students are I'M

Senator Rankin, chairman of the demo
cratic central committee, in an address
to the electors of Wisconsin, relative to
the nomination of the additional justices.
after reviewing the circumstances which
made it impracticable and impolitic to
make the nominations in the usual way
concludes as follows:
The republican caucus was held on
the evening of the 10Th of February.
and the democratic caucus on the Goth
Of February, and resulted in the nomina-
tion of the Hon. David Taylor. of Fond
du Lac as the republican candidate, and
of the Hon. Harlow 5. Orion, Of Madi-
son as the democratic candidate for as
sociate justices of the supreme court, the
first tor the short term and the latter for
the long term. These nominations were
fairly made and unanimously declared BY
the res ectiye eaucuses and appear to be
unobjectionable and in the spirit of this
friendly and non-partisan arrangement
they will be both placed upon the same
ticket. In this matter the committee has
not designed to arrogate to itself any
extraordinary or unusual powers, but has
sought to adopt the best method under
tie circumstances in making nomination
of a candidate for this high judicial of
fee and trus, that it may meet with gen.
eral approval. The law requires that the
two candidates should be placed upon one
ticket for the two terms of office, and
that the ballots should be deposited in
separate box to be furnished for that pur-
pose. Care should be taken that the
names and terms Of office Of the two /
candidates be distinctly written or
printed upon each ticket which should |
he as follows:
For associate justice Of the supreme
court for the term ending on the first
Monday of January 1888,

For associate justice of the supreme
court for the term ending on the first
Monday of January 1886,

THE LUMBER OUTLOOK.

An editorial note in the OregOHian
says:
There are $500 vacant dwellings in
San Francisco. This is . good sign.
It indicates that the great super
abundant population which has been
crowding into the city for two or three
years past without hope Of employment,
IL thinning out somewhat. The city
contains one third of the population Of
Cslifcrnis, which is too large q proper
ton.
Only few days ago q telegraphic
dispatch stated that the Sierra Flume
and Lumber Company operating in t.
hama and Shasta counties, California,
with headquarters at Red Buff,
has broken up leaving vast
amount of debts over and above
resources undischarged, and sending
gloom and suffering over the hearths of
host Of luckless laborers and traders
whose demands could not be paid.
All these dark facts point unmis-
taksably to the conclusion that the
lumber trade of San Francisco has been
ovsrstocked. Instead of rsviving after
the rains. the demand has not i'm
proved A new outlet must be found
TO relieve the pressure upon the glutted
San Francisco market An unanswer-
able argument is herein furnished for
the prosecution of the railroad from
the Sound, across the Cascade Noun
tains. to ct once tap the great timber
less valleys and fertile plains Of the
