tible. II Is a melancholy fact that the be.
longings Of Grantism-the Robesons, Gar.
fields, Belknaps, Coliaxes and their ilk and
kind-have shed upon hepersonality Of
the Radical party 3 generic tntamy to
which honest men like Foster form excep.
tons almost rare enough for phenomena.
But Foster never was, in the strict sense Of
the term, one Of the belongings Of Grant.
ism. ! can remember q time, and good
deal Of time 1t was, too, when there
wasn't Democrat in either House OF Con.
gress whose presence at the White House
was not preferred to that Of Foster, and
whose influence there was not greater
This was the fact, not because he was not
faithful exponent Of theprinciples OF his
party, but simply because he had habit
OF making himself inConvenlent to the
thieves and uncomfortable to the corrup.
tionists who dominated the Grant Admin.
istration. His nomination for Governor
in pivotal State like Ohio, and at such
crisis OF parties rs the present, must be
viewed as an almost stunning exposition
Of the actual hollowness and practical
weakness Of the so.called "Grant Doom;"
an absurd initiation OF political wind in a
bubble so thin and diaphanous that It
hardly was worth the pricking. But the
affair means a good deal moro than
mere slap In the face to Grantism. III
means that the Radical party In Ohio
has passed under tho control OF men
who know how to put respectable extG.
rior upon Il very questionable household,
who have the tact 10 mask the worst pur.
poses that ever animated an organization
behind the decent front OF one OF the best
men and noblest fellows that ever lived.
And yet this apparent demonstration Of
strength Is sapped as to It's core with weak
ness; weakness which in all human
probability will be fataI to Foster. That
is to say, Foster il not strong candidate
Tor the Republican party Of Ohio, simply
because he is too honest and too honora-
ble a man to meet It's average Of views or
to evoke its average Of sympathy. l am
writing with no desire 10 do Foster a ser.
vice. II 1t were my design to recommend
him 10 the rank and file OF his party-or
at least that faction OF his party in whose
hands his fate lies-l would advertise him
in quite other terms. But il l can con.
vince the thieves who exercise 10 impor-
tant IN influence on the destinies Of Rad
icalism that Foster is an incorruptible
man, l shall have encOmpassCd his defeat
rs surely us II / were a Returning
Board, and had the counting of the votes
The Republicans OF Ohio are not all
vicious, or corrupt, or bigoted, or base, or
brutal. But enough Of them are so to
make any honest man a weak candidate
with the partyas whole, and this is Eos
ter2s weakness. When election day comes,
many an Ohio Radical will heave dor
nick at Charley Foster for no better reason
than the Athenian gave for, his hatred
ot Aristides-the monotony OF hearing
him called "I,he Just"

The assessed value OF the real estate and
PERSONAL property Of the county last year,
a. returned by the assessors, was about
;liG33,2OO. An assessment on this
.mornt OF 10 cents on the 500 will yield
Nv $3.50 70.
The levy for last year included an esti-
late of $1,000 for house of correction.
This item was dead letter. While it
sweIled the nominal levy to sS7, ,lS5 it did
not become M expenditure. 1t will not OF
course appear in the levy Of this year, and
We may therefore expect to see the levy
hl to $4,000 at least. Allowing that it
will be about this amount, it will take 45
rats on the estimated value OF the taxable
property OF the county to produce it.

Gated by Mr.. Eastwick, half dozen
years ago. The heaviest grade on the
route is So feet to the mile and tn for
few miles only. The deep canon at
Hangman' S Greek will be crossed by
bridge 1900 feet loog and li5 feet 10
height. This crossing is the most diff
cult piece of work in the 40 miles.
Springs were found at many places
along the line of the road. aud wells
we're dug at other points. so that water
is abundant the whole distance except
on the first twenty FIVE miles from
Snake river. On that part Of the road
he proposes to set a party at work at
once, to dig two or more wells. The
country along the line is generally pref
ty good, and though not as en,icing as
the Palouse country it offers many in
ducements to settlers. A party will be
started to locate the road FROM Spokane
Falls to Lake Pen d'Oreille as soon it
can be organized. In the meantime
the notes Of the engineers on the located
route will be examined, maps, profilcs
and estimates made aud everything got
