The Portland "Standard,"

The Portland "Standard," in
speaking Of the Maine troubles, says;
"Ths is the first time since the Re,
bellion that any considerable body OF
Democrats have manifested the sort
Of grit and shack. bone" demanded
of them by the bullying airs and
braggart threats Of their Republican
sdverseriss." This needs not the
slightest comment to illustrate clear,
ly the course of our leading Demo
cratic journals.

AT the recent municipal election
in Victoria Mayor Turner was re.
elected. Among the Councilmen
elected we notice the name of our
friend, Mr.. Noah Shakespeare. Mr..
S. has served in that capacity before,
and, being chosen second time is
undoubtedly favorable comment
on his abilities and services in the
position.

IHE ROUTE TO SKAGIT RIVER.

Whether the new gold diggings
in the mountainous region near the
source of the Skagit river prove to
be as big as their reputation or not,
we may count upon a rush to them
from all parts of the Pacific coast.
A gentleman just from San Francis
co says that people down there have
very high estimation 'f these
mines, and that most Of them think
the scene Of operations is just back
of Seattle.
Assuming that no one town has a
right to misead the public to its own
pecuniary gain and the detriment
of other localities, let US give this
subject careful attention. With the
great advantage of noarness and
cheap travel for the miner, shall Port
Townsend allow Seattle, with her
cat trail over precipices, or Victoria,
with her long steam boat and mule
routes, to successfully compete for
the trade and travel that the Skagit
mines will produce? With a fair
look at the facts regarding the differ
snt proposed routes, It must be ap-
parent that the Whatcom road is by
far the most desirable. The miner
gets his outfit here, and, the same
day, can be landed at Whatcom
where good trail will lead him to
Ruby creek, as shown by the corrss-
pondence of those who certainly
know. By this way he escapes the
Skagit with its dangerous naviga-
ton, its sand bars and rifles, sugges-
tive of vexatious delays.
The road from Whatcom follows
the old supply trail made by the
boundary commission years ago. 1t
requires no grading and but little
"swamping out" to make it an ex.
cellent route. The road, however,
must be trimmed out, and, to make
Port Townsend the popular starting
point, it should be done well. This
accomplished, our town wosld most
assuredly derive great benefit from
any trade or travel in that quarter.
As there are numerous tracts OF
fine farming land along this route,
doubtless many who travel over it
will settle on them in the course of
time, and permanet trade tributary
to our town will be the result. To
open the road to the mines is there
fore work of enterprise that ought
to enlist cur heartiest efforts.

The Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania has decided that Allegheny
county must pay all damages done
to railroad property during the riot
at Pittsburg in July, 1877. Inas-
much as large majority of the peo.
pie of Pittsburg and of the county
we're in sympathy with tho mob, the
decision is just one. Seven mill
ions of dollars is the burden which
the citizens of Allegheny county
have hsaped vpon themselves.

An interesting comparison OF the paved streets
OF Paris and those OF Washington, made I'D
from official data, will be found In another col
umn OF 10 days paper. It will be seen that the
experience of the Partisan authorities In this
matter fully Justifies the view expressed by
TIE STAR some time ago In commenting on
Gen. Sherman's extraordinary letter to a friend
In Chicago in regard to street pavements, viz:
that the Macadam style OF pavement is only
suitable for suburban roads and park dives
and cannot be used to advantage In the much
Travelled streets OF cities on account of the great
expense OF repair and the mud aud dust they
create. Another gratifying feature OF this ex-
hibit Is the fact that I'm the matter of economy
the advantage is altogether with WASHINGTON.
TINS Is contrary TO the general impression. IL
mas been almost uniformly supposed that pave
nents OF the same kind cost much more here
than In Paris, while In fact they cost more than
Twice as much there as they do in Washington.
