and In many a valley In our land,
Secretary Sherman, then at the helm Of
our ship OF finance, was reviled and
condemned in the strongest terms rs
being the author Of n monetary system
that was the cause Of all our trials; but
the great fnancier, firm and immovable
as the giant mountains Of our west,
swerved not, but pressed on to what he
insisted was the land Of promise, and

IT Is thought that the result of
the conference OF the superinten-
dents Of the railway mail service which
proposed a fast mail between New York
and Chicago and connections for San
Francisco will be the adoption OF the
suggestions OF the superintendents.
The proposition is TO have a special
train OF tho New York Central road
leave New York in the morning In
time TO catch the train at Toledo, which
now leaves two hours before its arrival,
the delay OF the first train being occa-
stoned hy stoppages which the fast mail
train would not make. At Toledo the
mails will be sent through to Chicago,
so that all mails leaving there after 0

ahead OF the present time.

THE late Empress Marie OF Russia
was a woman Of great culture, and is
said to have disliked the shallowness
and frivolity Of the grumbling boyards.
She admitted few Of them to her init
macy, but Germanized her court more
and more, and gave considerable Of
fence by constantly speaking her ma
tive tongue instead of French. by
and by, when she got TO know the
Cars subjects n little better, she was
more careful to humor their prejudices;
but her ~antipathy to things French
never relented at any time, and one OF
her frequent apostrophes to courtiers
who had been travelling was-"Talk to
me OF anything except Paris" She
was the hest Of mothers, and caused
her sons TO be educated in all the nc.
complishments Of gentlemen, instead OF
letting them be drilled into mere SOL
diers, as had been the fashion under
Nicholas reign. To all Of them she
impaired her own taste for music and
reading.

high and responsible duties OF the first
officer Of the republic. he called about
him as advisers q distinguished combi-
nation-with one exception, where he
was unfortunate In the commission OF
an error, which he should have long
since retrieved. No grander selection
could have been made for the great
Office OF secretary Of state than that Of

by no boundaries.

secured for the important position Of

Hon. John Sherman. whose success has

Position OF Men.

Tilden's friends say that his let
ter Is not an absolute declination, and
they would push his claims IL there was
any hope OF success. 1t is apparent,
however, that this is hopeless, because
the great body prefer accepting the let
ter rs putting Tilden out Of the race,
and thus relieving them OF the obliga-
ton 10 support him, 1Many OF whom
have done so reluctantly and against
their own judgment. Bayard looks up
rs the ablest and best among the other
candidates. His precedence Is con
cedede by the best elements In the
convention, but rs yet there is no strong
reason that anticipates his nomination.
Fields supporters are not numerous
apparently, but they make up in energy
and push what they lack in numbers.
II brass bands and strong assertions
could settle the nomination Field would
have the lead. AS the case stands lie
will likely fall behind the dark horses
before the race Is over. Hancock's
friends are very quiet, but watchful,
apparently disposed TO hold him back
until his opportunity shall have devel-
oped. Hendricks friends are desperate
by the event purposed by Tilden's
managers TO knife him; on the other
hand, many Tilden delegates decline
bsing delivered to Payne or Randall.
JEWELS friends are well organized and
active. Randall and Groesbeck have
each many earnest supporters. Their
plan seems to be TO hold their nags
for the home stretch when all the lead
ing starters shall have become ex-
hausted. The New York delegations
formal acceptance to-day OF Til
denis letter Of declination finally
settles all thought of pressing his
name. To emphasize their action an en-
crossed copy Of their resolutions was
handed to the Kentucky delegation to
release 1t from their pledge for Tilden.
The shrewdest politicians here dare
not venture an opinion as to the out

about the position that Garfield held at

GEN. GARFIELD AND THE SAL.
AIRY GRAB

From the New York Tribunc
The latest charge against General
Garfield Is that be favored the ''salary
grab" was indeed chiefly responsible
for 1t, and pocketed his share of it.
The facts are directly contradictory to
these statements, and are SO easily ac-
cessible to every man who cares to
know the truth that 1t is simple stupid
ity to try TO pervert it. The salary
grab was put on to the legislative APP
preparation bill rs IN amendment by
General Butler, seven days before the
adjournment Of congress in the spring
Of 1873. As chairman OF the commit
tee on appropriations, Garfield had
charge Of the bill. He opposed Buffers
amendment earnestly, and voted
against 1t ut every stage. There was a
bitter contest, which ended the day be-
fore adjournment in the reference Of
the bill to n conference committee, OF
which Garfield was a member. He
made the report OF that committee q
few hours before adjournment, and, In
doing 50. said: ~ vas opposed 70 the
increase In conference rs l have been
opposed to 1t in the discussions and in
my votes here; but my assistant CON
freres were In favor Of the amendment,
and wal compelled TO choose between
signing the report and running the risk
OF bringing on IN extra session Of con-
gress."
He was the only member Of the con-
ference committee Of six who opposed
the grab, and he subsequently voted for
the bill with the obnoxious amendment

We are astonished sometimes at the en-
ergy manifested by some men in trying to
destroy the faith of their neighbors in the
Bible. Suppose you are able to out-resson
some weak-minded man and take away his
trust in Christianity. In what respect have
you made him better or happier man!
What have you to offer in its place? When
his child lies in the coffin what consolation
have you for him? When he gets old and
trembling and is ready to die what hope have
you to sustain him? Intidelity is simply a ne
cation. 1t pulls down, but never builds up.
Anybody can destroy. A mailman can mar
and deface the most exquisite work of the
sculptor An idiot can set fire to library
or gallery of art that it has taken centuries
of wisdom to gather. Is it well for man to
unite himself with the band of destroyers.
Is it not better to join the great army of

sacrificing heart labour to build up and make

There are we believe seven drinking places
in Vancouver. 1t is a very low estimate to
say that there is spent for liquors in each
one of these places not less than 81, 600 max

solutely lost to the community -worse than
that-there goes with it happy homes, guile
less purity and noble manhood. What is
received for it? Crime, poverty, shame,
wretchedness and despair The money
worse than wasted any single year in the
manufactures of crime and suffering in this
town would build brick college sufficiently
large to accommodate all the children Of the
community and furnish it with all the mod
ern educational apparatus-the money that
continues to be spent in this way every year
would endow such college and insure to
every boy and girl in the town free col
legiate education.

There is one thing that works about
the same way in all counties in this
Territory, which is exemplified by the
following remarks from the Olympia
Courier:
Last week We gave brief notice OF
the election returns from Lewis county.
Mr.. H. J. Brooks, of that county, ran
rs an Independent candidate and was
reelected auditor, beating both the
regular candidates. This is severe
rebuke to the ring of republicans, who
put up a job to defeat him. BY it they
lost several other county officers. Mr..
H. J. Brooks has been a good officer,
faithful and honest, and we are glad
he is reelected.

The Seattle HteYigencer says that
"the active and effective participation
of Judge Jacobs in the recent political
campaign was in marked contrast
with the say-nothing, do-nothing
course of a number of other republican
leaders, who apparently thought
Brents doomed to defeat. This will
certainly be remembered to the credit
of the Judge, and will stand him in
good stead in the distribution offuture
party favors.n
These are pretty and complimentary
words for Judge Jacobs. But let us
compare them with the official vote of
Seattle and King county, the home of
Judge Jacobs. Seattle gives Brents 8
majority, and Tibbetts for Brig. Gen.
1856 majority. King county gives
Brents 80 majority, and Tibbitts 397
majority. How small a bodkin doth
prick the enormous bubble of Judge
Jacobs influence for Brents.
