II is announced that the friends Of the
sassafras route for ship canal, tired of
waiting for government aid, have deter
mined to build their canal without it.
That is sensible thing to do, if they have
faith in their project that it viii reward
them after it is built, But, for the pur-
poses of a ship canal, to afford the most
direct route for the commerce Of Balti-
more to the ocean, nothing could be more
absurd than this same Sassafras route.
And il needs no survey to determine this
fact. Any one acquainted with the PENN
sula, and the two bays which lave its
shores, must know this fact without sur
vey. And yet three several routes have
been surveyed by the government to as
certain which of the three Is the most
feasible. A ten year old child who had
egcr been over these routes ought to know
that either the Chester or the Choptank
routes are Es preferable to the Sassafras,

THAT ORDINANCE QUESTION

EDITOR TELLER : If you will permit
me, Mr.. Editor, ] would like to say
something as an advocate of Ordinance
As. Your paper has shown itself the
on,,u one worthy of the name, fer
brother Parker, with all his boasts last
week of "agressiveness aIrd fearless
ness" was too much afraid to speak>
our, either for or against. His non
allusion to the subject stamps him to
be either coward or knave- either
afraid of the whisky interests or try
ing to make friendship with the God
and morality party. His action is
simply disgusting, and stamps him as
one unfit to run paper. Did he sup
pose his shallow artifce would be
overlooked2 He is not a "philan-
thropist to any alarming extent" nor
does his paper show any "alarmins
extent" of manliness, and the sooner
he steps down and out the better.

IN Twos.

Somewhere in the world there hi lie
Garden gates that no one sees
Save they come in happy twos-
Not in ohes, nor yet i'll threes.
But from every maiden's door
Leads pathway straight and true.
Maps and surveys know it not;
He who finds room for two.
Then they see the garden gates!
Never skies so blue as theirs,
Never flowers so many sweets
As for those who come in pairs.
Round and round the alleys wind,
Now cradle bars their way,
Now little mound behind--
So the two 60 through the day.
When no nook in all the lanes
But has heard song or sigh,
Lo! another garden gate
Opens as the two go by
II they wander, knowing not,
"Five-and-tw fills the air
With silvery echo low,
All about the startled pair.
Happier yet these garden walks;
Closer, heart 10 heart, they iean
St'llcr, softer falls the light;
Few the twos, and far between,
Till at last, as oft they pass
Down the paths 50 well they know,
Once again at hidden gates
Stand the two; they enter slow.
Golden gates of fifty years,
May our two your latchet press
Garden of the Sunset Land
Hold their dearest happiness.
Then quiet walk again
Then a wicket in the wall
Then one, st piping on alone
Then two at the Heart of All!

IDAHO RAILROAD ROUTES.

The Lewiston papers are full to over
erhowing with information concerning
practicable railroads routes between
the junction of Clearwater and Snake
rivers and the great prairies lying east
of the main range of the mountains.
This interest is mainly due to tha fact
that the town of Lewiston would be
greatly benefited by the construction
of railroad over the route mentioned.
Capitalists are also spending money for
the purpose of proving whether or not
that any of tie passes east of Lewis
ton are practicable. The 0. r. L. N.
Co. has small party in the field, and
another party of surveyors has recently
gone up Clearwater in the interests OF
some person or persons Maj. Truax
has charge of one of the parties 1t is
hinted that the Northern Pacific has
an interest in the search. No one pre-
tends to say that he has ever made =
thorough examination of the routes
proposed, and no surveyor can, or will
to-day say that it is or is not practic-
able. Only those VINO know ieaSt aoou'
the route make positive statements.
Among the passes named as practica
BILE are the Clearwater, Skakaho, and
Lolo. Nothing definite is known
about these passes, but old residents
miners, prospectors and adventures arr
numerous who claim that there are nj
serious difficulties to be abridged b,
civil engineers in locating a railroad
east and west through the range o
mountains referred to. In the mat
ter of distance, a road by way of an.
of the three passes named would sav
many miles. We do not look upo1
the Clearwater route as dangerou
rival to that settled upon by the N. T
company. The Pen d'Oreille division
nearly finished, and the through train
to the east will pass by Cheney, spe
kane Falls and by way of Pc
dOreille lake. If Lewiston has
bright prospect before her, we have n
reason to be sorry, but congratula'

HOureS:

This table shows that the United
States during the last five years has
furnished England with considerably
over one half of the whea. which she
has received from all foreign countries
The Oregonian says in conclusion:
Last year we shipped to the United
Kingdom more wheat than during any
former one; and if the shipments of
this year shall fall below those of last,
the fact will be due to the shortness OF
our crops rather than any reduction OF
the English demand. Our me ,hods
have so reduced the cost Of production
of handling, and of transit, that we
had a decided advantage over the
wheat growers Of other countries in
the competition for the chief market
of the world, and we shall undoubted.

be able to put in operation her new
policy Of retaliation.

the $40 A. NJ. train from Charlotte, tool.

certain If the livery stable was open. He
proceeded to Hillhouse's stable and ar
ranged for conveyance TO the home of
mis- father.in-law, Mr.. w. Il. Long, about
twelve miles from the city.
Several young gentlemen having recog-
nized Priester, notified Policeman Carter,
who arrested him Mt the stable rs he was
preparing to depart in buggy. When
first approached he attempted to pass for
his twin brother, but soon after his arrest
acknowledged himself to be VIM. Henry
Priester

receiving the reply that he was dead and
wept bitterly. His wifo, who has re-
turned to her parents, was sent for by
Priester's earnest request and was per-
mitted to see him in the Jail this after
noon. Priester wears haggard and
wild expression and declines 10 converse.
except briefly with intimate friends and
former schoolmates.
His wife, who speaks of him in the
kindliest terms, expresses herself con-
vinced of Priester's insanity, the first
symptoms of which she says developed
themselves about three months ago.
alrs. Priester also states that the state
ment that Capt. Priester requested that his
son be hung is not true that the old
gentleman before he died forgave the
deed, but asked that if his son should be
captured he bo dealt with in a man.

the highest esteem.
