The s'OreYOnian's'' Latest Opinion of
the Great W0uId-be NefOrner.

Is the so-called preacher-Rev. L. A.
Banks-editor OF a so-called temperance pa
Der printed at Vancouver-the same Rev.
i. A. Banks who was Grand Chaplain of the
order of Good Templars in Oregon, and
against whom were brought charges of vio-
lating the obligations of a Good Templar, by
drinking, which charges-as the proof con-
fronted hm--he was obliged to confess
were true, whereupon-as it was desired to
avoid public scandal-he was informed
that he could make his choice of withdraw
Ing from the order or taking the obligation
anew! If this is thesame Rev. L. A. Banks,
all that was said about him in a paragraph
recently in the Oregonian was justitiable,
and more Doubtless it was an extremely
good thing for Rev. L. A. Banks to reform,
if indeed his reformation is true one. 1t
is to be hoped he will keep 'the pledge"
hereafter But there is danger always that
those people who yesterday violated their
temperance obligation, and who are most
extreme and fanatical of temperance men of
to-day, will again be off their balance to-
morrow. The best temperance man Is he
who follows consistently temperate life
throughout. The man whose life is always
an exemplary and consistent one is likely to
do more for the world than a dozen ire
claimed" individuals, who, the oftener they
reform" the greater every time is their
misguided zeal. If Rev. L. A. Banks of the
so-called temperance paper at Vancouver be
the same Rev. L. A. Banks whose relations
with the order of Good Templars in Oregon
were unpleasantly interrupted by his pro-
pensity to drink, his present ardor can be
accounted for on the supposition that he
thinks now, because he has become virtu-
GUS, there shall be no more cakes and ale.

A Puget Sound exchange says that
at this time last year the rush to the
Skagit mining region amounted to a
complete and almost frenzied stam-
pede. OF the great company of eager
gold seekers who braved the mountain
SHOWS and recklessly crossed swollen
torrents in their great haste to reach
the tabled gold fields, only eleven re-
manned throughout the winter, and
these barely made wages. Persons af-
fiicted with the Wood river fever may
do well to remember this.

Recent dispatches from New York
state that Mr.. Henry Willard wishes
to compromise Northern Pacific Rail-
road matters with the Billings man
agement. What has become of Mr.
Wizards boasted control OF the n. p.
railroad? This is the first instance in
railroad history where the party that
has boasted Of absolute control has
made proposals for compromise with
the vanquished opponents.

The authorities in New York city
are engaged in a quarrel as to who
shall clean the streets. In the mean
time the city lays reeking in filth, and
epidemic diseases are rapidly increas-

uring too prominently in the health
reports. The country need not be sur
prised to hear of fearful epidemics pre-
vailing there this summer, as conse-
quence of such criminal neglect.

In that portion of the city known as
South Seattle, says the Post, two enter
prisine ladies undertook to grade =
piece of ground, thirty feet in
length by twenty-five in width, and
Ave feet in depth. 1t was very hard
digging, being clay and gavel: They
had to remove the earth some distance,
but they worked industriously, and
at the end of week had accomplished
their task, showing what energy and
ambition will do for the fair sex.
They found numerous Indian relics,
old coins, medals, a large quantity Of
beads, bones, skulls, etc., while exca-
waiting, and presumably supposed the
spot was an Indian burying ground In
days gone by.

The Pafisic Cancer has announced
that "all parties in Clarke Co. to whom
sample copies of the Cancer have been
sent, have received it for more than
four weeks. All who have notified us
of their desire to have it discontinued
have been stricken from the list. The
rest have been placed upon our regu-
lar subscription list. Persons desiring
to discontinue their paper must now
remit to us for the amount received"
The Walla Walla Statesman makes q
very appropriate comment upon such
questionable business methods when
it says "This is pure, immaculate, I'M
adulterated gall, boiled down to the
auintessence of cheek. Such BULLDOG
ing newspapers is what is bringing
journalism into disrepute.".

The statements as to the popular vote
cast for president last November do
not agree. The discrepancy mainly
grows out of the fact that in several
states there were mixed electoral tick
cts, and in distributing the vote on
these tickets the compilers differ.
Counted one way Hancock had plu-
rality; counted another way Garfield
had plurality. Edward Mcpherson,
the compiler of the Tribune almanac,
makes the popular vote for Garfield
1, 454, 42l, and that for Hancock 4,446,
lss. Other compilers make three or
four thousand plurality for Hancock.

To-day another scene of commotion was wit

fortunately the popular excitement did not
reach the pitch which has been ma infested in

fortnight ago in serving processes on g nants at
Donoghmore, when he was waylald by a mob,
