FRANK Smith, the mate of the tug
Blakely, was shot in the head and
dangerously wounded last Monday,
by Herbert Knowles, at Port Blake.
ly. 1t appears that the previous
evening disturbance arose over
a game of pool which they were
playing and after Smith had gone
aboard his vessel, Knowles remarked
that he would /" fix him" in the
morning. At an early hour the next
day Knowles stealthily approached
Smith while at work on the steamer,
and shot him with q revolver, the
ball entering the back of the neck
and passing through the left cheek,
under the eye. Knowles was arrest
ed and placed under $4,000 bonds
to answer to the charge of assault
with intent to kill. Smiths injuries
will not necessarily prove fatal.

A Political MuDDLE.-A WASH
ington special dispatch to the N. Y.
World sums up the political situa-
ton as follows, which indicates any
thing but a united party in future
contests: It is an open secret that
the Cabinet is breaking up. Window
must get out of the Treasury, if not
out of the Cabinet, and Window and
McVeagh are bent on breaking down
Blaine if possible, before they lose
their grip. Garfield, who is worn
out with the strain upon him, does
not clearly know which side to act
with and the rest of the Cabinet are
nonentities. Kirkwood's incapacity
is such that the very clerks in the
department laugh at him, and Hunt
is sick to death OF the routine work
Of the Navy Department. Perhaps
the only really really happy man in
the concern is Bob Lincoln, who no.
body thinks about and who fancies
that the country is settling down on
him AZ the great compromise Rspub-
lican candidate for the succession in
1884.

and like Oliver Twis. continually
hold out their spoons for more.
The idea generally entertained by
the public of journalism, is quite as
erroneous as that formed by the nov
ice of the faiiy-land behind the foot
lights. The privileges enjoyed by
the press are regarded as tributes to
genius or position, and few look be-
yond to discover any other cause.
They do not reflect that more than
an equivalent is expected and gen.
orally rendered for all such "com-
pliments," nor that those who avail
themselves of this method of adrer-
Using are shrewd III having selected
not only the least expensive but the
most effective means of securing
value without an equivalent.
These views may appear somewhat
cynical, but we trust that an occa-
sional exhibition of morbid sensitive
ness will be pardoned and modest
space be occasionally accorded for
pouring balm of Gilead upon the
bruises received in the scramble for
a livelihood, especially when we so
freely acknowledge it to be duty to
pat the back of everybody else the re-
remainder of the time. If this not
deemed a sufficient excuse, the read
er must bear in mind that we set out
to show who are the real benefactors
of their race, and not blame us if the
logic of facts should place upon our
brows the crown.

Railroad Progress.

The only i that Mr.. Billi".;e adj
mits has stood in the VI, o! Il
speedy completion of tie Nolthern
Pacific Railroad to Puget Sound
was its impracticabi!jty, Hhl this
seems to have been entirely le-
moved by recent surveys. The Ia
coma Lrdyfr, which of course
speaks from authority, says that it
is now definitely determined there
are several routes by which the Cas-
cade Division could diverge from
the Puyallup branch. One of these
is from Wilkeson, another from
South Prairie, another from Alder
ton and another from Puyallup sta
ton by Stuck and along either the
north or south side of Green river.
All of these routes have been sur.
veyed except tina: along the north
side of Green river. Then up Green
river to within % or 80 miles of the
pass the surveys have been extended
by Messas. Ward and Sheets, who
are now revising this work in order
to straigh.en out the lines, which are
only preliminary. There are no
difficulties at all on any part of the
line from Tacoma up.to the western
base of the Green river pass.
Mr.. Ward will shortly be with
drawn and get ready to locate the
line between Kalama and Portland,
on the Washington Territory side.
He will use the present party in this
work. Sheets will continue the sur
veying to locate from the Puyallup
branch. There are five parties now
at work on the Green river route.
and one of them will be moved to
the Columbia river, leaving four
parties in the mountains. Mr..
Bogue's party and that of Mr.. Eckel-
ston, under Bogue's direction, at
last accounts had run down On the
western side five or six miles, on the
north side of the creek, and probably
they Lave four or five miles more to
cover on the north side of the creek
to complete the survey. When he
has finished that he will return to
the summit and run line westward
down the south side of the creek.
Mr.. White srunning similar surveys
on the eastern slope of the pass.
Mr.. Kingsbury has located west
from the Columbia river about
twenty-five miles, and is making
good Roadway up the Yakima river,
with the prospect of reaching Yakima
city within, say eight weeks, the
distance being about 100 miles. No
haste appears to DO required as to
the location up the Yakima, since
that portion of the line east of Yak
ina city does not enter into the ques-
ton to be determined as between
the Matches and Green river passes.
A seventh party is now being organ
lied to run q line on the Oregon side
of the Columbia river from q point
opposite Kalama TO Portland.

WHEN Cne Ola Oreek pullosopuoi
went into the streets in broad day
light with a lantern to look for an
honest man, it was regarded as a
mark of genius, and we at the pre-
sent day are taught to revere an act
which was doubles intended as q
satire upon the state of public life at
that time. If a modern savant
should endeavor to inculcate a
moral, by such means, however, it is
by no means certain that he would
not be incarceratsd in an insane
asylum within twenty-four hours.
Whether this change of popular SEN
timent can be attributed to an adj
vance in mental training which in
duces an indifference end contempt
for such primitive methods OF instruc-
ton, or that dishonesty has become
so general in public life that for a
man to endeavor by artificial light to
discover any exception whatever to
the rule, is not clear; but, in view Of
the course of political events the
past few years, We rather incline to
the latter opinipn, and shall rever-
ence the memory Of Diogenes as
marking an era of purer public NOR
ais than our own.
