Judge Lewis thought that temper

tui, just as other great REFORMS have
tnumphed by agitation and the u'ti-
mate unity OF popular opinion. He
did not think 1t would be long.
Iowa had prohibition backed by n
70 900 majority of the party which
upheld 1t. No question was now
before the nation but that of tariff,
and he was IN favor of placing this
chestnut-burr under the tail of the
Republican nag to spur 1t on to re-
newed effort.

UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL.--It ap-
pears that the almost incessant fall
of rain the past week has not been
confined to this county, or the Ter
ritory, but that in Oregon the storm
has been one of the most violent
experienced for many years. At
Portland total fall of l0i inches is
reported in 4S hours. which had the
affect of raising the river about eight
feet, placing it at sixteen feet above
lowwater mark. Many bridges were
washed away on the tributaries of
the Willamette, and serious damage
has been done to the railroad track
between Portland and The Dales.
The slides and washouts are so nu-
merous that communication for some
time must be by river.

The Courier, last week published
the revised" official vote of the
Territory, which increases Mr.. Brents
majority to 3,0OS, II votes more
than were given in the table pre-
viously published by US. The dis
crepancy is owing to the counting of
a precinct in Clallam county, after
the Auditor had made his return to
the Secretary. 1t seems that he re-
considered his action and after
amending his returns, transmitted a
new abstract to Mr.. OwiDgs, who
changed his figures to accord. Clal-
lam as amended" gave Brents SO
and Burke so.

Leaving an estimated balance. si,lso Is

a VOTE took place, last week, in
Anne Arandal county, Maryland, on
local option. The polling places and
streets were filled with ladies' vigor-
ously electioneering in behalf of the
temperance ticket, many of them
holding tickets. An organized band
of ladies' went from poll to poll,
singing Hold the Fort" etc. APP
plication was made to the mayor to
have them removed from the poll, it
being alleged they were interfering
with the election. The mayor re-
fused to have them removed, and
ordered policemen to arrest any per-
son who should swear in the pres
ence of the ladies, or otherwise treat
them with disrespect. 1t is expected
the ladies will be triumphant.

IT is reported that the reason why
the Marquis of Lornc changed his
proposed route of return from Vic
toria, and did not come through our
Territory to depart by the Column
bia river, was because of the receipt
OF a warning letter threatening the
party with assassination while pass
ing over the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. 1t will be remembered that
the same threat Was made when the
royal party left San Francisco, and
tine harbof was searched for hidden
torpedoes, before the vessel carrying
it was allowed to depart. 1t is quite
probable that both reports were
purely sensational, but in this age Of
cranks and their diabolical deeds, 1t
is the part Of wisdom to guard rs far
as possible against threatened dan
ger.

ROBERT Bruce, who is doubtless a
lineal descendant of the persevering
Scottish chief. suggests, in the True
script of the 18th ultimo, the con-
struction of ship canal from the
Columbia river to the head of Puget
Sound, as means of ensurinG our
local growth and permanency. The
Government is to build it, soon as
the services of some DeLessens can
be secured to engineer the project.
Certainly. Wonder we never thought
of the idea, while Seattle is building
her transmontane railroad, and Stcil-
accom- is laying the groundwork
the road-bed, so to speak--of her
Oriental and Occidental Railway and
Steamship Co. You are right Rob-
ert; you are our Moses, who it is ev-
identity appointed shall lead us safe
ly from the wilderness, though it
may be decreed that your eyes shall
never view the promised land, except
from a mOuntain-top. But we have
faith in you, Notwithstanding your
first step is for that delusive chimera,
State Government. When that is
taken, and the result is accomplished,
doubtless this and countless other
blessings will he of easy growth.

MISCELLANEOUS.

REPORTS from the flooded districts
are encouraging. In many places the peo-
pie are making ready to put in their crops.
JOHN LAND, one of the Blue Cut train
robbers on trial in the Criminal Court at
Independence, Mo-, has made a statement
to the effect that two weeks prior to the
robbery Creed Chapman and John Bugler
came to him and told him OF a plan Jesse
James and Jim Cummings had on hand to
rob the train at Blue Cut and invited him to
participate. He refused for several DAYS to
have anything to do with them, but they
finally came to him in company with Jesse
James, and being afraid to longer resist, he
consented to join the gang. Jesse told him
that he had authentic Information that on
the night OF September : the Kansas City
banks would receive large sum Of money
by express from Chicago and ST. Louis, and
accordingly that train was selected. On
the evening of the robbery the party
consisting Of, besides Jesse James, Dick Lit
tie and the old gang, John Bugler, Greed
Chapman, John Mott and Henry Bugler-
met In wild spot near Glendale Station and
perfected the plans for stopping the train.
John Mott was at that time agent at Glen
dale Station, and he furnished n lantern and
red flag to signal the train. Land took
the lantern aud stopped the train, and while
Jesse James and Dick Little robbed the ex-
press the others of the party robbed the
passengers. AS soon as the robbery was
committed the gang repaired TO an old house
in Cracker Neck forest aud there made a
partial division Of the money; but pursuit
being organized so soon Jesse James took
possession OF all the money and vsluables
and with the members of the gang fed to
Clay County, advising the Cracker Neck

Two inmates of the Dayton (Ohio)
Lunatie Asylum had deadly struggle the
other night. One, named John DrummOnd,
had arrived that day. He was farmer,
living in Brown County, and the cause of his
insanity was said to be jealousy. He had
several times attempted suicide, and threat
ened to kill others. On his arrival he was
quiet and tractable, but during the night he
became noisy and was removed to a strong
cell, in which was an old man named O'Con-
nell, OF quiet habit When the Waterman
entered the cell, toward morning, O'COnnell
bounded out from the corner frantic with

scratched in many places, and one finger
was nearly bitten of.
