The Oregon Short Line.
Wood River Times.

Last Monday a new Station was
opened at American Falls, on the west
bank of the Snake river, on the Ore
gon Short Line railroad, and orders
were issued from the headquarters OF
the Union Pacific Railroad that all
Wood river freight consigned to Black
foot be stopped at Pocatello and sent
to American Falls. Mr.. Adams, Sec
retary of the 0. S. L. Forwarding
Company, started at once for American
Falls, and began the work OF con-
structing a platform and warehouse
for his company.
From American Falls the railroad
will run directly west for about 30
miles 10 big bend in the Snake river
where ii will only be four miles dis
tant from the stream. From the bend
the road will follow southwestcrly
course for about 20 miles to point
opposite the Goose creek ferry. 1t
will then take true northerly course
across the lava beds for Little Wood
river. BY following this route instead
OF the one proposed, tie lava beds will
be crossed at their narrowest, and the
road will be built much more rapidly.
1t is expected that whatever earth may
be required in grading across the lava
beds will have to he brought in from
the Snake river valley on construction
trains.

The soldiers in Alexandria, Egypt,
are openly asking for the deposition of
the Khedive, and declare they will, if
necessary, oppose Turkey herself. Not
only are the women and children leav-
ing the country, but men of large ma
terial interests in Egypt are begging
passages and leaving property behind.
Many large capitalists are arranging
to leave permanently, not III panic, but
alter calculating the cost of such a
step. The khedive and Dervish Pasha
have gone to Alexandria in pursuance
al orders from the Sultan. Arab Pa
sha rode to the depot ia the same car
riage with the khedive. The Snltan
invited the British ambassador to the
Palace and expressed to him his regret

andria as $50 Many were thrown
into the sea and their bodies are being
daily washed ashore.

If the primary is not fair way of
testing a mans strength then we
would like to know how to get at it.
There can be no possible way of
playing tricks, trading or ANYTHING of
that sort. A man goes before the
people purely on his merits, and
has no opportunity to put up Jobs.
OF course the primary is disadvan-
rage to all those who wish jobbery
and take a delight in trying to pack
conventions. The primary is held
especially tor the purpose of prevent
ing this, and that is what makes the
tricksters oppose to the system.
OF course we don't mean to saw
by this that all men who are in ia
vor of the convention system are
tr,cksters or would do anything dis
honorable. The primary settles the
question of nomination and leaves
no room tor discontents to bolt the
ticket or claim that. they were not
treated fair.

but say to the Senator from Yer
mont, that it is useless for him to
tell me that he believes my profess
ions of loyalty TO this country when
he heaps upon nv brow the ban OF
prescription and of hate. 1t is uso-
less for the Senator to say that he
has no personal feeling OF unkind-
ness TO any Senator on this side OF
the Chamber, when i'll the same
breath he says, You are not the
equals of the other citizens OF the
United States: although you say
that YOU are loval TO the Govern
ment, we are not willing to trust
YOU"
AS | said once before on the av-
erages OF pensions bill. when pend
ing in the Senate, ask and those
who form this government, expect
the simple concession that we were
earnest in our devotion to the Con-
federate cause, and honest when we
swear that we accept all the legiti-
mate results of defeat; and to those
who rlsked all and lost all every just
and generous mind should concede
that much.
Sir, to-day the people OF the
United States want peace. not IN
terms, but peace in fact. They
want the material prosperity of the
country advanced. They want the
past put behind them. except i'll SO
far as 1t may bind the Union closer
between the sessions by demonstrate
ing in that great war the gallantry OF
the common American name and
the common American lineage.
The Senator asks, Why revive this
question? Sir, we simply ask for
the legitimate consequences of what
the Senator and his colleagues say
when they profess to belieye we are
worthy to represent sovereign states
upon this floor as Senators of the
United States. What inconsistency
is it when we are admitted here
and our brain, such as it is. is given
to the public service, and yet we are
told that our hearts, our blood, our
arms, are unfit for the military or
naval service of our common coun-
try.
n This is the reason why we object
to this statute. object to it because,
while the profession is that we
are believed to be sincere in our pro-
professions of loyalty to the Union,
this statue says in SO many words,
"You are unfit to be rusted in the
common defense of this whole Union
of which you profess to be loyal

THE CAUCUS BILL

The Congressional app"Fdoh-
ment bill introduced simultaneous
ly in botl, branches of the Legsla-
ture Monday, was the bill decided
upon by the joint Democratic eau
Gus
AS was expected the bill intro
duced, through the work OF a Dem
ocratic caucus, does not give salts
faction to all even of that party.
The principle, and in fact the only
tenable objection, raised against II,
is tin at it does not provide Demo-
cratic majorities sufficient to make
absolutely reliable more than ten dis
tricts out of the fourteen. St. Louis
especially is unfortunate i'll having
very small majorIties in the two dis
tricts into which that city has been
divided. But st. Louis politics is
so fiuctuating that a reliable estimate
of future states can never be made
with any degree of certainty.
The political complexion of the
districts as mapped out in the new
bill stand, according to the latc
Presidential vote, thirteen Demo
cratic and one Republican; three
out of the thirteen, however. the 18th.
Sth and 9th, have such small major
tiles that they arc considered very
doubtful Therefore. objection is
made, believing that at least twelve,
if not the thirteen, could be
made reliably Democratic over all
OPPOSITION.
The single Republican District is
the thirteenth and is composed of
the following counties: Jasper,
Newton, Mcdonald, Lawrence,
Barry, Polk, Greene, Christian,
Stone, Taney, Webster and Dallas.
A combination of Republicans and
in this district would
give majority over the Democrats
Of 6,7o4.
In all probability the bill as re-
ported will pass and become a law.
Notwithstanding.th the objection raised.
The supporters OF the bill allege
that it is the best that can be done,
and there is fair chance for the Dem
ocrats to elect thirteen out of four
teen congressman at the next. cleo
lion. Democrats will generally
ocmc to the support of the bill and
he redistricting OF Missouri will be
settled.
The place fixed for Bates county
IS in the Twelfth District which is
of the following counties:
Cass, Bates, Vernon, Barton, Hen
y, St. CLAIR, Cedar and Dade.

publican and Sreenback combined

and political status of
his district is concerned, it could
.ot have been constructed any bet
er; but both Senator Bradley and
Representative Ballard, with every
Democratic member from the pres
mt Sixth District except Dale from
Cass county. opposed the PROPOSE
ion in the caucus, not because of any
lirect objection to the composition
# the Twelfth District, but because
hey felt that SO many splendid coun-
les in the southwest should not be
.iven over to a hopeless Republican
ule. In this opinion they were oor-
rect, and If the Democrats

ributable to the Democrats of the
more fortunate Twelfth.

harrangue about the grand ''God

having nothing else particularly to

themselves, took an earnest part IN the
debate in which all the old sores
were torn open and LETT gaping af-

The House was in session all day,
having nothing of Importance be-
