William Curtis win give general summary. Inc
society richly merits the generous support OF tie
community.
As fitting supplement to the outcome OK tho
Speakership contest some enterprising Democratic
with this ticket for 1884:
For President: JOHN GRIFFIN CARLISLE. Of Ken
lucky.
For Vice President: SAMUEL SULLIVAN SUNSET
Cox, of New-York.
Platform American Industries must go.
1t needs no argument to prove that New-York,
and the dealers in petroleum who operate in New
York, would be better off with only one Oil Ex-
change instead Of two. Now there are two rival
Boards, and each has twice increased its member
ship within year. Concentration of orders and
dealings in one Exchange would make the strongest
and most influential body in the country; but now,
New-York orders being divided between two rival
bodies, many strong operators send to Oil City
when they wish to influence the market. At last
both Exchanges in this city have appointed COM
mttee to consult to terms of union and the desire
Of the substantial members Of both Exchanges Is
that the subject should be carefully considered
Union of the two would make strong body whose
dealings would control the oil business in this
country The banks which loan money on oil GER
tifcates have interest in bringing the control OF
the business to this city. AS matters now stand,
both Of the New-York Exchanges wait for quota
tons from Oil City and are governed by them.
With a consolidation here, the business would
properly look to NewYork as its controlling centre
Mr.. Hendricks Is reported as saying that he re-
CARDS Mr. Blaine's letter on the reserve as AN
adroit move on his part to make the tariff and in
ternal revenue systems leading questions in the
next campaign" Yes indeed-it is sinister plot
this of Mr. Blaine's and we rejoice to see Mr.
Hendricks expose it. Some people think that the
questions referred to occasioned the letter. Mr..
Hendricks knows better-he knows that the letter
occasioned the questions. AS likely as not but for
tho letter, the only leading question, next year,
would have been Capitalization.
Lord Rip0n has shared the fate of every Vieeroy
of India who has made an honest effort to reform
abuses in the Government and to deal with the
native population on broad principles of equity.
Even Lord Lawrence, the deverer of the Punjaub,
could not interest himself actively III behalf of his
subjects without mourning the enmity Of the Euro
pean residents. One of the best VicerOys India has
ever had, and one of the nOblest men England has
ever produced, he was bitterly opposed by his own
countrymen in Calcutta, and returned to London

Ripon is Kissed in the street and openly insuted at

and statesmanlike policy i'll reference to the Jurls-

The sinking of pilot-boat and her yawl Dy
the steamship Alaska is a remarkable accident
az well as a sad one. According to some Cd
servers, it is the first of its kind on record.
Pilots, all the world over, form specially care
full class of mariners, who realize fully the peril
they run in putting one of their number OH
board an incoming steamship. In this man,
9uvre, it seems, the pilot-boat drops It's ya",
containing the pilot to be put on board anu
then cuts across the bows of the steamship,
which by this time should have nearly stopped
moving, in order to take up the yawi' which
drifts astern. In this accident, the pilot
instead of getting safely across the Alaskas
bows, ran into her, or was run over by her.
Then the yawl foated against the great vesseis
side, and was capsized. Thus it was double
accident, and no one belonging to the pilot-boat
Is living to tell the tale But it is plain enough
that if the Alaska was going as slowly as she
oupbt to have been, the unfortunate commander
of the pilot-boat made fatal mistake in calcu-
lation. which none of his class has been guilty
of before in many years.

Last Sunday was one of the quietest Sundays
this city has enjoyed for long time, much to
the disgust of sly tOpers. The explanation is
not hard to find. 1t is the new Interpretation
placed upon the Excise law by Inspector
Thorne. The police have been instructed not
to recognize any longer the licenses of liquor
sellers who have been convicted of violating
the law. SO conviction now does not mean
only fine of $40 or even ten days imprison-
ment. 1t means the ruin of the liquor-scllers'
business. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Thone's
Interpretation of the law will be sustained
But if it should not be, it will furnish the next
Assembly with hint as to how one clause OF
anew Excise law should read.
The members of any association for mutual
benefit or pleasure have an unquestioned right
TO spend their common fund for what purposes
they please. 1t is a little hard for outsiders,
however, to understand the principles which
govern some of the expenditures. Take, for i'll
stance, that admirable organization, the Odd
Fellows. The annual report of the work done
by them in New-Jersey for year past shows,
among other things, that while 1904 46 was
spent for the relief Of deceased members fam
tiles and for the education of their children,
v12,866 80 was paid out for the funeral expenses

GOOD CROP PROSPECT.

Reports from all parts Of the State
indicates an unusually good prospect
forsthe coming crop. The favorable
weather during the fall and winter,
has been we'll used by farmers, and
the result is a: largely increased acer-
age. In Yamhill, says the Register,
the prospects were never better, in
regard both to the amount sown
and the appearance of the growing
crcp. The work of good cultivation
fer some years past has been reward
ed with greatly increased yield. 1t
has also demonstrated the fact that
heavy productions does not impov-
erish the soil. Some of the Oldest
settled farms in the county which
have been farmed continuously from
the settlement of the country have
for some years past produced some oi
the heaviest yields reported.

the tragedy just reported from. Teh-

yailing darkness, the cold air of the
mountains, the helpless misery of the
passengers in the coaches rushing to
obstruction absolutely without con-

the relics of the splintered cars, and
worked its awful will on the impris-

by which the necessary warming

LARGE FIRE IN PORTLAND.
Loss Nearly a quarter Million


The two fires at four o'clock last Friday
morning in Portland, were confined to their
original limits. Everything In Corbitt L
Macley's extensive wholesale grocery house,
extending through from Front to First
street. was burned. Not dollars worth
of goods was saved Both fronts of the
building are standing, and will probably
not have to come down. The fire was dis
covered by Capt. A. P. Ankeny, who rooms
in New Market block. Through one OF the
front windows, lowered at the top for ven
tilation, dense smoke poured into his lodg-
ings. This awakened him and he immedi-
ately began search about the theater block
to discover the fire. Not finding fire in the
building, he started out to First street and
saw heavy, dense smoke forcing its way
through the second story windows of the
block formerly owned by. him. About the
same time, B. Blanchet, nightwatchman at
Ash street dock, made like discovery, but
was unable to exactly locate the fire.
The flames did not burst out until half
past four. Fire was confined to the first
story, and both entrances being barred by
iron doors, the flames could not find vent
until they had burned through the second
story and shot out of the unbarred windows.
Before that the fire seemed to roll up and
down the long warehouse vainly endeav-
oring to fight its way out. It was useless
to try &c save Corbett & Macleay's building.
