Every time the Democrats succeed

Every time the Democrats succeed IN
electing a Governor in State, in which
parties are pretty evenly balanced, the
immediate effect appears to be-, that he
at once steps prominently into the field
as probable candidate for the Presi.
Dental nomination. Because Grover
Cleveland was successful in New York
he has sporadioally been mentioned in
connection with that office. Ben. But
Ter, on account of having led the motley
host of Democrats and Greenbackers TO
victory last year in Massachusetts, APP
pears quite frequently above the hori'
zon of political possibilities. And now
comes Mr.. Hoadley, recently victorious
ia the great State Of Ohio, whose
friends with charming promptitade toss
the castor of their last champion into
the ring and cry him as the coming
man. There is too much eifervescence
about our Democratic rival& None of
these fitful bursts of popularity move
the silurian statesman Of Grammercy
Park. And yet he must not be- left ont
of the account. Silent, grim, pertina-
oious he watches all the moves upon the
okeoksrboard of politics, and waits his
time for action. When the Rext Demo
cratic convention meets, Samuel j. Til
don will be on hand.

The sth day of November next will be

of Mahommedan prophets. On that

sent from Mecca throughout NOLAN.
medan countries warning followers OF
the great prophet to prepare for the
startling event. The world will not end
next month, but the failure of the pre-
diction will not shake the faith of true
believers. Since time was, superstition
has governed the actions and produced
the happiness or misery of II large pro.
portion of earth's peoples; and while

THE CORNWALL MINEs.--P. Il. Corn
wall, ESQ, of San Francisco, passed
through the city yesterday en- route for
Whatcom, where he will remain for a
few days. La conversation with Posr-
lNrEIIIeEScKR reporter, MIR. Cornwall
stated that AS soon as spring opened
work would be begun in earnest at the
Cornwall mines Mining machinery of
the most approved pattern will be taken
to the mines as soon AS the completion
of the railroad renders its trausporta-
ton possible. and il is the intention of
the managers to push them to their
fullest evelopment. MIR. Cornwall Is
enthusiastic over the future of Seattle
and Western Washington, which he
terms the Pennsylvania of the Pacific.
He said: Nowhere in the United States
are there such enormous quantities of
coal and iron awaiting the development
which time and capital will surely
bring. have never seen finer speci-
mems of ore than some which have been
taken from deposits near the Snoqual-
mie Pass" Mr.. Cornwall will stop in
Seattle for several days on his return
from Whatcom.

A Local ScANDAL.-The Walla Wall
ans have been in trouble for two months
past over the financial arrangements
connected with the Willard reception.
1t was all but impossible to raise the
money in the first place, and only lit
tie over twelve hundred dollars in all
was obtained. The matter was turned
over principally to a member of the
City Council, named Fletcher, who
handled in all something over eight
hundred dollars. The proper expendi-
ture of the money did not become plain
to the citizens, who have put on foot an
Investigation. Fletcher did cot take
kindly to the investigation, and fumed
and fused around considerably over it.
il was found, however. that he had
charged commission of five per cent.

SINGULAR STREET WoRK.-The ChroH-
icle yesterday called attention to a sort
Of basin dug by the street contractors
on Fourth street, near Marion, and in
cluded within the improvement" of
the street. 1t is an improvement"
that no one but the city authorities
probably can see, and which they, it is
to be reasonably supposed, are unable
TO satisfactorily explain. We haven't
noticed that particular point. bat We
have many others, some of which are
utterly uuaccountabls and stupid. An
other bBsin was partially created on
Third street last year, at the intersection
of Cherry, and on the grading OF Cherry
street that "basin" will DO completed,
the streets rising from the basin in
four different directions and leaving
hole, unsightly and unnecessary, at least
four feet deep. That hole is today tue
chief blemish to Third street from Mill
to Pine, and some of these days will be-
removed ut increased cost to the owner )
of property adjacent. Another cause of
complaint, and most righteous one,
too, Ii to be found in she trenches dug
for sidewalks. They can be seen on the
north end of Ninth street i'll all their
glory. A place il dug out ten or twelve
feet wide two or three feet below the
center of the street, into which to place
the walk. These trenches are Just now
full of water. and the youngsters are
having fine times in them. The frogs.
Of course, will later do the same, and
music will then be obtained permanent
lv by residents, absolutely free of cost.
II may be the good of the frogs WAS had
In view IN the making of these ponds
and 1t may not be. These low, wet
places will be most prolific disease
breeders by and by. Sewerage and
filth generally will make their homes in
them, AID in the shape of diphtheria
and typhoid fever will make their pres
enoe constantly known. II costs more
to build sidewalks in this way, and no
body likes them when they are built.
and yet their building goes right on ali
the same. AS though 1t was the finest
thing in the world. Another of the fan
tastic things of local street engineering
il to be found in street crossings. The
best, safest and cheapest crossings run
straight from walk To walk, sloping To
the street and not to the walk. These
fancy crossings slope both ways, with
the result of increased cost. danger and
unsighiliness, with miserable little
aprons leading to them, nasty mud de-
posits at the aprons, and added labor TO
teams 10 climb over. Neither is there
any good reason whv every crossing
should not be the full width of the side
walk. BY cutting of foot or two of
the width some dangerous places have
been made recently and no good what
ever accomplished. II does seem as if
common sense should be put to more
use in street work, and that what the
whole population demand should be
done, even il not exactly according to
individual taste.

A REaIsrER OF BuILpINas.-A new
building in this city leased for a certain
purpose has been declared unsafe for
the purpose intended. and the lease re-
linquished. The building for certain
other purposes is safe enough, no doubt;
that is. against falling down. This in
cident suggests to Us the need for an
official supervision of new buildings.
In other places such supervision is
had, aud the construction of buildings
not coming within the range of certain
requirement. is prohibited. Why not here:
In the Office which We suggest would be
kept a record Of all houses built after
the opening of the office, with specifica-
lions, and all considerable changes and
repairs would also be reported. Ii may
be little early yet 10 institute such a
system, but We believe the time is not
far distant when it Will be an imperative
necessity.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press voices the
sentiments of every one in this section,
and generally we believe along the line
Of the Northern Pacific, in the follow
ing: A small but noisy faction of stock
holders of the Northern Pacific are said
to be arumbling over the cost of the re-
cent excursion. Doubtless the report il
true. though it really is matter of but
little moment in any case. Ihess peo-
pie. who are. for the most part, domi-
oiled in Philadelphia, are always in a
state of chronic unhappiness that is in
inverse ratio to the smallness of their
pecuniary interest in the road. Too
narrow-miuded TO comprehend that the
excursion was the most splendid adver-
tisement imaginable and is bound to
bear fruit tenfold in excess of what il
cost, they go about the streets tearing
their hair and uttering dire prophecies
OF impending ruin. But the people
along the line of the road, who have a
vital interest in its success, laugh Al
these maunderings, and heartily and
unanimously indorse Mr.. Willard and
his liberal and far-sighted policy.

Ancient and Modern Friend
ship.

The world has for years admired the
friendship of Damon and Pythias.
When Damon was condemned to death
10y the tyrant Dionysius, Pythias took
for Damon's return that he might visit
his wife and child, who were leagues
away, ere death snatched him from
them forever. When Damon set out to
return, he found Lucullus, his servant,
had slain his masters horse to save his
life. The hour having arrived for the
execution, Pythias took his place on
the scattold, eXclaiming, 1" It's sweet to
die for those we love" At the last
moment, after being bcset by countless
difficulties, Damon arrived in time to
stay the execution. Dionysius was so
charmed with this instance of dsinter-
ested friendship that he released the
friends. Upon this is founded the order
of knights of Pylhias, the third secret
society of the world. The reader will
also recall the friendship which existed
between David and Jonathan.
Not less striking is a case that has
just come to light in Kentucky, show
ing that one need not go back to an
cient days for proofs of generosity and
chivalry. In l5SO james :. Sizemore
was sent to the penitentiary for six
Years, charged with murder, he making
no defence. His brother, a man with a
large family, being the real criminal,
Sizemore voluntarily took the odium
and penalty on himself for the sake of
his brother and his family. His broth
er, when dying, recently, made dec
laration of his guilt, and gave such I'M
mistakable proof of the truth of his
confession that Governor Blackburn on
Thursday issued Il pardon to the mod
ern Pythias.

corporation" Now, after the lapse of
ten years, the Massachusetts legislature
has passed a resolution recognizing the
ability, service and integrity of Cakes
Ames, and asking a like recognition
from the national Congress. He is the
father of Oliver Ames, the present lieu
tenant-governOr of Massachusetts, who
has labOred with true tilial devotion to
have this stain upon his fathers fame
removed, and the passage of this reso-
luton is doubtless largely due to his
influence. Either Congress was wrong
then or the legislature of Massachusetts
is wrong now; and whatever may be
thought of the value to the country of
the Pacific railroad, the consummation
of which was mainly owing to the
labors of Cakes Ames, no one appears
to deny that shares of the stock of the
road found their way into the pockets
of congressman supposed to have little
money to invest in such a hazardous
enterprise. In effect, the resolution
says: The Pacific railroad is a success
and benefit to the country. Hence
Cakes Ames, although it is not denied
that he bribed Legislators to vote for
the scheme, is a patriot. As conveying
the impression that corruption, when
successful, is subject for admiration,
the passage of the resolution is to be
deplored.
