my son, when you hear man growl-

twenty-four hours, the majority OF
the senate may stop debate on any
question by a direct vote on that
question, and thus prevent the minor.

Every deliberative body ought tc
have some rule by which it can re-

The senate of the United States has
hitherto had no such rule.

RAILROAD RUMORS.

The official notice of Wizards re-
tirement was accompanied by a
statement that q syndicate had been
formed to take part of the bonds now
owned by the Oregon and Transcon-
tlnental company, amounting to
S9,00O,0OO or S1O,O00,0O0. This will
relieve the company of a. larger part
OF its debt so burdensome, and VIII
enable it to resume a sound financial
position. The report of the condi-
tDn OF the company viii be made rs
soon as the committee appointed by
the board are able to make the proper
investigation, which viii necessarily
occupy several days: but it was posi-
lively stated that the report viii show
in hand aggregate stock fully amount
ing to the amount held at the time of
the report in June last.
The New York Telegram says
Although nothing official is known,
it is understood that an effort is max
ing to dispose of Willard, and that he
retires from the Northern Pacific
company in January, to be succeeded
by Frederick Billings, with Oakes as
vice president and general manager.
Vice President Oakes o. the North.
ern Pacific Railroad company has
telegraphed the following statement
of the operations OF the company for
October: Gross earnings, $780,
221; operating expenses, S6l4,5S6i
rentals and taxes, S53,111; surplus,
S729,52L The gross earnings for No
vember are estimated at S1,253.200;
operating expenses, S557.7OO: surplus,
S65O,OOO.
As soon as it became known that
Willard had retired from the presi-
dency of the o. & Z. and o. r. & y.
companies, q reporter called at the
Mills building, but Willard refused TO
be interviewed. He gave out through
his secretary, however, an explana-
tory statement, that, impressed with
the conviction that it would not be
proper for him to continue as presi-
dent of all the companies whose man
agement he had heretofore directed
after completion of the Northern Pa.
cific railroad as a transcontinental
line, he some weeks since urgently
pressed Endicott to accept the presi-
dency of the Oregon and Transconti-
mental company.

The details OF his resignation
arouses still further surprise. 1t was
thought in several quarters that when
he did resign it would be the o. & T.
and n. p. r. r. presidencies that he
would relinquish, retaining the o. r
a ", which is to-day, financially, the
best OF the lot. The effect of this
this change is not apparent On the
surface IL would seem an abandon
ment OF his interests in Oregon and a
transfer to Puget Sound The o. r.
& n. is partly an Oregon company.
The financial combination known as
the Oregon & Transcontinental has
its interests identified thoroughly
with this state, while with the North
ern Pacific, Oregon is simply one In
terest among many, the main interests
lying, as far as the northwest is con.
cerned, at Puget Sound.

RAILROAD PREsIDENCIEs.

The resignation OF Willard from
the presidency OF the Oregon Trans
continental and O. Il. & X. companies
causes 4 sensation throughout the
Northwest. The cause is stated to be
that he became impressed with con-
viction that it would not be proper
for him TO continue as president OF
all the companies whose management
he has heretofore directed, after the
completion of the Northern Pacific,
which is plausible enough. There
has been considerable complaint in
certain quarters that Willard has been
using his position as q railroad presi-
dent wholly as a means Of furtherine
his fortunes OF late, and that his
chief reason for holding the presi.
dency for the last three months was
the opportunity it afforded him OF
gaining information to be used TO the
best advantage From the fact that
the stocks were rapidly going down,
which movement was changed to an
advance upon the announcement OF
his resignation, is sufficient evidence
that there was a loud call somewhere
for the action that he took in step.

IT may be interesting to note, as an

war, that the total ascertained ex-
penditure OF France upon the war on
which she entered with light heart
In August, 1870, is now declared to
be S1,705, 10000. AS the war began
In August and ended in January,

the Rev. DR.. Buckley told him of
having met In an asylum two
beautiful and accomplished women,
who were teachers in the institn-

among men with full faculties, and
yet they had chosen husbands
who never had and never could

proved so agreeable that u young
heiress of the neighborhood was
betrothed to a third pupil. DR..
Buckley had convinced himself
that sympathy in these instances
begot love. The Rev. DIR. Newman
was in the party, and my friend
quotes him as dissenting from that
theory and saying, "A woman in

often find his counterpart in reality.
