The Portland Telegram affirms that
it is an error to suppose that the
present season is the smokiest and
dryest, We have experienced. The
fact is that in the Summer of 1868
the sun during the greater part Of
September was almost entirely OBJ
scursd even at mid day, the sky pre-
senting q coppery appearance from
horizon to zenith several hours each
day. The light was so obscure that
for some days succeeding the Goth of
September schools, which had gen.
orally been taken up for the fall
term, were compelled to close at
2 o'clock P. M. on account of the in
sufficient light, and chickens, de-
luded into the belief that twilight
had come, went to roost. Rain fell
early in October, quenching the for
est fires and clearing the atmosphere;
and the discomforts of the season
vanished from memory. just as those
of this season will after a time.

WHILE the whole country is inter-
ested in Democratic talk of the old
ticket of 1876, the Oakland Tunes
says no one speaks Up for renewal
of the Republican ticket of that year !!
Hayes and Wheeler are in their ply
steal prime, why not nominate them ?
If they got Office fairly and admins
tered it honestly why not run them
again? Until the Republican party
does run them, it confesses that they
were not elected before. Its only
historic vindication would be in re-
electing them. Let it be tried.

TIE bills of the doctors who at
tended President Garfield, are only
equaled by the amounts actually paid
the prosecutors of the Star-route
thieves. Bliss and Myrick received
$50 per day and Ker 500 per day
for tenn of fourteen months. The
expenses of the trial amounted to
over 81, 400, coo, or more than half
the money stolen by Dorsey & Co.,
without either recovering q cent or
afording an example Of retributive

Presidential SpecIlations.

The ". y. Iribunc figures ont rs
own State as the battle around IN
the next Presidential campaign. The
South will have 1872 votes. There Is
not much doubt but that these 132
votes will be cast for the Democratic
nominee tor the Presidency. The
total number of electoral votes under
the new apor;ionment Is 4Ol. vi
these, POI are necessary to cholce
for President. The fourteen votes
of the three Pacific States, with
those of New York and the South,
would elect the next Precedent by
two minority. If the Democrats
could get Indiana OF Ohio, with New
York, they would also win the fight
in 1884.
The calculations for the Republi-
cans are quite different. Ii the Pa
cifc States be eliminated, the total
lumber of Northern votes will be
236. If the Republicans should
carry the entire North except New
York ana the Pacific States, they
would fall one vote short OF success.
If they should carry all the North
except New York, Nevada and Ore
CON, it would give them the victory.
They can lose New York and New
Jersey ami win with the aid Of the
Pacific States. 1t is, therefore, quite
evident that the battle will be as hot
on this coast as in New York or any
of the Northern States. The Repub.
licans have lost favor on the Pacific
Coast by their course on the Chinese
question. The political peridy
which that episode disclosed is quite
appalling, but it may be modified by
the acts of the next Congress, or in
the course which the National Con
ventions may determine to pursue
The Pacific States, it seems to US, is
quite a. likely to hold the balance o.
power in 1884 as is New York.

A MASTER OF THE SITUATION.-PeO-
ple would not wonder at the result
of the Star-route trails, if they could
only see behind the machinery which
actuates the Administration, and as
certain the motive power by which it
is kept in motion. It is known by a
few at Washington that S. w. Dor
sey, the Star-router, is the possessor
Of secret that will keep the peniten-
tiary door from ever swinging open
to receive him. In 1875, when
Conant was Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, a stea. was perpetrated
upon the Government which for orig
inality and boldness was unequalled
in the history Of roguery. In Sep
TENDER Of that year, at the sugges-
ton of Dorsey, $3.50, 900 in currency
which had been sent by the national
banks of the country for redemption
was in fact not destroyed, but was
used for election purposes by the Zach
Chandler committee in New York.
OF course the banks were promptly
furnished with new currency, but the
old notes did not go to the " Inacer-
ator" for destruction, as the law re-
quires, but were illegally used to
defeat Tilden for the Presidency.
This charge has more than once
been formulated in the New York
Sun, but no one has ever dared to
deny it, and it keeps the party lead.

in dealing with the prime-mover in

The Last Spike.

It has Ieen arranged, as is report
eI by the Portland S'u"inr}, - tlaat
tie driving OF the last SliAo on The
Northern Pacific Railroad shall DC
heard in New York, Boston, Phila-
dolphin, Washington and Portland,
bv means OF The tlectiic wire. Why
Seattle the metropolis, New Ia
coma "the terminus, and Oi,m ma
"the Capital CITY," have been lett
out of the circuit, It is Impossible to
conjecture, unless indeed the rivalry
of Portland has suppressed some OF
the facts relating to the notable
event.
Mr.. Willard, it is said, will swing
tie hammer, and give Just Il neteen
strokes aiiJ IA hight tap, one for each
100 miles of the route, which is l.
$50 i'll length. The spike is to be Of
gold, and after it is driven will be
hauled o"t and kept by Mr.. V. as u
SOUVENIR. Tue hammer is OF silver,
and We suggest that it be made into
breastpins 50 that common people
may Ink. wise possess souvenirs. The
supply when IL falls short, may be
replenished from the same source
that has furnished hickory for Jack
son canes OF the holy wood fiom tie
True Cross.
The ceremony, 1t seems to the VIII
ter, is based upon fiction winch
should never be allowed to enter
into the everyday business operations
Of the company. 1t looks as if here
was considerable nonsense connected
with driving "last spike" GU sec
items of road which have been prac-
ticaliy united and over which trains
have passed a fortnight before the
silver hammer is brought forth.
Ard then the query will obtrude,
Does not the withdrawal of the arts.
tocratic spike from amid his plebe
ian fellows, divesI i: Of the distinc.
ton Of being The last in the grand suc-
cesslou? Is not the spike which af.
forwards fills the hole made by The
golden track fastener the veritable
last spike? Aud is it not proper,
III the eternal fitness of things, that
the lost honors should revert when
the process of practical evolution has
resulted in product too good fol
work?
There really does not seem to
be enough consistency IN the pro.
position to hold it together, or to
warrant the Sensation it produces.
The last spike, completing the north
ern trans-continental route, will pro-
badly be driven by some Chinamar
between Tacoma and Seattle, aud as
one of the lesser details of the histo.
ry of the road, possesses more inter
est than can possibly attach to the
golden ingot driven on the plains.
