WHILE the Democrat was pick
ing out quotations from the Nation
al platform of '76 to pin to it's mast
head, it is strange that it omitted
the clause which demanded the
repeal of the resumption act and
pronounced said law hindrance to
a return to specie payment. That
clause is just about as live and SEN
Sible as the one selected.

From Rev. A. II. GOOdIOe.

DEAR CHRONICLE:-I see in re-
cent number of the Nashville Ban
ner an account of the closing eXer-
cises of the McTyeire Institute, To-
Gated at Mckenzie, Tenn, which is
very gratifying to this correspon-
dent in as much as the Senior Prin-
cipal is "tlesh of his flesh and bone
of his bone" Among other things
it is said: "There is no sham work
done at McTyeire Institute. Messrs
GoOdlOe and Williams probe to the
bottom and lay the best foundation
for thorough education. This ill.,
stitution is decidedly the best youths
training school in West Tennessee.
1t is growing in popular favor
abroad. There were enrolled this
session upwards of 40 pupils, and
the prospects for the furture are
bright"
This school, unlike Emory and
Henry College, so called. with its
12S pupils, bestows no compliment
tary degrees upon any one. So with
Webb's School at Culleoka with its
100 pupils ; it be5tows honOrs only
upon those who win them under
their training. So, it seems 10 me,
it ought to be in every institution
of learning. A member of the
Memphis Conference has recently
received the degree of Doctor Of Dj-
entity from a little college" at
TullahOma, which has about 100
pupils-mOstly local patronage. 1t
has come to be II saying among
schOOl-men that when ID. DIS. l..
DIS, l.. l.. DIS, &c. begin to flow
out from the so called collegse, that
they are in a dying condition, and
so in need of quick help and much
of it. Let them all do honest work
and they will live, otherwise they
ought to die.

AN average society girl" who

THE Union City Anchor needs
the attention of those able young
editors on First street. That Jour
nal has the temerity, in the face of
all that the Democrat has recently
said on the subject, to venture the
opinion that one country editor out
ola dozen don't know anything
about the tariff, and actually says
the discussion of the subject by the
country press sis amusing" Can
il be possible that the Anchor man
has read the Democrat without dis
covering its editors wonderful abil-
ity to discuss the tariff?

Dan Voorhees, on the Tariff

Senator Dan voorhees,, of Indi.
ana, was recently interviewed by a
Cincinnati Enquirer Correspondent
and expressed himself very fully
and freely on the tariff question.
We give below the substance of the
interview.
In the course of talk about the
part that Indiana will play in the
next campaign the Senator repeat
ed his declaration with regard to
the tariff plank, and said he didn't
believe the Democrats would under
take anything of the kind again.
ave will be all right in Indiana, +"
he said, tsif the national platform is
drawn with care and good sense, as
/ believe:it will be. The declara-
ton upoH the tariff ought to be in
plain .latfguage, and ought to ex
press fairly the sentiment of the
Democratic Voters, not of theorists.
A tariff '+fef revenue only" is an
impOssibility. Any tariff that is
laid must protect to some extent.
If men want TO advocate free trade,
let them do it; but no one ought to
be allowed to commit the Demo-
cratic party to that theory, for the
party voters won't subscribe to it.
The tariff operates as a tax. Free
trade would do away with the GUS
tom-hOuse5, abolish the duties on
imports and levy direct tax on
the people for the support OF the
Government. In other words, it
would increase general taxes $780,
100000 a year, and people would
have less to pay taxes with than
they have now, for labor would be
cheapened and industry discour-
aged. The people of Indiana won't
help to bring about any such re-
suit. Taxes are already quite heavy
enough and are well adjusted.
There are not less than $4,000
manufacturing establishments in
this State, employing at least To-
600 hands, nearly all voters. If
anyone supposses that any of these
people, or the farmers who suppIv
them food, or the tradesmen of
whom they buy, will support a
movement designed to strike at a
system under which they are mole
or less dependent, especially when
they know that change to free
trade would impose direct taxation
as well as cheaper labor and ham
per industry say if anyone sup
poses this he will find himself much
mistaken. There is no one i'm this
State who believes in such a change.
Talk of what Mr.. Mcdonald or Mr..
Hendricks may believe, other than
what / have said, is without SUBJ
stantial warrant. President-making
is no concern of mine. My ambi-
ton is within and for Indiana. But
when it is charged that the leaders
here are of different minds regard
ing the great issues effecting the in
dustIies and prosperity of the State,
L know better. The relations of
Mr.. Mcdonald, Mr.. Hendricks and
myself are. cordial, politically as well
as personally. The tariff plank in

IL reference to offers made rel
ative TO the Astoria land grant
The AsToRIAN makes the follow
ing statement: Last December a
proposition was made to Willard
and his associates by responsible
parties, in which we are informed
was embodied a proposition to
build the road from Astoria to
Forest Grove, 10 begin at once
and grade and lay track from this
point, and at the end of a specified
time after the completion Of The
road, turn it over to the corpora
tion that Mr.. Willard represents;
he for that corporation at the time
surrendering ali claim 80 the grant
commonly known as the Astoria
land grant. The receipt of this
letter was acknowledged by Mr.
Willard, but as usual the policy OF
delay prevailed, and it is now i'm
probable, that that plan would be
proffered even if Mr.. Willard were
willing to accept it. This
is synopsis Of the case and is ca
pable of abundant proof. For OBJ
vious reasons the above need not
at present be amplifed.

BE Patient, Good People.

The accumulation Of literature
concerning the Astoria railroad is
further enriched by a letter from
Mr.. R. Koehler, in which that gen
tleman says:
Returning from a trip to southern
Oregon, my attention was called
TO an article in TIE Oregoniafa OF
July 81, headed Astoria" con-
tanning among other thing criti-
cism of the company's action in
relation to the survey Of the As
toria-F Forest Grove line, now in
progress. The article says: "But
the people Of Astoria feel that the
work of surveying IS unreasonably
and purposely DELAYED, and that
Mr.. Willard is not doing what is
right in the spirit of his promise" !"
| claim that the writer Of that ar
ticle has no good reasons for arriv-
ing at conclusions as above ex-
pressed. ! desire to state dis
tinctly that the instructions given
by Mr.. Fillard-and given prior
to his arrival at Portland in April
last-wcre to start at once and
complete as rapidly as possible the
survey above referred to. When
he afterwards, at Portland, stated
to the delegation OF citizens Of As
toria that the result could be OBJ
tanned and a decision made in
about sixty or seventy days. he
did so on the strength of the infor-
nation given by me, l then
having good reason 70 believe
that the work could be
done within such a period. II
would lead TO far too enumerate all
the causes which made it imp0ssi-
bic to complete the work required
within the time | had promised,
but the statement here made will,
! trust, exclude for the future any
charge of intentional delay. The
character of the country through
which the survey is made is wei
known to the people Of Astoria,
and no necessity exists, / believe.
to point out the difficulties which
prevented a rapid progress. /
will, however, point out that our
engineers are not merely walking
over the ground. but are charged
TO furnish full and complete in
formation, such as is required for
reliable estimate.
One rises from the perusal of
the above with an abiding regret
that the forces of the company
which Mr.. Koehier so ably repre-
Sents are inadequate to accomplish
definite results. The action Of the
company is but a portion of the
policy of persistent delay Of which
Astorians justly complain. IN
comment the Orego5,ioJ, says that
the people OF Astoria should ox2r-
else patience" The grant was
made in 1870; it was forfeited in
1876; this is 1883. The ore
gOnio5s advises patience.

and rumOr has it that NJ. E. Ingalls, is to tender

been for conference with c. P. Huntington,
who holds majority of the stock of the Ken
lucky Central road. Report has il that Mr..
Huntington is not satisfied with the manage
ment of the road; that il is not earning money
enough. II this be true, Mr.. Huntington must
nave changed his mind of late,
as at the last annual meeting Mr..
1nFalls was quite determined to resign, but was
so earnestly urged'by Mr.. Huntington and other
parties Interested IN the property to continue as
president of the company, that he reluctantly
yielded to their wishes. That Mr.. ingalls, was
disappointed that the Chesapeake & Ohio was ig-
norlng practically the O., l., St. L. 81 q. in it's Chi

The bottom is knocked from under the bonds

are manufacturing excuses for the weakness One
is that the price affected by the advertise

ito sell at the auction rooms to-day, the 22d, so
much of the $1S00.000 (par value) of the Frank

the st. Louis division, extending southwest
from Frankfort seventy miles to the Illinois

pledged the stock, and the bills not being fully
paid the stock is advertised for sale. The pro-
ceeding has an ugly look, but is hardly as Sc

possible that the receiver will settle the affair
before the sale occurs Another adverse item is

which obstructs rather than facilitates the dis

OF the postal clerks, before leaving their cars at
the termini of routes, to prepare the sacks and
pouches for the next trip, and they have thus
been able, on receiving the mails, to begin at
once their distribution. The new order requires
them to clear their cars at the end of every trip
and send sacks and pouches to the terminal post.
