CURRENT LITERATURE.
"Bancroft's History Ofthc North
west Coast"

'-Bancroft's History ofthe North
west Coast"
The 23rd volume of Baocroft'.
History of the Pacific States ha:
just been issued and is doubly in
teresting as it brings us down to F.:
period of time within the recollec
ton of many persons yet living
1t begins with 1900 and closes with
1916. It devotes most Of the vol
ume to the settlement Of Oregon
and the Northwest, and gives a
complete history Of the conquest
of the Hudson's Bay & North
West Company, and the dominion
they acquired over the fish, and fur
bearing animals of that region.
Mr.. Bancroft has much praise to
bestow upon the Hudson Bay Com
pany, but he has not turned aside
to distort history for them, and af-
ter perusing his authorities no one
| will claim that his admiration was
not honestly bestowed, and as hon
estly deserved. The central figure
Of his story is Dr. Mclaughlin, af-
forwards Sir James Douglass, whose
personal influence over the savage
elements of the country, and his
great work of civilization entities
him to no inconspicuous place in
history.
The peaceful methods by which
Mclaughlin subjugated the coun-
try commercially is in many in
stances as interesting as the bloody
recital of the Spanish conquest in
Mexico.
There is full and interesting de-
scriptions of the Lewis and Clarke
expedition, of Astor's great enter
prise, of Wyleth's unfortunate
speculation, OF the Wilkes e1pedl-
ten, and what may be said to be
the clearest and most satisfactory
analysis extant in history Of the
great Oregon question which cul-
minated in the American posses
sion.
The next volume will open with
the discovery Of gold in California,
the stirring events of 40 and 80
and the rush and riot Of early Cal
ifornia days.
We imagine that good many
Californians will hardly rest in peace
as they count the days which must
elapse before that volume makes
its appearance.

THE MONOPOLISTS' FRIEND
A Pledge Which Cleveland Gave
to Insure His Election.

CHICAGO, November 19.-The
Evening Journals Springfield I'll.
special says: A gentleman promi-
nent in the political history of Ill
inois during a number of years past
informed your correspondent today
that he has secently seen a copy of
letter issued from New York in
the interest of the Democratic
party, dated November 1st, which
says that Grover Cleveland has
given a pledge that no legislation
shall succeed in Congress which
may be hostile to the railroad in
terests, if he (Cleveland) should be
elected President. 1t is stated
that the question of his having
signed such a paper has been care
fully examined, and it was found to
be a fact that he had actually
signed and his pledge is considered
reliable and trustworthy. The let
ter, therefore, urged voters to sup
port him. Its had also an adden-
dunn dated November 18th, call
ing attention to the fact that an
effort was being made by the Re
publicans to defeat Cleveland s
election; that counsel had been en-
ployed to prevent this, at great
cost, and asking that contributions
be forwarded to meet the eXpences
necessarily incurred. 1t appears
from this information that the dc
nations of some of the mony kings
were not made without assurance
of some recompense. A verbatim
copy Of this interesting document
is promised the Journal correspop-
dent in few days, when the de-
tails will be given to the public.

VIII It Two Committeeman, of Opposite
Parties, Think About MajOrities.
Col. George W. Hooker, says Mondays
New York Times, of the National Re
publican Committee, met Col. Charles W.
McCune. the member of the Democratic
State Committee. representing Buffalo,
in the Hoffman House, last night. Col.
McCune was born in marlborough, VT,
and when Col. Hooker talked confidently
of Vermont giving Blaine $1,000 ma
iOrity, Col. McCune promptly replied:
s'Pll bet you 500 that he does not get
$4,000 majority" The two gentlemen
gave their checks to the clerk and turned
away.
Something was said about the State of
New York, whereupOn Col. McCune, with
characteristic promptness, declared
sErie county will give Cleveland $500
majority, Notwithstanding anything TO
the contrary that may be said by Mr..
James D. Warren, Chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee. See here,
Hooker. I'll bet you 81 900 that Cleveland
carries the State of New York" The
Vermont Colonel studied the magnificent
frescoes of the lobby for full moment,
then gave a infinitely observing glance at
the New York ColOnePs face. He was
satisfied that it was his plain duty, and
he said he would take the bet. Again
they stepped up to the desk and deposited
their checks. "See here. Hooker, you've
forgotten to sign this" exclaimed the
New York Colonel. The Vermont Colonel
Strengthened up and, after satisfying him
self that that was the fact, proceeded to
remedy the trifing error. The two Col
Onels shook hands after having SAID now

A Michigan Discovery.

A big Rapids dispatch to the Detroit
Post saws: A somewhat curious and in
teresting discovery has just been made on
the farm of B. c. Hemphill, few miles
north of this city. 1t appears that Mr.
Hemphill had long ago noticed singular
looking mound of earth, about two feet
high, in the woods on his farm, but as the
roots of a fallen tree often turn up the
earth in a singular manner, and as pine
stump about two feet across stood almost
directly over it, it attracted but little at
tention. A few days ago, however, it was
noticed that a woOdchuck had burrowed
into the mound and was engaged in bring
ing out human piecs Of bones; therefore a
few ofthe neighbors assembled and opened
the sepulchre, which revealed partly de-
caYed bones of from six TO eight full-siZed
human beings. Upon some estimates be-
ing made, one or two of them were
supposed to have been at least seven
feet in height. In the vicinity of the
bones were pieces of broken pottery, evil
IDENTIFY formed to hold liquids, and after
ward burned in fire. Red oak bark had
also been laid over the remains, and the
parties removed pieces several inches
square and in fine state of preservation.
The bodies had been laid on the surface
of the earth and the mound formed over
them. A trench had also been dug around
the mound, apparently to carry OFT the
water. OF course it must remain mat
ter of conjecture as to the length Of time
the bodies have been inferred, and also
whether they were white people or In
dians. No spring or running water is
within long distance of the mound, and
the place selected was a very dry one.
One thigh bone was said to be nearly en-
tire, but nearly al, including the skulls,
were in pieces. From all the evidence in
the case it is quite probable that one or
two centuries have passed away since the
death of these individuals.

A gentleman, native of New England,
but resident of the South for several
years past. has just returned from trip
to his old home. He is very enthusiastic
respecting Cleyeland's prospects IN Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire. He says
that il is estimated that st. John, the Pro-
hibition candidate, will take more votes
from the Republican candidate than Butler
will from the Democratic candidate, and
that the anti-Blaine Republicans in the
Old Bay state are confident Of a victory
for Cleveland. In New Hampshire the But
Ter following is insignificant, and that of
st. John considerable. The prospect Is that
there will be a Democratic success there.
MANY Republicans throughout the New
England States, who are quiet men and
supposed to be true to the party, viii vote
for Cleveland.
Democrats and Independent Re-
publicans in New York claim that
State safe for Cleveland by
sc, 900 majority, and are willing to back
up their opinion with any amount Of
money. The New England gentleman
already quoted SAYS he never witnessed
such enthusiasm in the ranks OF the
opponents of the Republican party.
Every day, he says, strengthens CleYe-
lands chances. He says that Northern
Republicans boast that they will carry
four or five Southern States. He was
willing to give large odds that they would
not carry a single Southern State. he
only found one man to take a bet on his
farms

Commissioner Dudley's Resignation.

commissioner Duuttl ANC-i@
It's question whether the resignation
OF Commissioner Of Pensions Dudley is
genuine. Why did he fix the date on
which the resignation is 70 take effect al
Nov. 10: He does not intend to perform
the duties Of his office between the pres
ent time and the election. He is going, If
he has not already gone, TO Ohio to engage
in campaign work, and after the October
election in that state he will go TO his
native state, Indiana.
Is il the salary that he wants and which
hedoes not expect TO earn? The truthprob-
ably is that Ar. Dudley does not intend to
leave the Pension Office unless Blaine is
elected. and in that event he has a prom
ise. doubtless, of a better Office. He will
know before Nov. 10 whether the
Republicans are defeated or not, and
il they are il is about certain that he will
withdraw his resignation and resume his
place as the head Of the Pension Bureau.
It looks as if his resignation were nothing
more than an effort TO avoid criticism. he
don't want to have it said that he has
abandoned his duties. for the performance
OF which he receives a big salary, 10 give
his time 10 party work. 1t
would have been much more
creditable TO him, however, if
he had boldly announced that nOtwith-
standing the fact that his services be-
longed to the government, he intended to
devote a couple Of months Of his time to
helping his party retain control Of the
government.
The situation is probably that Dudley,
who is poor man, couldn't do without
his salary. and his party thought 1t
couldn't get along very well without his
services. 50 the plan Of pretending to re-
sign was adopted to deceive the country
with respect TO Dudley's intention.
As a matter of fact, Dudley is one Of
the ablest political managers in the cOun-
try. He is bold, aggressive and full OF
expedients. He is very amiable man,
and in all business matters which relate
wholly 10 his own affairs is strictly hon
est. but in politics he is not Oyerscrupu-
Ions. Success is the end he aims at
without regard to the means necessary
70 win il. No man had more to do with
carving Indiana in 1850, and every body
knows the means by which that State was
carried at that time.
Dudley is not the only prominent official
of the government who has deserted his
post at his party's bidding. There are
dozens OF them. and the business OF the
government is suffering on account Of
their absence. Every clerk who can
make a stump speech, or who is known to
be a good political worker, has been given
a vacation with full pay with the under
standing that he shall devote himself
earnestly TO party work. When the civil
service law is amended it ought to pro-
vide that government employees shall not
abandon their duties to do campaign

The preparations for the advance OF the
English expedition for the relief o. khar-
tOum are being made with as much rapid
~ as possible. 1t was considered impOs-
sIble for European troops to endure an
active campaign in Southern Egypt and
the SOudan during the summer, hence all
these months rOthing has been done Of
consequence except TO give the rebels a
little cEastisement on the coast Of the Red
Sea By way Ofinspirlng them with whole
some fear of British guns, and to plan for
the active work expected &c be done during
the fall and winter. In the meantime
General Gordon appears to have been
extremely fortunate in being able to hold
khartOum and TO supply his native forces
with a suficiency OF food.
Il Is thought that the route selected by
the English Cup the river Nile is the only
practical one open. or at least not fully
closed. % the expedition. From the base
Of operations, AssOuan, il is LOO miles
bv the river to khartOum, and the nayi-
CATION Is obstructed by seven cataracts,
besides numerous rapids. The use Of
large boats is impracticable during the
fall and winter. and the difficulty OF pro-
viding hundreds Of small boats sufficient
TO transport an army Of 10000 with its
supplies and war material may be mag
ined BY those who have any knowledge Of
such matters.
Il is hardly possible for Lord WOlseley
TO begin his advance in earnest before
Nov. /. and the natural difficulties in his
-. hn zh
no powerful enemy in his route his forces
could hardly reach khartOum before next
March.
The adberents OF FL Mahdi are known
to he at several points on the river be-
tween Assouan and KhartOum, and no
doubt they can concentrate in sufficient
numbers 10 seriously Obstruct the English
advance, and unless their power has been
very much exaggerated, il skilIfnlly led,
they might easily defeat the expedition,
or prevent It's ascending the river. II it
is true. however, that Gordon has gained
important victories over the rebels, he
maybe able TO create diversion from the
south formidable enough TO materially
weaken the Mahdi's forces on the Nile
1t will be Necessary for the relief expe-
dition TO advance with all possible speed,
for if its object is not accomplished before
next summer the campaign will have
been in vain, and Lord WOlseley viii be
forced 70 beat a hasty retreat down the
river.
The most important questions are, what
reliable force has Gordon still at his COM
maad with which to oppose his enemies,
what resources has he against famine, and
how long can he hold out.
Gordon has done more than some Of the
best military critics expected him TO do,
but he has failed thus far in his great OBJ
iect-the evacuation of the SOudan by the
Egyptians. Whether the recent victories
be is said to have gained viii enable him
70 accomplish that object remains TO be
seen.
Mr.. Blaine wouldn't thank anybody for
