earnest. They mean to organize fol
the campaign and poll every vot'
they can for st. John and Daniels
They do not propose to run . sid'
show for the benefit Of anybody, mol
yet to put money into their own
pockets by making q deal. 1t IL well
that it should be thus. II . princi.
pie is worth having, it IL worth de-
Tending, and the ballot Is the most
effective defence in tho power Of q
free people. Still in the interest Of
fair play the Herald thinks that
either Mr.. Blaine or st. John should
withdraw from the canvass. They
both represent the same idea and
might as well their support too. Nj.
st. John Is . republican ~
ever Mr.. Blaine ever was.
He is, perhaps, as much of a dema-
gogue, and If anything, less Of q
know-nothing. As to honesty, we
are not aware that MI. st. John ever
wrote any Mulligan letters or traded
his influence for railroad stock 80
that in case of q consolidation he
would be the stronger candidate, and
of the two, should remain on the
track.
It will be objected to this PROPOSE
ton that Governor st. John being
opposed to the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating beverages, could not
receive the support of the Germans
or other people opposed to sumptu-
airy laws. Probably not. But here
is the irrepressitle temperance fanatic
Neal Dow, with . letter to the editor
of . prohibition paper in New Jer-
sey, vouching for the genuineness of
Mr.. Blaine's principles on the same
subject. Says Dow:
I'm answer to your inquiry I say
Il have had many letters from diff
ferent parts of the country making
inquiries about Mr.. Blaine. My re-
ply has been that he has always been
friend of the Maine law and has
many times rendered important ser
vice to II. He is IN favor of tho pro-
posed constitutional amendment and
will vote for it. He is also q teetotal-
Ter and has been tor several years.
What, then, is the difference be-
tween st. John and Blaine? One
holds precisely the same opinion in
regard to the liquor question that
he other does. Either would ap-
prove of an amendment to the con-
'titution forbidding the manufacture
md sale Of intoxicating liquor.
Blaine IL q teetotaller as much as st.
(ohn Is, and as much in favor Of
compelling every other man to be .
So, far, then ~ the Ger
nan and other liberal vote is con-
it is q choice between the
levil and the deep sea. st. John lie

outspoken in his sentiment,

believers In the efficacy Of prohi-
while MI. Blaine is deceitful
md is playing . tw0-faced part for
he sake of catching votes on both
ides Of the fence, with the probable
~ of losing both. OF the two pro-
libition Republican candidates we

Tammany Hall will wheel into

That settles Blaine in New York.
It is stated tat Ben Butler pro-
poses to take West, candidate for

which he (Butlsr) is running, and

done to incur Buffers enmity?
It would not be well to have in. the
Presidential chair q man whose
views in respect OF signing or vetolng

fuenced by the "various channels"
in which he thought he could find
himself useful. Stick a pin here.

count of the "liberal pension meas

from time to time. Yet Senator
Sherman opposed one of these liberal

cause it was too outrageously liberal.
General Hazen ought to resign.
When An official gets q notion into
his head that the whole country has
entered into a conspiracy to injure
him, his public usefulness, if he ever
had any ceases. General Hazen is
now possessed of such a notion, and
the sooner he steps down and out
the better it will be for the signal
service.
Senator Edmunds lives in the city
of Burlington, in Vermont, which
for the first time in many years has
given q Democratic majority. Mr..
Edmunds is severely criticised on
this account by some of the Republic
can organs. He is evidently q very
bad man. This campaign may have
. very great many surprises before it
closes.
According TO the New York Times,
MI. Conkling's friends are very
anxious to secure his return to the
Senate when Mr.. Lapham's term
expires. If the Republicans secure
the control of the next Legislature,
which is not likely, they could not
do themselves greater honor. New
York has had many great Senators,
but none greater than MI. Conklinp.
Throughout q long career as q Sena-
Tor, he not only honored the State
BY his ability, but he reflected credit

Questioned integrity. Such men are

Ed. Spokane Falls REVIEW.
Trout Creek, as near as can be asccr-
tanned, is about IS miles from the CRur
d'Alene mines, and people go from here
to Eagle City i'm one day across the trail,
but when incumbcred by load. say $50
pounds, the trip will require five days at
the very least. Men pack from here to
the mines. Some pack on their backs,
others on long, narrow sleighs, and some
with digs, in fact in every way you can
imagine. But when a thaw comes on the
tTdfffrom here to the mines will be i'm
passable. The snow here is about three
feet deep and on thcsumit it is twelve feet
deep. The trail from here is up mour-
tains and very Siding and rocky, and Il
will he impossible to get over it as soon
as the snow commences to melt.
Trout Creek is q very quiet camp.
There are about 300 or 400 men here, and
saloons until you can't rest, but very lit
tie business.
There was a shooting scraPe at Eagle
City on the 3rd, but could not ascertain
tho names Of the parties concerned. Tho
trouble grew out Of the ownership Of II
town lot. Everybody seems to think that
there will be plenty Of lead flying in Eagle
City in the spring.

THERE is an obscure publication
at Missoula that we believe is very
anxious to get its name before the
public by a few notices from the
press Of the surrounding country,
the name Ofwhich escapes us at the
present time. 1t sees fit to stamp as
false hoods the statements recently
made in the REVIEW regarding the
Troute creek trail. If the bilious
writer, who imagines he knows it
all, will refer to a correspondence in
another column of this issue from a
party on the ground, whose interests
are at Trout Creek, he will find few
unadulterated truths that prove the
correctness Of the statements we
have heretofore made. The fact that
the same paper is attempting to
"bOOm" the new Belknap route is
convincing evidence that its faith is
sadly shaken in the Trout Creek
trail, and Is willing to desert it un-
der the first pretext. Parties going
into the mines will readily learn the
most practicable routes to travel, and
in that choice we have no fears
whatever that the road from SpO-
kane Falls will be neglected.

THE Cheney Tribune man does the
baby act handsomely in his reply to
our article of last week, but makes
no denials. The most cruel charge
in the screed is that we are paid to
write up Spokane Falls. As we have
put in from twelve to eighteen hours
work per day ever since coming
here, and have to scratch to pay off
Saturday nights, and do not love
hard work for the fun of it, the pay
we are working for is terrible small,
so small indeed that we never see
even all we earn. Our space and
fine prevents us from answering at
length.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Congressional Agitation on this SUBJ
icct--.ScnatOr HIPS Speech.

a Washington dispatch says: Consider
able interest has been shown this winter by
members of both branches of Congress III
regard to the establishment of a postal tele-
graph system in the United States, and sew
eral bills providing for such systems have al
ready been introduced in the Senate and House
of Representatives. They are expected t. pro
woke good deal of debate later in the ses-
sion, and some interesting speeches will be
heard. Mr.. Edmunds, of Vermont and Mr.
Hill, of Colorado, each has in the Senate an
elaborate bill to provide for a postal
Telegraph. Mr.. Hill delivered to-day al.
earnest argument in support of the
measure introduced by him. He sketched
the origin and progress of the postal
systems of the civ ilized world, showing the
effect of their extension. He gave in detail
the history Of the consultations of small
companies with the Western Union monop-
oily. Other competing lines are now starting
he said, but they will be short-lived, no mat
ter how able their promoters may be to carry
them on. Where combination is possible com
petition is impossible, end in the nature of
things capitalists will not carry their schemes
beyond the polnr AT which they become
Improbable. Frequent complaints had been
made of the manner in which the telegraph
business of the country was transacted by pri-
vate companies, and he asserted that all who
had investigated this subject impartialy CON
1900 .'po 'iC AtIliS'ly lIlusJ Cplllc III SOllie
form of action by the national government.
In conclusion he said : The use of the tele-
graph is now restricted by its cost to extra
ordinary communications and by its nature
to messages which do not need to be in
the handwriting of the sender Under these
conditions the proportion of kilograms to
letters is about one to thirty, but who shall
say how soon some great discovery, no more
wonderful than the telephone, may enable
fac simile messages to be sent instanta-
neously and cheaply over the wires, instead
Of by the slow and costly process by which
they are now Transmitted in Europe. If that
result shall he accomplished and it is being
earnestly sought by inventory the post
office will be stripped OF its most important
business. Every letter which does not re-
quire absolute secrecy, or which can be writ
ten in cipher, will be taken from the mails
and sent by electricity. Drafts will be drawn
and balances settled daily by telegraph, and
the monopoly which shall have grown up in
the control of this business will overshadow
not only the postoiiice department, but the
government itself

REGARDING the effect of the two-cent pos
tage law, the following facts are given by
the postofiice department: The net decrease
in postal revenues at 40 principal offices for
the fourth quarter of 1883. as compared with
the anne quarter of 49,. was Sig.9lS. These
offices collect about one-half of the entire pos
tai revenues. The three offices showing the
greatest loss We're New York S2j,3lS, Chi a 20
Sl1 PSI, and Boston lo.fi1. The largest in
crease was at Louisville, Ky, where the re-
ceipts for the last quarter Of 1883 exceeded
those of lSS? by Sl3,lG3.
