An accident happened q west
bound freight at North Bend Sstur-
day morning, full particulars of which
we have not been able to learn, but
from what We did find out it appears
probable the catastrophe would have
been avoided had it not been for the
dense fog which prevailed in the early
morning. The train was running in
two sections and as No. pulled out
of North Bend No. = ran into her,
wrecking the caboose and pretty bad
ly shaking up and frightening the
few passengers aboard. No one was
injured. James E. Ludlow, travel
ing man, we'll known and popular in
these parts, was one of the passengers.

then they were happy. Then they had their feuds-
such delicious feuds-in which they could pound and
maui each other while the other senators kept
discreetly out of the way And then they would

cigar and toddy together and continue the discus

to- Senator Edmunds has occupied rather solitary
position in the Senate since Judge Thurman left Con-

THE effort of the Louisiana lottery people
to have the New Orleans cotton exposition put
upon the list of frauds very properly and
promptly failed. This exposition has been
recognized by Congress, and was given recogni-
ton i'll the annual message of the President.
No one but lottery shark or 'dealer in
margins would have had the impudence to
ask that such an enterprise be put under the
ban of the Postofice Department It is much
to be desired that Congress will promptly pass
the law, said to be preparing by Postmaster
general Gresham, prohibiting to those papers
which publish lottery advertisements the
benefit of the pound rate, compelling them to
pay full transient postage Gambling of all
kinds-lotteries, margins, etc-must be put
down, and the full power of the law exerted
in every possible direction.

SIR GARNET WoLsELEY, now a lord be-
cause of his Egyptian campaign, is exerting
all his influence for temperance in England.
He is engaged in lecturing in various places
upon Success in life," in the course of
which he recommends total abstinence on the
ground of expediency. Lord Wolseley said
if two lads started together in life, all things
being equal, with the exception of one drink
ing and the other being teetotaller, it was
long odds on the latter. He added that on
his Red river campaign, one of the hardest he
was ever on there was no strong liquor and
there was likewise no sickness and no need
for prison discipline. If drunkenness could
be eliminated, crime in the English army, he
contended, would be practically at an end.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The business outlook for 1884 is of fair
promise. The past year was marked by quite
a number of commercial reverses, some of
considerable magnitude. Many of them were
the legitimate results of illegitimate specula-
ton, stock gambling and buying intangible
and elusive Futures" But even for 1888
straight business gave good returns and to the
disappointment of many the year passed with
fear of some such a general de-
preston may be admitted; but, despite the
wholesale gambling carried on openly on met
ropolitan boards of trade, and the enormous
losses therefrom, the trade of the country has
escaped anything like general loss. The new
year opens with a feeling of renewed trust.
Business men are encouraged to embark with
greater confidence. But the lessons of the
past cannot be ignored The wildcat specula-
tions that eliminated in the crash of 1873 may
be duplicated any time through q general
system of gambling in grain and stocks.
AHeie Is, Ho"eNeI, ILLS ullereHce' hHo SretC
losses of 1873 were the result of investments
in enterprises that collapsed, and in which all
interested lost heavily. In grain and stock
gambling some are sure to win when others
lose. A determined effort should be made
this year to curb, if not to kill, this growing
evil. 1t has no right to exist, and the legiti
mate business of the country cannot afford to
countenance it in any manner Let business
men confine themselves to their particular
lines, and little fear need be felt that we shall
have anything. but a prosperous year, which,
at its close, will show good dividends.

In the name Of all that is decent and honor
able, there should be an end to the sickening
johnson matter after the has been compro-
missed through which publicity has been given
to the sad details. But in the News, last night
which moralized over the printing of a
portion Of Mrs. Johnson's letters, there is
long statement, evidently written by Mr.
johnson himself, which is, by odds, the worst
and the most siekening of anything that has
yet seen the light. What motive could infu-
ence either Mr.. johnson or the News in writ
ing and printing the stuff is beyond eonject-
ure. There is enough of shame upon the
grave of the dead wife without the husband
adding more. The sacred condolences of the
marriage relation have been ruthlessly enough
broken. Let there be an end to the spectacle,
for very shames sake.
