"The Northern Pacific Railroad
has now advanced eiehty.seven miles
from the Columbia river near Aims
worth, northwesterly, toward Puget
Sound. Tue track is laid to a point
half a mile north of North Yakima
to the first crossing Of the Yakima
river. Up to this point the work
has been comparatively light, but
now, indeed, comes the tug OF war. "
Contracts have been let to the 125-
mile post, near ElleDsbnrg, in the

pose TO complete the road at once

affairs. A hornet has made its APP
pearance in the hive of the school
board, and the City Council and tho
other members find it difficult sub
ject to handle it. This exasperating
individual by his conduct upon the
school board melted a rebellion ON
the part of the teachers, which led
them to tender their designations in
q body. This compelled n retreat
on the part of the board, and tho
proposed reduction of teachers sal
aries was abandoned. The special
school tax was defeated by illegality
in the proceedings and tho teachers
are now without pay, except upon
paper. The wranglings in the City
Council, where this same individual
is very active, have obstructed bust
ness and led to disruption. More
interesting developments are looked
for, as the war still RACES. ~ Tacoma

Voorhees, Defends Cleveland.

Senator VOORHEES, of Indiana, is
thus reported by Eastern journals:
1.-The distribution of patronage is
not proper subject upon which to
break with an Administration" said
Senator Voorhees,. Dishonesty in
office, or the administra ion of the
Government upon false principles
of legislation, can alone Justify a
leader of Il parry i'll iuamng into
opposition. 1t is, III my opinion,
highly impolitic for any one who
fails to get an Office to cry out that
the party is lost, and then fall to
railing against the Administration.
Mr.. Cleveland has not given me all
| asked for by any means. For in
stance I was very anxious that Mr..
Mcdonald should be appointed to
the Cabinet, and l worked hard to
secure that result; but l told Mr..
Cleveland that if, after maturely
considering all I had said upon the
subject, he did not see his way to
act in harmony with Our Indiana
views and desires, it would not be
fatal to US. 1t is Mr.. Cleveland's
Administration, not mine. 1t is for
him to look on every side, and
perhaps his appointments are wiser
than those l might suggest to him.
To the men who are before the
country accusing the Administration
of moving slowly, it ought to be
sufficient answer that the Democrat
ic party takes possession of a govern
ment which has been for 25 years in
the hands of the Republicans. If the
Administration went to work with
reckless rapidity in making changes
the members Of it'would prove there
by their unfitness for their places.
l refuse to discuss any such PROPOSE
ton as that Mr.. Cleveland may prove
disloyal to his party, or to the prin-
ciples upon which they elected him
My confidence in his integrity is
absolute. A more conscientious
President in his sense of duty never
crossed the threshold of the White
House. The personnel of the Cab
met he has chosen is also remark
ably high. 1t is not well selected,
in my judgment, in geographical
point of view, perhaps. 1 do not
think the Northwest was sufficiently
recognized, and there was no appar-
ent necessity for taking two men,
bers from New York; but better men
than Secretaries Manning and Whit
ney, individually, could not be
found. It is not conceivable that
these men will fail to discharge their
obligations to the Democratic party.
| believe very firmly that the Presi.
dent and his advisers should admin
ister the Government through the
hands of their political friends, and
1 believe further that they are going
to do so. If l read Alright the signs
of the times, this will be Demo
cratic Administration, but I, as q
stickler for this result, say that the
Administration is proceeding to that
end with proper circumspection. and
does not deserve that any adherent
should turn into an acrimonious
critic. In what I have said l have
intended no reference to the criti-
cism of Senator Eustis. Personally,
we are very friendly, and he is a
man OF high character and decided
ability"
