Our prediction made several weeks
ago that the overland passenger
trains which departed so heavily
freighted with sansuine political ex-
pectation would return loaded down
with despair, is realized. MANY
who went for commissions came
back with depleted pocket books and
an experience impressing the belief
that all earthly hopes are vanity and
lead to vexation of spirit.

Mr.. Beecher's recommendation that
Phelps was appointed Minister to
England. This, with the appoint
ment OF the reverend gentleman's
son to the Co!lcctorship of Puget
Sound, which seems to be deter
mined upon, should settle the major
part of the obligation owed to the
Plymouth pastor. The rc-aproint-
ment of Pearson, Postmaster of New
York, should wipe out the scores of
Indebtedness to the independent
Republicans of New York, and the
position of Minister to the Neither
lands, assigned to Isaac Bell, Jr =,
lrother-in-l law of James Ct. Bennett,
should pay part of the HcrdldS

are any other factions entitled to re-

Passing Away.

PASSING AWAY.
Rapidly the twilight approaches in
the lives Of our few remaining p;o
nee,s. Scarcely a mouth passes in
which the unwelcome duty does not
recur Of noting tie demise of some
old settler who has left his imprint
on the early history of our Territory.
It is now our sad task to announce
the death Of Edward Arthur Wilson.
of Arcadia, Mason county. who
passed over the dark river, Wedncs-
day morning, at S o'clock, aged 80
years and ) months. Mr.. Wilson
was born at Cloutarf, Dublin Bay,
Ireland, October 18th, 1891 He
came to this country in 1919. land
ing at San Francisco, July Oh of
that year, from the whale.hip i'ain-
tie, Capt. Cleveland master. S1bse-
qucn!ly he came to Oregon, al the
Rogue River War being i'll progress,
joined Co. b. of volunteers, Capt.
Poland commanding In this SER
vice he distinguished himself as a
man of rare courage and determine
ton. He served till July, 1856, but
never received any pay, his discharge
papers having been lost. In May,
1858, he came to Whatcom and was
subsequently elected Commissioner
of that county. January 4th, 1860,
he opened a store at Union City,
Mason county. In 1863 lie served
term in the Legislative Assembly,
and was elected Quartermaster Gen
eral OF the Territorial Militia. Feb
ruary 14th, 1864, he married Eliza
Kirkland, who survives him, by
whom he has had seven children.
In 1867, he was elected Joint Coun-
Gilman of Mason, Pierce and Che
halls counties. In 1870 he was
elected Comlnissary General by the
Legislature. Daring the whole
time from his advent to the Terri
tory his residence has been contin-
uous, with tho exception of one
year, 1865, which was passed at Scio,
Oregon. Returning in 1869, he
opened a store at Arcadia, where lie
has e?er since resided. He has been
for many years Auditor of Mason
county.
In every relation of life Mr.. Will
son has "acted we'll" his part. AS
a husband and father he has been
faithful and devoted; as o friend true
and steadfast; as q citizen public
spirited and enterprising; as an Off
GER, one whose integrity has never
been questioned. The world is bet
ter from the example of such men.
The generous impulses which in
fluenced almost every act of his life,
left their impress upon the hearts of
all with whom he came in contact.
His presence was sunshine to the
sorrowful. His bright smile and
CHEEKY greeting has impaired Joy to
many a respondent heart. and the
tender bud of hope, we'll nigh blight
ed by the chill of despair, has re-
ceived new life and vigor from his
watchfulness and care. Peace be
with him.
The remains were inferred yester-
day, in the cemetery near Oakland,
under the impressive ceremonies of
the Masonic fraternity, OF which he
was an honored member. He like

Atlanta and Its Vote.

70 the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
During the past few days 1 have read several edi-
torials in your paper rejecting upon the Democratic
party at Atlanta, Ga. It is evident you have written
without investigation. I can not believe you have
willfully misrepresented these people. Allow me, as a
late resident of that city, to give you some facts which
may show why the vote has SO suddenly increased.
The proportion of white voters to the black is about
sixty and forty in favor of the former. At least forty
nine out of fifty whites vote the Democratic ticket.
So you will readily see the impossibility of the city
going Republican, even though the entire colored vote
be conceded to the Republican party, The result is,
there is a general apathy which you know is common
to all localities where the vote is so one-sided. think
I am correct when 1 say that usually about two-thirds
of the whites and one-third of the blacks vote. In the
recent contest it was evident, as the result showed,
that the vote would be very close and every elector
was brought out. Another fact which largely
increased the vote was that each side paid the poll
tax of delinquents, thus enabling them to register.
Heretofore the colored voter did not care to pay his
tax so he could exercise the right of suffrage, when he
knew he could not win. lived in Atlanta some five
years and never saw or heard of a black being intimi-
dated when voting. have no doubt the Democratic
party there would pay any man literally who will
come up and make affidavit that during the past ten
or fifteen years he has been prevented from voting
when he was Justly entitled to that right.

prise. 1t should be borne in mind, however, that the
first three days of the week property loaded prior to
the taking effect of the advanced rates was in transit
1t will be seen that all the Eastern lines showed an in
creased east-bound movement last week over that
of the week ending Nov. %. But a
small per cent. of the property forwarded
was for export, the larger portion being consigned TO
New England and interior Pennsylvania and New
York points. West-bound traffic continues good, the
tonnage of the last ninety days exceeding that of any
three months business in the history of the roads,
the excellent time the Indianapolis lines are making
between the East, and Western, and Southwestern
points undoubtedly having much to do with the favora-
bic exhibit. North and south roads are doing fairly
well, but are handling little through business. With
all lines local traffic is quite satisfactory There have
been times when there was a heavier local tonnage,
but these were exceptions. Shipments of live stock,
both of a through and local character, continue heavy.
Below we give the number of cars received and for
warded at this point in the week ending at IL o'clock

week last year:

partial efficacy of the measure, and some of them viii
content themselves with it, possibly. But the
testimony of high license advocates upon a
except as to the present number of saloons and the
increase of revenue. 1t is to be expected that the
number OF saloons will be reduced for a time at least,
but the disputed point is the effect upon the reduction
OF the amount of drinking and the evils resulting. L
doubt II you will claim that the reduction of saloons
in Chicago from !, 900 to ), 800 has made any appre-
cable reduction in the amount of drinking in that
city, or reduced the number of arrests by the police
for drunkenness, and consequent crimes and mlsde-
meanors. The surprise to Prohibitionists is that the
reduction was not 1000 instead of 600 saloons. But
even II that had been the case, and the
number Of saloons were reduced to an
four, we would still doubt that any reduction in the
amount of drinking would result. You oppose pro-
hibition because it is Intellectual. You say that men
will wi &c. drink INK. and law will not prevent them from doing ps
the strength of the liquor appetite. does it not follow
that the man addicted to the habit will cross the
street to get his dram, if he finds the old place closed,
or win pass on to the next block if there is none on
this onei And is it not true, also, that the better
class of saloon-keepers, as they are termed. will use
extra inducements to increase their trade, now that
their license fee has been so largely increased
AS to the increase of revenue from high license. we
must agree with you. 1t is largely increased by high
license. but it is increased for the reason that so few
saloons quit business on that account. If our 800
license closes half our saloons (which it will not, OF
course) the revenue will be no greater than when all
were running on a $50 license. But neither you nor
we would be willing to increase the revenue of our
city by imposing a heavier tax upon the families of
our drinking men, and there is certainly where the
proposition that a city ought to derive it's revenue
from a business that demoralzes its citizens, and I'M
fits or incapacitates them for transacting
their business, hinders their material pros
perity, or social and moral progress.
This all admit the liquor business does more ~effectual,
~, even, than prostitution or gambling, neither of
which evils would you license on any consideration.
We might try to content ourselves for a while with
a local,option law, hoping that eventually it would
spread like leaven from county to county throughout
States; but it would be declared unconstitutiona
here, and so it is not to be thought of. We do not be-
Iieve it is right to license, or tax, or take pay in any
shape, for carrying on a business so fraught with evil
to individuals and society as the liquor traffic, and so
we have no recourse but to cry for prohibition; and
whether you believe it or not, Mr.. Editor, we feel sure
that it is coming, and coming soon.

B. g. O. Declines to Enter the Pool

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company to-day notified Commissioner Fink that
they would not become a member of the New York
pool until some definite action was taken by the other
roads to accord it it's proper share of the passenger
business to and from New York, or in other words, to
restore the status which existed prior to the enforced
Withdrawal of its lines over the Pennsylvania road
between New York and Baltimore. Notwithstanding
this action. the passenger agents met this afternoon
and agreed to put the pool into effect as far as the
other roads were concerned, and fixed the date of the
beginning of the business. on and from Dec. 1, at the
same time ordering an advance in rates, to go into eff
$21 f~rstclass between Chicago and New York, with
corresponding rates between all other Western points
and New York. The Boston lines, at their last meet
ing, agreed to advance their rates simultaneously with
the New York lines, and they have been notified of
the action taken at the meeting to-day, and will &C
cordingly advance their rates correspondingly on
Tuesday.
