The New York World reports great deal
of Thurman talk in Washington. The ''Old
Roman" has very large following among
the boys with cold toes, and they are exceed
ingly clamorous to get him into the cabinet.
He has other claims, however, than the sup
port of the cold toed boys. He is one of the
abest men in the Democratic party, and one
of the most honest. He has incurred the
hatred of the Mclean Democracy of Ohio
and that is to his credit. Indeed Cleveland
might well select him "for the enemies he
has made" The Mugwumps don't like him.

As pleasant reminder of what is likely to
happen the New York Sun calls Mr.. Cleve-
lands attention to the wrecked admnistra-

and then goes on to inquire if he. without
political experience, is likely to prove the
superior of Van Buren, Pierce and Buchan-

The Argus is rather non-committed on
the subject of an agricultural experiment
station, but it is quite apparent that it does
not look upon it with much favor. The
zeal of the Democracy in this business has
very much cooled since last June when in
their state convention they resolved that the
interest of the farmers demanded the estab-
lishment of station in connection with the
state college. With this resolution staring
them in the face it will not do to be absolute
ly frigid, however, because it might indicate
that the resolution was put in simply to
catch votes.

The attempt to settle the status of roller
skating as an exercise by interviewing the
doctors doesn't seem likely to meet with
distinguished success. The opinions of
several conspicuous New York physicians
who were questioned on the subject were
found to be widely at variance. Several of
them condemned it in unqualified terms as
bad and only bad, while others waxed quite
enthusiastic in its praise. Probably DR..
Fordyce Baker, who pronounced it good for
some people if used moderately, and bad for
everybody if carried to excess, hit the nail
on the head.

Mr.. Hewitt proposes to stop the coinage
of silver by tacking clause to the sundry

ment to purchase any more silver bullion.
If the appropriations committee refuse to
report it he will offer it in the House as an

that they can defeat it no matter in what
way 1t gets before the House. Hewitt pro-
fesses to be acting at the suggestion of Cleye

they will not find favor with the new ad-

Assuming that that body will grant
all the requests for money made upon it
the Augusta correspondent of the Adver-
tiser makes out a very good case of ex-
trayagance against the present legislature.
But the legislature is not responsible for
what is asked of it, but for what it gives. We
are informed on the best of authority that
the appropriations are not likely to exceed at
all, or only very slightly, those made by the
legislature two years ago. The finance COM
mittee will report that tax of 81 mills, or
one quarter of mill less than for the last
two years, will be sufficient for the next
two years. Had the legislature been
extravagant this reduction of taxation
would not be possible.

Canadian Pacific Scheme.

A dispatch from San Francisco says:
r. j. Harrison of this city is in receipt of
a letter from Vice Preside Mt Van Horne OF
the Canadian Pacific Railway COMPANY, dated
Montreal, Nov. "A, which reads: 1--WE hope
at an early date to establish connection with
San Francisco, and be able TO give you the
benefit OF an additional competing line. We
expect to be able to make as quick time be-
tween San Francisco and New York. and
other Eastern cities. as made by any of the
present lines, and feel sure that the opeuing
of the Canadian Pacific railroad will prove of
great advantage to the trade of your city.
This recalls an incident in a railroad fight
which has never before been made public.
Shortly after the Northern Pacific was
completed, a representative of the traffic
department was sent to San Francisco to
secure contracts with shippers of that CITY.
1t was no easy work. While the Central
and Southern railways We're intensely un-
popular and nearly everyone felt like pull
ishing them the big shippers were afraid
to take decisive step. because they did not
know how heavily the California roads
might retaliate in the way of increased
rates to the interior. &. j. Harrison. men
toned above. took the lead in favor of
signing contracts with the Northern. and
secured quite number of signatures. He
is wholesale liquor dealer, remarkably
enthusiastic and energetic and great anti
monopolist. The shippers who were in
clIned to unite with the Northern. still felt
like holding back for a while in hope of bet
ter rates from the California lines But
Harrison wouldn't wait. He ordered car
load OF bottled beer from Milwaukee
over the new line. 1t came to portland by
express train, reached here the day the
steamer sailed for San Francisco, was the
last thing put into the ship and the first
thing discharged and was on the wharf in
an-Francisco nine days after it was shipped
from Milwaukee. Harrison got three
trucks each drawn by six splendid horses.
with flags in their bridles and headed by
brass band they paraded the city. The
trucks bore banners painted in the largest
letters practicable. Emancipation at Last
That little incident scared the California
lines into making peace with the Northern
Pacific. They Immediately called con-
ference, and the result was that the Central
