Mr.. rllnnn nnn M. nlyrong,.,

The Star Is the'organ Of the Administra.
tloA in Now York. 1t aims to be the or
gan Of the National Democracy. From
the Democratic point Of view 1t may be
supposed that Mr.. Dorsheimer's Star is Of
this Orthodox faith. Referring 10 the time
when Mr.. Tllden iorbore to plunge the
country into civil war because the people
refused to elect him and tho Electoral
Commission declined to give him a title
to the Presidency, the Star ssyS;
All the later years Of his lie Mr.. Tilden
stroye 10 make Ills countrymen forget his
recreancy at that iateiul time. But the
assertions that have been made In his be-
half arc either false or only true In part.
He was the leader Of his party, but no re.
fused 10 lead. He was looked TO Rs the
guide Of the people, but no had no coun-
Gel to give. There Is no stranger, no more
pitiful spectacle in history than this wise
old statesman, striving by his willy arts to
meet the requirements Of a time which
could not be met except by open and de-
liant action.
This is fairly, entertaining, and yct IL
surpassed by an open Coniession which
will bother those Democrats who SMILE
over the "Vreat irod, but have nothing To
S,y against the desperate efforts Of Mr.,
Tilden's agents to buy for him the dis.

much to ask that the people should mako

RAILROAD SURvEyoRs.-Mr. Clark and

RAILROAD SURvEYoRs.-Mr Clark and
party OF railroad survey ors arrived in
Lew lston on Mondays steamer with
the intention of making a survey up
Clearwater and across the prairie over
the route recently Travelled by Col.
Curtis. These people are in the employ
of the Oregon Short line, backed by the
Union Pacific railroad company and
they are determined to find an outlet
for the Union Pacific to the sea over the
Short line and extensions subsequently
to be built. Mr.. Clark is the engineer
who surveyed the Snake river canyon
for the Short line, and we presume that
that route has been deemed imprac-
ticable, hence these new surveys. The
Union Pacific directors fully recognize
the fact that the Clearwater country is
the key to the railroad situation in the
northwest and as soon as they decide
upon route the money for its construc-
ton will be promptly forthcoming.
