In the matter of the monthly pay
ments of the Union and Central Pa
citic Railway companies to the
Pacific Mail Steamship company,
Secretary Lamar has submitted to
the secretary OF the treasury the

The death of Senator Miller of Cal

The third party temperance cranks,
who secured the election of Cleveland
by running ST. John for the presi-
dency, must feel very much elated
over the profuse flow OF a dozen or
or SO different kinds of wines and in
toxicating liquors at the presidents
state dinners.
Congressman Spriggs' confidence
that democrat will succeed Warner
Miller, as senator from New York,
would have a more palpable basis if
the democratic house we're doing
anything to make the country wish
that both branches were in control of
that party, siys the Herald.
For the first time charges Of cor
ruption both open and specific have
been made against John II. Mclean
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer, who for
the past half decade has been the al
most undisputed boss of Ohio
Democracy. OF course, the charges
surprise nobody. Everybody has
known that McLean's political meth
DDS are corrupt, and he has never
thought it worth while to make any
denial of the broad insinuations
which have been made concerning
him. The charge now made, how
eyer, is the first open and specific
one. Mr.. Mclean is accused of an
attempt to bribe, and is accused in a
manner that makes denial almost i'm
possible.
The Oregon City Enterprise, noting
the burglary of dwelling of one of
the citizens of that place last Sunday
night. says: "The criminals were
undoubtedly residents of this town,
who believe that if the residence of
one person can be broken open on
one Sunday night and the owners
thereof made to leave, that the pro-
perty of another can be taken the
next Sunday night" That is if, ex-
actly. There is no distinction as to
persons N the code of the freebooter.
A man who whl enter Chinaman's

Klickitat Sentinel: If such impu-
dent adventurers as Haskell, Cronin
and all the rest OF their ilk, were
treated to a coast of tars and feathers
and rode for mile on a three sided
rail with the sharp edge up, it would
be something to the purpose. We
have always supposed that the inhab-
itants of the cities and towns of Ore
gon and Washington territory were
competent to conduct their own
municipal affairs without being
instructed as to what they should do
and what they should not do by
strcIling vagabonds who have no
fixed residence. anywhere Whenever
II town loses its self respect enough
to listen TO one OF these foreign vaga
bonds, whose very presence on such
a mission is an insult, it had better
disorganize and It's citizens had bet
ter take to the woods; for they admit
that they are not capable of self
government.

There it remaiEed until about 1860,
when, the wall having crumbled, the
tablet fell out A new stone, bearing
the names of himself and family, was
placed over the tomb, and this tablet
was cast aside by the workmen as un-
fit for further use.
In the summer of 1886 the tomb Of
Bro. Russell was torn down and near
it was found the rejected stone. A
brother Mason residing in Arlington
turned it over and read the inscription
on the other side. Steps were at once
taken to remove it to plase of safety
At the meeting of Hiram Lodge of
Arlington, January 14th, 1856, Bro.
Walter Russell, grandson of Bro.
James Russell, moved, and it was
voted that the worshipful master be a
committee to have the tablet suitably
framed, and present it to King Solo
mans Lodge, in behalf of the heirs of
James Russell, at such time and place
az might be agreeable to both lodges.

RETpRN, AFTER MANY DAYs.-We had
the pleasure of meeting yesterday Mrs.
Maria T. Thomas, and her niece, Miss
Maggie Tebeau. Mrs Thomas was known
to US years ago. as Miss Maria Clark, Sis
ter of the late Saml. Fl. Clark, and niece
of Saml. Clark. deceased, who was well
known in histime as one of the most prom
.inent and upright Of our citizens. In
1858 Miss Clark, with Ler brother and
niece, left for Augusta, Ca, where they
resided for some years and where she mar
Eied Mr.. James Z. Thomas. a prominent
and wealthy citizen of Georgia, now de-
ceased. Mrs. Thomas was educated at the
Augusta Female Seminary and received
her diploma from the hands of Rev. Rufus
Bailey, one of the most accomplished ed
ucators of his time. She was for many
years engaged in teaching previous to
leaving Staunton. and a number OF our
most prominent business men recall thelf
sehoOl-day life under her excellent training
and discipline. Miss Tebeau's mother was
Miss Lizzie Clark before her marriage.
SISTER OF Mrs. Thomas, and she too was en-
dewed with the talent of imparting knowl-
edge to others She is now conducting at
Gainesville the largest female school in
the State of FloTi Ia and has an enviable
reputation as an instructor.
These ladies have been stopping at the
Hale House and have been cordially greeted
by our older citizens who have a pleasant
remembrance of their girlhood days. They
will visit a sister of Mrs Thomas in Poca-
hontas. Mrsi Gay and then divide their re-
naming time at the White Sulphur and
Rockbridge Alum Springs, previous to
their return to their adopted home in the
South. We wish them pleasant sojourn
while here and safe return.
