Anotllcr pi.astrous CONFEDERATION.

Spokane Falls. W. T., has just been
visited by another fire. which destroyed
about $780, 900 worth of property. The in
surance is about $4,000 There is every
reason to suspect that the second heavy
fire and the one previous was the result Of
incendiaries. The town Is said 10 be over
run with low, loose disrcputab,e element.
While the fire was in progress several at
temDts to commit arson were repeated, but
no one was caught. The citizens have
held mass meeting and the alarming sit-
uation has been discussed. It was decided
to make most determined crusade against
the crowd of loafers and tramps which in
tests the town. A large reward is of cred
for the apprehension OF any of the firebugs.

The Independence Beige recently pub
ished an article to reflect the views of the
German conservatives to the effect that
Prince Bismarck would follow the example
Of Gen. Won Moltke and resign. The
North German Gazette reprints the article,
merely remarking that the views expressed
are not the views Of the conservatives, but
rather those of the liberals. 1t is sup
posed to prepare the public mind for a
likely event. The London Chronicles
Berlin correspondent says that Prince Bis
marck has asked Emperor Williams per-
mission to resign, but that it is unlikely
that any change will be made at present.

seemed to rise at the side of the fur

POINTS POLITICAL.
The Political Position as Seen by
Many Of our Exchanges.

Cleveland can't catch the Ameri'
can eagle by putting free foreign salt
on his beautiful tail. 'Tisn't that
kind Of a bird.-Wheeling Intel
ligencer.
Two prominent attorneys OF
Eugene have made wager Of SlOO
each on the general result Of the
presidential election. Times must
be hard when the legal profession
commence on each other. Guard.
As the November election draws
near the different lies heretofore ap-
pearing i'm the democratic news
papers continue to multiply, and
by the time the campaign closes
these papers will hardly have any
room left for an item based upon
facts.-Oregon Blade.
1t is pretty generally thought
that Cleveland is looking for safe
place to drop his veto Of the Scott
Exclusion bill, but he won't find it.
There is no spot it can fall upon
sufficiently soft to deaden the
sound. 1t may change its nature
from crisp to dull, but there will be
a thud which will be heard all over
the Pacific coast.
The democrats are alarmed con-
cerning the political outlook of
Florida, owing to the continued
and extensive exodus Of white
voters to the north. The demo-
cratic plurality in Florida at the
last presidential election was 3735,
an average democratic majority Of
from 5000 to 5000. 1t is estimated
that 10000 Florida citizens are now
in the north, and afraid to return,
because Of the yellow fever.
Those who compare Cleveland's
letter Of acceptance this year with
his 1884 document will observe two
omissions this year. He no
longer regards the Office of president
as Essentially executive in its
nature" or holds that II candidate
for president oughttO express no orig
ginal ideas on matters of legislative
policy. He no longer regards a !
second term in office as fraught |
with danger to American institu-
lions.
A man named Wisdom of Baker
City has 200 head Of horses he de-
sires to wager on the coming presi- !
Dental election. He puts the value !
Of his horses ut 800 per head, and |
hey are undoubtedly worth it, In
'ase OF Harrison's election he will |
AXE $50 head for his horses, but
f Cleveland Is elected the loser
will have to pay 500 head. The
person taking the bet will have TO

Wisdom will give bonds for the

thoroughly investigated, In the

method of shooting down a man

suspicion that the man who did the

In the year 1878, an officer in court Of
justice, who was employed in the post-office
suffered death for having published some
false intelligence through the medium Of
the Gazette. The reason assigned by the
Judges in passing sentence was, that the
prisoner was wanting in respect to his i'm
perial majesty.
The Chinese invented block printing as
early as the tenth century. The discovery
fine art is attributed to Foong Too, the
Chinese minister Of state, whose otiicia |
work had been seriously retarded by his
inability to secure exact Transcripts Of his
orders and other papers. 1t was soon
after this discovery was made, that a
weekly official sheet of orders was issued
by the government. The single sheet
grew to a newspaper, and finally developed
into the Chinese Gazette, published daily.
