THE PACIFIC COAST IN THE CABINET

The State Board of Trade has made
strong, respectful and entirely proper APP
peal, under the right of petition, to Gen
eral Harrison for representation of the
Pacific coast in his Cabinet. If granted,
it viii be the second recognition accorded
in that direction to Pacific coast interests
and their phenomenal growth, and the
wonderfully strong geographical position
Of the Pacific States and the possessions of
the republic, and of their augmentiug 20
litical Importance. 1t will go far, also, to
give character and prominence to these
States in Eastern communities. When
the people of new States develop men
capable of filling the Presidency or Cab
met or ministerial positions, it is duty
to demand recognition of the fact. By so
doing we command attention from our
distant fellow-citizens that might other
wise be very long withheld. California
and Oregon are very remote from the seat
of Federal government, and it is a wise
policy that, by recognition, eliminates this
distance, and thus emphasizes the yastness
and importance of a nation that stretches
from one to the other of the largest oceans
of earth. As has been well said by the
memorialists addressing General Har-
rison:
The importance to us of representation in that
most august governmental council, the Cabinet
OF the President of our nation grows out of
those familiar principles of state snanship
which CORE he the administration of govern
ment with the prosperity and welfare of the peo-
pie governed. The distinctiveness of our inter
ests is referable to our environment.
And, again, there is especial strength
and vigor in this suggestion:
The States and Territories in whose name and
on whose behalf this memorial is presented are
most widely separated from the parent States
BY reason OF their geographical position their
climatic possibilities, their commercial proxiYr-
lty to the ohdest and most radically foreign civ
lization of the world. these States and Terri
torres have local and peculiar Interests The
fdclnc coast is, therefore, a geographical ex-
preston having corresponding political distinct
1veness. We respectfully submit that this may
not be said with equal folce of a1Iy other sec
tion of the Union.
Oregon hiss once been represented in the
Cabinet by one of her distinguished citi-
zens; it is therefore probable that if the
President-elect chooses a Cabinet officer
from the Pacific coast he Will prefer Cali
fornia in the selection

II is singular,that in bis review .ef the
affairs of the country President Cleveland
made no mention of the demand of several
Territories for admission into the Union.
The creation of sovereign States, the asser-
tlon Of the right Of local self-government
these are suhieotsef foremost Importance,
yet the President, so far as his message
discloses, never heard of The fact that five
Territories are demanding admission, and
that three of them have prepared State Con.
stitutions and subtnitted them to Congress
for examination.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

Human Nature' Jo-Night, 'Keep It
 Dark'' and "Our Irish Visitors, to Fol
 low.
 At the opera house this evening will be presented the Yankee comedy Human Nature" with strong cast and with new and elegant scenery. Richard O'Gorman, l, the "star'' of the play, is one of the most versatile comedians on either the American or European stage. His portrayal of ''Salem Peabody" a Yankee farmer, is said to be most finished piece of charater acting. A number of animals will be in troduced in the farm yard scene The Continental costumes worn by their brass band were made from special designs taken from the uniforms of 1776 that are pre- served as relics of the Revolution in the Smithsonian institute at Washington.
 ''Keep It Dark" with w. T. Bryant as the star comedian, appears at the opera house Thursday evening. The Sunday Herald, Baltimore, says: ''It is not ire quent that one entertainment can be made to continue proftably two successive weeks, but Keep It Dark is an exceptional success-it combines melody and merri- ment with specialties of great beauty, and it compels continuous laughter from the beginning to the end, and has been given during the past week to the largest audi ences ever known within an American the ater"
 Murray and Murphy in "Our Irish Wis itors" will be seen at the opera house Fri day evening.

THE STREET INSPECTORSHIP.

A Movement to Displace MT Bronson and
 Elect Ex-Street Inspector James M.
 CoIley.
 At the monthly meeting of the board of road commissioners this evening will come up the question of electing a street Inspector to succeed the present inspector, Ralph l.. Bronson. MT Bronson's time has expired, hut the board has not selected his success sor. It is said that an attempt will be made to oust MT Bronson and put ex-ln- spector James M Colley in the position. One Republican member already favors MT Colley, and will vote for him this even ing if the question is brought up before the board.
 In the fall of 1876, when James M Colley was street inspector, the manner in which he was running the street department brought the board down upon him and Edward L. Bronson, Joseph Weis and Charles Roper were appointed special committee to investigate into charges pre- ferred against MT Colley Among other things it was asserted in afidavlts that he had received present of suit of clothes from Eli Perkins in consideration of re- moving a bank of earth from Perkins premises near north Main street, that he received presents of money from James Reynolds, J. H. Whittemore, Patrick Phe- 1 Ian and E. D. Ketchum, and that he used teams employed by the city for his own business. The substance of the report ot the committee on these charges was as fol lows:
 In our opinion the failure of the inspector te keep upon the books of the city complete record l of transactions and entries of amounts pre- scribed by city ordinances, has been the occasion of considerable loss to the city, as indicated by various statements and affiidavits herewith pre- scribed We are also convinced that he has from time to time. accepted from various indl the employ of the city, which, if not wholly tt the detriment of the city and prejudical to it. interests, places him in a suspicious attitude il the eyes of citizens who desire perfect upright ness and impartality on the part of officials.
 This report upon being presented to th' street board was, however, considerabl, modified by them and presented to th' common council, MT Colley continuing il

 If the Cincinnati team clears more than expenses on the present trip, the surplus will be divided among the players.
 It is thought that the southern trip will cost the Cincinnati club in the neighborhood of S1,5O0, but with good luck expenses may be cleared.
 From Omaha comes word that Van Dyke, of the De Moines team, has challenged Sun- day, of the Pittsburgs, to run him a 100 yard dash for S25O side.
 Many of the players who wintered in Cali fornia are heavily in debt to Hart and Foutz, who acted as bankers, to the tune of several thousand of dollars.
 Anson reports that he has quite recovered the throwing use ot his right arm, which has been strained for some years. He attributes his recovery to hand ball playing.

eraled by Cummings.
 The other day Congressman Bob Vance got letter from old Feb Vance, United States senator from North Carolina It seems that one of Bob's letters got into Zeb's mail, and Feb had opened it mad vertently. In his letter of apology the senator expressed his regret, and added that he would be pleased to make Bob's acq cquaintance. He said that he would visit the house some day and hunt Bob up Bob showed the letter to Cummings. A day or two afterwards Amos was standing in the hall, near the main entrance, when he saw Gen Feb enter the door. Amos got MT Dougherty of Florida to introduce him to Zeb as the Hon Robert J. Vance of New Britain. The senator shook Cummings warmly by the hand inquired affectionate- ly after his health and questioned him as to the particular branch of the Vance fap- fly from which he sprang. The questions were answered satisfactorially and the sen ator was much pleased with his genial kindness.
 After leaving him, however, Cummings slipped over to Bob Vance and pointed out Gen Zeb, who was talking with the Hon M Phalen of the Memphis Avalanche Bdb slipped over to Phalen in great delight, and was introduced to the senator as the congressman rom NeW Bfltaln The sen ater drew himself up to his height, shook hands constrainedly, looked at Phalen rather indignantly and walked away. A ] ms sment afterward. in conversation with a 1 frtnd, he said: ''Are there two Vances in thu House?"
 t'I think not" was the reply.
 | l'Well," the senator said. ''I met one fine looking fellow, modest and plainly at tied as bright as a button, and undoubtedly Vance. Not long afterward however, a litle chipper, red-headed runt was intro deeA to me as Congressman Vance of Con- pscticut: He may be a Vance, but if he is Sne, the Vance strain has greatly detorior- llted since 1t appeared in Yankee land.'
