A GREAT TUNNEL The great tunnel
through the Cascade Mountains on the
Northern Pacific road viii let daylight
through the rock to-day. The crowds OF
workmen who have been working from both
sides are now within hearing distance. The
tunnel, which is 5000 feet long, is through
solid rock nearly all the wnv, and has been
finished as the work proceeded. When the
final piercing has been inished there will he
nothing left to do but to lay track. Trains
will be running through it within two
weeks. The tunnel was bsgun early in
1885, and the contract was for about 81 ,000,-
600. When The work was begun there were
no roads leading into the mountains, and eli
the heavy machinery had to be hauled in
on wheels and then transferred to runners.
La some places the pressure of the mountain
is so great that clay is forced up from the
bottom, and an inverted arch ofstone had to
he constructed to keep the clay down. The
work has been carried on by electric light,
power which is supplied by small
mountain stream which flows down the
mountain and falls directly over Tie mouth
Of the tunnel.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3.

TIE NEW YORK Herald, next to the re-
nublican mugwump newspapers OF the
Moth, has been and is one Of the most ear
nest supporters of the Presidents renomina
,ion and reelection. But. in respect Of the
recspt domination for Chief Justice, even the
Herald feels compelled to say
.Mr. Fuller is the most striking and original
3;ssoverv of the administration. We DO not refer
to this Az a criticism, but rs conspicuous Illus
trstion of hat Mr.. Cleveland evidently regards
as a wiso pcicy. And its wisdom is indicated
by the fact trat the President is stronger than his
party. snd although IN his dlspensatlon Oh inc
higher patronage he has proceeded upon the theo-
re that no antecedent democratic services estab-
li.hed claims he was bound to respect, the party
n,onoses TO nominate him for re election with
Jscksonisn enthusiasm. What should be a prizs
to the foremost lawyer in the land or a promotion
to the most worthy justice on the supreme bencn
is givea to gentleman outside OF the court anu
known if known even there, only in what might
ba called the technical inner circles OIL the is"'
Wo are not sure that this is for the best, or tnat
IT il either republican or democratic IN pfsctlce,
We might expect in Russia, where the Cars Will

grsy. reasons for doubling whether IL is In mar

in his gift should be bestowed upon gentleman
almost unknown in proud and conspicuous pro-
fesson.'
The President cow takes little or no heed
of the advice or desires Of his party. His
acts prove that he thinks he is not only
stronger than his party, as The Herald says,
but that he is better than his party. If he
shall be reelected his autocracy will be I'M.
rest.ained-as there can be no third term
ard the front door of the White House will
be as neer as any of the leaders OF his party
can ever approach him.

PROF. LANGsToN, the colored republican
candidate for Congress in the Petersburg
district, who recently kicked severely against
General Malone, accusing him of selecting
delegates to party convention at mis- own
ahouse previous to the meeting of the con.
vention, and threatening him with the elec-
ton of the democratic municipal ticket in
Petersburg, and with the loss of the negro
vote of the State in the Presidential contest,
has suddenly become entirely subdued, and
is now working ss quietly in the Generals
traces as any OF the others in the team. For
ways that are dark and tricks that are vain
the General is eminently peculiar. His
methods" are effective. and his "malgn
influence" immense.
