He Is Highly H0nored.

PORTLAND, December 25.-Rev. Ross
G. Houghton, pastor of Grace M. E.
Church, of this city, has been elected a
regular member of the Society OF Biblical
Archaeology, London. This is probably
one of the highest literary honors ever
conferred on Pacific Coast clergyman.

Christmas in the Bay city.

SAN Francisco, December 25.-Busi-
ness was almost entirely suspended in
this city to-day and the Christmas holi-
day was observed in an unusually quiet
manner. The churches were all

decorated with floral offerings than in
former years. The theaters were as
usual filled with amusement seekers, and
at the Bay District track match race be-
tween AL Farrow and Nadeau, won by
the former in :51 p attracted good at
tendance despite the cloudy weather. AT
all charitable and city and county insti-
tutions Christmas dinners were pro.

The Detectives Won't Talk.

SACRAMENTO, December 25.-Railroad
detectives True, Hickey and Burke, re-
turned this evening from the scene of
last nights express robbery above
Emigrant Gap, but all refused to talk
when approached regarding the result of
their investigations. Detectives Hume,
Arlington and Thacker left for Emigrant
Gap this afternoon, and Tom Harris and
other officers arrived here tonight on
their way there. Although Superintend-
ent Tracy said this afternoon the Express
Company's loss would not exceed $500,
the belief is given everywhere that the
thieves secured an amount reaching into
thousands of dollars, some estimating it
at over $4,000.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.

All of the Southern states, and Georgia
particularly, are making exceptionally
vigorous efforts to attract within their
borders some of the immigration now
setting toward our shores. BY every
possible means they are setting forth
the advantages possessed by the South
ern states, both as places of residence
and as furnishing excellent oppOrtuni-
ties in business way. All this is, OF
course, very cOmmendable.
The new South, awakening into COM
mercial activity and just beginning to
develop its enormous wealth of mate
rial resources, does undoubtedly possess
attractiveneSs and marked advantage
over more settled Eastern states. No
one can object to the Southern states
doing everything in their power to add
desirable elements to their population.
But this immigration advertising is be-
ing done too indiscriminately to attain
the best results, and the criticism might
perhaps apply as well to the Northwest
as to the South, only in a less degree.
There should be process of natural
selection in immigration. People ac-
custOmed to the sterner climate of Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, Russia or
Northern Germany should not be in
duced to settle in the warmer, and to
them, enervating Southern states; nor
should those whose old homes were in
Southern France. Italy and the warmer
European climes be persuaded, against
their inclination and better Judgment,
perhaps, to find new homes in the
Northwest, the more rigorous climate OF
which might naturally be expected to
agree with them but lily.
There are enough immigrants coming
to this country annually to give all sec.
tionS due proportion of the increase
and the newcomers are far more apt tC
be cOntented in their new homes if the
immigration agents exercise something
like Judgment in distributing them ac-
cording to their previous climatic expert
ence.

WHY HE'S TIRED.

Assistant Postmaster General STE
vENSON is tired out. He has been work
ing constantly for almost three years,
and now finds it absolutely necessary to
take rest. He has accordingly gone to
Florida, and every good Democrat, every
lover of honest government-the terms
are synOnymOus-will wish that he may
return thoroughly recuperated and ro-
bust enough to go again to the work
which has brought about his horrible
fatigue.
For it is in the service Of his country
and his party-again the terms are
synonymouS-that Mr.. STEVENSON has
become worn out. He started in to
carry out Democratic principles by
carrying out of the 10000 fourth
class poStOfficeS in the country
the Republicans who hadn't the
grace to get out themselves upon
the advent of Democratic administra-
tion, ,and the undertaking has overtaxed
his strength. But he has 10000 capable
and deserving Democratic pOStmasterS
to show as the result of his labor. That
is certainly record to be proud of. Mr..
STEVENSON has surely earned his vaca-
ton.
Itwould be we'll if certain others, high
in authority, were experiencing the same
fatigue from the same melting cause.
The country could stand it, the party
could stand it, and it would be good for
the officials themselves. But unfortu-
nately Mr.. STEvENsoN'S complaint is
not as contagious as it ought to be.

BISMARCK defines the policy of Ger
many, which is virtually the policy
Of himself, in manner admirable for its
clearness and its conciseneSs. He evi-
IDENTIFY believes, though a master of the
circumlocutiOn of diplomacy, that little
plain speaking at this particular time
will do good, and he doesn't hesitate to
speak.
Briefly, his position is that he doesn't
believe Russia intends any harm, and he
thinks that at present France may be
acquitted of any warlike Intentions; but
that if either of them ever intend trying
TO make things uncomfortable for Ger
many, that country will be found more
than ready. He virtually says to Rus
Sia, seemingly the most disturbing
factor: I'm ready to believe you mean
well enough, but Eve got my eye on
you, and if You take one step against
Germany you will find her fully pre-
pared to meet you halfway"
With this preface BISMARCK will
probably have little difficulty in getting
the reichstag to vote the increase to the
army which he desires and which will
still better enable BISMARCK to main
tain toward belligerent neighbors the
bold attitude which, in the past, has
gone so tar toward preserving the peace
Of Europe.

RLAINE AND RARNUM.

The GLOBE is not in the business of
making presidential candidates, and
least of all Republican candidates. Still
that does not debar us from making sug-
gestiOns as they seem appropriate. The
suggestion we have to make to our Re-
publican friends is that BLAINE and
BARNUM be their ticket i'll the approach
ing presidential election. This ticket
is suggested by the fact that the Repub-
lican campaign is to he conducted as a
great spectacular performance, includ-
ing a variety of show features of a most
novel and sensational character. p. II.
BARNUM beats the world on startling
show attractions. Mr.. BLAINE is next
to BARNUM as sensational exhibitor,
and if the two are put on the same
ticket they can furnish the American
people the most amusing campaign in
the history of the country. OF course
there will be no show of electing the
ticket, but there would be more fun in
1t than three organ grinders, each the
owner of a brace of monkeys, could
furnish. Inasmueh as the Republican
party's only excuse for existing is to af-
ford amusement, the BLAINE and BAR
MUM ticket would be exceedingly ap-
prOpriate.

At no time since have the footprints of

To Defeat Blaine.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE Mail this aft
ernoon publishes an article setting forth
that there is in existence secret po-
litical organization of prominent men
throughout the country with the object
of controlling the national Republican
convention and preventing the nomina-
ton of James e. Blaine. 1t is stated
that the nominee of this newly formed
league will be Judge Gresham. The
affairs of the organization have been
kept very quiet, and it was only by an
extraordinary use of the most improved
pumping process that the Mali re-
porter succeeded in getting the above
facts from Il member of the organiza-
ton. The aim of the American
Order''-as it is called-is to defeat Mr..
Blaine in the convention if possible,
and if not there then at the polls, be-
cause his family profess the Catholic
religion. This is the only reason as
signed by them why Mr.. Blaine should
be defeated.

THE CASE OF WHITE.

There is little reason why the fact
that forty-Seven Democrats i'll congress
voted in favor of WHITE, the Republl-
can, in the WHITE-LoWRY congressional
contest, should create either "conster-
prise among the Republicans.
1t was as clear ease of justice that
Mr.. WHITE should be seated as any the
sun ever shone upon. There was no
question about WHITE having received
a majority of the votes. Their number
was overwhelmingly in his favor. 1t
was clearly the wish of the people in
his district that he should represent
them in congress. For thirty years he
had been 4 citizen of the state. lie
had served with distinction as Union
soldier in the late war, and he was
known to hundreds of people as patriot
and a man of the utmost reliability.
The only thing, then, upon which a
contest could be based was the fact
that Mr.. WHITE, who was born in Scot
land, could not prodnce his naturaliza-
ton papers. These he swOre had, To-
gether with the record of them, been ae-
cidentally destroyed. Surely a man
who had fought for his country, and
who for nearly third of century had
been known as an upright and honora-
bic citizen, was worthy of belief. Forty
seven Democrats, at least, very properly
joined the Republicans in thinking So
and gave a fitting rebuke to those who
would seek mere party advantage at
the cost of justice and every principle
of manlineSS.
Minnesota has no reason to be
ashamed of the fact that among the
number who voted for WHITE were two
OF her representatives.

battle of ballots in the history of Du-

which will be met by suits for criminal
libel, some feeling was worked up re-
garding John B, Sutphin, present
mayor of the city. His vindication at
the hands Of the people was triumphant
and complete, his majority being 655, and
carrying four out of the six wards. To
night imprOmptu professions are parad-

Tribune, being called from his office
and enthusiastically cheered by the
dense crowd of people. The procession
then visited the Daily News Office, and
amid chorus Of groans, boots, cat-callS

for the present administration and a
singing rebuke to few political sore

SHELBYvHIE, Ind, Feb. Mrs.
Clara L. ScOtt's suit against her father,
John G. Wagner, of Cincinnati, to re-
cover some S20,C worth of property
which she charges him with obtaining
by fraud, was called up yesterday on a
change of venue. The plaintiff claims
that in 1886 her grandmother, Mrs.
Mary G. Kepple, gave to Wagner 5000
to purchase the lot on which the house
now in dispute stands, under the condi
ton that he should have it decided to his
wife her daughter, and the two chill
dren, of which the plaintiff was one.
Soon after the wife and one child died,
leaving the plaintiff alone. Wagner'S
third wife heard of the girls interest in
the property and they made life bur-
den for her. She was locked in the eel
lar, scantily fed and cruelty worked.
Some of her SchoolmateS discovered her
condition and brought her food, and
finally told their parents. May 5, 1878,
a mob was formed, and it was with diff
Guilty that Wagner was escorted to
train for Cincinnati, where he has since
lived, and where his third wife and
her daughter both died in the last two
