Burning Of the Steamer Bristol.

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. 30.-rhe
steamer Bristol Of the Old Colony line
burned at her dock here this morning,
and is total loss. She arrived from
New York about $50 A. NJ, and
landed all her freight and her Fall River
passengers. There were left on board
only few Newport passengers and their
personal baggage.
At 6 o'clock, just as the last passenger
train vas drawing out Of the depot,
fire was discovered on the steamer, and
an alarm was at once given from the
company's signal on the premises. The
fire started near the kitchen and spread
with rapidity, rendering futile all efforts
to s'opi's progress. Three alarms we're
sounded in rapid succession.
Thousands Of citizens were attracted
to the spot by the brilliant illumination,
and the volumn Of fire aud clouds Of
smoke which arose from the burning
steamer was brought into use, as soon as
the flames were discovered, aud the crew
worked with great vigor to save the boat
but the joiner works OF the state rooms,
saloons and stairways were dry as finder,
and the drau- hts through the steamer
caused icarfully rapid spread of the
flames, so that before the city FIRE de.
partment arrived there was a mass of
fire sweeping her almost from stem to
stern.
Some Of the passengers still on board
did not understand the meaning Of the
first alarm and were only aroused by the
cracking of flames near by. All sue
caeded in escaping, but some with only
a portion Of their clothing, and other BY
crawling over the railing near to the
burning timber. One man, with tive
| little children, who occupied stateroom
was awakened by the sound of cracking
flames near by and hardy escaped with
his little ones undressed, but with clothes
10 their hands, One young man had t.
borrow clethius in which to 20 to bis
home i'll this city All the persona
baggage of the passengers was saved.
When the department arrived .h.
upper decks aud center of the steamer
was mass IF flames, which gave ou
such intense heat that it could scarcel,
be borne at distance of several hundred
feet. This greatly impedcd the work o.
the lircmep. The flames had gained
such Roadway th,t they could only b.
fought from the wharf side, while tb,
great heat aud flying sparks endang. rec
the buildings, docks and steamers lying
on either side OF the wharf, and con
slant effort was required on the part O.
the Gremcn to prevent them from igni.
ing Dozens of streams were soon pour
,ug into tho flames with little apparen
effect for over an hour, while other
were employed in drenchiug the dock
and buildings.

A New Idea Striking the People Of the
Great East.

The territories which expect admission
a. states in the near future will not find
such easy sailing as the people supposed.
There ale breakers ahead. An idea
seems to be cropping oat in the east that
the west will grow too strong and some
thing must be done to curb the ambi
ton Of the Occidental Empire. 1t is
proposes to cut up, slice and hash the
embryotic states. Dakota should be
divided according to tLis new idea.
Idaho is to be cut up and given to
Washington and Nevada. Utah is also
to go to Nevada. Wyoming is to be
partitioned off to Montana and Colorado,
aud New Mexico and Arizona are to be
consolidated. Unfortunately politics he.
separated the West and South, and the
East, finding itself supreme in the
struggle, can almost dictate its own
terms. IF Dakota could be got out Of
the way once, the territories would moi
only have additional strength 10 congress
but they would have clear field tt
make their individual demands ant
thwart the schemes of crafty politicians
But Dakota blocks the road Of the oihel
territories, and before she is disposed o.
many questions can arise which vii
keep the subject Of general admission il
the background. The east knows thai
her national prestige will slip away will
new states, aud for this reason she il
willing to keep severak millions of hard.
pioneers 10 bondage The idea Of tryin.
to wipe out three territories is a wicked
conception to rob the West of 81,
senators and about the same number o.
congressman. This is the "nigger in tn
woodpile." The measure Is boldl,
advocated BY the Chicago Tribune, al
intensely partisan republican paper

About the Cabinet.

The dispatches mention that Senator
Teller has called upon the president elect
but no one but the president-elect and
the senator knows the subject discussed.
The senator was interviewed 10 regard to
cabinet, and the following WIS
TALKED ABOUT MITCHELL.
Regarding the talk about Senator Nit
chell, of Oregon, as a cabinet possibility,
Teller said: "He would make a very
good cabinet officer, but / do not know
that he desires such a position. / have
heard of 70 effort to urge him. l doubt
if be would leave the senate. There
would be nothing in the way of his &C.
ceptance. II he shouli b appointed III.
successor 10 the senate would be repub.
ican, as the Oregon Legislature is Iepul i.
lican." The senator thought that one
new cabint, officer would certainly come
from the west. He stated that be ex
pected to express his views to the presi-
dent-clect on political matters, but be
should not urge the appointment OF eng
man. lie should, however, tell him
what be thought about some men.

WILL THE PACIFIC COAST De
REPRESENTED IN THE
CABINET,

We notice that some talk in the news.
papers is going on about the Pacific
coast being represented 10 the cabinet.
We arc Of the opinion that, considering
that the Pacific coast has very important,
large interests which need constant care
and vatchfulness by tho heads Of depart.
meut in the government, 1t would be
fitting that they, the citizens Of the
Pacific coast, should have some ono there
who intimately knows the wants and
needs OF the west coast. California is
said to greatly desire to have that repre-
sentative selected from that state. But
is California; interests greater than is
the interest Of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, aud is there man in California,
who ia Well acquainted aud we'll posted
in the affairs Of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, who could enter the cabinet
and give an Intelligent view Of the
claims Of those divisions, either from
experience or observation, or would he
be impartial in his voice Of things be.
tween these four divisions? Oregon has
two senators, any one Of which has
shown himself the peer 10 public matters
pertaining to the Pacific coast, to any
senator or representative from California
in congress. Perhaps it would be good
policy for the people Of the Pacific coast
to urge that one Of these men be chosen
to seat 10 the new cabinet, from this
coast. Either would be good man and
do credit to the coast 10 the cabinet.
We think the position Of Secretary Of
the Interior would be where his influence
would be of the most service to the
people Of tho coast generally. In that
position We think Senator Mitchcll's
versatile talents would beft the situation
best. His long observation aud expert
cncc On the coast his loug experience at
Washington in congress, as the repre-.
sentative of the people of the west,
would greatly add to his usefulness in
that position. He has always been
regarded as peoples man, and has
maintained himself as their friend in
defiance Of the opposition which has
assailed him, and his most bitter enemies
have been forced to quail before him.
He has passed through the fiery trial Of
persecution, and always come out without
even a scorching of his garments as q
man of noble purposes aud aims as
public man, and the entire people o.!
this northwest coast would be pleased to
have the president elect choose him for
the position Of Secretary Of the Interior,
ii he would accept the position.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Sine, our last issue 1888 has, without
much ceremony, gone from our gaze and
1889 has taken its place. Our redec-
tions upon what is passed are many and
varied, and very difficult, and too vol
luminous to describe in an article for our
readers. Our experiences have, no
doubt, been the experiences Of many
others as much, if not more, entitled to
notice, and so We let them pass With the
year now closed, the memory Of which
mag be now and then called up and
made vivid before US, 30 that We may be
able to see some Of tho mistakes which
VIC have made, in judgement and ex.
ecution Of duty, when at the time we
thought we could see clearly our duty,
and had good resolutions to not be
remiss in its performance. But We can
not recall the past, and it must remain as
part OF history acted in this lie. We
have knowingly done no person = wrong,
and we have been at peace with all our
fellows, while We have labored for their
good as we'll as our own. The new year
is upon us with its duties and response
bilities, its struggles and paststimes, and
whatever kind Of enjoyment is marked
out for US. All We can promise is that
we shall strive to meet our duties to come
with willing hand aud cheerful heart
and not be dismayed and hope for success

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the fora Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in .
sense Of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation OF
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing. enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fan.
was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that could not 20 up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and am now
o. healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
4. L. Williams, Alexandria, MINI.
have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, If 1t Is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. l have
also prescribed it as tonic, as we'll as an
alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compounded.-W.F +. Fowler, NJ D.,
