THE Sulphur Springs Gazette
News, referring to the Centennial,
says:
THE constitution of the United States er-
tiers upon the second century of its life with a
crystaIization which only mighty revolution
can deslrly."
The Gazette News probably remem-
bers the revolution of 1S6l-65. 1t is
hardly probable that any more
mighty effort to overthrow the consti-
tutional form of government estab-
lished in 17S7 will be made in the
coming century than was made in
1861, by the ordinance of secession,
and yet that mighty effort failed.
Revolution has not prevailed against
the pillars of national government
and it will not.

THE Waco News seems somewhat
perturbed in spirit, but needlessly so,
over the can tankerous conduct of Tam
many at the inaugural, and says
"Republican papers in New York are much
disgruutled over the fact that the Tammany
military procession did not salute the prcsi-
dent while passing"
The republicans are not disgruntIed
to any appreciable extent. There is
no law compelling Tammany to act
white. This is free country. Some
men were fOreordained fools, and who
shall prevent them making their
calling and election sure.
No wonder the democratic journals
have little commendatory to say of
the splendid grafton delivered by
Chauncey Depew last Tuesday. No
clearer exposition Of the intense an
agOnism of Washington to the state
lights doctrine was ever presented to
5he American people. 1t is destined

THE Houston Herald denies that
the Light Guards of that city are
drilling in order 10 take that Calves
ton premium. 1t affirms that the
Light Guards can win without prac-
tice, and that they will drill for fun.
The fox in the fable thought much the
same way, but it was the tortoise won
the race. San Antonio has longing
eye upon that Galveston persimmon
and will not concede that Houston has
the longest pole until the judges an
nounce the result of the measurement.
THE reported flaw in the charter by
which the two per cent sinking fund
has been increased to ten per cent
seems hard to account for. The
amended charter was submitted in
type writing and in the copy now in
the possession of the LIGHT the two
per cent is unmistakable and clear.
1t would seem to a man up tree that
the mistake Of an engrossing clerk
should not be permitted to vitiate leg
islative acts, if the true text of the
act can be shown outside the en-
crossed instrument.

RESISTED AN OFFICER.
And Now Must Explain Why He Made so
Grave q Mistake.

Yesterday afternoon constable John
w. Welch went on board the British
bark RoOTiHgG to arrest a man
charged with stealing clothes from the
boarding house of Mrs. Mccormack.
On boarding the vessel, the mate,
whose name Is John Francis
O'Connor, refused to allow the
constable TO take the man ashore,
although he had a warrant for
his arrest. The constable then came
ashore and procured the assistance of
sheriff Fl. A. Smith, and both went
out to the vessel. On going alongside,
the mate ordered them not to come
on board. The sheriff told him who
he was, and that he had better not
have any trouble, that he had a war
rant for the mans arrest. The mate
replied that he did not care a conti-
mental damn; he could not come on
board Sheriff Smith then began to
climb the ladder, when the mate
pulled large revolver and told him
to get off the ship. Sheriff Smith
kept advancing in the face of
a revolver pointed at him and
managed to reach the deck OF the ship,
where he placed the mate under ar
rest, on two charges of assault and
battery. When the constable went
ashore to get assistance the man for
whom he had warrant had skipped
O'Conner is out on $500 bail to ap-
pear before Justice May this morning.
If the charges are proved, the mate
should be severely dealt with, as il is a
very serious thing to interfere with a
sheriff or constable in the discharge of
his duties.

4 RaiIrOader's Opinion.

Col. Paul Z. Mohr, the vice presi-
dent and chief engineer of the Lake
Shore, Seattle & Eastern road, passed
through the city yesterday on his way
from New York to Seattle. One of
the objects of Col. Mohr's visit to the
east was to effect consolidation of all
the railroads, building and projected,
north of the Columbia and west OF the
Cascade mountains, into one corpora
ton. This corporation would offer
liberal terms to all transcontinental
and other roads for hauling their cars
over its system between Portland and
Puget sound, and would, in Col.
Mohr's opinion, be a paying invest
ment. Col. Mohr was very reticent
in regard to the railroad situation in
the state of Washington, but there
seemed to be no doubt in his mind,
but that all the roads now being built
would be completed, although on ac-
count of the stringency OF the money
market in New York some delay will
be encountered in raising the neces-
sary funds.-P0rt!Gnd Journal, &c.

STRAIGHTENING IT OUT.
Correcting an Injustice to Cleveland Rock.
well.

On the 10th of last October The
AsToRIAN published the official report
of Cleveland Rockwell to Professor T..
G. Mendenhall, superintendent Z. S.
coast and geodetic survey, Washing
ton, d. c., regarding the crossing of
Young's bay by the bridge of the As
toria and South Coast Railway com
pany, and made editorial comment
thereon, quoting from his report as
received and published.
One paragraph animadverted UpOn
by this paper was as follows:
1 am unable to give the present depth
of water in the channel, as developed by
the survey / have Just completed for the
lack of time to make the soundings.
On the End of this month the editor
of THE AsToRIAN received a letter
from Mr.. Rockwell, stating that The
AsToRIAN had incorrectly published
his report, and that in that report, the
words, "a plot Of" were omitted after
the word make" in the above extract.
so that it should have read ''to make a
plot Of" etc.
The report as received from Wash
ington had been preserved in The AS
TORIAN Office, as are all important
communications, and upon compari-
son, The AsToRIAN's printed report
was found to be exactly correct. A
copy furnished the Astoria and South
Coast Railway company, and another
to the Astoria chamber of commerce.
were found to be exactly as the one
received in this Office, and a reply was
written to Mr.. Cleveland so stating.
All this is lengthy but necessary
preface to the statement that last eve
ming the editor of THE AsToRIAN re-
ceived from the U. s. coast and geo.
detic survey Office at Washington, d.
O., an affidavit from Miss Kate Lawn,
the official stenographer, who under
date of Nov. 18th, and under the seal
and certificate OF B. A. Colonna, sol
emnly asserts that she made mistake
in copying Mr.. Cleveland's report, and
that the words "plot of were in his
report as filed in that Office. as claimed
by him in his letter OF Nov. 2.
This statement is published as a
simple act of justice to Mr.. Rockwell,
who was the victim of o grave mistake
on the part of the Washington, ID. O.,
copyist, and the episode illustrates
two things: first, that a newspaper
must always be able to prove what it
says, as The Historian was in this
instance, and, second, that too much
care cannot be exercised by copyists
at Washington and elsewhere.
