The resolution introduced IN the
United States Senate by Senator
Teller, of Colorado, that hereafter
all presidential nominations be con-
sidered IN open session." Is oEe which
at first blush, will commend itself to
the public. The American people
are such lovers of fair play, that 4
star chamber is repugnant to their
ideas. Too many matters are now
considered by the senate behind
locked doors, yet We, for one, do not
deem it wise for nominations to he
inspected and discussed before the
public, not because we believe that
the public has no right in the matter,
but because we are apprehensive that
many of the senators would not per
form their duty if their actions were
open to the full scrutiny of the pub
lie.
Many senator would refrain from
expressing his opinion, if he thought
there was q chance of his statements
being questioned. Senators in this
regard are only human, and no more
like to be held to account for their
utterances than any other man In
the matter of confrmations of ap-
pointmeEts they should not be
hampered OF trammelled. Senator
Teller's resolution, IN our Judge
ment, is unwise and inopportune,
and doubtless done in the spirit of n
demagogue, and he no more cares for
the wishes of the people, than did
Charles the First.
Unless the senate has perfect free
dom in the matter of presidential ap-
pointments, there is a likelihood that
many inferior men will be appoint
ed. The president often times hears
but one side, and the statements
come in most instances from friends
of the party soliciting the appoint
ment, so that it is impossible for the
executive to know whether the nom
ination is proper one or not. With
the senate it is different; they are
better enabled to calculate the fitness
of man; they have better opportu-
mites to investigate the charges pre-
ferred- Thrown open this matter to
the public and who at once enable
them to lobby and bribe mans con-
tirmat'on through. Under the pres
ent system no man knows who his
friend is in the senate, consequently
there isnot much opportunity for
corruption.
Let well enough alone. We can
not see what is to be gained by the
passage of Senator Teller's resolu-
| ton.

Henry George is in England and
there is disposition on the part of
some of the Radical members to take
up his doctrines and help to spread
them among the working classes.
The Times throws cold water on
them, taking the view that they
come as near spoliation as anything
that has been proposed by a man
with character to lose since the
French revolution" When Henry
George was in Ireland two years ago
Michael Davitt took up his land doc
trines, but they were frowned down
by the Nationalists, and Mr.. Davitt
soon acceded to Mr.. ParnelPs re-
quest that he should let them severe
ly alone. The Duke of Argyle made
vigorous reply to Henry Georges
arguments, but it was pretty gener-
ally conceded that in the discussion
which ensued Henry George was
able to hold his own, if not in regard
to the economic principles involved,
at any rate in regard to the clear
ness Of his contentious and the in
cisiveDess of his references to the
Dukes Scotch estates. Any doc
trine which holds out to people the
likelihood of their getting what they
have not got, always commends IT.

it is very different in the caee of
those who are to be the loser, and
however much men without property
may contend that AL property is |
they take good care to hold |
on to it when they become property |
owners. The advocacy of the land |
doctrines has been profitable thing
for Henry George, but he does net |
seem to have made a fair division
with Father McGlynp, if tha clever
priest is to be relied on. Ho 8p-

To- STEE>@THES TtIG- PARTY.

Since the i,h of March pubic al,
teuu Ii has been daily directed to |
the unprecedented pressure brought |
to bear upon President Harrison by
the seekers for Federal offices. Such
vast multitudes Of eager applicants
for places have never before invaded
the capital or swarmed through the
departments, and with no exceptions
they are OF the class called practical
politicians. In no case is the name
Of any one mentioaed for this posi-
ton or that for the reason that he i
the fttest man to discharge its du-
ties; the plea of every petitioner Is
10 the effect that he is and has been
q good and loyal Republican, and as
such has doEe the party service.
There is to be, apparently, no other
recommendation considered. The
spirit of Flanagan, of Texas, is that
of every aspirant for office; and it IS
freely given out that, If the seekers
for place are disappointed, they will
know the reason why Never since
the last term of President Grant
was it so generally accepted as a
finality that the offices We're really
spoils, and that the civil service re-
| form was as dead as the proverbial
door nail. They do not stop to jest
alone, or to sneer at It; and already
the patriots, after only a fortnight,
are showing signs of the utmost i'm
patience, and expressions of anger
and denunciations of the Admins
tration for its slowness in moving
against the democratic incambents
are growing as common as blackber-

Two Lorfns Hearts OF Their Base.

"Helen,' he said, as they launched
out on the tobaggan slide, how lovely
it would be il in all our lives we could
move swiftly and TRANQUILITY along?
But Just then the tobaggan swerved
against the side of the track. 1t turned
on lis beam ends, and the two lovir@
hearts were shot into the air. The young
man came down first, making cushion
for his beloved, and tosetherthey swirled
along the ice. The young man imPa-
tIently muttered the first syllable OF his
adored ones name, and came to the con-
clusion that If life was altogether Ike

Natural Gas

People often talk OF the advantages C!
natural gas as a fuel without having an
adequate idea OF its Importance. 1t is
to-day the greatest commercial wonder
OF the age. No one can ponder over the
following figures without being deeply
impressed: It il only fifteen years ago,
says the editor OF Stoves and Hardware,
published at ST. Louis, that natural cas-
was first used as fuel, yet to-day there
is required to pipe it 27.350 miles Of
mains. In Pittsburg alone 500 miles
supply 4, sos private houses, forty iron
mills, thirty-seven glass works, eighty
three foundries and machine shops, and
422 miscellaneous and industrial estab-
lishments An idea OF its value rs fuel
can best he obtained when the value OF
100000 tons OF coal is annually dis
placed by natural gas. An idea of the
effect of retarded production has in adj
vancing prices can be seen in the shut
down movement in oil production

HEADED FOR YAKIMA.

Yakima Herald: 1t is generally
understood that Yakima commands
she key, geographically, to the rail
road situation to the northwest, and
that railroads from the east and
southeast seeking an outlet on Puget
Sound can find an advantageous
route and an economic grade through
Yakima. So fully are the settlers of
the great country conversant with
these facts that the knowledge that
John I. Flynn, of Portland, was
here as the representative of COM
psny proposing to build a railroad
from Umatilla to North Yakima, Gre
ated no surprise. Mr.. Flynn came
here quietly, and, after interviewing
city officials and well posted citizens,
said that he was the representative
Of Portland and Omaha capital, and
that the road would be built, provid-
ing bonus of 100000 in land was
given by North Yakima.
The plan, according to Mr.. Flynn,
is to build road from Umatilla, the
junction of the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
tion systems, thence through the
Horse Heaven country, and enter
the Yakima valley at a point near
Prosser. An application for author
ity to build bridge across the Co
lumbia river at Umatilla has already
been forwarded to Washington. The
distance from Umatilla to the lower
end of the Yakima valley Is about
fifty miles, and from this point to
North Yakima about the same dis
tance. 1t is the intention to build
into the valley, but whether the line
will be extended to the city depends
entirely on whether the bonus is
raised. It has not yet been decided
whether to cross the Yakima river
near the entrance to the valley and
Dulld 10 what IS known as the bunny
side country, or to parallel the
Northern Pacific through the Yaki-
ma Indian reservation to North Yaki-
ma. The intention is to occupy the
Natchez pass and develop the vast
coal fields at the base of the Casca des
in that vicinity. Tne distance from
North Yakima to the coal fields,
which are simply continuation of
-she Roslyn mines, is about forty
miiesr~aaising the distance traVersed
