HON. JOS. IL. EARLE.

Col. Earle has come out as a canli
date for Governor. We do not bc
llcvc there is man in the State who
has better record. The Journals of
the Senate and House show that he
has been an lnirumprUmiSing friend
OF the farmers movement. lie rep
rcscnts the platform on which the
economical element Of the State has
been Handing since 1882. He is a
man of fine ttelehts, sil ss''1 'w1c;il Informed,
firm and honest. He has never been
identified with what is commonly
called "thc ring" Col. Dargan, of
Sumter, is going to oppose the nonli,
nation of both Earle and Tillman.
without himself being u candidate.
Col. DarGan is a nice man. We rath-
er like him, bat somehow, we wish
that he had liked Texas well enough
to have staid there till this campaign
was over. We trust that Earle and
Dmgan will both keep cool, and that
principles not partics-mcn and not
will prevail.

A Diminutive Railroad Line.

One of the most wonderful railways
on the continent, if not in the world,
is the small nine-mile branch which
connects the towns of Bedford and
Belleview, Miss. The distance is not SO
astonishing, except where the gauge
of ten inches is considered. In the
short distance traversed by this pigmy
it crosses eleven streams, with bridges
from five to thirty-five feet in height.
The rails weigh but twenty pounds to
the yard, about the size of those used
in the mines of Nilsson and Illinois.
The cars and engines are constructed
so as to be very near the ground, in.
suring greater safety. The cars are
provided with single seats each side of
the isle. The car itself weighs but
four tons, the weight OF an ordinary
car being from twenty-four to twenty
six tons. The engine without the
tender weighs seven tons, and runs
with two passenger or freight cars at
the rate OF twenty miles an hour.
There is smaller railroad even
than this in the United States-the
one in Bucks county Penn.-but it is
only kept as an expensive toy by a
rich farmer who has made O fortune
in oil.

A Party Drunk With Power.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
History is repeating itself. In the
FOrty-frst, Forty-second and Forty
third Congresses the Republican ma
jorities shamfully violated every princi-
pie of representation in ejecting hon.
cstly elected members from their
seats. In some instances Republican
contestants who were overwhelmed
with defeat at the ballOt-box were ad.
mitted under the most frivolous pre-
texts. One contestant from South
Carolina, who received only a handful
of votes was admitted on the ground
that the Democratic member had not
had his disabilities removed. But all
these fraudulent devices for retaining
political power, so far from proving of
any avail, only intcstified popular
wrath and indignation. In 1874 the
Republicans succeeded in electing
less than two-fifths of the Forty-fourth
Congress. Some of their greatest
strongholds Pennsylvania, New York,
Massachusetts and elsewhere were
captured by the Democrats. Since
that time the Republicans have twice
only secured precarious majorities in
the House. But untaught by the les
sons of experience, their leaders in
Congress have rushed into repetition
of the worst partisan iniquties of the
past. Not only have they overthrown
the most sacred parliamentary prece-
dents, but they have not scrupled to
violate all the rules of evidence and
the demands of fair play in ejecting
Democratic Representatives from their
seats. The admission of Featherston
to the seat of Cate, from the First dis
trict of Arkansas, was as fragrant an
outrage upon the rights OF representa-
ton as ever was prepetrated in the
history of free government. 1t is evil
dent that the Republican leaders in
Congress are preparing their backs for
another castigatiOn like that admins
tered to them in 1874. All the signs
of the times indicate that they will
not be disappointed. If the people of
this country proverbially have short
memories, it is fortunate dispensa-
ton that the politicians forget quite as
readily.

Hawley's Estim ates.

Senator Hawley's statement of what
the Republicans intend to spend in
1891, the st. Louis Republic says, is
particularly rank.
He admits that they will probably
appropriate $455,OOO,OOO exclusive of
the direct tax for French spoliation
claims, new ironclads and increased
pensions, aggregating SCI 100000 for
the year. He estimates the total
revenues for the year at $459 ,OO0, 600,
and confesses that deficiency of from
S5,OOOOOO to $72, 100000, is probable.
Mr.. Hawley does not explain his
estimates of $3.50 100000 as the reve-
nue. of 1891, and some curiosity may
naturally be felt on that point which
it is to be hoped he will take early oc-
casion to crafty. The total ordinary
receipts from all sources for the fiscal
year 1889 were 1887 100000. The
actual and estimated receipts for the
fiscal year 1890 are given by Secretary
Window in his annual report at $685.
OOO,OOO and he estimates the ordinary
receipts for 1891 at the same figure,
which Mr.. Hawley estimates exceeds by
$65, 100000.
If the present Congress increases
tariff taxation so as to increase the
revenue thus far above that expected
by the Secretary of the Treasury at
the present rate of taxation and there
is still deficiency instead of a sur
plus, it will be as widely remarked as
it will be remarkable.
Our Republican friends are cutting
a wide swath. Between March 4th
and June 3Oth last year they increased
ordinary expenses $32 ,OOO, 600 without
the aid of their party majority in Con-
gress. The "tOtal net ordinary ex-
penses, including interest" were, un-
der the Cleveland Administration,
$242 ,OOO,OOo in 1885; $267 900 600 in
1888. 1t requires some strain on the
imagination to believe that expenses
can be raised from $267 100000 to
$3.50, ,OOO, 600 in three years, but Sena-
tor Hawley, as Republican Of large
standing, is doubtless capable Judge
of his party's possibilities.
There seems to be no way of stop
ping them at present. The Demo-
Gratis are tied under the Blocks of Five
rules, and the "Watch Dogs of the
Treasury" are no longer allowed to
make dilatory motions" when steal
is impending. 1t is an interesting
situation.

become presidential one and Morgan
will be re-appointed. H. M. Ingrams
will, upon the recommendation of
Senator Allen, be appointed post
master at Centralia which has just
become a Presidential Office. 1t was
the Senator's request that Representa-
tive Wilson relinquish all claim to
this appointment, owing to some mat
tiers which arose when Allen was q

On Saturday Eddie Castle, aged IL,
of Ellensburgh, while returning from

When found by his companions few
moments later the boy was dead.
Astorian: Walla Walla must be a
poky kind of place. About the time
the telegraph syndicate" was formed
the Union, of Walla Walla, con-
cluded to buy $500 worth, and
started in with few dispatches, the
idea being to try it. But a month
proved enough for the Union, and

Captain J. E. Higgins, of Tacoma,
has moved his shipyard to the mar
rows, four and a half miles directly
west OF Tacoma. and eight miles dis
tant by water. The new shipyard will
be one of the largest on the Sound,
and arranged to allow the construc-
ton of any kind of water craft from q
scow to a full-rigged ship. Captain
Higgins claims three very desirable
advantages for his new shipyard site
a sloping beach, sheltered position and
an abundant supply OF fresh water.
The negotiations are now being con-
cluded for the building of the dry
dock near the new shipyard. Work
will probably be commenced on it in
May.

Strength Of Warrington Lumber.

Representatives of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railroad, short
time ago ut Tacoma, tested thoroughly
the strength of fir timbers, for use in
bridge building. The results were very
satisfactory, and may be summarized
as follows: For the first test, dry fir
stringer, sixteen inches wide, eight and
three-quarters inches thick and twenty
feet long, was hoisted upon the hydrau-
lie jack. 1t had seen two and one
half-years' service in a Northern Pa
cific bridge and had been punctured
in ten or fifteen different places by
spikes. Power was applied and at
300 the piece Lroke. This indicated
a supporting strength of about II 900
pounds. The distance between the
girders was nineteen feet.
A dry fir stringer, SxlG inches, and
a l6-foot span was employed i'll the
second test. The stringer had been
for three years in a bridge located on
a frequently Travelled part of the
Northern Pacific railroad, and was as
dry as a powder-horn. The hydro
static gauge showed 1000 before signs
of weakness, and 4 300 when the crash
came. The fiber strain was II inches,
and the supporting strength about
As 900 pounds.
The extraordinary tensile strength
of green fir was demonstrated in the
third test. A piece of green timber s
x 16 inches and 15a-foot span was
used. The dial indicated 5000, with
Il inches DETECTION, and the fiber was
not injured. The jack refused to Ope-
rate, the pressure was relaxed and the
machine examined. A clogging Of
sawdust was removed and the jack
freshly charged with alcohol, when the
test proceeded. Pressure was again
applied to the same piece of timber
and $1,000 was shown by the dial
hand before the stringer broke, the de-
Election was 2! inches and the sup
porting strength about 10000.
Three more tests were made, and in
each instance the same satisfactory
result was attained. The Ledger says
this is the first thorough test that has
been made as the tensile strength of ma
tive fir. 1t demonstrates the fact that
Washington fir, which is almost mex
haustible in quantity, is superior to
the pine of Michigan or Wisconsin
and even exceeds the hard woods in
strength. Evidence of their durability
can be found on every hand.

ASSISTANT Secretary Chandler, of the
Interior Department, has sustained a
land office ruling, which cancelled the
homestead entry Of Lizzie M. Ordway,
of section Is, township %, range 2, Sc
attle district. The ruling is made on
the investigation Of a special agent
who reported that Miss Ordway and
r,.,cretta H. Hiscock were living in a
house built on dividing line between
two Claims, and the improvements
were built by all agent of the Port
Ma olson Mill Co. Apparently the two
claims we're of benefit to the company,
rather than bona fide hOmesteads.

THE latest and most unique inven-
ton is a machine for buttering bread
It is used in connection with a great
patent bread cutter, and is intended
for use in prisons, workhouses, and
other reformatory institutions. This
is cylindrical-shaped brush which is
fed with butter, and lays q thin layer
on the bread as it comes from the cut
ter. The machine can be worked by
hand, steam or electricity, and has
capacity OF cutting and buttering $50
loaves of bread an hour. The saving
of butter and of bread and the decrease
in the quantity of crumbs is said to be
very large.
