The .'Llfe of General Sherman,

The enterprising Pacific Publishing
Co, Of Portland and San Francisco, are
again to the front This time it is with
the Life of General Sherman written
by the deceased generals tellow-warrior
and bosom friend, Majcr General Howard

of Sitting Bull and the Indian War" al

is at all times ready to honor the memory
Of her brave sons, who during life have
followed the stars and stripes upon the
CORY field of battle and this is particu-
larly the case with the last Of the great
war heroes who has just been summoned
by the grim call Of death to throw off
this mortal coil, full ol years; full of hon
or; full Of glory; full oflove, affection and
gratitude of his fellow citizens; full of
everything, indeed, that goes to insure
us enviable Immortality to the memory
of the departed.
This beautiful work, just issued by our
friends, the Pacific Publishing Co.. will

many years to come the story of the late

and immortal 'Marcb TO the sea-" the
generalship and mi tary grandeur of
which has probably .var been surpassed
in the annals of warfare. All these
matters are most grahically and vividly
dealt with by the able authors; and when
it is remembered that General Howard
has, with the consent of the late General s
family, had access to all the private
diaries and correspondence of General
Sherman for the purpose of enabling him
to do justice to the subject he had taken
in hand, there can be no doubt but that

steel plate engraving of the late General,
from photograph taken just before his
last illness, in his generals uniform, is a
very fine likeness, and master piece of
the engraver's art.
The book should find its way into every
patriotic home in the country. See the

growth and prosperity?' This our peo-
pie are always ready to answer, for the
proof has been furnished in abundance
and beyond questiof of doubt, and the
verdict rendered. that the country sur
rounding Pullman is the most fertile
spot on the face of GoFs green earth for
the production of Grains. fruits and
vegetables. With thihi is also a set
tied fact that we ha% underlying this
fertile soil and within the corporate
limits of our city, rich coal field which
is soon to be developed, thus affording
another source Of comfort, convenience
and revenue which viii be the envy of
our sister towns.
We confidently prelict that the Pull
man Of 1895 will be fge times the Pull
man OF to-day in popglation and wealth.
Last but not least, of the improvements
we can now mention is the location of
the Agricultural College and Technical
school in Pullman, for which, if natural
advantages and the furnishing ofsuitable

by the commission appointed to locate
this institution, we have the best claim

which was presented last night for the
first time at the Park theatre, is a very
clever entertainment 1t is one of those
nondescript productions nowadays so
popular, possessing just enough of q

sition strongly reminded one of the "Tin

porous career. What slight thread
of the dramatic the play possesses
is ingeniously woven while the dia>
logue is bright and witty. The songs, of
which there is an abundance, deal with
familiar subjects, and. being catchy. are
likely to prove popular. The company is
admirably equipped for the varied de-
msnds imposed upon it. Alice Harrison
contributes the best of the little dramatic
talent required, and also sings and dances
with her old time attractiveness. Sheri-
dan and Flynn, who are responsible for
the Nc Ginty song, furnish some new songs
of the same order and an unlimited. fund
of humor. The rest of the cast is quite
up to the best average. Adequate stage
mounting gives the finishing 10 a really

THE NEW ELEcTIoN LAW.
A school for InsfrucsiDg the Voter in
the Recent statutary Provisions

the Recent srarutary Provisions
Suggested.
The last session of the legislature gave
the state of Illinois q new law regulating
the method OF casting the suffrages of
citizens. it being substantially the Aus
tralian plan. 1t is a complex method of
voting. entirely new to our people, and
on its first use is subject to some misun>
Outstanding both in the vote and in the
counting. 1t possesses great advantages,
however, in its secrecy, placing the full
responsibility of his choice on every voter
and preventing sll possibility of the bully
Raging of workingmen. The Moline
Republican Journal suggests that an ar
rangement be effected by both parties,
acting jointly, for conducting the form of
an election at some convenient point by
which representatives of every ward may
be educated in the new form of casting
the ballot and making the count.
Such an experiment could be made
nearly free of expense. The use of
some suitable place for holding sample
election is not difficult to secure, and the
printing of the ballots is inexpensive. All
candidates to be voted for are placed on
one ticket. The ticket is large. and It's
great array of names is confusing. Ev-
cry elector has to educate himself to the
idea. 1t is simple in theory, but not al
ways SO plain in practice. 1t would be
a great gain for the smooth. running of
the first election under the law if voters
could be in measure accustomed to the
proceedings before reg ular election
takes place.
But if the casting of the votes is com,
pick. the ascertaining of the result of the
voting is much more SO. 1t requires the
most palnstaking work of the counting
clerks and officers, and is long and la
borious undertaking. New questions
come up at every step, and it is puzzle
at first to know what should and what
should not be done. Hence it is impor-
tsnt that the officials and clerks ou whom
the duty of conducting the election is
likely to fall use every means to inform
themselves in advance. This can be done
by the plan proposed.
The smooth running of the nav law
cannot be expected on the first trial with
out making a special effort like this to
make its intricscies known and secure
uniform practice on certain of its details
The means indicated above are important
to this end, and wholly practicable.
