about the same vote as George, while
Clark Lewis has only four instructed
votes.
Speaking Of the result in Yazoo county
today the Clarion Ledger, strong sup
porter OF Barksdalc, says "The result
in fazoo is u great surprise to the friends
of Major Barksdalc. The county was
confidently claimed for him, and his fail
nre to carry it can only lie charged to the
weakness of the sub-treasury. Placed on
an equal platform he could have beaten
any man in Yazoo county outside of its
own citizenship"

him with eight children. He labors hard

work he will begin the family washing,
to be finished and hung on the line next
morning, the ironing to be done the
second night. He could not afford a

killed the bill as it was undoubtedly in
tended to. The scheme was Matched in
the house committee on railroads OF
which E. 0. Mccoy was member, and
Miller, as We have said, was chairman.
Both supported the amendment by long
speeches. Both speeches were crimi-
nally able, McCoy's especially is. We
never heard him talk SO and we have
heard him try to talk often. He was
eloquent. His neck swelled. He
vociferated. He paved the earth. He
carved the air. His voice rose and
fell in earnest cadence. For what
purpose? To get the legislature
to appropriate $125, 900 to build
scow to be used as a transfer boat, in the
year 20O1 when the general government
shall have built portage railroad
around the Dalles, which it never in
tends to build. The argument used by
10th Miller and Mccoy was that the
losses caused by frequent landings of
grain were so great as to rended port
age railroad practically valueless. Miller
stated and Mccoy echoed the sentiment,
bAeie W -AiAO tuc tOcS6s through waste DIV
one or two landings, increased these
losses in "geometrical progression and
that therefore transfer boat (that
would save one handling) was just the !
thing. They insisted that the road
could not be built on the Oregon side, |
for anything like the money appropri-
ated in the bill. These were the. men
that defeated the Dalles portage railroad.
Till the last moment it was the general
expectation that it would pass easily. /!
The most adverse opinion by those not
In favor of appropriatfng so large sum,
was "I'm afraid it will pass To saw
that Senator Raley did not wish it to
pass is simple nonsense. To say that
the democrats killed the bill is Just az
untrue as it would be to say that the re-
publicans killed it. 1t is sad to say it,
It is humiliating to confess it, but our
belief is that f. o. Mccoy backed by
Miller of Josephine did more to defeat
The bill than any other man. Why did t
ne do so? Alas! We wish we knew.

While the legislature was in session the
venerable Judge Williams, of Portland,
delivered very able lecture in one of
the Salem churches, one Sunday evening
proving, from natural phenomena, the
existence OF an Almighty Creator. Re-
ferring to the modern Darwinian craze
he used these words: eff an ambitious
monkey in some of the remote ages of the
past, and in some obscure corner of the
earth evoluted himself into man. is it
not marvellous, that amongst the millions
OF monkeys that have existed since then
not one has ever repeated the expert
ment?"

II the average man began to procure his
Christmas presents now for the 25th of
December next, midnight of the oath of
that month would find him with his most
important gifts still unbought; and un.

that no woman was ever wholly satisfied
with the presents she got. If they were
for her baby they were not good enough:
II they were for herself she had others

ECHOES OF THE LEGISL4TURE.

Nothing more absurdly false was eve,
Matched Ill the brain OF malice than the
effort to besmirch the legislative reputa-
tlon OF Senator Watkins by charging him
with being party to the defeat of The
Dalies and Cello portage railroad bill
II is well known the bill was introduced
IN the senate by Senator Raley of Una
tllla. We were present when If came
before that body on its final passage and
much to our surprise and delight it
passed without dissenting vote: even
senator Neach, ''the WATCHDOG of the
treasury, made stirring speech in its
iaVor. such was the temper of both
houses on all questions RELATING to the
opening of the Columbia river that the
friends OF the bill, with whom we were
IN constant communication, were filled
with constantly increasing hopes of it's
success till the moment it was nIaced on
It's final passage in the house. Mean
whlle joint committee of both houses
met like committee from the Wasbing-
ton legislature in Portland. Senator
watkins was chairman of this commit
zee 1t was instructed to report on the
feasibility, practicability, possibility
and probability" of concurrent action Of
both states. The constitutional dif6cuJ-
ties were found to be such that an ad-
verse report was imperative. No con-
current action was possible and Senator
watkins SO reported

The writer saw it and heard it fully read
1t dealt only with the question of CON
current action and never limited at anv
possible difficulty that might lie in the
way OF the roads being built by this
state on the Oregon side of the river. |
After the noon recess, when the bill was |
put upon its final passage, Miller of |
Josephine, chairman of house commit
tee on railroads, on the floor of the house
rejected on the clerk of the Joint COM
mittee, Col. E. w. Nevius, charging him
with sinister objects in Withholding the
committees report. When the colonel
heard OF this, he had Mr.. Miller called
out into the lobby, handed him the re-
port, told him it had been ready for the
previous four or five hours, and up
him for his hasty and ill-ad-
Versed remarks. Mr.. Miller returned to

made ample apology. The next act in
