Hon. A. G. Cleveland of White Pine
is in San Francisco in the interest of his
Air Line Railroad. He has lately been
East and in Denver and Salt Lake. His
present visit to California is believed to
have for its purpose a conference with
the newly formed Traffic Association Of
that State. 1t cannot be denied that
Mr.. Cleveland is making q strong effort
70 get his road started, whether be sue.
ceeds or not. The route he is working
for comes almost due west from Salt
Lake, passing through Cherry Creek and
Egan Canyon, down Long Valley to
Newark, and thence . few miles south Of
Eureka and out by Austin, West
Gate, Sand Springs, Saltwater and
Wsdsworth, and over into California by
the Beckwith Pass. The total distance
from Salt Lake to San Francisco by this
route is . little over 900 miles, or 3 little
shorter line than that OF the Central
Pacific. We understand that Mr.. Cleve.
land claims that the prospects are excel
lent for the beginning Of active work on
the Air Line in early Spring. But OBJ
stacles are to be expected at every turn,
and it will not do to become over san
guine until the dirt begins to fly. The
route from Austin to Salt Lake is about
as direct and practicable as there is to be
had, but from Austin west ii would be
more direct il il could cross the Sierras
further to the Southwark. The Beckwith
Pass. however. rs the very best in the
Sierra Nevada range. being 1000 feet
lower than any other between the Oregon
State line and Mexico, and avoiding en-
tirely the necessity for snow sheds on
any portion Of the route.

THAT MESSAGE OSCE MORE.

Now that the people have had time to
read Mr.. Harrison's message carefully
and critically its striking popularity be-
comes painfully conspicuous. 1t was very
evidently written by a prosecuting attor.
ney rather than q statesman.
One gets the impression that the Pres
ident was determined to have q war il
possible. From the beginning he has
talked Of war only. has been impatient
and has.y and as exssperating as the cir
eumstances would allow. He never ex-
pressed even the hope that aggressive
measures might be avoided.
Why so good q man allowed himself to
be wrought up to such q pitch is perhaps
hard-for some people-to understand.
II he had been successful, however, in
posing as the great and glorious defender
Of American rights. and persuaded us to
wipe out Valparaiso or capture Iquique,
the Republican Convention might have
felt it incumbent on them to give him
the nomination for q second term.
Far be il from us to intimate that Mr..
Harrison had this contingency in view.
He is altogether too patriotic and pious
to sacrifice the peace Of the country to
his personal ambition. We fly to his de-.
fence with great ardor, bat there are
wicked people in the world who do not
hesitate to look at the worse side-if
there is one.-N. Y. Herald.

NOT LICK Hur lUC 4.

The P.sssburg Dispatch seems to think
that Chicago is ruled by q lucky star.
She got the Worlds Fair and now she
has the Democrats Convention. This
lucky star theory, however, doesn't ac-
count for Chicago's success. The saying
that Heaven is on the side OF the heav-
lest battalions was one Of the cynicisms
Of Gibbon, but there is a good deal OF
truth in j. and it is applicable to the
present case. 1t wasn't luck that decided
where the Worlds Fair should be held.
Net a bit Of il. It was sheer pluck.
Chicago would never have won the prize
IL she hadn't hustled for il. She wanted

might she worked for il. The city
which could win against such odd was,
of course, the proper locality for 8
Democrats Convention. Apples don't
fall into a lazy mans lap nowadays, and
there is about as much luck in the
triumphs which are achived as there is
cream in q milkman's ans. Chicago is

sEyApA POLITICAL GOSSIP.

II Is now conceded that State Senator
Evan Williams, Of Ormsby. has given up
all idea Of entering the race for United
States Senator against Senator Stewart.
As q matter Of fact, IL is generally be-
iievsd that Senator Stewart will have no
opposing candidate in The Republican
party for . reelection. John W. Mscksy
and all Of the powers are said to be for
him. General Povniug and the Jones are
not enthusiastic Stewart men, bat all
hands will probably fall into line. A
good many Democrats feel kindly toward
Stewart because Of his course in aiding
TO defeat the Force bill in the last Con-
gress. In that instance he led of and
jumped squsrely across partisan and Ad-
ninistrstion lines for the good Of the
country. Il is not every public man
who will do . bold thing like this. and a

GLORY FOR HIN.

We see that Mr.. Cleveland is talking
Of writing = letter declining to be longer
considered as q Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. He might as well do il
at once. because there is no chance
whatever for him TO secure the nomina-
tion. But what q great and good man
he viii instantly become with the Re-
publican organs when the Democrats
have set him aside. We will be told all
through the Fall that the ex-President
was too pure in his methods 10 suit the
average Democrats, and his party had
no use for . man Of his matchless worth
and transcendent ability as statesman.
Mr.. Cleveland's reward is yet to come.
The laurels that he will be crowned with
by the Republican papers will be worth
more to his fame than another term in
the White House. He will never realize
himself how big and good be Is until the
Democratic National Convention has
failed to nominate him. Then he will
be ell that human imaginative genius can
conjecture in praise Of mortal man. Mr..
Cleveland 10 foolish to desire another
term. ALI he wants is for the Demo.
Gratis to command him to stand aside and
then allow the Republicans papers and
orators to proceed to build his monu-
ment. For patriotism, correct methods
in government, statesmanship and integ-
rity ii will be "a dandy" Cleveland
will never be estimated at his true worth
until be is out Of the fight.

GOLDBuG

When the Silver Convention met at
Denver last Fall q resolution was passed
by it asking Congress 10 take steps TO
render it possible for hydraulic mining
to be resumed in California. When the
hydraulic convention mel In San Fran.
cisco last week q number of Nevadsns
in the city suggested that it would be
fair and in good reciprocal taste for that
body to say something favorable to
the silver cause. There were q number
Of delegates favorable to silver, but
when they had counted noses they found
that a silver resolution would most likely
be defeated by the convention and refused
therefor to offer it. Aud this is about
what we may always expect Of Califor-
mia and Californisns. They are not with
us for silver. We have enriched them
by the operation Of our mines but there
is not q particle Of gratitude in them as a
people. In the last Congress all of their
representatives,. except Clunie, voted
against free coinage. FELTON,, McKenns
and others always voted against silver,
and still they have always been rs-nomi.
mated and reelected. It Isl mistake for
Nevada to expect anything from Cali
fornia. They regard Nevada as q sucked
orange. and want little more to do with
her. Our people should rstsliate as far
possible by establishing trade rela-
tions with the East. Especially should
our Senators not go out Of their way to
help a State in their local demands on
Congress that is uniformly opposed to
our interests.

man, but all of the rest Of the South
will be for Senator Hill. Mr.. Cleveland
has no possible chance for the nomins-
ton. As we have said before in these
columns be cannot get a delegate from
his own State. The New York delegs-
ton to a man will be for Hill. This,
with the South and West will nominate
him practically by reclamation. About
the only contest il the Democratic Ma.
