What Prominent Wen say.

Postmaster Joseph II. Maney of Angus
ia, Me, who is popularity supposed to stand
about as near Mr.. Blaine, politically. as
anybody. regards Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal
as final. In his judgment Mr. Blaine
would not, under any circumstances. even
if he was nominated bv acclamation. accept
the nomination. Continuing Mr. Manlrv
said: "The decision of Mr. Blaine is a
matter of profound regret to me. had
hoped To see him the president of this re-
public. | desired it for no personal rea-
sons, but because believe Mr.. Blaine to
be the ahlest statesman in America. \
large number of citizens believe, what they
know, that Mr.. Blaine was elected in 1854.
The desire to right this great wrong would
alone have been sufficient to elect Mr.
Blaine. No man ever lived before who
twice declined a nomination for the prcsi-
dcncv when the nomination meant an cleo
ton.
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge said: "Of
course | do not know what Mr. Blaine's
personal and private reasons may be for
taking the course he has taken. Although
he seems to be perfectly well, think he is
unwilling to endure the great strain of
a presidential contest. OF course Mr.
Blaines withdrawal will be a great disap-
pointment to the masses of the Republic
can party who have been looking for his
nomination, and desiring it with the most
extraordinary manimity'

There is nobody who can win against

Foraker is quoted AS saying: Somebody

The same can be said of the presidency
and especially of Mr. Blaine. who has twice
refused it. We would have had an easy
victory with Blaine: We may have hard
fight, but it will bc a triumphant one with
Harrison
Among the Republican senators and as
scmbymen of the New York legislature
the impression was universal, when Mr.
Blaine's letter had been read. that his
withdrawal means the denomination of
President Harrison beyond reasonable
doubt

Webb says in a despatch to the Boston
journal; "There have been two elements
of doubt in connection with the Blaine
letter of withdrawal. They were, first,
whether the letter is to be regarded as a
tinality, and, second whether or not it was
the result of any action or intimaton on
the part of President Harrison. The events
of today have made it clear that Mr.. Blaine's
letter is to be taken as a sincere decara-
tion on his part that he is not to be re-

Treasure in Trees.

A San Bernardino dispatch states that
about two weeks ago wood-chopper,
named Jones, took a contract to top
some trees on street in that city. Sat
urday he returned to the place to bring
away clip-ladder, left when the work
was completed. Noticing that one of
the trees needed additional trimming he
climbed the tree for that purpose
When he reached the fork of the tree he
discovered tin can, which on being
opened was found to contain 5000. Look
ing over into an adjoining tree he saw
another can, which he secured and
which was found to contain the same
gum. There were no cans in the trees
when he topped them, and who placed
them there is a mystery.

Havoc on the Northern.

FRIDAY nights storm seemed to rage
with greatest fury along the backbone of
the Cascade range, and all travel on the
Union and Northern Pacific railroads
was tied up. Bridge No. Is, A miles
east of Tacoma, has been washed away
and serious damage done. Only short
portion of the roadbed has been washed
out, and if the weather continues good
until this morning, with the large force
of men employed on the work, the dam
age can be repaired and traffic resumed.
The portion of the road which has been
washed out gave the company great
deal of trouble last winter, and during
last summer large force of men were
engaged in making such improvements
as were necessary to prevent further
trouble, but the severity of Friday
nights storm was beyond all expecta-
ton, and the immense amount of water
which poured through the gorges was
sufficient to wash out very substantial
roadbed

canadian Pacific slide.

A Westminster dispatch gives an
account of the severest gale felt for
years along the line of the Canadian
Pacific. Trains were cancelled in con-
sequence of land and rock slides. The
torrents of rain which fell loosened an
immense mass of powders from the
bluff above the line near Hope station.
The great rock tumbled down on the
track, twisting the steel rails out of
shape, breaking the ties into spiinters
and ripping up the roadbed. An explo-
sion of dynamite could not have created
more havoc. When daylight came the
operator at Hope wired to Vancouver
for wrecking car, new rails, ties and q
gang OF men to repair the damage. An
effort was made to send the required
assistance, but the huge mud slide be-
tween Port Hammond and Port Hanley
blocked the line, and this obstacle had
to be removed first. The slide near
Port Hanley is said to be the largest at
the point in several years. A great
slice of the bank above the track broke
off and slipped over the line, burying
the rails for a distance of over 800 feet.
A gang of men was sent up from Van
couver and Westminster and set to work
bright and early to clear the way.

The Storm in Illinois.

Later information from Illinois shows
that the telegraph system is demoralized
throughout the Mississippi valley from
St. Paul to st. Louis. Along the Wa
bash line in Missouri over 100 miles of
poles are down. Railroad people say
the storm was one of the most peculiar,
as well as the most destructive, they ever
had to contend with. It appeared to
come up the Mississippi river to point
directly over the spot where Iowa joins
Illinois and Wisconsin. There the wind
seemed to gather renewed force, and
went whirling about in circle 100 miles
in diameter. The wind was accompanied
by rain, which, when the atmosphere
grew colder, turned to sleet and then to
snow.

RAIL BEARINGS AND ROADS.

Heavier Loads and Better Roads Sure
The advantages OF the baiff1 bearings
and pneumatic tires have been recog-
bicycles so long that the wonder is. not
that these friction saving devices have
been applied to track sulkies, but that
they were not utilized on all sorts of
vehicles long ago.
Wheels of the bycycle pattern can be
made as strong as necessary. The pneu-
matte tire passes easily over the uneven
surface of roadway, helping itself over
distractions by its elasticity, and it is
said to be better than springs for max
ing a vehicle ride easy.
It is estimated that the com bination
of ball bearings and pneumatic tires
added two to three seconds to Nancy
Hanks speed by lessening the draught
of her sulky. A gain of such large
percentage in lightness of draught will
be appreciated by owners of good road
sters, and now that their attention has
been called to it the time cannot be far
distant when they viii want pneumatic
tires and ball bearings on their buggies.
The pneumatic will not reach the farm
wagon, for it cannot stand rough usage,
but there would seem to be no reason
why the ball bearings should not be ap-
piled to vehicles of that class, in freight
ing, for instance, on Inland Empire
roads. The change would work great
saving in horsefesh and in time, for it
would make possible the hauling of
heavier loads. With the march of these
improvements will come better roads.
This is the age of wheels. and the gentle
man driver, the farmer and the bicyclist,
will soen be in league for improved high
ways in city and country alike. THE
CHRONICLE favors the proposition in
every shape, even to Albert A. Popes

presidents cabinet at Washington. Cal

LET THERE BE LIGHT.
The old-Time Decree About to be
Counteracted.


Ever since the motor line company
have commenced putting in the incandes-
cent electric lights in stores and houses,
at Astoria, says the Examiner, thesWest
Shore mills company have entered a
vigorous protest. The motor company
are putting in lights for fifty cents per
month, but do not furnish renewals.
The West shore mills company have
been charging 80 for twelve O'Clock
lights and So for all night lights and fur
nish renewals free. 1t is claimed by
the West Shore company that the motor
company are given an unfair advantage,
and are allowed to put in lights from
their car circuit wire which is only
twenty feet from the ground, while they
are compelled to place their wires fifty
feet from the ground. They further
claim that if they are allowed to place
their wires at the same distance as the
motor line, they can put in lights just as
cheap.
They also claim that the action of the
motor company in running lights from
their trolley wire is in direct violation of
all wires for electriclight purposes shall
be placed at a certain distance from the
ground. This morning the West Shore
mills company swore out a warrant in
the police court against Mr.. Hendricks,
the electrician of the motor company,
for violating the ordinance, and he was
arrested. The motor company also or
dered five hundred lights to fill orders;
many of them were to be used for ilIum-
mating purposes of the democratic dem
onstration tonight, but as soon as they
arrived on the dock the U. P. company
were notified by the Thompson, Hous-
ton company, not to deliver the same.
This action was caused by a notice from
the West Shore company, that if they
We're delivered they would withdraw
their patronage and the result of the
war will be watched with interest, and
the probable result will be to reduce the
price of lights in the city.

the election the democracy held out lot

New YoRK. Nov. 21.-Henry Clews,
in discussing the election in connection
with speculation on Wall street enter
tains the view that owing to the differ
ences in party anu economic standpoints
from which the new situation is con-
sidered, there is much difference in
opinion as to the outcome and the drift
of affairs during the interim preceding
the promised new legislation; and this
conflict of views begets some confusion
and uncertainty. As usual, under the
uncertainties attending a new set of
conditions, Wall street is disposed to
discount the worst probabilities, but
also counts upon a second operation
based on the reaction that comes later
from appreciation of the favorable
factors in the problem.
The situation will have it's encourage
ments as well as it's discouragements.

will have the near prospect of getting
them free OF duty, and openings for

most favorable sense the disappoint-
ment and apprehensions of one class with
the hopeful expectations of another, and
even conceding that the final outcome of
the great change may prove as bene-
fetal as its promoters predict, it is not
to be concealed that the best we may
reasonably expect, for the next eighteen
months or two years, is unusual caution
in every branch of business, the de-
ferment of new enterprises, the cessation
of extending industrial plants, coutinu-
Gus pressure on prices and hand-to-
mouth condition of business. 1t is to
be remembered, however, that those
conditions will be mainly confined to
the industrial portion of the popula
ton; the agricultural half in the mean
time will reap the benefits of two success
siye years of great harvests and, it is to
be inferred from their votes, win be ex-
hilarated by the prospect of cheaper
living and cheaper labor.

1t is we'll for the Democrats of this
community to understand early in
the approaching campaign that Mr..
Charles A. Dana, editor Of the San,
newspaper, proposes TO carry out his
accustomed method Of fighting the
regular Democratic nominee for the
Presidency, in the hope of electing
he Republican candidate, as has been
lis custom in all elections sirce his
personal friend, Samuel J. Tildcn, ran
or the Office. Mr.. Dana has been
convinced all along that all the chances
were in favor of Grover Clev, Gland S
receiving the nomination, and there
fore he has made it appear that he has
some cause for hating Cleveland per
Sonally, so that this shall be an excuse
for working for the Republican candi-
date when the time comes. As mat
ter of fact, Mr.. Dana has no reasons
whatever for hating Mr., Cleveland,
except that the latter is an honest tar
if reform Democrat. Mr.. Dana is a
high tariff Republican, and will CON-
bat any man, unless he be Tammany
spokesman, who is opposed to the
principles of that class of partisan.
The public should not lose sight Of
the fact that the San is Republican
newspaper in national politics and a
Tammany organ locally. 1t is, in
fact as regards its politics, the most
hypocritical and despicacle sheet from
Maine to Texas, and it is a comph-
ment to Grover Cleveland and to his
Democratic integrity that he is so cor
daily hated and bitterly opposed by
its editor. -Toon Topics.

The battle in Rhode Island on
Wednesday was hard fought one,
The vote was the largest ever cast in
the state. For Governor the vote was
as follows Wardwell democrat, -,
o72 Brown. republican, 25,IS7; Bur
ton, peoples party. I76 Gilbert, pro
hbition, I,4II. The state law re-
quires majority vote to elect, and as
there is no election BY the people, the
legislature will elect, and as that is re.
publican, the republican candidates
for state officers will be chosen.
The result is surprise to every
body and shows that there are several
thousand people in the state whom
party managers can never locate.
The total vote of Rhode Island is
only about $4,000. The republicans
carried the state in 1888 by 5.l7S plu-
rality, but the democrats had a plu-
rality in 1850 Of 4,4Io; in 1890, l.
500, and in 1891, I,254.

he laid before the grand jury and had

Doctor seems to have had a pretty

saw nude women dance the can can,
play leap frog, and he drank beer with
them. Perhaps the end justifes the
