Several of our citizens have availed
themselves of the opportunity of con-
versing to-day with Mr.. Noltner, who
lately returned from Washington City,
and who has been before the congress
sional committee of Ways and Means
in regard to an appropriation for a
portage railroad from this point. Mr..
Noitner says he believes the committee
will report favorable to the project;
but it is difficult to say that congress
will sanction this expenditure. The
Oregomiam to-day had an able editorial
on the subject, and takes, what we deem,
the correct view when 1t said the state
should build this portage. 1t will be
impossible to procure an appropriation
for $43l, 900 for the portage railroad
from the lower house, and if it were
passed such q measure would he de-
feated in the senate. But, If This
bill were passed, it would un-
doubtedly kill the amount in. the River
and Harbor bill for the locks There
is one possible way for this portage
road to be constructed, and that is by
the state. If Gov. Pennoyer would
call special session of the legislature,
we have no doubt such a measure
would receive an almost unanimous
vote. 1t Eould be exceedingly un-
healthful for members of either party
to oppose it, if they desired future
political favors.

The Hawaiian Cable.

WASHINGTON, Feb. TO- 1t is decided
by the navy department to make another
line of soundings before definitely decId
ing upon route for the proposed sub
marine cable between San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands. This CONCLUSION
was reached after an examination of the
full report, just received here, of the two
lines recently completed by the fish com.
mission steamer Albdtr0ss. Many ire
gularities, ranging from normal to sub
marine mountains two and half miles
in height, were found in these two lines.
Orders were telegraphed yesterday to
Lieutenant Commander Tanner, of the
Al5atrOss, at San Francisco, TO get bis
vessel ready at once for making a new
survey. A new line will be run on a
great circle, starting at or near PoiEt
Conception, in California, to the island
of Hawaii. Experts in the photographic
Office, who have kept careful record of
all souudings made, expect more level
line on the great circle which 1t is now
proposed to run. The work already
done, they say, indicates the possibility
of line comparatively uniform and at an
average depth of about three miles.

Hon. James G. Blaine is not cand
idate for president, as the following to
Chairman Clarkson, of the Republican
committee, will verify: ~ am not q
candidate for the presidency, and my
name will not go before the Republi-
can national convention for nomina-
tion. I make this announcement In
due season. To those who have ten
dered me their support, owe sincere
thanks, and am most grateful for their
confidence. They will, I am sure,
make an earnest effort in the approach
ing contest, which is rendered es-
pecially important by reason of the
industrial and financial policies of the
government being at stake. The pop
ular decision on these issues is of great
moment and will be of far reaching
consequence"

Blaine's Letter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Senator Stanford
was free in his avowals on the subject of
Blaine's letter. "The withdrawal of Mr.
Blaine," he said, "makes there nomination
of President Harrison certain. He is the
strongest man in the party today, and Mr..
Blaine was the only real competitor for the
honor he had. There is no doubt he will be
dominated, though Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal
will leave the way open for many fresh as
pirants for the place. some of whom may be
heard of in after years. Mr.. Harrison's ad-
ministratlon has been clean, strong and
popular. He will invite no opposition, though
few disappointed ofice-seekers may now
think they are against him.
"Will your name be presented to the Re-
publican convention?" was asked.
"Not with my permission. am not can
didate for any place, and wish you would
announce it."
"Will you try to have your land-loan bill
incorporated in the Republican platform, as
has been said?'
81 will fight for that bill whenever and
wherever can, in the convention or in the
senate anywhere, in fact"

Senator Hill, formerly governor of
New York, who will undoubtedly Sc
cure the support of Tammany for the
Democratic nomination, acts the part
of red hot shot in the camp of our
friends, the enemy, and there is
weeping, wailing and gnashing of
teeth" Of course to get the electoral
vote of the empire state, which num-
bers thirty-six, Tammany must. be
harmonized, and this cannot. be ac-
complished with Cleveland as the
candidate. Our Democratic friends
must swallow the dose, however bitter
it may be, and obey the hehests of the
corrupt ring in New York City.

We have frequently spoken in these
columns of the eligibility of Hon. w.
r. Ellis as candidate for congress in
the second district, and to day we have
received notice of the candidacy of
Hon. J. B. Eddy, of Pendletop.
Without retrating one word we have
said in favor of Mr.. Ellis, we can
truly and conscientiously say regard
ing Mr.. Eddy, whom we have known
for several years, that no one would
represent the Inland Empire better
than he would. He has been identl-
fed with the interests of this region
for long time, and is conversant with
our needs, and would faithfully advo-
cate them in the halls of congress. If
he is favored with the nomination we
car heartily suppor him, as we would
Mr.. Ellis.

Last evening the first movement
was made towards inaugurating the
campaign on the part of Republicans,
in the formation of club, with con-
stitution and officers. During the
last presidential campaign the over
whelming majority which Oregon
wired back in June was largely owing
to the effectiveness of the Republican
clubs, and this year it will be the same
if there is harmonious action in the
ranks of the party. There is no rea-
son to believe this will be otherwise,
as the great principles at issue demand
united action on the part of those who
believe in continuing the well-tried
policy of the party of patriotism and
protection,

CHICAGO, Feb. 11-Tegima, the repre-
sentative of the mikado of Japan, ap-
peared before the South Park COM
missioners today and laid before them a
remarksble offer on the part OF the gov
ernment of japan. He told the board
that Japan wanted to put stone building
In jackson Park, lay out Japanese
gardens all round it, fill the building
with rare works of art, and then give
everything to the city of Chicago.
Tegima also SAID that the government of
japan would vote an annual appropria.
tion to keep up the building and gardens.
That was all he said. President Donners
berger asked Tegima to put his offer on
paper. and Tegima nodded assent. The
building and gardens that the govern
ment OF Japan proposes to give to the
city of Chicago will be part of that
governments display at the worlds fair.
The sum of 100000 will be spent for the
building, which is to be reproduction
of one of the historical structures of the
Flowery Kingdom.

An Internal Lie.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Sec'y Blaine
had conference with the president this
morning regarding trade relations with
Canada AS he was leaving the White
house a representative of the press showed
him the published statement that he
was about to retire from the cabinet.
He read it slowly, and then said with
deliberation: "It is entirely false. There
ls not a word of truth in it. These
stories are being circulated by idle
persons who have nothing better to do,
and ask you to deny them in the most
positive terms as the statement is an in
fernal lie." Questioned as to other
rumored changes in the cabinet, Blaine
said: II do not know anything about
them. I suppose these rumors were
started by the same men who set afoat
the one about me. There seems to be no
foundation for them"

Drunk and Rahhed.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 1t-Dexter Nc
Clure. rancher from Big Bend, was
found in the Glen Ellen saloon on Main
street, this morning in an unconcious
condition. DR.. Webb, the county physi-
clan, was called, and on making an ex-
animation stated the man had been
drugged. 1t was several hours before
the man could be resuscltated, when he
became violently Ill and YVES removed to
the hospital. Efforts to discover the
perpetrator of the deed have proved un
availing. As soon as Mcclure recoy cred
consciousness he told Chief Mer,z that he
came in from Keardon Monday with
about one hundred and fifty dollars. He
visited saloons and got so drunk he did
not notice whether any one robbed him
or not. DIR. Webb thinks he was given a
dose of morphine, as the symptoms
showed morphine poisoning.

believed to be known. Seventeen

He said that every inch of the debris had

1t is to be lamented for the sake of
the Democratic party that famine and
pestllence did not follow the passage
of the Mckinley tariff bill; but as
prosperity and good times have been
the general rule our friends, the enemy,
have very little material with which
to inaugurate an aggressive campaign.
Of course, they can fall back on their
old stock in trade, and resort to ridicule
and sarcasm. But this will not change
the aspect of affairs, and make the
people less desirous of continuing tie
safe economic policy of the Republi-
can party.

Female NihIlists In sroaklyn.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Interest in the
murder Of hrs. Frcorick A. Boschinsky
AID her 4.year-od son, Issac, at 35 Moore
street, Williamsburg, TWO months ago,
has been revived by a rumor that the
police of Williamsburg are working on
the theory that the murder was com
mittcd by female nihiIists. 1t has been
known for many years that there are
several hundred nihiiists in that part of
Brooklyn. 1t IS said that Mrs. Bosch
insky was put TO death by woman, be-
cause of Information she is alleged to
have sent from time to time TO her
parents and friends in Russia. and which
has put the relatives of the so called
Williamsburg Dihihsts in Russia to a
great deal OF trouble with the govern
ment. The police deny they are working
on aEy such theory.

GARFIELD, Wash, Feb. 11-A compli
cation in the town government has arisen
that may yet be carried into the courts.

members of the council were chosen to
take the place of R. C. McCroskey, A.
OVERLY, and E. W. Williams, whose

sonsulted several lawyers who say he can
hold his seat. The matter came before
the council last night, but action was

CAPTAIN SCHLEY.

We have received marked copy of
the Washington Post, in which an
elaborate account is given of banquet
given by MIR. ]. B. Montgomery-who
is in Washington City lobbying for an
appropriation for deep channel in
the Columbia from Astoria to Port
land-to Capt. Schley of the Bati-
more, in which he introduced the hero
in eloquent terms. s8Among his ex-
pressions which may adorn the Eng
lish language we quote the following:
81 submit there can be no danger arise
from military or naval spirit such as
we exhibited. The country that loses
that spirit is on the road to dusty
death aud oblivion; it is on its way to
take its place with those peoples of
Asia end the east which at one period
of their histories produced the great
Cyrus, the greater Alexander, and the
greatest captain of them all, Hannibal,
the son of Hamilcar." The pith and
point of these sentences can be easily
understood by Americans, and especial
ly by the friends Of the seamen who were
butchered by a mob of Chilian mon
grels in the streets of Valparaiso, or
those on board the war ship who could
not 90 ashore for several days after
wards without extra protection, and
which has caused all the trouble be-
tween the United States and the little
South American republic. We cannot
conceive in what light Capt. Schley
can pose as hero. If he had acted
like Capt. Ingraham, when he cleared
his decks for battle against the whole
Austrian fleet because an American
raturalized citizen was unjustly de-
prived of his liberty, we should feel
like taking of our hat and hurrahing
for his grit and patriotism. As it is,
with one of the best ships in the navy
in his command, to lie idly in the har-
Dor of Valparaiso while Americans
were butchered by mob and the
police, without making the least pro-
test, we are inclined to the opinion
that Capt. Schley's conduct should re-
ceive the condemnation of court
martial rather than the eulogy of
champagne banquet.
1t is not agreeable to US to criticise
the language used by Mr.. Montgom-
cry; but the expression "dustY death"
strikes US as strange and peculiar.
Aside from the alliterative sound we
cannot understand its true meaning,
and believe Mr.. Montgomery would
cast greater effulgence upon the COM
munity as railroad contractor and
Alb;na real estate boomer than as the
toast master of banquet to the hero
of the Baltimore, in the late difficulty
with Chill.

The prospects for victory for the
Republican party the ensuing campaign
were never brighter than at pres
ent. Every act of the present admin
istration has resulted in benefit to the
nation, and its credit abroad has never
been better, or greater confidence felt
at home in its permanency. Pursuing
policy of America fer Americans, it
has given frmness to its relations with
foreign nations, and has infused
strength and vigor into home enter
prises and industries The diplomacy
of the state department has amlcably
settled differences with Italy and Chill,
and the flag of the United States is
more respected to-day than it ever
was before. Passing through the cru
cial test of experience, the Republican
party has firmly established its reputa-
ton as the true friend to the best in
terests of the country, and upon whom
the greatest reliance can be placed in
every emergency. With such glor-
ious history in the past quarter of
century the party of protection and
patriotism should possesses many ad-
vantages in the coming campaign.
There are vital questions to be de-
cided at the ballot-box, and it is not
probable that the people will decide in
favor of a change in the monetary
system or economic policy so success
fully followed. There is no reason
that November, 1892, will not be as
disastrous to Democracy and its ex-
pedients ss 1884 was. With eligible
candidates, and there are several,
when the electors decide at the ballot
box on the great questions now agitat-
in the people, that verdict will be
in favor of continuing the safe
and certain policy pursued by Repub-
lican administrations. But the con-
test will be waged 6ercely, and Re-
publicans must not be afraid to spread
broadcast their views on the tariff and
other subjects.

The criticism IN the communication
from White Salmon, published in these
columns yesterday, we endorse in this
particular, that it is unfair In class of
persons to blame others for an act that
under similar circumstances they would
do themselves. Ii 1t was an outrage
on the community for the Union Pa
cifc to tie up the Baker last winter
because river traffic was not paying ex-
penses, it is equally wrong for the d.
rectors of the Regulator to stop that
boat this season for the same cause.
We have always favored opposition
boats on the Columbia river, and be-
lieve the enterprise should be supported
by producers and shippers: but river
towns that have no other convenient
means of communication with market
