NOT AN ACCEPTABLE MOVE.

If the appointment of Judge Jackson
to the place made vacant by the death
of Judge Lamar should be confirmed, it
will make the court stand five republi
cans to three democrats, with two mem
bers OF the court, one over "a and the
other over ~, sure to retire within a
year or two. In this case, this demo-
erat appointed by Harrison would pro-
vide the democratic majority for the
court, thus putting at peril all the legis-
lation growing out of the war and de-
men believing in. free trade, southern
ideas and prejudices, and opposed to
the system of pensions to Union SOL
diers. The republican senators who OPP
posed the appointment will probably
try to prevent the confirmation, and it
appears to be strong probability that
they may succeed, unless advantage is
being taken of the custom of senatorial
courtesy" which discountenances delay
in action on the nomination of an ex
senator. The matter will be forced to
the front with promptness. If confirm
alton is secured promptly, it is expected
that the president will nominate Judge
W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, to succeed
Judge Jackson on the circuit bench.
The responsibility for the failure to NOM
mate republican is said to lie with
twelve republicans in the senate who
were determined to oppose any nomina-
tion proposed by the president. 1t was
at first his intention to nominate either
Judge Emory Speer or Judge Pardee.
On making inquiries among the repub
lcan senators, as to which would be the
most apt to secure ready confirmation,
he discovered there were about twelve
republican senators who would oppose
any confirmation, partly on account of
their personal antagonism to the presi-
dent and partly on account of their
desire to bring other matters to the
front in the senate.

An Illinois farmer named Kost, living
near Bethel, last month took a notion
into his head to test the relative quail
ties of wheat and corn as fat-producers
in hogs. He weighed twenty shoats
recently and placed value upon them
of six cents pound. He fed them on
wheat for seven days, keeping accurate
account of the amount consumed, re-
weighed the hogs noted the gain and
then put them upon diet of corn for
. similar length of time, keeping like
accurate account of corn consumed. He
weighed the hogs for the third and last
time and footed up the results. He
noted that the gain for the week the
animals fed on corn netted him rs cents
= bushel for the product consumed,
while during the week they were fed on
the wheat diet the gain was such az to
give him so cents for each bushel of
wheat fed. If these deductions should
prove true in all cases as it did in Mr..
Kost's, there is no use in farmers selling
wheat at from 80 to so cents bnshel
when by feeding it to the present high
priced hogs they can realize so cents,
and more, per bushel.

Mr.. Raley, in presenting his bill for
the construction Of the portage railway
at the dalles of Columbia, did not sup
port the bill with the strong arguments
that he presented two years ago, proba-
bly,, says the Oregonian, for the reason
that he did not think 1t necessary to
repeat what he said SO fully then; but
it was necessary, as the sequel showed,
for by many senators the subject had
not been considered more than super
ncially, if at all. But now, since the
vote has been reconsidered and the bill
taken from the table. it is hoped that
Mr.. Raley and other friends of the meas
ure will use in its behalf the arguments
which they are SO we'll prepared to ad-
vance. The bill ought to pass. West
ern Oregon ought to join hands with
Eastern Oregon in this matter so i'm
portant to both.

attendance was not very large, and consisted
mainly Of the members Of the three socie ties
and their friends.
The services were brief and simple and con-
sisted OF morning prayer according to the re-
vised Episcopal ritual. Rev. DR.. Hilliken read
the opening sentences Of the Lords prayer and
the choir sang the Benite. The 147th Psalm

Revolution had their outdoor celebration at the

large representation Of the school children OF
the city and by many citizens. Martial music
and the roar Of cannon helped give to the cele-
bration the ring Of 1776. Tho Oldest Inhabi-
tants and the Veteran Firemen had each their
appropriate meeting and then joined their
forces at dinner. Out at Mount Pleasant the
citizens gathered at Ingleside and mingled their
patriotic shouts, enjoying the day with sport
Of various kinds and listening to addresses.
Various organizations celebrated the day,
each according to its kind. The Takoma Gun
Club had a great day Of trap shooting. The
National Rifles shot at targets at the arsenal
range. The Y. NJ. @. A. athletes gathered on
their grounds. Everywhere people were bent
on amusement. Sometimes it took the form of
climbing creased poles. In some places the
more stately pleasure Of the tourney suited best
the tastes Of the people.

The small boy is usually as ungrateful as repub-
lies are asserted to be. 1t was noticed that the
small boy needed considerable assistance, in
the way Of setting of crackers, whistling
booms, devil-chasers and other devices gotten
up by ryrotechnists to satisfy the juvenile crav-
ing for explosions and things that will sizzle.
This assistance was rendered with o most self
sacrificing spirit by older brothers, youthful
uncles and in many cases by pster famiias
himself. II was observed also that when the
supply gave out fathers and uncles sneaked
around the corner in the direction of
the fireworks store and soon afterward the DEM
onstration was resumed. In some places there
was the greatest prodigality in the use Of fire.
crackers aud whole packs were let of at once,
making a rapid suffering that caused much
delight. The small girl was not entirely out Of
all this. Sometimes she stopped her ears and
ran when u big cracker was going of, but there
were places where abe took the lead, superin-
tended the celebration, and even bravsly let

Work OF the Poundmsster.

Last week Poundmaster Einstein captured
thirty animals, including twenty-nine
dogs. seven horses, one mule and one COW.
There were forty-three dogs killed during the
week, eleven redeemed and one sold. The
poundmaster only has one wagon to cover the
entire District of Columbia, and part of the
time his men are in the service Of burning bed
ding and other articles from rooms where per-
sons have died from scarlet fever and other
contagious diseases, and for that reason proper
attention cannot be given to the capture Of dogs.
so 1t is said. That is why more dogs are not
captured.
There is a fund set apart for the contagious
disease branch OF the service and 1t is stated
that about 1000 surplus will be turned into
the treasury, and that in making this showing
the pound service suffered.
