Status Of the
Railroad Situation.

When 1t was learned that the REM
lngton railroad party, whose arrival
was delayed by the accident to the Tel
ephone, was expected in this city Mon-
day, great interest was felt in the pos
sible result of that conference with the
trustees Of the Astoria Guarantee SUBJ
| sidy Company, and many inquiries
were made as to the position Of the
railroad enterprise. In or6er to make
the latter clear 1t will be necessary to
go back to last year. Last spring the
people of Astoria transferred about 1000
acres of land which they had subscribed
Is railroad subsidy, to the Astoria
Guarantee Subsidy Company. In con-
slderation of this transfer that COM
pany undertook to pay a cash subsidy
Of $350,00O to- the Astoria and Portland
railroad company as soon as 1t had
completed railroad from Astoria to
Portland.
This company likewise made a CON-
tract with three trustees. Messrs. Tay-
lor, Wingate and Dement,, who repre-
sented the subscribers to the land sub
sldy. In this contract the company
bound itself to build the road under
certain stipulations.
The Astoria and Portland railroad
was represented in this transaction by
Messrs. Goss. Scofleld and Reilley. The
company made a. sub-contract for the
construction Of the railroad with Corey
Brothers and Watts. This firm under
took the work with energy and by the
fall had cleared large portion Of the
right-of-way, and built about sixteen
miles of grading. They then suspended
work Lecause the company was unable
to make the payments 1t had under
taken.
In September last the trustees de-
clared the contract forfeited on the
ground that the stipulated amount OF
work had not been done. The Astoria
and Portland railroad company sub
mitted to this decision.
The contract was then transferred to
Corey Brothers and Watts, who were

tions by Mr.. Remington. Of Salt Lake
city. The first contract between the
parties was for two months. When
that time expired. Mr.. Remington asked
for an extension, which was granted.
In March, he said that steps were still
in progress TO raise the funds needed
and the time was extended under
new contract, which called for certain
payments TO be made in May. The re-
latIons between the trustees and Mr..
have thus, It is understood.
come to a point which has rendered
new negotiations necessary, and the
public are now endeavoring to deter

meeting which took place yester-
lay between tie parties to the con-
.ract.
The conference between Messrs. Tay-
or, Wlngate and Dement,. the trustees.

The President and the Congress,

One of the exchanges says that
it is evident that President Clever
land intends to cultivate congress-
men hereafter more than he has
heretofore; and this because he exs
poets to need their assistance in
getting through Congress the meas
ures which are to be considered as
peculiarly the measures of the ads
ministration.
We see no improperly in the
policy thus outlined. The Presis
dent cannot do without Congress,
and Congress cannot do without
the President. Especially has the
Senate grown to be ssa bigger man
than old Grant," or, in other words,
a body which cannot be controlled
by the President, The senators are
clannish set, as we'll as a conclave
of great men. 1t learned while
Andrew jackson was President
how it might exalt itselt and hu-
initiate the President.
When you see Democratic senas
tors agree with one another that
the President shall appoint no man
postmaster in a senator's own post,
Office town whose appointment
would be Objectionable to that sen
ator yon see a thing very small in
itself, but also thing that has
much of the worlds history in it,

tanned by the General Assembly,
and it is ordered that the case pros
ceed to trail in accordance with the
provisions of the Book of Discip-
line," This report is signed by ff-
teen members of the commission,
The minority report recommends
substitution for the above resolu-
tions of the following: 1--WE fined
the appeal in order, and recommend
that parties be heard in accordance
with povisions of the book of diss
cipline."
This report is signed by Messrs,
Myres, Stebbins and Nichols.
There is much explanation and
argument in both rports. Some
time was occupied then in straighte
ening ont the parliamentary sit
uation. 1t was finally decided to
act upon the first resolution Of the
majority report, which was adopt
ed.
Then motion to pass the second
resolution was offered. Mr. Cut~
cheon, of Detroit, moved to strike
out limitation of time of debate by
parties in interest to three hours,
but the Assembly refused to remove
the restriction.
At this point Mr.. Briggs sought
to be heard, but the Moderator
ruled that this was not a proper
time for him, promising him a
hearing later on. The second res
solution was adopted.
The Moderator then announced
that in accordance with the book
of government, the Assembly would
be turned into a judicial court of
the Lord Jesus Christ and following
the rules of procedure, called tor
the reading cf the judgment notice
of appeal, appeals and specification
of the error alleged. This was done
by stated clerk Coberts, the reads
ing occupying more than an hour
and a half and exhausting all the
remainder of the afternoon session,
The great audience sat more
quietly throughout the dreary re-
petition of legal forms than they
would have done under the most
eloquent sermon.
The Court then adjourned until
2.3O Tomorrow afternoon and the
General Assembly until 9 80 a. m
After adjournment in the afternoon

Assembly and officers of the va

panying them were entertained al

olution rendering the thanks of

umbian Exposition on Sunday, The
resolution was tclegraphed to the
President.
After some futher routine bust.
ness was transacted, the consideras
tion of the report of the CONS
mittee on Foreign Missions was
again taken up. A long discussion
took place over the resignation of
Rev. M. 81. Houston, formerly
secretary of the committee, in
order to take up mission work in
China. The committee declined to
accept his resignation. Amendment
by Rev. j, G. Sne1ecer was adop-
ted and the resignation accepted.
The office of assistant secretary
was abolished, The present incum~
bent will hold office until next

THE CALM THAT COMES AT EVENs
ING.

There's calm that comes at evening
When tic weary day Is DER,
That's as soothing as the lullaby
Our mothers sang of yore;
And though the day be dreary,
I can just forget it all,
In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.
I can see my sweetheart's signal
From her waYing window blinds
I can feel her pertumed presence
Waited to me on the winds;
When I hush my heart to hear her,
| can almost understand
Her sweet welcome in the winds.
Of the wind-wavc from her hand.
When she laughs its like the music
Of the ripples on the rills,
And her breath is like the fragrance
Ofthe flowers that deck the hills.
And though the day be dreary,
can just forget it all.
In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.

TRUTH AND BEAUTY.
BY WILLIAM CowAN.

I had friend who lived Tor Truth,
Who sought it Fast, who sought it
West,
In city streets and lonely haunts,
And died unprospered in the quest.
Another, who for Beauty lived,
For Beauty bartered all beside,
And in the evening of his days
For Beauty, as was fit, he died.
And many time between them both
Contention on the point was long;
Ops Truths brave knight in veal and
woe,
The other Beauty's champion strong,
But when they crossed the flood oi
death,
The eternal, all revealing flame
Flashed on their souls, and then knew
they
That Truth and Beauty are the same!
Good Words.
