a OuadranguIar Contest.

Any one with his olfactory nerves in
good condition cannot fail to scent
from afar off the battle which will wage
this fall among the Democrats in this
congressional district The lines are
being drawn, the outposts picketed,
and everything put in order for san
culinary conflict, in comparison with
which the fight of Kilkenny cats was
not a circumstance Gen. Rogers. of
Fort Atkinson, is daily at his post of
duty directing affairs and planning
operations by which he hopes to gain
complete victory. Gen Kirkland,
of Jefferson, is by no means idle, but
Is thlrstlng for gore, with his eagle eye
calmly surveying the field detecting
the weak points of the enemy and pre-
pairing for a series of brilliar+ maneu-
vers which he expects will bring the
hostile forces to grief Gen. Barwig
from his seat in the house of repre-
sentatives, and through his literary
bureau, is adding to the revenues of
the postoffice department by a vol
luminous correspondence with his post
masters and other officials instructing
them as to a coup d. etdt by which he
hopes to force an early capitulation of
the opposition as he did two years ago.
Gen. Bushnell, of Madison, has not vet
sounded his bugle call, but will marshal
his adherents later IN the season when
the situation can be better diagnosed !,
and be may be able to entice some of
the other combatants into his camp.
1t is not expected that more active
hostilities will commence until Gen.
Barwig shall find it convenient to
| come to the front and take personal
charge of his campaign, each of the
| belligerents meanwhile maintaining
as best be can his present position. Gen.
| BIS chief Of staff, Judge Lamoreux,
reached the state last week, and i'm
mediately commenced accommodating,
| finding here and there some fences
down and other evidences of weakness.
| But these, they hope, will soon be
remedied, and then there will be a
movement all along the line of the
| contending forces. There is great fun
| ahead for those who enjoy sport of
| this kind. 1t may not be the greatest
| show on EARTH" but as an entertain
ment it will be "rich, rare and racy,"
and no one should miss it.

pelled to shut Down.
Chicago, ILL.-Nearly all the coopers
in the stock yards are on strike. 1t is
said that if the trouble is not speedily
settled the result will be that some OF
the big houses will be forced to lay off
their employees because of the scarcity
of barrels. When the strike took place
the houses were nearly all running at
iull capacity. The packers say it was
necessary for them to make reduction
in wages. This vas done three months
ago, and was general in the yards. The
soopers were not the only ones who suf-
tered, all the other branches OF the
packing industry being affected alike.
The coopers say their wages were cut
from 1885 and 1880 a day TO II 30 and
1890. The reason they did not object at
the time was that they thought the cut
was only temporary, and that wages
would be restored as soon as warm
weather came. 1t lis to enforcea a restora-
tion that they struck, and they say that
they will remain out until every man in
the stock yards is out.

WASHINGTON, D. CA story coming
from Omaha, Neb., that Charles Ceder-
quis, private in the Second Cavalry, is
under arrest waiting court-martial for
refusal to participate in the target prac.
tice Sunday, met very prompt denial
at the War Department. The officers
say the man has undoubtedly assigned
false reason for his arrest, as Sunday
target practice is unheard of in the army.
and it would decidedly be in violation OF
army regulations. The United States
soldier has always been exempt from
any unnecessary toll on Sunday, and in
that respect has much the advantage OF
European soldiers. Even in time OF war
this rule has been observed whenever
practicable, and during the late civil war
President Lincoln, quoting the words OF
Washington, made a general order en-
joining observance OF Sunday on the Of
ficers and men of the army, and the
spirit of this order still pervades the
service.

ASTORIA. On. railroad question,
which has been quiescent for some weeks
past, is again to be brought into promi-
nence, and will occupy public attention
for time. When Judge Brown left here
for the East month or so ago, it was
understood that lie had verbal under
standing with majority Of the subsidy
committee that no contract should be lei
until such time as he could confer with
the New Workers Represented and learn
what arrangements could be made with
them TO enter into contract for the
completion OF the railroad by way OF the
Nehalem route. Before his departure
and after the refusal OF the committee to
give him mortgage on the subsidy in
consideration OF deposit Of 1900, ,OOC
Mr.. Brown stated that he believed he
could make such arrangements as would
be in all respects satisfactory 10 the AS
toria people, but could make no definite
statement until he had an interview
with his principals. A week ago Mr..
Brown telegraplled the subsidy commit
tee that he had completed his arrange
ments in a satisfactory manner and
would be in Astoria in a few days-
Later dispatch was received from Mr..
Browns son, saying his father was i'll in
Denver and would not be in q condition
TO travel for some days. This latter
communication is interpreted by come
parties as an indication that Mr..
Browns plans had possibly miscarried,
Whether this view of the case Is correct
or not, the Stanton Campbell party will
again be in the field, and will make an
amended offer. ID. X. Campbell, the
Chicago contractor, has returned from
Portland, and intimates that another
effort would be made by his people to
come to terms with Astorians.
