in the prohibition party united their
efforts with these temperance republi-
cans in working through the party
already thoroughly organized and in
power, they could have dominated the
partyand would have been much nearer
to the accomplishment of the end
sought than they are to-day. A scat
ter gun does small execution on large
game. The prohibition party has ac-
complished nothing and there is no
prospect of its doing more.
The populist, the latest of one.idea par
ties, is perhaps the craziest of all. The
one idea of that party is To array the
poor against the rich. The claim of the
party is that it wants to wipe out class
distinctions, but never in American
politics were class lines SO sharply
drawn as they strive to draw them.
The party is made up largely of men
whose whole political creed is that
whatever is, is wrong" There are in
the party, to be sure, some honorable,
Woodworking tillers of the soil, drawn
there by the mistaken idea that popu-
lism means wise silver legislation. While
bimetallism is now having a healthy
growth in the republican party, it would
be given a marvellous impetus if such
men, seeing the mistake of 1878, in
stead of following off a new party,
would exert their efforts to correction
of the error through their own party.
The NORTHERNER is a thorough re-
publican. 1t believes in the principles
of the party, protection, bimetallism
and free ballot. Yet it is not such a
partisan that it thinks the party
always right. Neither is it such a re-
publican that, seeing error in its party,
it at once rushes to aid in the forma
ton of new party. MOI 1t rather
seeks To correct the error All good
republicans do likewise, and the effort
is generally successful. 1t is always
easier to accomplish reform through
an organization that is disciplined and
strong, than To take lot of raw
material and try to make a reforming
power out of il.

The result of the state canvass shows
that Judge Moore's plurality. at the
recent election was 0,4S7. The plural
ity for regents of the university was as
follows: Butterfield, 80, l49, Hackley
81 ,S43 This indicates no material
change in public sentiment since last
falls election. 1t is true that there was
a lighter vote polled, as there always is
at the spring elections. The total vote
last fall on governor was 416,9SS, of
which Governor Rich received 237, 215
and Mr.. Fisher received 100, 1923, the
vote for Governor Rich being $3.50 per
cent of the entire vote and 81 times
the vote for Fisher. At the election of
April l, the total vote for justice of the
supreme court was 342, 14O, of which
1S9, 294 were cast for Judge Moore and
1851 07 for Judge McGrath. Judge
Moore received 55.33 per cent of the
entire vote and IA times as many votes
as were cast for Judge McGrath. A
comparison of the vote on regents
would bring the proportion fully up to
the phenomenal vote of last fall. The
sudden rush of the Michigan democracy
for free silver did not appeal very
strongly to the voters of the state. The
republican party seems to be in a
healthy and thriving condition in Mich
igan at any rate.

New Parties.

One of the obstacles in the way of
political progress, is the disposition on
the part of many men of bright ideas,
when new theory or pet innovation
is born in their minds that fails of inn
mediate incorporation into the articles
OF the political faith OF the parties with
which they may be affiliated, to rush
franticaily to and fro, gathering follow
ers wherever they can, and then form
ing new party, inevitably party of
one idea, which is in the minds of its
promoters bound to revolutionize the
existing condition of things SO far as
the particular abuse is concerned
towards which the efforts of the organ
ization may be directed.
Once in our political history, an
abuse has grown to such gigantic pro-
portions as TO render the formation of
"a new party wise and efficient way of
wiping the evil out of existence, and
the republican party was born to de-
stroy the iniquitous institution of human
slavery. After having accomplished
that work, the republican party at once
directed its attention to other great
national questions, and thus lived on to
become the most potent factor in our
American political history.
Since that time, numerous new par.
ties have been organized. They have
all, however, lacked one of the essen
tial elements of success The single
ideas about which the organizations
have gathered have none of them been
OF such overshadowing importance as
to'be able tn draw the attention of 3
of equal or even greater Importance
which divided them into the two great
parties. 1t is extremely doubtful if Sc
important an issue will again come
into American politics upon which the
great parties will not divide, as to rem
der possible the formation of any new
party with any hope of national success
The most noteworthy of the thirC
parties of recent years are the green
back, prohibition and populist.
The greenback party was organized
for the purpose of carrying to ruinou
extreme currency policy that haC
been devised as war necessity by tn,
republicans. All that was good in the
greenback party was borrowed from
republcanism and has since been main
tanned to- greater or less extent by the
republican party. The only result &C
complished by the greenback move
ment was to Ground up" lot of repub
leans in the camp of the unterrified
democracy.
The prohibition party was devised to
advocate great moral principle, but
moralists are not always well advised
as TO the best means of accomplishing
their ends. Anyone who has paid at
tention to this matter knows that the
greater portion of the temperance men
of the nation are to be found in the
republican party. Had those who are

NICARAGUAN REPORT.
Member Of the Commission Admits
Reported Estimate OF Cost.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Alfors Noble OF this
city, a member of the Nicaragua beard
appointed by act of Congress to report
upon the feasibility Of the Nicaragu Canal,
was seen last night in reference to re-
port that the board had reported ad-
versely on the enterprise.
Mr.. Noble said that so far as he knew
the report, which the board had submitted
first to the President, as provided in the
act creating 1t, had not yet been presented
to Congress, and therefore he could not
speak freely until the report became public
property,
He admitted, however, that the commits
sion's estimate of the cost of building the
canal is $133, 800, zoo, as against the
estimate of the Nicaragua Construction
Company of 500 9,0OO.00o.
Mr.. Noble would not say that the report
was adverse to the project, but thought
the canal q decided possibility, sn lar as
the task of constructing was concerned.
The committee, he explains, was not an
thorized to consider the question Of the
canal becoming paying enterprise, but
only to Investigate as tn cost and manner
of construction.

The harbor was gloomy, foggy place
yesterday. In the afternoon the fog was
SO thick that the continual blowing of
whistles was necessary and the island

lessening speed occasionally to make
sure that the way was clear in front
There seemed to be variety of opin-
ion as to when this east wind will cease
blowing the fog and rain in this direc-
tion. One man was so discouraged that
he declared that we needn't look for
clear weather till next Friday. Another
man was equally positive that we needn't
look for clear weather till Wednesday,

who predicted that the sun would shine
to-day. All honor to them and may the

horse power and there is room for
two more of the same size, SO that the
plant can be equipped for 1 600 horse
power, which will be the power of the
boilers in the Portland street railway
company's plant, now building at Deer
