Another Railroad to Puget Sound.

A Denver dispatch of the 18th
states that papers had been filed
with the Secretary of State in that
city Incorporating the Albuquerque,
Colorado & Pacific railroad, capitalized
at 81 100000. The route proposed for
the road is from Albuquerque through
the counties OF San Juan, Taos, Rio
Arriba and Bernalillo, in New Mexico,
crossing the Colorado line at Farm
ton, and through the counties OF La
Plata, Montezuma, Dolores, San Mig
uel, Montrose and Mesa, touching at
Durango and Grand Junction, then
proceeding in a northwesterly direc-
ton through Uintab, Summit, Wah.
satch and Salt Lake counties, in Utah,
to Salt Lake City, the course continu-
ing in a direct line to some point yet
undecided on Puget Sound, in the
State of Washington. The directors
for the first year are J. w. Hanna,
president; w. w. Borst, vice presi-
dent; J. c. Veach, secretary; G. w.
Wilson, treasurer; E. T. Wells, coun.
sci. Judge Wells, the corporations
counsel, has intimated that there
was a prospect that the road, or at
least part of it, would be built ct an
early date. "Surveys have already
been made" said he, "for the portion
of the proposed line between Albu-
querque and Grand Junction, and it is
probable that the work OF grading will
be started in the spring. If the
money can be raised the line will be
pushed on to Salt Lake, and later TO
the Pacific ocean or to Puget Sound.
When matters assume definite proper.
tons the stock will be largely in.
creased. The route of the line is
through one Of the most prolific sec.
tons in mineral, stone and agriculture
in the United States"

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE Another
evidence OF the enterprise of the S. F.
Examiner is given in Tuesdays issue
by giving the full text OF Lord Dun
ravens statement OF alleged fraud in
the late cup race on the Jersey Coast.
The statement fills a page and one
half of the Examiner, and the exorbi-
tant cost of cable service, which de-
tered Eastern papers from obtaining
more than n summary, has been no
check to the Monarch OF the Dailies."
Dunraven endeavors, in his statement
to place all the blame for the defeat
OF the Valkyrie upon Partially of
Americas Cup Committee for the De-
fender. 1t is remarkable document,
10 say the least, and shows how easy
it is for poor frail humanity to pervert
and twist the truth to serve selfish
purposes and ease the shock when
pride has sustained fall.

Ishmaelitish Praise.

The OregOnidn is again engaging in
the Heads | win, tails You loose" sort
OF game in politics. 1t advocates
the nomination of Cleveland bv the
Democrats and, of course, any Repub-
lican is regarded as sonnd enough on
the gold standard issue with sound
currency platform to sustain him.
80 1t matters but very little To the
Wall street curreLc!! manipulators
who wins, and this sentiment finds an
able representative in the leading
journal OF our sister State.
Here is one OF the utterances OF that
paper. First premise:
50 far as the elections trend upon
national issues, between the two parties,
the result IS an unusual and overwhelm.
ing Republican triumph"
Here is another. Second premise
. SO far as it was a contest between
the administration and the mischicvous
Democratic tendencies Mr.. Cleveland
has held in check, it was notable vic
tory for the President.
The conclusion so plainly stated,
that the " universal and overwhelming
Republican triumph was " notable
victory for the President" is a candid
admission OF the precise estimation in
which Mr.. Cleveland is held by the
gold-bug Republican party, and con-
siderable force is added to this express.
sion from the fact that the Oregonian,
during Mr.. Cleveland's first campaign
for the chief magistracy emptied its
walls OF yituperation upon him per
sonally and politically. The grossest
language OF our very expressive Eng
lish vocabulary was applied to Mr..
Cleveland, as a man, and the scandal
connected with the Halpin matter was
rolled as delicious morsel under its
tongue. The marriage of the Presi-
dent about that time was made an.
other occasion for the scalping-knife
and tomahawk in which what little
that was left OF moral character was
c.otted with sanguinary gore.
Behold the difference now. The
President is panoplied with sheen of
gold which covers and hides those
moral obliquities which the Oregonian
at one time thought untitled him for
political or domestic life. Verify
Politics makes strange bedfellows."

A SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTs.-
A school building in Grenada, Mexico,
was burned last Saturday, while school
was in session, with an attendance of
from 100 to $50 pupils. In spite OF
the heroic efforts of the authorities
and people the building was destroyed.
From the ruins so far thirty.one bod
les, including one of teacher, have
been exhumed. The fire is believed
to have been incendiary, and two boys
who had been severely punished by the
teacher, and suspended, are believed
to be the authors OF the crime and
have been arrested, but so far have not
confessed.

THE Great Northern strike is off.
A few days ago it looked as if there
would be another interruption to
traffic over that road, but it seems
that the strikers have voluntarily
abandoned their contention and most
of them have returned to duty. The
principal complaint was low wages,
but they doubtless realized after calm
deliberation that the almighty gold
bug dollar is all powerful just now in
securing competitive prices for all
kinds of labor and all sorts of COM
modities. It's better to await till bet
ter times before attempting coercion
in matters in which the moneyed
power holds the upper hand.

The OCculiSt.

The Walla Walla Union OF August
10Th, has the following:
DIR. Lewenberg, the eminent oc-
culist who has been in this city at
different times recently, is preparing
to take his departure. This gentle
man has treated a great many OF our
citizens during his stay here, and we
hear nothing but praise from his
patients. He came to this city quietly,
advertised his business and was we'll
patronized. In return for their
patronage the people were treated
scientifically and skillfully, and are
enthusiastic in his praise. 1t is to be
hoped the citizens of Walla Walla will
always be treated as we'll by travelling
men as they have by this occulist.
He will probably make us another visit
at future date"
Such n splendid notice as this, after
several visits is most ilattering testi-
mony OF DIR. Lewenberg's ability as an
occulist and as gentleman. He can
be consulted at the Hotel Olympia by
anyone needing his services.

They came around from Portland on

that the place would in future become
a city, they named the point Alki, a
word from the Chinook Jargon, mean

MARRIAGE IN "HIGH" LIFE.-An-
other "swell" wedding of an Ameri-
can girl to Britisher took place in
New York, Tuesday at noon. The
daughter of ex-Secretary of the Navy
William c. Whitney was the bride,
and Almerac Paget, youngest son of
the late Gen. Lord Alfred Paget, was
the groom. In this instance no title
goes with the contract and no MARI.
age settlement was demanded. While
every detail OF the wedding, according
to Jenkins" was arranged on a scale
of costly magnifcence, it was but as
moonbeam to the sunburst in compar.
ison with the observation-disclosures
nuptisls celebrated a few days before.
1t was graced by the presence of
Grover Cleveland, however, and that
compensated somewhat for the
glamour OF gold which elaborated the
"high-jinks" of the former sassiety
swirl.

The Nicaragua Canal.

lilc SUBJECT Oh senator squire adj
dress at Olympia Theate-, Tuesday
might, was a theme that should en-
brace course OF lectures, to place the
matter in n! it, hearings before the
public. The Nicaragua Canal is a
gigantic undertaking, but the hcnr-
Its to toe derived are 50 apparent and
far-rcaching. that it only requires Il
grasp ri their import to decide that il
i, i project that >houli at once enlist
the ali q! our government
The distance from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean, at Nicaragua, is only
a fraction over 1863 miles, l42 miles OF
which is traverSed 10y natural water
ways, in the shape of navigable rivers
and lakes. The total excavation of
the canal Is less than ~ miles, and
the cost at a conservative estimate is
placed at about one hundred millions
ui dollars.
The importance Of this means of
communication from military and
commercial points of view is incalua-
bic. To be able to transfer our IRON
clads from our Eastern to the Western
scaboard In One-tenth the time it now
takes by sailing around the southern
extremity OF South America might in
case OF foreign war save the occupa-
ton Of large portion OF unprotected
domain. To bring the ocean COM
merce OF the Pacific slope within
twenty days of New York, would be
another possibility OF spanning the
narrow strip Of land which connects
the two continents with q CONNER
cial waterway.
Upon such possibilities, the Sena-
tor bases a wonderful expansion Of our
State resources. He thinks that the
value of our four hundred million feet
OF timber would be increased from 81
to S. for each thousand feet. An in
crease of value Of only % cents he
places at one hundred millions of dol
lars, about the cost OF tho canal. The
increased margin Of profit upon the
maximum yield of wheat, figures up
equally astounding results, and the
command that would be given other
products by low transportation, such as
live stock, slaughtered beef. fish, fruits
and other cereal products aside from
wheat, would virtually give the Pacific
Coast command OF many of the sta
pies of trade. In the single article OF
wheat, which now costs 1915 per ton to
place it in Liverpool, the cost would be
reduced, estimating liberal toll for
passage through the canal. at 81 81 per
ton, and the product could be sold on
less than months future, instead Of
prospective value five months from
the date of shipment. Passengers
could be landed on our shores at from
SIS to 500, from the Eastern States
or Europe, which would afford an OPP
portunity for the thrifty husbandman
and his family to make his home
where only muscle and Drawn are
wanting to make the desert blossom
with wealth.
The array of figures given by the
Senator seemed to be an impregnable
witness of the truth OF his assertions,
and that they possessed an absorbing
interest TO his auditors was shown by
the rapt attention accorded him for
considerable over three hours con.
sumed in presenting the more salient
points of the vast fund of information
he has gathered in support of this
great enterprise OF the century.

The Tables Turned.

The English Lords do not all have
it their own way with American heir
esses and beauties. Lord Sholto
Douglass is one of these, and he has
ran up against the proverbial mother
in-law, who is making life a burden to
him. Some time ago Lord Sholto
married in California. the pretty
variety actress, Loretta Adds, since
which time the Lords personal affairs
have been largely under direction of
Loretta's mother. 1t seems that Lord
Sholto finally rebelled, and in a letter
to his mother-in.law, had courage
enough to mildly but firmly suggest
that as he had not married the whole
Adds family, this surveillance of his
affairs should cease. 1t was we'll for
the doughty lord that about five hun
dred miles interviewed between himself
and his wife's mother when the epistle
""S ASouS anu ~ may NC tidt cNcIl tiiiS
is but postponement of the evil day,
for Mrs. Adds announces her deter.
mination to horse-whip "That Eng
lishman," as he is CONTEMPORARY des-
ignated by the irate Amazon. The S.
F. Examiner which publishes illustra-
tons of the principal actors in this
tragi-comedy, states that the stalwart
mother-in-law will leave Oakland for
Los Angeles this week, to administer
a thorough dose OF the Adds Soothing
Syrup. If the Duchess of MARI

nal ancestor with the grit OF the Cali
fornia dame, Puck might be able to re-

The Herald should get over Its per
aonal spleen at Senator Alley. He
stumped southern Oregon in an ehec-
tive manner last year, got bill
through raising the age of consent
from lS to 16, and led The fight on the
old rotten Portland ring In the senate,
where only three men cut OF thirty
had the courage to stand out against 1t.
Colonel Alley is not candidate, as the
Heralu well kDOWbs Ilo 10 iOJh ohN

The Herald and all other good Re
publican papers will no doubt support
the nominee, be he Hermann, Alley or
any other man. What the Republic
cans want Is man who is first aud
last protectionist. Oregon has no
use for free trade In wool or any other
article that can be produced or manu-
factursd by American labor. Oregon
Republicans want men for senators and
congressmen who represent the people,
against that combination known as the
corporations and the money power In
politics, that gives the people extrava-
gance and corruption in their state and

life out of the producer. The rank aud

WHY THEY RAGE.

The Pendleton daily that cannot quit
abusing the editor OF THE JOURNAL Is
run by some printers who are set up by
the Oregonian. 80 they are a mere
branch Of the big daily abuse at Port
land.
Some Of them were at Salem last
winter shouting for Dolph and trying
to get places on joint investigating
committees. THE JOURNAL fought
the people from start to finish, and
the volume Of that grab on the treasury
was sensibly diminished.
OF course, any animal squeals when
IL Is hurt. We do not blame these
leeches for feeling as they do. We pray
for them 10 reform.
