HARRISON HOLDS THE FORT.

The Chicago street railway octopus is
not TO take the streets of that city into
half-century embrace, after all. Accord
ing to a Chicago special, Mayor Harrison
is in a position to prevent such an unde-
sirable and long-continued demonstration
of affection. The issue, as our readers
know, has stirred the Windy City from
centre TO circumference. The railway
combination has been seeking to secure
from the Council grant Of exclusive
rights in the streets for term of fifty
years. on basis Of 5-cent fares, and
what the opposers Of the scheme hold to
be grossly inadequate compensation 70
the city. The grant once made, the trans
action would become a contract, placing
the street-car corporations beyond dis
turbance for the time specified.
There were grave suspicious that the
street-car corporations were trying to buy
the Council, all of whose members are
termed aldermen, and the indignation OF
the people know no bounds. Mass-meet-
ings were held in all parts of the city,
AT which tho proposed franchise was de-
nounced; party committees served warm
ings on the aldermen not TO sell out
and citizens went about wearing badges
notifying "recreant' municipal legisla-
tors that If they did not turn from the
error Of their way they might be found
dangling from electric-light poles.
How much this popular outburst had
to do with changing the outlook for the
contamination OF the deal we know not;
but II is reasonable TO conclude that 1t
was not without decided influence in that
direction. For the Chicago special in
question tells us that when the Council
met Monday night there were surprising
developments. Mayor Harrison, who Is
fighting the peoples battle, found that he
had thirty-eight votes behind him. lie
will therefore. whatever may be done
with the ordinance in the mean time, be
able to defeat its passage over its veto.

The people Of Loudoun county. in this

fists to unsettle their faith in the eff
cacy of the maidstone. One of these
stones was sold there Monday and
brought $40. 1t is to be presumed that
the purchaser Will charge a fee for its
use. 1t Is also TO be presumed that many
other so-called madstones win now be
rushed into the market, with the hope
on the part OF their owners that they
may be disposed OF at prices somewhat
like the last Loudoun quotation.

our knowledge OF war and loss by
sickness.
In the spring of 1864 NV regiment
was moved down TO New Orleans and
from there back up to Port Hudson in
May, and during the seven weeks
that we staid there we lost over 400
men by sickness and during our term
OF service we spent most of our time
in that low sickly country.
We left the state 100 strong
and we had 800 recruits added, making
I4OO and when Se were mustered out
in Texas. March 20, 1866, we had less
then 600 men, our loss was over 700,
mostly died OF disease, Who was 10

METHODIST UNIVERSITY
STRUGGLE.
THE

Both Portland and Tacoma are
taking lively interest 10 the ques.
tion OF the location OF the consoli.
dated universities.
Portland has raised large sum for
purpose Of lIquldating the debt of the
Portland university, and Tacoma has
made strenuous efforts TO raise the
s23, 900 necessary to clear the Tacoma
university from debt, as II is neces-
sary TO put each on solvent basis
before either will agree to fuse with
the other.
The Tacoma institution is possessed
Of a tract Of land sufficiently large 10
furnish site for It's buildings. So
far as appears In the Tacoma papers,
that is the extent of It's resources.
The Portland school has, according
to its catalogue, magnificent set of
buildings; but II can boast OF the
ownership OF no land. 1t is thus seen
at a glance that there are sound
reasons for their consolidation. BY
taking the Portland buildings
to the Tacoma land, or by bring
Ing the Tacoma land to the Port
land buildings, the new institution
will have an adequate plant, so far as
1t goes.
or course, TO make the school a
self sustaining success,a large endow-
ment fund Is absolutely necessary, and
II appears that the new institution
will not be provided with anything in
that line. What they should dc
would be TO find some struggling
school with good, fat endowment
fund, but no land nor buildings. Then
by forming a three-cornered coalition
they might start the new school Oh
with a full supply OF ''elorions pros
pects."
1t Is true that the Portland schoo
financIers have been negotiating witt
the willamette University with
deal OF that kind IN view; but,unfort
unately for them. Old Willamette mol
only has a generous endowment fund
but she has large tract OF land ID
the heart OF this city for a school site
and she Is also we'll provided for IL

w. ID. Bynum, chairman Of the ma.

resignation to the executive commit

New York, was elected his successor.
The resignation was great surprise
to the leaders of the gold Democratic
party. G. Vey Holman, of Maine,
declared at the meeting that he pro-
posed Bynum be investigated. Hol-
man claims Bynum called the meet
ing at Chicago, with the intent to
force him to leave Maine, where an
election was held on Monday, and he
charges the ex-chairman with con-
splracy.
n resolution, which was adopted 10y
the meeting, stopping the salaries of
all officers, is said to be the cause OF
Bynum's resignation. Treasurer
Frenzel, of Indianapolis, reported that
when the campaign Of 1896 ended
there was $4,000 IN the treasury ot
the national Democracy. Since that
time $4,000 has been expended
There was 81, 500 which could be had

subscriptions. Bynum had received

Indignation of the people,o this city,
to high pitch. The numerous law

The proprietor Of the restaurant, at
the request OF the police, removed the
sign, as it was feared che unruly sol.
