Tho railroad coramllteo of tho stale Fanners' Alllanco publishes tho follewing: "We, your committee, llrmly' be lieve that the only way tho people can successfully control railroad?, is liy statute law. If "the next lejilc- laluro of Oregon will pass a maxl mum rate bill specifying just what the passenger aud freight rates shall be, the railroad company will obey tho laws of tho laud, and our organ ization will not bo called upon to employ expert attorneys nor go Into tho courts to get juslleo and eufurco the laws. Wo therefore recommeud to our members aud all other reform organizations throughout the ntuto as the oulv maetical way to settle this railroad question until government ownership Is secured, to demand tho repeal of the law creatlug a railroad commission, aud nnfnrca these demands at tho ballot box by voting for only such men ns will pledge themselves lu writing to repeal this law, aud thereby rid this state of this utterly useless, decep tive and expouslvo railroad commission." Tho sixth plank of tho Oeain nillaiiapolls demands, leads thus: "We demand the most rigid, hot), -at aud just state and national uov rnmeutal control and supervision f the means of public communica tion aud transportation, and If this control and suptrvlslon does not remove tho abuse now existing, wo demand the government ownership of such means of communication md transportation." Wo would like to nsk tho public lu general aud tho Alliance mem bers lu particular If, In tho light of sixth demand, tho abovo cousttntes fair treatment of the Oregon rail road commission and Us workings under tho present law. Tho framer of tho abovo report aBsalllpg) the commission system promiBeslthat tho railroads will obey a maximum rate law. How does ho know that ? In other states they fight such laws harder In the courts tlmn commission laws und as a rulo more successfully. Wo fenr tho irontleman baa an antipathy entirety out of keepluj with plank six of his order, which especially recognizes stato control and supervision of railroads. Only after this has been tried and failed shall government ownership be at-temnted. Aspersious of tho commission will not weaken It in the minds of fair men, aud deserve no answer for the simple reason that assertions uro not facte. Tho Alllanco would do better to loud Its Influence to make the commission useful to tho people, In place of trying to weaken Its Influ ence. Estimates on all work In our lino.

Next to openlug tho natural water way of this great Willamette valley tho peoplo of Western Oregou feel a deep Interest In tho Immediate opening of tho Columbia. By im mediate is meant In tlmo to movo tho crop of 18D2, Tho obstacle at the Cascades Is overcomo by the Portage railway built and equipped by tho stato of Oregon at u cost of $UO,000. Tho louger portago at The Dalles Is still uusurmounted but should be overcome in a similar maimer In 1802. If congress docs not do It the stato must do it. Tho noonlo of Eastern Orejrou must not bo forced to wait ten or twenty years until a boat railway or canal and lochs can be constructed. Tho great eastern empire region must not bo left with ItB development checked for all that time. It will bo a check upon all Oregou to allow that great highway of nature to tho seas to uo closed In tho tlmo when tho capital of tho whole world la anxious to come aud develop Oregon. What aro tho chances of getting a portngo railway in 1802? Thero aro two ways. Let us oxamtno them. 1. Governor Ponnoyer will ask of congress an linmedlatoapproprlatlon of $300,000 to build a portago railway at Tho Dulles. Ho proposes lu tho name of Oregon aud of tho party ho represents to ask at tho hands or the Itlvers and Harbors coinmitteo of tho Democratic houso that sum. If all goes well ho will securo It, though the chances are against hlui. How will hla bill faro lu tho senate? Tho seuatois from Oregon aro Re publican. If Governor Ponnoyer can get his Portnge railway bill through the limine, whloh Is doubt ful, will tho lteptbllcan then feel llko covering hliu with glory against tho plaus for Improvement at The Dalles to which they are committed? It. Is not Ukelv. It Is not In tho nature of things. Tho Bonators are still elocted by tho legislature and nro nnswerauio to mo pany inai elects them only as represented in tho legislature. Pounoyor cannot muko party capital out or their actlous becauso tho legislature has already several times memorlaQed them for boat railways. Tho soimto would Bit dowu ou n Portago rail way at Tho Dalles If tho house would pass It. Tho peoplo of this stuto bellovo that Governor Ponnoyer Is slucero in desiring to open tho Columbia and thus secure relief for tho peo ple or Eastern Oregon. Tho peoplo must look upon their oxecutlvo as being abovo playlug with tlium or coneoctlnir' fechomes to genorato political thunder In mockery of their diro necessities. Yet they cau see uo'posslblo chauco to get a por tago railway at tho hands or mis congress. To wait for It to adjourn will eurrv tho matter over Into another year. A portago railway Is a novelty In congress. It Is doubt ful If tho presldout would not veto bill to build and operate 13 miles or railroad for one section of one state. It Is it lino of business tho federal government would hesitate to go Into. Willi ono portago onerated by tho stato of Oregon and another Just abovo by tho uniteu bo a lacK or Royal Baking Powder J&S&?

Tho people had rlsou en awsaelu tho district or Tutc la, tnree nays' Jouruoy from Foochaw, in a north oast direction, and had slaughtered several officials. Five thousnd Imperial troops were sent against tho rioters by Viceroy Pin, and a bloody engagement euBiied, In whloh over 2000 of tho Boldlers woro killed, tho remaludor fleeing, paule-strlokou, A now subject for discussion aud excitement in Foo ohow 1b Just now detracting some attention from tho rebellion, aud the authorities hope it will help them In the supprsslon of tho riot ers.

London, Doc. 1. A correspond out of tho Times at Santiago de Chill says that the entire Unman harmony. Tho stato would have no control over the federal portage. While we do not believe it Is possi ble to secure u portage railway ap propriation at tho hands of this con gress It would not be worth much if wo had it. What can be done V It Is obvious that the rluhtand only way to build the second portago railway at 'the Dalles Is for the state or Oregon to build It JiihI wj it built tho first, which It Ib now so succesarully and economically operating. To do this lu time for tho next crop and wtve the producers of Oregon walling one veur until another legislature Is ,.u,.i,.,i .mil meets, llio governor of Oregon should call u special sewlou or the legislature for Unit purpose at once.
