Tbe dye is cast, and every working man mutt now sock his own salvation. He need not ezpcot capitalists aro going to reject Chinees labor.for they are not. Iho en )y way fer our nation to prosper, and give labor its placo in society, is to vote it then'. Nothing but votes and laws for the protection of our OWB kind will mako our peoplo prosperous. Ths dem ocratic party stand pat on this qaestion. There were but two democrats that voted against the bill, and they were from Massachusetts where there is a feolins favorable to chiueso labor rats. If 5000 of them could got into Massa chusetts factoriea the Stato would be coino Democratic q uicker than Arthur became President. kj1. . uf mm si'j TMB BBBBBS P.il'IMC. Thia week, says the Corrallia r7oattf has marked an important ntsgd in the pregreoi of the work. The contracts for the three tunnols between Corvallis and Vaqsina have boen let to Mr. J. A. BugVeo of San Franciseo. The lengths of the two tunnels on the descent from the Summit into tho Yaquina valley are 750 aud 350 feet, and that just below Mr. Napp's houso G00 fot. The work is to begin within two weeks from 812111112 ths ceatraets and the tunnels and approaches have all to be completed by the eud of July next. From Mr. Bagbee's well known character as an energetic and capable contractor we have no doubt that this portion of the work will bo get through well on time. .oon BWA Tho following dispatch was roeeircd st the ofliee of tho Oregon PaoiGc Hail road Company nt Oorvallis last Wed nesdsy: Navr V im April, Istb, 1MZ.

This N t mjsf unmistakable recog nition by Congroas of tho importance of the work being carried on by the Oregon Pacific Railroad Co. Now that this bill has passed and wo havo every reason to bellovo that nt least $00,000 will bo appropriated by Con gress for work oo tbe Yaqulna bar, no one can doubt that tho Ore gou Poets will soon give tho inihtinelto Valley aoother outlet. And wo do not see now why tho () P R R cannot have iho full Huppolt of tho entire people of Oregon. Tho Northern) Pacific Itail road, by tho publication of their new circular and map, boldly announce that Tacoma will bo their western terminus. Their lino passes direct from A in t worth north of tho Colam bin to that city, a id Portland Is left away ofT to the south. This change of the western terminus is madefon aeecountof Tacoma's advantage ns a h i p water shipping point, and Port land is left in tho ahado. Tho poo pb: of Oregon should now unitedly support tho O P R It and thus assist io opening an Oregon port to Ore;'., i bippltlg. While sneikiog on thi subject we ml;;bt also say Cvit vork will begin in earnest next week on the Oregon I'aeifl;-. Fully JO0 Chinese will bo at work by the lost of this month, and agents arc now in Portland engaging 1 000 more. J II Hugbce, of Ban Fran. clsco, to whom has boon let the con. tract of rutting tbo three tunnel), will begin work next week, and will finish by Auguit 1st. He built the tunnels on the N. P. C. K It. In Call fornij, and many others, and is known as a tusher. Passenger coaches, bag gage and express cars havo i con shipped from New York via Panama, and the material will now arrive at Vaquiua Bay as fast as vcanch can bo chartered to de work. Ir makes no difference whether Arthur vetoes tbo now Chinese bill Off not, the position of the Republican party on this momootou? quoslioa is now known. The members of the party on this Out aro not in occoid with their Kistern brethren, but are in their power. The eastern llepub lieaus who are in favor of enacting laws preventing K jrepean labor from cumctiug wuli our New Kngland manufacturers, uro ..ot iu favor of laws to prevent tho Mongolian sieves from eotupeting with our poor West ern laborers. It certaiuly will not tab long for any thinking man to mako up his mind ns to which party he should unite with. mtaia final ea tbb enisasi: oies Ties. Frank Pixley, editor of the iJ-n Francisco Arjoiiaut, is ths beat writer and en of the beat orators ia tbe Re publican party of California, and has always stood in the front rsnk among its leaders. Just sfter the Chinese bill hsd psssed Congress, and bsfore it had been vetoed be wrote as follows : Tlila has ruaaoj tn bo a parlfie Caaat uuaasloa ; it ia a uaitotai auction, aiiS the Mtiators ho volaU af-aimi in iitaeae imii ht uaiiberaui vtuiaaad aa ttoaara bl clodtfe.oMitljr gisaa In a national atacUoa.

That we have been spared wtlnossinj; these thinga ia due, uot to the par ty of moral ideaa and advanced political intelliiceucc, uot to Republicans, but to the Democratic party ; not U Oopuhhcau statesmen, but to the Dotuoerallu pol iticians. After the bill was vetoed by Arthnr, Pixley biesks out m tLis tra iner in the Argonaut ef April 8th : The veto is an acoinplithed faot. That it is a want n iolaliounf an honorable and inteinev t iutical ooui pact ontoreil into botwaotrth peyt mi n iiartr and the people, no intelligent Itepublioau doubts, and no honest one will deny. That it la a frroaa abuse of the constitutional prerenal Ivoof the presidential office, hy a Republican preaideut we cannot ignore. That lead in,; K-puhllraiis of all parts of the couutry, ontaide of the Chinese belt of State, have betrayed their oar ty, forfeited their personal honor, It ia not acccasary te attempt to conceal. That it iaa piece of impcrtiaen't egotism for Mr. Chester Arthur to have set up hie opin ion upon such a questioa as thia. his moat arSent ad mirer will not dispute. That tha term of twenty years' reslricUon of Chinoeo labor imjiorttUon ia the cause of ohlecUon to th bill is worse than an evasion ; it is a deliberate lie. A bill for twenty years may have been roiH-aleii in twenty day a if Contrreaa had so de hired. To aayRhat it ia an evasion of(the treaty, or in vio lation of it letter or it spirit, is another He, the proof oiwhieh isatlni-dcd by the testimony ef ths coiiinm xiouor who negotiated the treaty. To say that any of the provisions of tho restrictive measure are In viola lion ut law is the afterthought of no honest mind. No lawyer in either branch of Congress made the auj geslion. The democratic party haa beeu true to its pledge in this respect. Tho Republi can party has boen false to all lla professions. It' has betrayed the people, and it haa dona it under false pretenses, ami with hjug and fates oxeusos. What wu ou:. it to do that la, what wa Republican! ottht to do may not bo hastily determined. Our par ty uu Uii coitt h.u boaa I al all through this contest. It went down with I U color nallod to the mast and flying. That it can rally and sur vive for 'the purpose of maintaining the skeleton ot an organization may be p.vuib!.'. Whether even so much of an ff i-t is doairabio may be an open quesUoa. We are not prepar.d to a.1mli that we are willing to be come the tail of a national organisation which has ao shamefully butrayed us. At present this Chinos quaaUon Is a political nOa ; it la to be worked out by political methods ; and it w ill not bo come any who are Ripubllcans to blame other Reaub lioaiif, it they shall deem It best to oast their destinies with a party which, on this question, has never betray oil tho paeple, and never violated its pledges. No one can deny the truth of Pix ley' remark?, and any one can see that the enly remedy ths laboring man has is through the Democtstic party.
