URE30N SMTIHEl. HCIC-U.NVII.LK Saturday, FumrAitr 9, 1884. Bepnbllean Stale Central Commlllic. A meeting of the Republican State Central Committee of the State of Oregcn is hereby called,' to be held in the city of Portland on Thursday, February 21, 1884, at 11 o'clock a. m. A full attendance is earnestly desired. January 2G, 1881. Sol. Hirsch, Chairman. Cbrap Tclrsraphjr. Mackey'i Postal telegraph company has sent an agent to Washingtrn to propose to take the task of building a postal telegraph line out of the bauds of the government and build a line at its own expense that the postolBce can use as freely as if Senator Ed mund's plans should be carried out. It -agrees to build the trunk lines be twren the east and west, the north and south, connecting first with all tlie principal citiet then with every town that has 2,000 inhabitants and over. Tt will establish its own offices in all these place", and will place a connect ion in each place with the postoffices, where an instrument and operator will also be stationed. The compiny also agrtes to carry all kinds of messages whether long or short, at the uniform rate of one-half a cent a word.TAll the company asks of the governmen' is to agree to sell the telegraphic stumps of the company and that the stamps shall be devised and manufactured by the tjovr rnment, which is to deduct from the sales the cost of making and handling the stamps, which are tote used upon messages as thev are now on letters. A message of 100 words, for instance, will re quire a 50 cnt stamp, and the stamping of the mesiage will afford the company the means-of estimating correctly its re ceipts without a complicated system of book keeping. The Postal telegraph company ask the government to cell these stamps as a guaranty for their receiving enough business to warrant !he outlay in extending their persent system. llarper't "Weekly" has a vivid de Kcription of the official extravagance, plundering and mismanagement of New York city. In twenty years the population has increased 50 per cent, nnd the expenses of the government 430 per cent. There are only 3000 city employes who have absolutely nothing to do. The debt twenty j'ears ago was 18,701,440. It is now 8135,100,907. and during this period .the per capita expenses of government have risen from $11 99 to 27.37, and the rate of taxation from 1 G9 to $2 -53. During the last nine years there has been scarcely any increase of thp number of inmates in the city institu tions, and yet the appropriations thin year for them is over a million dolla-s more than it was nine years ago. The appropriations for the cost of the ciiy government for the present year are over 53,000,000 larger than thev were last year, which docs not cover the whole cost, as bonds are issued for the sulking fund to over the deficiencies. The cost of the police force has in creased four times as fast as the popu lation, and one fourth of tlm policemen are detailed to attend upon officials an 1 for private duty with which they should have no official connection. Even Mr. Vanderbilt cannot give a ball or reception without c tiling for a detail of police to guard his premises and valuables, and yet, as this account says, "it was found impossible to eet a police captain to suppress a disorder derly house within twenty seven feet of his desk." Speaking of Blaine, a Washington correspondent says: "I happen to know, by the way, that when speaker of the house of representatives he had a great temptation to put his feet on the very top round of the journalistic ladder. He was offered the editorship of one of the greatest New York news papers at a salary larger than any edi tor receives, and nearly as large as that of President of the United States. Curiously enough, too, the offer came from a journal which has never been friendly towards B'aine from that day to this. One of the most brilliant schemes for the depletion of the teasury is that of Senator Preston B. Plumb, of Kansas. He wants the Government to build levees on both sides of the Miss issippi from the mouth of the Ohio to New Orleans, and next to build a rail road on each bank! This would be about tour thousand miles of levee and four thousand miles of railroad. It certainly would be a grand scheme for the contractors, it not for the public But its audacity is sublime, ten in -comparison with its magnitude. 11 CMC LA UK vTS. A recently maJe statement of the land grant business now before the Public Lauds Committee gives the various grants as they stand on the books of the Committee, and professes to Mate the amounts earned by the corporatians by fulfilment of condi tions', and the amounts forfeitable for non fulfilment, as follows: Texas Pacific Grant, 14,309,760 acres; miles of road built, none; land earned, none; foifeitnble, all. Oregon Cmtrai Grant, 3,701,700 acres; miles of road built, 197; land earned. 2.000,000 acres; forfeitable, 1,901,700 acres. Ontonegan rand State Line Grant, 232,000 acrep; miles of road construct ed, nor.e; land earned, none; foifeita ble, all. California and Oregon, and Oreeon1 and California Grant, 2,126,520 aerefi; miles of road constructed, 107; land earned, 1,445,C00 acres; forfeila blf, 661,926 acres. Northern Pacific Grant, 48,215, 040, mils of road constructed at twen ty sections per mile, 228; at forty sec tions per mile, 197 mi'es, land earned, 10 675,200 acres; forfeiture, 37,539, 840 acre. - Atlantic and Pacific Grant, 40, 690,560 acre-; miles of road construct ed at twenty sections per mile, 89; at fortv sections, 36 mile; land earned, 2,660,800; forfeitable, 38,029,760 actus. Southern Pacific of California Grant, 5,51 1,264 acres; miles of mad constructed, 232; land earned, 2,449, 450 ncres; forfeitable, 2,618,140. New Orients Pacific Grant report ed at 903.218 acre, but found to con tain about 1,500,000 acres; miles of road constructed, none; land earned, none; forfeitable, all. Atlantic, Gulf and "Wist India Transit Grant, 1,171,200 acres; miles of road constructed, 155: land earned, 600.000 acres; forfeitab'e, 571,200 acres. Pensacola and Georgia Grant, 1, 178,880 acres; no road constructed; no lands earned; all forfeited. Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Grant, 226,560 aeres, no road constructed; no land earned; all forfeited. Mobile i Girard Grant; 958,644 acres; no road constructed, no land earned; all forfeited. Selma, Rome and Dalton Grant, 641,281 acres; miles of road construct ed, 100; land rarned, 400,000 acres; forfeitable 241,281 acres Vi.ksVuru, Shreveport and Texas Grant, 725,760 acres; miles of road constructed, 94; land earned, 360,000 acres- forfeitable, 363,760 acres. Sioux City and St. Paul Grant, 487,240 acres; miles of r.iad construct ed, 55; land earned, 316,700 acres; forfeitable, 170 540 ncres. There areJ121,000,000 acres of land granted 21.000,000 acres earned and 100,000,000;acrcs forfeitable. It would thus appear that the total of about 100,000,000 acres of land re forfeitable to the United State, by reason of failure to fulfill the con ditions on which they were granted to the various railroads now claiming them. "Boston Trai eler. The fact that the Central Pacific people are not doing any work of im portance towardsOregon is sigificant of their intention not to make connec tion with the Oregon and' Califorria road, but to let our end of the line go without through connection. Of course, without 'hrougli business this road will not be a financial success, ami the supposition is that the Cen trnl eople do not intend that it Bhall bo a success, at Itast until they own the whole line. Judging from present indications we need not expect to see the line laid any further than Ashlar-d for some time to come, if ever. Mr. Villard was confident that everything would bo done at his will. He had an astonishing career while it lasted, and it looked for a while as if his will was law for everything in the Northwest. It seems a pity that it oould not be, for he was a good friend to this city and country, apparently. Now that his sceptre is departed, many who had implicit faith in him up to the collapse of bis plans wonder that they did not see the utter imiiacticability of some of liia favorite schemes. The extension of the Oregon and Caliornia south, on the terms made, leave' the Oregon and Tianscontinental liable for the interest on an immense sum that cannot easily be realized if through connection is made and the through business fully equals expectations. Without connec tion the road from Ashland to Rose burg, for 150 miles, that will cost when finished nearly $50,000 a mile, will not more than pay running expens es, as it runs through a very sparselv settled country with few resources. It is to be hoped that the Central peo pie will keep their agreement, but their policy may be of the freeze-out order and they may play their game to own tho whole. There is little honor among corporations. A iihrewd ob server says the Transcontinental has a heavy load to carry and that Villard's policy was rash and very unsafe. Many doubt if this road will ever pav, but say the true game, if the German and Euglish owners have the grit to try it, will be to follow the Klaraa'h to the sea and make a through route of their own along the coast to Sn Francisco, with all the coast counties trade to back it up. Such a route would be shorter and lme a degree of independence ahout it. These are the views of an experienced railroad man whor believes the Central people do not intend to connec; who prophesies that the Oregon and California will not soon get beyond Ashland. Won't that plcae be a terminus? -"Northwest News." Have you ever been at a fire as a disinterested spectator, and listened to the lomments of the ignorant crowd upon the actions of the fire depart ment. If you have not, you hate missed a fine opportunity of hearing the opinions of a lot of snoozers, wlo know nothing at all about it, criticise the manner in which the fire u hand led, and tell any fool who is willing to listen to their senseless chatter, how it should be done. The average knov nothing who attends u fire, reems to think that a fireman mut rush bald headed with a burning building and extinguish it in a moment, whether he has a supply of water or not. If you desire to see the meaner 6idn of human nature, go to a fire and listen to the gab ble of the senseless crowd, which gathers atiout the engines and does its best to impede the work of the firemen There is no situation in the jiumrse where a mean nature crops out as it does at a fire, and it is a study worth taking in. Go to the next fire and judge for yourself. Masquerade Ball ! 3 JEJ jrcZBf J3L3E! OF THE Jacksonville Brass Band TO BE GIVEN AT Holt's HaU, ON February 14, 1884 Rtxeitiox Committee. Wm.
