ORE AT RAILWAY EXPLOITS.
In the multitude of stupendous under
takings connested with the Chicago
fair the transportation problem has not
been lc iked upon as anything but pro
saic. Being a business matter it has
not been supplied with dramatic inter
est. In European nuntries the effi
ciency of a nation's armament is meas
ured in a great degree by the facility
with which it can concentrate trcops at
a given point by means of railways.
Conc3ntration by transportation is one
of the great strategic problems of mbd-
ern.warfare. The Chicago fair problem,
happily, possesses none of the sanguin
ary aspects invested in the transporta
tion of soldiers, but it is a much more
stupendous undertaking. Heretofore in
America great railway exploits in the
way of transportation have been limited
to fast trains with a small number of
passengers or a temporary accommoda
tion of a great amount of travel. The
Chicago fair problem relates to travel
that may continue for months and will
be practically without limit as to num
bers of passengers. In addition the
tide will be moving both ways at once.
This will invest it with an entirely
novel characteristic and one which will
multiply the difficulties. And, besides,
people will not be content with a poor
service, but will demand and expect
much the same accommodations that
are accorded in ordinary travel. Our
Denver dispatch today intimates a- rela
tively low rate which will tar the capa
city of the roads to demonstrate the
idea.
The death of Jay Gould has brought
many expressive sentiments to the sur
face in the newspaper world, one of the
most intell'gib'e of which, upon the
lesson of a life, comes from the Oregon
ian. We qnote one paragraph : "The
lesson of Jay Gould's life is doubly
plain and wholesome, when it is com
pared with that drawn from the career
and memory of other wealthy men.
There is no support in it for the crazy
socia'ist theory that wealth itself is a
crime; that "property is theft;" that
the rich man is necessarily and justly
without honor. It is not because Jay
Gould was rich that he lived unrespect
ed and died unregretted. It is not even
because he used his wealth selfishly,
employing it neither in charity nor in
industry, nor in public enterprise, nor
in that private extravagance and luxury
which confers an indirect benefit by
employing labor. The mere miser is an
object of public contempt ; but not of
the aggressive and acrid detestation
which Jay Gould inspired. He lived
. and died in dishonor, not because he
- was rich, but because bis riches were
ill-gotten. He was bated because he
took money from others, by means not
the less immoral because the law cannot
reach and punish him. He was detect
ed because his exceptional case demon
strated the French paradox ; because
his property was theft. The public
judgment that held him unworthy of
.honor was none the less true in its dis-
- crimination, between him and other
men no less wealthy, than in the esti
mate it made of himself. Riches are
not immoral in themselves. Selfish use
of riches is contemptible, but not detest
able. The only rich man held in just
and lasting dishonor is he who gets his
riches dishonorablv."
People who talk so freely about the
American farmer feeding' the people of
. Europe do not stop to consider the
great competitor which has sprung up
. in Asia. The population of India has
increased from 220,000,000 to 289,000,
000 within the span of a single genera
tion , aud is now increasing at the rate
of 3,000,000 a year. These people are
raising wheat far in excess of their
home demands, and already their ship:
ments are something enormous. This
production will increase and the sales to
Europe will grow. In the meantime
Russia continues as a great producer of
breadstufls. The time is not remote
when the American farmer must sell his
wheat at home, and without a popular
tion of manufacturers, it will be pretty
. low in price, we imagine.
O reduce our large stofck of Cook Stover and Ranges
now on hand, we will, for the next 30 days, sell cook
stoves and ranges at greatly-reduced prices; we have
marked down every stove iri our house from 1 5 to, 20 per cent
This is an opportunity tcfget an Ai cook stove at a price never
t afore offered. ;

The Walla Walla Union-Journal, home
' organ of Senator Allen, calls upon the
friends of the senator to refute the
charges that are being made against
him. The Union-Journal might try a
hand at that itself, instead of calling up
on others. To begin with it might ex
plain why Senator Allen asked for only
$10,000 Cor the Columbia and Snake
rivers in Eastern Washington while he
was asking for $500,000 for tbe Seattle
ditch. The canal was so "popular" that
it swallowed up the 8,000 republican
majority which Gov. Ferry got three
years ago, outside of King county.
