GIVE I'S HELP.
Tlio cry which nous abroad from
Oregon Is like that which the apostle
licanl In early time: "Come over lull
Macedonia and help us" Oregon ha
need of help and help, is afar oil".
Thousands of weary miles lie between
our Inviting fields and the sources from
whence population and labor must come
to occupy and till them. One by one
tho hopes and expectations we have
cherished grow dimmer and less neai

transit of the emigration we so much
desire and which so much desire to
come and cast their lots with us
When the I'nelllo Jiillroad bills were
pascd theiu should have boon pro
visions made for money aid for our
Oregon brunch of that road; but the
golden opportunity was lost and when,
In coure of time, a laud grant wa
secured for tho Oregon and California
road, It did not oiler security for Its
completion and we remain with a
mountain region of about three hun
dred miles burring us out from tho
benellts of emigration. Kor the emi
grant hesitates to make the disagreea
ble voyage by sea to thu Columbia
river.
Tho North I'acllh: road prom l-ed u
tho advantages we so much needed,
hut the failure of that enterprise leaves
us little to hope for from that source
for many years to come. M'o cannot
rciiMinnhly expect that in this day
when every party pionounces against
land subsidies any grant can bo secured
for the Portland, Dallesand .Salt Lake
road, oven though the necessity of the
road is conceded by congressmen, and
they recogi.lo Unit the laud has no
prospective value unless such a road Is
built. Congressmen are nearly all
elected on anti-land grant platforms,
and party consistency must be pre
served whatever the coiiMMpiences to
tho whole northwest region.
What we need Is population tnulloril
a marketforproductsand muuuOiclurcs
and to open up Ileitis for enterprise. A
region whieh could and should support
millions, Is restricted to a sp.iroo popu
lutiou)or oik' hundred thousand persons,
and wo Import many articles in ordina
ry u-e for the simple reason that there
is not a demand to sustain steady man
ufacture, and there Is no foreign mar
ket to demand our exports, except for
tho single article of liromlstuirs, and
that demand is precailous and uncer
tain.
Then (he great problem for Oregon
to solve is: llowcau we gel population'.'
for population Is tho foundation of all
prosperity. It strikes us that wo might
to advantage pattern alter the example
of Much States as Kansas and Texas, and
while practicing the most rigid econo

tho result of woman's prayers to (Sod

tho fact that a large portion of that Con

with the li. dependent movement, and
sought to pacify thu popular demand

reforms are always ultra, and no half

complish them. Right knows no com-pronil-e,
and as Mr. Mlnto declines to
be an apologist for tho corrupting influ
ences of his old piny, we cannot sue
that consistency could be otherwise
sustained than by re-motfully declining
to accept the Republican nomination.
Ho has staled his case s0 well that we
