Railroads for Oregon.
Tlic quohtlon of railroad connection
with tlio Eastern States la ono that
comes homo to Iho pcoplo of Oregon
and Wellington with inoro forco thnn
nny other presented to us at tho preHont
time. It Is true that tho western por
lion of tho coast, except south of Doug
las county, Is provided with averago
facilities for travel nnd transportation
or products, hut tho Stato languishes
because hix hundred miles of sea voy
age Isolato u- from tho rest of tho world,
tho only alternative being that distance
or more of tedious land travel.
No country can prosper as It ought
under such disadvantage". Wo pos.se.ss
rt'Murci's that nro nlmot unequnlcd,
hut they rotnaln in a great measure
iindi'volopt'd hecati-u of tills remote
nesiiiud Isolation from great centers or
trade. Population cannot freely come
to till up our waste places until we have
means of direct communication wjiii
tho Atlantic Mate.
Kit si of the Ca-eadc there U slowly
hut Mtrely devclopinga region or unex
ampled rertlllty mid groat extent, that
contains material lor an empire when
Jl can compete on f.ilr terms with other
IihhN in transportation facilities.
WIiIUm cmagogties aro discriminating
rgaiiiot laud grants and sudsldie.s, this
Hcctlon of our country wait, because
only g' eminent aid, to some reason
able decree, can afford tho means to
insuntiho building of tho road. Tho
l.tnil giunls needed to accomplish this
aro a trlllo compared to tho Immense
wtsto or public domain heretofore- made
to prolligat3 corporation, and it resem
bles tho shutting or tho stable door nf
ter tho horse is stolen, for Congress to
now refuso needed aid, reasonablo in
extent, to tho Tow very Important en
terprises that require- It, and on which
tho prosperity or vast and undeveloped
jroglons must greatly depend.
Senator Mitchell, as chairman of tho
railroad committee, of tho Senate, occu
pies a io-ltion where ho can bo of great
use In procuring aid for whatever rail
roads aro projected for Oregon, hut It
may bo povilhlo to claim too much and
lose all. His bill calling for extension
of the N'orthorm P.urlfloland grant, aud
also for a laud grant to aid tho Dalles
and Salt Lake route, Is subject of much
fommout. No doubt both roads aro
Important, but ono or them Is or imper
ative importance; ir only one can bo
Hceured, wo havo no hesitation In con
cluding that tho Northern Pacific
Hhould be that one, ir possible, as It
will give Individuality to Oregon com
merce and dovelopo n great interior
that would bo tdontlllod with in. Wo
also think the construction or tho North
ern road would spur up tho Capitalists
or tho Union Paclllc company to push
a branch or that road through to the
Columbia river, and so compete, for a
blmro or our trade.
What Is ndeded at homo Is harmony
or opinion and united action, and with
out theio wo may loso tho respect or
Congress and forfeit nny assistance

cour.-o each section has Its especial
railroad project, and believes It tho
most Important. Viewing tho matter
from u common huuulpoint, wlt" "

English Market for Beef Cattlo.
For some time past wo havo recolved
tiles or tho Kdlnbnrgli Scotsman, which
has contained Interesting correspon
dence from ono or tho force travelling
through America and studying tho beer
question, and utter visiting many sec
tions or tho United States and Canada,
this writer sums up his conclusions as
follows:
It is fully recognized by all actually
engaged in tho trade, und many others
who think over tho matter carefully
and impartially, that uothing but tho
very Ust quality of American beer will
over meet with oven reasonablo favor
hi Britain, or really nay reexportation.
As already tatcd, a littio beof of second
quality Is bolus: exported Just now, but
shippers themselves say iiuu mere is a
dmiiror of this damaging the trade
ami as soon as cold weather sots in, and
larger supplies of the best quality ot
beef are available, tho shipping or sec-otid-rato
beef will he iibuudoued. lhit
PATBOHS OF HUSBANDRY.
It li very plain to see that In all parts of
the United States there Is less of the enthusi
asm and eagerness that characterized tho
Patrons of Husbandry at the outset. Al!
such movements are apt to call out wild
and sangulno anticipations and enlist the
sympathy and support of a class who roach
conclusions rashly and nullor disappoint
ment as a natural conncquonco. Tens of
thousands of such Joined tho ordor on specu
lation, bclleylng they could chango tho
wholo order of business at will and ro
model government and society to suit their
Individual Interost. All thnt was ncodod to
attract such to any cause was to cry down
monopoly and declare that tho farmer was
tho most abused man on tho faco of tho
outh. All that was noodod to weakon the
allogiancoofsuch, was to havo him dlscoror
that thoro were no rich spoils to reward the
grangorand that reforms, howover greatly
needed, cannot be accomplished In a day,
and, that capital wonld not surrender all its
hard earned privileges at one summons.
The fact that visionaries and setflsh en
thusiasts havo lost their coal and ovon
withdrawn from tho ordor is no ovldenco
that tho success of tho Patrons of Husbandry
his not far mora than realized tho expecta
tions of tho founder. Wo bollevo, on tho
contrary, that tho wildest anticipations of
tho romnrkablo mind that concolvcd and
u.nliorntod tho wonderful Hystem oi tho
order, no vcr reached to what It hasHulldly
nttnlncii and now portr.anontly remains.
Tho only qtiostloim is if tho solid portion cf
tho dinning community will do (heir part
fultlifiilly to sustain Its principles nnd main
lulu Iho iiscfuliu sh of tho organization, and
wo unliQtltatoliigly bollovo lluy will.
.Vow that lliuro N no spcuulntlon loft to
blind tho oyoi of adherents, and lemon tho
iill'tist nnd results or good principles, It Is
wull worth while- to sit down and count up
nil Its acli IvciuuntH during tlio flow jom It
hits hod existence. Go back only n lmlf r
do.jn years in our national history and you
will find that thoro was no direct and In
(el)iglblo bund of sympathy bo'.wcan ngrl
oiilturlstH, ovon of tho samo county, much
lms ol any rrcat (itato or tho wholo nation
Now tho enso Is vastly different. Tho bond
of sympathy Is direct and can bo iniulo In
tolllglblo at ihort notlco through tho columns
of hundreds of nowspapors that aro doyotcd
to tho IntorcHtH of ngrlculturo, or can bo
hoard prlvatoly through tho tons ol thou
sands of subordinate granges all through
tho nation,
Kurthor than this, this ordor has encourag
ed tiuokoclal progross and Intellectual ad
vancement. It has spread culturo In neigh
borhoods and croated friendship out of In
dllfaronco, Tho points, though so lightly alluded to,
worotho chief of tboobjtctsof tho foundor
of tho ordor, and his mission la finished in
their success, but thoy do not constitute all
by any moans, of the popular advantages
roallr.od.
It Is also (ruo that corporation In busl
noss matters has succeeded in breaking
down aomo odious wrongs aud his roduced
thoprlcoof many things In tho interest of
thofarmor, Wh Ho co-operation has not al
ways suocoodod In its alms, bocausoofin.
Htiulolont oxperlonco, or capital, or both, yet
tho errors mado havo sorvod to blaro tho
road for roasonablo corporation In tho
future, and much has boon ac:ompllahod In
tho prcsont,
Wo look upon tho social features of tho
grango as most valuable of all, aud tho man
or woman who undervalues thcto and sor
rows bocuuso thoro aro not nioro specula
tive rewards to bo soaurod, is unworthy of
tho spirit In which tho order was founded
aud usoloss as a working monitor thoroof.
Tho material that has fallon away from
membership has been an element o? weak
nets In almost oyery caso. It Is posslblo
aud advlaablo to begin aud lay foundations
broadoraud stronger for tho futuro; dis
couraging wild uhemes, depending only on
common senao Idea, good social maxims,
aud true business principles for a still groat
or success,
Wo bollovo tho grange to bo capablonfn
great aud pormanout work If tho lntorostcan
bo sustained and Intellectual culturo and
social intercourse be considered Jn great
put as tho objeets to ba attained. Those
objootaaro practically within roach, whllo
the work of remodeling and purifying the
business of the world, (which stands as the
result of all man's oxperlonco.) must necos
wanly bo slow, and whatovor reforms am
utH'ossary aud attalmblo (aud no doubt
many reforms aro noodod) will come as the
result of combined , practical etlort exorolsed
ns tho result of mature experience. No
Nintll results have already boon nttalutdaud
many more iut follow.
oven this second-rate beef Is many de
grees better thnn that raised on tho
prairies of thoextrnino west and south:
and as the best beef costs about three
cents more, thero is no doubt that the
best quality of American beef Is quite
good enough to command salo in British
market nt a very fair price what that
prlco Is, may bo seen afterwards; but I
do not hesitate to nlllnn that tho ordi
nary, or common beet of America tho
beef or Texans, Cherokees, and tho
"common" American cattle, so often
spoken or in my letters will never
meet a steady demand In Britain, or
realize such prices as would remunerate
Its exporter at leait so long as It ro
malns or tho quality It now is. And I
expect to bo nblo to show that a very
largo percontngo or the wholo Ameri
can supply or beef mutt bo classed as
common American beof. Mv firm Im
pression Is, thnt until both tho class of
cattlo nnd tho modo of their treatment
aro greatly Improved the British mar
kets will nover bo disturbed by tho or
dinary beef of America, but that tho
best qnnllty of American beef will bo
poured in upon us, and will find a mod
erately ready sale nt n certain prlco.
