THE RAILROAD BILLS.
TI.e following dispatch announces
tbe introduction of two bills in con
gress (one in tbe house and one in tbe
senate) to compel the further con
struction of tbe Oregon and California
railroad :
- San Francisco, March 2 The bill
introduced by Senator Slater to pro
Vide fur tbe completion of the Oregon
t California railroad is a copy of the
b;ll recently introduced by Represen
ative Whiteaker authorizing the Ore
gon legislature to designate the
corporation to complete the rood in
case of failure by the present company
within the specified time.
Our inquiries lead to the statement
that within the present year the
Oregon and California Railroad Com
pany must construct twenty -one miles
of railroad to secure certain rights and
privileges as set forth by an Act of
Congress. If we are correctly informed
as to tbe law. the chances are that ere
long the railroad may be constructed
to CanyonviUe, since the matter of
six miles of construction is compara
tively nothing to so powerful a corpo
ration as tbe Oregon and California
Railroad Company. It may be,
however, that the railroad company
know their business better than do out
siders, ana Maters ana ty uiteaiers diiis
amsuut to caught. All our readers
will remember that John M. Thomp
son was the author of a bill In the last
Oregon legislature, attempting a
grading of rates, and all this work of
Mr Thompson was done simply for
Via MMMn 1 1 1 a t trtA ful-mora rf rtifi.
tation of their products to market
i
tUL go tbe producers and exporters
of Lane"c'cflttjJIr. Thompson prob
ably thought that it was unjust that
Douglas county should be so favored;
but he did not better (be matter by
Lis attempt to saddle upon the farmers
of this county an extra, expense in the
way of increased rates of transpotation
for products sent to market. It can
not be denied that the company, by
the terms expressed in Thompson's
bill had that bill become a law, would
have been compelled to make an uni
form rate of tariff in all articles, it
matters not where they were sent from.
It Is certain the company would not
have cut down rates from Portland to
Eugene, and it would have been im
possible for the company to but have
added on freight in proportion for
seventy-seven miles more of transpor
tation upon our farmers. One with a
pencil can readl Jy see what the increase
of rates would have been to our
furtneis bad Thompson's bill become
a law, when the remainder of the road
Is found to be only 126 miles against
7 miles. Thompson's bill would have
doubled our rates of transpotation,
since the rates from Portland to Eugene
would have been necessarily kept up
to the termination of the road in ratio
to distance traveled.
But it may have been thought by
Mr. Thompson bis bill would have
decreased rates all along the line o'
the road. There is here a doubt In his
favor, yet it must be admitted that
Thompson, Whiteaker and Slater
were warm friends, and there is
reason to believe that Mr. Thompson
hal, perhaps, a feeling of enmity to
wards tbe people of this county, aud
when be failed to control the Oregon
legislature against the railroad com
pany be disliked as well, he came to
tne conclusion to' appeal to congress
through Hon. John Whiteaker and
Hon. James H. Slater In the fur
therance of his ideas of econo
my or bis hope of vengeance. In
either event, it is certain there
taunt have been a spark of jeal
ousy in the heart of Mr. Thomp
son for the people of Douglas county,
"or in th carrying out of tbe one idea
of a rediicUon of .freights tie was re
gal dlt-se tt every other, consideration.
inwrtcinsion, lei as ssy this much
in fator of the raftroai company in
qutkJt has-rer done other
wise exteadfrlMi 'ahfp to our peo
ple, Ibd there never -4JfH be another
rallrtad nr another cbiiporation which
will be so generally eweemed by tbe
producers of Douglas Vounty, No
one here can grumble Bp Roseburg
should the road be continued to Ca-
yonville and even beyond titutt place.
The company has treated us aJl favor
ably; has kepi in running order the
road from this place to Eugene when
by so doing it sustained a heavy pe
cuniary loss. It ould be better) to
blame those who would force tbe com
pany to Uke its terminus into Jack
son county rather than permit Doug,
In cmintv to eniov iU benefits. Of,
course, we will be satisfied if the termi
nus Bhall remain in CanyonviUe; but
once a move is made, the chances
are more than even that there it will
not stay, but continue on uutil con
nection Is made with Califor
nia. Home ruav arnrue such will
be all the better for this coun
ty ; ; but this is a mistake. When
a railroad line passes through a county
tbe towns in that county must neces
sarily become DO-htng more than way
stations, through which trains but
flit; and let the rallroaJ go oa through
to California and such towns as Rose
bnrg and Jacksonville are now, cen
ters of a flourishing trade, will be left
dependent for their prosperity upon
the trade that will come only from
their immediate surroundings. The
trouble Is that every intermediate
town will become a station of its own;
its products will not be shipped
through the heretofore commercial
centers. These centers will then but
become plodding hamlets not more
than ''smiling villages" and the
dreams of their inhabitants result in
the nothingness of extreme disap
pointment. Their only means of
self-preservation will lie in their
ability to build branch rosds to the
sea coast, or to points which will af
ford new avenues of trade not affected
by the through line. How far such
centers will be able to thus protect
themselves is a matter to be decided
by time and future developemeuts in
natural resources attracting foreign
capital. Let this be understood, how
ever, that the town or city which pos-
I Besses the most energy will certainly
take care of itself, and those who have
but little energy must lag behind in
the race for perpetual prosperity. If
the railroad passes on beyond Its pres
sent terminus, and Roseburg declines
in wealth and prosperity, it will
be all on account of want of energy-and
enterprise 'in its citizens.
We have natural advantages and are
centrally located If we fail to apply
what God has given us to a proper
end, then no one will be to blame
but ourselves, and if we do not work
for the town's Interests in opening up
and fostering new sources of trade,
when business declines and tbe town
becomes a trading point only, we must
not and cannot charge the faultagainst
our neignbors, for tbey will not be
guilty. The moment that the preseut
railroad passes, the town must, as a
matter of self-preservation, aid in
building another railroad to Coos Bay.
MINERAL STATISTICS.
A circular received from the Pacific
bpiik of San Francisco furnishes some
interesting statistics of the amount of
precious metals produced in the States
and terri.ories west of the Missouri
river, including receipts from British
Columbia and the west coast of Mex
ico, during the year 1879. Nevada
takes the lead with a product of $21,
997,714, is followed by California with
$18,190,973, and Colorado with $14,
413,515. Oregon is only tenth in the
list, her product amounting to only
$1,037,961, and Washington territory,
with her little 85,336, falls at the bot
tom of the whole list of sources,
amounting to thirteen. Besides the
States named Oregon is behind Idaho
over $1,000,000, ditto Montana $2,000,
000, Dakota $3,000,000 and Uah $4,-
000,000. The total product is $73,349,-
501, of which $3,539,920 was gold,
$38,623,812 silver, and $4,185,769
lead. To this total must be also ad
ded the yield In quicksilver, which
amounted to $73,879 The exports in
silver, to China, Japan, the Straights,
etc., reached the very large sum of
$46,000,030, as against $39,000,000 in
1878. , Besides the above showing the
Pacific coast exported in 1879, 12,074,
D'J7 centals of wheat and flour. After this
showing who can doubt that the Pa
cific coast States and territories (with
out counting other products) are suffi
ciently wealthy, if necessary, to con
stitute an empire or government with
in themselves. . Half of their resour
ces are yet but practieally developed.
Who can estimate what will be tbe
sum total of their wealth, aud tbe
amount of their products, by the time
they have enjoyed tbe advantages aud
time that have the original thirteen
States ? An hundred years from
now, and it is likely It will be difficult
to say what portion of the Union is
the richest aud greatest.
To-day the democratic primaries
of this county will be hel l iu tbe vari
ous precincts. If the members turti
out in full force, and defeit the efforts
being made by tbe Fink ring to secure
tbe delegation to tbe State convent ion,
it is certain they will do no more than
their duty. The party cannot accom
plish its mission and become the tool
of any one man or tbe instrument of
any ring. It is rings the people are
contending against, and they certain
ly can not love or respect the ac
tions of the men nominated by a
convention run in the interests of a
ring. As an outsider who has no feel
ing in the primaries, we give this ad
vice to those who will become mem
bers of tbe county convention, and
assure them, that if tbey forget that
tbey represent the ring aud not tbe
people, however much they may hope
to hide it, the cloven feet of the ring
delegates will ultimately be seen by
the people who are to be the final
judges on the 'first Monday of next
June.
If the testimony of the painters who
worked on tbe Glasgow bridge last
summer is not exaggerated, the re
sponsibility of tbe disaster which cost
so many lives will rest upon tbe
managers of the railroad. At the in
quiry now being held in Dundee, sev
eral painters testified that a support
ing column of the high girders was
cracked, and was only kept in place
by iron hoops; that many bolts were
missing, and many rivets lacked
heads; and t bat, while at work, the
passing of trains frequently caused the
bridge to sway so badly that they
feared it w uld fall. This is strong
evidence; but it has become so com
mon, howevei, for juries -and com
mittees of inquiry to pass a simple vote
of censure upon the criminal careless
ness of corporations that the result
may be tbe same in this case.
Tbe Iowa legislature is practical or
nothing. It does not waste time in
debating on the meaning of Hellogab
alus as a slang term, nor does its
members exchange rare bits of bil
lingsgate as a relief to the arduous
labors of law-making. The legislature
coucerns itself with a domestic evil
leomargarine. It has a nice taste in
butter, and both houses have just
passed a bill, making it an offense,
punishable by a heavy fine aud im
prisonment, to manufacture oleomar
garine. Congress could not do a more
sensible thing than to follow suit.
An effort Is being made by the
'.treasury department to set on iu feet
Ibe cattle trade with England, which
raa ruined by the pleuro-pneumonla
tcitement. A bill will soon be intro
duced Into congress, providing for the
appointment of a commission to in
vestigate whether the disease, so
dreaded by English authorities, is still
fondd among western catllle. A favor
able Report of such a commission, it
is thought, would have weight enough
to Induce the English to rescind the
order against tbe Importation of Amer-
lean beef;
BUSH'S COLLAR.
Under the above caption the demo
cratic Mercury of Portland has tbe
following of interest to the democratic
party :
Democracy in Oregon has at last ar
rived at tbatcomplexion when it wears
without a murmur of dissent, theeollar
of A. Bub. it is useless to attempt a
disguise. Kvery poluit-al movement
in this State since the inuuguratiou f
VV . W. Thayer has bad for its olject
the exaltatiou into power of that man
more hated and despised than any
other man of any party in any State
in all this Union. The object seems
now to be accomplished, and the plia
ble politicians wear the collar with
the docility of dogs licking the hand
that has trounced them. Some of
them indeed lick their chops greased
with the food that Bush has caused to
be given them, fattening thera as slaves
to do the will of their master. The
collar has been put upon the necks by
brute force, but with bold and brazen
impudence. The men who have done
the job, lacking in every other element
of genius and greatness and lacking io
every quality of leadership, hava dis
played that one only quality of audacity,
but t has been the audacity of the reck
less villain who thoroughly knew Mi
ground and the subjects of his at
tack. Bush, -with the leverage
of the governor to start with,
first made his ring of democrats and
republicans, taking in the corpora
tions. Then he provided for proteou
tionsagainst the politicians of Glover's
administration, they being the chief
democratic political element of the
State; then he made bis courts by ap
pointment to carry out- his decrees
against those politicians wbo should
fight; then he interested certain in
fluences which controlled democratic
Eaperg, as the Fiuk-Gazley ring to
ave their cases decided for them for
their controlling the Star; Prim to
control the Times; J. H. Turner, of
Kast Oregonian, made brigadier-general
in the militia to control that
paper; Mart Brown, of the AIiany
Democrat, ditto, and he was aleo ued
to force him to terms;Tom Merry ,of the
Inland Empire, was made tlsti com
missioner to control that paper, and
Tony was bought outright at the
proper time. The whole o. Graver's
administration was caught up by
these prosecutions; terms nave ien
made and now it is likely the bi:Ue
convention will be turned over to
Bush withouta serious struggle. Late
ly we have learned that Chad wick
has gone in with them. This means
the release of the sheriffs from the
suits for tbe illegal fet s.
THE CHINESE EXODUS.
It now appears as if the eastern peo
ple who have pooh-poohed the Cali
fornia view of Chinese immigration
aud Chinese competition in the labor
market are about to have an oppor
tunity afforded them, of judging the
question from a practical standpoint,
based upon their own experience of
the subject. A very considerable Chi
nese exodus from that State has begun,
aud the eastern sentimentalists, who
have heretofore regarded ihe wno'.e
subject on its abstract ami theoretical
side, are about to have their attention
called to its practical workings. They
are now in a fair way of having a
closer view of the Mongolian brother
than has heretofore been afforded
them. The Chinese have taken uu
their eastward march, and unless we
are greatly mistaken tbe Asiatic in
flux will speedily produce a modifica
tion of eastern opinion on tbe subject
of Chinese labor. Chicago aud New
York have already received large in
stallments of the Chinese emigration
from this coast. But the influx has
not yet been sufficiently large to en
able the people of Illinois aud New
York to realize the evils of which Cali
fornia has so long complained. And
yet there are already, at this early
stage of the exodus, unmistakable
symptoms that tbe presence of China
men in eastern communities will
speedily bring about a modification of
the views heretofore prevalent in that
quarter.
In England a princess might con
clude not to hold a projected icvee and
no one would be seriously disappointed.
Such is not the case in Canada, how
ever. When the princess of Lome, on
account of an earache, talked of giv
ing up the idea of a grand reception, a
committee of merchants ixgged her
to hold it, as the sale of thousands of
dollars worcb of dry goods depended
on her decision. The ears of an ordi
nary women are valuable chiefly to
herself, but those of a Cauadian prin
cess may advance or disastrously affect
the welfare of com"aerce. .
Capt. Hemphill and his bride are
sailing down tbe Ohio and Mittsotiria
rivers on their honeymoon tour ina
boat built expressly for tbe purpose.
No other soul is aboard tbe craft, which
is gayly bedecked with flags and ever
greens and is greeted on the way with
steam whistle aud cannon, the bride
groom beinga popular man and known
to all steamboat men.
There has been organized in the city
of London what is termed the Salvation
Army. Its members march through
the streets to the sound of trumpets,
and they call their church a Salvation
Factory. Some new-fangled method
of saving souls by the use of machine
ry has probably been invented.
An Iowa bridegioom who meant to
"throw" the marrlaze, was run down
by two dogs and eight farmers, and
married with his feet tied together.
The girl was no sooner made his wife
