The destiny of their city is in their own hands. No place in Oregon has a brighter future, provided only her people are true to themselves and to their intcrcat.s. Surrounded by a wide extent of territory tributary to lior trade, the gateway to the great mineral region, the natural metropolis Of a fortile territory, a young and vig orous eitv dotted all over with infant industries, all in a healthy condition, nothing but the apathy of her own people can prevent her from becoming in the near future one of the most important inland cities in the statu. But wo must work. Nothing is ever accomplished without effort. The mine has to be opened before it yields its profit; the field line to Lo cultivated before the golden harvest. So with a town. JUs advantaged have lo bo developed and utili'.ed beforo its ieo pie profit by them. Its puoplo must be in earnest. They must bu united. There must be no jealousies. There must be public spirit. There must be loyalty to their town and w.otion. Every one must unoouragu and talk up every enterprise started for the benefit of the town and county, no matter who inaugurated it, nor who i chiefly benefited by it. The only question that we ought to ask is, la it for the good of Union? Wo have the Hituution, the resources and the advantages. Nothing is wanted but effort work, action, united action, organized action. Away with jealousy, suspicion, envy and distrust. Soon the paralysis in business and the unparalleled stringency in the money market, which has hung like an incubus upon prosperity every where, will bo a moinory a thing of the past. Already the dawn of pros perity appears in tho east. The mil lions of our gold that wont to Europe in tho early summers are flowing back'. Already monoy is easy and trade good in the commercial centers. Soon tho tide of prospoiity will roach us. Let tho friends of the (Jueen City bo ready to catch it, remembering that there is a tide in the u Hairs of cities, as well as men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. Lot us bo ready to take it at the Hood and it will lead us on to prosperity and fortune. ni:rmuiATioN or 5NSIONS. Lieut. Allen U. Eoote, tho founder of thu socioty of Loyal Volunteers, contributes tin article to the Forum, under tho above head. Promising that u feeling, mixed with political dread and mir-eoudueted motive, that juatiuo joins gratitude in demanding that thu nation's ox-soldiurg bo treated justly, and indignation nt the poralst ont and over-inoroiisiiig demands of a curtain clnss of e-oldior, has kept mou silent and opposition still, he thinks that the scandal hits reached n maguitudu that call for a protest, and that this otin come from no bettor squroe, because free from nil doubt of motive, than the exubkliers them Selvoa, hi tin courageous and indig mint utolest against the odium which the soldiers have largely brought upon themselves, Lioutonmit Fool but gives expression to an opinion prevalent among the survivors of the army to a muoh greater extent than is generally lolievod, and which is almost unani mous among the business classes, opociilly those of them to whom tho war is but a legend, If honorable service in the war, from its opening to its olotc, ponsiou for wounds received in buttle, confer any right to have ami ojeprass any opinion contrary to tho - popular one, then Lieut. Footo has that right and hu makes full usu of it Ho ropolld with indignation tho latter claim that a puiisiou Is moroly the payment of a tlotit whiuh tantalus untuquited. "Did you," lie asks, "at that Hint) volunteer to defend the old Hag at tho rate of if II) a month or fur any oilier muroeuury ooiultlunttion, either present or piopuotlvoY If you did, you liuvo no tight to jiy.o as loyal defender of your ootinlry, or lo share In llm gratitude of (lui uutlon," J lu Wy If Wl'llur iu(itt'i In (hu rvi Hiiy Imjwlnnuiit of tils (mining wp4ly, mUy own It In IM( lo sua IImM liu iim m wtfVr by t hut ilili docs not imply that a pension should bo granted. Occupation, opportunity to earn a living, may bo given and accepted with mutual benefit. No eoldicr possessed of a means of gaining a livelihood should ;isk or bo given a pension. For the helpless abundant provision should bo made. He regards it as a most humiliating admission that under the dependent pension act there have been granted 114,757 pen sions, with -182,181 additional claims filed. Nearly 000,000 ex-soldicrs who are willing to admit that they cannot make a living and must bo supported. Three-fourths of the 1,208,707 soldiers arc now pensioners or applicants. If any of them can earn a respectable living, why shouldn't he? If they are not willing to, why should they be put on a roll of honor? He would have a county commissioner of pensions to co-operate with the citizens in seeing that no worthy volunteer is without aid and that the unworthy got none. If thoso able to make a living and the unworthy ones arc eliminated from the rolls', the pension budget will be one hundred millions less than the estinuto for the year ending June .'10, 18i)2. Tub new mortgage tax law which has just gone into clTcct in Michigan provides for the taxation of mortgages at their face value, no matter where they are owned, the owner of the prop erty which is mortgaged lo have his assessment reduced by the amount of tho mortgage. It is provided that the taxes on a mortgage may bo paid by the owner of the property, and the amount so paid may bo applied by him on the interest due tho bolder of the mortgage. As this is an experi ment its results will be closely watched. Tub government and people of Spain propoto to celebrate the -100th anniversary of tho discovery of Anieri- oa by holding an oxpositi" u at iMadrid, which will open September 12th, and continue until the ,51st- of December, 181)2. -A cordial invitation has been extended to the United Statos to take pa;t in this commercial relation, and as Spain was one of the first nations to express the intention to participate in the World's Columbian ExpoMlion, it would be very appropriate fpr this government to give this invitation its friendly promotion. The Nicaraugua Canal. The U. S. government ought to un dertake and construct this canal with out delay, and push work as fast as men and money can do it. It should be made a free Avaterway by which the ships carrying the wheat and other products of our Pacific coast could pass to the Atliftitic cities and to Eu- j rope. California, Oregon and Wash- , ington should unite and demand this at once of the general government. It j should not be left lo private enterprise . and become a monopo'ly. Tho whole j country is interested in this great work of great national importance. To see this work being accomplished will in crease our love of our country. It would bind in closer ties of commerce and friendship our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It would increase our com merce on the seas and enablo our country to control the trade -vith ! South America. When we reflect upon the great im portance of this great enterprise, it appears passing strange that our gov ernment has not built this canal years ago. It is necessary for tho protection of our Pacific coast, so our vessels can pass from one part of our country to another without sailing around Cape Horn. The immenso traffic of Cali fornia, of the great Columbia vallcv and of Puget Sound, seeking a market in our Atlantic cities and in Europe should not be compelled to incur tho danger and expense of navigating the rocky coast of Patagonia. Lot the representatives of the Pacific coast in congress unite and demand that this groat work be undertaken.
