OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, AIG. 30, 1S77.
The Northern Pacific Road.
We publish to-day a memorial to
Congress asking an extension of time
for the completion of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad. We are in favor of ex
tending the time for the completion of
this road, as it seems to us that this is
the only sure way by which Oregon
will ever become connected with the
East. The Central Tacific and Union
Pacific will never connect Oregon with
their roads as long as they can hold the
trade of the Northwest, but when they
find that the Northern Pacific is about to
be pushed through, they will either
push forward their line by way of Red
ding, or from Winnemucca by way of
Eugene City. We are past a probability
of getting new railroad subsidies. Con
gress and the people have put their
' condemnation on the policy which
has given other States their roads, and
the best we can hope for is this Northern
Pacific road, and while it is proposed
to build the road on the north side of
the Columbia, it is so close to Oregon
and so intimately connected that it will
benefit us very materially, and be the
cause of thoroughly developing the re
sources of our adjoining territories.
The country, however, should not be
retarded in its settlement by giving a
' long extension of time for the comple
tion of this or any other road. The
lands given the company should in
some way be open to purchase and set
tlement. Tne people in Eastern Oregon
have felt this severely for the past five
or six years, and we trust that if the
extension is made.it will be with a view
of both the early completion of the
road and the opening of the lands to
settlers.
We hope the memorial in behalf of
the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake
road will be extensively signed. This
road is really what Oregon wants. It
passes through some of the richest part
of our State, which, if they have no
railroad, remains isolated and deprived
of market facilities. The diversion of
the grant given up by the Northern Pa
cific Company cannot effect its progress,
and we see no reason why the friends of
both these roads cannot work in har
mony to secure the desired end. We
want both of these roads, and to that
end oar iepresentatives in Congress
should work. But while we need both
the roads, we also need the one connect
ing us with the southern part of our
State, and it is our opinion that by an
extension of this grant in favor of the
Northern Pacific, the Central Pacific will
feel its danger of controlling our com
merce and travel, and hasten the com
pletion of their line into Oregon. We
want railroads before we can compete
with other States, and any one will be
of great benefit to the State at large,
'While a particular road will lie of more
direct local benefit to certain localities.
If we allow the next Congress to ad
journ withont an extension in behalf of
the Northern Pacific, we will never get
any more aid for a road on this coast.
iet us improve the time.
Shall we Make a Start!
Next week the County Court meets
for the purpose of fixing 'the tax levy
for the ensuing year. Oar county
finances are in a better condition than
they have been for years, and, accord
ing to the exhibit, but a small debt is
now outstanding. It is scarcely proba
ble that there will be as high a levy
needed this year as last for ordinary
county expenses, as our debt is much
smaller, and we think it a good time to
make a start for a court house. The
year has been prosperous with our farm
ers; they have had good crops and will
realize good prices. They will be better
able to pay the taxes this year, at the
same rates, than they have been the
.year past. Then why not make a start
for a court house ? Would it not meet
with the approval of the tax-payers of
the county to have a building tax levied
this year? A two mill tax on the prop
erty of this county would realize near
six thousand dollars. This -ffould ena
ble nxt summer to commence the erec-
tion 01 a suitable court house, as we
could next year raise an equal amount
e could realize tue par value ot our
second year's assessment, as it would
be out a snort time alter tne laoor is
perfoimed before the money would be
ready to pay for it. Eut suppose we
even wait until the year following, it
would be a commencement, and we
would be sure at no distant day of hav
ing a court house. If we let this time
-pass, the object which every citizen of
this county ought be anxious to see ac
complished, will bo delayed for another
year.
We believe the citizens of this county
would heartily endorse the action of the
County Court if it would levy tho tax,
and Ave trust that it would take the in
itiative step in this matter. We are
paying interest annually for poor ac
commodations on several thousand dol
lars.- Our county is the by-word of the
State, and we are paying annually sev
eral hundred dollars repairs on an old
dilapidated jail. We must soon erect
one in its siead, and why not make
start for both a jail and court house ?
We trust the County Court may show
enough public spirit next week to make
a start in this matter. We watt a court
house, and never can get it. until there
is a start made in that direction. Let
the step be takec next week.
The proposed extra session of the
Legislature meets with but little favor
from the pre33 of the State.
i
The Democrats of Ohio and Pennsyl
vania have adopted platforms.and if they
mean anything on the currency ques
tion, it is to keep the present green
backs as the circulating medium of the
country, and to re-establish the old
silver dollar. They have taken the
late labor strikes in the East as their
cry, and argue from them tht in con
sequence of the preparations now being
made for resuming specie payment, the
finances of the country are so that it
has caused all the trouble. The facts
in the case are just the reverse. There
is apparently a surplus of circulating
currency in the country which has been
unable to find profitable investment,
and the gradual reduction of a currency
which is evidently not needed," cannot
have anything to do with the present
stagnation in business. The Democracy
have heretofore professed to be the
strong advocates of hard money, but
the fact that such advocates of green
backs as Pendleton and Ewing of Ohio
are coming to the front at this time,
shows very clearly that the Democracy
have abandoned all pretence to being a
hard money party, but is th9 advocate
of a floating and irredeemable paper
money. If the Government ever in
tends to keep faith with the people who
have taken the currency created at a
time when the wants of the nation de
manded their issue, it is high time that
a move should be made in that direc
tion, and as Congress has told the
country that on the 1st of January, 1879,
it would resume the payment of its ob
ligations in the recognized currency of
the nations.of the earth, it should keep
its pledge. Nations, like individuals,
to maintain their credit must act hon
estly with those they have dealings
with, and when they fail! in this their
credit must correspondingly suffer, not
only at home but abroad. The Uepub
lican party has endeavored to maintain
its credit with the public, and its pres
ent high standing,not only at home but
with foreign nations, argues that it has
the entire confidence of the people.
Let us try and go back to the standard
currency of the world as soon as prac
ticable, and when, the 1st of January
comes, and it tne country cannot meet
its obligations as proposed, its'credit is
good enough to fill the National Treas
urv with money from other nations to
meet our demands. The people. want a
currency which shall be at par at home
as well as abroad, and that is what the
Republican party is trying to bring
about, without creating ruin or dis
tress upon the country or its commerce
The Northern Pacific Railroad.
The following is a copy of a petition
which is being extensively circulated
To the Congress of the United Stares :
The undersigned, inhabitants of the
State of Oregon, and of Washington
Territory, respectfully represent that
there is great and increasing need of
direct railroad communication between
these countries bordering on the north
west coast, and the interior and Eastern
States; intercommunication now being
impossible, except by a sea voyage of
not less than i00 miles to or from San
Francisco, or bv long, costly and
tedious stage communication with the
Central acihe railroad; the expense
and difficulty of transportation being
such as to seriously retard the growth
of the country, and to deter settlement
upon what would otherwise be the
most attractive timber and agricultm
egions to Le iouuu anywhere
between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, l he people ot this otate and
Territory have relied upon tho com
pletion of the Northern Pacific railroad
to afford them this direct communica
tion with the east, which is so import
ant to their locality, and which they be-
leve would be equally advantageous to
their eastern neighbors. They there
fore respectfully pray that the petition
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, for an extension of time under
its charter, to enable it to complete its
railroad, may be granted and that Con
gress will, in this manner, or in such
modified form as may seem to itbestand
most efficient, encourage and ensure
the early completion of this Croat
national highway, and relieve us from
our existing isolation.
The Silver Dollar.--There is no
dollar of our fathers. The Journal of
Commerce (New York) makes this plain
by the following statements:
There has not beena silver dollar cir
culated in the United States since the
year 1853. The representation that it
was driven out of the country by pome
act passed in 1873 has no foundation in
truth.
After having been out of circulation
in this country for twenty years, and
coined on'y for shipment to China and
other foreign countries, and the trade
dollar having taken its place for the
latter use, the old dollar of 412 J. grains
was dropped when the mint laws were
revised in 1873.
But no law "demonetized" it. I had
been out of circulation for nearly a
quarter of a century before there was
the slightest change in the law con
cerning it,and the only change then was
the fact that the law ceased to mention
it as an authorized coin.
The New York Tribune says: "The
Democrats of four States have recently
had an opportunity to express them
selves on certain vital questions which
touch the credit of the country. In
Georgia they vote for naked repudia
tion. In Virginia they barely escape
making the same record. In Mississippi
they ask the Government to give away
more land and money to railroads. In
Ohio they demand more paper promises
and want the Government to make gold,
silver and paper 'of equal tender and'
inconvertible.' It might be judicious
to give this crowd unlimited control of
the treasury, and again it might not."

Calhoun Supports Hayes.
The abuses of federal patronage are
as old as honest speech in denunciation
of them. In 1835, says the Evening Post,
John C.Calhoun said that" when offices,
instead of Taeing regarded as public
trusts, to be conferred on tue deserv
ing, were regarded as the spoils of vic
tory," "it is easy to see that the certain,
direct and inevitable tendency of such
a state of things is to convert the entire
body of those in oflice into corrupt and
supple instruments of power, and to
raise up a host of hungry, greedy and
subservient partisans, ready for every
service, however base and corrupt." By
and by, when the service has been thor
oughly reformed, when offices are no
longer regarded as spoils, but really are
given to the deserving, men will wonder
that it took inoro than forty years to
make these wise words of Calhoun ef
fectual. It would be well for the oppo
nents of the President's measures to re
flect, if thy ever reflect at all, that the
plan of non-partisan service is not a new
thing, a cunning scheme contrived by a
Republican to reduce certain of his fellow-citizens
to slavery, but that the
principles which underlie it were advo
cated more than a generation ago by
one of the foremost Democrats of his
time. If Calhoun were alive to-day he
would be logically compelled to sup
port Hayes.
Since tha 7th of November to the
present time 00,000 tons of freight have
passed through the canal and locks at
Oregon City, which, at 50c a ton,gives
S3U.00U for the Locks Co. Allen Parker.
one of the Commissioners, thinks tuat
by November of the present year at
least oU.UUU tons will Lave passed
through, giving the Company an in
come for the year of 640,000.
The above, going the rounds of the
press, has been widely copied, and as it
is vastly erroneous we take the liberty
of denying that since the 7th of last
November there has 00,000 tons of
freight passed through the locks, or
even 40,000 tons.
From the fact that the Company prin
cipally interested has made no report to
the Canal Commissioners.although they
are in duty bound to,we do not think those
functionaries have any means of know
ing the exact amount, or anywhere near
it. Our guess as to last seasons freight
passing through the locks is 40,000 tons
and for the ensuing season, with
the increased crop prospects, it
will likely run up to 75,000
tons. We will bet a straw hat that we
have not guessed 3,000 tons out of the
way for the last season, and that Allen
Parker never positively stated as per
the extract.
The Labor Question.
Mr. D. A. Wells, in the July-August
number of the North American Review,
speaking of the labor question, says:
"Either new wants have got to bo found
or created, for the supplying of which a
larger field for the employment of la
bor will be afforded than now exists, or
else the emigration of labor from tho
country and the formation of a perma
nent pauper class among us will begin;
and he continues: "IIow to create these
new wants, how to find a new avenue
for trade or enlarge those already exist
ing, and how thereby to find or develop
new employment for the masses, are
therefore the most important questions
of tho hour that can occupy the atten
tion of the statesman, the legislator, and
the merchant; those whoso business it
is to educate through the school or
press; those whose mission it is to teach
morality aud religion."
There is a little donbt that many who
go down to the sea in ships are more
afraid of sea-sickness than of tho hidden
dangers of the deep. A London (Eng
land) man steps forward with a remedy
for the malady, which ought to be hail
ed with delight by voyagers. It is
apomorphia, and a very small dose of it
taken once an hour in water will remove
the qualms. They are so certain of its
success that they are going to procure a
gratnitious circulation of it among ves
sels that carry passengers.
The victory of the workingmen in
Louisville at the recent election of
members of the State Legislature was
pretty complete. They carried five of
the seven legislative districts by major
ities of 452, 1,073, 108, 897 and 1,003.
The Louisville Courier-Journal is a good
deal vexed at the result, and calls it "a
victory of the mob over the conservative
elements of society." The Republicans
in the election pretty generally sup
ported the workingmen's candidates.

Salt Lake, Aug. 25. A fearful wind
and rain storm passed over eastern Ne
braska and Kansas last, night. It blew
a hurricane at Omaha. At half-past 3
this morning two spans of 250 feet each
or the Missouri river bridge at Umaha
went down, it is supposed from the
force of the wind. The piers are all
standing. Passengers and freight will
be ferried there at present. The stable
of the omnibns company at Omaha was
blown down, which is all the other
damage reported. The telegraph wires
which crossed on the top of the bridge
are all broken, but it is expected some
of them will be connected across during
the day. The bridge is a total wreck,
and for the present all trains from the
coast, will probably have to transfer
passengers and freight at Plattsmouth,
on the Nebraska and Missouri Valley
Railway. There are various surmises
as to the immediate cause of the acci
dent to the Union Pacific bridere. but
the general opinion is that it was a cyc
lone which struck it. John Pierson,
night watchman, was at the guardhouse
at the east end, at tho time the accident
occurred, and had a narrow escape from
death. lie was penned in the river for
half an hour before being able to extri
cate himself. The loss is estimated at
about 8350,000. It will probably take
two or three mouths to rebuild the
structure.
St. Louis, Aug. 20. The workmen of
this city held a large meeting at Turner
Hall this afternoon for the purpose of
organizing a political party. Several
of those who took nn active part in the
affairs during the recent strike, were
present. A number of speeches were
made, all in favor of pressing their
claims to the ballot-box. The result of
the meeting was the adoption of a pre
amble and resolutions declaring that
for the first time in the history of the
country the laboring and wealth pro
ducing element stand face to face with
capital and non-producers: that this
coudition of things has been produced
entirely by continuous exactions, op
pressions and robbery, direct and indi
rect, of the whole working people by
said non-producers; therefore we sever,
now and forever, all connection with
the political organizations now existing,
and form a workingman's party, to be j
composed of workingmen only; that the
highest duty of working men is to unite
in one great brotherhood against, the
common enemy, and that we will here
after in our political action have noth
ing to do with any candidates for offices
who are not working men and also who
do not thoroughly represent tho inter
ests of workingmen. Delegates from
the different wards of the city and trades
union were appointed, who will consti
tute a committee to prepare and carry
out a plan of action for the next polit
ical campaign.

CANCER CAN RE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been
great scourge to the human race, and is now
becoming the greater. For many years it has
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally believed by the people, that Cancer is
incurable ; that once it s roots take hold upon
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a lingering and terrible deal h ; a death
surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor
rible, not only to the sufferer, but to his
friends. Happily this fell dest rover need no
longer be feared. Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, a well known physician, of large ex
perience, has for four years devoted himself
to the siccial study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery for the radical cure of Cancer, without
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters,
and without pain.
The majority of persons are greatly deceived
In regard to the. first symptoms and appear
ance of this most, dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely grave. In most cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms for many months, and
even for years, are occasionally a stinging,
darting, stabbing, shooting, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If
malady Is growing worse instead of
better, it is conclusive evidence it is of a
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny, scaly,
warty appearance, with an occasional break
ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any ot her portion of the skin, attended with
any of the above symptoms, oi a sensation or
a fly being on it, of a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there should
beno delav in using Dr. Bond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. Bond's treatment consists of an "Anti
dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar
rests t he growth of the Cancer, and by chemi
cal action neutralizes its malignity, render
ing it harmless and changing it to a simple
sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional
remedies, soon heals (when the skin is un
broken and the Cancer is a hard tumor, the
Antidote does not make an open sore, but re
moves it. by absorption). In connection with
the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in
ternally. This tones up tho general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood,
and eliminates the poison from the system ,
Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither caustic
nor poison, and can be applied to the most
delicate tissues of the body without injur
andi hcrefore is the only remedy that can be
used in internal Cancer, such as cancer of tho
stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond
