P. 11. 1. would inspire its purchisad tool to- cotnmenca a policy of intimidation to the people of Oregon, with reference to the intendment of that corporation under certain circumstanc es; and iu confirmation of our predic tion, we find the fulminations of that Compauy dished up in a three-quarter column of lame and impotent conclu sion by Scott, their pU2pet, in the Or egonian, their organ, in the issue of Thursday. It is singularly lacking in dramatic effect, and the proprieties of the woful occasion lack much of ghost ly and solemn paraphernalia, thatBro. Atkinson didliot sing-song a two col umn article of statistics to accompany the lugubrious emanalion3 of Scott, and so produce a concatenation of dole ful sounds that would ha'e inevitably prepared the. people to lay aside the cares of the world and gladly hail the whanging of Gabriel's Horn, content to leave this world of woes and get away from the fustiau of the flesh and the devil. Is the Ionic of Scott, which is a style of word architecture, 4-very thin in proportion to its height," al though florid in style, not to be supple mented by "the simplest'" the Tuscan of Bro. Atkinson? If not, we fear the superstructure of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company tniht as well have never been undertaken, for it surely needs the simplest and the thinnest of architectural styles where two such word masons are the builders. Happi ly for the nerves of its readers, Scott stands forfh solus as the gladiator of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and the direful consequences of oppo sition to the desires of that corporation which . the servants of the people of Oregon all contended for in the halls of Congress, . are related to its gaping readers without the usual two column .support of Bro. Atkinson. As we stated two weeks ago, the 3hisf Engineer of the Company has been started on an exploration to dis cover a level pass over the Cascade .mountains. lie will find one, without :a -doubt, as before 1-jug the Oregonian -will be made to trumpet the assertion; at is part of the programme that it b6 liscovered, and Roberta has mathemat ical instruments of such precision in bis surveying equijiment that ho is pre pared to .prove that Mount Hood is a hole in the ground, and to get across it rith a railroad he would have to bridge a stnEd ous chasm. Tho oft-repeated assertion of Joe Meek could ba conclu siTely demonstrated by Roberts' scien tific surveying just as he who not hav ing the faar of Bro. Atkinson and the ninth Kwnmandment (thou tlilt not lie) in his mind's eye can prove the "World to bo made of green cheese; and can assert -that the Oregonian is not a privy to -tko ends and aims of the North ern Pacifis Railroad managers. "We .think the Oregonian fusilade Js not much of a shower after all, to the think ing of sensible men. When the Orego nian and ATilnor Roberts herald the fimlfhg' I a route less than four or five thousand feet in elevation, they will announce a lie as bald as -Mount Hood, but it will Ve done in the hopes to in fluence the timid in Oregon to yield to the itxactions of the N. P. R. R. Co. We -often and often announced in our contention with the Oregonian in the spring, that the object of the fight -against Mitchell's terms by that coterie was wholly actuated and directed be cause of their -desire and intention, un less foiled, to strike Portland for a, sub sidy of a million dollars, and the State of two or three millions more, for build ing down the Columbia river. The persistent fight of Senator Mitchell thwarted them of this design in the Senate, and they desire to use the inter regnum before the winter session in a sort of guerilla var fare and skirmish at tack against the victor over their in solent pretensions. If anyone ever de served a crown of laurels for worthy and determined persistency for tho right, Senator Mitchell in his contest with this pretentions corporation won this cuaplet; and we think the time is not distant when hi action will be jus tified even to his present enemies, who became purblind to their own interests through the machinations of the paid tools of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and so were found voting acrainst the policy and tho man who will yet receive triumphaut refutation 'of slander from the mouth of his ene mies. It is useless to disguise the sit uation; a robber is on our frontier, with minions powerful as tho result of adventitious circumstances in their service. They menace Oregon with the threat if their desires for tribute are not acceded to by this people that they will build over the easy pass Roberts i3 now out to discover with those wonder ful instruments, and the railroad termi- nal will be made at Tacoma instead of Portland. The Oregonian is the chosen instrument to herald such intention to this amazed community, and Scott is on the look-out to see all pale and down cast at the terrific revelation. But we say to the Northern Pacific Railroad vampires and their stool-pigeons, that so long as tho Columbia river pours its tributary waters to the sea, the silent and relentless hand of Fate points out the pas? of the Columbia river as the natural outlet to the resources of the Treat basin it drains a dozen railroads s. N 11 across the Cascade mountains cannot divert the tide of transportation from the cheapest the water way; and so all the forebodings of evil to Oregon in dulged in by Scott is but the croaking of a miserable toady, dismal and lugu brious because the master hand be hind the scenes, so pulls the wires and inspires the puppet, Oregon is not to be snuffed out by the caprice of the Oregonian or the sharks of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. We feel sure they will come supplicating at the eleventh hour, after their game of bluster now being played proves futile, and beg to enter Oregon under the terms of Mitchell's bill, rather than to have their land grant an nulled and their future eliminated by such a stroke. To Kiss or Not to KLss. Tho Christadelphians of Yamhill Co., got into a row about saluting with the "holy kiss," decreed in Scripture, and some of the membership object to the pastor's prerogatives which he is not slow in indulging, especially on the "sisterins." For solace, we turned as we often do to that immortal bard Wil liam Shakspeare, and the first thing we alighted on is that inspired work which seems to give considerable light upon the vexed question. How truly doth it appear that the Divine Bill had a little of something for everyone, and we re--joice that he especially remembered Yamhill county: To kiss or not to kiss, that is the question , Whether 'tis better iu the mind to sutler And be strong like a nigger at election Or take the sixteenth chapter, sixteenth verse Of Romans, end them? To kiss, to smack ; No more ; and by a smack to say we end The colic, and the other natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be avoided. To lie to cheat; To cheat! perchance to steal,, aye there's the rub To bo sawed oil on some one miserable cuss When we have shuffled off the ear-marked cards Must see the bar-keep; Where's the re s pect That tnakesMcMinnviile deny the parson Who kissesallir. due accord with scripture, The mewling babe, the musty urchin wretch, Th' thick-stubbed faces of nicotined bipeds. The cross old maid, whose vinegar looks Schmeer-kase)tho milk of human kindness. Then, too, old women, whose leathery faces Began to wrinkle on the plains across Some forty years ago; it takes. a stomach Sewed with chain lightning to stand all this Did not the fairer sisterin now and then Come up for fodder at the heavenly fount To stand off the touh ones of the church ; This tribulation did the worthy pastor bear When he himself might his quietus make With a dose of strychnine. Did he not there Through grunt and sweat, under a heavy cross, Ilia duty do? For few and far between In that Yamhill county, from whose bourn Xo statesmen oft return.are comely 3'ouths Or maidens fair to make up congregations And if the reverend brother hath impres'd A holy kiss on all the timber of his diocese lie's sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought ; His taste is spoiled, nor more can be in dulged In the innocent pastime of other lands. We recommend his salary be increased And let there be no back-action. Senatorial Candidates. The convivial feast of crow indulged in recently by the Standard and Ore gonian was hailed by some as the har binger of the dawn of the milleninm, and the picturesque beholding of the lion and tho lamb in mutual lying to gether, prepared us all for the advent of a new order of things. But unhap pily it does not last. There is mani fest and rancorous jealousy that green eyed monster growing np between the previously meek mannered apostles of coalition. It is quite as likely as not that Tony will a "rain reproduce that fac simile "Carl" letter which Scott wrote and lied about so villainously. wherein he averred that if they could not get that "fleshly incubus Judge Deady removed from the bench he would have the ballot-stuffing crew in cluding fatty" in State's Prison." As a counter to this, Scott will doubtless 9 put in print numerous of Tony's pecca dilloes in other days which he some times threatens to bring out of the brine for his benefit. The cause of this, we think is, that both in their in nate worship at the shrine of their own individuality discover that each has his "peepers" fixed on the Senatorship, and Ambition, that fearful disease, has them both in its clutches. Wo fear we are sorry to say it, for it will hurt their feelings- -that if they keep their eyes on the Senatorial seat that some one else will soon have his posterior where they have their eyes, and we would advise them both to be vacating tho coveted premises beforo they get hurt. Try, brethren, over another dish of crow say for instance the feast of good things set before you for being lickspittles to the O. S. N. Co. to cul tivate harmony and forbearance, re membering that half a slice is better than no bread. Suppose one of you should be preferred and go to the Sen ate, the organ would still be left, and would sing just as sweetly to decoy the pestered multitude out of small change. But who would fill the bill of "passing the hat" so deftly as Scott, so amiably as Noltner? It must not be: neither can be spared from the menagerie. China, according to the new Minis ter she has sent us, is satisfied with the Barlingame Treaty and does not want it repealed. Of course not. The Ce lestials are sharp enough to know when tbev have an advantage and to keep it if they can. V " . - v. Letter from Mr. Kinney. Out of grave consideration to Dr. Kinney, the Standard man publishes the following letter from him, which contains more essential suggestion as to beneficial legislation than Tony has touched on in his paper for the last six months; but he passes it over without a word of comment because he cannot gainsay it in the interest of his masters of the O. S. N. Co. He devotes him self to musty editorials as dry as the dust of the Ptolemies on matters over which the Legislature has no control and the people no concern, but for aid or suggestion to Telieve the people of an oppression which is both onerous and odious, the Standard and Oregonian are sealed fountains. Of coarse it is a plain case of subsidize, and everyone knows it. We give the letter: Astokia, Aug. 8, 1878. Editou Standard: In noticing my communication on the narrow guage railroad, you are mistaken in the point at which it was suggested the State should build the railroad. It was from the Dalles portage (from the Dalles to Celilo) and not across the Cascades' portage. I am not iu favor of the State building a portage railroad at the Cas cades. We should instead, make every endeavor to secure appropriations to build the locks and caual as soon as possible. If sufficient appropriation is secured it will-not take more than two years to complete the work, and after the completion of the locks and canal there would of course be no need of the railroad. But even now the distance which it is necessary to transport tho freight from one boat to another is so very short the carrying can be done nearly as cheap on wagons as by rail. This distance is not mor- than one and a half to to miles at fartherest, and if it is proven as I think it will be that steamers with good power can at all stages of water reach the point which the Willamette Chief reached iu 1875, the distance across will be reduced to three-fourths of a mile. But since we cannot hope for an appropriation for the locks and eanal at the Dalles for some time, nor yet for the necessary improvement of the river between the Dalles and Celilo, I suggest that the State build this cheap narrow guage railroad there. With proper restric tions as to the rates, we certainly would have the Columbia as free as the Wil lamette. We can thank a Democratic Legislature for giviug us a free Wil lamette with the completion of the locks at Oregon City. With a Demo cratic Legislature can we not reason ably expect a free Columbia? Not only in justice to Eastern Oregon, but in justice to Western Oregon, that we may retain the trade of the Columbia river basin that rightfully belongs to us. Aug. C. Kixxey. Dr. Kinney's coll to the Democracy to free the Columbia river is, so far as its leaders go, vain and futile. The Columbia river can be freed from the extortion of monopoly by regulating fares and freights whereby the O. S. N. Co. itself can be made to do the fair thing; but while the Republicans will be found solid for this measure, the Democrats are, by the subsidizing pro cess, divided upon it. But we believe the majority of them are beyond the control of the robbers of the upper Columbia, and that restrictions will be imposed which will compel them to carry freights and passengers at rea sonable rates. By opening out the port age road between the Dalles and Celilo to transportation in the order of its ar rival at a fixed price, they will be com pelled to charge reasonably or irvite competition. But Dr. Kinnev does violence to his judgment when he ap peals to the Standa d man for any aid in this endeavor. Joe Gaston the immortal head and front of the Dayton, Sheridan and Dal las Railroad, has all the stubborn in flexibility of a mule, the persistent and intense earnestness of a gad-fly, and the craftiness of the devil. He can come the nearest to feeding the multitude on seven loaves and five fishes of any man of modern times wo ever read of . Joe, in order to get away from the aguo sea son of Wapato Lake, last winter, took a little trip in Yamhill county, atd cap tured it. He warped the broad gauare of the eminent statesmen and savans of Yamhill county to his own contracted prejudice for narroT gague railroads, and twenty to thirty miles of sinuous curve and wiuding, springs Minerva like from his creative brain to thread the fertile soil of Yamhill county and awake the dull prosody of its former state with the shrill echoes of the loco motive. It is said that one of tho moss backs living in the seclusion of its vales and having no knowledge of Joe Gaston or of anything of the capacity oi Yam hill county except for raising statesmen, exclaimed, as he heard the shriek of Joe's first locomotive on its classic plains, "I declare, there is another statesman born; I wonder whose family it is." . Joe wants an endorser, and so he says to tho competing steamboat lines ope rating on the Yamhill, whichever of you join with me in an endorsement for twenty thousand dollars can have all the railroad freights. This is a species of craft which makes him raik as the Napoleon of enterprise and of ingenuity to manipulate all the wires that can be pulled to operate the car of progress. The people of the upper Columbia coun try can set Joe Gaston at work and be disenthralled from thoir present bond age in three months. Mexican dollars, the director of the Mint decides, are only worth their val ue in bullion, which, according to the present price of silver, is about ninety cents. Our own trade dollar is in somewhat the same category. The standard dollar is a legal tender. All this has been again and again publish ed, but it seems difficult to make even those who are interested in the ques tion understand it. CO'JRTSSr OF TOWEHSra The Indian War. Had a hundred determined men con fronted the .Indian malcontents who first became disaffected and warlike, the whole trouble could have been quelled in its ineipiency; but the cow ardly runaway instinct which seized every white man within a hundred miles of the seat of difficulty invited the march of conquest of the red man, and three hundred armed warriors, along with their squaws, pappooses, dogs and horses, took a run through a scope of country where each twenty mile linrt contained sufficient white men to con front and overwhelm them. Instead of doing this, they illustrated the old ad age that he who doesn't fight, but runs away, may live to fight another day, and some twenty-five hundred or three thousand able bodied men in the sec tion of country overran by the Indians, live, owing to their legs, which should ba glorified as the Saviors of much priceless but cowardly humanity. We hope they will live to tell their children, and their children's children, how val orously they withstood the shock of battle in the celebrated summer of " 78," and p reserve scje tangled locks of horse-hair as all that remains of the scalps they took in that ensanguined strife because by frequent repetitionthey will in time begin to beiieve the story themselves, and so in emulation of the supposed heroism of their ancestry, a race of brave people may be produced throngh deception. The end justifies the means, and we hope the person who will swear he killed a Hundred Indiaus will have the bravest children; it must be so, for recompense, which Fate al ways awards. The pendulum having swung far in one direction, let the mu tation of Time by the slow-moving and cumbersome process of procreation bring it back to the opposite extreme. We know better now no illustration of the wherefore that from time to time immemorial the cattle men of the bunch grass region have been called the cow herds of Eastern Oregon. Mates' Kiirhls. The authority of the National Gov ernment is once m6re sharply arrayed against the pretensions of State autoc racy in South Carolina. Officers of the Government engaged in the revenue service detected illicit distilling in the by-ways of that chivalrous State, and in attempting to arrest the guilty par ties, they resisted and fired at the Fed eral officers, whereat, without cause and with malicious intent, the said Federal officers shot back, and corn juice began to exude out of tho apertures not in tended by nature, and one of the sons of the south laid down to die. This desecration of the sacred soil and un holy interference in the manufacture of Democratic sentiment stirred the gall of chivalry to the center. The Federal officers were arrested and imprisoned by the State Courts.and were to be tried for murder before tribunals who worship corn-jnice as a demi-god, and believe he who taiies it except kindly is deserv ing of death. At this stage of the game, Uncle Sam, who had exhausted all di plomacy with tho sovereign State to make tliem see that these officers were doing their sworn duty under Federal laws, and that they must be tried be fore the Federal Courts, puts his foot down and insists by the eternal, they must acceed to his demand, and he is going to see that it is done if half the sons cf the South die in the last ditch, but what the Federal authority shall be respected. Bully for Evarts and hur rah for Hayes. The imprisoned officials will be wrested from tho State author ities by force of arms if they are not soon given up peaceably. The hot heads of South Carolina need discipline. The events of eighteen years ago have died out from the memory of the "oldest in habitants." We want to see the Federal authority respected, even if it causes a holocaust of corn-juice, and an upset ting of the altars of States rights from Florida to Maine. In the competition for the city print ing in Portland, the Dee was the lowest of the bidders by sealed propositions, after which the Telegram came in with a proposal about one half lower than the Dee. and at a price which would not justify a .Chinaman with rice at a cent per lb. The majority of the Coun cil promptly accepted the tender of the Dee, whereat the Telegram .vises turgid upon its auricular, and thieves, robbers, cut-throats, rogues, scoundrels, fools, filchers, Jack Sheppards, Claud Duvals, highwaymen and villians are a few of the choice epithets hurled at the Com mon Council. That body, however, ua mindfnl of the direful clatter from the Oregonian headquarters, can sleep the sleep of the innocent and the just, con scious of having done a duty to the county in saving it from the care of would-be paupers in their insane desire to "get away" with the "busy Dee." Since writing our article with refer ence to the threatened outbreak of. the chivalry of South Carolina, like Davy Crockett's coon they came down and surrendered their prisoner to the Fed eral authorities, discovering that there is not . enough present inspiration in whiskey to make them stand up before TJ. S. muskets and defy the authority of Uncle Sam. It i3 well that the rebel instinct should occasionally be shown the mailed hand of the National Gov ernment, to make them cower back in the lairs of the Resolntions of "98, to suck cold crumbs of comfort from rec ollections of the "grand old days" of their boyhood, when the doctrine of secession was indoctrinated in a Dem ocrat's bide along with his black mam? my's milk. Teach them the new order of things often, as it will do them no harm. BANCROFT LIBRARY E. OF CALITOSNIA ' f The Stocktonites. "We were not particularly fulsome in our adulation of the Stockton tourists when they passed through our town, on account of the volume of their feet and the superficial extent of their ears, and the consequence is that they went home and lied in a villainous manner about all Oregon. We would not care, being used to abuse if they had malign ed us, but to make the State of Oregon suffer is too much. If the Ladds and lassies who perambulated our streets and made tracks which were surveyed as curiosities after they had departed, will only return, we promise them a reception which will be gorgeous in the multitude that will pay them hon or providing they attach themselves to a menagerie. We pity their women, whose ugliness seemed to have been the especial handicraft of Satan, but "'twas God that made them so," and We re press the rising sigh; but for the men if two-legged deformities can be called by such a name our indignation knows no bounds. The fright they caused numerous of our women, it is thought will make its mark on the future. But we await developments before wo de termine what course to pursue against the Insane Asylum city, but this we pray you, don't send any more such men. They did not seem to have any of the ten commandments at heart, and we are sure no care was taken in send ing out a handsome or intelligent as sortment. Choose men of discretion, even if you have to take a few out of State institution, whenever you send us another sample lot. Scott dishes up an editorial on the "Wisdom of Sancho's Grandmother," whose chief merit of distinction, in his view is, that she proclaimed the doc trine: "There are put two lineages in the world the Haves and the Have nots and she stuck to the Haves." This text must have tenanted Scott's cranium when he busied himself in "passing the hat" a few years ago. All he seemed to crave was the Halves, and he got 'em by patient begging until ho was able to make the trip to Washing ton. He further says "to stick to the Halves requires great prudence and in cessant industry." We agree. By in cessant industry in the interest of the O. S. N. Co. and the N. P. R. R. riug, combined with great prudence in sug gesting the amount of his dividend, enough Halves have stuck to him to put him above the reach of penury. How we could bubble over in enthus iasm had we space, in a thrilling topic on the Grandmother of the Oregonian entitled ''The Wisdom (and thrift) of S.ott." Senator Mitchell returned yesterday morning from the East and is now in Portluud. If anyone feels that he owes homage, respect and confidence to a public servant who fought early, late and often in the interest of hi-, con stituents, whose sole ambition it was and is to build up the growing suprem acy of his State; to entrench it3 welfare in lines whose grooves are cut deep and lastiug, and against whose periled interests the assaults of robbers and cormorants found him unmoved and faithful such a one owls his regards to Senator Mitchell, whose course has been such as we have described. He is as high as Olympus above the snarling pack of purchased dogs, who will now be found barking at his heels from the Oregonian and Standard down the long line of pauper sheets which tail on to Democracy for a Lazaroni support.
