The Pretensions of the N. P. 15. R.
Bat two weeks ago we called atten
tion to the fact that soon the magnates
of the X. 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.

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.

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.

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

"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

pray you, don't send any more such

of the ten commandments at heart, and
we are sure no care was taken in send

even if you have to take a few out of

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.

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.
