Alt t : "The spike of gold driven yesterday on the line of the California and Oregon railroad, wede two great states in bonds of lasting nnity. Tbe iron rails -which stretch from the bay of Ban Fran cisco to the great river of Oregon, nnite in commercial strength and power the northern and the southern metropolis of ibe Pacific coast. They are no longer amoea oy vast stretches ot plain and mountain; by the tamaltoons billows of A fretful sea ; bat are cemented by a great artery of trade along which throbs the restless energies of two great commani ties. For more than a third of a century Oregon and California hare shown to the older civilizations of the continent what could be accomplished by the adrentor ooa heroism of the pionee! s they sent to found new empires in the west. From the sullen desert and the frowning moon uun in me sonin and the bleak prairies of the north, they have evolved the most prolific and fertile fields of agriculture in the republic; and now these commani ties, standing like mighty sentinels of in Wastry and liberty upon the uttermost extremities of the continent extend their hands te each other in mutual friendship and interest, and cement the anion with bonds that were never known to relax trade, commerce and railroad progress. ine guttering steel, which, like two threads of ribbon, extend from the green waters of oar bay to the tawny currents of the Willamette, are vital agencies of a -commercial anion, that will live, we trust, forever. The ceremenies at Ashland yesterday, the account of which will be found elm -where, were a fitting celebration for this great event, and for that celebration the -Alta claims at least a part of the credit; lor it was the Alta that first suggested mat tne importance of the occasion de manded this recognition as a public work, a work in which the people of the whole urate of California are interested, and whose benefits they will feel for all time to come."

An old friend of the Statesmjui, whom its readers shall know as "Uncle John," has been reading the message of the president and be reason as follows "This wrong inflicted upon those who bear the burden of national taxation, like other wrongs, multiplies a brood of evil coneeanences. The pablic treasury. which should exist only as a conduit conveying the people's tribute to its legitimate otiecUelexDenditare.beeomes a boarding place for money needlessly withdrawn from trade and the people's ne, thus crippling oar national energies, suspending oar country's developemect, preventing investment in productive en terprise, threatening disturbance and in viting schemes of public plunder." Uncle John, reflecting, says, "That sounds well," and reads on several pas sages tending to show how the great dan gers of too much money in the treasury bare been avoided since G rover Cleve land became Uncle Sam's steward, and comes to the following : "Oar scheme of taxation by means of wbicn tnis needless surplus is taken from the people nd pot into the pablic treasury consists of a tariff doty levied upon importations from abroad, and an internal revenue levied upon toe con sumption, of tobacco, spirituous and malt liquors. It must be conceded that none of these things are, strictly speaking, necessaries. Tnere appears to be no juat cause of complaint of this taxation by the consumers of these articles, and there seems to be nothing so well able to bear the burden without hardship any portion of the people " Uncle John puts in his say : "Hold on there. This reads to as though there was something that Grover Cleveland does not want to see. Um (reflectively) 'Strictly speaking, there are many other things we use and abase that are not necessaries.' It is, from Gro ver Cleveland's showing, not only not ne cessary bat dangerous for Uncle Sam receive this internal revenue money into his strong box and leave the evils and the burdens which flow from the abuses of these things to be carried by his daagh ters (the states) from New York: to Ore gon. Who are kept busy counteracting the evils? The pulpit and the platform lecturers, and these say that the evils are so great as to make it asm for a great. grand character like Uncie 8am to make himself dangerously rich by taking these things. Who supports this army of talk ing people ? The working people,of coarse : And who keeps ap the orphans ' home, the city and county jails and the state insane ssylums and penitentiaries that are largely filled by the abuse of these things? The people of the cities, towns, counties and states. Does Uncle Sam help his daughters (the states) any in meeting the costs (to thefr citizens and communities) of drankeness, insanity, crime and poverty which is directly trace able to the abuse of tobacco, spirits and beer? No ! Miss Willard says it's immoral to raise a tax on these things. I say it's unjust to raise the tax in that way and keep the money in WashingtonCity from the people who needs it everywhere and every day to pay the expenses of support ing paupers, prisons and insane asylums. And there is another objection or two, come to think of it, to continuing this in ternal revenue tax. It bears heavily up on the farmers who raise the grain and tobacco, and the latter especially feel as though this tax is kept on them as a pun ishment for their taking sides with the seccessionists. You wouldn't keep it on them for that reason, Grover Cleveland. Tell Carlisle to throw it off, for it's acting as an effigy of oppression hanging on the the family trees of the F. F. V.'s of the Old Dominion, whose mothers of long ago, many of them, were paid for with tobacco. LHsraiss the bonds of internal revenue collectors, and sell the buildings used se bonded warehouses which most people believe make Uncle Sam an assistant t the monopolizing schemes of the heavy dealers in tobacco, spirits and beer. Let the tax whiclvyou say these things pav "without just complaint" be raised where the cost of intemperance and folly have to be met, and a large portion of the mon ey injuriously Bowing into the national treasury wilt remain with the people, here it is most needed. ' Them's my sentiments Mr. President. I can't ex- pert you will agree with me, judging by - the general tenure ot your message as I understood it on a first hasty going over. It reminded me of a free trade speech Gov. Tennoyer made to the Oregon State Grange last spring, and both them ad dresses (yours and our governor's), re minded mo of the way the people of North Britain used to drive geese to Lon don market before railroads were in vented. The goose drivers used a red rag an the end of a long, slim stick. Your moment is the long, slim stick. The inequality of protective laws is the red rag. by which it seems to me you desire to drive the American people towards free trade, which according to my ideas, is like driving fat geese to London market. I don't think they'll go, becauae 1 doat think they are geese. I don't smoke. I preeame yew do; ninety men out of every hundred do. I'd like yoa to wrap this piece el paper around a litte piece of old Virginia's best natural leaf. It is unfair to heap an un necessary direct tax on the American in dustries engaged in the production of to bacco, spirits and beer, while protecting nearly all other lines of industry. It is nnjust to take this tax and leave the peo ple of the states to raise by . direct taxa tion the great sums necessary to pay the costs, to the people, of the misuse and aboee of these things and their delete rious substitutes. SCHOOLS. A number of Presbyterian ministers of Baltimore held a meeting the other day tc&protest against an article which recent ly appeared in the North American Re view, written by Cardinal Gibbons, at tacking the American pablic school sys tem. The article was severely condemned by all present and one of the number was appointed to ptepare an article in defense of the system, such article to be published in the same journal in which the attack appeared.- Cardinal Gibbons' article characterized the public school as an institution so vicious as to endanger the stability of the government itself. ' Cardinal Gibbons takes a pessimistic view of this subject, contrary to the repu tation which he has made for breadth of thought, depth of reasoning and liberality of ideas. He sees in those smaller things which may be easily remedied vital de fects which condemn the whole system and instead of suggesting the necessary remedies which could be adopted and still leave our public schools what they are intended to be a place where all, rich and poor, Protestant and Catholic, can acquire the necessary mental attainments to fit them for true American citizenship his reverence proceeds te denounce the institution as vicious in its tendencies ,and corrupt in its' influence. As the Statxsjcaji understands the ar? gnment used by the cardinal, the ab sence of religious instruction is the chief point urged against the common school. Far from being an objection to the system, the very fact that religious, sectarian, in struction is carefully excluded from our schools seems to be one of the chief fea tures deserving commendation. The in culcation of moral principles can hardly be called religious instruction, especially as in nearly all states the discussion of doctrinal points 'is carefully guarded against. Love of country ; respect for the laws of the land ; a spirit of religious tol erance ; the principles of morality, decen cy and good citizenship all these ' and many things else are very properly in cluded in the matters which are taught in the public schools. Can any objection be raised to this? 8urely not. But should any one church or religious faith succeed in having introduced into the common schools instruction in its peculiar tenets, then will the time have arrived when a v.gorous protest should arise irom the American people. j The school system of this country is the growth of a century. Changes have from time to time been made in it nntil it stands to-day, taken in all its fea tares, second to none in the world. Men ho have achieved distinction in the church.in the political and business world, come to the rescue and say that the pub lic school system as it exists to-day must not be abandoned or radically changed. Improvements are needed; discussions are constantly going on which gradually work reforms where reforms are needed ; but to say with Cardinal Gibbons that the system ts viious and its tendencies bad, is certainly, viewing the assertion in the most charitable manner, to inveigh against an institution which forms one of the chief foundation stones of the Ameri can system of free government. Upon the intelligence of the people rests the permanancy of onr institutions, and that the pablic school system of this country eclipses all previous systems for the edu cation of the masses too firmly, settled to be successfully disputed. HE OOKS WELL TOGO.. The Rev. Mr. Pentecost, of Newark, gives some admirable reasons for retiring from hie pulpit. He says, first, that his congregation ate somewhat restless st his "upholding the anarchists;" second, that his "pity for slaughtered revolutionists h as-deepen ed to something like sympathy ;" third that he iB "no longer iw sympathy with the church as an organization or evan- gaiical Christianity." Humph! When a parish minister does set accept the principles of evangelical Christianity, and speaks of the Chicago RMtrderers as "revolutionists" who were "slaughtered" by the courts, he does well not to stand upon (be order of his going bat io go at once. However, the world is large, and Mr. entecoet, who is an honest man with a cataract on his eye, will find a congenial field to work in. N. T. Herald.

The republican party moves solidly, majestically, resolutely aloes the protec tive fork of the political road. Its war cry is : "Protection to American industry ; redaction of revenue by redaction of di rect taxation and by judicious appropria tions for national defenses. There is no doubt in it, no fear; it moves on the line of continuous and increasing national prosperity. Behind it is the approving and inspiring voice of the people; with in it is a quickened and enlightened conscience: before it is victory. The forks of the road are passed ; tbey are now only inhabited by Adullamites, Anglo-maniacs, and Cobden Club owls, that frizhten stragglers with predictions of panic, themselves lacking courage to ally themselves openly with the democratic, and conscience to join themselves unhesi tatingly to the republican, party. These nondeseriDts will henceforth iabber to themselves; the crowd hss passed by them in two grand bat hostile processions. Hnrf(vth there is onlr the reoablican party in opposition to the presidential revenue policy, and the democratic party in support of it. The national republican committee made bo mistake as to the drift and trend of pablic opinion when it invited to as semble in national convention delegates from all those who "without regard to past political anuianons, dinerence or action believe In the American principle of a protective tariff for the defense and development of home industries and the elevation of home labor ; who would re duce the national taxes and prevent the accumulation of the surplus in the treasury in harmony with this principle ; who are opposed te the attempt, now more openly avowed than ever before, to establish a policy which would strike down American labor to the level of the underpaid and oppressed workers of o reign lands ; who favor a system of naval and coast defenses which will enable the United States to conduct Its international negotiations with self respect ; who gratefully cherish the defenders of the country ; who resent and condemn the continued and unjust exclusion of rapidly growing territories which have an indisputable title to ad mission into the sisterhood ot btates; who are in favor of free schools and pop ular education, a free and honest ballot and a fair count, the protection of every citizen of the United States in his legal rights at home and abroad, a foreign pol icy that shall extend our trade and com merce to every land and clime, and shall properly support the dignity of the nation and the promotion of friendly and har monious relations and intercourse be tween all states." -OOCBLINO AROUND." A member of congress sends by cable to the New York Herald a summary showing the effect of President Cleve land's message in England, and be is elated over the fact that "so emphatic and resonant a declaration of financial principles" should be read with so much favor by the "financial magnates of the world" (England is Uie "world" with En glishmen) ; and the correspondent makes the significant remark that Mr. Cleveland is "doubling around to free trade," The correspondent goes on to say that k is bis idea that the direct effect of the mes sage will be to destroy the English party known as "fair traders," which has gained some importance in that country recently a party which proposes retal iatory tariffs against the precedents of countries that do not favor free trade ia English manufactures. The declaration that Cleveland is docrblmg around to free trade" is good, excellent and the "financial magnates of TX world" (in England) view with- a satisfaction that will almost make them buret their fat sides open with merriment what they regard as the drift of Americas sentiment towards free trade. They think they are surely not mistaken now, that their Cobden Clob gold and litera ture has had its desired effect for has not the president of this republic himself showed by his official declaration that he is "doubling around to free trade?" Them fore the American people, whose president he his, must necessarily be rifting that way, too and these finan cial magnates of the world" (in England) think they see in the shadow of passing events a chance to get a share of. the American trade, which they have long coveted. They think they see a chance te step in and take advantage of the sit uation and do onr business for as, to manufacture oar goods for as, sod to grow rich off of oar ignorance. They see stacks of gold for them in what they con gratulate themselves is this doubling around to free trade of American senti ment. But they are mistaken. They read the signs of the times upside down, and they read between the lines and make tlie Wi the parent of the thought. Why are tbey fooled ? Because the republican party's princi ples of protection to American industry and American labor still live on terrified in the hearts of the American people. Because the people of thiseoantrv rad and think and vote for themselves, and they know a. point when tbey meet it In the road. They are not fools, aad they are not aaleep. isecaose the reoablican nartv has a leader worthy of the issue, a "rJnm knight" who realizes the gravity of the occasion. Readers of the Btituhh know his record. - Ilia name is James G. Blaine. HAII. JlBTD WELCOME. Yesterday, Saturday, December 17th 1887, marked an eventful period in the progress of western Oregon. It was the driving of the last spike, the completion of through connection by rail with San Francisco. This event has long been looked forward to and hoped for by our people, and its final consummation is a matter for general rejoicing among them. The interests the wealthiest corporation in the world are thus made identical with oar own, We are thus joined in a closer anion with the enterprise of oar sister state bound by commercial ties to San Francisco, the giant city of this Pacific coast. The com pany whose interests are made common with oar own by the driving of the last spike is not a Wall street company, not selfish blood-sucker. It is a company that makes basiness for itself and renders its properties valuable by assisting, to develop the country, by encouraging people to come and assisting their' enter prises after they arrive. It benefits itself by helping others. While it is develop ing the resources of the country and making its people prosperous, at the same time it Is building ap business for itself. . We ass are the representatives of this organization and of onr neighboring state apon the part of the people of Oregon and its capital city, of a most cordial wel come. We extend to Messers. Crocker, Huntington, Stanford and their associates congratulations upon the consummation of this important project, and they can see lor themselves that they are in pos session of a property that will bear de velopment, that will yield rich returns upon their investment, in the future, at least. The people of Oregon appreciate their efforts, which, while to a certain degree they are selfish, nevertheless will redound to the permanent benefit of the state. The Siskiyou mountains have from our earliest history stood as a bar rier between the commercial union of two great states. This barrier has now been overcome by patient toil and the ex penditure of princely sums of money and we would be ungrateful to fail to re joice with the projectors of this impor tant enterprise at this time. Once again we say hail and welcome A GBAHD AWAKENING. The message of President Cleveland, followed by the thundering utterances of that prince of American citizenship, James G. Blaine, has aroused the people in a manner seldom seen before. It has drawn the party lines close and firm, and the next presidential campaign will be fought out on the issues raised. The re publican party stands for protection to American industries and American citizenship, at home and abroad. The democratic party stands for low tariff, which means low wages and small profits for our own people, and a division of our trade with the leeches of English capital, with the tentacles of the English devil fish of commerce, that would final ly, little by little, reduce us to a commer cial dependency and put our laboring men en an equal footing with the pau per labor of Europe. These are the issues. They are plain and well defined. The fiat has gone forth. The paid mouth pieces and spies of British trade, that has suffered from the effects of our prosperity, are already at work. Listen close, and you caii bear them. The campaign has already opened, and the hired Hessians who seek to reduce American industry to a British dependency and American labor to the rags and slavery of low wages most be given such a rebuke that they will not mistake its meaning. The Cob den cmb agents must get a black ere. In common with the representatives of the republican party, we believe in America for Americans, and not for foreigners to our soil. We must love and protect our own government in preference to other governments, as we must lave and, protect qui own hemes in preference to other men's homes. Tlat is what the republican party believes in, and when the vote of 1S88 is counted it will be found that the people of this country agree with it on this point. TKAIXIJ.O FOR A KlNti. Prince William of Germany is passing through special courses of training to fit him for bis future profession) as ruler. The young prince has been employed for twelve months in the department of the Interior and is about to enter upon a three months' experience in the finance department. Sibseqneatly be will mas ter the details of the foreign office, occu pying the position of head clerk. His military training has been thorough. Nor is the prince anfitted, unless " by ill health, to earn his living in the hum bler walks of life. It has become the practic for. German princes to learn trades. His father, the crown prince, has passed an apprenticeship at cabinet- making, and in the emperor's room at Bafeelsborg is furniture of his manufac ture. Prince William doubtless has a trade also. The emperor's ideas on education com mend themselves to a more general adoption in all countries. The training that does not fit a boy to be of some use in the world is faulty. . 1851-1887. al Preminm and Clubb IDE Annonneement SPLENDID FREE GIFTS.
