Editorial Correspondence.
New Tacoma, March 7. We
arrived here this evening on board
the steamer North Pacific, home
ward bound, as the gales and
storms which have continued with
out any cessation render the trip
io disagreeable that we shall post
pone it until more favorable
weather. Tacoma is divided into
two towns, old and new. New
Tacoma. about one mile anft a half
further up the sound than Tacoma,
'is the present terminus of the Pa
cific division of the Northern Pacific
railroad. There is a branch from
here to the coal mines, which the
company is at work upon develop -inn
;i fine vein of excellent coal.
Joth railroads are built upon the
uniform gauge, and "if" there
ever should be a connection with
the Atlantic side of course New
Tacoma will come in for the bulk
of the trade on Puget-sound, as
Seattle only has her narrow-gauge.
-A visit to Chicago, St. Louis, or
other great centers of trade ill us
tratcs the advantage of the uniform
iu""o over that of the narrow
trauge for vast business. In such
places one may read the names of
scores of different railways on cars
belonging to various companies all
throughout the United States.
This we may hope to see at New
Tacoma, Portland, and perhaps
Astoria. What a blessed thing
Hope is. If we of Astoria were
not comforted through our lives
with this hope, if we were compell
ed to go on toiling in our present
condition without the thought that
'when the time comes1' we may
have some sort of connection with
the outside world in addition to that
now possessed in the water routes,
we should certainly be miserable,
but it is a self-evident fact that the
deesiirns of the God of nature are
about to be accomplished, and As
toria will soon have -iicr day. We
tee more and more to convince us
of the approuching dawn of the
now era, and it warms the heart to
dream of this prospective thrift.
Kalama, March 8th. 'Bidding
Tacoma adieu at 7 a. m., in a blind
ing snow-storm, a continuation of
xiie storm of the previous day, our
party ""Mr. Wheeler and myself,'
received accessions and out we
Mailed for this place arriving at
22cSo, connecting with the steamer
Dixie Thompson for Portland.
"'The long way around being the
most direct way home." Col. Ell
wood Evans left us Ut Tenino for
"lympia, and Gov. Ferry joined us j
at that point on his way to Yaki- I
ma, in company with Gen. How
ard from Vancouver, 'l'hey go
once more at the request of the
people in that region to endeavor
10 settle the difficulty with Moses.
The people have been supplied
with all the arms and ammunition
that it has been possible to
.secure, and a five company
post has been established in the
Kittitas valley, at which two com
panies are now stationed and -et
the settlers do not feel safe. This
visit is intended to Strengthen the
hope of security from another out
break. lf we may be permitted
to judge from the weather along
the route of our travel to-dav,'Gov.
Ferry has a cold and tedious trip
to perform. Snow covered the
ground from Tacoma :to the -north
bank of the Cowlitz river to-day,
zo the depth of from 1 to
inches, but as strange as it imay
seem not a Hake was to be seen on
the southern bank, the river beiii"
die dividing line as it were between
jvirfter and spring.

aere which Europe oners to uic j
eye of the American traveler is its
Babel of languages. France alone
has eighty-six well defined dialects.
Switzerland has twen ty-eight. The
list in Germany has 'never been
made out, but must amount to at
least 100. As modern enforced
popular education takes effect, all
these will gradually disappear, and
ie replaced by a few French, f
.
German, Dutch., Basque, ftreton
nais(Armorican),Polish, Bohemian,
Moravian, T)anish, etc. Walloon
and Flemish are both dying out
(very slowly) in Belgium. In all
the open countries a common lan
guage will take possession of the
whole jrround during: the course of
the next three or four generations;
but in the mountain districts the
old dialects may survive for many
centuries. It is to this diversity
i ' -
oi language we must asrrme me
stubborn vitality of priestcraft and i
the military system. Nations who
cannot comprehend each other hale
and fear each other, and keep their
harness ready for war. We must
put our trust in the railroad, the
post-office and the primary school.
Sooner or later these irresistible
powers will emancipate Europe
from standi no; armies and the missal.
Unwarrn.ixteil Burlesnuc.
Jlttebwiy J ndejictulcMt .
Last vceks issue of the Coos
hay News contains an article at
tempting to burlesque the efforts
of Messrs. Webster ami Sehctter to
secure aid in behalf of the proposed
narrow gauge railroad from this
citv to Uoos bav. inlc Ave teel
assured that the gentlemen named I
are able and can defend them
selves against anything the Xews
may trT to say to their detriment,
and answer fully all its weak at
tempts to their personal injury
without outside interference, we
cannot put in our disclaimer to
airy Such articles, calculated as
they are to injure the project and
decretise its chances for ultimate
success, and retard the growth and
prosperity of the country through
which it is proposed the road shall
pass.
To outsiders the News' arti
cle must carry the idea that there
is nothing to justify the building
of the railroad; that the port of
Coos bay is useful now and will be
in the future, only ai a very insig
nificant shipping port for a
very insignificant country; that if
outside capitalists invest in the
enterprise they will receive in re
turn for -their money airy nothing
ness. This is ail wrong. The
News cannot say truthfully that
there is no reason for he building
of the road. It cannot show thati
the enterprise will ndt be self-sus-
taining and valuable property in
tie end to those wiio mav invest
in it. Ami it has everything1 in
the way of proof favorable to the
port of Coos bay as a shipping
point.
Jf the News will admit this
much, it must 'also admit that it
has been ungrateful in order to
rratify personal spite and create
public latighter against those for
whom it litis love. For such work,
local newspapers nor their publish
ers are -supported. AVere it so
nienivould not regard ingratitude
us'thevorst of sins, and have not
contempt for the reptile, which,
warmed-into life, strikes the hand
that rescues it from death.
Astoria is overrun with a hard
class of customers; and citizens should
never go to hed at night without see
ing that their doors and windows are
well fastened, and should leave a six
shooter handy, well loaded, take de
liberat aim, and rid the city of the
pests just as soon as possible. No de
cent man is 'in danger of being shot
under such circumstances, and no jury
In this county would convidt'on any
charge of shooting under such cirenm
stances". Be prepared for thevagrante.
