It is bad policy, at least so it seems to us, for the press of Ore jrontobc constantly' endeavoring to make little or less, in a moral .sense to lower in character and ability of our delegation in congress. Referring to the manner in which Hon. John Whiteaker was called to take his seat in the forty-sixth congress of the United States, ;is the representative of the people of this common wealth, we may say at present the sole representative of the people of the Pacific states, as California is not represented at all and Nevada by one person, of politics opposite to that of the dominant party, certain of the press of the state have been guilty of gross perversion of facts. And whether from the too common error of judging a man from his politics, or because of personal hatred, which is too deep seated for the .good of Oregon, such com ments are productive of great injury to the state. There are at present in the United States JS, 035,000 inhabitants, divided as fol lows : Eastern and Middle states I4.303.noo Western and Pacific stales 16.-270.iXMt Former slave states lU.SM.OOO Total states.. Territories 47.,t7:!.(MM) GCt)00 Total population 4S,Ou.,oi)0 The Pacific states have a repre sentative of six in the senate, and .six in the house,r California four, juid Nevada on e,0 regon one. Eight "persons represent the GG2,000 people as delegates from the terri tories; six only, and .at this time but two, Mr. Whiteaker, and Mr. Wren, of Nevada, are there to represent Oregon, Neva da, and California. What does the press expect to gain, therefore, by 'belittling Mr. Whiteaker? In the last congress measures of vital ini- portance failed because of the course pursued by the press in op position to the delegation of men sent to represent us at Washing ton. It is time for a change in this respect; Oregon has too much to ask at the hands of congress; .and, besides this, statements are published which are at variance with the truth, when the delega tion from Oregon is attacked. We pretend to assert, without the slightest fear of contradiction, that no fairer minded man than Hon. John Whiteaker walks the streets of Washington to-day, and so far its Senators Grover and Slater are concerned, the people are too fa miliar with their record in congress not to understand the purposes which actuate their traducers. We submit, in all candor, to the press of Oregen: Whether it would not be far better for us to act like honest men in these matters, know :ng the needs of Oregon, and the O T3 reat difficulties in the way of ob taining necessary appropriations to assist us in developing this "wonderful region oT country. We should stand by the delegation as a unit. Baron Albert Grant, --who failed in London for nearly $3, 000,000, has a family oT ten ch-rah-ters and two sons. "His wife is an unpretentious woman, the daugh- tor of a London merchant. He has the anibkipn of the late James lisk, jr., but he never indulges ill . , 4 , . 1. , , , clicatneal sj)eculations for the sake cf placing some women on the stage a common form o amuse ,nm.f 0 r i t i Jnent among successful London saicn. TVhat is the Meaning! The Chinese have commenced buying American iron for ship ment to China. One hundred tons were purchased and shipped from New York a few days ago, saidiComcr of cr an(1 0Iney stree,s' lo be the first ever made by that people oil American iron. Here tofore, they have made their purchases from the British, because of the cheaper rate. Whether this transaction is the beginning of a more extensive business in that line, or a sporadic act dependent upon peculiar cir cumstances, is not yet evident. Can it be says the Alta, that the shrewd Chinese have made this commencement of a possible future trade in that line for the purpose of strengthening the feeling at the east in favor of their people's immigration? It is not impossible, and the influence of that purchase and shipment, should it be accepted as the be ginning of a new branch of trade with China, is sufficient to make every eastern dealer in iron ten times more an advocate of unlim ited Clrlnese immigration than he ever was before. Judging some of the jxjople there by their words and acts, they would nwt hesitate to balance the Mongolizing of California against the sale of a hundred tons of pig iron.
