The Northern Paciilc.
We beiieve that the twenty-five
hundred tons of railroad, iron pur
chased by the Northern Pacific
railroad company for the construc
tion of a section of road eastward
from the head of navigation on the
Columbia river will be laid from
the mouth of the Klickitat river,
twelve miles below Dalles city, on
the territory side of the river, vir
tually making that the head of
navigation until The Dalles Celilo
t:anal can be built. It would be
the best place to begin the eastern
extension for many reasons a
line from that point would traverse
an extensive and fertile country to
the crossing at Priests ranids, above
u. r c?i. -: ;
U1U I11UULJ1 Ul OlliUvU J1VU1, itllU.
TOiild be the Test route, dicidedly,
for he uniform raure. It would
in no way interfere with the sTs
tem of narrow gauge feeders to
the Columbia, ancl would greatly
lessen the distance and time by
the water route, from Astoria
through the canal at the Cascades,
to the western terminus of the
Northern Pacific railway for the
next twenty years. It is folly to
vhink of commencing the construe
tion of any other than narrow
;gauge railways at Portland.
The Englishman was Kight.
"Clean them out and talk after
wards," wasthc correct sentiment,
respecting Alaska affairs. At the
last moment, on the 10th inst.,
Cpat. Selden, in command of the
United States revenue cutter TYol
cott writes as follows from Sitka:
The last minute before the steamer
leaves, Capt. Thorn has promised to
wait and carry this letter. To-morow
morning the Wolcott leaves here to
go up Peril Straits to visit the tribes
in that neighborhood. A detachment
of men go with us in case they are
needed. Our force will be strong,
and I ha e no fears that there will be
occasion to resort to arras. I com
mand the expedition. In the absence
of any higher authority, lam appealed
io for everything, and I assure you
my duties are arduous. The English
man is impatent, and at every provo
cation wants to fight. If he was left
to his own inclination, we would have
iuul a fight long since. I don't know
"but that Ins notions are best after all
"cleitn them out and then talk after
wards." T export to he gone from
"here five or six clays. I will visit the
chief tribes in the neighborhood, and
do all I can to conciliate good feeling.
The Osprey will remain here until
our return, and I hope by that time
some vessel will liave arrived to re
lieve us. 1 have a good pilot and in
terpreter "to accompany me, and the
cruise I feel will he propitious.
The contrast between English
and American policy is instruct
ive as to the results obtained by
the two governments in dealing
"with Indians. The Englishman
. has little or no trouble, and his idea
is, when Indians are behaving ill,
to "clean them oik and talk after
wards." The way to bring the
Indians of Alaska, or any other
bad Indians to time, is to give
them the alternative between des
truction and obedience. A de
cided show of force, tempered with
a prompt use of it, would do those
Indians more good than talk or
threats or promises. They "must
be made to ehave, or -mafie to
suffer for it if they do not.
Coining Round to Reason.
One by one, the journals which
applauded the President for his
veto of the Chinese restriction bill,
are losing trsith in their opinions
and corning round to reason. It is
with surprise and pleasure that we
refer to the New York Star as an
instance. Here is its latest utter
..anccon the subject:
'Since the adjournment of the forty
fifth congress, a good deal of unex
pected light has been thrown upon
this "whole subject, tending to show
Jbow rash and jjxtravagent were many
-of the protests transmiftoS. to Wash-
ington during the late excitement by
sentimental theorists. California's
hostility to a large Mongolian influx
is not based on any narrow race preju
dice at least among the moderate
and intelligent masses but upon the
palpably illegal ?md demoralising
character of the migration. The vast
bulk of the Chinese who come here
are coolies, imported like cattle by or
ganized companies, and having their
labor mortgaged to these companies
for a stipulated term of years. It is
because the overwhelming majority of
them are thus manipulated as serfs
and chattels that the Chinese work
such social and industrial disorganiza
tion wherever they are found in large
numbers.
It is well understood that con
tracts can be made in Chinese
ports for Chinese laborers to pro
ceed to California, or almost any
where else, for 3 per month. But
our laws do not permit Americans
to make such contracts, yet the
Chinese companies flood us with
servile labor procured in this war,
and their earnings nearly all go to
onrich another country Clv.na.
The New York Sentinel be-
lieves that the Pperty of church
es should be subjected to the same
taxation as the property of indi
viduals and other private corpora
tions, and is pleased to see some
preachers advocate that view.
AVe think so too, but at the same
time think that people generally
will have hardly more than reached
that perfect view of equal rights
before they also will have found
out better ways of raising revenue
than by taxation ways in which
the revenue will be collected in
the way of fees for various ser
vices and profits upon public
business, so that the collection
will cost nothing, whereas now it
costs a large part of the tax levied.
Albert Pike, the soldier pock,
"better "known to the last gener
ation than he is now-a-days, is
organizing the "Society of the
Cactus," to be composed of Mexi
can war veterans, who will be
queath the order to their male de
scendants. IIEI.
