LAIHJGRANTS.
We are glad to learn that there
13 a bill before Congress relating
to unearned railroad grants.-which
is one of the greatest evils the
country has suffered from for many
years, and if some- decisive action
is taken in the matter, says The
Dalles Times, it will be welcomed
by the whole of Eastern Oregon.
The bill was introduced by Robe
son in the House of Representa
tives, and provides that "grants of
land to certain railroad companies
and States to aid in construction
of roads and railroads for the bene
fit of certain corporations, so far
as the same have not been ear;icd
by fulfillment of conditions of the
grant, bo forfeited and revert to
the United States and be opened
to settlement, and that entries
therefor be received at the land
offices in the districts in which the
lands are located."
For many years sine of the
choicest lands in- Oregon and
Washington have been withdrawn
from the public domain for the
benefit of the Northern Pacific
railroad. These were granted to
that corporation conditioned that
it would build and equip a road in
a certain time, but the grant was
so worded that it required an act
of Cosgress before the lands so
withheld should revert to the Gov
ernment and be again open for
settlement We .all know that
this company has failed to comply
with the conditions, and if the land
had been granted to a private in
dividual, the provisions would have
been construed conditions prece
dent and the land would have long
since reverted But a powerful
corporation, with sufficient capital
to employ an attorney at Wash
ington city to watch its interests,
can shape these things to suit
itself. .
If one were to travel through
Eastern Oregon and Washington,
he would find some of the choicest
portions for agricultural purposes,
claimed by this corporation, which
has done literally nothing to entitle
them to the possession. In many
instances, settlers have made im
provements, hoping that the time
would soon come when they could
either get a title to their homes
from the General Government or
from the Northern Pacific. But
years have passed and the same
uncertainty still remains.
By takings map and counting
the alternate sections on tho line
of the N. P. R. R. through Eastern
Oregon (which- will never bo built)
and Washington, one can easily
ascertain the countless thousands
of acres that have thus been with
drawn from settlement, and for
which the Government or people
have absolutaly received no ben
efit. This projected line of road
has done nothing to develop the
country, and tho only result thus
far, has been vexatious litigation
between individual claimants. If
the Government looks to tho "ben
efit of the people, it will not hesi
tate a moment in declaring by act
of Congress this immense tract of
land a part of the public domain
and open for settlement.
Our Representative, Mr. George,
has introduced a bill soraowhat
similar to this of Mr. Robeson's,
but extends tho time for tho re
version to January 1, 1885, which
we think unnecessary, as sufficient
time has already been granted and
it will only keep tho lands out of
market that much longer.
We see that this bill of Mr.
Robeson's touches another evil, in
which this people are greatly inter
ested, and this is, "Public lands
granted to States to aid in tho
construction of roads.'1 This seems
as though the vast tract which is
claimed by the Willamette Valley
and Cascade Mountain Wagon
Road Co., if the conditions have
not been complied with, (which
could easily be proved), and if the
bill becomer a law, may be placed
where it rightfully belongs. Per
haps an investigation might prove
that the body of land given to the
State to aid in the construction of
The Dalles Military road, was still
a part of the public domain, even
if the patent has issued, if fraud
could bo proved in the manner the
provisions of the "slot were carried
out.
The fact is, these soulless cor
porations have had too many choice-
morsels given them, and the peo
ple have got completely tired of it.
The broad, rich acres of the United
States should be for the benefit of
bona fide settlers, and not for the
aggrandizement of a few. The
aggregation of capital is advisable
in any new country, but when
corporations become so powerful
that we can only represent them
by anacondas which entwine them
selves and absorb everything with
which they come in contact, it is
time that some limit was placed
upon them.
UnprecedentedXrnmIgrationofl881.
The unprecedently heavy
stream of immigration that has
been pouring into the country this
year over 430,000 arrivals in
eleven months seems to alarm
timid citizens with serious appre
hensions as to whether this mass
of humanity, consisting of people
wholly unacquainted with Amcri-.
can life, can be safely absorbed by
our bod' politic. It is true, the
number of new-comers seems very
large, almost sufficient to form"
three new States out of territory
so far uninhabited, were the immi
grants all to settle down together.
But the effect produced by the
sudden accession of a foreijni ele
ment to our pcopio. depends in a
great measure upon the proportion
it bears to the general population,
and its distribution among tho dif
ferent parts of the country. From
this point of view it appears that
the heavy immigration of this year
will not put our institutions under
as severe a strain as they have
been put before. We have now a
population of over fifty millions,
and the number of immigrants for
tho whole year will be about 440,
000. In 1S54 the population of
the United States was about 25,
000,000, and the number of immi
grants in that year was 319,223, a
number more than two-thirds as
large as that of the present jear,
while theaggregato population of
tho country was only one-half of
what it now is. We might reason
ably conclude that tho strain upon
our institutions from so enormous
an influx "of foreign elements
should have been much greater
than the one now to bo apprehend
ed, and yet "wo cannot remember
that the years following 1854 were
remarkable for any peculiar devel
opments that might have been
traced to the difficulty of absorb
ing so large a new ingredient in
our body politic. In fact, there
have been several years in which
tho proportion of immigrants to
our whole population has been
heavier than in this.
It is also reported that the im
migrants who arrived this year
generally were of an uncommonly
good class, people of working
habits and generally of some
means. More than one-third of
them were Germans, mostly be
longing to the agricultural classes,
who proverbially make good citi
zens and are easily assimilated.
Immigrants from Great Britain,
mostly Irishmen, come next, form
ing sometimes less than one-third
of the aggregate, a valuable addi
tion to our working forces. Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark fur
nish the next largest contingent,
about one-eighth of the whole, and
the rest is divided among; other!
nationalities.
On the whole, we need indulge
in no dark apprehensions as to the
influence of immigration upon our
political and social life unless
largo masses of the less desirable
elements of it should congregate j
in certain large cities. In this re
spect, the statement, that 143,1 32
of the new-comers have icmaiucd
in New York, would seem to idi
cate that such a concentration has
taken place. But Mr. Jackson,
the superintendent of Uastlo Gar'
den, assures us that this statement
is apt to create a wrong impres
sion, "owing to tho fact that many I
immigrants who had not fixed upon
any destination were credited to
New York, but remained only
long onough to decide upon a per
manent home; that some immi
grants refused to give their desti
nation and were .put down to New
York's account, as that was their
address when last heard from," and
that "not more than 35,000 or 40,
000 will find permanent homes in
this State besides the 15,000 or 20,
000 who will settle down in this
city." New York would there
fore only have her proportionate
share and no more. The bulk of
the immigration is going to the
West, where it will soon become
identified with new and growing
communities, whose interests the
new comers will soon understand
and whose progress and prosperity
they will share. It is a fact worthy
of note that tho northwestern
States, which receive among their
people the largest proportionate
number of foreign immigrants,
take rank among the orderliest of
American communities. Judging
from the experiences of the past,
it may thoreforo be confidently
said that, leaving aside two or
three large cities, Ihe difficulty of
absorbingund assimilating our for
eign immigration is not one of the
future dangers that should disturb
our equanimity.
