Unjust aiiil lllcsah Apart from any political consid eration, jt is evident that the legic by which the Interior Depart ment pretends to justify the issu ance of patents to the Northern Pacific Railroad company, for lands on account of portions of the road constructed long after the time allowed by Congress, is one of the many peculiar things that have in late years and in a prior Administration distinguished the methods of that department in matters affecting the interests of powerful corporations and especi ally the Northern Pacific Railroad company. The logic is this: "All railroad grants are present grants, and vest in the grantee the lejal title to all the land contemplated by the grant; and the title does not re vert to the United States on breach of condition without a dec laration of foVfeiture by Congress. Although the Northern Pacifiic company failed to complete the road within the time allowed, yet there has been no declaration of forfeiture by Congress on account of this breach of condition, there fore the company still has title to the land, and the Department may lawfully issue patents to the com pany for the land. Ho one but a railroad lawyer, or a partial Secretary of the Inte rior and subservient subordinates, could have perceived any relation between the premises and the last clause of the conclusion. The acts of Congiess authorize patents to issue on accouut of such portions of tbe'road as were cpmpleledfbe fore July 4, 1877; and not for such landsvasilhe" company may possess the legal title; for if this were the case 'and the premises .immediately after the' passage of ' the granting act. But the prem ises arcfalse, the grant was not a presentjtone. The Department knovts that under a similar grant, - theUnibn'Pncific -Raihoad com pany evades the payment of taxes on millions of acres of laud in Kansas and Nebrrka fully earned by the construction of the road years ago, but for which land they p-domot call for a patent until the same is sold to a tax pacing far mer. The company is able to evadc. the payment of taxes on the lands which it holds for higher prices, because the Supreme-Court of the United States has three' times decided that the title did not pass by the granting act; that the title and ownership is in the United States until patents issue; that the condition was a condition prece dent and not subsequent. In every case where it has been "heldMiiecessaryfor a declaration of "forfeiture to cause the title to re- vert .to the United States, it hae been held'that the title had already passed from the United Stntes and vested in the grantee, and that the condition was subsequent and not precedent. 'livery reason-ussigned by the 'court for holding that title did not vest by the graut to tho Union Pacific company, but vests only when jthe patents issue, is equally applicable to tho grant to the Northern, Pacific company; and several other valid reasons exist, - not mentioned by the court. No court has ever decided that a declaration of forfeiture is neces sary to terminate the rights of the grantee in Chse of brjeach of con- ' c jdition precedent. Whatever credit is due for making such a decision belongs to a Secretary of the In terior who. is now understood to be the recopient of a portion of its logical results. It is one of the achievements of the Interior De partme'nr, vvliich department has solved -tho-problem of re-investing tbe'Unitcd'Stales with a ti tie of which it was never tHvested. That department has recently, by its railroad decisions, made many equally meritorious contributions to the science of jurisprudence. The Northern Pacific Railroad company has no cliim to-patents on account of portions of the road completed since July 4, 1877, that is valid by the rules ot law or equity. There are no ac-ts ot Con gress and no judicial precedents that authorize or justify the issu ance of such patents.. The Walk Walla Statesman does not rise to a sense of the re quirements of the section it repre sents, and in repeating the parrot like cry of "robbery" and "per jury," exhibits less a spirit of de sire to know the truth than a will ingness to believe a falsehood. There is no legalized robbery on the Columbia river bar, nor exclu sive privilege of running tugs on the bar. The editor of the States man has the privilege of putting on as many as he chooses. On the other hand, vessels loading on Puget Sound have to pay, and do pay pilotage and tonage in gomg. to sea; probably as much as iu crossing the Columbia river bar. If there is any one part of the farming community that needs the Columbia river bar improved, it is that part around Walla Walla. After a railroad is built from Walla Walla to the Sound the rates to Astoria v. ill always con trol the rates by rail to the Sound. So our friends there should alva s advocate a free riv er and a deeper entiance. A Washington dispatch says it is stated with much positiveness that President Davis, of the Sen ate, favors the admission of Dakota into the Union. He thinks, it is said, the southern portion of Dakota is entitled by reason of population and other considera tions to admission, and that it is not a qnestion for partisan consid eration. Judge Davis.' vote, com bined with that of the Republicans, would give tho bill a majority, and as Republicans control the House, ;tMKn1J ppo f tt.litt-.rocasure has a good pvospect of becoming law the present session. Eight hundred tons" of- silver coin have accumulated in the fed eral treasury in 'ev York. This coin lids not yet been forced into circulation, and will not come into general use if the people can hae certificates representing the coin instead of the bullion itself. nois.v In Upper Astoria, .Januan, 30, lSi-', to the witi' of U.

The bcx of 18SS was a nowspaper of r. new kind. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of the superfluous words and phrases of ancient journalism. It under took to report in a fresh, succinct, uncon ventional way all tho news of the world, omitting no event of human interest, and commenting upon affairs uithtlm fearless ness of absolute Independence. The suc cess of this experiment was the success of The Sun. It effected a permanent change in the stvlo of American newspaper. hverv important Journal established In this country iu the dozen jears past has been modelled after Tin: bux. Ever Import int Journal air. ady existing has been modified and bettered by tho force of TnK bra's example. The bux of 1SS2 will be the same outspok en, truthtrlling, and interesting newspaper. By a liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords, wc shall make it better than ev er before. AVe shall print all the news, putting It into readable shape, and measuring Its Import ance, not bv the traditional yardstick but by Its real Interest to the people.
