Villa nn stocks are reported on
the rise in "Wall street, and the
flurry appears to be over.
Pjiesidext Arthur has accept
ed that portion of the N. P. R. K.,
between Portland and a point op
posite Kalama.
Schylvr Colfax is of the opin
ion that the Democrats this fall
will carry the state of Xew York
by 25,000 majority.
All nations use the grindstone,
and it is perhaps the one piece of
mechanism that has the same form
and is the samoin principle every
where. It is stated' that an understand
ing exists between Tilden and
Hendricks, by which an effort is
to be made to 'put up the old
ticket next year.
Twkntv divorces were granted
in one day recntly in Chicago by
Judges Gardner and Moran. The
former made the best score, a de
cree every nine minutes.
Tnii New York Graphic says:
It is currently -rumored on "Wall
street that lLmry illard has
secured a very largo, if not a
controlling, interest in the Thms.
Ehwarps PiERRKroxr thinks
that the next presidential election
depends entirely on New York.
and that if President Arthur can
carry N-w York lie will be ronom-
iiirfted.
Tin: once famous tribe of Cher
okee Indians is now reduced to
1,000 persons, and they suffer a
steatly decrease which wiil extin
guish them by the middle of the
next century.
A kaxi) of half-breed Chippewa
Indians residing in thtf Turtle
mountains have informed the Sur
ve3'or general of Dakota that they
will not permit a Government
survey of their reservation to be
made. r "
Tjie New. Orleans Christ inn
Advocate believes that if the ne
groes of the south have made
any progress since their eman
cipation, "it is no doubt due al
most entirely to the discipline of
slavery."
A xjewspaekr.. correspondent
who has been sampling the cities
of the far west, says: "Helena,
the capital of Montana, i.s aewnted
orally and morally on the fust syl
lable. It is probably the richest
and; wickedeSL city, of its sizein
the country' , - .
ix.an interview with Treasurer
Belknap of the Northern Pacific
Railroad in New York the ques
tion was asked: Will $25,000,
000 additional be. needed to place
the road on its feet?" Mr. Bel
knap said: "I pon completion of
the work it has been found that
the costsJiaveKjfcoccded the . esti
mates, audit is now apparent that
frorncag'hVtb "ten million dollars
will be required in addition to the
general mortgage to repay ad
vanocs and furnish all rolling
stock which it is estimated will he
needed in the course of the next
two yoars..-A:great. deal of? talk
has,lee:i said in .regard to a float
ing debt", ns ; it" is called. This
term, as originally used and under
stood, does not apply, as advances
have been made by the Oregon
and Transcontinental company,
and theyare,Jh'. ho sensej press
ing. 1 he Orogon and Transconti

racih.es banKcr:4' Itwa organized

Stl'ioire Pacific rail
road pool the Chicago Tribune
says: The new combination not
only adds : foj ittfe injury iofthe
whole country and the injustice of
the peoplCjut it destroys all hope
for relie'f-fromfthe construction of
new -roads, and the only remedy
is to apply to congress for inter
vention. The people must take
the matter in hand. They have
provided funds "tiircctly nud indi
rectly for the construction of the
Pacific roads, and they aro entitled
by law to the interference of con
gress for the protection of public
interest. Tt was to that end the
right to amend and repeal the
charters was reserved. Tt is time
for the people to say to" their rep
resentatives in congress that thc'
must act under the law or srive
way to others who will do so. It
is reflecting upon the American
government that the people should
be plundered by corporations
which have, acquired valuable
properties by public subscription
and in defiance of the law which
authorizes and requires the
national legislature to protect them
from extortion.
There is a speck of war s vys
the Chronv'lc between the (Vn
.tral and Northern Pacific' roads,
which threatens to rupture the
recently aranged pool. The North
ern pacific Express Companr and
Wells, Fargo & Co. arc at logger
heads. The Northern Pacific
which is controlled by people
interested in the railroad of that
name, wishes to keep to itself the
express business of the northern
country. "Wells, Fargo & Co., the
controlling .interest of which is
held by the managers of the Cen
tral Pacific, arc reluctant to aban
don the territory of the Northi rn
Pacific. It is an open secret that
unless Wells, Fargo & Co.. wil
consent to abandon thrir Northern
b.isine'ss the Northern Pacific Ex
press Company intends to operate
in California, Nevada and Arizona.
The Central Pacific, it is under
stood, will refuse to carry any
other than "Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express matter. This would be
followed by a refusal of. the
Northern Pacific to carry "Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s matter over their
line. It is to be hoped that the
present difference will ripen into a
quarrel lively enough to bring
about a competition which may
result in bursting up. the recent
thieving pool arrangements of the
raciuc railroads.
