The New York Sun is wildly jubi lant over the defeat of Morrison's bilL It says: "There will be ample time and opportunity to reform the tariff a year hence, when we know more about its -practical bearing on the great interests of the country. In the mean time let ns proceed to busi ness." TheJEferaZd says: "The democrats must bear the full results of this de feat There is nothing in it that can be made into victory." The World joyously exclames: "Now for work. The defeat of the Morrison bill in the house ought to cause a better feeling on the part of Morrison and. his friends. The large democratic vote that was against the result is no evidence that the demo crat&xparty. is not in accord in its de sirefor revenue reform and tax re duction. 'There is only a difference in its views regarding the time to en ter upon this work. When the re publican party has been driven from power it will bo time for carrying these reforms into effect." The Ttwies says: "The only impor tant business which the democrats in the house haTe been engaged in for the past five months came to naught yesterday through the defection of forty-one men of their own party. Whatever else it may show, the kill ing of the Morrison tariff bill proves beyond question the incapacity of the party for serious legislation. It3 de feat leaves the party with no princi ples whatever." Tribune: 4,So far as the democrat ic party is concerned it has done what it could to strike a death blow at the homo industries of the country. Eleven million person- cugdjred in, or dependent on, manufacturing in dustries in this .country, have had their interests injuriously affected for many months by this vain and fruit less discussion. It is fortunate an election is approaching which will enable the voters to pass upon the use of a party given over to such hopeless imbecility. Whan we look for its leaders and voters on the tar iff, and all similar issue.", we find them in the solid south.,' The Star says: "It is a valuable triumph for the republican party, se cured through the active co-operation of Randall and his squad or monopo listic adherents, miscalled democrats The. Oregon Short Line. The latest news from the Oregon Short line is that work has been re sumed and that there are now 2fi00 men employed in its construction. The Oregon Improvement Company has five miles of Toad -west ef: tbo Grand Bonde valley and four miles on the eastern side to complete by the 1st of September, and it is positively fitated that the road will bo finished by that date. West of Huntington there remain about twelve miles to be built, and this will also be finished, although it is rather a rough bection of country in which to construct a railroad, and the cost of this portion of the line will be about 8700,000. Between Huntington, L T., and Meacham, Ore., 110 miles) the line is all gradedj and about 300 bridge builders will soon be put on to push the 3rork to an early completion. Most of the track is ready for the iron and the road will probably be completed for travel about the 15th of June. ' Meacham is the present terminus of the O. E. & N. Com pany's branch, which will afford con nection with the Oregon Short line for coast points. The new road leaves the Union Pa cific at Granger, in southeastern Wyoming,: about 155 miles east of Ogden, and runs a little north of west of Wyoming, across the Territory of Idaho, being at present completed nearly to Huntington, in eastern Ore gon. On leaving Granger the road runs in a westerly direction, follow ing Ham's fork for about forty miles. It then enters Twin creek valley and afterwards the Great Bear river val ley, ninetv miles in extent. After passing through Bear river valley it follows the Pontlfeuf for forty miles and twenty-six miles west of Pocatiilo it makes its first crossing of the Snake river and enters the Idaho lava beds. The total length of the projected line, including hidings and short branches, is about 625 miles. Northern Pacific Notes. X New Tort special says: Presi dent Harris and several directors urge the building of the Cascade branoh from Ainsworth toTacoma, Seattle or some other point on Paget sound within five years, declaring the North ern Pacific must have a complete road of its own, and that Portland is not a seaport, and the Columbia bar is not a very formidable obstacle to com merce. The other directors oppose, on account of the enormous expense of the branch, and believing the Co lumbia bar can be removod. Villard has looked very carefully into the subject and states that the chief ob jection to any point on Paget sound as a terminus was the prevalence of verybeavy fog3 .six months of the twelve, which seriously interfered with navigation. Under existing oir cumstances it is doubtful if the Cas cade branch will be built for a great while. The probability is that the Northern Pacific will lease the Ore gon Navigation, and thus secure its part of the road as their own. The treasurership of the Oregon Improvemento ompany will be given, no doubt, to Prosper Smith, brother of "ElijgkSmith, president. The-:stbrj, that Villard would go back to journalism is ridiculously ab sard. The work on the Oregon end California road, which the Oregon andsSCrsnscontfnental was to com pletfjhas been stopped twenty-eight Rufelfom-the California state line. Th4Siion Pacific has also stopped ninety miles on the other side. There is no prospect of resumption. "Alew years ago Kalamazoo, Mioh., was not even staked out, and only last ydtkMc'iizeix of that place failed in bjHMHiCKad scooped eastern credi UmOtfot'tiOfiOO, ,Such is prog xew'mFvmitotion! Boston Post. X New Town in Dakota. The Western idea of real estate en terprise is, to buy the Government land for 31.25 an acre, and sell it in corner lots at 2,500 each. A car load of lumber is dumped on the prairie, and in less than a -week the future Chicago of the great North west i3 in active life. I had the pleasure of seeing one of these ambitious towns just as it cracked its shell and looked around for customers. A canvas tent was the first attraction ; then came that inevitable accompaniment of western civilization, a barrel of whisky; then a saloon a rough-board cabin with a canvas door, and 2 siju over it which indicated that the proprietor had beon ported in object lessons. It read "lodgings," and thenapiecoof pine plank was nailed up to finish the sentence "board T "Lodging3 and board." I had the first choice of corner lots, but as the real estate office hadn't arrived, I lost this one golden opportunity for what I was assured would have been the best in vestment of my life. 0 The new town fully- illustrated Mark Twain's reflections upon civili zation. "How solemn and beautiful the thought," saj s the great Ameri-l can iiuraorist, mat tne earnest pio neer of civilization is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never l,n ftnhliifli cMinrtl natrAr fl,n trtic. ' sionary but always whisky." Such is the case. .Look history over; you 1 will see; the missionary comes after the whisky. I mean that ho arrives nf ter the whisky has arrived. Next comes the poor immigrant, with axe and hoe and rifle ; next the trader; next the miscellaneous rush; next the gambler, the desperado, the high wayman, and all their kindred in sin of both sexes; and next the smart chap who has bought an old grant that covers all the land; this brings the lawyer; the vigilance committee brings the undertaker; all these in terests bring the newspaper ; the newspaper starts up politics and a railroad; all hands turn to and build a church ami a jail, and behold ! civilization is established in the land. But whisky, you will see, was the van leader in this beneficent work. It al ways is. It was like a foreigner and excusable in a foreigner to bo ignorant of thi3 great truth, and wander oft" into astronomy to borrow j a symbol. But if he had been con I versant with the fnots, he would have ! said: "Westward the Jug of Empire takes its way!" E. F. Bill The present jury system is all wrong, j The prevalent idea is that if a man . reads an account o a crime in n nowa-' paper, he thereby becomes incompe tent to sit as a juror. He somehow ' persuades himself that he has a, prejudice xrhou in roality he has 1 none.
