SENATE.-
WiSHiKaTON.-Dec. 10.
Sherman presided over the senate
to-day. The chair laid before the sen
ate an invitation to that body from
the commissioners of the New Or
leans expos tion to participate in the
opening of the exposition on the lfith
insL The communication, was laid
on tho table, that being the usual for
mal disposition of snch documents in
the senate when no immediate disjo
oition i" demanded by any senator.
Vest, on behalf of the committee
on commerce, requested that the com
mit tee be difich trged from the consid
eration of the oceanic ship railway
bill. Test stated that he had received
a letter from Captain Eads savin r that
certain changes had been made in the
concession from Mexico which made
it necessary to withdraw the bill.
The committee was accordingly dis
charged from the consideration of the
bill, which was then ordered to be
withdrawn from the files of the sen
ate. The senate then took up tho Ore
gon Central land forfeiturovbill.
At 2 o'clock the bill was laid aside
until to-morrow and tho Dakota bill
was taken up.
Vest addressed the senate in oppo
:tion to the admission of Dakota.'
He contended the population was not
enough to entitle it to a representa
tive in congress, and that it would to
a certain extent disfranchise the
states already in the Union to give
the present population of Dakota two
representatives in the United States
senate as well as a representative in
the lower house of congress. De
mands that are said to have been
made since 1870 for the admission of
the territory had been tho demands!
of ambitious policians alone.
After executive session, the .senate
adjourned.
The senate confirmed Bnrton Bar
ker of Michigan, Indian agent at Fort
Peck, Montana.
The nomination of McCulloch to be
secretary of the treasury was taken
up in executive session and Senator
Riddleberger continued his speech at
some length, opposing the confirma
tion, lie again called for the raiding
of some of Secretary McCullock's
annual reports, whereupon the senate
adjourned, first postponing further
consideration of Secretary McCul
Ioch's nomination uutil next Tuesday.
HOUSE
Washington, Dec. 10. The joint
resolution for continuing the work of
the census bureau papsed, and the
house went into committee of the
whole on the mlilitary academy
appropriation bill. Keifer offer
ed an amendment providing
hereafter that all appointments
to the grade of second lieutenant
in the army shall be confined to
graduates of the military academy
and to meritorious non commission
ed officers recommended for promo
tion in the manner now provided by
law. At the suggestion of Ros'ecrans
tho amendment was modified by in
cluding enlisted men within its
piovisions nnd by making the law
inapplicable in the time of foreign
war. The amendment then passed.
Tho committee then rose aud report
ed the bill to the house. Tho yens
aud nays having been demanded on
Keifer's amendment, agreed to in
committee, it was defeated, yeas S3,
nays 150. The bill then passed.
On motion of Morrison the com
mittee of the whole weio discharged
from further consideration of the
president's annual message. Morri
son then offered a resolution which
was adopted without debate or oppo
sition, distributing the message ap
propriately among the standiug and
select committees of tho house. So
much of the message as relates to
revenue provisions, treaties with
Hawaii, Spain and Mexico, aro refer
red to the committee on ways and
means.
Mormon also offared a resolution
providing for a holiday recess from
the 23rd of December until the 5th
of January, which was referred to a
special committea
Tha house then resumed consider
ation of the inter-Btate commerce bill.
In reply to a question by Townsend,
Reagan expressed tho hope that a
vote on the bill would bo reached to
morrow. Townsend said that in case he
would call up the Roagan pension
bill as soon as the pending measure
was disposed of.
Stewart of Vermont took tho floor
with a speech in favor of the appoint
ment of a commission.
Tamer of Kentucky supported the
substitute, and claimed its supenon
ty over the committee bill, which did
nothing Lut create useless and orna
mental offices.
Budd, while he favored the general
features of the substitute, vigorously
attacked that portion of it prohibit
ing railroad companies from charging
more for a short than a long haul.
If that provision were retained, he
would bo compelled to vote against
the entire measure. Fending further
debate, the matter went over.
The speaker laid before the house
a message from the president trans
mitting the report of theecretary ot

PAST, PRESENT AND rUlTRE.
Oregon undoubtedly needs capital
from abroad, but tht is not, as we
view it her greatest need. Home
capital has not rightly used its oppui
tuuities. "Merchant." in hi3 letter
lays, as we think, too much stress on
the subject of outside capital. For
n.oiy years there h;u Uen horns cap
ital in Uegon that could have doue
great tuiugs, but per cent has bjeu
its disease. Or, the alternation from
the hyperthropy or per cent W!s the
wasting fever of speculation. Thu.t
has b,ien capital euungh here to have
started all needful industries long
ago, had it been judiciously directed.
Uut its owners preferred 'to go on
from year to year and from decade to
decade collecting percentages and
commissions from the industry of the
country, till one day a lot of them!
bit at tho Villard bait aud wero
tleeced out of a big sum "Merchant"
says four million of dollars. By
this nnd other facts it is niude evident
that Oregon has not needed foreign
capital so much as she has needed a
right direction of her Lome capital.
it is now uuucuit, next to impos
sible, no doubt; to get money iromt
abroad for any undertaking with J
which the name of Oregon is con-1
nected. According to Merchant,"
SGS.OUU.ODO is the sum "dropped" by
outsiders in Oregon railway schemes.)
nxt s a nuj,o totai. uut uregon is
not the delinquent. It ought not to,

men who furnished the m'.jey did not!
select the ptoer mtnagers. 'Jibe!
manageis, in their efforts lo enrich
tLemselves, squandered the
funds. They who had the handling
of this money, or the direction
were not Oregon men. They were"

fact that our people'oTYdloferfffrm
ers, mechanics, merchants, capitalists
who have been isoluted here thirty
years or more, have become fixed in
their habits, customs anil methods,
and these are not ia accord with the
principles aud needs of modern pro
gress. It is not. surprising tint it is
so; it would be surprising if it were
not The Qreyonian is nearly as old
a&ettler as auv, and therefore the
Oreyoninn mav claim the right to
say that the old settler may n t belc"rner Hncmfju
for tho new era the msS rueful
man.
S" A. Clarke, writing in tho Occr-
land Monthly on the pioneers ui
Oregon, quotes John "Whiteakor, lir-st
governor ot the state, as s-iying: "We
don't need railroids, an 1 have no use
for so many people. Yon kuow how
times used to be when we had the
country to ourselves?; when there were
no poor people around us, and few
who were very rich. Then wj hal
good times, and cired nothing for
the outside world; while now, people
are pouring in by the tLonsaud. We
have railroads aud ships come from
all parts of the world, aud times are
hard, and mnny are poor. W; uevjr
again shall see the good tinias. an 1
experience the general goo 1 will til it
we had when there were a few of ih
here in the early days." This is the
voice of old Oregon We want a new
Oregon that will speak with another
tongue!
And therefore on one point we
agree decidedly with ''Merchant.'
There are grc it resources here, and
we want people to develop them. Or
egon and the northwest ought to be
advertised everywhere, as n2Vjr be
fore. We want peonlo from other
states, and capital, too, since if we
may judge tho future froii the past.
neither people nor capital n w he o
will ever do much to develop the re
sources and push on the enterprirC
of the country. Old as Iowa, and
older than K'msis, Minnesoli an 3
Nebraska, Oregon is immeasurably
behind them. The first housa was
built in Denver in 1353. The, city is
now twice as large as Fortland; yet
who supposes that thp resources of
Colorado are c mparablo with tho3e
of Oregon?
Feople who come hero will run
against no walls of fixel and hostile
opinion, such as they find in the
southern states. We have no pecu
liarities, save au indifference to pret
ty near everything, and a love or
ease. We are not in tho "slightest
degree intolerant of tho opinions of
others, and it wa discuss or specul ite
npou matters of opinion it is with a
mild interest or subdued curiosity.
Nothing excites us, that is to s iy, we
have never ben excited yet, and we
are hospitable to the stranger. We
hope he will come among us and go
to work with' an intelligent energy.
Wo should rather enjov seeing that
sort of thing. Thertfjre, mtwith
standing the protests of our Whitea
kers, we hope he will come. As old
settlers here .&e mast admit that we
nave no eso usive rights. We are-
not a "chosen" or "preferred" people.
Tho country isn't onrs exclusively.
apd therefore wa .gay, .'iuilioaoeyr.
