Seventy years ago lo-day tlio greatest European battle since Fon tonoy was fougbt at Waterloo, and though greater battles have been chronicled in historv there are few 4 that have been more productive of far reaching results. The third gen eration of Englishmen are still pay ing taxes engendered by the expenses of the campaign that battle closed and a like period of enforced econo my in hundreds of thousands of French households has not yet paid the debt that was the price of Napol eon's glory. Viewed as a vanishing perspective Napoleon and Wellington and Blach or are as remote as Tilly or Marlbor ough, Turenne or Wallenstein. They belong to a half-forgotten era and their prestige perished with the epoch in which they played so prominent a part Since Waterloo the victories of peace have been more pronounced and permanent than those of any of the numerous wars that have de vastated the earth through all the hundred years of world advancement and when in the future is written the history- of this nineteenth century the brilliaut record of advancement in all that makes a people great will outshine the blood smeared page that tells of carnage and the death of mil lions ti gratify lust of power and am bition. On the :30th of May, 1878, when Voltaire had been dead a hundred years, Victor Hugo addressed words of impassioned cologium to a vast concourse of all that was most en lightened and most masculine in France. The discourse on that oc casion was the crowning utterance of this ceutur'. Here is a part of it which kindled the audience to the noblest enthusiasm, spoken as it was almost within sight of the world's exposition of that year: " If to kill is a crime, to kill much can not be an extenuating circum stance. If to steal is a disgrace, to invade can not be a glory. Te Deium are of small significance here; homicide is homicide; bloodshed is bloodshed; it alters nothing to call one's self Caosar or Napoleon; in the eyes of the Eternal God a mur derer is not chauged in character bo cause, instead of a hangman's cap, there is placed upon his head an em peror's crown. Ah! let us proclaim verities! Let us dishonor war! No; bloody glory does not exist. No; it is not good, and it is not useful to make corpses. No; it can not bo that life should travel for death. No; O mothers who sur round me, it cannot be that war, the thief, is to continue- to take your off spring. No, it cannot be that women are to bear children in anguish, that men are to be born, that communities are to plow and sow, that the peasant is to fertilize the fields and the work men enrich the cities, that thinkers are to meditate, that industry is to perform its marvels, that genius is to execute its prodigies, that the vast human activity is to multiply in the presence of the starry heavens its ef forts and its creations in order to produce that frightful international exposition which is called a field of battle! The truo field of battle (pointing to the exhibition) -behold it! It is this rendezvous of the masterpieces of human labor which Paris at this moment offers to the world !" Human life is made up of two ele mentspower and form. In the days of Waterloo form was in the ascend ant; to-day, power, the power of the people, the power of ideas, the power of progress, the power of wide diffu sion of knowledge, rules the earth, and it is but the twilight glimmering that precedes the perfect day when Wnterloos will be impossible, and the words of Jeanne in the good old song will have come to pass, "I'd have those that made the quarrels be the only ones to fight" The Canadian Pacific has been completed to within ten miles of the summit of the Selkirks, and only seventy miles of the contract work of the Onderdonks remain to be finish ed. At present there are 5,000 men at work on the road, 1,000 having been sent out within the last ten days, and within a mouth 2,000 more will be forwarded. The line is now being operated to the first crossing of the Columbia river, a distance of 1,025 miles from Winnipeg. At least -1,000 persons are under the management and direction of the commissioner of pensions. The sal ary list amounts to S1,000,000 annual ly, exclusive of pension agents and examining surgeons. The mail re ceived averages 7,500 pieces daily. The mail sent out is much larger. FIFTEEX YEARS OF GROWTH. William Beid of Portland has is sued a treatise on the progress of that city and the state from 1870 to the present time, dealing with each important item in the business life of the country. The fifteen years un der review, says the Oregonian, cov er the period of our important devel opment and of the author's connec tion with Oregon affairs. Our growth in population is traced with interesting detail. On the 1st of January, 180S, the population of the entire state was S0,171, while the population of Portland was 6,717; that of Salem 1,200; Albany S5G, and Astoria 550. Of this number scarcely 10,000 persons were located east of the Cascade mountains. Two years later the state's population was 90, 9S3, and the number of inhabitants in Portland, owing to the building of the east and west side railroads, in creased from G,717 to 11.103 by the 1st of January, 1872. From that time till the 1st of January. 187-1, the growth was small or nothing. Jay Cooke k Co.'s failure, and the stop page of work on the O. C. and O. & C. roads, effectually put a stop to immi gration. Portland and suburbs had, on the 1st of January. 1874, 12,459 inhabitants, while the state's popula tion aggregated 95,673 persons. From 1875 to 1878, the population of the state, including Portland and Astoria, had increased considerably; bnt the most rapid stride in population has been in eastern Oregon and Washing ton during the last eight years. In 1874 the entire number of white per sons therein amounted to only 15, 000, and to-day official statistics and the last presidential vote show there are now in eastern Oregon and eastern Washington ter ritory over 15S.000 persons; in Port land and suburbs, 35,000; Astoria, 6,000; Salem, the capital of the state, 5,500; and tbe entire population of the state about 300,000. To those who remember the old grist mill, -with its single or doublo run of stone, its lazy wheel, and the miller who was boss, and all hands, the feat ot one of the great Minneap olis mills in turning out 0,200 barrels of flour in one day, seems to mark as great an advance in mechanical ap pliances and business enterprise as can be shown in any manufactures. The growth of some of Iho southern states is illustrated by the statement concerning Chatta nooga that it has increased since the war "from a clump of whitewashed warehouses and shanties to a city of 23,000 inhabitants; from a lax-roll of SL,300,000 to one of $7,000,000; and has increased its business capital from S209,000 to S5,Q00,000.M The woman suffrage question has ceased to be, "Why should women be allowed to rote?'' and has assumed instead this ferm: "When will women in general bo convinced that it is their duty to vote?" Whosoever can answer this question can predict very accurately the time when woman suf frage will be universally accepted. It is said that only 20 per cent, of the young lawyers who start out in their profession in New York city succeed. There are said to be 11,000 lawyers in the state of New York and 70,000 in the TJnited States. Tun ruling of the presiding offi cers in the Tennessee legislature that members present, but refusing to vote, could bo counted to make up a quorum, has been condemned by ex speaker Blaine and Randall. Thomas Graham, a minor of Gran ite creek, eastern Oregon, while at work in his mine last week, picked up a nugget weighing four and a half pounds, and valued at $900. Br July loth the grand Niagara cataract and surroundings on the American side will be a grand park, free to the public. 2IAKR1ED. In Astoria, June 17th, IBS.;, at Grace Episcopal Church, liv Kev. M.
