W ith the ehctidii of Ilarriso n and
M orton, the governm ent goes hack
to the |»arty which stood by the un
ion when the dem ocrats tried to de
stroy it. T he em phatic answ er of
the northern voters have come bark
th at the tariff m ust l>e sustained. No
more M ills bill.
The election returns have been
eagerly watched by all parties. At
present a riling it seems as though
H arrison has curried every northern
state, except Connecticut and N ew
Jersey which will take an official
count to decide; also W est V irginia.
From the returns it is probable th at
tiie n e x t House o f R epresentatives
w ill he Republican.
Our Salem and A lbany exchanges
are full of it e m s about th e proposed
A storia and V alley railroad, and it
is a suhjtH'i th at dem ands attention.
R ailroad building in Oregon in the
next few years is going to be o f a
character to stir up localities. Folk
com ity w ith all its splendid resources
is not going to be slow in inereas-
ng its advantages.
One m an is ’som etim es afraid to
praise another, lest by exalting the
accom plishm ent of th at other, he
should seem to depreciate his own.
But, iu tru th , it is often m ore
praisew orthyin us to praise an o th er
w orthily than it would l>c for us to
have done th e very th in g w hich is
deserving of praise in th at other. To
praise w orthily is one of the best
ways o f I icing praisew orthy.
