The gradual im provement of the money market in the east will ue an advantage wnen the sale takes nlaco. Our neonle. thouirh. are tired of living on rumors of purchasers who will pay enough to liquidate labor claims, and read ers of tho Dkmociiat are not advised to pay fancy pri'-es for script with this ob ject inview, though it is hoped there will be a safe sale, and there is somi reason to believe tho f.100,000 will be doubled. The Salem Journal gets warmed up in the following manner which the Democrat give without endorsing; The stato court lias been in control of the Oregon Pacific now Feveml years and what benefit to the people? None whatever. What tho Jour nal has contended for is that it is the duty of the state government to step in and see that justice is done. The governor and attorney gcuenil and railroad commission have the law and authority needed to act. (iovemor Pennoyer cither lias not the brains to comprehend the situation and direct the power of tho state upon the situ ation, or he has not tho disposition to act. The sale of the profierty should have been confirmed and tho 3)0.000 applied at once to pay the tint liens which are those of labor as far as it could be done. Money could le borrowed to pay the rest, about $-'00,000 more. The five hundred families that arc now in want and suffering from the neglect of the company to pay them certainly have claim ujion the protection of the stato. &o far the interference of the stale has lieen only to protect tho corporation managers, vho havo done nothing but manage to fill their own iiockets and those of their friends. The cry that tho state should not be taxed to manage the Oregon Pacific, is a rank fraud. It is now taxed to mismanage it, and to nfTord the people no protection whatever. The people are taxed. Judge Fnllerton's court exiienses in connec tion with this railroad will bo found to foot up to thousands. The attorneys, othcials and roceher will all get their fee and salaries, while the proerty goes to the devil and the laborers sturve. fchame up on such a state government. Shasuiiai, China, Dec 23, 193. E'Jifots Democrat; AVe reached here 10 days ago after a most pleasant and ite.iceful voYam. 1 cal l fill many pages if I were to tell of nil we have seen and enjoyed eince leaving Albany. Anung the C5 cabin passengers who sail ed from Pan Krancis?o on the 'China on Nov 21, none certainly had more friends at the dock to say good bye than the 'l Bap tist missionaries, and surely none on board enjoyed themselves more thin these mis sionaries, and those representing other societies, niiikiug in all a company of 21, some returning; others going out l'ke most of us for the first time, to various fields in thecal. Six daya brought us to Hono lulu, 'l'he evening and forenoon spent there were tilled full of new sight". It is really a charming spot and seemed to us like one big conservatory. Ae found tho people greatty lrxen-cd politically, and had it been known that your correspondent repre sented an American daily supporting the present administration it is doubtful if we would have been permitted to laud. Vve; saw many lino buildings a church costing $130,000, and long t roots of fine homes, spacious tropical gardens without end. The weather here was warm and steamy and we had lovely smooth sons in these southern latitudes. ith the exception of one or two days we had good weather all the way. Missionaries are frequently snubbed on shipboard but our company held the bal ance of power this time and bad things our own way. Capt wood and everybody con nected with the steamer were very pleasant and the passengers were either companion able or amusing. On Sundays some of our company conducted services. We had much singing and regular morning pravers at the missionaries' table in the dining hall. On the 18th day we sighted lofty Fuji the snow covered mountain of Japan, ii appearance much liko Mt Hood, and soon we were in the heautitul bav ot leudo. sight of little, odd Japanese villages, and wiiu interesting foreign sigms on every hand. We hud three days in this part; crowded full of sight-seeing and greatly ! enjoyed. Monday was spent in Tokio. Our time was too limited to call jwrsonally upon all its J, "00,000 people, but we saw Japan's famous temples und public build ings, the latter in foreign stylo strangely contrasting with the former. The walls of the ancient feudal city and the Mikado s palace, the narrow streets thronged with these quaint people, are sights long to be remembered, Japan n as had a remanta- ble history in the last fifteen years, lhero are signs of eastern civilization onoveryside. She certainly deserves tho mure of "The Sunrise Kingdom." lust now there exists a strange feeling against foreign control in the various enterprises, commercial, edu cational and moral, which she has hitherto been willing to leave to others. This is not entirely without ground in one regard, as in the treaties J apan has the worst of the bargain always. But this feeling is also largely accounted for by the character istics of tho people. They nro naturally alert and progressive, bnt withal somewhat tickle and intellectually supercial and con ceited. Leaving Yokahoma, we had a delightful week along the picturesque coast ami through the fame us inland sea, making frequent stops sufficiently long at most places to let us do considerable sight sor ing. At Kobe we had time to run up to Osaka, eighteen miles up tho bay, by rail. This is the second city in Japan ami is a creat manufacturing center. The old feudal cas tle is a great sight. Xolwdy knows where these great stones came from or how they were transported hither. From Kobe the scenery was fine. At times the channel was very narrow and occasionally wo seem entirely land locked. Most of Japan's IftOO islands nro in the inland sea. frequently t!icy nro terraced clear to tho tops by tho miui.it u re farms. The farmers hero are worse off than at l.omo and are ripe for some alliance agitation, tio low are import duties by treaty stipulation that the land tax is very heavy, requiring, it is said, one-half the product of the soil; one-fourth must go t- the landlord, as few own their little plots, so there is not much left. It is remarkable- how they live at all on such tiny gardens but the chbf food of the peo- Sle is rice and tish. We had time to see himomifeiki and IJoga Saki the latter especially charming, fho drerded yellow sea was very smooth and we sailed up tho Woosung river to Shanghai on Tuosday, Decerning 10, twenty-eight days from San- Francisco, including all tho above men tioned stops. Our tiine here has been spent in preparations for tho long journey up the angsie. We leave Saturday by steamer for Ilarkow and b haug, then we take native house-boats and hope to reach nr stations before March. On leaving Stanifliai our party wiil adopt Chinese cos tumes. We are having much amusement as one after another apitear in celestial hah iliments. Missionaries in port cities do not do this, bat it is thought wise for interior workers as helping to get near the people and relieving us from mucii notoriety in part where foreigners are seldom sepri. Wo find the costumes extremelv comforta ble and not unattractive though the styles here differ much from the pacific coast. Shanghai is an inlerrstins city, heing the bniest emporium ot the eat and hav ing a large foreign population. English so that we havo not only l?en in- tereated in obnerving Chinese but English customs as well Few horses are used for ! moving cargoes. Coolies with polo or j arrows with large wheels have a iuouoih ly. Many natives prefer these also for pas senger trans jHrtat ion, the JinrikUha which is common in the tort tow ns. The picture of tie b ind and warehou&o sections is most iu-tetesting. The journey up the river, above Ichaulg promises to be very romantic and 1 hope to have time from the study of Mundorin, to tell Albany friends something of our exper iences With the harW fall of gunboats, things are quiet hereof court, but we do not ap-, prehend that it will Ins otherwise in the in-1 terior. Most of .the si-are people have, heard so much about haa been originated ; by tne progressive newspaper repr rter.Jwlo was scarce of news. The great mass ot the Chinese never heard of tioary or his great ! counUy. Of course we exju'ct our people at home to behave themselves and treat China iind her subjects in America as they would be treated.
