Let the business mau, tbe me
chanie, tlio professional man and
tbe laborer return to their various
vocations and devote their energies
from this time forwurd to advancing
their own personal Interests nnd
building up the community of which
they form a part. There Is a
splendid future for Salem, and all
her citizens If they will but grasp
their opportunities nnd make the
most of their advantages. A future
that no political changes short of n
war r a revolution can check or
mar. The success or failure of neither
political party can obstruct the way
of tiie splendid prosperity tho cap

from troubling. Pull ofl your coats,
gentlemen, anu go to worK with a

THE JOLLIFICATION TO-.MUHT.
The Grand Victory to lie Celebrated
In Salem.
A (J rand Treat.
Last night the two literary socie
ties of tho Willamette university
met nt their hulls in Joint session,
and rendered uu entertaining pro
gram which had been previously
prepnred. The Indies and gentle
men of tho university conduct sepa
rate societies for the development of
the literary faculties and at tho close
of a school term tiro wont to have
a co-operutlvo meeting. Such being
the case, it Is our regret that the
regular school terms do not come to
a close more frequently any every
few weeks. The evening was en
Joyubly spent, and tho attendance
was fur beyond the capacity of the
iiii-uiy appointed nans ot tlio socie
ties. It might not be Impcrtine.it
to remark that in the Sliiikesncarp
JSticons controversy our friend Nel
son took the side of Uacon.
Narrow Gauge Extension.
Several railroad projects are being
thoroughly discussed by the press of
the stato and tho Indications aro
that Oregon will lay more railroad
Iron during 18S9 than on any
previous year. A Corvullis naiier

pbiiiu juuu iroin Astoria to con
nect with the O. P. somewhere be
tween there and tho Cascade ramie.
Is almost a settled fact and tho ox
tentlon of tho narrow gauge from
Airllo to Yaquina Hay is receiving
attention from tho farmers and
merchants of Polk, Yamhill and
IJenton counties and wo believe the
project will niaterallzo. A united
clliirt will assure tho extension that
would be a great bonellt to tho
runners of tho Willamette valley.
To-night the goddess !t victory
will reign supreme and assist in the
celebration of the result of the
glorious national contest. Harrison
and Morton have won by a good
majority, having but one less elec
toral votes than did Cleveland In
1834, and tho observance will be
unanimous. Musi 7, cannon, fire
crackers, horns, sboutsund laughter
will fill the air and all will go as
merry as the marriage bell. This is
the close of one of thegreatcst strug
gles for many years and the win
ning party will make the welkin
ring in honor of the occasion.
Beautiful anjl gaud ;trc the decora
tions which are r-elng prepared.
Transparencies, Hags, lanterns,
banners and illuminations of a
thousand kinds will line tbe course
of the march, which Is aa follews:
Tho procession will form at 0:30,
with Chief Marshal Jasper Minto
and aides in cuiriumud, on State
street with its Tight, the band lead
ing, resting on Commercial. The
line of march will bo thence down
Commercial to Chemekete; up
Chemeketeto Liberty; down Liberty
to Marion; up Marion to High; up
High to Chemekete; up Chemekete
to Church; up Church to Court; up
Court to Summer; up Summer to
State; up State to Cottage; up Cot
tage to Ferry; down Ferry to Com
mercial; down Commercial to Court
and thence to the opera house cor
ner, where the grandest display of
pyrotechnics will be given that the
Salemites have ever hud the pleas
ure of witnessing.
Following this and at eight o'clock
the exercises at the opcru house will
commence. These will consist of
music and speaking. Hon. Ilufus
Mallory will be present and deliver
the address.
Large numbers of persons from
the country are expected to be
present and join in the enthusiastic
parade. Let It be a fitting observa
tion of a glorious light honorably
won, in which the principles of
honest government ns interpreted
by tho republican party, have con
quered the free trade ideas of our
British friends, the enemy.
