There Is a very sensitive person I'l this city bo sensitive us to bo u.i vblo to Ivear The Journal's vigorous methods of dealing wltli tlio Pacific railway corporations. Tlila sensitive person must Bpond nearly all of Ids tunt watohlnguver these Pueitlo railways that they do not come to harm. Thu balauce of his time the sunaltlvo pereou up pears to put in watchlug The Jour nal, lest It speaks aught disrespect fully of his pets. As The Journal is about the only paper that over uicutlous the Paelllc corporations it is a special cause- of grief to the seust tive being aforesaid and he has taken the trouble to have an article from these colums copied Into a newspaper that Is very much to his tnstound also to the taste of the cor poration generally, to which Tin: Journal does nut object as it Is proper the readors of that paper mould, by some means sometime get a morsel of ttuth through its Alumns. The Journal shall probably cou tinue to discuss tho Pacific railway corporations and the ofttqlals eon ueoted therewith, so much as its readers will bear whou there Is .night to discuss. They are govern ment railroads, built by the govern ment, largely Indebted tothegovarn ment to tin extent they can never repay and It is only a question of tiiuo when they will bo taken pos session of by tho government. By the prostitution of political methods their managers have been allowed to become millionaires, and born of tho unholy wedlock of these cor porations with corrupt politics there have come into existence In this fair land of ours tho bastard brood of plutocratic lulluencea that depress producer and consumer alike. In England, Germany, Holland, Bel- glum and other old world mon archies tho government gives the masses cheap use of railways, tele graphs and other modern inventions. In our Republic the people pay more dearly for these same public services only in older that millionaires may multiply anil rule In a people's gov ernment. The sousltlve man who pities poor corporations over a con cealed name should see tho point. In these days when It Is difficult to tell who is a true friend of tho peo ple, the eflort to silcuco discussion of this subject by calling nu editor a 'Ilerr Most," becauso he differs rad ically from your vlows, 1h uot apt to be successful with fair minded peo ple. Tho corporation Issue Is be coming more clearly defined. Thu great Pacific railways arc golug to be taken into tho services of tho leotile more than they have been. Thoy have been used as private property long enough. This Jour nal can bear the ceusuro of purblind .ulvocates of tho existing order of things with a good grace becauso it knows thero is a better day dawn ing. AN Ori'.N.ltlVKIl CON'dltr.iAltAN. There aro persons who laugh at tho proposition. They sneer at tho Idea of sending n man to Washing Ion from this district to press the Importance of the oue Idea of open ing our rivers to tho seaboard. They do not realize the situation. They do not realize that tho prod ucts of this great valley aro practio- nlly shut iu and at thu mercy of one corporation, through which alone they can seek tho markets of tho world. They do uot rcallzo that Portland capital his since years ttken a tell of ten cents a bushel oft every bushel produced for market lu this valloy owing to tho present transportation monopoly. They do not realize that while this condition of afiuiH has multiplied untold wealth In tho hands of tho capital Ists, and has created many million aires, It has grouud down tho pro ducers until they are nearly ready for a political revolution. Wheu a few hundred thousand dollars will bring relief, tho people aro entitled to have It, when tho government Is spending mil lions on rivers und harbors an nually. All that Is needed to break the embargo on our commerce and open our rivers to the sea and open our commerce to the markets of thu world, Is to make an open river a political Issue and elect an open river congressman from this dUtrlot. Borne persons may regard thete utterance ns ltucrtlnent or persis tent, from m political standpoint, hut every niuu we ak, what Is of the most Interest for the prosperity and development of (his country, answers, oo open river.

But the political mana gers also owe it to tho people to bring this about if thoy would uot bo nut-jieneralled by the farmers thcmxnlvea. Tho subtreasury sys tem Is regarded by some as a soveto recourse, but it Is a thousand times to be preferred to tho present Iron clad monopoly that robs tho farmer to multiply tho wealth of million aire.j. If tho government docs not open tho rivora it will bo obliged to open Its warehouses. HO VI) UKFOltM. The Eugene Guard says: "Tho uext legislature should mako n ratll eal amendment to our road laws, Road tuxes should bo paid In oa&h anil the work let under specifications by contract. Some of tho farmer oppose such n law but they reason front wrong premises. Truu their road taxes cost them nothing direct ly under tho present system, as thoy put in a team and probably a boy and work It out, wheu nothing else Is on hand. But when thoy como to consider tho euormous vear on vehicles and horses traveling over rough roads, and tho loss sullered by being unable to got their produce to market lu winter when they could obtalu high prices for It, to say nothing of pcrsoual comfort It will be seen that thoy are great losers. If a cash payment was oxactcd tho roads would be put In a coiulltluu In a few years so that tho rato of taxa tion could bo lessened. SlJOORSTi:t OOM.UKNT. Good luck may not pursue tho Democracy In 1892 as It did In 1890. Indications from tho election of 1801 are that it has turned against them already,. According to tho Democratic press, that party is not better ofl thuu tho Republican, lu having a few persons among its leaders who aro unlit to hold places of power over tho people. Tho Walla Walla Union-Journal voices tho sentiment of nlue-teuths of tho people of the Unltod Btatos when It says: "President Harrlsou recommends a constitutional amend ment to regulato cleutlons of presi dent and congressmen, Let It in clude tho election of sonators by tho people. Kvory honest ballot must as good as ovory othor honest ballot. John L. Ayer has been chosen president of tho State Republican League. Houamo from tho 15.nt about two years ago.

Ames came nil the way from Maple Valloy, Wash., to buy someonunlef- 'felt money. Ho reached Now York (Friday morning nnd promptly paW $1-10 for a brick In a box, which the green-goods speculators gave him. fl'ho box was supposed to be nlUt Iwlth counterfeit money. Ames was propnolor of a Baw null out In Maplo Valley. His mill Uurmjit down and when ho rebuilt It a few weeks ago It burned again. Ho was In hard luck aud low spirits when a green-goods circular foil Into his hands. He entered into correspou iIomco with tho swindlers and, fol lowing their directions, camo to Now York by the Rtiltlrnoro & Ohio roa 1, Just before tho train reached Jersoy City, a yottug man entered tho car nud thou sat down with Ames, remarking as ho did so, "Churohlll, No. 8," this being tho countersign that tho swindlers had sent him by mall. After reaching Now York thoy went by a very roundabout course to a dingy llttto room whore Ames was Introduced to an old man, who gave hint a bundle of "counterfeit" notes to examine. He negotiated fur V1400 Of bills, and handed over $ 140 or It. He watched tho old man closely as ho packed thu rolls of bill In a small pine box. The hot was full when Ames was told to write his namo and address on a slip of paper. Then a nctlly wrapped parcel was given to him, nnd he hugged It under his arm. "Take hint to the train," suld tho old man: "You had bettor not take him book to the same depot; our goods are so good that the police would llko too well to get their clutches on some of Ihctn." Tho messenger took Ames to tho Mott Haven station. It was about 11 o'clock when they reached there, Ames bought a ticket to Little Rock, Ark.
