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

gers also owe it to tho people to
bring this about if thoy would uot
bo nut-jieneralled by the farmers

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

open tho rivora it will bo obliged to
open Its warehouses.

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

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

thuu tho Republican, lu having a
few persons among its leaders who
aro unlit to hold places of power
over tho people.

left Montana ten days ago, he said,
but had been caught In tho blizzard
which struck Dakota last week and
given a taste of wluter weather,
which had caused n delay of soma

"It will bo somewhat greater this

lu round numbers $41,000,000 kt

aggregate output will bo gold.
Silver, copper aud lead are tho

NhWJYork, Dee. 2L--Georgo W.
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. Tb
messongor then suggested a parting
drink nud thoy separated on tho best
of terms. Presently a man entered
the station with a very simitar
package under his arm. A r-hrewd
looking young man was guiding him
as Amos hud been escorted to th
station. Iu an Instant It flash!
across Ames' mind that tho coun
tryman was a follow victim, and he
walked up to him aud whtspeml,
"You have been bit Just m I WW."
The countryman did not uinlgrslswl
the warning, but thu lumwwt
took alarm and was out of sight
