THE ONLY WAY.
Both Congressman Hermann and
Governor Pen noyer are laboring at
the seemingly Impossible in their
efforts to secure a portaee railway
appropriation at the hands of this
congress. Tho Hoi man retrench
ment congress will hardly add
nearly half a million to tho rivers
and harbors appropriation for a pur
pose,that excites interest in congress
only because of its entire novelty,
and it is just as unreasonable to
suppose that such a cougress will
puss a special act for such a largo
sum for an untried scheme.
For persons of ordinary political
acumen it is bard to believe that
either the governor or congressman
expect seriously to get a portage
railway costing $430,000 of this con
gress. The additional fact that one
portage railroad has already been
built, and is owned and operated by
the state, shows the unlikelihood of
the federal government building,
owning and operating the other
portage railway.
The difficulties of the whole mat
ter border upouthe ridiculous, Our
portage would be uuder state con
trol, the other under tho war depart
ment. Tbe state's officers would
fix rates on tho lower portage some
government officer would mtiko
rates on the other. If Oregon desires
this I very doubtful, even as a pres
ent from the government. This
state could hardly afford to use i
portage it could not control.
If Governor Peunoyer aud Con
gressman Hermann earnrstly desire
to serine the building of tho second
portege railway at Tho Dalles they
have taken the road mst thickly
ttt with obstacles. Indeed there
aiomauy reasons for believing that
the only way is to call a special
session of the legislature and author
ize the same state officials to build
it who built the other portago, and
have it built in time for the next
crop.
NOT A miWEUKXOU IN DKGHKIC.
The difference between the
weather in tho Central, Northern
aud Mlddlo states and tho Willa
mette valloy Is not degreo but
essentially in character. While tho
dispatches from those states uni
formly report settled cold weather,
with mercury from zero to forty be
low, there has not only been no
winter in this valley but wo are on
the verge of spring.
Cattle have wintered out of doors
without shelter aud in most caBcs
with no feed but what nature pro
vided, and in most cases are not in
bad condition. Hardier stock like
swine, sheep aud goats have felt no
great need of protection and whole
bands of horses have subsisted on
nothing but pasture, and short poor
pasture at that. Feeders have not
suflered, though It is not to bo im
agined that fine milk cows do well
out all winter.
These facts about stock show the
essential difference between climates
hero and farther east. What this
country can becomo with better
farming, better roads, better pastures
and better attention to moio diversi
fied and profitable crops no one can
tell. But it is certain that with tho
essential aud characteristic advant
ages of climato the other develop
ments that follow in tho wake of
progress and tho Increase of popula
tion, must tend to mako this a rich
spot on tho Pacific coast and that
means one of tho richest in tho
world.
CLKVELA MI) AND HILL.
From tho Atlanta Jeurnal: Tho ob
jections to Mr. Cleveiaud as u proper
candidate that have been urged In
Georgia will be seen to apply with
even moro force to Governor Hill.
Mr. Cloveiand is in favor of letting
alone tho presant silver act, which
provides for the colnageof 61,000,000
silver dollars a year.
Goveuor Hill would have us re
peal that law and return to the Bland
act, which would give us only $21,
000,000 of silver coinage a year. Mr.
Cleveland in a belter friend of silver
by J34.000.000 moro a year than is
Governor Hill.
Tho plan urged by Governor Hill
Is more Inimical to Oliver than any
thing Mr. Cleveland ever advocated.

SHOCKING COMMENT.
A Salrm Lmly Complains of tho liar-
bnrity of Certain Alleged
Journalism.
Tho great miners' federation of
England failed to condole with roy
alty over the death of the dude
Duko of Clarence, although asked
to do so. But they did condole with
tho starving railmnkers of tho mid
land districts, aud appropriated
money to relievo their wants. There
is some Bense to that. Tho working
men of tho world owo no condolence
to dead or distressed royalty. Tho
sooner all tho dukes and hereditary
warts are dead or deposed, tho bettor
for tho laborers of tho world aud
everybody in tho woild should
labor or starve.
Ed. Jeurnal: Tho abovo from a
dully paper of Sunday last, shocked
many people by Its heartless, un
christian comments on the dead son
of ono of earth's fairest and best of
women, tho sweet, gontlo Princess
of Wules. Whatever faults tho
young Duke of Clarence moy have
had, ho adored his mother; ho was
not a dude by any means, but a
quiet, modest, unassuming young
gentleman, far too well bred to In
dulge in such barbarous, unfeeling
criticism of any one of whom ho
knew nothing, especially of one who
had just crossed tho "border land"
Into, let us hope, a kinder world
than this,
Such a deplorable display of Jg
uorauco and heartlessness la be
neath tho dignity of an American,
and brings the blush of shamo to
tho cheek of every liberal minded
Christian American who reads It.
Tho "great miners' federation of
Eugland" who, If tho report be
true, displayed such gross Inhuman
ity, are composed of the lower
classes of that country, and should
bo taught to respect the grief of
both high and low.
Ill) U) KKP0KM.
The I'rfgslne Problem of the Day
Better County Heads an Ab
solute Necessity.
At present the newspapers of Ore
gon are full of discussion of road re
form. The county road questions receiv
ing a great deal of attention Just
now. Kverbody seems to realize
that It is the question of tho hour,
and of vastly moro importance than
almost any other that can bo men
tioned -the tariff, mortgage tax,
and silver questions not expected.
Tjik Journal proposes to devote
several columns a vveok to tho cause
of better roads. Copies of these
tuners will be sent to all the road
supervisors of this couuty who are
not already subscribers. They need
education to better Ideas of road
making. The citizen aud taxpayer
need education as to what consti
tutes good roads. If all the people
bad tho right amount of Intelligence
on this matter better rouds would
bo forthcoming. Tho campaign of
education must precede ull else.
Then will come legislation aud
execution.
The Eugene City Guard ay:
"Tbe farmers Qt Lnue county ore
loosing thousauds of dollars on ac
count of insufficient road work.
They cannot bring their produce to
market, and when necessarily com
pelled to travel tho Injury to vehicles
and horses amounts to a largo sum.
Six months each year Is too long a
period to bo shut oft from market."
This is truo of more counties than
Lane. Nothing much better can bo
expected uuder tho present system
of "road work." To improve the
public roads, It will first bo ncces
sary to do tho work under a hotter
system. It does but little good to
kuow that tho roads in Oregon are
wretched in the winter season if It
docs not lead to tho adoption of ia
systeratbt road work more practical
than tho present ono. Moat of the
roads leading Into Portland aro
almost impassable at this timo of
the year. Lane couuty farmors aro
no worse ofT than thoso who live
nearer the markets of Portland."

MISCELLANY.
WORLD'S PAIR SQUABBLE.
Chi o A oo, Jau. 20. President
Baker, of the local world's fair di
rectory, must step down. He has
given tho fair a black eyo by getting
Into a fight with tho national com
mission and Insisting that Chicago
shall control all tho money aud
patronage. Chicago Is now made to
repudiate him, and an attempt is
now being made to havo Mr. Gage
again accept the presidency. The
address of tho committee on Federal
legislation, refusing to Join Chicago
in asking for an appropriation, Is put
down as tho result of President
Bakor'a pnlloy. Director-General
Davis said yesterday: "Baker has
blundered at every step. Tho work
of tho chief departments Is balked
by him, aud he is exercising author
ity to which ho has no right, Tho
nation is tho directory. Wo raised
the money and we will spend it as
wo see fit,' was his idea. Ho is tho
one mau who causes this trouble.
It 1b not tho members of the direc
tory who havo caused this trouble;
tho directory la all right Under
instruction from tho national com
mission, I gave tlao department
chiefs a general outline, and asked
them to prepare rules for. tho differ
ent dopurtriiont buildings over
which thoy havo control. Those
rules were submitted to tho local
directory. Iu fact, thoy wore pre
pared by tho department chiefs In
conjunction with the corresnondlnsr
committees of tho directory, who
approved thom. Now, Mr. Baker
takes those rules from the printers'
bauds, aud Btons tho work, not onlv
of tho department chiefs, but of his
own committees, and keeps people
waiting all over tho country for ex
hibitors' rules, which should have
been Issued loug ago."

SUUAIl TRUST.
Piiiladklpmia, Jan. 20. Third
street and financial circles generally
becaino excited at a dispatch from
New York, which stated that the
American Sugar Refining Company,
tho sugar trust, us It is publicly
known, had oflerod 10,000,000 for,
tho big sugar refinery of Harrison,
Frasor & Co. There was the usual
fluctuation In sugar prices and other
securities. Brokers discussed with
buBlnecs-liko sagacity tho eflect of
this latest move by the big trust, and
there was a general air of activity
among tho financial operators that
sway the local und general markets,
Mr. Fraser, of the (IrmofHarrl
bod, Fraser &. Co,, was soeu at bis
ofllce. "No," he said, "that's the
first I've heard or this Tbltd-ttrest
rumor, or the offer for our plant"
"The report is. Mr, Fraser, that
you have been offered 110,000,000 for
tho plant of your firm. What about
that?"
"I know nothing about It, but I
say that If such an offer was tuada
I would certainly bo Inform! of it,
and I have uo knowledge wktv
of any such propositions, eltbr from
the sugar trust or from aayo m.
At the same time let me repet that
