That party goes before the country in the present campaign as the champion of no great reform and the opponent of no flagrant abuse. Its battle cry in the present na- tional campaign, as indicatea by the pre- liminary skirmish in congress, will be, ““Turn the rascals out.” In other words, “Turn the republicans out of office, so that the democrats may come into office,” Taking it for granted that the platforms of both parties will as usual be mere platitudes promising what is pepular and that the democracy having a later conven- tion than the republicans will promise groater things, wo take it that the demo- cratic party before ousting the republi- cans from power must show by its oon- duct that it will give us better govern- ment than we now have.

OREGON'S MISPORTUNES. A combination of misfortunes has been thoe cause of producing very hard times in Oregon. The extremo cold weather of last winter destroyed the wheat plant- ing of tho fall previous, and the next sea sona drouth occurred—being the first ever known in Oregon —and almost ruin- The salmon industry be ed the crops. came seriously embarrassed, and next came Villard's collapse, which drew from the country a large amount of ready money® On the wheat crop, $2,5000,- 000; on the fruitand vegotable crops, $2,000,000; on salmon, $400,000, and in stock specalations, $4,000,000. The en- tire annual income ¢f Orogon is less than 30,000,000, and consequently the above losses, amounting to about one-third of her annual income, are a staggering blow to that usually prospoerous state. Dur- ing the past month there have been twenty suspensions and assignments of old and prominent business houses, and it is said that the trouble has only just begun. The cessation of railroad con- struction and the withdrawal of the large force of workmen have stopped the in- flux of money which for a period made flush times in Oregon. It is said that it is almost impossible to borrow money in Oregon, as the banks have been losers, owing to Villard’s failure. The mer- chants find it very difficu’t to make col- loctions, and business of all kinds is crippled and at a standstill. The effect of the hard times in Oregon is felt quite heavily in San Francisco, whose jobbers aro large creditors of the Oregon mer- chants. However, the San Francisco jobbers will probably give their distress- ed customers liberal treatment, as the prospects are that that state will rapidly recuperate and regain its former pros- perity. THE TRADE SITUATION. ‘Wiar has become of the Omaha & Northern Nobraska railroad that was go- ing to be built in such a short time from Omaha by Mr, Clark, Mr. Thurston and other Union Paitic officials? Is it taking - rest along with the Omaha belt line? act of Governor Cleveland was his veto of the elevated railroad bill, which promised to give the workingmen in New York cheap fares from their work- shops to their homes. In Pennsylvania the democratic legislature piled up half a million in taxes in a fruitless wrangle of six months, in order that its members might pocket ten dollars a day. The alection of Henry B. Payne as the suc- cessor to George H. Pendleton shows conclusively that the Ohio democracy is not only bitterly opposed to the reform of the civil service, but the abject slave of the most venal of monopolies. The surrender to the railroad cormorants by the democratic congress is strikingly il- lustrated by the abortion which the democratic committoe on commerce has substituted for Mr. Reagan’s bill to regu- late the railways, and the cowardice of that party is exhibited in its treatment Y of the proposed revision of the tariff, A U~bee the call of the chairman, Hon. | ,urty that has not backbone enough to G.

The Yellowstone and Tongue rivers are Trade throughout the country has not improved materially during the past week or two. One of the causes of the present dullness in the eastern markets is the floods in the Ohio valley, The merchants of Cincinnati, Louisville, and other cities and towns in the flooded districts, have been crippled in their business, and have delayed their purchases. Trade in the south is reported to be in good condition. In the north and northwest there is some little improvement. Although there is no particular activity the trade situation is upon the whole satisfactory for this sonson of the year. The jobbers are looking for a healthy spring trade, and expect that it will open up quite early. The Philadelphia Record thus sums up the situation: The jobbing trada in most linek is only moderately active. Local and country orders, as a rule, are for small lots pro- portioned to actual requirements, and when these are supplied buyers retire from the market to await a reduction of stocks before duplicating purchases. In dry goods the aggregate movement from first hands has fallen of somewhat, es- acially in cotton goods, of which there as been a very large distribution during the past month. Trade in this line has been very fair, however, and the market shows a strong from, owing to the lessened output of the mills and the fact that values are still a8 low as compared with the cost of pro- duction. The woolen goods market has not developed the activity expected, but demand is improving. The production of spring woolens been unusually well sold up by manufacturers, and o mills are still working on duplicate orders. A good deal of machinery is now running on heavy goods for the com- ing fall and winter trade, and there will be a general change to this class of pro- duction as soon as lgriug orders are com- pleted. The worsed mills are very busy. and there is a continued good demand for woolen yarns. The raw staples show little change in price, and are selling ohiefly in small lots to meet the near wants of the looms. The anthracite coal trade is more active, and the supply at tidewater shipping points has con: idyau bly decreased. There have been few large transactions in iron or steel, but a good ng{lru ate business in both crude and finished products has been done in small lots, An improving trade is confi- dently expected by the leading compan- ies. Prices on grain and provisions are lower than a week ago, but there is little real change in the situa- tion. The markets are largely under speculative control, and the de- cline 18 due in part to manipulation, as was the previous advance, Values on hog products are not generally regarded as high, in view of the comparatively small packing operations and the cost of hogs during the present season; but the sharp changes in the markets, indicating speculative troatment, have impaired contidence on the part of foreign buyers, and the outward movement at the mo- ment is light. Exporters have continued to purchase very sparingly, and specu- ation is halting and undecided. The stock of winter wheat is decreasing in all markets, and western millers ave paying almost as much in Toledo, St. Louis and ab other interior points as can be ob- tained on the seaboard, This and the uncertainties of the crop outlook are the features of the situation that influence most of the present buying for higher prices; but their effect upon she general market is outweighed by the dullness of the foreign trade.

Tt is the same old song, ‘‘Gobble! gobble! gob- ble!” WEST OF THE MISSOURI, Ttis only a question of a few years when the Union Pacific will manufacture its own steel rails aud steel for building purposes. The enormous amount of that metal required in the operation of the dozen or more roads controlled by the company would keep a large sized plant buay from one end of the year to the other. PresidentSidney Dillon has been quietly investigating the subject for some time and the Pittaburg Commercial thus notes a recent visit to that city “‘President Sidnay Dillon, of the Union Pacitic Railway company, was in the cit; a few days ago. The project hltl brought him is a big one. He was quiet- ly investigating the subject of Bessemer steel rails, both the cost aboard cars and the cost of manufacture. His plans con- template the erection of a Bessemer plant larger than the Edgar Thomson for theex- clusive manufacture of steel for steel rails, structural purposes, and for engine and car building. The result of the investi- gation was the deferenco at present of the active prosecution of the work. Mr. Dillon was interviewed on the subject. He said that the present state of the market made it possible to buy rails as cheaply as they could be made anywhere, but that his company did not expoct pres- ent prices to rule long, and they could at lenst save the h.uh:s by making their own rails, ‘Our road,’ said Mr. Dil- lon, ‘will use our entire product. We will make our own rails, our own bridge and culvert steel, and pretty soon we well make our own cars and locomotives.” The orders for machinery, furnaces, etc., will be placed in Pittsburg shortly.” It gis among the possibilities that Omaha will be selected as the point for the works. It is now the great distribut- ing depot of the company and by far the larger quantity of the metal would be needed for locomotives and bridge mater- inls turned out at the shops in this city. The question of cheap fuel does not now enter into the manufacture of this metal, as it has been proven beyond doubt that the very best of steel can be produced from furnaces neated by the crude oil process. The oil can be brought from Wyoming while the mountains of iron Utah and Colorado would furnish an in- exhaustible sapply of ore. Such an in- stitution would add one thousand men to the pay roll of the company and prove profitable alike to the company and the city. The fact that. the senate committee on territories has recommended that the Yollowstone National park be placed un- der the jurisdiction of Gallatin county, Montana, has roused the wrath of all Wyoming. *“Nothing could be moro in- sulting, nothing more outrageous,” ex- claim the territorial press in one voice. The fact is that congress cannot well do otherwise, as northern Wyoming is so sparcely settled thata court to try of- fenders could not find shelter within one hundred miles of the park, while Living- ston and Bozeman in Montana are at the unl{ acessible door at present to the won- derland. To'give Wyoming jurisdiction - |among the bankrupts of the west. would entail enormous expense in bring- ing prisoners hundreds of miles south for trial. The senate bill as amended, on- larges the park thirty miles on the east and ten miles on the south, and cuts off two miles on the north and west. The bill contains stringent prohibitory provis- ions relative to killing game or taking fish within the park. The secretary of the interior is authorized to lease small portions of ground in the park, not ex- ceeding ten aces for each tract, on which may be erected a houee, for a period not exceeding ten years, but sush leaso shall not include the geysers or other objects of interest or curiosity, or exclude the public from free and convenient approach thereto, or include any grouad within a quarter of a mile of any geyser or Yel- lowstone fall; nor shall * there be leased more than one tract, not exceeding ten acres, to any ;one person, association or corporation, The Hatch hotel company, whichsstart- ed in last spring with a loud flourish to fleece tourists at the rate of $6 a day, has gone to the wall, and is now numbered The property of the concern has been taken by Montana oreditors. The trouble seoms to be that Uncle Rufus failed to keep his promise to take $500,000 of stock, The Swan Land and Cattle eompany is probably the richest and most exten- sive properties on the plains. It is an important factor in the Omaha Stock Yards scheme, and will doubtless furnish a large number of the beeves to be slaughtered here in the near future. The largest transfers of property ever made in Wyoming was recorded by this com- pany in Cheyenne last week. The con- sideration was $2,088,620, The prop- erty consisted of 88,000 head of cattle, besides ranches and improvements, horses and personal property, all situated in Laramie county, This was simply the swallowing of & number of small con- corns by the giant company, making it the most powerful cattle corporation in the territory. 1t shows, too, how rapidly all the small fish in the business are being dovoured by the whales of the plains. Similar wealthy companies have sprung into_existence, in the past year, in Ne- braska, Montana aud Colorado, and in a short. time tho oattle business of the country will be in the hands of a few. The managers of the Oregon Short Line are actively at work on plans for ex- tending the road the coming summer, A connection will be made with the Oregon Railway and Navigation line near the western boundary of Idaho, The firat winter of the road has been an un- profitable one. Snow storm succeeded suow storm, until the track was covered by from one to twenty feet of suow. In one instance a train was snowed in near Hailey, and held in the frigid erip of the blizzard for over sixty hours. A portion of the road had to be entirely abandoned in the past three weeks owing to the suc- oession of snow storms and the inability of the company to secure a sufficient number of hands to keep the track clear. This is a repetition of {h- oxperience of oIl new roads ina mountainous country in ! sweeping assertion soema to be confirmed | wi.Mter. { The Union Pacific was similarly bloe,"aded during the winter of '60-70, but the company soon put the roads be- yond the power of snow drifts, so that » stoppage of traffic from this cause is & rare occuriense now. Doubtless similar measures will be taken on the Short Line during the surnmer, and the exposed por- tion of tho road protected by snow sheds or other eflective means Boise City, the sapital of Tdaho, is fif teen miles off the rwin line of the road. A branch will be built to the city this summer, and the ancient capital will then experience, for the first time, the vitaliz- ing power of rail conneetion with the rest of the world. The town is loeated on the north side of Boise river, about 50 miles above its confluence with Snake river, It is over forty years of age, and hies a pop? now estimated at 3000, Here, far teom wie main lines of travel, av_cestble from the great world outside only by long and tedious journeys by stage or teams, for days and nights, over forbidding, desolste and uninhabited stretches of sagebrush, desert and alkali plains, in what was so long considesed as a far off corner of the country, the pio- neers and settlers of Idaho have built their little city, founded their homes and established their places of trade and busi- nese. The administration of justice in Col- orado is not always attended with satis- factory results, except when Judge Lynch presides, and it is not strange to hear of the summary hanging of quacks, murderers or horse thieves in different parts of the state. A recent case before Judge Rogers, of Denver, illustrates the uncertainty of jury verdicts. The pris- oner was charged with disposing of mortgaged property, and the evidence was 80 strong against him that the court instructed the jury that their duty was|= plain—to bring in a verdict of guilty. It was just the reverse, and called from the court the following scathing rebuke: “‘There has been a great deal said lately regarding the administration of justice in the state of Colorado, and I deem that at this time I should be doing injustice tomy positionand the people whom I am put here to represent, to pass by a verdict of this character. The evidence in the case was clear and plain, and un der the instructions of the court there was but one obligation imposed upon you, and that was to find the defendant guilty as charged. The result of verdicts of this character is to produce such of- fences as have given a very undue promi- nence to Colorady throughout the entire country, arising from transactions such as are notorious in the way of what 1s termed lynch law. When jurors forget their oaths, when they refuse to obey what is required of them by the dictates of justice and by the requirements of the community in which they live, we cannct blame the people who take the law in their own hands and hang the in- nocent as well as the guilty. 1t is a necessary consequence of verdicts of the character of this, where the evidence was all one way, and where, under the instructions of court, there was but one conclusion to be arrived at. The exhorbitant tolls of the Northern Pacific railroad, and discriminaticn in fa ver of certain elevators to the ruin of others have forced the farmers of North- ern Dakota and the Red River valley to combine for self preservasion and to se- oure by law a reasonable limit to the power of the monopoly. A convention of representative farmers was held at Fargo, February 21, to discuss measures of relief and form a compact force to fight for their rights. Among the reso- lutions were the following: First—We believe and advocato it to be the duty of American citizenship to uphold and defend the rights of the many against. the usurped vax oges of the fow. Second —That corporations are creatures of the legislature, and should be controlled by the state. ‘Third—That the right usurped by railroads to establish minimum capacity and kind of equipment of elevators is contrary to public policy, calculated to destroy independent com- potition in the grain market and should be abolished by the state. Fourth—An open market for the products-of our soil; liberal rates for transportation, based vpon the cost and risk of deliverance with a fair profit. Fitth—The enactment of laws prescribing heavy damages and severe ponalties for viola tion of the law governing common carriers, Sixth - More effecient laws governing the crime of Lribery and heavy penalties for the granting of free | asses, A memorial to congress was also pre- pared and will be torwarded to that body, with a copy of the schedule of freight rates of the Northern Pacific attached. The convention invites the co-operation of all organized Dodies engaged in a sim- ilar struggle in neighboring states and territories. e —— The Emmigration Outliook. Chicago Times, February 25th, John W. Romaine, of New York, im- migrant agent for the Erie railroad at Castle Garden, is at the Sherman, Mr. Romaine has been making a northwest- ern tour to ascertain the prospects for im- migrant business this spriug, and reports that they are not very encouraging. He says that the cause lies 1n the poor price of grain last year. Usuallyat this season the lines all do a good prepaid business. That is, settlers here buy tickets in Jan- uary and February, and send thom on to friends on the continent for use in March and April. There is little of this trade being done now, and he has reasons to fear that unless prices of grain rise during 1884, immigrant traftic will fall off about 16 per cont. This was the decrease last year over 1882, Another cause for a moderate business lies in good continent- al crops. Last year there were good crops in Germany and olsewhere, aud the peoplo remained at home, 1f the crops on the continent should bo only fair this spring and summer, traflic may piek up. Mr. Ramame says there is now little or no *‘assisted” emigrasion from Europe, which is owing doubtless to the steps taken on this side to prevent it —— i A Chicogo Cogkang Challenge, Special Dispateh to the @lobe-Demoorat.
