DEMOCRATIC QuARREL.--G. Folsom, of Iowa
City, is out in the Iowa Capital Reporter, with
a long reply 10 the Veto Message of Gov. Hemp
stead to the last Legislature. 1t seems that Fol
som and his father procured the passage of an act
by the Legislature allowing them to build bridge
across the Iowa river at Iowa City and collect
tolls for twenty years The bill did not receive
tho sanction of the Governor, on the ground that
it created corporation, and granted certain spe-
cial and exclusive privileges contrary to the lam
guage and spirit Of the constitution. Consequent
" he vetoed it. To this veto message Folsom
now makes areply, arguing constitutional rcstric-
tons and democratic policy, in manner far too
learned and elaborate for us to read during this
hot weather. 1t is democratic quarrel any how,
and we have nothing to do with it, except TO
wish them ssgood speed,' and to hope they may
make very pretty quarrel out of it before they
arc done.

SlRfi lSi Qll
Total

This is Forty millions more than the whole for
eisn export trade of the United States. III uie
commerce of our great rivers was added TO tins,
the a,-pregate would be swelled to an amount in
comparison with which our foreign exports would
appear insignificant.
This is the commerce too, that requires no as
sstance from the Gen'l Government. To faclll-
tate it by appropriations to improve harbors and
clear ont Instructions from rivers, is according
to the modern democratic doctrine, unconsttu-
tonal. What though such appropriations are
general and national in their oblects-though they
'"proyi,le for the common defence AMI promote
the general welfare yet as they are under the
ban of the party, and prescribed BY the adhercnts
of the Baltimore platform, ii is treason to advo-
cate them. Millions are spent every year on OBJ
iects less important; the public money is scat
tered profusely the sea coast, on harbors hight
houses and other improvements, but as so,n as
we reach the fresh water Of our noble rivers and
lakes, the purse strings are drawn tight: and we
are favored with long homilies on constitutional
law and public economy.
If the west were only united, it will have the
strength from the elections under the new appor-
t,onment TO dictate its own terms with regard to
such appropriations. But the difficulty has been
with aspirants for the Presidency and their
friends in the West, who for the sake of securing
Southern votes sacrifice the interests of the west
to paramount claims Of party consistency and po-
htical expediency. May all such time servers
meet their due reward!

The Madison and Indianapolis Railroad is now
yielding an extraordinary profit. 1t has already
paid seventy-five per cent, on its cost, and Is
now doing business that will again pay I,s en-
tire cost in four years. The freight now offered
is more than it can carry.
The public can judge from the above what will
be the probability of the stock in the railroad
from Peoria TO Burlington proving profitable
The Indiana road possesses no advantages that
the Peoria road will not have as soon as it is
completed. Comparing the population and pro-
auctions of the country along the routes, and at
the termini Of the two roads, any impartial OBJ
server must be convinced that our road will do as
much business, and pay quite as good dividend
on the cost Extended eastward from Blooming
ton to Lafayette, Indiana, il will connect with
the Lafayette and Indianapolis road, and from
thence the traveller may go by railroad either TO
Columbus, Cincinnati or Madison.

lotdt tdAdUtc %~,o"S,''"
The above figures present some facts worthy
of consideration In the first place, ii shows an
increase of population in this county since last
year, Of 1900 persons. This is no doubt the re-
suit Of the large emigration of last fall and this
spring. In this increase, our city has largely par
ticipated !; the new boundary has no doubt brot
into the city part of this additional population,
but we may safely reckon that the legitimate in
crease over the returns Of the deputy marshall, is
from three to four hundred persons. This is COLI
firmed too, by the fact of the scarcity of houses
for rent in the city. Every dwelling is occupied.
and as fast as new ones are completed they find
tenants waiting and ready to move in.
The average valuation Of land per acre in the
county is s. 81. This includes of course only
the entered land. There is, we believe, guam
tity of land in the northern and western portion of
the county not yet entered. Wepresume the val
lie fixed is high enough; we have, however no
means at our command whereby TO compare it
with the valuation Of former years or of other
counties.
II will be further seen that the value Of the per-
sonal property is only about one fifth of the real
property. WIN all Tie iegisiauoh We nave hau
upon the subject, and with the great increase of
special objects of taxation, the legislature have
not succeeded (unless in the new code just taking
cTect) in passing a law under which the assess
ors are able TO list for taxation the actual amount
Of personal property Of the county. Under the
new code, the provisions of which in relation to
taxation noticed few days ago, we think the
assessment Of personal property for next year will
shew large increase. 1t seems to us under ITS
stringent provisions, that the legislature intended
to include every thing for taxation, at home or
abroad, on land or water. If the people of Iowa
do not frd out after while what taxation is, it
will not be the fault of the law makers.

Oregon.

DR. Dart the Superintendent Of Indian affairs
for Oregon, writes home to the editor of the Wa
tertown, Owls, Chronicle, some interesting par
tculars in relation to matters and things in Ore
gon.
Treaties ha- soeen made with four bands of H.
dians, by which nearly all the lands in the Wal
lamette valley are ceded to the United States
Ex-Gov. Lane, it is said will be elected to Con-
gress in place Of s. r. Thurston, decd.
Oregon is overstocked with lawyers and pro-
fessional men generally. Laborers Of all kinds
are wanted: common hands command three dol
lars day, (without board,) and mechanics five
to eight dollars. There are about five males 10
each female in the Territory. Merchandise of
all kinds is said to have fallen more than fifty
per cent, in the last eight months. This is ow
ing to the large shipments from the Atlantic Cit
les and from San Francisco. The population Is
only little over thirteen thousand, scattered over
large extent Of country, and needing very few
goods. The klamet mines are said to be produce
ing from TO II dollars per day for each laborer.
Products of the country bear a good price,
wheat $500; oats $3.50; potatoes 200; butter
60c. TO LOG; cheese Soc; beef 15c.; pork 1sc.;
milk cows $40 TO $50. Building materials, lex
cept hardware are high; Oregon lumber $50 to
$50 per M.--castern white pine SIO0-brlck s 10
per M.
The U. S. troops have all been withdrawn from
Oregon, and the Superintendent travels over
country to visit Indian tribes, where the foot of
the white man never trod without any military
escort, and with no other company than his sec
rotary, Interpreter, muleteers, &C.
