AscENr.oF MOUNT RAINIER-We regret
the necessity-for want of room-of defer
ing till next week the publication of the
conclusion Of the interesting narrative
of the ascent of Mount Rainier by Gen.
Hazard Stevens and p. b. Van Trump,
Esq. This is the first time known of the
ascent Of Mount Rainier to its summit by
any human being, and considering the
toll and peril attending it, the enterprising
gentlemen who accomplished it honorably
achieved the distinguished consideration
Of all who honor courageous daring exhib-
tied in the peaceful pursuits of science and
general knowledge. 1t required no less
true heroism to scale the ovcrhanging cliffs
and slippery glaciers of Mount Rainier,
than to undertake the discovery of the
Arctic passage or the source of the Nile
The toll in the latter cases was of longer
duration, but the personal peril was no
more imminent. OF the three who at.
tempted the ascent, one failed by the way.
one is yet confined to his room from the
effects Of fall of forty feet among the
rocks, and one only-Gen. Stcvcns-es-
capped personal catastrophe. The narra-
tive of their adventure will form an hon.
orable chapter in the history of the Terri

Senatorial Contest in Oregon.


Having recently come from Oregon, We
arc frequently asked the question, "Who
will be SENATOR" This is a question as
difficult to answer as it is to tell where
will be the terminus Of the Northern Pa.
cifc Railroad If the fitness Of things
were to determine in either case, we might
form some reasonable judgment. upon the
subject, but it is an unfortunate tendency
Of the times that all matters of public in.
terest, in politics as we'll as commerce. are
deferred more to private than public inter-
ests. During the late political canvass in
Oregon, but two candidates for Senator
were named, James X. Kelly by the Dem
ocrats, aud George II. Williams by the
Republicans. So far as the popular vote
could determine the question, the decision
was in favor of the former; but it is by no
means certain that the wishes of the peo-
pie will be regarded, Notwithstanding the
theory of popular rule. 1t is not ques-
toned by any that large majority of the
Democratic members of the Legislature
favor the election of Col. Kelly, and if the
uniform usages Of the party arc adhered
to, he will receive the caucus nomination
on the first ballot, and be entitled to the
election by the law and precedents which
have ever governed Democratic party Or
gauization, and the violation of which has
ever been held as breach of party fidelity.
Notwithstanding the unnlistakable indi-
cations Of the will Of very large majority
of the Democratic party, the defeat of Col.
Kelly is confidently counted upon not only
by the Republicans but by other aspirants
for the Office in the Democratic party
men who are willing to destroy the party
organization with the almost certain con.
sequence of future defeat, for the purpose
of promoting their own personal schemes
Of ambition. 1t is believed that number
ofmembers sufficient to make majority of
the Legislature when united with the Re.
publican members, will refuse to 20 into
caucus or be bound BY the caucus uomina.
ton, the purpose Of which is to defeat Col.
Kelly and leave the field open to bargain
aud corruption. This is the scheme of
Mr.. Holiday and his friends to secure by
bribery Senator devoted to his interests
without regard to his party affiliations, and
will be supported by the Republican men,
bers for the purpose of demoralizing the
Democratic party. With Democratic
majority Of seventeen on joint ballot, it
seems hardly credible that a sufficient
number could be found to bctray their
constituents and their party for consid-
Grafton, but it may be; party politics is
fearfully corrupt in Oregon. Very few
politicians depend upon personal merit
alone for either nominations or elections to
public Offices, or care much for politics be.
yond its personal rewards.
EDITORIAL IGNORANCE.-The Rosburc

Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1870-09-10


EDITORIAL IGNORANCE.-The Rosburc
Ensign, one Of the most Radical of the
Radical papers in Oregon, in assailing the
character of Representative Smith, betrays
the ignorance of its editer as follows:
Joe Smith the Representative, who has
done nothing since he has been in Washing
ton but send few of his choice seeds to
some of the old women, now that he has a
chance to be of service to the people who elect
ed him, takes upon himself to defeat the bill in
the House, and with the aid of another Demo-
cratic Senator from this State, Fitch, and
other Democratic blockheads, ne may sue
ceed."
There is probably no intelligent school
boy in the State who does not know that
Oregon has now no Democratic Senator,
and that Fitch is Radical member of the
House from Nevada; yet this man, so pro.
foundly ignorant of the primary organiza-
ton of his own Government, assumes the
position Of a popular teacher of political
principles. Of this kind are the most zeal.
Gus partisans made, making upi zeal what
they lack in knowledge, and supplying
their want of education from the dialect Of
the fish-mongers. Hence the "Oregou
style" of Journalism, which has attained
such bad eminence. Personal vituperatiou
and.. partisan bigotry are the sure indications
ofignorance united with impudence. "a
want Of decency is a want Of sense"

Union between British Columbia and
the Dominion Of Canada.

We have before US an official copy Of the
articles Of agreement between the Govern
ment Of the Dominion Of Canada and the
Commissioners appointed BY British Co
lumbia, as basis Of Union. Canada as.
sumcs the public debt Of British Columbia,
and grants an annual subsidy Of s35, 900
and 80 cents per head Of its population,
for the support of its government and leg
islaturc. British Columbia will be enti-
tied to be represented in the Senate by
three members and by six members in the
House of Commons. Among the other
articles which are of interest to US on the
border, are the following:
"The Dominion will provide an efficient
mail service fortnightly, by steam communca-
ton, between Victoria and San Francisco, and
twice week between Victoria and Olympia );
the vessels to be adapted for the conveyance Of
freight and passengers.
"Canada will assume and defray the charges
for the following services Salary Of the Lieu.
tenant Governor; salaries and allowances OF
the Judges of the Supreme Court and the coun-
ty or district courts (; the charges in respect
to the Department of Customs, the postal and
telcgraphic services, protection and encour-
agcment of fisheries, provision for the militia,
lighthouse, buoys and beacons, shipwrecked
crows, quarantine and marine hospitals, includ-
ing marine hospital at Victoria, the geologi-
cal survey, the penitsntiary, and such further
charges as or may be allowed to the other
provinces
"The Government of the Dominion under
takes to secure the commencement simutan
ousy, within two years of the date of the I'm
ion, Of the construction of a railway from the
Pacific towards the Rocky Mountains, and
from such point rs may be selected, east Of the
Rocky Mountains, towards the Pacific, to con-
meet the seaboard Of British Columba with the
railway system Of Canada, and further, to Sc
cure the completion Of such railway with
in ten years from the date of the Union.
" The Dominion Government shall guaran-
tee the interest for ten years from the date of
the completion Of the works, at the rate of
hve per centum per annum, on such sum, not
exceeding 100000 sterling, as may be re-
quired for the establishment of frst-class
Craving Dock at Esquimat."
If there was ever any hope Of the an
nexation of British Columbia to the Uni
ted States-for which we never believed
there was any foundation-this arrange.
ment entirely destroys it. British Column
bia, backed by Canada, now becomes for
midable rival for the commercial suprema-
cy upon the Northern Pacific coast, which
cannot but rebound to the advantage of
our section, as it will bring to our aid
more material power and greater energy in
the prosecution of the Northern Pacific
road, and in building up the commercial
interests at its terminus, than would have
been put forth without this rivalry. "Com.
petition is the life OF trade"
