WHAT Mn. EvARrs THINKs.-A Now
York World reporterinterviewsd Mr.. VIM.
NJ. Evarts, the great lawyer - to the
Graut-Sumuer embroglio, and thus tells
it:
Reporter-Do you consider this action
of the Executive highly injurious to the
prospects Of the Republican party?
Mr.. Evarts-I have but one word to
say on that subject. The party that can
present nothing noticeable to the public
excerpts its quarrels cannot long expect to
maintain the confidence of the people.
Reporter-What is the feeling among
leading Republicans.
Mr.. Evarts-It is one of decided regret
that the man in public life to whom in
great degree the political fortunes Of
the party are committed cannot better
control himself and consider those in
terests.

sasacity or public spirit Of its business
men that gave Portland this advance; but
it was done almost in spite Of these, BY
making the town 4 railroad commencement;
the same cause which made kalama spring
y from the wilderness into the proportions
Of commercial centre, as if by magic.
Like causes produce like effects everywhere,
and that man reasons With little judgment
who concludes that these sudden exhala.
tions are permanent facts, not to be affected
by future events. 1t will be recollccted
that not less than a dozen towns we're
started on the line Of the Union and Cen.
trail Pacific Railroad while in the process
of construction, and that some of these
towns accumulated populations Of many
thousands, and town lots were bought and
sold at prices equal to present Portland
prices. When the railroad passed on the
business and populations Of these towns
went with it to the next stopping place,
until brought up at the fual terminus. So
will Portland enjoy the principal benefits
Of the railroad until it passes on to its final
terminus where it unites with the ocean
commerce and thus forms great CONNER
cial centre to which both ocean and land
are tributary. The Portlandcrs in the
meantime may drown all argument BY the
out,ry Of "Great is Diana of the Ephe.
sians," but without avail to turn or check
the inevitable current Of events. What
Ben. Holiday has done for Portland with
the control Of few millions of dollars cx-
pended on local branch road, is only an
index Of what the Northern Pacific Rail.
road may do in building up commercial
centre at their terminus on Puget Sound
with hundred fold resources, with a road
embracing the continent and uniting the
two oceans upon the shortest and most
direct route to command the commerce of
the world. When this road is completed
the chief boast of Portland will be that she
is within few hours travel of the great
commercial centre, and her principal bu-
siness men can supply their customers
with peanuts and oranges fresh from the
Sandwich Islands by the way Of Puget
Sound.

us that the citizens Of that place have con.

work, and repay the people Of Tumwater

Since the close of the Franco Prussian

power to decide. and until they come here

place which combines the most natural
advantages for terminus freely express
their opinions, but nothing that has yet

upon and made known by the 4th OF July
