road company, but the vacillating tenn
porizinS manner in which the whole ar
engagements have from the first been
conducted have given good cause for
suspicion that all has not been fair and
honorable.-Echo.
Real estate will doubtless assume q
fictitious value, and legitimate business
will be cast aside for that species of
speculative mania which has infested
all new railroad towns in the great
West. Our advice to those of our cit
liens who enjoy fair means of gaining
a livelihood would be to stay at home,
and not hunt after any terminus, since
they are already located at the chief
termini of all the railroads that will yet
belt this part of the continent. Our
own sad experiences in the matter of
fictitious values for real estate has
shown us that railroads alone cannot
impart value beyond the commercial
requirements which they create, and
hence we conclude that five years hence
lots can be purchased in the new ter
minus city for less money than on the
day on which it is located.-Oregonian.
Now that Tacoma has got the termi-
nus, the interesting question that pre-
sents itself for solution, is What is it
going to do with it It will be utterly
impossible for it, even with the COOP
Grafton of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, to monopolize the bus
mess of the road, as the terminus of o
railroad connecting with anywhere else
than Puget Sound would. For a frac-
tional part of the value of the subsidies
given by Tacoma for the empty name
of terminus, either and all of the other
towns can build branch road to con-
meet with the main track and secure
their share of its business. Tacoma has
evidently paid dear price for its whis-
tle.-,Sdn Francisco Bulletin.
For several months the excitement
may be expected to last. It would be
cruel, no doubt, to dash anybody's
hopes of sudden fortune: but it may as
we'll be predicted that good many
people who are now running wild on
this subject are doomed to certain dis
appointment. Nor is this disappoint-
ment remote. A year or two after the
terminus is established people will be-
gin to wonder if they have not been
specializing in a lottery and drawn
blanks.-POHland Bulletin.

JUDGE NoT.-The editor of the Stella
COON Express has not exhibited his usu-
al good sense by abiding in terms of
dlsparagement to nearly the entire press
OF the Territory, simply because it does
not agree with him on railroad matters.
He will, we think, on second thought
admit that it neither digni6ed nor gen.
tlemanly to call names, or attempt to
telittle those who have uttered only
friendly words for the Express and
entertained but the kindest sentiments
for its protector.

The TERMINUS ALREADY UNDER A CLOUD.
"A prominent citizen we learn reports
that in the course of conversation with
Judge Rice, few days ago, the Judge
admitted that the location at Tacoma
does not preclude the company from
selecting any other point for the final
terminus of the Northern Pacific Rail.
road, and that he was not certain but
that another location would be made at
some future time. If this view is en-
tertained by the company and its agents,
Justice requires that it should be made
known to the public.

A COOP SUGGEsr1oN.-The Statesman
suggests the restoration OF Major Gran
vile O. Halter, victim of Stanton's
malevolence, to the. military service-a
service to which he has consecrated the
best years of his life. We cordially con-
cur in the suggestion, and believe that it
would be q graceful act for the President
to order the restoration of his name to
the Army Register.

How IT WAS BROUGHT ABouT.-The
Seattle Dispatch gives in detail some in
teresting particulars relating to the ter
minus location, obtained as it afirms
from a reliable source. They are to the
effect that in March last, when the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company was
without money or credit, few Pacific
Coast capitalists proposed to purchase
100000 of the company's bonds at
par, upon condition that they should
have the naming of the terminal point
on the Sound. The proposition led to
compromise with the land ring and
the result-Tacoma.

ANT1-CInNEsE AssocIATIoN.-People's
Protective Alliance is the name of an
organization spreading in Oregon to
stop the importation of Cinnamon to
that State. The pledge of membership
is to discourage by all lawful means the
immigration of Chinese, to not employ
Cinnamon in any capacity, or patronize
those who do, or vote for any candidate
for Office, who will not pledge himself
to support these principles and use all
means in his power for the abrogation
of the treaty with China, by which Chi
nese are admitted upon the terms of
the most favored nations. Several Pri-
maries have been organized, and State
Council, consisting of the officers of
the Primaries. A petition is being cir
culated by the organization addressed
to the President and Senate of the
United States praying the relief sought
in the object of the association.
