4 A CANDID ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The
Seattle I''teliigencer thus comments on
the recent California election: i" The
result may just now be attributed to
other causes than any change of politi-
cal sentiment on the part of the people
there; but however that may be, the
purposes of the once great party that
has been occupying back seat for the
past fourteen years, with the exception
Of brief interval, will now be sub
served by its reinstatement into power,
and its maintenance of it for an indefin-
ite period as in ante-bellum times.
This will not be the only consequence
as California may now be regarded not
only as lost to the Republican party in
the next Presidential contest, but its
example and influence will contribute
largely to the loss Of every electoral vote
upon this coast" I aa am

PuRsuIT AND POSSESSION. 1t will be
remembered how anxious the people Of
Walla-walla were to have railroad
and how literally they paid for the To-
cation of tho terminus in their city. II
appears from the Union that they have
been the victims of misplaced confd-
ence. The prices paid for freight are
found to be exorbitant, and a league
has been effected between the Transfers
and other business men by which they
literally agree to " freeze OUT the rail-
road company in the matter of exorbi-
tant charges. The way the Onion places
it, their action is amply justified. 1t
says: "The cost is now as much to ship
wheat 80 miles by wagon and rail, as it
is to send it from Wallula to Port
land, yet We have long complained of
the Oregon Steam Navigation Company,
but when We compare the 30 miles by
the one line and $50 miles by the other
it is not difficult to see where our great
est oppression lies"

day OF October, 1875, the withdrawal OF
all tracts Or parcels of land from sale

A REGRETTED CHANGE. The Western
Union Telegraph Company have trans
ferred Miss Coates to their Tacoma Of
fee, giving the position vacated here
to Mr.. Ed. Stevens. Now Ed. is O
good operator and an accommodating
business man, one saif0aa We would. Ge-
joice to see prosper; but still we re-
greet to see the change made. Miss
Coates is an excellent operator, having
had charge for several years Of large
Offices East which employed from eight
to ten experienced telegraphers on as
many different lines and connections.
She has ever been prompt and faithful
in the discharge of her duty, and in
business relations aside from the social
circle, she will be missed by the whole
community. May happiness and pros
perity attend her wherever she may
find an abiding place. 3aaaib Y!ha5 3

A WONDERFUL NATURAL Gnr. PROF.
A. E. Rice was announced to have Civ
en-. one of his remarkable exhibitions
last evening, but as the time selected
was later hour than that when we
went to press, we cannot speak from
personal observation of his magic pow
ers. A letter from Rey.. T. A. Wood
of Portland, says that the Professor is
the greatest wonder of the age; that he
can give the name, age and nationality
of any person, lead him TO any object
on which he fixes his mind--in fact
can read the mind as readily as o print
ed page. Incredible as this may ap-
pear, the Professor has created q sensa-
ton wherever he has exhibited his
wonderful powers. Z.

THE SPECIAL TAX.

The Board of Trustees have given
notice by poster that an election will
be held within the corporate limits next
Thursday, the 23d inst, to obtain the
views of the people with reference to
levying 6 special tax of two and one
half mills for wharf purposes. The
proposition is a good one, if the Board
mus now go by the rule of three, al
though few weeks ago it manifested
anything but a disposition to consult
the wishes of the people on this sub
ject. In fact, it expressly ignored the
petition of citizens representing ct least
four-ffths of the property valuation Of
the town, and mounted hobby which
DR.. Rice had carefully groomed with
all the art of which he is master and all
at once pranced out before their en-
raptured vision. Like the British man
of-war's men, when sent into the wilds
Of Carriboo to capture a refractory Yam
kee, who piled them with all manner of
convivial drinks and sent them home
decidedly "sprung," they came to the
conclusion that Rice was Dooced
good fellaw, you know!' Once mounted,
the dignity manifested for short time
was in marked contrast with their de-
pertinent now, when they are forced to
admit that they might just as we'll have
located their town-lot speculation on
the sunny side Of. the moon as where
they did, so far as practical results are
concerned.
But it is never too late to mend, al
though we fear that it will soon be too
late in the season to build wharves to
advantage, or too late to avail ourselves
of the uitouscircumstances by which
We have been surrounded regarding
ocean lines of steam communication.
We are in favor of the tax uncondition-
ally-like the boy after the wood chuck
--as the only means of obtaining meat
We care not whether the wharf goes
down the West Side, the East Side,
both sides or the middle, so that it goes
and don't get stuck in the mud. It
may be built in any shape or form, so
that ii is built. And we trust that
everybody will meet the issue with q
like determination to ignore minor ques-
tons, and aid by his vote rital public
enterprise.
The difference in trade if one of the
steamships lines visits our town will be
Immediately apparent, a benefit real and
tangible. 1t will make demand for
several hundred cords of wood each
month, several beeves and other mar
ket supplies, several hundred pounds
of butter, several hundred dozen oil
eggs, and several hundred dollars worth
of other supplies each trip. Those who
have commodities to ship, such as hoop.
poles. wool. shingles, water-pipe o,
wooden ware, will be able to place
their articles in an inexhaustable mar
ket at moderate expense for single
freightage. The impetus that will bt
at once given to trade, will revive pop.
ular confidence and lead to general
effort to throw off the sluggish spell
which has bound us. Soon az prooress
begins, each step will be easier, until
new era of prosperity dawns upon oul
beautiful town.

THE EFFECTS OF Low FARES.

The price for passage between thv
place and Victoria, now that the oppo-
sition is at an end, is 81, less than one
half the rate charged by the anderson
and Olympia, before the North Pacific
came on the Sound. The present
charges, it must be admitted are rea-
sonable and just. Still we occasion
ally find man wearing long-drawn
visage of woe, because now the travel
will not he SO large and consequently
business will decline. 1t is quite plain
that anybody using this argument has
not arrived at his conclusion by the
somewhat slow but sure process Of rea-
son. If he had he would have ascer-
tanned that when fares are low many
people travel who do not 60 when fares
are high. He would have probably at
the same time made the discovery that
Victoria merchants can sell many de-
scriptions- of dress goods at q lower
price than they can be bought here.
Then it would not require but small
additional effort of the brain to discover
just what has been going on for the
past seven months transfer Of por-
ton of the retail business of every town
on the Sound to Victoria, sending our
money abroad never to return, and i'm
poverishing o community like this,
which depends upon its own barter and
trade, without a foreign market, for
support. 1t may be urged that the
amount thus diverted from home traffic
has not been large, but let the frequent
cy of the trips and the large throng of
passengers be taken into account, and
reasonable estimate made of the prob
able amount expended for necessaries
and indulgences, and the aggregate
will by no means amount to a con-
temptible sum. The same result was
noted when the Ne,c World and Hunt
were engaged in their prolonged tussle
with the doughty little anderson.
" Hard Times" was the universal CRY
until the little champion walked off
with one of her formidable rivals under
each arm.
Now instead of mourning because We
can't witness the game of cut-throat
continued indefinitely by rival steam
boat owners, we are heartily glad that
the warfare has come to an end. We
want every man to demand and re-
ceive reasonable compensation for any
service he may perform. On this prin-
ciple alone can community be pros
porous or happy. d..
