County Aid to Railroad.

some reason lncomprehensible
to us, is interposing obstacles to
the success of the Seattle and
Walla Walla Railroad, which, If
successful, would be to greater
advantage to Walla Walla than
any other public Improvement
that can be suggested. In re-
gard to the Act submitting to
the people the question OF .lssu-
ing county bonds to aid in the
construction of the railroad, the
Union says:
Take it all in all the bill bears mp
On its face the evidence Of having
been meant for buncombe and not
reality. No lawyer in the Territory
is willing to risk his reputation by
giving an opinion to the effect that
the bonds OF the counties issued to
pay for the stocks subscribed would
be worth the paper on which they
are printed, unless Congress granted
permission to issue them.
We are only surprised that a
lawyer of any respectable stand
ing sis willing to risk his repu-
tation by giving his opinion to
the effect that any Indebtedness
ola municipality, incurred under
a color of law, is not worth the
paper on which it is printed. =
We know that reputation of
public obligations has been at
tempted ON several occasions,
but it has never yet succeeded
but in covering its advocates
with infamy. No good lawyer
ever contended that the repudi-
ated Mississippi bonds were le-
gally issued; but all honorable
citizens insisted that they pre-
sented an equitable claim against
the State IN the hands Of innO-
cent holders. The regulators
were promptly retired to private
lite by popular vote.
The editor of the Union evil
dently thinks that because the
Federal governments is the source
from which he. draws his susie
nance, all the people Of the Ter
ritory are dependent upon the
same central power for their
rights to "life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness,' and that
they can exercise no govern
mental power "unless Congress
first granted PERMISSION" Can
he tell US whence Congress de-
rives its power to dictate in the
municipal affairs of Territorial
government?
The Organic Act of this Ter
ritory prohibits the Legislature
from creating public debt
That is undoubtedly binding up
on the Legislature the same as
like constitutional prohibition,
under which the most of the city
and county debts in the old
Northwest have been created
and confirmed by the highest
judicial authority. The Courts
do not favor reputation on prin-
ciple. Nearly a hundred thou
sand dollars of interest bearing
Territorial scrip has been afloat
in this Territory at a time, and
every dollar of 1t, principal and
interest, has been redeemed at
par, without asking the permis-
sion of Congress.
But should it be determined
by the Courts that the counties
had no right to issue these bonds
after the people had voted for
them, what harm would be done
by the vote? The endorsement
Of the project by majority of
the people of the Territory by a
declaration of their willingness
to devote a portion of their own
means to it's construction would
be of incalculable advantage in

If any unusual appearance of incoherence OF
distraction is evident in this department it is
to be attributed to heavy sense of duty in
connection with Senator Joness Report on
the Silver Question. How the editor of this
paper can sustain himself as financial au-
thority or political economist or a Numis-
matician without writing something of an ex-
haustive nature on that Report is what puz-
zles him To be sure the Senator has been
year or two, digging through the dust and
mold of forgotten books, ransacking old libra
ries, consulting men who are learned in every
thing relating to money matters, double stand
ards, usury, exchange, banking, debt, coinage,
relative and reciprocal values, commerce,
manufactures and arts, and innumerable other
things related to his pet subject, and thus fit
ter himself to deal with those questions as no
American statesman ever did before but all
this makes no difference. An editor is an edi-
tor 1t is his business to know everything
and he does know it. So the duty comes
upon this seer to decide upon Mr.. Jones Re-
port instanter. This duty is also felt by some
thousands of other dutiful scribes all over the
continent. Each of these will dispose of this
subject in the most peremptory and final man
ner. The great man who does the financial
poetry for the New York Tribune has already
done his duty. He has demolished Jones in
a half column of epitomized editorial profun-
dity. 1t will be the pleasure and privilege of |
the editorial head of the MORNING APPEAL to !
sustain this Report. He knows nothing in !
the world about it (much as it is his duty to |
know it ally; but he has duty to perform
and he means to do it, or, like Miss Emily
Pitts Stevens, perish in the attempt We
may postpone this effort until some day in
the underlined future; but the subject cannot
