BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.

II is evident that the most clear
sighted men in Oregon are becoming
satisfied of the hopelessness OF ever ex-
pecting to see .he Northern Pacific
Railroad built down the south side of
the Columbia TO Portland. The t.e-
mendous and futile outlay that it would
involve. iniudiciously, is sufficient to
render it nonsense and faulty to talk
about such a wild goose expectation.
The hard headed Ortgoaian man is too
discerning to commit himself to it.
We believe the Northern Pacific rail
road management will do just the right
thing on the main line, and the Seattle
and Wallis Walla Railroad Co. just the
right thing on the branch line, or
We tern arm of the great transconti-
mental undertaking. That is, that the
former company will concentrate their
means where it will do the most good
ON the section between the navigable
waters of the Missouri and Columbis,
50 as to develop to the best advantage
and 1T the earliest dav the resources OF
the great interior Territories of Mon
tAna, D.kota and Idaho. Our own
company will have clear opportunity.
il they will improve it vigorously, to
carry their road eastward from this
seaport so far this year, as to insure
Seattle ss the great outlet of this vast
volume Of commerce, which the North.
ern Pacific and other lines will develop
and gather up in the interior. 1t Is
only giving the Northern Pacific
directors credit for ordinary good sense.
to assume that they will not commit
the blunder of trying to make termi-
nus on Dor closed river, when close
by lies great open haven, free of
ingress and egress by day or by night,
winter or summer. while a. the same
time land-locked and sheltered for any
craft that floats which haven would at
all times menace their commerce, and
invite q competition which they could
not face.
Any shrewd business man seeks the
alliance of tho strong rather than to
challenge his antagonism. Therefore,
lot Seattle lay her ligature upon the
gap of the Cascades, by pushing her
narrow gauge line to the summit this
Summer, and treaty on tho part of
the Northern Pacific Company becomes
a Commercial necessity to them.
From Seattle to the Summit. the way
the road would run. would be sixty
miles We have twenty done. The
construction of the road bed the remain
ing forty could be accomplished with
two thousand dollars q mile raised.
With the road.b bed done. money could
be raised on il to purchase the iron.
The road already buih has secured
traffic enough in short time to repay
It's cost. The eighty or a hundred
thousand dollars necessary now. our
citizens are able and willing to raise.
The men who would shirk their quota
Of the burden would bo so few and far
between - to be objects of note.

The Democracy and the Florida Business.

The subject of the Florida investiga ton
came up in the meeting of the Democratic
campaign executive committee Friday night,
and the result OF discussion was that those
rushing pell-mell to have the investigation
ordered had better move slow. A Demo-
cratic Senator put the case in manner
which created a profound Impression,
''Now," said he, " there are not two Dem
ocrats in ten who desire to get Tilden in the
White House. What, then, will an investi-
CATION accomplish II an investigation is
solemnly ordered by the House of Repre-
sentatives. it must be for an object, more
than the mere fact of making campaign cap
ltal. 1t must be for result, and that re-
suit can only be il the Florida fraud is prov
en-, the taking of some steps to get Mr..
Hayes out of the White House. Now, if
the Democratic party enters into the matter
at all, it must be with purpose to overturn
the results of fraud, if the fraud be estab-
lished. 1t must if fraud IS proven, vitiate
that which has been accomplished by it, and
the inevitable end would be movement to
disturb President Hayes in his seat.o He
next analized the effect of such movement
in the way of party capital. He thought
that # the investigation is entered into, the
Republicans will take advantage of such a
proceeding to give out that, the Democratic
party is endeavoring to disturb the peace of
the country; to create revolution, and to
turn Hayes out and put Tilden in, when the
fact is that Tilden's own party don't want
him in the White House. Again, he thought
if an investigation was vigorously pressed it
would solidify the factions in the Republic
can party, and give cohesive strength to an
organization that the drift of events is fast
disintegrating. He said that while no sane
man would deny that Hayes got the votes OF
Florida and Louisiana through fraud, yet he
subsequently attained solid title to his Of
ficethrough bill which was passed by Dem
ocratic votes. AS an upshot OF this plain
talk, it was decided to restrain the Hotspurs
in the party, and the resolution for investi-
CATION which was to have been brought for
ward in the House on Monday will not be
offered.

THE TRANSIT or MERCURY.-The plan
ct Mercury passed between the earth and
sun, last Monday, from east to the west.
The transit commenced four minutes past
ten in the morning and was completed at
5:34 in the afternoon. These transits of
Mercury occur at intervals of three, seven
and ten years, the last one icing in 1868,
and the one before it in 1861. There is
regularity in the intervals between each,
but none in the transits themselves. The
transit Monday, or the ''transit of 1885,"
as it will be known in the future furnished
exceptional advantages for astronomical OBJ
servations. the passage of the planet be-
tween the earth and sun occupying as before
stated, the time from 1904 in the morning
until 5;35 in the afternoon, being the long,
est period of time so occupied in a hundred
years. The time usually occupied is only
about three hours. ,47lk llU-gTC
Observations were made at Washington.
and by the differ ent colleges and private es-
Establishments throughout the country, all of
which will be reported TO the National OBJ
servatory. Having had plenty of time. ex-
cellent weather and more than enough peo-
pie at work, the observations of Monday are
expected to determine the exact position of
of the Mercury in relation to the sun and
earth, the exact dia meter of Mercury which
is not now well known, and the motion of
Mercury IN its orbit around the sun. The
superstition that the calculation of the tran \
sit will aid in ascertaining more definitely
the distance from the earth to the sun is err 4
roneous. What it is expected to ascertain
will, it is thought,also decide the correctness
of the LIE Verrier's theory, that there is an
other planet between Mercury and the sun.
In one of his calculations that astronomer
concluded that there were certain Irregular
tiles in the motion of Mercury, which he
to have been due to the presence
of some other disturbing body intervening
between it and the sun. Once twas thought \
that his suppositioi had been verified, and
this disturbing body was called Vulcan,
lie Verrier thought lie might
be mistaken, and inclined somewhat to the
opinion of other astronomers that mistake
IN his figures had caused what he asorihed
to Irregularities in Mercury's motion. lie
never. however, wholly abandoned his idea
hat there is an intervening planet. This
theory will be verified or disproved by Mon
la US observation. and the result is one Of |
treat interest to the astronomical world.

RESPONDENT of the Baltimore Sun says:
The latest scheme for taking money out
of The treasury is to be run on the same kind
of tactics as that which was used in the riv-
er and harbor bill. This last scheme is a
collection of appropriations for public bull
dihgs in various parts of the country, aggre-
eating the magnificent sum OF $57 1000, 900.
Two millions Of dollars is put down for
new custom house at New York. At the
same time 100000 is conceded for new
POST office at Baltimore, and so on, the idea
being to make the bill acceptable to men,
hrs generally by providing for buildings in
their localities. If there is an assurance that
the necessary votes can be obtained motion
will be made to put the bill on its passage
under suspension of the rules, as was done
with the river and harbor bill.
Now is the time for our representative to
present the claims Of Staunton for an appro-
priation for public buildings. If any Sec
ton of the country is entitled to the bene-
fits of tine scheme, it is this, not only be-
cause it has never been a beneficiary, but
for the reason that the interests of the gov
ernment demand it. In pressing our claims,
Mr.. Harris will not only faithfully represent
the views of his constituency, but also aid
in securing what is justly due his State and
section. The people of the district expect
him to act in this matter with his usual
and vigor.
