[Olympia Tr4nscript.''l
The merited rebuke which the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company has re-
ceiyed ut the hands of the people, if the
last vote may be judged as the result of
their feelings, should teach the lesson that
the rights Of community cannot be
trampIed upon with impunity. 1t has
trodden Oh the rights of the people until
the latter have no ontitlence in it nor its
promises. The last attempt to get its ne
hrous plans bolstered up by an endorse
ment from the people has totally failed,
and it stands to-day in the attitude of
hostility to the best interests of the Terri
tory. The principal objects appear to have
been to have the vote Of the Territory en-
dOrse its demand tor an unlimited extern
sion of time, for building the railroad,
and to defeat the peoples desire for the
Territory to become a state. On both Of
these questions it has lost the day, and it
should learn something from the lesson.
The PEOPLE of the Territory desire rail-
road across che Cascades. but they see lit
tie prospects of its being built by the
Northern Pacific while that company de-
mands an unlimited length OF time for its
construction. It's hostility to the con-
stitution, and its failure to relinquish
lands withdrawn, all show the same
treachcrous line of policy which has been
followed since the company first set foot
in the Territory. And unless the com
pany soon acts more honestly and fairly
than iT has done, it need never expect
much aid from the people OF the new
no thwest.

received from Virginia, are all to the
same general tenor that the mine is
looking well. Ore in the cross cut
on the =, 100 foot level hardly aver
ages as good as expected; but on
the 1900 foot level, far exceeds an
ticipations in every respect. One
dispatch states that the cross cut had
penetrated the ore body, and had
gone at first into barren rock and
again into ore, which is explained
by saying that the first ore struck
was rich place in the cap rock
which was mistaken for the true ore

ANOTHER LESSON.

Under the above and like excep
tions, that political chameleon, the
"Press," has lately given the world a
medley of strange statements. Be
fore the election il lauded Mr.. Cation
as the "pEopLE's man." in opposition
to corporate power; it now claims a
portion Of the credit in defeating
him AS the candidate of monopolies
, and rings. 1t is free to say, "now
that the election is over," that it
knew all the time he would be de
feated, &c. Now, if it Knew all this
and was that fearless and honest eX.
ponent of Democratic principles
which it pretended to be, why did 1T
publish his name at the head OF its
editorial columns as its choice for the
Delegateship ? There is but one
conclusion, viz: that it assumed a
hypocrit;cal position in the matter
It's nominal editor attended the Dem
ocratic Territorial Convention and
there gave his word, we are informed,
that he "wOuld not do anything
AGAINST Mr.. Haller, if the latter were
nominated for Prosecuting Attor-
ney." 1t subsequently opposed him
in its usual style. One of its spokes-
men approached Mr.. HalIer, during
the canvass, with II PROPOSITION that
it would support him for twenty five
dollars 1--WE can PROVE what we say
and since election it claims that nc
was the party making the propos'-
tion. 1t also claims that the ARGUS
lost the Prosecuting Attorney in this
district when it knows full well that
all we did was mere y to see that
HalIer got Justice, by showing up
the cowardly and treacherous action
of the "Prcss" towards him. We
endorsed Mr.. Ballard as the regular
Republican nominee, although we
were honest enough to publish our
information regarding his alleged
purchase of the "Press" influence.
If he or that paper, either one, can
satisfactorily clear up the matter, we
will be most highly gratifed to pub.
lish the rews. What we did for Mr..
Haller was done in the face of a
strong probability of his defeat, and
was merely because we could not
bear to see him so shameEully used.
The "Press" also says in substance
that Mr.. Cation was the choice Of the
Federal officials in Olympia and Port
Townsend, and that Mr., Brents was
and is their enemy. This too i'll the
face of the fact that the officials here
stood squarely by Mr.. Brents, and
that at Olympia Gov. Ferry made
one of the ablcs. speeches of the
campaign in his favor. Truly the
capacity of that paper for changing
its positions, and for Justification, is
unexceIled in all the history Of dc
ceitful and disreputable journalism.
