The election in California is so

AS one of the evidences that Alas.
ks is coming to the front and being
gradually recognized in the import
ance of her great natural wealth, we
will quote from an exchange: "A
railroad to Alaska may seem an
anomaly but the time is coming soon
when such an institution would be a
paying one. Indeed many cool.
headed capitalists have been giving
the problem some attention and al
ready one or two companies have
been chartered by the State of Ore
gon, with permission TO extend lines
10 the Territory, should they see fit.
Coal, iron, lumber and minerals exist
in abundance along all possible
routes to Sitks, and there is no man
who can tell what the markets of the
world may demand in the future"

tine LESSON.

The lesson of the recent national
election may be briefly summed up.
Four years ago there was genuine
sympathy in the land, for the demo
cratic party. This sympathy gave
them majority in both branches OF
Congress and very nearly placed
Tilden in the presidential chair. All
seemed smooth sailing to absolute
power for them, and the leaders in
the South became naughty and arro'
CANT. From whining snivellers
about being prosecuted because OF
their "mistakes" in rebelling against
national authority, they were sud
denly transformed into defiant advo-
Gates OF the principles Of the war
for the rebellion which they declared
still lived and would be vindicated.
Yes, they would "wips out every
vestige of war legislation" They
would achieve by the ballot what
they failed to accomplish with the
bullet. They would "vrdicate the
sacred principles of State sovereign
ty." They would stimulate their
constituents to renewed exertions
by urging them to "consider the no
BILE principles that Lee and jackson
fought for" etc., etc. The loyal re-
publicans of the north became
alarmed. They we're not afraid OF
the northern democrats who were as
a rule staunch Union men; but they
recognized the fact that should the
democratic party obtain control OF
the government the policy of that
party would be controlled by its
bOutucTl lcducTS WueT6 llo C0uLeT vi
power lay. During the recent pres
idential campaign there was much
complaint among dem ocrsts about
republicans "waving the bloody
Shirt" but this complaint was
groundIess, because the rebel lead
ers of democracy had themselves
forced the old war issues upon the
people. The gauntlet was taken up,
and right nobly was the battle won.
AS Gen. GARFIELD has tersely said
since his election as our President,
this contest teaches, 1st, that the
people OF the United States are de-
termined to bury rebellion, slavery
and State sovereignty beyond resur
rection; I'd, that they are unwilling
to narrow the sphere of American
politics to the range OF personal vii.

GovERSoR Newell is fairly in.
stalled as the chief executive Of
