MEXICO is in her chronic condition, that
of revolt against the existing powers. 1t is
useless to expect change until such time as
the peninsulsr republic can be absorbed by
the United States, but such absorption can
not safely occur until the Democratic party
shall have attained to power.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY VS.. TONNAGE.

L NO.
In commenting on Col. T. E.
Hogg's letter Dec. 4, the Oregonid's
says seriously this subject has Civ
en- rise to more controversy then
there is any possible occasion for"
Is that SO !? In the daily of December
II, we find that there is 900 tons
of wheat waiting shipment; that
South America and Australia gave no
hope of vessels, and that the ques-
tion resolved itself into this problem.
Shippers mast send their grain to
San francisco, and there reship to
Europe, or offer such an a0oance on
charter rates IN San francisco as
aoM attract yessets steeriug there to
fcon,e here" Is not this an argument
for another shipping point, even if it
had to be done by steam, it could be
done cheaper from Yaquina than
Portland. But commenting further
on Col. Hogg's letter. the Oregonia1s
says, "Let this absurd notion be
dropped that this (the Oregon Pa
cific Railroad) is the great enterprise
destined to swallow up the commerce
Of Oregon ard close all other chan
nels." Who is talking now, and bat
Ting against legitimate enterprise?
In that paper of the Sd we find,
" owing to fear of the lower river clos
ing, the Edwin Reed, Che last foreign
vessel in port, is loading day and
night" Since this the river has
closed, fitting rebuke to those who
publicly announced their mten-
ton to exclusively control" the
mighty river of the west. Natures
channel is closed and trade inter-
Irupted," converging lines of
railroad, making it more So" it is
a matter Of consolation to know that
the Yaquina Bay has never been
closed with ice, in fact, residence
of seventeen years brings no in
stance to my mind of even float ice
in the bay. The Oregosia,a is COM
mendably urging action with regard
to improvement of the Columbia
River-no one except a person in
fiuenced by unworthy prejudice could
wish to see any channel of commerce
obstructed for want of government
aid, much less oneof snch Importance
as the Columbia River. This is a
very serious business, no time to
|quibble about what particular city is
going to be injured, if any, but lend
all possible aid to such undertaking
as will advance the State gener-
ally.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1880-12-17

hoped to see the bay made seaport.
We look in vain for any hint of sug-
gestions of easy Improvement which
would form the most interesting
and important part of any such re-
port. But that would have supplied
the friends as well as the enemies of
the Yaquina with hope, therefore, We
look in vain.
Then comes the insertion of Col.
Hogg's answer, but with it appears
the editorial of the Oregonia,a, inn
puting.to Colonel Hogg ideas he new
er uttered and plans too ridiculous
for serious comment.
Next in the little drama
is the Washington dispatch
calling the eastern Oregon
wagon road a fraud and attacking
it's title to the lands. Then, when
this is denied, and is answered iD
such terms as to carry. conviction to
candid mind, the Oregorio'a in its
leading article suggests that they are
mindful of the fact that considerable
part of the lands can hardly be re.
garded as worth much-though it is
on their security, g with the tide
lands round Yaqnina Bay. that an
effort has been made to raise loan
of ss,5oo,Ooo to- build the Oregon
Pacific Railroad"
And lastly, there is the article in
which all the adverse comment OF the
Oregonias on the villainous republi-
cation in New York of garbled
copy Of; Examiners review, as if it
had emanated from the Oregonian
itself, is to ascribe tie lying state
ment that but sl3, 900 had been Civ.
en- for 800, 900 acres of land to an err
ror in telegraphing; with the mild
comment, that eff the article was to
be republished as coming from the
Oregoniaaa, we would have preferred
that it had been given with accu-
racy."
But the Otsgomian will congratu-
"late the people of Corvallis and OF
"the upper valley upon the success
"of the enterprise,
One tiny drop of syrup to all that
burning acid. A small mercy to be
thankful for. We shall not forget
to be thankful for it when payday
comes round.

RIALTo.

It has been generally known in
San Francisco that leprosy prevailed
to certain extent among the Chi
nese of that city. But beyond this
the public have had but little knowl
edge and slight curiosity, therefore.
the statement made to a Chronicle
reporter by DR.: James Murphy, Of
St. Mary's hospital, comes with
strange effect. The Doctor says
that within a comparatively short
time past as many as sixteen white
persons, of both sexes, have made
application at the hospital or at
private Office for relief from this hor
rible sconrge. Many of the cases
were as bad as they could be, and all
were incurable. At the present time
it is not known exactly where the
afflicted persons are, as they have
gone to different places in the state
bnt that the majority of them are
not far from San Francisco is very
certain. They came from the Sand.
wlch Islands: and were allowed un
restricted entrance as there is no law
against the landing of iepers. The
sixteen cases which have come under
Doctor Murphy g observation NAV OF
may not include all, but it is consid.
cred very probable that there are
others.

GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY

Mura! Hsls:esd Throws Little Light on
the Subject, Coupled With a Denial and
Explanation.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-In view of the news
paper charges that Mr.. Halstead, of the Com
mercial, had started the story that Gen.
Grants friends had arranged to withdraw
his name as candidate for the Presidency,
Mr.Haistead said there is wide difference be-
tween that statement and the statement that
Grant will not be contestant for the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Halstead says he is called upon
to confirm report said to be traced to him,
that he said that Geo. w. Childs told him he
had letter from Gen. Grant declining to be
candidate for the Presidency, There is no
question of yeracity between Mr.. Hal
stead and Mr.. Childs, for Mr.. Childs
never said anything, of this sort,
and Mr.. Hslstead never Said that he did. MIR.
Halstead says further that he was informed
in Philadelphia that there would be author
ity for it that Grant wasn't a candidate and
must not be pressed to the contest as such,
that the authorization would be distinct, the
declaration decisive and made in good time.
He hasn't understood that this statement
has been denied, while good deal of
trouble has been taken within few days to
deny something that hasn't been charged.
