VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1881.
Many of the papers on this coast are

Many of the papers on this coast are
starting in to oppose Mr.. Viii
lard's enterprise in the o. r. & n.
Co.'S and Northern Pacific roads, on
the ground that they are monopolies.
Both newspapers and correspondents
would do well to go slow on this point
as it is not yet demonstrated that I'M
finished roads are already become
grinding monopolies. Let the roads
reap fair reward for their outlay of
capital, so long as no oppression of
the people is apparent. But it is not
out of place to say right here that the
people should keep watch that Mr..
Wizards railroads stick to their legit-
innate business, which is railroading.
They should not interfere with the
Columbia river, which is highway
belonging to the people alone, and
which must be left to them for pro-
lection in the future. The locks, and
navigation, which is no part of rail-
reading, must be left free to all. The
Willamette Farmer says: OF course
we all watch with jealousy the pro-
gress of Mr.. Wizards enterprises, and
producers have natural fear that a
combination so powerful will be intol-
Grant, but so far there is little reason
for complaint, and in his speeches
made on the Sound and elsewhere,
since his late arrival, Mr.. Willard
talks freely of all matters and makes
handsome promises and liberal treat
ment. He was not obliged to talk of
these matters as he has, and his an
nouncement of his intended policy
has more force because it is so entire
ly voluntary. Some faith may be put
in man who pursues bold policy
and promises so fairly, more especially
since it is only common sense to rec
ognize, as he plainly does, that unless
the people prosper the railroads can
not do so. If Mr.. Willard carries out
his freely given pledges there will be
no reasonable cause forcomplaint, and
if he fails to do so and pursues an op-
pressive policy, then the anti-monop-
oily views of the people will certainly
be asserted, but We can afford to wait
and see.

There is plenty trouble on hand in
Ireland A few days since Parnell
and the land league issued an order to
tenants throughout Ireland to pay no
more rents. The result is that the
English government is arresting the
leaguers, having declared their or
ganizationj seditious and REASONABLE.
One step more on the part of the
leaguers will probably give the gov
eminent the opportunity to drench
the land in blood, and render the Irish
in Ireland more helpless than ever.
They have the whole power and wealth
of England against them.

Henry Willard and his party met
the representative business men of
Portland on Saturday, and made there
a speech, in which he extolled Port
land, and partly unfolded his plan of
action for the future, he promised and
predicted great things for Portland,
which predictions are the more likely
to be true as Mr.. Willard expects to
profit largely by their fulfiilment.
But he will still ship wheat by way of
Puget Sound il he can do it cheaper
than by way of Portland.
