THE LATE ELECTIONS.

On last Tuesday state elections
were held in New York, New Jersey,
Virginia, Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Missis-
sippi. The returns at the present
are not sufficiently definite to show
what the result is, or rather what
changes will be in the result. The
DISPATCHES would indicate that Mass.
and Connecticut have an increased
republican majority, but these states
were always right. In New York
doubtful state-no correct conclu-
sions can be arrived at, though the
indications are favorable to the dem
ocracy. In Virginia there seems to
be very strong probability that the
readjusters have carried the state bv
a good majority. In Minnesota the
democrats hope to elect the state
treasurer, but their hopes are not
very we'll founded. In Wisconsin the
democrats claim large gains but not
sufficient to elect any of their ticket.
Mississippi will be democratic.

PORTLAND TO Be DUG OUT

The Dalles Mountaineer, of the 5th
inst, says: Hon. M. G. George, OF
Portland, our representative to
Congress, was requested to meet the
citizens of that city, and take part
in the discussions of plans presented
for the clearing of distractions In
the Columbia river. This meeting
took place Monday evening, in the
rooms of the board of trade. Mr..
George gave his views of the matter,
based upon his previous investiga-
tions of existing difficulties, indica-
ting right to demand represen.
tation upon the Committee of Com
merce at Washington. The report
OF the meeting does not indicate any
reference to the movement of Eastern
Oregon, towards a like effort in
favor of the work at the Cascades.
We are sorry to be so easily forgotten
and we wonder if the cargo of wheat
taken by the Dakota, at New
Tacoma. was referred to at that
meeting. Eastern Oregon is begin
ming to realize that it must fight it's
own battle, or stand but small chance
in the generation. We can be relied
upon for sound sympathy with Port
land in her out-ofthe-way location,
and the Objectionable practice Of the
Willamette and Columbia rivers in
filing up the ship channels from
year to year. But we also want our
Portland friends to remember that
the settlers of the two river valleys
are their feeders, and if one.auarter
of the value Of the settlers products
are to be demanded to- transports
them to market 100 miles, and then
list of onerous charges are to be
added, which of course are eventually
deducted from the earnings of pro.

Considerable interest has been
shown on both sides in the case of
the City Of Corvallis VS.. Carlisle.
We do not intend here to discuss the
merits or demerits of the case, but
We have heard the jury severely crit
-isised, particular fault being found
because they were nearly all church
members and of course prejudiced
against the case. Now this appears
to he begging the question. No fault
was found with them before trial;
besides all juries being sworn to, de-
eide according to law and evidence,
it is not reasonable to suppose that
church members are more likely to
violate their oath than other men.
Neither are they lacking in irtelli-
gence or common sense. Hence to
claim that defendant lost his case be-
cause the jury was composed of
church members, is equal to claiming
that men Of other sentiments would
have given him the case contrary to
law and evidence. II justice can no
longer be obtained at the hands OF
men ofintegrity or good morals who
are not afraid to proclaim those prin-
c,ples, we ought to have reform at
once. But the masses will hardly
believe that We can have come to
this state yet.

THE PEOPLE MUST Be vlolLAnT,

THE PEOPLE MUST BE VlGlLANT,
The "East OregoEian of Nov. 4,
published at Pendleton, speaks az
follows:
"Mr. Willard proposes extending
his network of roads through all
sections of this northwest country.
If the people stand up for their rights
from the inception of these operations
we have no fear for the future, but if
they sleep on their rights their day OF
awakening will be one of sad reality.
A vine which climbs the sturdy oak
for support seems harmless in its in
fancy and excites little apprehension
Of future injury; but as it grows it
extends It's tendrils TO all the limbs
and branches of the tree and tighten
ing its grasp with increasing age and
strength finally strangles its support
in the clutches of its deathlike en-
brace. Just SO with this great rail
road monopoly-the people must
keep it's fangs from their throats
while its infancy allows of a success
ful competition. The example pre-
sented by California-ruled today
by the Union Pacific managers with
a tyrany more oppressive than that
of the Roman emperors--should be
warning to all free countries to steer
clear of such tate. The hands of
the U. r. 81 N. Co., are upon this
country now and it is Tightening its
grasp with every setting sun.
We do not desire to excite any
factious agitation of the people as
against the railroad. We despise
communism and everything that
smacks of it. But we do warn the
men of Oregon not to be deceived by
"gilded stories" these promises NAV
be like whited sepulchres, fair to look
upon and of imposing appearance
but inside full of dead mems bones.
All is not gold that glitters.
Mr.. Vlllaed has recently made
magnificent donations to our state
University-we have no ground upon
which to directly impugn his motives
but we are suspicious of them. Judge
Deadly is one of the regents of the
University and through him these
gifts have been made-Judge Deady
presides over the District Court of
the United States-the 0. r. & Co.
has frequent suits in that tribunal
Mr.. VlllarSs gifts surely will not
prejudice the court against him. We
do not claim that this is his object
but leave that for every man to de-
termine for himself. We only sug-
gest the thought, but if in doing that
we do Juustice to disintercsted liber-
ality we shall be sorry for it. AS to
the company Mr.. Willard represents,
however, we Go say that we believe
it is not honest in its professions and
dealings. Its enormous tariff rates
on freight are an oppressive burden
to the people. We are told that it
is only short while that we will
have to submit to them, that the
company is pressed for means to con-
struct its works. And yet the COM
pany is paying dividend to-day to
its stockholders and is running the
most extravagant corps of surplus
employees in the United States.
Men of Oregon, watch this compa-
ny. Guard your rights with jealous
care or when you do wake to the
situation you will find yourselves in
hopeless bondage.

Same charges outward bound.


No extra insurance or risk on ships
crossing the Columbia bar are here
in included.
Producers of wheat and other grain
for market may now see what Ii
unjustly forced from their earnings
to fillsthe pockets of the middle-man
at Portland.
The Statesman's article further rep
rescnts that, on account of the less
cost for ship to load; discharge and
reload on the Sound; and the less
risk attending, ensures wheat of first
class quality to be worth as much at
the Sound as at San Francisco. Ac-
cepting this as fact, and examining
the price current Of wheat at San
Francisco Oct. 26th, it will be fonud
that the difference in itssprice at that
port and Portland, Oregon, is 20
cents per central, good profit upon
production. But upon this we who
live east of the mountains, must sub
nit not ouly to shipment 10 Portland
and to the extra charges mentioned
above, but to a rate of freight for
this hundred miles between Portland
and the Dalles more than three times
as great as from st. Louis to New
Orleans, i distance OF 1900 miles.
Our people can see by these facts,
and Judge for themselves whether
the present movement to obtain an
increase of appropriations by the
Government, to hasten the opening
of the locks at the Cascades, calls for
their prompt and earnest attention
or not.
There can be but little satisfaction
in working hard throughout the
wear, submitting to the. vicissitudes
OF the elements, and chances for suc-
cess, to have the profits of the years
struggle eaten up in getting the
product to an Improbable and, for
our Columbia farmers, and unnatural
market, up the Willamette river at
Portland. We have a good country,
@,sd good home is offered to many a
poor man upon its millions OF grain
producing acres within a short dis
tance of navigable waters, yet we are
practically. no better off for this CON
tiguity TO deep water than if we were
two thousand miles away from it
Dalles Mountaineer.
The evident policy ofMr. Willard
and his associates is to prevent the
opening of of the Columbia river.
They have death grip on Eastern
Oregon, as well as the Willamette
valley, and intend to keep it, if they
can. But it is the intention of the
managers of the Oregon Pacific
Railroad TO have the line in operation
from Yaquina bay to the Columbia
river within two years, if possible
and feet of steam barges to trans
port wheat to its warehouses upon
the; banks of that stream. This is
the enterprise that will relieve the
people of Eastern Oregon from the
the extoriions of. monopoly, and
enablesthem to have something left
after gettiDgsthe years products to
market

We have been informed of the

Walla Walla grain at New Tacoma,
and were awaiting all account of the
experiment from our correspondent
when we found it clearly represented

been upon the spot, and learned from
Captain Gilkey, of the Dakota, all the
facts, which our people must be ready
to accept as PRESENT. NC wedge at
the vulnerable point in the great
bulk of our disadvantages. Captain
Gilkey, having discharged cargo OF
railroad iron at New Tacoma, inves-
tigsted with some care the cost OF
taking his ship to Portland for an
outward cargo, not including the
chances of delay each day, which
with large ship could not be less
than 500.
