WrrH what wonderful complaceucy
the Portland Standard alludes to the
"small towns On the Sound" which
it afirms are "puffed up with the
Importance of anticipated railroad
connection" when everybody knows
that the Willard scheme was the
woodchuck which Portland had to
secure to keep her from making pro-
gress like q cows tail-downwards.
Even now there is great danger that
she will be drowned out by freshets
or covered up by sand-bars before a
decade passes, and in the meantime
Puget Sound will witness the growth
of the Imperial City of the West.
Mark the prediction.

II seems quite probable that tha
increased activity of Chinese inmi-
grafton will precipitate Consresson-
al action soon as the pending treat
les are ratified by the Emperor. 1t
seems that there are now three
agencies in China contracting for la
borers. ID. o. Mills has an agent
there who asks for 5000 men to
work on the Canadian Pacific rail
way. Another agent wants 1900
laborers for railroad grading in
Mexico. The third agent asks for
5000 men for the plantations OF the
Hawaiian islands. The Northern
Pacific has no agent in China. but
the company's agent in San Francis
CO is picking up squads of men
wherever he can and shipping 200
or 300 hands TO Oregon every week,
and this drain will of course be sup
piled by fresh recruits from the
Flowery Kingdom. Instead of an
abatement of the curse, it is quite
evident that the necessity for re-
strictive measures will this season be
presented in shape which will de.
mand the immediate attention of the
Government.

The H.triliycnccr We admit has Lad
but very little to say about the late
struggle Il two great railroad cor
porations for supremacy, contest
in which our people felt vital in

sratuitous fling it bestows upon It's
neighbors who have exercised the
privilege of citizenship TO form and
express opinions upon subjects which
affect the public welfare. We pre-
sumo reference was mado especially

the possible triumph of the Oregon
Railway Co. as a misfortune to Puget
Sound; but we have yet to see an
article in any of the up-Sound papers
which has " abused Mr.. Willard I'M
necessarily or abused him at oil, for
that matter. Mr.. Wizards business
plans were not calculated to benefit
Washington Territory, primarily,
and it was but natural that popular
sympathy should grasitate towards
the Northern Pacific Company,
which never had any other idea than
that of making Puget Sound the
grand terminus of trans-continent-
al route. 1t was entitled to our best
sympathies and for tho reason that
Mr.. Wizards plans were inimioal to
this object, we hoped and prayed
that he would not succeed IL max
the project for great national high
way the tail to his Portland kite.
But good wishes do not always bring
success, nor or the most fervent
petitions always answered in pre-
cissly the manner We hope they will
be; so we are not much disappointed
at the delay which will intervene
before the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Co. needs o wider field for
its operations and transfers its main
business to the Sound, where " no
pent-up Utica can contract its pow
ers.
There may have been some sharp
passages at arms between the Ore
gonia, and the Ledger which savored
somewhat of personality, in the adj
vocacy of their respective interests,
; but this was to have been expected
unless we endow mortals with more
wisdom than fall to the common lot
of humanity, Aside from this-so
far at least as the newspapers are
concerned-there has been no DIS
position shown to "abuse" any
body.
