The Creyonian called tl.is book Ignorant

to distort and twist the meaning of page

following critics in papers of recognized
standing in our country may be set OF
tains the following:
In 1877 Mr. Wallis Nash went to Oregon,
and wrote subsequently a short account OF
his trip. which, in view of the increasing
emigration from England, was reviewed at
wanted to know if Mir. Nash were willing
10 try for his own part emigration to a
country of which he had so much that was
! favorable to say. Spared by this, he emf
grated with a small party of English people,
and we new have one OF the best reports
that have been appearing of late years re-
garfling desirable places-f0r settlers. Many
Of the chapters enter into the minute de-
tails which only will interest those intending
to settle, but his descriptions of political
and social life i'll Oregon, his accounts of
Indians. hunting and fisheries, his descrip-
tiDns of country characters, raise the book
very far above the ordinary mark There is
no conceaiment that the book takes favor
that there is little no exa2geration used
to color the picture. Mr.. Nash seems to
have guarded himself against oxerpraise,
and III so doing has done wisely. 1t is in
teresting to the political economist and the
American voter to see how American sys-
TENS of education and politics work in
rough and ready community like that of
Oregon, which has to deal with all the
questions of the day il "a crude fashion.
The Legislature is beset with lobbyists,
woman suffragists, crack Drained theory
mongers, cliques of railway promoters, and
the rest of the ills that Legislatures fall heir
to. The look, actions, and common talk of
the Oregon farmer are reported with care
fulness; one learns how society in the towns
revolves aud gets glimpse of sociables,
sabbath schools, colleges, newspaper offices.
One of the first places described is the Land
Office, and naturally one Of the first sys-
TENS the location of the settlers land. Now
and then we get good bit of description
from MIR Nash:

Men and Measures.

Long observation has brought us
TO the settled conviction that there
exists wide difference between the
masses who compose the Republican
and Democratic organizations, as to
their fealty to party leaders. The
former seems to do but little think
ing for themselves on political ques-
tions, and are always ready to follow
the behest of those who dictate the
policy and name the candidates of
their party. The latter are seldom
committed TO the support of either
policy orcandidates not fully in &C.

pie. mother words, Democrats are
welded 10 the principles of their
party, MT to its leaders. An evil
dence ofthis fact was shown in the
result a the unfortunate Greeley
campaign, and we have a converse
illustration of the correctness of what
is here stated, in the election of Til
den TO tie Presidency 1876. The
leaders ofithe Democratic party al
ways fail when they attempt to carry
the masses who compose the organi.

The Compromise Railroad Reg.
ulntiOn Bill.

II is not improbable that a kind Of
compromise measure for the various
railroad regulation bills pending in
Congress, providing for the appoint.

session.

presenting a bill for a railroad com.
mission somewhat similar to the Tar.
if Commission bill, except that the
commissioners hold their office for
five years, and are paid a salary Of
81 800 each.
The Commissioners to be appoint.
ed will collect testimony in regard to
high rates, overcharges, and discrim.
nations, and submit them TO Con-
gress, and collect facts in regard to
the roads, by which Congress may be
enabled to legislate intelligibly. 1t
provides that any and either Of the
Commissioners shall have power, in
any investigation, to summon wit.
nesses, administer oaths, take test.
mony, and direct the production Of
books, papers and contracts relating
to the subject of complaint; and
Judges Of the United States District
and Circuit Courts are directed, eth.
er in or out of term, to compel the
attendance of witnesses before the
Commission. The bill provides that
the board shall have power to call on
the common carriers for reports of all
rates and charges, and shall report to
Congress all cases of excessive rates,
charges and determinations that may
come within its knowledge.
1t will be much more accept, BILE to
the railroad folks than any such

any authority over the corporations,

The Americon Register asks the fol-
lowing pointed question, and answers
1t in terms no less to the point:
Is there vitality and vigor enough
left in the Democracy to recuperate
under the ISLANDERS and abuse heaped
upon it by the myrmidons of power?
This is q pertinent inquiry just now.
One of the subtle devices Of the enc
mics of Democracy is to say that the
Democratic party Is dead, or it has
not life and vigor sufficient TO recover.
And weak-kneed and disaf1ected
Democrats give ear to this shallow
artifce, 1t is true that the Democ-
racy has been kept out of power a
long time. But that has been by
trick, stratagem, fraud and usurpa-
ton BY the party in power. But n
good cause, involving the welfare
and liberties of the people, is never
to be given up on account Of defeat.
Summer soldiers and sunshine pa.
triots will falter and blunder and de.
sert in an emergency. But the true
patriot and philanthropist will die
in the last ditch before he will sur.
render to the enemies both of the
people and their liberties. The pro,
gress and development Of free insti.
tutions have had to pass over long,
rough and bloody road, and against
the opposition Of i'll gotten power,
and chicanery and fraud Of unhal-
lowed ambition, resisting it at every
step.
The Democracy lie the party Of the
people. The term itself signifies a
government of the people. Those
who want the reign Of one man, or
of a few over many, will of course
oppose it in every shape and form,
and by every device, fair or foul
But truth and right must finally pre-.
vail, aud then the faithful will have
their reward, not only in honors just
ly due them but inNthe approval Of
good conscience in great cause,
worth more than all the offices, hon.
ors and emoluments Of the govern.
