OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EVEG, MARCH17, 1SS:
A Few Words of Sympathy.

mant if he failed to synpathize with
our Portland neighbors at this juno
ture of affairs in their history. at
last they are compelled to acknowl-
edge every claim of superiority made
by Puget Sound as channel for the
commerce Of the great Northwest,
and to resort to the most humilating
experiments for inducing the peo-
pie to make superhumap efforts, for
retaining, a short time, the position
for Portland as the center of trade
of the northern coast. Their hui
initiation is complete, and commands
our sympathy, though we may not
forget the means hitherto used to
bolster up the business which has
made Portland Q thriving city, des-
pite the unfavorable contrast pre-
sented by the Columbia river, with
its many obstruction to navigation
and the open roadstead OF our
Incompatible Puget Sound.
When Mayor Thompson started
for Washington. to aid in lobbying
a bill for national aid, and got stuck
on Columbia bar, we all felt like
laughing, it is true; and when he
returned with the statement that the
bar was an obstacle which even our
mighty Government hesitated to
grapple with, we could scarcely
repress a feeling of citation that the
backbone of opposition to our Ter
ritoral interests had received vio-
lent wrench which would enfeeble
it's efforts for further harm; but we
did not then realize how near deaths
door the body of the sufferer would
be brought by the terrible ordeal
We now know it. We now witness
intense anguish, and the past ii
forgotten. We forgive Our Webfoo
brethren for naming Puget Sound
fir, "Oregon Pine," for the tear o
sympathy dims the eye to mino
transgressions. We blot out tn
recollection that all the salmon
caught and packed at the cannerie
in our Territory were claimed as al
Oregon export, for manifestation o
intense suffering leaves no room TO
malice. We even dismiss the ever
obtruding thought of the injustice
practiced in times past of claimin:
the immense wheat yield of Easter
Washington as an Oregon product
because spirit Of magnanimity pos
sesses us, melted by the exhibition
Of profound grief.
Nobody pauses to inquire wha
would be the course OF our Oregon
neighbors were the circumstance
and conditions reversed. Alas! W
know too we'll what to expect fron
them, by review of the past. W
know how they have supplements

From this it will be seen that the
Republican States gain seventeen,
but lose three, making net gain OF
fourteen. The Democratic States
gain fifteen and lose none. The
gains in New York and California
being of doubtful party complexion
are not credited to either side. 1t
was claimed by Republicans prior to
the taking of'the late censes that the
South would lose considerably, but
that proves to have been so consid-
cradle O mistake as to show how
little was known in some quarters
of the progress going on in the
South. It turns out that that sec.
ton has gained fifteen Representa-
lives, whilst New England has lost
three.
There will now be 153 electoral
votes in the South, which will have to
be supplemented by forty.eight votes
from the North to enaLle the Dem.
ocrats to elect. New York and New
Jersey added to any other State
would suffice. Nevada, California,
Indiana and Connecticut are always
liable to go Democratic. By any
calculation by which the Democrats
could triumph without New York,
the whole schedule would have to be
recast. Ohio and Indiana would
have to be gained, and any change
of public opinion that would carry
both those States would be likely te
give us Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon
and Colorado, and possibly Other
States. Such changes are pretty
sure to occur sooner or later, anc
they may take place sooner thar
some people imagine. In any even
q Democratic candidate who cal
carry New York can win.

John III. Rauch, supervisor at Springfield,

10, 500 immigrants arrived in that district,
of whom 2, 9I5 were vaccinsted or revacci-
mated by inspectors. 1t is stated that there
has been very general improvement in in
spections and vaccinations on shipbosrd
since the beginning of the service. The
distressing epidemic of smallpox in west
ern cities in the past few years is traced to
infection by immigrants, and against the
evil the national board of health is eff

desperate deeds of violence her Irish sub

the queen consented to be present at the

fixed upon route which would enable her
to get there and back in the shortest posi-
