INCONSISTENCY,

The New York Herald has been
greatly exercised Of late months over the
silver question. 1t has favored about all
the new tangled ideas proposed. espe.
cially the putting Of more silver in the
standard dollar, and it demands the ex.
tinction of the Bland Act. In its issue
of last Sunday it combats the fact tina,
there is q growing increase in the circula'
ton of silver and at the same time shows
an objectionable inconsistency aud a love
for rag money. as follows: sin this pari
Of the world everybody knows that tht
sudden increase in the circulation of sill
yer is caused by the Treasury's with
drawal from circulation Of notes below
the denomination of five dollars and tn,

everybody concerned is grumbling-th,

From the foregoing it is evident tina

1t was announced very recently among
the telegraph news in the SENTINEL that
orders had been issued for the resump.
ton Of work on the California and Ore
gon railroad, with a view to the speedy
completion of the line to a junction with
the Oregon and California. The extern
sion to be completed by the California
and Oregon is about l25 miles in length.
and the work of construction will be
costly. But the completion of the road
becomes a necessity, not only to the peo-
pie Of California and Oregon but to the
Central Pacific. 1t is stated that the
Northern Pacific has been diverting Ore.
gon trade from the Central so that the
northern extension is needed by the lat.
ter to maintain She volume of its traffic.
Speaking Of the good news, the Saora-
mento Bee says: Whatever may be the
reasons that have caused the company to
proceed with the construction, the news
is q pleasing surprise to the people all
along the line. Sacramento has special
reason to rejoice. The resumption Of
railroad building will Immediately i'm
prove business in this city. The railroad
shops will employ a much larger force Of
men, and there will at once spring up an
active demand for supplies, nearly ell Of
which will be sent for ward from Sacra.
mento. Every branch of trade here will
feel the stimulus of the activity in rail.
road circles. These are but the imme-
diate benefits. The actual competition
OF the road will increase the benefits re.
ceived by Sacramento. It will open a
new field of enterprise for our merchants.
The agricultural and mineral products of
the region developed by the road will
come to this market, and in return
Sacramento will supply the machinery,
manufactures and imported goods. The
trade Of the new towns along the line
must center here. This new road will
surely prove . good thing for the capital
city. No one can estimate the full
