New YORK. July 11.-At the New York
exchange the market opened 3 lower for
some stocks and Is to g higher for others.
The bulls, who for some days past have
been in control of the room, put on steam
again this morning and rushed prices up for
the Vanderbilts, West Shore and Erie bonds,
while the Changers and Lackawanna meekly
occupied back seat During the morning
West Shore bonds reached 3915. Erie sec
onds 55, Lake Shore 591S. New
York Central S9%, and Western
Union 63. On tn other hand Northwest

quotations; St. Paul heavy around 73, with
but little doing; Union Pacific only varied

Pacific Mail appeared TO be entirely neg
lected. AS an illustration of the hollow
character of this boom it was stated that
in 1877 Lake Shore sold at 40. with no COM
petitor and only $50. 600. coo of bonded debt.
while now it is nearly go, with the Nickel
Plate on its back and an additional debt of
SO, 600, 600. But what are facts and fig
ures to those wall street gamblers? Light,
airy nothings, to be used or not as

The earnings of the Northwestern for
the first week in July increased SD. 200.
By the new arrangement Western Union
practically guarantees per cent. on the
American Rapid telegraph bonds, which
will be an additional burden rather than a
helm. Northwestern offers TO redeem, on
presentation. those of its bonds which
come due on Aug. 1. Cammack was
said to be nothing but getting ready TO sell.
Vanderbilt refuses to say anything about
his road. but Philadelphia parties say that a
settlement of the late difficulties is certainly
being arranged. Gould says the market is
advancing naturally, which is the biggest
one he has told in a long while, as
Missouri Pacific gained point to-day
under his direct leadership. AT the end
the market was almost wild. Everything

market that prices rapidly declined. August

took an upward turn, and the closing was

also was lively in stocks and moderate in

Money rates remain unchanged.

nominal than actual, as transactions are not
numerous and those which are made are
governed largely by circumstances and col

Mr.. Voorhees, i'm Olympia.

Delegate Voorhees, arrived unan-
nounced Wednesday evening, and
was received at the depot by nun
Der of our citizens, in an informal
manner. The Democratic Central
Committee had procured rooms for
him at Youn2's Hotel, where Thurs
day he received large numbers of his
constituents, who waited on him
mainly to prefer petitions for various
public objects. Last evening, pub
lie reception was held i'll Columbia
Hall, which was opened by thirty
minutes speech of the talented re
preventative of tue people. HIS re-
marks were in the main GU forfeiture,
the prominent plank of the platform
on which he was elected. He Is
quite as firm i'll its support now as be
was Iii the campaign last November.
We 60 not blame hmm. He would
lie al inglate who would destroy the
bridge which carried hun over. The
news bad j, st been received That The
Tacoma directorate Of the Northeln
Pacific Railroad Co. had been re-
elected, and this, of course, was wa
ter on his wheel, as it will proloDg
the forfeiture issue. Had the op.
position gained control, doubtless
another barbecue would have been
held at Seattle and the plank would
have broken in two.
Mr.. Voorhees, is bold and outspo.
ken in his sentiments. This we ad
mire in him, though we may not
agree with some Of his ideas. We
believe him to be a Democrat. He
says he is. If he were not, the
same candor, which is his strongest
characteristic, would impel him to
declare it. He dates the birth of
Democracy from Jefferson in 1880.
That is the style of talk which
sooths the spirits of men who have
been waiting SO patiently for re.
turn OF the pristine simplicity of
the founders of the government the
past twenty years. The principle,
recognizing the power of the masses
as opposed to Capitalization, applied
to the Government in the old time,
ne now adapts to corporations. re-
garding them as unmitigated evils,
without which, political and social
life would be vastly improved. He
does not recognize any possibility
that good many result from their la
bors, although the Democratic plat
form two years ago, declared that
they were" of use to the people"
1t is probably best that our Dele
gate should be bold and earnest in
this matter. 1t may guaranty of
zeal in other affairs and to subserve
higher interes' s. We have always adj
mired the hypelbole of the Indian
chief, who bousted that he stood SO
straigh the leaned backwards. The
persistence of Mr.. Voorhees, may ac-
compl.sh much good for the Territory
IN tue way OF securing appropriations
for meritoiious objects.

Give us Facts.

The Courier, while complimenting
the Sunday Oregonian for it's valu-
able contributions to pioneer history
in series of articles devoted to early
"reminiscences, calls attention of the
compiler it some inaccuracies which
it would have been very easy to dis
cover and reject. An instance is
cited, of the statement that a man in
going from Oregon 10 California in
1913, being attacked by Indians,
killed five of them with a revolver.
The anachronism is apparent to older
people who remember the appear.

to justify belief that it would have
taken 500 of them to kill an Indian,

the result of accident than design.
1t is not a more serious blunder,
however, than was made by Tom
Wood few years ago when he kept
the Oregon Museum, on Stark street,
Portland. One of his most interest

Although Tom was a pious man,
and a man of infinite meekness; u
man slow to anger and with a soul

human Kindness; the language used
when he discovered that Chief of
Police Lappeus had "rung in the

write history must deal with facts.
