O.egonian's Washington cores.
pondence: The blame for the failure
to become law of the bill forfeiting
the Northern Pacific land grant from
i Wallula to Portland should he placed
where it belongs, on the house of
representatives. The insincere action
of the house, as regards this particu-
lar bill at least, has been so apparent
from the beginning of the session
that 1t has been an easy matter to
divine the motives that have governed
its actions. To make political capital
1T was held back until the eleventh
hour of the session, and then a widely
radical measure was, with the aid of
whip and spur, rushed through the
house. As usual, this body then ap-
pointed conference committee of
three members to act with like
committee appointed by the senate.
Immediately after the appointment
of the senate committee, Senator
Dolph, who was named as the chair
man of the committee, sent word to
the house members advising q con-
ference at once in order that If possi-
bic an agreement could be rea he'd
and some measure become a law this
session. These members came as
reluctantly and slowly as the average
school boy to his books. When a
conference was held the house com.
mittee insisted on a forfeiture of all
lands west of Bismarck, while the
senate committee would accept no
more than forfeiture of the line be
tween Wallula and Portland and the
uncompleted line of the Cascade
branch. The result was disagree
ment, and the measure goes over to
the next session. 1t is not under dis
cussion here whether or not the rail-
road company should be deprived of
the lands on the uncompleted line of
the Cascade branch, but it is peril
nent to restate what has before been
stated In these letters that the demo
cratic members of the house commit
tee on public lands could not more
etfectually aid the company if they
were its paid attorneys. The result
will now be that before the bill can
be passed next session the company
will have completed at least the
greater part Of the Cascade branch,
and will therefore become entitled to
the land grant. while the injured
settlers between Wallula and Port
land must continue their weeping
and wailing for months to come.
They ought to stop their weeping and
wailing. They ought to grit their
teeth, ought to gnash them hard,
ought, Is possible, to show to the
party that SO long chuched them un-
der the chin and lovingly patted their
cheek that by its broken promises it
has forfeited their support 1t was
thought that all the democracy cared |
to do in this matter was to pass in
the house O radical forfeiture meas |

The quarrel between Tilden and
John Kelly began in the failure of
Governor Tilden to designate sin
gle Tammany Hall man as member
b2r of the municipal commission ap-
pointed in 1875 to devise a charter
for the government of cities of the
state. Other slight neglects of Tam
many interest in the early stages of
TIlden's executive career, are also
understood to have estranged the
two men. 1t is further given out
that AIr. Tilden meant to bring out a
colorado breach with Tammany as
soon as he could after taking posses
sion of the gubernatorial chair. The
willy statesman had his eye on the
presidency from the moment that he
heard the news of his election over
Dix by the magnificent majority of
$4,000 votes. Tilden had used Tam
many to secure the nomination for
governor. Now that his hopes took
a national turn, and knowing of the
peculiar feelings of suspicion with
which the whole country viewed the
organization, Governor TiIden prob
ably considered it an excellent move
on the political chess board to array
himself partially against wigwam
rule and wigwam dictatorship. The
bait evidently took, and everybody
saw that Tammany's opposition to
Tilden at the St. Louis National con
vention of 1876 tended much toward
his success in being made the presi
Dental standard bearer OF his party.
Mr.. Kelly however, fought out his
ideas in opposition to Mr.. Tilden up
to the last moment. Even the night
before the convention met he was
confident that TiIien would be de-
feated. In the convention itself he
took the platform amid scenes OF the
widest excitement, and prophesied
that if Tilden were nominated the
democratic party would lose the state
of New York. His representations
were not realized, md Tilden was
nominated on the second ballot-N.

There cannot be a reasonable doubt
but that our Territory is on the verge
Of a season of prosperity that will
soon ba felt in every artery OF trade
and Industry. This prospect is based
upon tangible realities. enterprises
already begun and conditions which
are not liable to change until full
fruition of the most sanguine hopes
Of our Deopfe are realized. The
main source of this currant Of activity
will be the gigantic work already
begun by the Northern Pacific Rail
road in the construction OF the Cas-
cada Division. The demand made
for labor by this company has already
absorbed a largo proportion of the
available bone aud sinew, and the
roll is still open for all who possess
the physical strength and will to
engage in the hard work which rail
road construction over a mountain
range and through walls Of adament
involves. The tunnel will not be
completed for several years, and the
total expenditures OF the company for
labor and supplies will aggregate
about eight millions Of dollars, most
of which viii, necessarily, be dis
tributed among the people OF the
Territory. And this Is by no means
the full extent of railroad develop
ment 10 the Territory 1nnumerable
lines are projected in Eastern and
Western Washington, and not a few
are under construction.
The hop crop this season will bring
nearly a million dollars to our people
which few months ago, nobody
dreamed was within the bounds O.
possibility. This will relieve the
embarrassment of growers, who have
been waiting so patiently for reviva
of the industries, and benefit directly
and indirectly every branch of trade
This, of itself, would ordinarily have
been hailed as the harbinger of gooc
times.
| Lumber remains firm with a pros
pect of decided Improvement. The
demand for many months past, while
it has not been brisk has been stead,
and the traffic IN a healthy state, in
dicating conditions that are infinltel!
preferable to the fevered state o
business which are marked by higl
prices and rapid fluctuations.
The crop of cereals in Easter
Washington promises fair, with ;
prospect of shortage in the foreign
product This means, with the com
pletion of the Cascade Division, ant
a way opened to market at reasonable
rates for transportation, an ample
profit to the farmers Of the interior
Other crops are up to the average ant
are so far matured as to leave NJ
doubt of an ample yield. Thi:
resource alone has been the depend
ence many years which have beer
considered of fair repute, from 1
business standpoint.
1t seems to the writer, that enough
of the elements of prosperity have
been enumerated to demonstrate that
if indeed Coming events cast thei
shadows before" the first months O
| 1887 will witness the dawn of 1
season of prosperity seldom felt b!
any people. Nor will we have to wal
that long before the preliminar,
effects become manifest. Tht
approaching Fall season will b,
marked by unusual activity, thus
bringing the realization of thes,
hopes as an almost immediate result
