OAKES SDALE.
Interesting Notes on the Wheat
Railroad and Building Outlook.

Railroad ana puloH'H Oue'ooN'
OAKEsDALE, May IA, l8SS.-Nice
and warm and everything growing
fine.
New buildings are going up in all
directions and all classes of workmen
are busy.
The sthool house is almost complet-
ed. 1t is agood job of work and Will
make nice appearance when COM
pleted.
Us. Marney will at once erect q
hotel opposite the depot
DIR. Baker has been on the sick list
the past ten days, but is now on the
streets again.
There will be large church build
ing erected as soon as the material can
be got on the ground.
Cashup Davis is having his aerial
hotel erected on the summit of Steptoe
Butte. He will have it all completed
by the 4th of July, and will have a
grand celebration and dinner. Oaks
dale is the nearest point from the rail.
road, being only six miles distant.
The o. II. & N. surveyors are near
town, locating their roads. Who can
any longer doubt that Oaksdale is the
coming town of the great Palouse
country. 1t is now the great wheat
center.
What is the matter with the railroad
officials that they do not move the
grain? If they cannot move it now.
what will they do this fall? Is it not
time that we got another road? We
think so, and feel sure that the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern road will also
come through this place. That is on
the slate. We do not want the capi-
tai, but we are bound to be the great
railroad and grain center. If Mr..
Schulze believes what he said to the
REVIEW reporter last week in regard to
enough railroads in this upper country
he must be very ignorant rs to the
traffic of this region at this time, and
its future; or was he trying to prevent
some road from coming to Oaksdale?
We are glad to see and hear that all
the towns in this upper country are
prospering beyond expectation, but ii
Oaksdale gets an extra share by being
provided bv nature, as IL is, we cannot
help it. We shall hope for the pros
perity OF all our rival towns.
A country and town favored as we
are, with good soil, fine climate--so
prod uctive and durable--and a natural
geographical location, cannot help but
get II world wide fame.

MRs. POTTERs dramatic season has been a
financial success She Is now playing at the
Grand Opera House, New York, to very
large and very enthusiastic audiences. The
critics in many places have been very severe
on her. In fact, she has had little to encourage
her In what any Of them have said Since
her return to New York those on the metro
pOltan papers have given her the credit of
making some improvement In her methods.
They all admit her pleasing presence, her
winning personality, and her power to attract
the public. One of the abest critics In New
York Is Mr. A. c. Wheeler. Speaking of Mrs.
Potter's juliet, he says II was divided into
equal but strongly cOntrasted exhibitions of
good and bad;' that up to the sce'ie with the
nurse she was delicate, tender, joyous, imagi-
native, impulsive, and natural, - but that in the
latter part Of the play where the serious work
comes in she 'rattled through the complex
task on level plane of feeling and came out
at the same altitude and pitch at which she
had entered" "" Wsc6ivr tells the exact
truth about Mrs Potter's acting. II Is very
uneven-,- sometimes very good sometimes very
bad But this isreassuring to her friends. II
she:has good qualities she can improve them.
while the bad ones she can eventually get rid
Of She has reason to be satisfied with her
venture on the stage, so far as her success
before the general public is concerned. Her
next season will probably be an Improvement
on the one Just closing, and she may consider
her fortune made. Whether she regards all
this an adequate compensation for the many
sacrifices she must necessarily have made In
abandoning the quiet walks of private
life for the noisy glare Of the foot
lights, Is question that she must
answer for herself. But the information come,
very direct from her that she has been greatly
shocked and grcved at the freedom witt
which her name has been handled by tn,
press. This she ought to have been prepared
for. When Il lady from the high and some
what exclusive circle Of society TO which Mrs
Potter belonged in New York goes on the
professional stage she deliberately attempts
to run the most dangerous gamut ever under
taken by womankind. II is the penalty tha
women pay who take such a step, and it il
useless 10 complain about II. II Is useless tC
talk about the reason or the right of such O
state Of affairs; II Is enough TO know II exists
Fortunately there are few women Of real re
tncmCnt, of real virtue, real ability, and rea
position who will permit themselves to be
come It's victims.

Republicans VIII Win.

The Republicans of the country have Just
reason to be well satisfied with the condition
Of affairs. Democracy has been weighed In
the balance and found wanting. A large
majority of the people Of the country are
satisfied aO,U that the Democratic party
ought not to he entrusted with either the
legislative, executive, or judicial power OF
the government.
BY denial Of the privilege Of voting to n
large class of citizens Democrats have had
control of one branch of the legislative de-
partment for number Of years, and have
nearly succeeded in securing the other
This usurpcd power has not been used for
the benefit of the country
Through the same methods, supplemented
by gross frauds in New York, the Demo-
Gratis four years ago acquired control of the
executive department and have practically
ruled the country for q period Of three
years.
The result Is before the people, and their
verdict on Democracy Is already delivered,
to he recorded on the first Tuesday in
| November. That verdict is a harsh but just
one. II reads, depart, ye cursed.'
Incompetence, dishonesty, and an utterdis
| regard Of the true interests of the people
the failure to comprehend that this is
| great nation, the conduct of which require:
an unseliish devotion to the true principle:
of liberty, has marked the administration oi
the Democratic party. 1t goes into the com
ing contest so heavily handicapped that tc
win is impossible.
The failure to redeem any pledge it made
theattempt to destroy American industric
and to pauperize American labor, has com
pletcly disgusted the people Of every sec
| tion.
The Republicans have only to remain tru'
TO the traditions of the party-to stand t
and abide by the great principles whicl
have governed It's actions in the past-,qX
the American people will gladly retprsy has

The Democratic Fraud,

The Democratic platform claims that the
party has 'reclaimed from Corporations and
syndicates" nearly lOO,OW,OOO acres of the
public domain. This.s a most unblushing
falsehood that miglt pass-if asserted by a
crossroads politician or country newspaper
as the resilt of ignorance, hut, coming
from a jody Of remarkably well-nformed
men. aan be called nothing but what it is
a downright, palpable, willful lie.
The platform challenges the most search
ing scrutiny" OF the acts Of the administra-
tion, when every Democratic senator voted
against a resolution for an open debate on
the fisheries treaty, one of the most i'm
portunt acts of the administration.
II says Democracy means an "indissoluble
Union,' when the Democrats who ruled the
convention and the party were engaged four
years in an attempt to destroy the Union,
The platform declares that "the rights
aud welfare of all the people have been
guarded and defended" 60 "and the
equality Of all our citizens % O. without re
gard to race or color has been steadfastly
maintained" And yet American fishermen
have been deprived of liberty and property,
and the American flag insulted with scarcely
rCmonstrance from the administration,
and millions Of American citizens have been
denied every right, but that of existence,
because of trace aud color"
But it is useless to enumcratc further.
The whole platform is a combination OF
falsehoods so brazenly impudent that It
could only proceed from men utterly in.
different to public opinion or thoroughly
imbued with the belief that the people OF
the country are fools.

ST. LOUIS has had her big convention,
and her hotel keepers, saloon keepers, and
her other citizens who profit by such events
will sit down and count over their gains.
They are no doubt good deal better of
than they were before the convention as
sclnhlcd, \ national convention of either
81 the great parties means the expenditure
81 a considerable amount Of money. The
~. Louis convention may he said to have
lasted six days that is, the city was pretty
well crowded for that length Of time. The
average attendance Of strangers during the
lime was perhaps $4,000, and these 10000
did not spend les, than SO day each, SO
HAT the money flowed into st, Louis at the
rate uf S3OO,OOO a day for six days. This
would amount to -, 100000 for the whole
time nearly $1,000 900. This Is not an
cNtmyagant estimate, but rather con-
scryatlyc one. And when il Is remembered
that nearly all this tremendous sum goes
into the hands Of comparatively small
number Of people, il will be seen what a
golden harvest a national convention is 10
those who happen to bee in the way Of it.,

The Etrueattitude the Democratic party to-

clearly aud without further disguises There
was not, so far as heard from, one word
uttered in the ST. Louis convention in behalf
of civil service reform, and the platform Is
as silent rs mummy's tomb on the subject
After all the loud talk of four years ago
this looks quite contemplate. No party
ever betrayed public trust with more SUI
rreme, unruiIled impudence. Ther. ne,er
was aa instance of more abiect, shameful
hypocrisy. What is Mr.. Cleveland going
to say on this subject in his letter of accept
mcey Is he, the paragon of strong will and
