oUK STATE GROWTH.

Ia our local columns yesterday
our reporter pointed out the consid-
cmblc neutrality-suspicious. attained
10y Oregon during the last eight
years. lu 1850 the United States
census showed a population of l7l,-
5GN, and In the same year iO.661
votes were cast at presidential
election. This is in the ratio Of
one vote to Il persons. In
the election last held GO,9O7 votes
were pollcd, which 10y the same rule
ot computation will show present
population of pa, $50 persons. This
Is an Increase of 80 per cent I'm eight
years
There is no boom about this.
While we n Oregon have been
quietly going along, enjoying an
unsurpassed climate and expert

rich soil, other states and territories

would only come down with the
money TO start them.
City progress moves slowly.
Natures methods comprehend
long reaches Of time. The
Journalist, the small dealer and
and here and there a professional
man, can see tempting opportunities
Of growth and development, if our
wealthy citizens would only aid with
their means. These opportunities
are set forth iu horid terms. and the
amount given that is necessary
10 make them available. The
conservative citizen i- not impressed
with the showing made, and hence
the uccdrul is not forthcoming.
Then we hear a TRADE against the
pcuuriou-uc-s Of these clO-c-li-tCd
curmuducous I'm this way the East
Orcgonian gets after them:
"Thcrcar several property owners
i'm l,cndlctou, having valuable i'm
tcrc-ts, who have utterly and per-
-istcntly refused, tine and time
again, 10 do the least thing toward
a greater prosperity of PcndlctOn.
They have refused to give the first
dollar toward the construction of
roads and the like that added hun
drcds Of dollars to the value of their
property. Such people are hogs of
the most common variety, and the
East OrcgOnian intends to make
war on them on every line of battle
until they see themselves aS others
see them. lis nothing more nor
less than robbery to take benefits
derived entirely from the works of
others, and that is exactly what
these few have been doing i'm past
years
This Is very severe, but hard words
break no bones. Preachers will lose
patience with their locks for staying
away from church, and -cold those
few faithful souls who do attend.
But this intcmpcruncc Of language
is not the way to win. Shylock met
Gratiuuo'S torrent Of abuse:
"Tm thou cnnst rail the seal from or my
bond
Thog but onud'st thy lungs to spcal, so
loud.
If wealthy citizens will not sub
scribe on courteous solicitation, they
cannot be expected to give way to
abuse. So, there is no recourse but
t. put up with them. As they are
asked to foot the bills it is only
right their Judgment should be con-
suited If 1t is not given them to
see things Alright, it is unfortunate
for them and for others. But we
must not lose confidence I'm the hu-
man race The world will continue
to rcvolVc and the seasons to yield
their increase. SO IL Is well for Us
all to possess our souls In patience,
and bc rcconcilcd with the condi-
tiuus that surround Us.

Your correspondent left Silverton
Wednesday afternoon. The north
bound passenger train on the line of
the Orcgouian Railway left the track
this morning near the Molalla, i'm
consequence of defective cattle
guard, aud as the train ran about as
well on the ties as on the rails, it
was not discovered until they had
gone something near half a mile.
The south bound train was delayed
over two hours, so we got rather "a
late start.
All kinds of grain along the road
look wen. The crops donot seem to
bc damaged any by the heavy rains
Of the past few days.
A new depot and postoflice have
been erected at Macleay.
As the train was pulling out Of
Maclcay, a COW that seemed to be
inspired with a feeling Of hilarity,
started to cross the railroad track in
front Of the approaching train. The
engineer, fearing that a collision
would result disastrously for the
COW, stopped the train to allow the
animal time to get across.
The road bed Of this line is in a
terrible condition, but we under
stand that work will commence i'm a
short time on the same.
After n ride of one hour and ten
minutes, we arrived at the beautiful
little village of Aumsville, where
we find everything in prosperous
condition, and farmers well pleased
with the prospects.

ALL TALK AND 40 CIDER.

a democratic speaker ought to be
ashamed to look an audience in the
face and mention the word tariff.
For ten years the lower branch Of
congress has been in democratic
hands, and the country has been
looking for a revision Of the tariff;
but the democratic members have so
little heart in the fiscal reform they
prate about that nothing has been
done. Two successive attempts nave
been made by Morrison to reduce
excessive import rates by a horizon
tai cut. This is the fairest way OF
abating an evil, and falls, like the
gentle rain, on the just and the un-
lust. But they were scared from
their purpose by howl raised in
various quarters, and Mr.. Morrison,
who showed farm horse sense in his
mannerofgettingaroundaditiicult
has been relcgatcd to private life.
The democrats are too pusillanimous
and time serving to face opposition,
and when a revision Is made i'm the
tariff. it will come from republican
hands. This Is the only progressive
party and reforms have 10 come from
that source. Talk is cheap, and we
hear too much Of II on the stump
and at street corners; the republicans
have Encourage Of their convictions,
and when they make up their minds

Is this long suffering people to bo
afflicted with IA tariff discussion all
through the campaign? Cleveland
has been guilty Of many grave
ollcnscs, but his tariff message to
congress, which has sent every news
pnprrcditorand politicalspeaker cra-
~ about custom dues, is sucharetihe-
mcnt Of cruelty that adequate pun
ishmcnt cannot bemcted out to him.
At the democratic talk last night
three or four hundred unoilcndiug
persons were assembled, thinking to
hear a lively pking over, and a few
personalities, pcrchunce 70 give zest
10 the banquet. But they were
condemned 10 the inhiction of tariff
discourse. United States census re-
ports for fifty years back were brought
down from their dusty shelves, and
figures and percentages thrown mt
an audience who showed by their
wcuricd looks how much they suf-
fcred from the numerical lombard
ment. II would he a mercy II we
could have autocntic rule for the
next six months, and every political
speaker refused the privilege of ad-
dressing un audience unless he
entered into his own recognizances
