An Oregon Pacific Contract.

1t is announced that another con-
tract on the eastern extension of the
Oregon Pacific railroad has been let to
Orman & Crook, well known con-
tractors of Denver, Col. The contract
includes the grading of fifteen miles
beyond the contract of AntoneIle &
Poe, also three miles of unfinished
work between Briton Bush and the
abandoned tunnel, making eighteen
miles in all. The contractors have or
dercd an extensive plant to be shipped
from Colorado. 1t has been an open
secret since the arrival of Col. Hogg
and party from New York, that the
Oregon Pacific Company has decided
to push the road through to Boise City
without further delay and they have
ample capital for this purpose. Men
in position to know say that some
heavy contracts on the road through
eastern Oregon will be let soon.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS.

Until last year, when The subject
vas - thoroughly gone into by the
newspapers of the country, it i safe TO
49, that comparatively few of our own
py.nl. knew thut the Eni,ei States
Ia, come 10 lie the greatest nlanufac-
....in- nation of The worl,i. They had
hi the geography lessons of their
cI.IdhuoI 80 thoroughly drilled into
them, that they still believed Great
Britain 10 lee in the lead, and did not
know or appreciate the fact that the
United Sta,e. had advanced, as Glad
stone expressed it, ''by leaps and
bounds" To the very front.
!, j. little wonder, then, that our
Iri-hlo.S of South and Central Amer
lea were no less ignorant than our
selves, and that their excursion into
/ the manufacturing district of New
England WAS a genuine revelation TO
/ them. When thcyaTe shown the most
extensive factories and mills and shops
III the world they may certainly he
pardoned for being surprised, for that
| j. lust the emotion which most North
Americans who have not given the
subject special study would feel.
Out of this newly acquired knowl,
edge must come not only an increased
respect for the United States, but
newly adjusted commercial relations
a5 well. As Venezuelan delegate puts
it, We have inspired the delegates with
"a feeling of confidence which European.
have not. We have shown them thai
we are making goods which can com
; pete with European goods, and n nat
uraI result of what they see and learn
will be increased international trade
and commerce.
We ourselves have much to learI
about the details of trade before W,
can afford to compete with Europe il
some of the southern countries. Fol
example, as was shown few days ago
American shipments Of merchandise
to Mexico have often been i'll sucl
shape that the goods could not b,
packed into the interior without clrang
ing the shape and size Of the package
altogether, while European goods o
the same kind reach there put in a con
venient form for transportation OF
, pack animals.
, still, if our merchants can get tn
trade they will soon learn to adap
: themselves to the requirements of thei
: customers, and if they can show thes
delegates to the conference that it is t
their interest to buy here rather thai
in Europe the trade will certainly com
| in due time.

Senator Frank Hiscock of NV
York is one of the few public men of
the east able to recognize the fact
that "W estward the star of empire
takes its way" Most of the states
men and men OF affairs from the At
lantic seaboard are still under the
impression that the wealth, the intel
lisence, and the population of the
United States are bounded on the
west by the western side of the state
Of New York. or, at farthest, by the
Mississippi riverI but Senator His
cock takes a broader view and ap-
preciates the growth and Importance
of the great west, and especially of
the Pacific coast. 4 day or two ago
he said that the elections in the new
states show that New York is no
longer pivotal state in a presiden-
tial contest; that the center of popu-
lation is rapidly moving westward
and that the day is not far away
when Washington will have much to
say in national matters, and when
her desire will be consulted and
much deferred to in the selection of
national candidates.

The mayor is perfectly right. 10 a

why the Sc sions should he cuntinued

gentleman on Tuesday that his business
here was in relation to the u. r. s. Ry.
and that in less than three weeks there
would be large force of men at work
on the road. In speaking of the
twenty-five mile limit" he said:
when once we begin work our limit
Will he the Columbia river" This
means that the work will he pushed 10
its utmost. The parties controlling the
road are not in it for land speculative
purposes but for legitimate railway
business, and they cannct afford to
build few miles of road then sit down
and wait for rise in land values.
1hey WANT terminus at the sea board
ami they will have ii Just as soon as il
is possible for large force OF men to
complete it. There is no doubt in our
mind that before the end of 1880 trains
will be running regularly between New
York and Port Townsend, that one
may read III the windows of the ticket

iigence "Only one change of ears be-
tween New York and Port Townsend

Congressman Mills % Texas, the Os-
tensiblc luther of tt. !Ice trade bill of
the last cv--s,.@ss, LIS been imparting
his views on the political complexion
and situation of the next house of
representatives. Mr.. Mills says, speak
ing for his party, "Although we are in
the minority, we do not propose that
the Republican party shall pass sin
gle measure without our consent. We
propose to exercise control of the house
just as mucn as though we were still in
the majority, because we know our
minority is strong enough TO make us
the virtual rulers"
At the last session another southern
Democrat, Oates of Alabama, put OBJ
structionist tactics into actual effect
upon the Direct Tax bill, but Mr..
Mills is the first prominent party lead
er who has ever dared to assert a gen.
eral and persistent course of obstruc-
ton as Il party measure and policy.
Even i'll the house of commons the
most radical of the Irish members adj
vocated obstruction only as tempor-
aFy expedient; but here is Il man who
has aspired to the leadership of great
party, i'll a country governed by the
representative system of government,
openly declaring that the will of the
| majority shall he subordinated to the
factiOus opposition of the minority,
and that the expressed will of the peo-
pie shall be thwarted by that minority.
Henry Cabot Lodge recently pointed
out that 1.-THE rights of the minority
have been so well protected in the
house of representatives that the rights
of the majority have disappeared, ~
meaning, of course, under the present
cumbrous and intricate rules which
govern the conduct of that body. I'm
der and by virtue of this mass of anciI-
Larry legislation Mr.. Mills and his col
leagues of the minority may be able, foI
the next two years, to make good theiI
boast, and reduce the Republican ma
iority to state of complete inactivity
but if they do they will find that theil
course is a veritable boomerang, and
that it will reflect upon themselves in
a way they will not like. The surest
way to secure an enormous Republican
majority in the house would be to have
the Democratic minority carry out its
policy of obstruction during the coming
congress, for the people would ther
take the matter into their own hand
and eject so few Democrats to tn,
house that they could not affect legis
lation IL any way, and that their at
tempts at obstruction would only maxi
them the laughing stock of the coun
country.

Reports are again published, thf.
time from Chicago, giving circum-
stantial details o. the purchase of brew
cries, mills and other properties in the
United States by English capitalists.
The amount of money thus invested IS
stated at almost fabulous figures. If
the reports he true they suggest several
| things. The amount of accumulated
capital i'll Great Britain must I've so
enormous that Investment at Il reasona-
bic profit can no longer be secured. In
| tercst must also have fallen TO = noiut
where annuities can no longer be paid
out OF the ordinary business Uses of Tho
ordinary business uses of capital. The
intense conservatism and severe nrr-
dencc of English investors, or rather of
the bankers who act for them is prov-
erbial. Therefore the plethora of idle
capital must really constitute Il dancer
10 the vested Interests OF the money
dealers. fuT those Investments in b7.,,--
cries and similar enterprises in the
States look very much like the actiop
of II captain of Il ship al sea who throws
Il part of his cargo overheard 10 sa,-,
his vessel and his life. The outlook for
peace in Europe is not the most cheer
ing, and that British commerce has ey-
perienced Il care from the extraordinary
demand made by The government for
naval arnaments is not improbable.
Investments in American business on
terprisCs are therefore more PROMISING
than anything Oh the other side of the
Atlantic. III thus casting their bread
on the waters, British capitalists doubt
less expect to fiHd il, with increase, ar-
ter many days. There Is. however. "a
ct ilieir being disappointed.
Most of The properties purchased bv
them have grown from small begin
ninga sine" the civil war and Their
value consists in competency OF man
agcmen', and the continuance of exist
