Some OF the Washington papers are tax
ing up the carping tone adopted By por-
ton Of the Eastern press in commenting
uIon the committees appointed by
Congress 10 visit different parts
OF the country. They are sneered
at as official picnics and junksting
parties, and discredit In thrown upon the
purpose and the result. The benefit de-
rived may not be marked or immediate,
but the general advantage OF bringing the
national legislators into closer association
with sections remote from their own inter-
ests cannot be doubted.
The new and fast growing states Of the
West hare been especially benefited; their
phenomenal development has been better
appreciated, the changed condition better
understood and the needs oil the people have
been more clearly presented. There may be
no Daniel Websfers now in Congress
who regard the empire beyond the
Rocky Mountains as q vast wilderness;
but there are many members whose lives
have been spent in the old Eastern states
whose growth has been gradual and ex-
tended over period bounded only by
century. They have but vague idea Of
the bouncing strides with which new COM
munities. new conmonwealihs and new
and great centers of commercial activity
are massing themselves in political bodies
a. important as some of the Eastern states
dating from the birth OF the Republic.
Washington owes some OF her most con-
sp.cuous concessions from the national
government to the appreciation OF and
sympathy with her requirements growing
out Of the personal contact with her people
by visiting statesmen whose immediate
purpose Was specific. Those necessities
are far from being met get: and hearty
welcome should be extended TO any means
Of bringing the state into warmer associa-
ton with representatives of the East and
South.
Increased postal facilities, coast defenses,
encouragement OF industries such as those
which resulted in the building of the
Charleston and San Francisco. prompt and
more thorough land surveys. the establish
ment Of naval depots. improvement of riv-
ers and harbors are but few of the SUBJ
iects which readily. suggest themselves in
consideration OF this aspect OF the ques-
ton.
Some of the most emphatic endorsements
OF the states requests and some of the
most eloquent tributes to her people. her
fecundity and her possibilities have sprung
from the lips OF these "junketers." who
came 10 skepsically question, and went
back to emphatically affirm. The cost of
these official visits is infinitesimal, COM
pared 20 the benefits bestowed upon the
state in interest and the people at large.

HER BEAUTIFUL EYES.

o, her beautiful eyes! They are blue a. the
dew
On the violet's bloom when the morning IL new.
And the light Of their love is the CLEAN of the
sun
Ger the meadows Of spring where the quick
shadows run.
As the morn shifts the mists and the clouds from
the skies
SO stand in the dawn Of her beautiful eyes.
And her beautiful eyes are as midday to me-
When the lily bell bends with he weight of the
bee,
And the throat Of the thrush is pulse in the
heat.
And the senses are druggcd with the subtle and
sweet
And desirious breaths Of the airs lullabies-
So swoon in tie noon OF Eer beautiful eyes
o. her beautiful eyes! They have smitten mine
As q glory glanced down from the glare of the
thr1ue;
And reel, and falter ard fall. es afar
Fell the shepherds that looked on the mythical
star,
And yet dszed in the tidiugs that babe them
So grope through the night of her beautiful
eyes

There are probably few Englishmen

pariscn OF leading London journals with
those Of even backwoods American states
In the matter Of geographical or historical
accuracy. to say nothing of an absurd
bungling of military, naval and political
titles in commenting upon matters of
worldwide importance.
But the New York Evening Post of a
late date makes quotation which would
justify such comparison in q manner
complimentary to any well-conducted
American newspaper. In noticing the re-
moval of Ericsson's remains from this
country to Sweden the London Spectator
had this to say: admiral Braine, com.
mander-in-chief of the navy. and General
Howard, commanding the army, took

A GOOD JOKE on OREGON.
After Howling for q Recount Portland IL

Philadelphia Press.
A few weeks ago ell the Oregon newspapers
OF both political faiths were rsving about the
Federal census. A recount, not OF any partic,1-
lar city but OF the entire state. was demanded
In vain the ctnsus Office protested against q re-
count and declared that the work had been per-
formed conscensiously, carefully and strictly
In accordance with the act. Resolutions were
passed by the Board of Trade deno1ncing the
census Office, abusing the superintendent and
intim a;ing that the local officials were either
monsters who had sold ont 10 the adjoining
state of Washington, or imbeciles who should
fpd place on DR.. Billings list OF the classified
idiots OF the United states. Here is a specimen
paragraph from the 0regoaiaa:
The census bureau wincas under the plsin
criticisms OF the hoteh job made Of the work of
its employees in Oregon. This 10 quite natural.
When criticism is justly based it Is likely TO
arouse its OF lect 10 a point OF retaliation
The census Office did not "wince" but IL did
send one of its most efficient special agents TO
Portland with Instructions TO investigate And
what was the result The bubble was pricked
and today no one il demanding recount in
Oregon. Aside from jealousy of the growth
of their risky neighoor, Washington, the
only thing the Oregon people had 10 pin
their demand On for recount was the state
census OF 1855 This alleged census purpor,ed
to give the population oil the state al 2se 600 and
upon these figures all the abuse Of the Federal
census was based. Upon examination, how
ever, il was discovered by the census Office ex.
pert sent from Washington, that gross errors
had been committed by the state officials. and
that in every eouaiy legal voters had been
counted twice. 1t has been proved by the cen.
sus Office. and is acknowledged by those de.
manding q recount, thst the state census WAS
exactly 5000 too large. as shown by correct
footing OF The returns, and that the population
in ISIS was $4,000. not $4,000. IL is not i'm.
probable that the Federal returns will show the
population 10 be Sioo0o, indicating heaithful
growth not only for the decade, ba; for the lss,
Eve years.
The shameful abuse OF the census ofics has
now ceased. and also The demand for a recount,
The state officials naturally feel mortified at the
exposure eli their unreliable, not TO say bogus
census. In nine cases OF demand for recounts
out of every ten the demand has its origin in
jealousy of some more prosperous city or com
munity, or is based on ignorance, prejudice. or
partisan hatred. Thus far the census once ha
patiently and goodnataredly disposed of eyery
case. The more We really know of the eleventh
census the more satisfied we feel that the work
was never done better.

California be allowed a place
on the next Presidential
ticket, because it stood by its reg

it occur to the journal in the East
that Nevada has always stood by
its Republican colors, and gives a

A WONDERFUL MINE.

Reports come from orovifie,
Cal, that the Golden Gate mine
is yielding such immense returns
that it will pay fifteen instead Of
ten millions In dividends.
The mine 10 merely thres-qu&rt-
ers OF a mile OF the bed OF the
Feather river exposed. 1t is q
daap cut in the rocks, that has for
years baffied all engineering skill.
until Major Frank Mclaughlin
took hold Of it, and lifting the en-
tire river 70 feet from it's bed,
humed it three-quarters Of
mile.
When he preached his scheme
to San Francisco capitalists they
merely laughed at him, and he
fiLally went to London, where he
raised the money and went to
work. He had many reverses. the
elements fought him to stand
still last Summer and downed him
in the Fall when his hundred
thousand dollar dam was wiped
out by the flood.
Men who were jealous OF his
work fought him in London, New
York and San Francisco. The
Major Is hard man to down, and
he managed his battle with Ne
poleonic skill, and now the mine
is panning out $500 o minute for
twenty-four hours in the day.
A strange combination In this
man Mclaughlin. Combined
with his keen business sagacity is
a constant overflow of animal
spirits and in the midst Of busi-
ness up to his ears, he finds time
to make merry with his associates,
put up practical jokes and keep
the table in q roar.
He always has half a dozen big
schemes on hand at once and is
cert ain to land each a winner.
With scarcely any education as
a civil engineer he has accom-
plsaed one Of the biggest engin-
eering feats Of his time and left
no detail sighted.
Outside of business hours he is
the most incorrigible practical
joker and Munchausen In Cali
fornia while his wordin money mat
tiers is as good as Jay Gould's
bond from London to San Fran
cisco. Hehas shown tremendous
pluck and staying qualities in his
enterprise and deserves all he
wins.
