WILLING PROSPERITY.

The Oregonian has taken the right
course in its endeavor to bring about our
wonted prosperity. That paper has invi-
ted large number of influential citizens
of the state to express, through its col
umns, their views as to the proper remedy
for our present condition. 1t has pub
lished many of these letters already, and
it would be well if they were read by
every thinking citizen of Oregon. They
are full of wise suggestions, are clear and
terse in expression and on the whole,
their tone is very hopeful. Such men as
D. P. Thompson, A. Bush, w. w. Thayer,
Wallis Nash, Sylvester Pennoyer, S. May
and the others who have contributed, are
not wont to waste words in mere specula-
tive theories; they are practical men and
give practical suggestions.
Probably nothing will bring about
what we call, in homely conversation,
"good times" as the feeling that such
condition is not far distant We need to
cultivate that feeling. Confidence is the
backbone of prosperity. The main trou-
Bile with us is that we have lost our grip"
We have become bewildered by the cry
of ''hard times" until we fancy we are
in deep water, when, in fact we are with
in wading distance of the shore. What
we need is to inspire each other with
courage and wade out.
In some ways the experience of the
present is blessing, and needed lesson
for the future. There is an old Missouri
motto, "you can't eat an apple and have
it." We as individuals, as municipali-
ties, as counties Or as a state, can not
throw our money into all sorts of extrav-
agances forever. The state is not oper-
ated by money rained down from heaven.
The taxpayer must finally furnish every
dollar that is either reck1essly or wisely
spent by the state, as we'll as for his own
bread and butter. Mr.. Bush bluntly
points out that our governmental system
throughout, from the smallest cities up
gance The whole system of course
must be put upon an economical basis,
and it will be done.
It is high time for US to quit sitting
around in despair and crying out so siren
uous1y, hard times '' We must take
our fists out of our eyes and put them to
the plow, throw off our sackcloth and
don overalls. Energy and determination
will remove mountains. There is pros
perity in the very word Twill" Foreign
capital will have confidence in us when
we have confidence In ourselves. Our
detected countenances have driven money
and moneyed men away from our door.
Let us work and whistle and be contented
and hard times are gone.

ASTORIA has at 1ast,decidedly favorable

ASTORIA has at last,,decidedly favorable
prospects for her railroad. The subsidy
committee aud Mr.. Hammond have come
to an amicable agreement, and the latter
expects to begin work on the Goble road
by the first of June. Astoria has been
trihed with SO long by pretended capital
lists that probably no man of lesser fnan-
cial standing than Mr.. Hammond could
gain and hold their confidence. The
state as well as Astoria is to be congrat-
SLATED that that gentleman has taken

the Union is there any railroad work be-
ing done. Mr.. Hammond attempted to
interest New York capitalists in the As
toria project, but did not succeed. Capt.
tai fights shy of such investments. Mr..
Hammond, however, has taken up the
proposition individually.

IMMORAL MORAL WAVE.

There is considerable immortality in
the so-called moral wave now sweeping
over Portland. As long as the police had
harvest in the forced tribute from the
fallen women, those unfortunates were
unmolested. Now that public sentiment
has made such business too dangerous to
be profitable, the highly moral officers of
the law have suddenly discovered that
the deni-monde are plentiful in Portland.
Wholesale arrests are the consequence.
What these women are expected to do to
keep the breath in their bodies has not
been announced. One Portland minister
advises them to jump into the William
cite. One thing strikes the average man
why is not SO very moral and who knows
anything about physiology is this: That
it takes two to trade; these women are not
their own patrons. If they have been
indulging in immoral conduct, men equal
ly as guilty are abundant in Portland.
Law should show no favoritism. Hence
the one-sided arrests find few supporters
among humane citizens. It looks as
though the Portland police is attempting
to kill the goose that no longer lays the
golden egg.
This agitation revives the discussion as
to whether or not houses of prostitution
should be licensed Ali endeavors to stamp
out the evil by legal means has signally
failed. If it will perforce exist, there
seems to be no reason, outside of maw-
kish sentimentality that refuses to recog-
nize actual conditions, why such places
should not be under proper police and
medical control. If those houses can
not be abolished-and no one has as yet
found way to accomplish this-it is GER
tainly better for the morals of the comm u
nifty that the law should restrict their exis-
tance to certain localities. The idea of
license is not agreeable to sensitive
minds, but it would seem to be folly to
let the evil ran rampant. Some things
that can not be eradicated can be placed
! under subjection.

ONE of the most cheering signs of the
times is the growth of protection senti-
ment in the south. 1t foreshadows the
early and absolute Triumph of the pro-
tective idea and the complete disappear
ance of the tariff agitation, with all its
harassing effects upon the country's bust
ness. For nearly 3oyears after the found
ing of our government the tariff was not
party question. It did not become a
party question until slavery forced it to
become one; and now that slavery has
vanished there is no reason why the fool
ish and ruinous tariff reform" agitation,
which it first gave rise to, should not
bear it company into the limbo of un-
sound political economic doctrines.
