If Brownsville really wants
the Airline railroad, it is about
time to be moving in the mat
ter. It will require an immense
amount of energy and work
to get the required bonus in &C
ceptabIe shape, but We have
men who are capable of doing
all that is necessary for the ac-
cornplishment of this great OBJ
ject. There is no doubt that
many of our citizens are willing
to leave all the work to a few,
and there are also others who

path Of Fhe workers but opposi-
ton only makes some men all
the more determined, and
Brownsville may be thankful
chat she has some citizens who
will not shirk but will do much
more than their share when the
proper time coanes to secure
this great public good. Browns
vile will know tc whom credit
will be due, should the railroad

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 81, 1897.
Secretary Gage is the finan-
cial boss of the whole admins
tration outfit. He made a bluff
at resigniag, if Mr.. Mckinley
was dissatisfied with his adVo-
cacy of Legislation to clinch the
gold standard upon our fnan-
cial system, aud Mr.. Mckinley
at ouce dropped to the gold
side of the financial fence, aud
Informed his willy Secretary of
the Treasury that be didn't
wan. his resignation and was
perfectly satisfied with what
be had done aud what be was
doing. IF that DOESN'T convince
the silver republicans in Con-
gress that Mr.. Mckinley has
left them in the lurcb aud sur
rendered, bag and baggage, to
hhe gold standard crowd. ii
EIll be plain as the nose on
your face that they don't want
4 be convinced. Although the
democrats were not at all sur
ptised at Mr.. McKinley's ac-
ton. they are much pleased
with it. Delighted, in fact. It's
worth many thousand demo
cratic votes:
Hon. Richard Park Bland,
Of Mo, whose nickname of SSH
yer Dick" has always been
considered by him and his ad-
nirers as one of the greatest
honors he has won in his long
career 10 the House, is jubilant
over the democratic outlook. |
He says the democrats will
sweep the country next year,
and. that in 1900 free silver will
be irresistible. He condensed
his reasons for this belief into
the following: The gold stand
ard is too narrow for this mag
Bificent country" Speaking of
the republican party, Mr. Bland
said: The Gage bill is strictly
id line with the republican
policy ana with Maj. McKin-
Iey's administration They
1ught to enact The bill into

may be heard from on the floor
Of the Senate Senator Bate
went TO tie department and
asked to see the papers in the
case OF Peter Clarke, who was
recently nominated for post
master at Pulaski, Tenn, and
against whom charges have
been made. Much to his sur
prise be was told that be could
not see them because be was
not a member of the Senate
Post Office committee. Rep
resentatiVe Cox who repre-
sents the district in which
Pulaski is located, was also re-
fused a look at the papers in
the case. If there is any law for
these refasals it should be
brought TO the notice Of Sen
ators and Representatives who
do not enjoy being snubbed by
department officiale; if there is
no law, the official by whose
order access was refused to
these papers should be made
to smart for it in some way.
With a continuation of the
Cleveland and Mckinley f.
nancial policy the bonds of the
United States would practical
ly be gold bonds, just as they |
are now. Isn't it strange then,
that the large bond holders
should be in favor Of Secre-
tary Cages scheme to refund
the bonded Indebtedness of
the country with 81 gold
bonds, knowing that it would
reduce the amount of inter
est paid by the government
to the extens of ten or twelve
millions year? The fact that
these hondholders are willing
to give up that much money TO
get the word gold" put upon
Z. S. bonds is significant. It
indicates the price the bond
holders would pay for the per
petuating of the gold standard
also, that they believe, in com
non with most democrats. that
existing laws do not justify the
the policy of the Treasury De
partment in deciding that 7. S.
bonds are pays bic in gold
whenever their holders so de
sire. Gold bonds will not be
authorized by Congress, bat the
effort to get such legislation
may result in good by opening
he eyes OF many who have
heretofore been unable to see
he drift of the gold movement. t;

new organization has completed
every arrangement to begin the
work of pushing this road on east
ward from the present terminus at
Detroit, and expect to reach the
pass of the Cascades, 20 miles east
of Detroit, by the time the snow
flies, while work will be pushed
with vigor upon the opening of the
year 80, and by the end fthe year
penetrate the great interior east of
the Cascades, the agricultural and
stock regions of that almost un-
known country south of John Day
and north and east of Klamath lake.
There has been no lack of zeal
shown by the people of Yaquina
bay, while the management of the
railway connecting the interior with
that splendid harbor have always
been alive to every point of van
tage and worked against fate with
faith that not even the persistent
and tyrannical procastination of
officials could shake, even through
the selfish withholding of aid broke
them financially and retarded the
development of country capable
of giving homes to thousands of
families.

tion, for TIE road would open up
territory now so isolated that
farmers cannot get their grain to
the markets. The thousands of
square miles of rich agricultural
lands now useless except as ranges
for cattle and sheep, would furnish
homes for thousands of families.
The mineral belts known and
others undoubtedly as good yet to
be discovered would offer an oppor-
tunity for the safe investment OF
capital now idle and bring to the
state class of energetic business
men and producing miners. The
scope for the development of Ore
gon is as great as the assurance
that participants in the work of
developing these latent resources
of nature would reap rich rewards
or that Oregon through these in
fluences would at once become the
leading gold-producing state of the
Union and second to none i'll agri-
culture, in dairy farming and in
magni6cence as a commonwealth,
for a class of homeseekers and
investors are ready and in waiting
who would at once perceive oppor-
tunities not often offered.
There is territory east of the
Cascades and reaching from the
John Day to the southern limit of
the state that is as little known to
the average Oregonian as is the
Hawaiian islands, and less under
stood as to their resources. A
railroad would open up this terri
tory with all its vast riches. The
Corvallis & Eastern will be the
first to enter this field, and it will
reap the first benefits. Yaqnina
Bay will be the outlet for the pro-
ducts OF this region, and in time
Yaquina City and Newport will
become the most important sea-
port towns in Oregon.
!. The argument has been advanced
that any further expenditure of
moneys toward the Improvement
of Yaquina bay and harbor entrance
was unjustifable in that other
existing harbors were all sufficient
to handle the export and import
business of Oregon. These pessi-
mists anti-extensionists do not
take into consideration the fact that
Yaquina bay is the natural, really
the only logical outlet to an area
