Whatever may be said, they exhibit a spirit of enterprise that is an object lesson to sleepy towns. , The result of the campaign ill Ure gon this year Will practically decide the fate of free trade ideas on the Pacific coast. Oregon demacruia have swallowed free trade, and mo undertaking to defeat Herman will: Hon. John M..Gearin of Po'tlaud. Their candidate is a clean, able man, 9 but their platform will hardly be endorsed by the people. In Dakota lmt week there was an other emigration boom. A blizzard and tornado destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars’s worth of prop— erty and many human lives. The boom was not exactly gotten up in thejnterest» of Puget Sound. but its efl'ect will be just the same. Well, 001119 on friends! There is aviary indication that the “plume l knight” from Maine will be nominaued for President, by the na— tional republican convention. in spite of his withdrawal, and In spite or an that has been said about his illness For genuine leadership Blaine has qualities possessed by no other living statesman. Oregon republicans have mnomi nated Hon. Binger Herman fur Con~ gross. This will make a third term for him—and it is conceded that he will have a walk over. He is one of the ablest find most industrious pub— lic servants the Pacific Coast ever had. Faithful to the people, a hard wfirker in congress, his re~nominn— tion and re-election have been a fow gone conclusion for months past. The burning question of the hour is: Do you want the railroad speedily built? It so, now uvcu do you want it? Would it be wise for you to divide your land with the railroad company, and still be richer than you are now, by reason of the increased value of what you have left; or, would you prefer to mope. and growl be— cause the road don’t build itself? “'hatever conclusian you come to should be acted out at once. If you say railroad. say so! And while you m making up your mind, don’t let all the other towns on Puget Sound get the start of Port Townsend.- There is a growing ’sentimeuf among republicans in this 'l‘orritury in favor of Tom Brents, the Old-«time champion, for Delegate.

Many of our readers are anxiously inquiring about the prospects of the Bert Townsend Southern. and if it will ever be built, and whether or not construction will be begun this sea son. We answer, after careful in mstigation. that we have unbounded faith in the enterprise; we have good reason to know that it is approaching a solid basis. out of the embryutic state in which such ventures usually remain for a few years after being first talked about. Just how soon Construction will begin, however, must depend largely upon the peo— ple, and upon the managementuf the company. The proposition to call a mass meeting as soon as President Kuhn arrives home we regard as. vensible and along the line of practi— cal action. Our citizens must. dem onstrate their business sagacity and enterprise by bidding for railroad connection with the interior, if they hope to succeed. It takes capital to ‘mild railroads, and, in these days of‘ western progress, capital does not? usually go where it is not invited. Subsidies and inducements are held out in all directions for the invest—- ment of capital to develop the coun- ‘ try. The town that. waits for money to come of its own accord and build ; railroads will surely lag behind the: procession. If we had a suggestion to ofl‘er it. would be that next after getting up a rousing bonus as a starter, iho serVECes of a practical and successful railroad builder be secured, and that such a man be induced to head the enterprise. Ono who has standing among railroad capitalists and in money centers in the carat—a reputa tion as a railroad builder—would be aiovcer of strength to our railroad. Under such luadvrship it would be so much easier ta; dmuonstrato the feas ibility and practicability of railroad building southward from Port Towns and Day, that the wisdom of sash a course needs no argument. Unques tionably the opening and the demand are abundant to warrant. the invest ment of all necessary capital: but. like everything else in the lino of‘ business. it all requires careful andi judicious management. A shop keeper would hardly be expected to till a farm, nor a school teacher to success fully conduct a milliwr N” Put a practica' ' to build ' are The Third Party.

General Boulnnger. The New York Herald reports an interwiew with General Boulangvr at which he said: "It was not I who iirst though: of the Presidency of the republic. All my 'hupes centered in my return to the Ministry. Now, it is true that my friends hold out to we the prospect of the first magis tracy in the State. Will you call me ambitious if I hay I have not been able to avoid looking at the pros pect ?" It is beginning to dawn on people generally that Boulangor is a very cunning politician. There was an impre.~sion not very long: ago that he was nothing but a swashbuckler, a modern Bombastes Furioso. and that his only opportunity for advance ment lay in a war with Germany; but more recent. develepments‘ have shown that he has studied France and her people to good advantage. and that he is shrewd, far seeing and nagacinus. During all the trouble which has centered about him he himself has been cool and appar~ ontly unimpussioned, and every inci~ dent which might have been expected to destroy his influence and prestige aseeenied in some way to turn to his advantage. Even his compulsory .retirement from the army rather in creased his popularity than dimin ished it, and if he shall be elected to-morrow to the Chamber of Depu ties by a large majority in the De partmeut of the Nerd. there will be nothing at all unreasonable in the expectation of his becoming Presi— dent of the republic. Boulanger certainly poSSeeses that indefinable art. of attaching others to himself which, in default of a better name, We call personal magnetism. It is probably true that the first sug~ gestion of the Presidency came from Boulanger's friends. and not from himself, although he doubtless had such a thing in his mind.

It would be well for him to let the people once in a while nom mate a candidate. He is too monot onous and monopolistic. _Mr. Mulhalr, the well-known ste txstioian, says that this country is ad ding annually to its wealth nearly as much as Great Britian, France and Germany combined.
