TO INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT.
We desire to address a few words
to our Democratic friends who went
off with the disaffected Republicans
last year and formed what was known
as the Independent party. ,' We say
what wa$ known as we do not reo-
ognize the existence of any such par
ty in this State now. There are on
ly two parties that have any national
recognition, and they are the Demo
cratio and Republican parties. Either
one must win or the otherno third
party can assume sufficient magni
tude and proportions to gain a vic
. tory in Oregon at least this year.
You who have been life-long Demo
crats cannot hesitate as to which of
the two bid parties you would prefer
should succeed. The , Republican
party has always been your enemy,
and the enemy of our country. It's
career has been bad from it's incep
tion down to the present time; but
especially in it's later days, has it
been most infamous. Arrogant with
constant success; flushed with power;
ambitious; and desirous of attaining
colloBsal fortunes from the publio
plunder, the Republican leaders de
liberately robbed the Government;
legislated for the perpetuation of
themselves in office legislated for
the Party, in fact, ratbor than Nation
They stole whenever they could; and
to save themselves from the cells of
the Penitentiary, they made theft
legal. They robbed the Nation, and
, made the robbery lawful, by their
own votes in congress. They ruined
the South; oppressed its people, ex
alted the Neerro. until the civilized
world raised its voice in condemna
tion. They violated the constitutions;
under the pretense of securing the Ne
gro his rights, but really with the
purpose of securing his vote and
keeping themselves in power, and
their hands in the publio pap. They
seomed infatuated in their misrule.
They plundered by millions, and
gloried in the plunder. The Press
tboy defied, the people they despised.
But, their long lease of misused
power is gradually coming to an end.
The people, goaded into madness,
rose in their majesty, and swept the
eorruptionistg from power, as a
mountain torrent sweeps a prowling
fox down its headlong current. Then,
this whipped Party, like a bad boy,
promised reform, and with tears of
repentance assured its master, the
long patient people, that it would do
better, indeed, indeed it would, it
only tried aguiu. Such is the present
position of the Republican Party.
It is on the stool of repentance doing
penance for its faults; yet with sub
lime effrontery, it asked to be trusted
again, just as a clerk wto has been
caught robbing his employer's till,
might vow reform, and promise hon
esty if trusted again. Still, this Re
publican p1 is still a highly dan
gerous antagonist. It has in power
a corrupt, unscrupulous Executive,
who uses all his immense patronage
for party purposes. It has an army
of office-holders in power, who are
assessed like so many sheep per bead
to furnish friends for the party suc
cess. It has as leaders an array of
bold, bad, able .and unscrupulous
men, thoroughly versed in corrupt,
political chiaanery; men who will
employ any means, no matter how
degraded, to attain their end. Ten,
the Republican is a powerful party,
even when suffering from disgraceful
defeat. It is powerful from the
interminable effect of its corruption,
alone. As against this we have the
Democratic Party; a Party of whom
you have in the past been proud to
sny our country owod everything to.
Its existence ami hintory is coequal
with our government, and its con
tinued existence has been the main
pillar of our republican institutions.
Viewing the career of the two par
ties no tmer of his country and es
pecially no mm with a life time ad
hesion to its standard can afford to
leave it now and permit the corrupt
and villainous li&ilicul party to tri
umph over it. We appeal to Inde
pendent Democrat to land by the old
colors, and if there is to be any Dolly
Var.I. a party let its adherent come
rem the common enemy.

BUNK AMONG ICEBERGS.
The Steamship Vlclnbarg- Slovj by Ice
. and Sinks.
New Yob. June 10 Thesteamship
State of Germany, which arrived this
forenoon, brought five seamen of the
Dominion line steamship Ykksburg,
from Montreal for Liverpool, which
was sunk by ice on Tuesday, June 1st.
The men were picked up June 5th,
nearly dead from exposure. They
tell a fearful tale of distress. Other
boats were launched with a large num
ber of persons, but the greater num
ber were seen to perish without get
ting into the boats. The Vkksbwg
went down in the midst of the ice,
and the boats were surrounded by ice
bergs and field ice when picked up.
The other boats have not yet been
heard from.
The five men rescued had their feet
and legs very much swollen, so much
so, that their boots had to be out from
their feet. They are still sufforing
from their great exposure, but recov'
ering as fast as could be expected.
James Cbowley's Statement.
We left Quebeo, May 27th, with
a crew of 60 men and eight saloon
passengers (five gentlemen and three
ladies) and about 20 in the steerage,
of whom four were females. Hay
30th, fell in with a field of ice and
were soon surrounded. The ship
was stopped until daylight, when we
proceeded with but little ice in sight.
At 9:30 P. M. Monday all hands were
called to shorten sail, and the ship
was stopped amongst heavy ice. we
proceeded at full speed to get clear
of the ice. At 11 o'clock, at half
speed, we struck the ice. The ship
struck on the port quarter, carrying
away the fans of the propellers and
a hole was knocked through the plates
on that quarter, through which the
ship made a great deal of water. All
hands were then employed in heav
ing cargo overboard. The second
officer and myself were taken from
the cargo to clear away the boats,
The captain ordered the forward wells
sounded, and six inches of water was
found. The captain called me on the
bridge and told me not to mind the
boats, and then called everybody and
told them to have no fears, he could
take the ship to St. Johns. The cap
tain gave orders to launch the boats
with their respective crews, and told
them to bear in mind that the dis
tance from St. Johns was 120 miles
north-west. I proceeded to launch
No. 1 but it was capsized in lowering,
She was full of water. O'Brien and
I bailed her partly out, when Gra
gon, Wilkinson and Williams jumped
in. We could not hang on to the
ship, owing to the sea on and the ice,
O'Brien saw the captain on the
bridge beckoning the boat ba.uk, we
having drifted ISO yards from the
ship. We saw the second officer's
boat lowered and all clear, with nine
hands' and himself. The ship sank
about 10 o'clock, floating boat No. 2,
with, the chief officer and about
thirty people. O'Brien, after the
ship wont down, saw the captain and
some persons floating on a bale of
hay among the wreckage. We tried
to pick them up, but, owing to the
boat being half full of water, wore
not able to do so. We. kept compa
ny with the other boats for about
two hours and then lost sight of
them. I think forty odd people,
with the captain, went down with
the ship.
Removed. The removal by the
President of Gov. Axtell, of Utah,
ts a source of regret to the Mormons,
who had come to regard him as their
particular friend, but causes' genorol
rejoicing throughout the Territory
among the Gontilos. The IVibune
says hia incumbency during the next
session of the Legislature bad been
looked forward to with the gravost
apprehensions, and the removal of
the Governor by the President re
stores confidence in the advancing
interests of Utah Territory. Axtell
has asked till July 1st before the
chauge is made, that he may arrange
all unsettled business connected with
his office.

OBITUARY
LAUNER I. BM.I-ARD -Born In Linn
county, Oregon, llucembor Slth, 1858, died at
the residence of his parents, Kx-Uovernor I,
W. and J. K. Ballard, In Lebanon, Linn coun
ty, OreKon, May slh, U75, aged 21 years months
anu v uays.
Just as manhood's glided portals were being
unfolded, disclosing- life's glorious morning In
all Its varied beauty, our young friend, who
from the brightness of bis Intellect, his gentle
and winning manner and comprehensive Judg.
ment, which was not measured by his years,
might have fairly looked forward to a life of
more than common usefulness, is taken away
from us by that fell disease, consumption, and
leaves a void In this community which -will
not soon be filled. "The sliver cordis loosed,
the golden bowl ts broken. The pllohsr la
broken at the cistern. The dust returns to the
earth as It was and the spirit to God who gave
it." Bow sadly sweet is tho consolation afford.
ed by him who doeth all things well, to the
bereaved parents, the sorrowing brothers and
sisters, in this their hour of suprems woe.
Mr. Ballard, during his short, bright life, en-
Joyed many advantages whloh be never failed
to Improve In the most thorough manner, He
visited the Eastern Btates with his parents In
1805. and remained with his father In Boise
City during the four years the latter occupied
the Executive Chair of that Territory. After
he returned to his native country he attended
school, pressed bis studies with that thorough
ness which characterised his every action and
went through a course at the National Busi
ness College in the city of Portland, when he
graduated with honor on the 17th day ol May,
1872. sinoe that lime be has been conducting
tbe drug business of Ballard A McKnlgbt, at
Lebanon, up to the time he was prostrated
with the illness which terminated In his death.
Mr, Ballard was by Intuition a gentleman In
the better sense of that term ; kind and cour
teous In his bearing to young and old, taking
delight In paying a kindly homage to bis par
ents, and holding bis younger brothers and
sisters inthe mostaffecttonate regard. Hewas
perfectly consclousto the last. A few moments
before dissolution took place a younger sister
removed a napkin from his face, as she
thought it might interfere with bis broathing
which bad become very labored. He .seemed
quite grateful for this little act of kindness,
turned towards his sister, smiled and gently
said, "Thank you, Carrie," They were his last
words.
Loving son, affectionate brother, kind friend.
courteous gentleman, hall t and farewell. Fra
grant be tbe flowen that round thy bed shall
flourish. May the earliest buds of spring un
fold their blossoms there, and there may na
ture's choristers, tbe charming wild birds of
your native Oregon, which you loved so well,
chant their sweetest melodies o'er your lowly
rusting place. And shall wo not meet again t
Yes I in the bright morning of the resurrection,
purified from all earthly dross. In the heavenly
similitude of the angels, not in tbe sad cere
ments 01 tne grave, rny nrlgnt intelligence
oonneo oy eooiract who Kinareu spirits on
lie ever vernal shore of the other side, we
shall surely meet again.
Incurables Restored. Do not desnalr be
cause your physician shakes his bead. Pro-
lessionai opinions are not iniaillDie; ana tney
are never wider of the mark than when they
pronounce Cbronlo Dlspepsla an Incurable
malady. To mitigate Its pangs, the faculty
usually prescribes air, exercise and brandy.
The first two are God's medicines ; the last Is a
Satanic nolson.' The only medlolne needed In
oyspepsiaanaiisconcomitan sis or. j. walk-
tonlo of the age.
