FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1883
T J BTITE8, Editor
A Republican editor in Ohio stands
on the street corner ef his native city,
and witnesses a, drunken tow. which
results in the kilting of two men and
tile wounding of several others, and
then with feeling of virtuous loyalty
and a consciousness of superior goody
goody nets wends his way to his sanct
um and writes a very touching article
on the lawless condition of the South.
Such is (Republican) life.
A solemn warning, printed on fns
vellum, has reached the Car of Russia
and the members of the Russian Cabi
net, claiming universal suffrage, the
right of the people to own land, freedom
of conscience, of the press, of public
meetings &o. If these demands are
not granted before the coronation of
the Cxar. the Revolutionary Committee
sending the warning, threaten to revert
to intimidation. These dem.mds are
reasonable and should be granted at
once. Universal suffrage is far, far,
better than no suffrage, hence we think
it should be cranted at once. Of course
people ought to have the right to own
land, if they have any money to buy
it with. And the consciences of these
people should be free, if they have any.
Sj we say to the Russian eople, go
in and "intimidate."
Ex-Sexatob Booth, of California,
now reluctantly confesses that his
state is likely to be Democratic for
years to com o, the Germans having
deserted bis party to stay. This
defection, in itself, is considerable.
Added to a large exodus from the
ranks of the Republican party on
general principles, it will operate
fatally upon Republican hopes, Booth
fears, in the next campaign. We
hope we will not be thought 'igno
rant" or "dishonest" if we humbly
express the belief that there are a
dozen heretofore pronounced Re pub
licaa states where the Republican
party is in the same deplorable
condition as California. The man
who loves his country and good,
healthy, economical government,
will rejoice that nothing but wea
will grow out of this deplorable con.
dition of the Republican party.
kepcblicax newspaper have a
penchant for misrepresentation. One
of tbeir favorite ways of doing this is
to assume a thing to be so-and-so, and
then boid their opponents responsible
for that condition of thing. They
have a way of putting word into the
mouths of their opponents and then
calling upon their opponents to
answer to these words. T.'iey tell
the people that Democrats are in
favor of free trade, and then they
proceed to demolish free trade. We
beg to be permitted to say without
being thought "stupid," that the
Democratic party is in favor of a
tariff for revenue, and when that
revenue exceeds the amount necessa
ry to meet the demands of the
government, as is the case now, then
the Democratic party will demand a
reduction of the tariff duties. This
is Democratic doctrine as shown by
their platforms adopted from year to
year. From a spirit of pore unself
ishness, we are constrained to inquire
If this way of misrepresentation
adopted by so many Republican
papers, is net bringing down on their
devoted beads the shame and disgrace
that justly attaches to the deceiver
and falsifier, and if these gentlemen
are not in imminent danger of being
subjected to the operation of the
doctrine of "the survival of the
fittest."
hope run rei'i in i i vs.
All signs now point to the fact, that
this congress will not pans the act to
reform the tariff. The ultra protective
tariff men now believe there is but ens
hops of electing a Republican president
ia 1884. And thnv think that th
only hope ef maintaining a high, pro
hibits r, protective tariff, is in the
election of a Republican, iu 1884, for
president. They have therefore laid
oat this program : They will retard
and binder the legislation now pending
in Congress for tariff reforn:, with the
hope of ultimately defeating it. and than
force the Republican party into the
campaign of 1884 on a high protective
tariff issue. They will then make tbeir
impassioned appeals to the manufactur
ing establishments of the country for
aid in electing a Republican president,
which alone would turn the power of
the government in. favor of protecting
the rich against the poor. By this
appeal, fcbey would hope that the coffers
of those who have already grown rich
under the protective system, would be
opened, and that coin would literally
flaw into the bands of the Dsrseys and
Hubbells to elect their president. This
is tbeir last hope. Well do they know,
that nothing but money, in greater
abundance than ever before known, can
elect the next Republican candidate
for president. As a last report, they
will place the capital and wealth of the
country against the voters of the Count
ry. They will probably not dare to
attempt to raise money as Hubbell did
last year. So their last hope will de
pend upon their effort to secure aid
and assistance from rich corporations
and wealthy manufactories. But we
shall see what we shall see.

Notbinu haa contributed so largely
to extend tho influence of the press as
the general good conduct of the press
itself. No better evidence of this fact
could be adduced than the universal and
liberal support which is now extended
to the newspapers and periodicals of the
day, In all civilised lands, and especially
n the United States, by those over
whom this influence is extended. Oft-
times do we see the public sense sharp
ened and aroused to earnest, timely
consideration of important public ques
tions by the press, when, had it remain
ed silent, such questions would have
remained dormant. Journalism is not
what it was in former days. It has
more than kept pacs with the spirit of
progress and enterprise that has perme
ated the civilized world during the last
hundred years. Formerly a newspajier
was designed to b", and was, what its
name implies, merely a moans of con
veying news from one to many. Hot
in the progress of the times It has
grown to be a moulder of public opin
ion, a great aad powerful schoolmaster
of the people, a promoter of public en
terprise, an engine of political power,
besides being a universal disseminator
of knowledge. The germ of the news
paper had its origin in the desire which,
man in his early history, had, to com
municate the same fact to a number of
perrons. This gave liao to the custom
of "posting notices" ; as it grew to be a
very tedious matter to communicate all
thoughts and facts to the people by
"word of mouth' after man began to
"multiply and replenish the earth."
Then came the small, imperfect news
paper that was given to the public at
irregular interval. Aad aa the desire
and thirst for news increased, new and
better facilities were invented and
brought into use for more promptly
and fully supplying this demand. Then
uw m s w
came the newspaper at regular inter
vals, monthly, then weekly, and finally
daily. No other profession has made
such rapid and wonderful progress as
that of catering to the varied tastes of
the reading public. The moral cast and
features of Journalism, of late year,
have made rapid strides in improvement.
The bitter and unrelenting warfare of
words that, in former years, used to
characterise all political journals, ia
their deportment towards each other, is
now vanished by the unwritten laws of
decent journalism, from the columns of
public jeurnals. Yet there are except
ions to the rule. There are those, who,
unfortunately, have charge of so-called
newstaper who, being w recti of the
past, still fill tbeir column with the
poisonous billingsgate and abuse of ii ' y
years ago. They will not concede to an
opponent the liberty to express Isirly
and decently an opinion, or promulgate
a doctrine iu conflict with their own.
Aad if seme journalist should wander
across the path of tie? self-constituted
censors of public opinion by expn ssiog
bis views plainly, decently, but fearless
ly, that journalist will find himself
immediately under the ban of these
"wrecks of tho past." He will soon be
informed that he is "ignorant," 'Stupid,'
"dishonest" etc., etc., and that hU thus
expressing his opinions will no longer
be "tolerated." We say, thut notwith
standing the fact that the press is a
power for good, simply because its own
conduct has been generally good and
elevating ia its ton-, yet there are a
few thanks to the good sense and
discriminating judgment of the reading
pnblic,tut a few, who are thedbgrunt
led remains of a past vicious journalism,
who still live in the dim light of the
past, who have no conceptions of the
moral enervation infused into the journ
alism of to-day by the noonday sun
shine gleaming from the new life in
which we now live. They have no ad
vanced ideas on any subject. Week in
and week out, they produce and repro
duce their hackneyed sayings and ill
defined opinions for the edification of
readers who should have lived a hun
dred years ago, until these self-same
readers "stop my paper" or die intellect
ually. li.it we have no words of re
proach for these 'v recks of the past."
They serve a good purpose. By the use
of them we are enabled to compare the
newspaper of half a century ago with
the newspaper of to-day. And how
sharply-defined is that contrast, indeed 1
Of course tie mission of this "wreck"
is a very subordinate one, aye, it is a
menial one. But it is one very relig
iously performed by these antediluvian
"wrecks" of former ages.
CONK TO STAY.
To show how much faith Republicans
have in the sham civil service law, and
the hopes which they entertain that its
enforcement will result in a purification
of the civil service of the government,
it is only necessary to call the attention
of our readers to a conversation between
a congressman and President Arthur a
few days ago. The President asked
the congressman what he thought of the
civil service bill. "Good bill. Enables
members cf congress to soldier with
their constituents. If a fellow comes
along we don't want to help we can
say, 'My dear fellow I'd like to help
you but it's against the law. I would
be liable to punishment if I did."
"But suppose a friend comes 1" said
Gen. Arthur.
Ob, if a friend comes he is come to
stay. Under the new law we can get
all we want witheut the nuisance of
begging for it." For all of which we
ate not disposed to throw our hat very
high over the civil service law.

Mr. J. S. Conlter ef Salem, writes an
article in the Statesman ia which he
notices tho fact that W. K. Boothby,
Architect, and Superintendent of eon-
stniation of the Insane aJylum had
taken a business trip to San Francisco,
and alleges that his business is to look
after improved machinery for the water
works of Salem, in which he has large
interests, and also for machinery for
heating the Insane Asylum, and inti
mates, that Mr. Boothby is to receive
$8,00 er day from the State for servi
ces in- its behalf. Mr. Coulter also
says that Mr. Boothby went to t 'alitor
nia last winter for his health, taking
hia physician along to build up his
health, and that during all tho time be
was there bo drew his rogular $8,00 per
day. Now it will bo remembered that
from the beginning, Mr. Boothby has
had charge of the construction of the
Insane Asylum Building at $8 per day
which to an ordinary mortal would
appear to be munificently liberal, even
if he were closely employed every day.
But ii it be true, as alleged, that he
receives $8 per day- from the State,
while be visits California for several
months for bis health, or whor, at an
other time, he goes to California to get
new machinery for the Salem water
works ia which he has large monied
interests, we are compelled to join with
Mr. Coulter in protesting against any
such unlawful use and squandering of
public fends. This protest ef Mr.
Coulter appeared in the .Statesman of
the 17th inst., aad on the asmo day
the haily Talk of Salem announced
the receipt of a letter from Mr. Booth
by informing the writer of his early
return at which the Talk says ; "We
may now expect important improve
menu in the water works all the
modern improvements and appliances
for the health end convenience of
consumers." From which it would
appear thst Mr. Coulter is on a very
warm track.

When Republican aewspacrs are
repeating the stale slander that the
Demociatic (tarty is made up of whis
key -gutz' era, it would be well for
people who are setking truth, to look
into such facts ai the following .
There are 100 drinking saloons in
St. Luis. Tbia is in a Democratic State.
There are 4000 drinking saloons in
Chicago. This is in a Republican State,
whose laws ai made by the constituents
of John A. Logan, who now looms op
as a Republican candidate for Pissi
dent Chicago has more than twice as
man) saloons as St. Louis, aod yet, the
opulatIon of St. Iouia is tour fifths of
that of Chicago. In the whole State
of Missouri there aro but 3300 dram
shops, 132 wine and beer, 35 drug
stores that retail liquor under dram
shop licenses, and 74 groceries which
retail under dramshop licensta, making
a total of 3C0 1 . There are more drink
ing saloons in Chicago than in the
whole Stale of Missouri. We farther
desire to call the attention of the earnest
candid searcher after truth and facts, to
the statement of Gov. Foster, of Ohio,
who lately said in his messsge to the
Legislature, of that state, that there are
more then 10,000 retail drinking places
in that State and the traffic probably
exceeds $70,000,000. It will be seen
from this thst the Republican State of
Ohio with one third more population
than Missouri supjiorU rnoro than four
times as many saloons as the latter,
which is one of the most permanently
pronounced Democratic States in the
Union.
We think we might interest our
readers by the further statement that
by the instrumentality of local option
laws there aie eighteen counties ia
Missouri where dramshops are not
licensed at all. Comparisons are said
to be odious, and we hope that in this
case it will have the effect to make
odious the hypocritical professions of
these Republican leaders who are con
stantly parading their professed virtues
before the public.
Tin,; gentleman was foully murdered
by II. Miller, his book-keeper, at Jacin
o, Cal., last Saturday. Dr. Glem waa
a very remarkable man. He was born
in Virginia, and served in the Mexican
War, after which he moved to Califor
nia in an early day with none of this
world's goods to begin life with. He
engaged in raising cattle at which he
was successful in a very high degree.
In 18C7 he moved into Colusa County,
where he purchased 2,000 acres of land
and went Into the grain business. Since
that time bo has added to his farm by
purchase, tract after tract, until bis
landed possessions cover an area of
55,000 acres, 45,000 acres of which are
in cultivation. His grain crop usually
amounted to 250,000 centals. In 1879
he was the candidate of the New Con
Btitntioti party for Gov. but was defeat
ed by G. C. Perkins. He kept in his era
ploy a great number of men and always
treated them kuidiy. His death will
be regarded as a public loss in Cali
fornia. His book-keeper had been
drinking a few days before the com mis
Rion of the horrible crime, and had
been discharged, which is supposed to
have been the cause of the murder.

The following dispatch is clippsd from
the Ban Francisco ItnMetin of a late
date :
Naw York, February 6th. -A morn
ing journal prints an interview with C.
P. Huntington, in which ho says:
"Out in California tho hoodlums have
elected a lot of representatives who are
witheut brains or money, and tbsss men
are just now trying to pass laws giving
the railroad corporations no right to ex
ist. In fsot, they are as wide of the
public interests as they are wild in
tbeir reasoning. They are a lot of
sandlot agitators, who do not know the
first principles of politioal or financial
economy. They forget that without
the aid of money to build their railroads
and work tbeir mines, they would yet
be living in a wilderness ; that Califor
nia and the entire West and South
west owe what they are to the energy
and enterprise of the men who have
risked tbeir money to build them up.
It is bat reasonable to expect that some
profit must accrue to the persons who
take these chances. Our Central Pa
cific road has done raoro to build up the
far West than can be estimated in dol
lars and cents."
C. P. Huntington commenced bis
business life as a tin peddler in the
Eastern States. He was then, like
many other men, poor ; but now, hav
ing, through a mere accident, become
wealthy, be assumes to be a little better
then the common herd. As a matter
of fact, there are but few of the mem
bers of the California legislature who
are not superiors of Mr. Huntington in
point of ability ; and if they have not
as much money aa be has, what they
have was acquired honestly. Tho his
tory of the men who compose the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad Comjny is a re
markable one. Reside Huntington
having started life aa a tin (toddler, the
two Crock era were journeyman black
smiths, working in a bloom forge in
Indiana ; end Stanford was a humble
grocery man. The entire combined cap
ital of all these men was less than
8 100,000, until they were favored by
the people of tho State of California and
the U. S. Government with donations
of money sufficient to build the Central
Pacific Kailroad, aod leave a surplus of
upwards of $17,000,000, which they
divided amongst themselves. The On
tral Pacific Railroad was built with
the people's money ; and now when the
legislature of California attempts to
correct the abuses beaprsl upon the
people by these tyrants, we aro favored
with u-.h re mark a as the above quota
tion. Is it not time that the people
make an example of this kind of men
that will answer for all time to come I

Nearly all indications iuw point to a
shert wheat crop next harvest. In near

ia nearly all parts of Kurope as well as
In the Ohio and Mlasissppl valleys,
while ia the Willamette valley the crop
is badly damaged by the frecse, but we
hops notao badly aa has been report - d.
The damage ia far greater In seme locaU
Itles than others. One farkner Informs
tw that his crop is damaged but little,
while hla neighbors crop is ruined.
Wheat thai waa covered with water at
the time tbe freeze set In, seems to have
suffered leas than wheat on high lands.
In some of the localities tbe oat erop
seems to be literally cooked by tbe
freese. while In attars it is not Injured.
Tbe weather is getting warm and
spring like aod the actual damage can
be determined In a few days. While
the farmers have been badly damaged
by the freeze, yet it has not been with
out Its good effects They inform as
that much benefit will be derived from
tbe killing of wild oats, which seem to
have been killed wherever it had
sprouted. Another advantage derived
from the freeze is tbe fruitful, mellow
ooadltion In which cultivated lands are
left Berne farmers think these advan
tages will almost compensate for their
st.es. Tbe prospect for good prices
for wheat next fall were never better.
In fact, when we consider the emigra
tion that will teem intetha north-west
country next summer and fall, we aro
led to believe that everything which
the former haa to sell will sell at high
prices for ossh.
We think now Is the time for every
farmer to put forth every energy iu
producing wheat, oats, barley, potatoes
and preparing fat cattle, bogs and
sheep, for the fall market.

everyooe will have a nice time.
Oo last Friday Mr. Goo. (, Blake
1y went to Portland and on Monday
returned In charge of a guest, Mr.
Jackson Griepplnnsiraw, formerly of
Brownsville. It seems that during
Mr. (i's residence here his general
influence was sucb with our principal
business meu that ho endeared him
self Into tbe affections ef tbe people
so dearly that they got lonesome
(about one hundred dollars worth)
when ho left and they could not well
get along without his assistance.
Consequently our councilman Mr.
Htaareiy was legally authorized to
search for tho lost sheep. Result
much rejoicing, sing "Ninety and
ulne."
From notices and other reports we
infer that the cltlxens of South
Brownsville will assemble masse
next Saturday and consider some
subjects among which it tho subject
"Local Temperance.'' No doubt the
meeting will be woll attended. If
saloons aro good and exercise benign
influences, all good societies, such aa
churches, lodges, and oven all fathers
and mothers who love their children
should by all means encourage every
saloon in every way and thus encou
rago theso philanthropic institutions.
The Meyer mill is doing much
work at the present.
