ENGLISH'S FORECLOSURE SUIT DE
MURRED OUT OF COURT.
. From returns already received it is
no longer a question as to how the
presidential election has gone ; it is
only a question of how great is the
majority for Garfield and Arthur. So
far it is quite apparent that ever)'
northern State, Nevada perhaps ex
cepted, has given its electoral vote for
Garfield by good majorities.
This result must be accepted as the
pronounced judgment of the Ameri
can people that the time has not yet
arrived when it would be safe to trans
fer the management of governmental
affairs to the keeping of those who
sought to disrupt the government. The
time has not yet arrived when those
who have made such sacrifices for the
preservation of the union can safely
trust with power that party whose rec
ord has been against every effort put
forth for the preservation of the union
and protection of human liberty. The
clamor for a change rested upon no
solid foundation ; peace and prosper
ity gave the lie to all pretense that a
change is needed to give increased en
couragement to industrial pursuits and
protection to labor. Returns from Pa
cific states are yet too meagre to give
certain figures or to base well founded
conclusions as to results but it is quite
evident that frauds were perpetrated
in the counties along the border be
tween Oregon and Washington Terri
tory by the importation of Hancock
voters. This, with the persistent lies
and misrepresentations concerning
Garfield's position on the Chinese
question, has swelled the vote for
Hancock and English in Oregon and
California ; while the contest between
the bonanza kings of Nevada has re
sulted in the victory for James G
Fair against Senator Sharon.
The election is over and once more
we turn with a feeling of relief from
the political field. For several months
past our columns have been of neces
sity filled with political matters, but as
the smoke of battle clears away our
time and space will be more nartirn-
larly devoted to the great interest of
our state and county. To us thi
change will not be an unwelcome one,
and we trust our readers who do not
agree with us politically will. fonmJn
the past few months, give us the same
cheerful encouragement in the future
that they have so long extended to the
VjAZETTE.
The telegraphic dispatches are quite
mu.uuiiuoas in reports from various
primers in tne state, but not enough
a yci Known to make certain the re
sult. So far as reported Garfield is
ahead about 500 votes.
James Anderson, one of the lead
g c ttle men of Oneida county, died
5 r lays ago from blood tumors.
THE PEOPLE AND RAILROADS.
Compare for a moment the geo
graphical condition or the Coast line
of Oregon with that of the 250 miles
of corresponding latitude 00 the
Eastern coast. There nature has pro
vided abundant outlets, and every
few miles a city and port open their
gates to the Commerce of the world.
Internal communications by railroad
and highways connect the interior
country of the Eastern States with
the outports by the sea. With every
centre of city life the force of com
petition comes into play, and rival
railroads strive for as large a propor
tion as thev can secure of the freight
age of the district, while competing
lines ot steamers cairy on me war 01
rates.
Oregon is differently placed. The
one groat outlet of the State lies
along its extreme northern boundary,
where the Columbia river, with
obstructions only few and far be
tween, offers a highway of seven
hundred miles to our growing trade.
The Willamette, noble tributary to
the great Columbia, during eight
months ot the year, is also an open
road for the commerce of the State.
When the white men entered
Oregon and built for themselves
homes and founded cities and towns
and villages, their first communica
tions lay along and by the borders of
the rivers ot the State. As civiliza
tion spread, so the needs of more
rapid and closer lying highways were
felt. Settlers banded themselves
together for common works on roads
and bridges, and what the labor of a
few and the money of the struggling
pioneers were unable to effect, was
done by associated capital from out
side the State.
And th lis the road companies, the
steamboat companies, the bridge
companies, and then the railroad
companies were formed. What had
been dedicated altogether to public
use ; what was, and would ever re
main, in all essentials, public prop
erty the iualenienable rights of the
people tor themselves and their de
scendants freely to travel the high
ways of the State, were of necessity
encroached upon to give capital in
ducements to come to this far West
ern land. Tolls were established on
roads and bridges; ferries were al
lowed to be fixed on the rivers;
steamboats commenced to ply for
hire on the internal wateis of the
State ; then came the railroads,
choosing the passes and crosings of
our mountain chains, traversing our
valleys ; but hitherto seeking the Co
lumbia river at their extremity or
along their course to carry to the
outside world the freight and passen
gers they bore, or to bring in and
distribute through their means the
comforts and luxuries of life the
State was yet too young to furnish to
her children. But, thank God, our
birthright has, as yet, been sold for
no mess ot pottage. When men
would form themselves into corpor
ations and so gain strength by asso
ciation, the legislature rigidly pre
scribed the method of such forma
tion. Foreigners, whether citizens
of the State, or aliens by birth, were
not to dominate the State. All of the
Directors of most companies, and a
majority of those of Railroad and
Canal companies were "to be citizens
of this State, and thus, by keeping
home interests involved, by retaining
the inspiring forces of the corpora
tions under the domain of Oregon
laws, and at the bar of Oregon pub
lic opinion control was exercised
here, at home, and a wise precaution
was taken, which we trust to see con
vinced to all time, that where the
powers of the corporation were ex
ercised there they should be limited
and confined by law.
But more ; it is conceded on all
hands that the limited rights ot
ownership over the highways and
roads of a State granted through the
Legislature of that State, (in such a
matter the representative of the peo
pie as a whole) are to be exercised
primarily for the public benefit ; that
while contracts with a corporation,
so far as they remain within the do
main of the law, ought to be rigidly
respected, yet that a firm govern
ment be kept up against encroach
ment; and the rights of the people
respected in the contest ever being
waged between the private rights of
the individual citizen and the grind
ing principle of monopolies striving
ever alter a daily increasing power
and control.
What are tne points that a corpor
ation operating and striving to con
trol the highways of the State, is
certain to attempt to make its own ?
First, To so hold the naviga
tion of the Columbia river that
competition there by steamboat may
be impossible; and, to this end, eith
er to own every steamboat plying for
hire on our waters, or by artificial
methods to cripple and drive off every
independent line. Do any' natural
facilities exist which may be turned
to account for this selfish end ? Let
the portages and the railroads there
reply. Have we never seen 30 and
35,000 tons of freight, waiting atone
time for transit ; stored where the
winter's ice had caught them, and
when usurious rates of passage
money paid by the farmers of the
upper country to carry their produce
to a market were not enough to in
duce such a simplification of and ad
dition to the company's means of
carriage as to enable that market to
be reached ? Have we never known
a reasonable competition to be crush
ed out by the goods carried by an
independent line being mulckd ex
orbitantly over the narrow pass de
livered over for a time, and let us
hope oov for a time, into the con
trol of the monopolists ? Have we
never kuown preferential rates of
passage money and freight to be of1
fered as an indaeeinent only where
competition existed or was threaten
ed, to be doubled and rendered crush
ing in their weight where no such
competfftjon as yet was felt ? Was
the Columbia enough ? The Snake
river, bounding our State along its
Eastern side might surely escape
from the grasp of the one corpora
tion ? No; the wide valleys only
just being opened to settlement and
cultuie, were instinct with lite;
while the setlers were poor, whilst the
produce was yet trifling in volume
and value; whilst there wan as yet
no bond ot union or power or resist
ance among these infant communities
then was the time to bind them in
iron bands and cynically to an
nounce a policy of meeting at the
farthest ooint. and preventing the
establishment of what they were
wittily pleased to call opposing in
terests in our own territory. Was
there no remedy ?
Senate bill No. 82 prescribed for
Oregon the same which has proved
effectual in older States. This was
no empirical attempt; no fanciful
heal all for these ills. But an effort
to reassert here our ancient and in
herent right?, to restrain this vault
iusr ambition of the corporations. To
say to them thus far and no farther
shall vou go. Within just limits as
sociated capital shall clvim its right
to appraise the services rendered by
it and its own estimate. l he
should be no attempt in hard and
fast lines to . say how many dollars
and cents so much transport is worth.
To fix these things correctly there
must, be an intimate knowledge of
the special circumstances of each
case; of the cost of construction, of
maintainence and ot working eacn
section of a line. This knowledge,
this power of delicate adjustment the
legislature neither has nor stiouia
claim. What we do say, what we
demand in the name of the present
generation of our people, and ye
more loudly in the interests of those
large multitudes to be attracted here
by just laws, and a pure and -firm
administration, is this, that no one
corporation who has acquired the
right of any coutrol 'however partial
over any of the highways of our
State shall have the power to close
its lines against passengers or freight
from whatever quarter they may
come; nor to weight one district
town or person more heavily than
another by saying to this one we will
carry for so much, and to the other
from you friend, we demand so much
more though the same service is in
each case demanded and paid. The
bill was framed in the interest ot all
but it did not pass. Let the people
demand, to know the reason why
Senators are accountable to their con
stituents for every exercise of the
power of obstruction, as well as for
their advocacy of measures submit
ted to their judgement, and we be
lieve that it was no secret at Salem
that unless resort had been had to
obstruction when the bill was sub
mitted to the Senate it would ere
now have been law.
IT IS ALL TOO TRUE.
Me. Epitor. The Hon. President
of the Oregon Senate is receiving the
right kind of treatment ; just what
he richly deserves, all the cheap puffs
paid for no doubt, in which the words
"honorable dealing, impartial rulings
etc." occur entirely toooften are mean
ingless, in the presence of those who
witnessed the action of the gentleman
in his efforts to throw discredit on the
Oregon Pacific. TJu fortunately for
Portland and the State there is a class
of men, and Hon. Sol. Hirsch is one
of them engaged in business there
that seem to think every enterprise
should be put down unless the com pan y
or corporation take the precaution of
establishing its principal office in that
selfish city. There is something silly
if not contemptible in this spite, be
cause it can only be justified by sup
posting the great State of Oregon,
containing many counties larger in
area than Rhode Island is capable of
supporting but one city of 20,000 in
habitantssothat any other pointthough
150 miles distant might prove a dan
gerous rival. The people have a
small conception of how far this feel
ing of alarm reaches. To illustrate,
Mr. Hirsch introduced a bill early in
the session relating to Assignees. It
was an innocent lookrbg bill, but un
der its provisions a merchant doing
business in the valley or elsewhere in
the State might have obligations in
San Francisco with two or three firms
amounting to say $7,000 and a debt
in Portland with five or six firms ot
$5,000, a majority of his creditors in
Oregon could throw him into bank
ruptcy, and proceed to appoint an As
signee. It is quite plain how this
would work. San Francisco and
Eastern people would be loth to
credit, hence, Portland would be
benefitted, but the serious point was
this, in the event one ot these valley
merchants should be elected to the
legislature and it became necessary
under the influence of that night
mare constantly disturbing the peace
of Portlanders, to oppose legislation
not directly in the interest of that
city intimations would reach the mer
chant, a shadow of coming disaster,
and if be was not made to see the ef
fect ofdisobedienceit wouldbebecause
he bad more nerve than at least two
Honorable gentlemen of the session
of 1880 whose record stands to-day
against the policy in the future of
putting men on the legislative ticket
who do a credit business with Port
land. Rialto.
Oct. 30, 1880.
SLANDER.
An nely word heads this article. Let us
see what it means. The dictionary says,
slander literally, scandal, a false or ma
licious report; defamation by words; calum
ny. " Then let us look out scandal. Here
is the reply. "Scandal literally a trap
spring, snare laid ior an enemy ; something
said which is false and injurious to reputation..
Now for an illustration. This a new
country and as it is settled up many a site
for a town is found. Suppose one is located
and as usual a store is opened. But it is far
from a city, roads are bad, haulage costly;
therefore the goods are not of first quality
and the poods very dear. The storekeeper, Mr
Oreanden let us call him prospersbecause folks
must have flour and bacon and beans and
coffee, ribbons for the ladies and tobacco for
the men. But the farmers are poor and
keep poor, and a dim sort of idea gains
ground that the town is large enough and
tne country enough settled up to hare a
second store, that competition, may improve
the quality and lower the prices of goods.
Naturally the storekeeper objects. But
he has been obliged to lest some
of tha merchants know the truth to
keep his own credit up, and get his goods;
and he is compelled to keep on sending on
his orders, but he tells the merchants all
the time that his customers all love him, and
will never spend a cent at a new store ; and
he tells the merchants, if any questions are
asked of you mind you frighten every man
away that presumes to think of setting up
in my territory, and this he does though
hitherto he had been praising up everything
to the merchants as No. L So matters go
on for a year or two, and the storekeepers
wooden building gives way to a fine brick,
and he buys land all rouud the town, and
gets hold of all the stock in the bridge that
leads to the town, and he gets a charter,
and he nominates the town council and ap
points the mayor, and runs the fire depart
ment, and his goods are no better and his
prices rise.
But the country settles up, and wheat
and wool come in and people begin to talk,
and at last they make up their minds, that
this thing is too thin, and if the truth were
but known about the trade of the place
more stores must be built and eomiietition
must bring prices down.
So some of the outsiders, who have not
borrowed any money of Mr. Oreanden, and
owe him no more than they can well pay
get together and find out how many farmers
trade with the place, and what wheat and
wool come in, and how much flour and
bacon and sugar has been handled the last
j year and all the rest of it. And they sign
their names to the paper which shows the
figures and after some trouble they get it
into the newspapers. After a little a man
with a head on his shoulders sees this pa
per, and thinks, why this Oreanden must
be coining money at this rate. If things
are so surely there can't be any difficulty in
getting the merchants in the big city to
supply goods fon a new store, or even two.
So he enquires for himself and finds that
the people that signed the paper are honest
men and have told the truth. Whereupon
he prepares a nice plain circular which
mentions the position of the town ; and how
many people there are, and what they need,
and tell3 of' the facts the folk have got to
gether about it, and how they signed the
paper that appeared in the newspaper. And
then he goes to the great city and sees ail
the merchants and sends out some copies of
his circular. Soon Mr. Oreanden, the fat
storekeeper, hears of thi3, and he bites his
nails and scratches his head, but no good
comes of this, for at last he realizes that the
town is not his, that the inhabitants are not
his slaves, they can trade where they please
so long as the don't owe him any money,
and that as sure as the sun rises they will
leave his store for the new one if it sells
better and far cheaper goods. And he thinks
the merchants will supply the goods too if
they believe this circular.
'Is it too late to stop it? Says he to him
self. Perhaps 1 can make out th3se people
that signed the paper a pack of liars, and
this new trader a fraud; and then the mer
chants won't supply the goods and the new
store can't be opened, and my bonanza goes
on again. Can I do it myself ? says he.
That won't do, for in the first place every
one will gee my game, and in the next I
have been telling those merchants all the
time what a good thing I have got. I have
it. There is the Mayor, he will say what I
tell him; never mind that he knows no
more of storckeeping than a sheep does of
the ten commandments, and besides sup
plies me with butter. These men in the
citv don't know that, and he is a fine fel
low to lock at and so responsible too, and
then how well he manages that town coun
cil; so civil he is to that poor fellow from
up South and holds his party together. Yes,
that is the way out of it."- Did it answer?
say you. Well, that remains to be seen.
What did the town people say about it ?
Did the merchants tinid it out ? The sequel
will show.
Now go back to the heading 'otLthis ar
ticle and its first few sentences, and read
this from the San Francisco Morning Call
of Oct. 20th:
"Pacific Coast Telegrams. Oregon's
Bad Legislature. Portland, Oct. 19.
In the State Senate last evening the pros
pectus of the Oregon Pacific Railway Com
pany, of which Col. T. Egenton Hogg is
President, was read in a speech by one of
the Senators, who denounced it in bitter
terms, characterizing it as false in its state
ments, dud a fraud in its face. The bill
under consideration, which was a bill to
provide for interchange of traffic by com
mon carriers, was indefinitely postponed."
Do you see it ?
we have the spectacle of these two
newspapers bolstering up this condi
tion of things disasterous to to the
nterests of the people. Nor is this
all, they urge on Congress the neces
sity of completing the Locks and im

lished J. N. Dolph's majority report
on Senate Bill No. 82, and attempt
to give it importance by significant
head lines and that is as much im
portance as can be claimed, for argu
ment certainly there is none made.
But remember that this little bill of
20 lines made competition on the Co
lumbia riverpossiblelhopethatno one
will contend that competition on that
noble river would not be beneficial
ever since ex-Senator Mitchell made
his great speech on au appropriation
for the Locks and read a notice of
the O. S. N. Co. refusing to receive
freight from any landing landed there
by a boat of another line. The same
discrimination has been going on
practically shutting off any opposing

Cathartic Pills
Combine the choirest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex
periment, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases, caused liy
derangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt anil effectual
treatment. Aybb'S Pills are specially ap
plicable to this class of diseases. They act
directly on the digestive and assimilative
processes, and restore regular healthy ac
tion. Their extensive use by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations,
is one of the many proofs of their value as
a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative
medicine. Being compounded of the con
centrated vujuea of purely vegetable sub
stances, they are positively free from calo
mel, or any injurious properties, and ran be
administered to children with perfect safety
Ayf.r's Pills are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic,
Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.
