OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COurtTY AMERICAN POLITICS, Those cood old days wlucb "we. read about" when men of eminence unbeknown to them, and while en gaged in the daily avocations of life were called to fill important post tions of trust to the State and Na- tion have passed and gone. Now days the councils of the Nation and of the States when any important positions are to be handed around must be surrounded by several dif ferent armies of lobyist and hangers- on of different sex and species Every imaginable thing must be re sorted to in order to influence the actions and tamper with the con sciences of men who are elected to those different bodies to perform their duties with scrupulous honesty to their constituents. When one reflects carefully of the course and tendency ol American politics he is involuntarily reminded ot the degenerate proceedure of an cient times when the high positions of trust in the ancient republics were bought and sold like ordinary wares of trade and when the destiny of whole nations were influenced by passion and favoriteisra. The lovers of liberty and of the Republic of the United States of America havejioped that better results were awaiting American institutions. iui t:.e tragedy which was performed over the person of President Garfield growing out of the selfish, unbecom ing and disgraceful struggle in the legislature of New York 6imply for power and position and also a fre quent repetition or similar occur rences at the legislatures of other States causes reflecting American citizens to hope for a great deal and expect but little as to the future of American institutions. The session of the Oregon legislature at which Gov. Grover was elected was cer tainly a burning shame and fdisgrace to American institutions. Individ ual members who were elected to that body zander the most solemn pledges not to vote for Grover under any circumstances whatever when they arrived at the capital were the most earnest supporters he had. The inducement which led them to so sacrifice all principles of'honesty and integrity can as well be imagined as expressed, At the present ses Bion oi mat Doay an oilier senator is to be elected; whether at this session iL.i L I ... i - tuab.uuuy is to De Desieged by a horde of men and women of all shades and colors of character to in fluence any portion of that body in individual interests, we leave to eye witnesses upon personal observation of the scene of action. At any rate a stranger would certainly think that American politics is fast dwind ling into disrepute. THE CAUCUS. The idea that once prevailed quite extensively that the majority of what would constitute a legal political cau cus should govern the actions and future conduct of the minority even though the minority steadily and per sistently refused and objected to go ing into or having anything to do with the caucus has become repulsive and thoroughly objectionable to all sensible men. Such theory was the club which was used to beat the mi nority around to the support of Grov er when they had pledged themselves before going to the legislature against voting tor him under any and all cir cumstances. But they crave wav in that kind of bulldozing to the sacri fice of all honor and integrity to their constituents. That objectionable the ory is the most popular among ring politic ans and those who expect fa voriteism through the obnoxious anil thoroughly disgusting spoils system. When 3ny person goes to tlie Icis lature he should satisfy himself by consulting his own conscience that be s doing right and then go ahead. Whether it be to enter the caucus or ptay out of it. ENDOWMENT OP STATE UNTVEESITT. Since the legislature is in session information comes that Henry Villard is desirous of submitting a proposit ion to endow the Oregon State Uni versity upon certain conditions. Such a proposition coming at this time and in the manner in which it does ia very significant that something is iar out of sight. It is said that the amount of the en dowment, if accepted, will likely be $50,000. It is unknown what favora ble measures this Railroad monopo list wants from the present legisla ture, but with his Railroad schemes in Oregon in process of completion that amount of money wonld'very Jikelj be a small consideration with which to purchase the favorable ac tion ot the legislature. He could en dow that institution on the same safe plan that he paid the indebtedness upon It and then afterwards raise the price of transporting wheat a cent or two per bushel throughout the valley and make the whole back with compound interest in a single year. If be would take off the extra tariff when he had regained the amount of his endowment it would not be so bad. But it is safe to sav that Mi Villard will not give the Oregon V niversity anything unless he intends to regain it ten fold in some way. He s a iar seeing scheming individual whose aim in life is to monopolize and control the transportation lines of the northwest. Our state had best devise 6onie means to endow the Stale University and also permit Mr. Vil lard to build railroads without com promising the integrity or influence fth.e state. We A BILL TO REGULATE TRAFFIC. A bill to regulate traffic araon commou carriers has been introduced into the Oregon Senate by Clow, of Polk county. It is likely a bill with similar provisions to one introduced by the same member at the last ses sion. If so, .it is a good bill and should be passed at once. It will not find any opposition from members who mean honesty to the people. But if there are any there who owe great er allegiance to Henry Villard than to the people, they will oppose it to the bitter end. It may be that one of the conditions which that Railroa. magnate will require of the legisla ture in consideration of his endow ment to the State University is in turn for the legislature not to pass any such bill to interfere with or regulate bis trathc over his several lines of transportation. It may be that he don't want a bill passed to comnel . his lines to deliver freight to parlies directed when shipped part way over hib line. was rebuilt in accordance with law Mr. Billings stated that this certifi cate was necessary to enable the com pany to borrow money. Secretary Schurz issued the certificate in the face of the fact that a report was on file in his department declaring that the company was not entitled to the land because of its non-compliance with tlie law in building the road Thus the company sold its mortgage bonds on"Hthat land and road when the road was not completed and there was no title to the land. Can you point in the history of this country to another transaction of a similiar character ? Was it not just what was to be expected from an Administration conceived in fraud and living in hypocrisy? In 1881, after Arthur became Pres ident, this fifty miles of road was re examined and accepted. An exam ination of the records of the Interior Department will prove the truth of what I have stated, unless they have been changed within a week. N. Ms bunday-ge-to-mecting clothes.

Keady from this county, to amend the present law to provide a Board ot Canal Commissioners for the ca nal and locks at the Willamette Falls is received. By the bill the amendment ot several different sec tions of the old law is contemplated. One of the leading features ot it is to reduce the compensation required by the old bill for passing freight from 50 cts., to 25 cts., per ton. If t becomes a law it will reduce the transportation on wheat by way of the river f of a cent per bushel. A NEW WAY OF IMPOSING UPON THE GOV ERNMENT. A communication to the New York Sun of Sept. 7th, contains an account of a vilainons way ot imposing upon the government. If true it should be condemned by every honest citizen. We give it below as found in the Sun: Washington, Sept. 5. A most re markable case of the influence of a certain railroad corporation unon Carl Schurz has just been unearthed. In October 1880, a commission, at trr- head of which was Major Clark, Dep uty Commissioner of Pensions, was appointed to examine fifty miles ot the Northern Pacific Railroad irrat finished, and report whether it was constructed in accordance with i, By one of those mistakes which sometimes happen in the best of reg aled families, this commission ws composed of men who honestly dis charged the duty assigned them Of course Carl Schurz never contemnlat- ed such action. The.commission amined thooad, and December 18S0 made a report, recommending the re jection of the fitly miles, because it did not conform in its construction to the requirements ol the law. some of the rails being old ones tnlmn from other roads, the bed not being properly constructed, etc. Almost simultaneous with the filing of this report came a letter from Mr! Billings, President of the Northern Pacific, in which he pl- vate contract asrreeinr that if th Secretary would accept the road and issue the certificate which entitled it to 2,000,000 acres of land the com- reneat f bt Mr I "u" lo K lor a repeat that Mr.jpatent fo?. that .land until the road GOV. THAYER'S ADMINISTRATION. The Oregon City Enterprise, straight-out republican paper, very truly says the following of Gov lhayers administration. And yet the democratic organs of the State are so strongly attached to and in favor of the Grover administration that there is not hardly one that will even pass a deserving favorable com ment upon the administration of Thayer. It don't 6uit them at all, but Grover's manner of organizing the offices and rewarding hi3 party favorites suits them better. We be lieve in doing honor and justice to a faithful public servant, no matter what his political sentiments may be The Enterprise says: "The administration of Gov. Thay er is now a thing of history. On his accession to the executive chair he found the affairs of the State in great confusion, resulting from the profli gacy of the proceeding administra tion. The State was deeply in debt; its credit was debauched until its bonds were below par. A board of political leeches, fostered and fed by the carelessness or corruption of his predecessor had fastened themselves upon the body politic, and were fat tening at the expense of the State. ine oiaie was paying an enormous price for the keeping of the insane; had no asylum ot its own and no public buildings that were worthy of tlie name, lie can look back With satisfaction over the record of the past four years. The credit of the State has been restored and its bonds are at a premium. Its floating debt has been in a great part discharged; the "organized offices" bummers have been cast into outer darkness. The State now boasts a fine asylum built cheaply and paid for. More than that there is now left from the pro ceeds of the buildiiiir enouch tax- money to furnish the building and make it ready for the reception of the unfortunate occupants. To bring about all these desirable results. Gov.
