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

University and also permit Mr. Vil
lard to build railroads without com
promising the integrity or influence

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

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.

The
NEW BILL.
A copy of House bill No. 5, intro
duced to the Legislature by W. P.
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-

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.
Thayer has labored with an eye
single to tlie public welfare and to
their accomplishment he has contrib
uieu in no smr.n aegree. wiule we

taken clemency that has marked his
exercise of the pardoning power, can
