OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
THE SHOWS AND HUMBUGS.
For tie last several days our town
has beea mumerousiy visited by quite
number of catch pennies and hum
bugs,, styling themselves shows, en
tertaimeuts, &c. About the only
- nrominment thing which they are
capable of accomplishing is to get
the people's money and then most
successfully humbug them by not
giving anything in return. Our peo
ple as a class are liberal in patroniz
ing what ever comes along in the
way ot respectible amusements and
far this reason they are the more sue
essfully hmjbuged. During the last
i Yiirftn ij ii has been inflicted, it
seems like,, more than ever before
with suck class of people who evi
dently are too cowardly to steal and
too lazy to work and as a next resort
to escape starvation and bilk the
public, they secure a lot of old ragged
slothes add some two bit costumes
and start in the show business. The
Willamette valley people certainly
possess a gentle disposition and much
respect for themselves or they would
certainly at some time when the usu
al Wlk of a show comes along, loose
their temper and administer to some
6 departing troup a do3e of genuine
rotten eggs, or ride them on a rail.
It is true that such an infliction
would be a disgrace lor any people
to administer, but some people loose
self control! after being' successive
victims of repeated humbugs. We
are glad to know that the people of
Oregon possess that high degree of
intellect which enables them to sufler
such impositions and also control!
their good temper. If the several in
corporated towns in Oregon would
dial with a lot of these traveling vag
abonds by punishing them under the
vagrant act, which is usually incor
porated in the laws of our towns, it
would have a tendancy to make -a
less number of such humbugs and a
greater numder of worthy entertain
ments. THE PBESEKT ADMINISTRATION RULED BT
"BOSSISM. '
It seems that Arthur was not satis
fied with the disgraceful scene which
occurred little more than a year ago
at the New York legislature, in which
he stepped down from his position of
President of the United States Sen
ate, to assist in manipulating the
Conkling machine politics of New
fork, the disgraceful performance
which resulted to bring about the
sad death of Sresident Garfield of
which Mr. Arthur feigned great sor
row at the time. Recently, however,
in the late repubiioan nominations
.for that state it appears that he has
prostituted his present high position
by lending the influence of the pres
ent administration to interfere in be-
v half of the Republican politics of
.1 . i . . i - ; . . c ii
u Mte iu tue lULeregb or iwr.
Conkling's machine politics. The
late nominations there were not the
choice of the republicans of that state
bnt were made by Conkling's (hench
men, assisted by Arthur's influence
to effect it. It would seem to any
oneof com men sense that an acciden
tal official like Arthur, who owes bis
position to the assassins deadly aim,
would not put on so much style re
garding party nominations in the
states. Explanatory of his course,
however, it must be understood that
Arthur belongs to the "Boss" system
of politics. Mr. Conkling is his
"Boss." Mr. Arthur owes his public
career to such "Boss." He was nom
inated vice-president because '-Boss"
Grant and "Boss" Conkling had been
unsuccessful in the convention which
nominated him, and it became neces
sary in order to keep Mr. Conkling
from assisting to defeat the ticket, as
be did not.'get Grant nominated, to
do the next thing by putting on one
of hisf henchmen for vice-president,
and that benchinan was- Mr. Arthur.
After the presidential election was
over and "Boss" Conkling found that
he could not- use Mr.. Garfield as a
henchman it became necessary to
bill His influence. Hence he resigned
bis position as TJ.. S. Senator and
went about the disgraceful oppera
tion before the New York legislation
in order to secure his re-election,
warmly and earnestly assisted by
Mr. Arthur. They failed, however,
in their original efforts to kill Gar
field's (influence utterly failed as
bis influence constantly grew strong
er every day, and his influence is yet
gaining. The efforts of Mr. Conk
ling did 'not fail in one thing, however,-
they so excited' the disappoint
ed brain of Guiteau that he took it
in hand to remove President Garfield
by assassination, which proved a
success, in removing Garfield to give
the place to Arthur. Mr. Arthur, by
a long train ot events for years, owes
his present occupancy to Mr. Conk
ling. If Mr. Conkling had perform
ed the part of a white American pit
izen and conducted himself decently
towards Garfield and his administra
tion, it is hardly probable that
Guiteau would have fired the fatal
shot. As Mr. Arthur "owes his pres
ent occupancy to Conkling's efforts
at "Bossism," hence he pays a return
to "Boss" Conkling whenever he re
quires it. The people would likely
fare better if "Bossism" was at an
end, so that when presidents were
elected by the people they would not
be moved by the effects of "Bossism"
and "Bossrule."
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
If the eighteen republicans in the
present legislature have based their
opposition to J. H. Mitchell for Uni
ted States Senator on good and suf
ficient grounds, it would be inconsis
tent with such pretensions for
them to vote for Mitchell if there
is any chance to elect another repub
lican who is competent for the posi
tion. On the other hand, however,
it must be remembered that the
legislature is largely republican
which entitles the people of Ore
gon to a republican senator. The
republicans ot Oregon have sent their
senators and representatives from
their respective counties for the pur
pose among other things of electing
a republican United States senator.
While Mr. Mitchell's election is not
suitable to many of the republicans
of Oregon, yet after the opposing
eighteen have exhausted every pos
sible effort to elect some other re
publican more suitable to their taste
than Mitchell and finding they can
not succeed in doing so, after which
should they vote for Mitchell they
cercainly would not be responsible
for his election instead of a man more
suitable to the wishes of their con
stituents. It certainly seems to us
that republicans although opposed
to Mitchell will expect a republican
United States Senator to be elected
even though as a last resort it should
be Mitchell. Yet the eighteen who
have so steadily opposed him certain
ly cannot consistently vote for him
unless it is as a last resort and to
save a vacancy.
PROHIBITION THE DEFEAT IN OHIO.
The Ohio republicans in their re
cent election aside from the Machine
interference of the present adminis
tration, was defeated by the ex
tremeists of the temperance people
who demanded nothing short of
absolute prohibition and nothing less
would they have. While it is cer
tainly the duty of all mankind to be
temperate in all things and to incul
cate temperance principles to all
mankind so that after being properly
educated upon such questions they
will live temperately, yet the result
in Ohio shows that it is certainly not
wise to attempt to force ultra ques
tions of prohibition upon a people
the mass of whom are not educated
to the point of tolerating such ex
treme measures. Among such a
people even though prohibition iras
enacted it would be impossible to en
force it, because the majority of the
people were only educated to t'..e
point of opposing it.
PARTY REVOLT IN CREOON.
From the New York Times.
The long struggle over the Sena
torship now going on in Oregon
illustrates the laxity of party
discipline. It' may be said that
it also illustrates the persistency
of a certain class of politicians. The
Republicans have a fair working
ing majority in the Oregon Legisla
ture on jfiiiit ballot, and it would be
well nigh impossible for any com
bination to be effected for the elec
tion of a Democrat. At a prelimin
ary cameos of a majority of the Re
publican members of the Legislature
ex-Senator John H. Mitchell, was
declared the nominee of the party.
This result was not reached until
after a sharp struggle; and to the
credit of several c-f the Republican
members, it may be added, there
was an instant repudiation of the
nomination by members of the party,
who declared that the caucus nom
inee was unfit to be returned to the
Senate.
The more independent of the Ore
gon Republicans refused to abide by
the decision of the caucus. In many
quarters this act would be "treason
able," and would forever bar from
party communion the men who
bolter!.. It is not known what pun
ishment will be visited upon Repub
licans who decline to support tor the
United States Senate a man whose
very candidacy they deem a disgrace
to the Oregon Republican party.
They should have voted for him,
according to strict party rules, al
though his reputation were spotted
all over, and his various aliases were
numerous and confusing as to his
identity. But the action ot these
wayward members of the party has
undoubtedly defeated Mitchell.
Public opinion was largely against
Mitchell, so that he was forced to
resort to the usual expedient of
printing a campaign paper of his
own, pending the Senatorial election,
as no Republican newspaper was
willing to advocate his election.
That variety of disaffection which is
known as "treason" has widely ram.
ified throughout the Oregon Repub
lican party. In desperate cas ee.
Mitchell and his friends secured a
few votes from the Democrats, but
not enough to make his election sure.
It is a nice question in political
ethics if a bargain by which a candi
date procures support from an op
posing political party does not
absolve those of his own parly who
have been pledged to him. Tijitcuell
was ready to do anything to draw
to himself Democratic votes euough
to insure his election. But be un
doubtedly urged that for a Republi
can to refuse to vote for him was to
commit an act of party treachery
which could only be fitly punished
by casting the offender forth into
outer darkness.
Whatever may have been the
motives of the bolters, they were
sufficient in number to prevent an
election, and there has never been a
Democratic reinforcement big
enough to elect Mitchell. In this
embarrassing state of things, the
name of a compromise candidate has
just been suggested. It is evident
that Mitchell cannot be elected. The
bolting Republicans have solemnly
vowed that no power on earth will
force them to vote for him. The
most promising of the newly named
candidates is Mr, Richard Williams,
who was a Representative in Con
gress from Oregon in 'the forty-fifth
Congress, serving from 1877 to 1879.
Mr. Williams is a lawyer of repute,
and was elected over LaFayette Lane,
Democrat, by a small majority.
Should he be chosen to the Senate in
place of the regular caucus nominee,
his election will be a thiDg almost
unprecedented. It will be one of
the few triumphs which party inde
pendence have gained over tyranous
party discipline. In any event Ore
gon may bo congratulated on its es
cape from being unworthily repre
sented in the United States Senate.
More Star Route Developments.
Philadelphia, Oct. 16. The attorney
general was asked to-day what had been
done in the star route bribery cases and
what was being done, and answered very
promptly that much had been done in prob
ing the matter to the bottom. A great deal
ot testimony had been taken and much
more was to be taken j that it would be im
polite now and irregular to disclose any of
this evidence, aa it would put some of those
accused and guily men on their guard, but
this much ho would say, that within a few
days those persons in the department of
justice who had been used as spies by the
defendants and who appear to be deeply
complicated in attempts to corrupt jurors
on behalf of the defendants would be ar
rested; that he had ordered this upon the
evidence now before him. The defendants
some how or other having obtained a knowl
edge of the attorney general's intention,
and knowing also that he had possession of
indisputable proofs of the guilt of these in
struments, would within a day or so
abandon those men and furnish a sensation
al article disclosing facta that were all along
within their knowledge, taking credit as
public informers, because they fear if the
story is not told by them the sudden arrest
of their instruments would be fatal. To
avoid this effect it is believed a publication
is to be made.
TELEORRMS.
Tucson, Oct. 15. General Cook has is
sued the following instruction for the guid
ance of officers commanding troope stationed
on the several Indian reservations in this
department, with a view to bringing the
straglingband3 and families still at large
upon the reservations and to serve as a
nucleus for the establishment of a civil
government.
New York, Oct. 15. The Commercial
Advertiser says: It is time the American
people understood the issue passed upon in
Ohio. The aggressions of the larger beer
and whisky party must be met by the con
scientious, moral and intelligent friends of
trood government, just as they met the ag
gressions of the slave power. We do- not
favor making the republican party a tem
perance party. The republican party in
days past was aot an abolition but a con
servative slavery party, respecting the
rights of the south within the law. The
republicans must meet this rum question as
they met the demon of the south. The
question of regulating the sale'! of intoxica
ting drinks is fast becoming a national ques
tion, The people of the south are making
it a ptominent issue. In most states south
of the Potomac temperance organizations
are springing into existence, much alter the
manner the anti-slavery societies were be
ing organized forty years ago in the north.
We realize that intellectual and well mean
ing men will differ in regard to the details
of the law for the remedy of an evil or the
enforcement of any right. JRealiaing this.
we hope the republican party will have the
courage to speak for itself. The production
and traffic in, and the use of alcoholic
drinks are problems that challenge the
most earnest consideration of the highest
intelligence, because they involve a ques
tion of the highest political and social im
portance. Wheeling, Oct. 15. The majority of Gen.
Goff, republican candidate for congress, con
tinues to increase as the returns come in .
A most remarkable lead of republican gain
runs through nearly every county in the
district. For instance, Wetzel county, the
democratic Gibraltar of the district, only
returns a democratic majority of 354 against
over 800 two years ago. Only three of
eleven counties of the district has given
democratic majorities, and there much loss
is shown. GofTa majority is about 850.
Last reports frdm the second congressional
district looks favorable for John VF. Mason,
republican . A special to the Intelligencer,
indicates about 50 majority for Mason. The
latest from the fourth district, where Judge
'Loomis, of Parkersburg, republican candi
date against Eustice Gibson, shows a large
cut in the democratic vote, but not enough
to elect .Loomis. The democratic majority
in the state will be reduced six or seven
thousand. Kig, democrat, goes back from
the third district.
New York, Oct. 15. The Evening Post
says the election uf Folger now appears to
be utterly impossible. Even the party
managers know it, although they do not
openly say so. The defections in the re
publican ranks are enormous, and are irrem
ediable. They are mainly among a class of
people who have waited long, but, having
made np their minds, are not easily fright
ened or cajoled. Sympathy for Folger per
sonally will no longer stem the current.
The entire problem the republicans have to
solve is how to make his defeat useful to
the cause of good governraont and party too.
They should make it such a defeat that
everybody must understand its meaning.
It should bo clear that it ia not the result
of democratic skill or their increasing popu
larity, but the work of republicans them
selves, who are determined to emancipate
their party from vicious rule and restore
t3 moral vitality.
Salt Lake, Oct. 15. John T. Caine, who
was nominated by the Mormons as dele
gate to congress, has never been a polyga
mist, but is an earnest and bigoted Mormon,
who will go to Washington the acknowl
edged representative of the church. Hooper
was the choice of the people but the church
leaders refused to accept him because he
wanted the Mormon convention to declare
itself in line with the democratic policy and
put in a plank for the separation of church
and state.
Columbus, Oct. 15. Official returns trom
the different counties are coming in very
slowly on account of scratching on all local
tickets. As the returns come in from the
different counties it looks as if the great,
sweeping victory claimed by he democracy
would dwindle down to only a small ma
jority. The democrats are considerably
surprised. Morey and Hart have been
elected, but they seem satisfied because they
have a majority of the delegation.
Columbus, Oct. 15. The official vote of
Stark county completes the official vote of
the eighteenth district, and shows the elec
tion of McKinlay over Wallace, for cen
gress, by eight votes. A contest ia talked
of. This makes the Ohio delegation stand
8 republicans and 13 democrats.
On the returns received it is estimated
the democratic majority in the state will be
adout 10,000 only.
New York, Oct. 15. The civil service
reform association, of Brooklyn, has passed
resolutions denouncing the interference of
the federal administration in the politics of
this state as contrary to the declaration in
favor of civil service referm, embodied in
the republican national convention upon
which the present administration was elec
ted, and as utterly opposed to the spirit of
our government.
Indianapolis, Oct. 15. The liquor men
and democrats talk loudly of what will be
done next month. The republicans are also
hopeful and say there ia much dissatisfac
tion among the democrats, by which the re
publicans will profit. Gov. Hendricks says
Indiana will surely go democratic. The
people oppose the tampering with personal
rights oi men by the legislature.
Bloomington, 111., Oct. 15. Great ex
citement is felt at the little town of Secor
Woodford county, near El Paso and about!
twenty miles from Bloomington, over the
discovery of high grade silver ore in Pan
ther creek, a small branch of the Mackinaw
river which flows among ragged hdls and
precipitous bluffs about a mile east of Secor
on the farm of a well known physician.
One evening recently a stranger was discov
ered in the stream carrying a dark lantern
and apparently searching for something.
Being questioned he stated he had discover
ed in the bead of the stream quantities of
very rich silver ore and had been at work
for somejweeks developing it. The dis
coverer here produces evidence that he
has taken from the bed of the stream not
less than fifty pounds of very high grade
ore, samples of which he bad assayed in
Chicago and St. Louts and found to be
from sixty to seventy-five per cent, pure
silver mixed with copper. The discovery
has set the whole neighborhood wild, and
the whole community has turned out pros
pecting. Excitement and enthusiasm runs
wild. A feet of real interest in connection
with this discovery is that some years ago
in the sand of j Panther creek were found
the remains of pans, shovels, picks and
knives. At an early day mining of some
kind was carried on 20 miles away in the
barren hills. On the Mackinaw, near At
lanta, Logan county, for several years pla
cer mining for gold- has been carried on at a
profit, and at various other points on the
stream valuable minerals have been found
in small quantities.
St. Louis, Oct. 15. About half past six
o'clock thi3 evening, John A. Cockrell,
managing editor of the Post-Dispatch, shot
and killed Col. D. Slayback, a prominent
lawyer and well-known politician and ex
congressman of this-city. At present it is
unknown how the shooting occurred, and it
cannot be ssaed at this writing, no oa di
rectly concerned irt the matter has made a,
statement. H. W. Moore, city editor of
the paper, who was sitting at his desk at
the time, says while Cockrell, fblrn Mc
Guffin, the business manager,, and Victor
T. Cole, the foreman, were holding a busi
ness conference in the editorial room, Col.
Slayback, accompanied by W. T. Clopton,
entered the local room and passed on to
ward the editorial room, the door of which
was closed. Mr. Moore turned in his chair
as they passed by, and observed that Col.
Slayback, as he opened the door with his
left hand, had his right hand in his pistol
pocket, and in les3 than a minute after
Slayback entered Corkhill's room, Moore
heard the report of a pistol. He immedi
ately sprang up and, entering the editorial
room, found Slayback stretched on the floor
and Cockrelljjending overjhim, apparently
wiping the blood from his face. The ball
from Cockrell's pistol entered Slayback's
left side near the heart and ranged upwards.
Whether it entered the heart is not known,
but it must have penetrated the lungs.
Austin, Oct. 14. Serious trouble is an
ticipated at Rio Grande City, growing out
of the murder of the county surveyor some
days ago. The rangers have been asked for
to assist in preserving peace, but it is im
possible to furnish them, as the nearest
available force has its hands full in keeping
down the outlaws of LaSalle county.
The adjutant general just back from a
trip along the front, reports rich deposits
of gold, silver and copper in the vicinity of
Guadeloupe and Wasco mountains. There
has also been discovered extensive and rich
deposits of gold and silver near Carizzs.
New Haven, f Conn., Oct. 15. Wood
bridge, nen this city, claims the oldest tree
in America. It is estimated variously from
1000 to 1800'yeara olA To-day a pleasant
celebration was held under its branches.
The oak stands on a high hill and is a land
mark for 30 miles around. It is 27 ffeet in
diameter near the ground, and the limbs
have a circumference of more than 30 feet.
Although even centuries old its leaves are
glossy and its life vigorous. An association
has been formed to preserve it, of which
Ex-Gov. English is president.
Pensacola, Oct. 15. The boat of health
have issued an appeal for help for the suf
ferers by yellow fever. It says the people
are hnmmed in by quarantine, destitute and
nearly starving.
Portland, Me., Oct., 15. At the session
of the society for the advancement of
women, Mrs. Mary E. Foster, a practicing
lawyer of Michigan, read a paper on regu
lations discriminating in favor of single wo
men against married women. She also de
scribed many curious legal provisions re
garding married women.
Chicago, Oct. 15. Mr. and Mrs, Scoville
are besieging the courts with various bills,
cross bills, etc., directed against each other
and offending the public with the most
scandalous charges. Scarcely a day passes
without one or the other appearing in some
new place in the courts. Their bills are
generally of the least possible intesest and
their quarrels are actively promoted.);

Philadelphia, Oct. J9kA. Sumner of
Yale college was before thjjt tariff commis.
sion Saturday, opposing proHation and fav
oring free trade. He gave a s&es of pro
verbs for protectionists: JjMBf makes
wealth; destroy and prospeTBaxes are
wages ; blessed are the baa worEmen
foolish capitalists, for they shall

lish side of the question. Chas. M. Saul son,
a New York journalist, read a paper in
favor of free trade.
New Orleans, Oct. 16. Some months ago
the steamship Gresham, laden with corn,
had a hole knocked into her hull, and she
sunk at a wharf at Cincinnati. The under
writers sent divers and efforts to raise her
progressed favorably until to-day when 40
chains which passed under her gave way
and the steamer sunk out of eight. It is
stated no further effort will be made to raise
her.
Washington, Oct. 16. Mr. Armstrong,
commissiener of railways in the interior de
partment, who has just returned from a trip
over the Pacific roads, found in San Fran
cisco a good deal of complaint against the
charges of the Union and Central Pacific
roads, and more particularly against the so
called boycotting contracts which are in
tended to compel merchants to ship exclu
sively by nil, and so drive competing ship
lines out of business. The Pacific mail is
subsidized by the railroad companies to pre
vent its competition.
In order to drive sailing vessels out of
business the roads charge much higher rates
to merchants who send heavy freights by
sea than they do to merchants who send
only by rati. Special contracts for 1881
went a step beyond those of 1S80, and pro
hibited beneficiaries of the railroads even
from selling to those Who did not enter into
special contracts.
Washington, Oct. 15. The following
postoffice changes are noted for Oregon and
Washington Territory: Established Airlie,
Polk county, Oregon, Joseph A. Dalton, P.
M. ; Wilburton, Whatcom county, W. T.;
John T. Wilburton, P. M. Discontinued
Alto, Columbia county, W. T.; Coburg,

Washington, Oct. 16. October returns
of the yield per acre of wheat estimated
from the results of threshing foreshadows a
product slightly exceeding five hundred
million bushels, and possibly exceeding
520,000,000. The average yield per acre
appears to be nearly fourteen bushels on an
acreage of slightly less than, thirty-seven
million acres.
There is reduction of area in the spring
wheat region and a large yield in the great
winter wheat growing belt of the west.
Taking the highest figures indicated by
these returns of yield, distribution and pro
duction, gives two hundred and forty-eight
million bushels or nearly half the crop in
the United States to the six principal winter
wheat states. Ohio, Michigau, Indiana,
Illinois. Missouri and Kansas. The spring
wheat of the northwest may make 113,000,
000 bushels. The Pacific coast crop, which
has been persistently exaggerated in com
mercial estimates, cannot much exceed 44,
000,000 bushels. The middle states have
produced about 40,000,000 bushels, and the
southern states slightly in excess of fifty
million.
Kansas City, Oct. 17. A prize fight' oc
curred 12 miles from this city at 6:30
o'clock yesterday morning, between ASly
Sweeney of this city and Jack Manley of
Colorado, for $250 a side. The fighters
were athletes. Both have been in the ring
before, and bad put themselves in excellent
training for the event. 200 persona were
present.
Chicago, Oct. 17. Ex-Rev. George O.
Miln, formerly a well known pastor in
Brooklyn, and more recently successor to
Robert Collier as pastor of Unity church,
Chicago, made his debut aa Hamlet at the
Grand Opera House this evening, before a
cultivated audience physically measured by
the capacity of the house. His somewhat
sudden transit from the pulpit to the stage
engendered many partisan antagonisms and
friendships, and predictions of success and
failure were about equally distributed.
When Miln first appeared he was absolutely
self-possessed and acted with the ease of one
to the manor born. -The entire audience
applauded demonstratively, and after each
scene he was recalled. The general verdict
is that his Hamlet is a distinct individual
impersonation. Towart the last apjDjsjgjjjjjJy
