One of the solid fanners of llogue river valley comes from -where tho sun is "pried up with a hand spike," hav ing been bom in St Stephens, New Brunswick in 1826. Receiving a com mon school education John struck out for himself, going to sea at the early age of sixteen, and at twenty-one was master of the Barque "Ada," "which vessel he brought to San Trancisco early in 1849. Turning hisressel o'ser to her consignees John pushed into the mines doing his first mining on Trinity river. Working a while on that stream -with varied success, harrassed by Indians and poorly suplied -with npuasions Jift4flyea oer tficjfi., jtKothe South Folk of Salmon, taying but & short time netoi-e pitching his tent on Scott river, -where he worked during the Winter of '50 nnd '51. Tired of mining Mr Watson purchased the Brown and Kelly ranch, the present site of Fort Jones, and for got among the waving fields of barley and clover the dangers of the -"salt, salt sea." In 1853 John made a visit to Rogue river valley, he sold out his Scott valley property and purchased in connection with his brother Stephen the Donation claims of Rankin and Gordon Bros., three of the finest loca tions in this valley. John tvidently liked turning up the rich soil better than ploughing the briny deep, bit he tired of single blessedness, and remember ing a bright-eyed little -woman Tffiss. Phoebe H. Hill, away back -where the the sun takes his morning bath in the Atlantic, -went back in 1859 and found her waiting. Returning with his bride in I860 John continued fanning and soon commenced the dairy business, which has been successfully carried on till the present In 1864 Stephen was killed in a battle -with the Northern Piutes. leaving his brother John the whole estate of nearly eight hundred acres. 5Ir. Watson is now in his 53d year, -whitened by time, but in the full vigor of manhood. Like "John Little John" he gives neither light -weight nor. short measure, and if a coin is spurious , " na? fr rf"TB JBmit t"'1 as BuH3!rTOSH!H!KflISn7 never mixing in politics except to vote for the best man without regard to party and is bound by the opinisn of no one buthiaself.

The proposed constitution of Califor nia is now being tested in the crucible of public opinion, prior to its adoption or rejection. The opposition to it is, clearly, that only of powerful corpora tions and wealthy individuals; while those in favor of its adoption are the middle and working classes. The fact indicates that the people are approach ing u. period of social revolution when it becomes necessary to restrain the centralizing tendencies of capital by wholesome organic laws. Sooner- or later every free government must pass this period if the people would retain their freedom. Wealth aggregates to -wealth just as isolated drops of quicksilver gravitate together and form a united body. Wealth is "the power behind the throne;" nay it is power itself, and the history of all popular Governments carved too sharply on their broken columns has been first poverty and patriotism, then, riches, cor ruption and decay. The present struggle in California is a social not a political one. It is a struggle on the part of the -working classes to check the power of capital; on the part of capital to prevent the aggressive re strictions on the part of labor. There can bo no other conclusion. The wealth and powerful press of both the great political parties reprtsentinc banking and railroad and other corpo rations are arrayed against the new constitution, while the hardy yeoman ry and laborers, without destihetion of party, am in its favor. It -will be well for the people at large in our sis ter State if their new constitution is adopted, -while their votes are potent and while the power is in their own hands. It is useless for capital to de nounce the advocates of the constitu tion as communistic or charge them with socialistic tendencies, and it is only by acquiescing in the salutary and restrict ive provisions of the new law that the danger, of actual communism can be long averted in that state. Our neighbor of the 'Times" is de cidedly unfavorable to a "litigant law." Whats' the matter, Bro Kickelll For four long years the "Times" basked in . the "golden" sunligh of a litigant lair. It filled thy purse with shekels and we lard not a murmur of complaint si now Uemocracy does change its ions sometime. KKaWYAI. 91 IB KIjUUTH dcmaks. A bill introduced into the Senate by Senator Slater provides for the remov al of the Umatilla and Klamath In dians to Washington Territory. We assume no right to question tin policy of removing the Umatillas from the homes reserved to them, but against the removal of the Klamaths -we enter an earnest protest We hope Mr. Slater has no serious intention of trying to accomplish the removal of the Klam aths, and if cannot think that he has fully examined the subject, or under stands either the immediate or ulter ior effect that will follow a violation of the treaty stipulations made with these Indians. We protest against any in terference with the Klamath tribe as against public policy, inhuman, a viola tion of faith and entirely unnecessary. In the first place it would precipitate an Indian war, costing probably ten times moire than thevaluegfhe land. cededtotheHribeby tSe treaty of 1864,' to say nothing pf the inevitable loss of life and property, that would necessa rily ensue. This tribe have never been at -war with the Whites, they do not desire war, but we are satisfied, will lay down their lives before yield ing upthe territory where they and their fathers have lived. If there is a feeling in an Indian's breast that is stronger than anather it is his love of home, and it is more especially strong in the mountain Indian than in any other. The policy of the government to the Indian is ostensibly founded on the principles of humanity and justice. It is not humanity to transplant a tribe from a high mountain region to the damp, foggy climate of the coast it is death, and if it is to be the policy of the government to destroy a race of people it has agreed to assist and pro tect the motive for removing this tribe would be apparent The removal of the Klamaths can not be justified even by the unworthy plea that the whites want their land, as it is of no value except for grazing purposes, and only valuable for that purpose when held in very large tracts. The fact, however, that Mr. Luttrell, of California, is in favor of the abandonment of the reser vation arouses a fair suspicion that a California Land Company, failing to' secure a "floating" grant, are now wil ling to accept the lands, ceded to this tribe. This movement is doing vio- lr.praThft pGwgxjfJjjJfcpl government towards a tnbe that has been peaceable and loyal during every Indian -srar in South Eastern Oregon. It will jeopardize the life of every fam ily in Lake county without any cor responding benefit, immediate or pros pective, and if the question were to.be. decided by a vote of the settlers in th. county we are convinced that they would oppose the removal of the Klamaths. We hope the press through out Southern Oregon tod Northern California will join in protest against any interference with this tribe, and that Mr, Slater will defer action until advised of its necessity by the people who are most deeply interested. X SECESSION SHOtiT. In the State of Mississippi is pub lished a newspaper bearing the name of "Southern States," which gives vent to its feelings, desires and expectations in these words: "Yes, thank God, we have captured the Capital, arid in 1880 our man will walk up the White House steps and take his seat in the Presidential chair. Then will our. glorious triumph be complete; therwe willproceed to tear your amendment from .the Constitu tion, and trample them in the mire; then -will we braalc the shackle you have forged for the free, sovereign and independent commonwealths of the Union; then lwill W recognize the rights of sesesslon, a right" that is not dead, but sleeping. Then .will we dec. orate the Capitol with the pictures of .Davis and iee, Stuart, and all the glorious leaders of a cause that is not lost, but living still. Yes, thank God! we have captured tho Capitol, and from that coign of vantage -we propose to rule the republic in a -way that will make your Radical laws and your Bad ical leaders forever odious to America." How does this suit our Democratic co temporaries? T A few years ago Democratic mem bers of congress denounced Republic ans for passing the "election law" as a "rider" to an appropriation bilL The act was considered a Northern outrage of the ssost infamous nature but now they are furious because" the President will not permit the repeal of that law in like manner. All of which goes to show the reformatory character and unchangeable principles of modern Democracy, and it is surprising how closely Democracy follows Republican ism in everything that ia considered wrong and unfair. Governor Thayer has pardoaed and remitted the sentence of 46 convicts nca his term of office began. CIBWS MAT. A shcrt time since the Salem "Mer cury" remarked that the muster rolls and other papers relating to the Mo doc war were in Washington. It was a singular and inexplicable circumstance, and no reason was offered why these important documents were abstracted from the State archives. Suddenly the papers re-appear, a copy is procur ed by the "Mercury" and the contro versy regarding alleged frauds in the public service is re-opened. Defended by the impenetrable armor of facts and figures, that paper now demands that the Investigating Committee retract the "false accusations" against certain officials, threatening to inflict on the public a detailed and itemized account of every transaction of the war. This is mere child's play. There is not the least doubt that the "papers" in pos session of the "Mercury" are perfeot; bey balance to the utmost nicety anifaccount-most concIusively"iorevery dollar drawn from the treasury. If they do not then the labor and travail of a celebrated "paper expert" has been in vain. Nevertheless we be lieve these papers to be false and made to cover up frauds that will be expos ed if ever the attendance of witnesses can be compelled by a court When the "Mercury" proceeds to publish the accounts will it give the names of the parties from vhom one hundred and sixty-eight thousand pounds of oats were purchased? Will it specify who sold about "one hundred tons of hay' to the Statel Will it explain why the commissions of the Quartermaster and Commissary Generals are dated Dec 2d, when they only entered the service on February 26 th! It's proposed ex hibit will be an imposition on itself and on the public and will only be laughed at in Jackson county as a good joke, where there is so much substan tial evidence of Modoc war frauds that has not yet been put on paper. If the "Mercury" desires to honestly serve the public -without deceiving itself it will conclude that the accused parties be tried by a competent tribunal and cease tts whitewashing process. We have perused a copy of a little work called "The voice of the Stars," evidently the production of a lunatic. It predicts the most fearful convul sions of nature, pestilence, famine, an archy and other disagreeable -things aslJ TO'e eirect UI ttiaMHg&T xTrJteiWWl': Jupiter, and Saturn, from 188Q to 1888. Among the other remarkable predic tions is.one that Grant will be elected in 1880 and re-elected in 1884. If we are to have the dreadful 'Perihe lia," with its attendant train of evils, 07 au means let us nave urant as a counterbalance. Otherwise, hurrah for Blaine. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Proposals for Arm?
