,fcag THE OREGON SENTINEL Jacksonville: i Wednesday, January 28, 1880 EDITOKIlt XOTI. The .Schooner "Emma Utter" was driven on a rock in Coos Bay during i the late gale and stove in. Swinging off and sinking, soon after, she became- n.n utter wreck. What is the matter with the Dem ocracy of Oregon? Every organ is crying "harmony! harmony!" which Reems to indicate that the voters are - inclined to assert their individual inde pendence. Henry F.LuksdoifF of Portland has been appointed Census Supervisor for the district of Oregon. Henry G. Langly, James R. Hardenburg, Alex. Dun and Chas W. Dana are the Su - pervisors for California. The "Independent" remarks editori- 5 ally: "The man who would argue Vrthe. power of nomination' must " exist in party leaders, asserts that the American people are incapable of thinking for themselves." The political struggle between par ties in 1880 promises to be a strong one. Perhaps like a struggle between a piece of limburger and a roll of bad butter for odoriferous supremacy: both may smell bad enough when the strug gle is ended. Mr. Tilden's friends announce that if the Presidential candidate suits him he will spend 5100,000 to secure his election. As Mr. Tilden always de nied spending any money for his own success his prospective magnanimity is immense. A dispatch dated Albany N. Y., January 20th, says: The "Argus" pub lishes a report of interviews with the members of the Legislature willi the 1 following result: Senators Grant, 11; Sherman, 1; Grant or Blaine, 1; non eomtnittarrll. Assembly Grant, -13; Blaine, 14; Sherman, 3; Conkling, 4; noncommittal, 18. While our neighbor is so anxious about the school fund now that the Board is composed of Gov. Thayer and two Republicans, will he explain a late transaction where a piece of property was ordered sold for SI, 900, when one of the Republican members of the Board, who had protested against the sale was absent; it being well known .- that it would bring 2,800 if fiold to " otlier.nartieiu. ,L -- -. The gravest charge made by the Democratic "address" committee . against the Republican party is, that it is in favor of a strong government. We assume that the object of govern ment is not merely the organization of offices for the benefit of office hold ers; but the enactment and enforcement of salutary laws. This being the cafe, if laws are just it is difficult to Fee how a government can be too "htrong." The "Sun" says: There appears to be a very great prospect now that com mon sense has resumed full sway in the State of Maine, -and that the decision of the Supreme Court will be regarded by all parties. The country has reason to rejoice. It is another triumph of free institutions. Even the Democrat ic party throughout the Union will hardly be seriously damaged by the ; frivolities and errors of its Pino Tree brethren." Had the frivolities and er- rors been committed by the opposite party they would have been styled "rascalities" and "frauds" by the "Sun." The "Portland "Bee" advocates the abolition of all Indian reservations, and demands that the Indian be treated like any other "foreigner" and taught to work for a living. We always sup posed the Indian was anything but a "foreigner," and that the Government had been long endeavoring to ascertain whether he could sustain himself or not when robbed of his natural means -of subsistence. The utterance is not felicitous in the organ of a party that demands universal humau justice, nor complimentary to our foreign born cit-zens. The following from Secretary Schurz is better, and more in accordance with the humanitarian policy of the Repub lican party: "If a peaceful settlement can be mode with the TTtes there is no one in the Department that desires to deprive them of their reservation with out allowing them the most liberal com pensation. It is thought by some members of the TJte delegation now in this city that a good many Indians will be willing to settle down in sever alty upon agricultural lands on their present reservation and yield the bal anco of the land to the Government, and that thoso who will not do this will go peaceably to the Uintah Reser vation." In some further remarks the secretary said: "I deem it my duty to do all I can toward settling the present difficulties without an Indian war and without doing injustice to any one."

Lane's com mittee has been published. It is gen tlemanly and dignified in tone, urging the rank and file to do their whole duty as voters, and insisting- that they "shall" da it. The Democratic party is-abjured to stand by the "time hon ored principles;" but, after a fair and candid examination of the address, we fail to find a single principle enunciat ed but that is "state rights' the prac tical test of which so nearly cost the nation its existence. It deprecates in plain language the attempt of the Maine Democracy, to subvert the gov ernment of that State, which, after the set back given to the conspirators by the Supreme Court of Maine, the com mittee could well afford to do The entire address is e'idently the work of Gen. Lane who is, no doubt, quite hon est in his convictions, but seems to be very far behind' the agtf and does not understand that there is a wide differ ence between the United States of to day and the nation of one hundred years ago. The materia! interests of the country are further advanced, far more diversified than the founders of the Government ever deemed it would be. The social and political status of nearly four millions of population has been reversed, and it seems unreasona ble to expect that political science will stand still amid material progress and the rapid and continued growth of new ideas. Indeed it would be quite as sensible to expect a navigator to make a successful voyage across the Atlantic with the steamboat first launched by Fulton as to expect the nation to be guided to-day by the imperfect charts of its founders that were after all on ly an experiment. The fancied dis tinction between State and Nationaj power Fs one without a difference. TIio National Government is created by the several States and if our represen tatives in Congress are honest and true there can be no danger. The doc umnnt should be carefully read by every Democrat, as it lias been decided by those who consider ttaniselvcs lead ers, that political rules mus, be laid down for their guidance. If they wi 1 carefully digest it they will discover that its real aim is to destroy true De- mbcracy by making the- voter a slave to the political machine of the who assume the right to dictate, and the ad' dress is not complimentary to the in- telligenceof the Demoaracy at large. THE EDITOR IX 0.GK13S. It is a singular fact revealed by the Congressional Record: that among three hundred and sixty nine members of Congress, there are only five editors one in the Senate and four" in the House. Here is a problem for the philosopher; a curiosity for the gleaner in the field of social science. Why is it thus? Why are the men whose labor, more than that of any other class, shapes public policy, so rarely se lected as the representatives of the peo ple? It may possibly be that from a familiarity with the inward insecurity and crookedness of the modern politi cian, that the editor is ashamed to sit in the company of those he has assisted to push their way into the national councils. The most reasonable hypothe sis is that the peculiar callling of the editor debara him most effectually from political position. He is in no sense a pullic servant, yet he is the most in dustrious laborer in the public service. His course must be straight-forward and concientious, whether be act in the capacity of a public censor, an advocate of the people, or a director of public opinion and the antagonisms aroused by a faithful discharge of duty aro too frequently so bitter and numerous as to distroy his personal popularity. In fact the editor is usually too busy to seek popularity, to independent to court it, to cringe to or fawn upon the favor of any one as the profession- al politician must do, and if he never gets to Congress, he lives in the satis faction of being out of bad company. The Oregon Sentinel enlarges upon the report of Chief of Police Lappeus and makes a great noise over the opium smoking practice of the metropolis. We are sorry that Mr. Lappeus saw fit to draw upon imagination for that part of Ids report Portland "Bee." If the editor of the "Bee" had taken the trouble to read Chief Lappeus' re port published in the "Standard" he would have perceived that we did noth ing of the kind, but published it ver batim. As he evidently is not as in dustrious as Mr. Lappeus, wo must con sider the "Chief" the best judge of the extent of the opium vice in Portland. The "Times" asserts that "it is the intention of the Republican Board of Land Commissioners at Salem to with draw from Jackson county every dol lar of interest money paid into the school fund." As the Board have just loaned a citizen of Jackson county 5,000 and Treasurer Fisher has been officially so advised the "Times" is prob ably alarmed unnecessarily. TUE SI5S0.V SlIT. Complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Jackson county on the 19th day of January, 1880, by Dowell t Neil attorneys for plaintiff in the case of Augusta Sisson, heir at Law of Dr. David Sisson, vs. A."D. Hel man, John R. Helman, Mary Jane Helman, M. J. Helman, et. aL This is a suit in equity to quiet title to real estate, and involving the title to prop erty in the town of Ashland, val ued at not less than 10,000. The complaint sets forth that Dr. Davfd Sissoji was owner of and in- peaceable posession of a certain block of land in the town of Ashlandr the title to which was based on a written contract for a deed for block No. 2 on the original plat of Anliland, given by A. D. Hel man to Morris Howell and assigned to Sisson. It relates that Dr. Sisson had erected valuable buildings on said block including a hospital, that while resid ing on the same on the 5th 'day.of April, 1858, when the plaintiff was on ly eight days old, he was shot and killed by an assassin, within sixty yards of A. D. Helnmn's front door, and that soon afterwards, the nouse in which Sibson was living at the time of his death, and also a house on the Sis son farm near Ashland, were burned by an incendiary who succeeded in burning the contract to Howell. Sub sequently, the complaint alleges: the plat of Ashland was stolen from the Recorder's office, and a new plat filed having an additional block and on which block No. 2 (owned by Sisson) was changed to block No.' 3, so as to destroy its indentity and defraud the plaintiff out of lot No. G in said block which had been deeded to her by L. J. C. Duncan,, who had purchased at Sheriff's sale under an execution against the property of A, D. Helman. The I complaint further sets forth that A. D. Helmsn, one of tho defendants, fil ed a third plat of the town of Ashland on which block No. 2 (claimed by the plaintiff) is not laid down with intent to defraud plaintiff and entirely des troy all evidence of her title. Plain tiff asks that certain deeds made by A. D. Helman to parties now in possession be declared void, so far as they conflict with her interest in the land, and he be compelled to make her a deed ac cording to the contract made to Howell and assigned to Sisson. If the com plaint be true it points to the commis sion of the blackest deed that was ever Jone in Jnckfon conjjfy, and iLprobed. the fact wovld be disclosed that ar.-oi , larceny of a public record and forgery wore used to cover it up, hide tho mur derer and rob an infant orphan of her property. m IKT fct'it.tJlBLE. The Democratic press of Oregon are commencing to apply the party lash, but our near neighbor advises harmony and less scrambling for offices as the easy way to victory. If this means anything, it indicates that there must be proper harmony among the voting element and less competition among the chronic office seekers, who always have their mouths open for a sweet morsel of public pap. In other words, the people, in choosing their own servants, must be like dumb, driven cattls, and the right to ask for public employment is only to be vouchsafed to the chosen few. And who is the victory for? For the- successful scramblers, of course; but the proposition strikes the casual observer as slightly undemocratic, as one citizen has just as good a right to ask for an office as another. Reduce the scramble for offices and what would politics amount tol Why the office is the very objective point intend ed to be gained by the sophistries and fino spun theories by which the people are hoodwinked, and the claim, that a competitor for a public place belongs to one party or to another makes him neither better nor worse. Competition is the life of everything, and wo assert the broad principle that every citizen in this wide country has a rijht to scramble for office and that the people at large have a right to select their own servants and express their own individ ual preferences without dictation from the few who desire exclusive privileges.
