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."

the DLiinritATic adeess. '
The address promised to the Demo
cracy of Oregon by Gen. 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.
