THE OKEfiON SENTINEL JACKBOKV I1.LK I "Wednesday, March 17, 1880. Joiepblne County Republican Mass Con lcntlon. The Republicans of Josephine County Oregon, are requested to meet in 3Ins Convention at Kernyvillc on Saturday the 20th day of March 1880. at 1 o'clock P. M, for the purpose of electing two (2) Dele gats t. represent them in the Republican State Convention to be held at Portland April 21st, 1880. A general attendance is requested. By order of the Central Committee. C. II. Caldwell, Chairman. March 3rd, 1880. THAT "RACK DOWV" It seems the "Times is not yet ashamed of its part in defending the County Hospital contract and its offi cial management and desires further discussion. It says "the Sentinel has crawfished on the charges preferred against Judge Day." This is about as near an intelligent understanding of the English language as Mr. Nickell can arrive at; as our readers will per- j ceive that we left Judge Day, last week, in the position of a business im- '"becile", who permitted himself to be hoodwinked into a bargain, whereby the State Treasury was wronged out of a large sura of money for the bene fit of an individual, who if the only beneficiary must laugh in his sleeve at the little trick played on the stupid Judge. The charge of "collusion" was inferential; founded on a fair in terpretation of the contractor's own statement and was withdrawn from a w.nso of justice, at the personal request of the Judge; who declared that there was none. Thequestionof "collusion" was merely incidental, had nothing to do with the charge; that the State had been wronged out of SI 6 per week, for each non-resident patient, or that hu manity had been outraged and the county disgraced by Judge Day's sin gular liberality with the State money; and Judge Day's neglect to see that the contract was kept to the very let ter. Thcso charges ans bad enough and as they are fully proved, the Sentinel will stand by them. The gratuitous remarks of the "Times" about "mud slinging, slander and villi tication," come home most happily to itself; as we know of no paper, that forgetting, perhaps, its own vulnera bility, has descended so low as to allow its columns to be used to eject worn out filth it dare not throw itself. It is pleasant however to see in the " ven sn slight ""We or"So coney as a disposition to refer to it as fcomething to be observed by e ery paper but itself. The Sentinel rare ly makes mistakes, never wilfully, but if one is made it is honest enough to correct it, which is more than can be said of our neighbor who seems to have nothing but "polities" in his half emp ty cranium. THE "DIUK tlOBSF.." Every day brings fresh indications that the friends of the Republicans, most prominent in the struggle for the Presidential candidacy, are wasting their strength. The opposition to Grant is so decided, that he will surely never accept a nomination from a bare majority of the convention. On the other hand, the hostility to Blaine is so great, that in the event of Grant's de clination his strength will assuredly be thrown in favor of a third candidate and we firmly lielieve that person will be ElihuB.Washliurneof Illinois. If there is one feature moro prominent iban another in General Grant it is steadfastfriendship. To Mr Washburne he owes everything and he, hin.self, full of honors, to which another presi dential term could add no lustre, might well be expected to stand by the friend who never forsook him under any cir cumstances. Mr. Washburne is at jiresent our choice. He is a man of the purest character and the broadest- most liberal statesmanship and his candidacy would be an assurance of success. .His self sacrificing and enii- inent services to the Archbishop of 'iParis, while Minister to France dur .ing the memorable seige of Paris, stamp him as a man of nobility of character. Prompted only by the purest motives-, those services will never be forgotten and he would, undoubtedly, make an effectual inroad into the Catholic vote, cast heretofote, almost as a unit on the eide of Democracy. A Western man of "Hard. Money" principles, popular among the Germans, combining first elassabilitj',an unblemished publicrep utation and the very largest per bonal magnetism, Mr. Washburne would bo an exceedingly hard candi date to beat, but it remains for the wisdom of the Convention to decide who the standard bearer is to be and if it blunders, it will learn that conventions only make candidates, while the peo ple make Presidents. The Chinese exodus from San. Fran, to New York has commenced, the heathens fearing the loss of their queues if they remain on this coast The ex-queus is highly satisfactory. A JICCII XEEDEO IIEFonM. The late discussion with regard to the keeping of the State and County poor has given rise to a very general feeling throughout thin county, that the present system is entirely wrong. The public are awaking to the fact that the question "is one requiring the most serious attention and, indeed, the most observing regard it as one of increas ing magnitude. We may as well look the fact square in the face; that a yearly increase of the objects of pub lic charity may be expected. Many years ago a large population came here in the full vigor of manhood. Years of toil, not always rewarded, have bro ken many of them down and it is ap parent that, without means and inca pable of self support, they must soon become public charges, and it is the duty of those who have been more fort unate to see that they are properly cared fcr. In discharging this duty there is involved two questions hu manity and economy; the latter always secondary but of importance to the tax paying community. Th first considera tion certainly includes the question of commodious, comfortable and health ful accommodations for the State and county poor; but tl e present system, in this county, seems to be solely gov erned by the principle that the poor should be shuffled out of official sight and intq the keeping of any per son who will proide for them at the least cost, thus the question of economy is settled, notably at the sacrifice of the other consideration. Here in Jack sonville, there are as ample facilities for this purpose as in any portion of the county, and we ask any thoughtful citizen to point out, any place suitable in location, comfort, or sanitary ar rangement for the county poor, even here. This is one of the difficulties of the present svstem. Bids are invited, but there is little or no competition for the reason that no one can provide suitable quarters without building and taking the rink of losing the contract at a subsequent letting. It is, under these circumstances, manifestly the duty of the county authorities to erect a suitable building for the poor and then there would be plenty of worthv, humane, persons competing for the con tract to take caro of thorn. In anoth er respect the present system is wrong; that is the manner of letting the con tract for the keeping of the poor in a lump, as a pork merchant would con tract for thedelivery of ioto! moio ortS.i)n let "icr capita" at a stated week, and no distinction should made between State and Cuunty pa tients; then there could be no room for suspicion that they were not fairly dealt with, as it would be clearly the interest of the contractor to take care of them for his own prolit. Since the organization of this county, this ques tion has been a troublesome one and the absolute necessity of some intelli gent, definite plan for the care of the poor, and founded on decent humanity, is forcing itself on the public. It is a pity that our County Court cannot et out of a rut that has been follow ed for twenty years; and can only con tinue a svstem that has" long been a public disgrace, without being able to devise a better plan. We re-iterate that the county should provide the ac commodations and that they rhould Ik. ample, but constructed in the plainest way to insute health and comfort, and we believe that if this were done, competition would reduce the cost of keeping the poor sufficiently to pay the interest on the county's invest ment. At any rate, an immediate re form is demanded, one that will con form to the principles of charity and humanity and place it out of the pow er of future grand juries to show the imbecility of our County Court by re peated censure of the manner in which our poor are provided for. The relative position of the Southern Whites and their colored brethren ix most incomprehensible. First they affect to loathe and despise the race; then their love for the colored man is so intense, that they impose- a heavy tax on any one enticing him from the South. They seem to think the worst thing that could befall their colored brethren is an opportunity to vote the hated Pa-publican ticket. . - The late disastrous Winter will, pos sibly open tho eyes of stock men to the folly of accumulating more stock than they can feed in any emergency. Their course, heretofore, is like that of a gambler wlm doubles up his winnings, stakes them all on a single card and looses and they have no right to grum ble. Ex-Marshal Helms remarked quietly the day after the city flection: "You bet, when old jerk-line comes in, he makes Democrats stand round." He referred to an individual he said, "'who couldn't keep his finger out of the jtolitical pie, even if he knew there was a steel rap set under the crust hogs I EOTTLED'AT LliiT. Editou Sentinel. I see in the "Times" of the 2Uth inst a letter from Judge Day, in which it seems to me he has bottled himself at last He says that he was one of the County Court who made the contract referred to with Danforth. Now if Judge Day could get any one outside of a Democratic ring to say that the County Court at that time was anything else than a one horse concern and run by Silas J. Day, I would like to see him. It has been usual to let the contract for keep ing the poor in July, after the new board took their seats, but His Honor had a friend to reward, and possibly some enemy to punish, ami knowing he could do as he pleased with the old Board of County Commissioners, he saw fit to let the contract in June. The "Times" wants to know why Day is singled out from Anderson and Magruder? Tho "Times" knows or ought to know, that the contract was let by Day, before Anderson and Ma gruder took their seats. If Judge Day had waited till Anderson and Magruder took their seats, it would jterhaps have saved the two last Grand Juries the trouble of making the re port they did, and the shame to Jack son county, for. they pay liberally and well for'taking care of the poor, and they should be cared for. Now if His Honor has taken bonds for the faithful performance of a con tract and the two last Grand Juries say the contract has not been complied with, he certuinly knows his next du ty. T. O. T. The following from the Yreka "Journal"' is to the point, as Congress always appears ready to grant any con cessions asked for by" railroad compa nies: If tho railroad company does npt intend to extend the railroad through this county and Southern Oregon, steps ought to be taken towards res'or ing their land grant to the public do main, as titles will remain unsettled for ag's if Congress keeps on exten'ding the time for the building of the road without any certainty of the road ever being built, or at least for many years to come. The Congi ess-man from this district should hae attended to this matter years ago, but every man elec ted seems to become friendly to the big corporation as soon as getting in power and lets the matter alone. The one way probably to prevent the extension of land grant claim, with success, is to get up a big petition thioughout the territory where the hud is claimed, without any road building, or prospects -vvungress. vt n ;o that our citi- and holders, may er it and do something about settling the question of titles to land in possession of our people as farms, ranches and homes. Shooting at Albany. On Monday night a fatal hhooting affair occurred at Albany which replied in the killing of Clias. Taylor by Frank Wheeler. Wheeler was in Gilmore's saloon when Taylor entered in a state of intoxication and commenced abusing him. Wheeler wanted to lpave the saloon but was prevented by Taylor and at last the former diew a pistol and shot Taylor twice, the first shot severing his wind pipe aud the other taking effect in the shoulder. Taylor lived only a few minutes. Taylor was 27 years of age and the homicide was 22 years old and a son of Hon. Jason Wheeler. It is said that the) e was a woman at the bottom of the affair, but it is safe to say that if neither of the young men had been intoxicated or armed there would have been no killing. The "Standard" says: "The Demo cratic party owes a debt to no one." That theory is too fine spun for Jack son county; as certain parties herp claim a perpetual mortgage on the democratic party, and are never wi.l ing to have the debt cancelled. The "Mercury" true to its promise continues to dish up "hot cakes" but fails to supply the sirup. It looks as if the partakers of the "Mercury's" feast are to do their own sweetening. .
