't mJ$ti tv- . THE OUKOON SKNTINK1. JAl'KillltV CLLK i "Wednesday, April 7 1830. EBITOBIAL NOTES. Some of the.papere in Oregon hwe toforo verv loud for Blaine are cooling off perhaps the severe winter baa af flicted them with chill-bluinf Secretary Schurz has ordered to be taken up for action the rarious swamp land matters relating to the State of Oregon for eirly decision The Post Office Department has ad vertised for bids for miscellaneous star routes, numbering 435 contracts, to be let in May and go into effect July 1st A writer of the New York "Sun," discussing the all-engrossing theme of Presidential probabilities, concludes by saying: "The opinion gathers, that after all and in. some way or other the outcome of Chicago will be Eliha B. Washburne." - The "Times" thinks we are greatly exercised with Tom JKent's candidacy. Not at all ! our solicitude is for the un fortunate citizens he gets his auger in to, and we are fearful he will have to talk Bomeof thm to death" before they "see it" just as he does. "We hear of two prominent Demo cratic candidates for the Sheriffalty, one in Sam's Valley and another in Eden precinct. Don't flatter yourselves gentlemen, the slate is made up and probation is all that is frft.. If. that suits you there is-plenty of it. Tho "Sunday Mercury" has been so hot lately that our copy is opened with the same rare as if it were a package of dynamite, or a susjtected "infernal machine." We touch it gently, while the boys absent themselves, as if ex pecting an explosion, and we beg the publisher x, mark any extra warm copy, "dangerous." Our neighbor has a most singular idea of' Democracy. A short time sinco Tie informed a wavering inemler of the party that "no man could be a good Democrat without ho did just as the leaders told him. Tho Democrat re torted that his idea of Democracy was just the reverse and that no, "jerker" owned or controlled his vote. Cheek 1 For this quality commend us to Gcn Joseph Lan. In the Dem ocratic' convention at Rosehurg he l-ni. Oi..l . .nlnftTl tifu1U!f ToV'LHLr I Qttnntnf WTa Liifilinucwl tll.4 fl-llA linn. I ciplo was: "that the office should seek tho man," but during forty years of close observation, of Democracv, we have never seen such a trancendaut exhibition ot'cheek. Who says the old man is in his dotage! Tho following is part of an ordinance just passed by the common coumil of Salem: "All persons under the age of twenty years, who shall lie found walk ing about the street; or who hhall be found in saloons, tippling houses smoking rooms or in houses of ill-fame, after the hour of nine o'clock at nigh', and all persons- wandering about the streets after the hour of ten o'clock it aighr, shall be deemed vagrant". At the Democratic primary in this precinct nine delegates were to be cho sen. Nine were nominated, and just as a manipulator rose to move that the nominations close, a party offered the tenth name, (Mr. Scheidler's) By the purest accident, of course, the- first nine were elected. This is none nfiour business, but it is news, to-wllil-H our many Democratic subscribers are enti tled to, and it .seems to have been, sup pressed by the "organ." - - Our neighbor is extremely anxious, that jealousies and "selfish considera tions" should be laid aside-liy the Dem ocracy, and bajrinouy reign. His plan of harmonizing is a continued dj-nuncir-tion of the large number, of .rps'iectab'e Democrats who refuse to be "jerked" to the olIs. or dictated to-as. "rag tags." Considering tho fact not yet denied, that he himself is on the slate for the best office in the county, tin demand that the oters show "unself $9h$CB8" is quite refreshing. The "Tidings" misinterprets the Sen tinel's, recent article on railroad pros jiocts. We have always acknowledged our Ashland neighbor's, earnest work in behalf of the w.agpn roadK and if its readers were half as earnest, and could scathe immediate and, prospective ben eflts flf the enterprisuin the Banjplig4vt its success would be assured.. Qw- re marks were for the people at large, -whora it appears difficult to awaken to s sense of their only mpansof salvation not to the press, by any means. '.'.The Sektjnel has jirobably not yet beard that Tilden, as elected h- a niajoritv of over a quarter of a million. Albany "(Or.) "Democrat "Whew I We didn't think it cojs$ the.old man that much; although he has just settled a bill of $17,000 with Hewettor election expenses, liesides the $5,000 that the attempt to steal )regou cost him, BAIU0.1D rnosrrcTS. Some papers seem to think the pro posal of Whiteaker and Slater to res cind the land giant to the O. & C. and C. t 0. Railroad companies a practical solution of the matter. We would like to behown the reason why. One Roseburg paper (the Indejiendent) ad mits that the railroad business between Eugene City and Roseburg is a heavy pecuniary loss to the. company, and still wishes them to push the road South to Canyonville. Now in the name of common tense, if the Central Pacific controlling the road to Reading- and the 0. ik C. company owning the toad to Roseburg, are appalled at the en gineering difficulties between those two points, what other comjiany (to be des ignated by the Oregon Legislature) will build a road with Rmeburg and Read ing as the termini, and sabjret to the mercy of two other cortorations! We offer a. solution that we think is prac tical and which might well be" consid ered by our representatives. There1 in within Jackson county about 'sixty miles of projected railroad line with a grant- of twenty sections of land to each mile; or an aggregate of 768,000 acres. Let this grant be diverted and given to a narrow gauge line to the mouth of Rogue River or to Crescent City and it would not lie twelve mouths until such u road would lie built by San Francisco capital. In similar manner let the grant in Doug- l.-is county be applied to the construc tion of a road to CooS Bay from Rose burg. and. there is no doubt but it would also ie built A long line of railroad will not materially benefit this section but a short route and low freights to title water, is just what we need and all we want The line to the coast would run through a section of country valuable only for titular, but utterly u.-eless until a road is built through it, and with such a bonus the road would surely be built The orig inal grant was intended for the benefit of Southern Oregon, but as there is-no dispositiim to extend its intende ilben- elits to us we have a right to demand that it be laid anew where it will do us some good and, in demanding it we are asking mere justice and no further concessions from Congress. THE OITLOOK. It is now said that the politicians " ' bo ""J-"-!' ltai'7 Grant's catidi- on the- Rlpt9can iarty. are - uhout- to get a quietus from the old enemlhimself.' Th'e opposition to the third term is so strong that it is now claimed that he will not accept the nomination, if tendered. If this lw the case he should have stopped the hawking alout of his name long ago, a the politicians have kept him for mouths in a fake position before the country. Washburne- stuck is looking up and his name, as a possible candi late, is morn frequently mentioned, which shows that the drift of opinion is away from both Grant and Blaine which, considering the bitterness of the -.trugglts for the- past three mouths is quite, natural and even Presideni Hayes has expressed the name views that we gave utterance to several months ago. There is but one objec tion the Democracy can make to Mr. Washburne he is the friend of Grant, but this fact will be one of his elements of strength and cannot weigh a feathers' weight against hint. Let Mr. Washburne be nominated and the Republicans will have a candidate that will reconcile all differences, unite all sections and combine in his support all the elements in the party, and whose election will not by any means be doubtful. WHAT Is LXtJlfT. As there is somp doubt in the minds of. many as to what is exempt from taxation,. w quote-the statute: Sec. & The jHTsnnnl property of every householder, to the amount of three hundred dollars, the articles m be seWted Uv sucil householder, shall lie exempt from taxation. Sec. 17. All' the jiersonnl projierty not exempt from taxation, shall be val ued at its true, value in cash, and it hnll be the duty of eauh assessor to value all improvements on claimed land within his county as personal property. "Claimed" land means land for which then; is no title, and it is clear that the claimant has a right to demand the lawful exemption from improvements thereon ai the law gives him the right to select such articles as he desires ex empted. Therefore if a poor man liv ing on a homestead or pre-emption tract, has not Rulfiuieab jprrsonal prop erty to amount to three hundred dollars he may demand the full exemption on his improvements. Woman Suffrage is said to be quite .successful in Wyoming. After a fair trwl, the ladies havo shown themsrlves capable o.f Yfttiug m intelligently as men, and instead of degrading them selves have really purified elections, Wisconsin tries it next.
