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.

niajoritv of over a quarter of a million.

"Whew I We didn't think it cojs$

has just settled a bill of $17,000 with

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.
