OREGON SENTINEL. JACKS';. YIXLK t Saturday, T4nuaht 21, 1882. THEANTI HO.XOrOLV TAttTr., Tt is true that Anti-Monopoly is one i f tho principal dogmas of Democratic faith, and so is Free Trade, yet Monop olist Democrats oppose these teachings -quite as numerously as Republicans de fend them. "Portland Standard." The above admission is. forced, un willingly, from our northern contem porary by the SsstriSKL.that has prod ded the shaggy lion of Democracy un til it howls with pain. The Sentinel only fired a blank cartridge, and is properly, "perhaps, but discourteously, certainly, called a flippant paper by the city daily. We are sorry that a harm less fusilade should have frightened the Standard and ruffled, its usually, equa ble temper, but if it prefers solid shot better it can have it. The Sentinel now challenges the Standard to show when, how, where and to what extent, any National Democratic leader ever espoused the anti-monopoly cause. Wasjt when James Buchanan vetoed thelTomestead bill, 'subsequently passed by a Republican congress and signed by Abraham Lincoln against tho dic tum of Southern land monopolists? Was it when Belmont, long Chair man of the National Democratic Cen tral Committee, stood at the head of National bankers and bondholders and made war against the three per cent funding billl Was it when a Democrat ic Legislature robbed the Oregon School fund of 200,000 and put it into the pockets of two Democratic capitalists, together with a monopoly of the port age at tho Willamette falls; when tho the People's Transportation Company offerod to do the same work for$125, 000? Was it when a Democratic Legis lature by an iniquitous "Pilot" law robbed the Oregon farmers of several cents, per bushel,, on their wheat by permitting exorbitant charccs, through a monopoly of pilotage? When did the Democratic party place itself on record as the champion o anti-monopoly? Was it when it espoused, the cause of Tilden who has grown rich by feeding on "monopoly"? Was it during the .time that party were in a majority, in both House and Senate, during the pasb few. jears, that it was placed on record as an anti-monopoly party? Perhaps it was when it passed the in fainoua swamp land act in Oregon; when Democratic members of the leg islature were ready to absorb millions t -of Jual -n-ith their "filings' te fore the ink of the Democratic Govern or's approving signature was dry? The Standard . ought to know where its proof is; before making a broad asser tion on so narrow a foundation and;, if it can kick out bankers, railroad magnates, steamship princes, manufacturing millionaires and aristo cratic seekers after office from the ranks of Democracy it may then claim that it is an "auti-monopoly" party. TUliLAAD UK A XT. Representative George will endeav or, in the present congress, to prevent the forfeituro of all "unearned"' rail road grants until January 1883. This includes tho grant of the N. P. and O. & C. railroads neither of which have been earned; on account of the finan cial embarrassments of the respective companies and their consequent inabil ity to build. So far as the O. &. C. is concerned, no loss will bo sustained by the government, or by the settler, in consequence of a three years extension of the grant which, at least, can have only a prospective value. Many years since, tho best lands embraced in this grant were taken by settlers and small speculators, who left only rugged and mountainous timbered lands for the company. These lauds, without a rail road, are comparatively worthless and unsaleable, and a road built through them will give those reserved by the government some value and insure their future sale. We happen to know the character of the land embraced in this grant and do not speak at random; when we say that it is totally unfit for agriculture and, in its prespnt isolated condition, almost valueless. If the grant were laid on lands susceptible of Eettlemennt and adapted to successful agriculture we should hope for the for feiture, of the fcrant, as no railroad com pany ought to ask a subsidy for build ing through a country capable of a dense and productive settlement As the whole country, along the line from Roseburg to Redding is just the reverse and as it is by no fault of the present company that the road is not built, we hope the time will be extended and the grant secured to it if it will hasten the building of the road or do the company any good. It is reported that tho new steamer Walla Walla will be sent from Port land to Hongkong with flour, and re turn with 1,000 Chinese to work on tho North Pacific railroad. INI I. IIP W That Old Land Stent. A communication from Mr. Jay Beach points to the probable object of a bill, introduced in Congress, to change the boundaries of the Klamath Indian reservation. The- bill is evi dently drawn in the interest of the "Oregon Central Military Road Com pany,, and if it does not contain a clause specially excluding that company from .its benefits it should not become a. law. That company are not entitled to any land from the Klamath marsh to the eastern boundary of the state for the very simple reason that they never built any road but merely mapp ed it, after running a chain over the ground they desired granted. Some years ago a bill was introduced in Con gress indemnifying this company for land they 'claimed to have lost by running their "paper road" through the reservation but it was defeated by the Sentinel, earnestly aided by tho Tidings, the Yreka Journal and the in fluence of several other California pa pers. This paper took the same grounds then as now; that it was a steal the only difference being; tho former was a steal from the settler, any where in Oregon-,, the latter an attempted steal from the Indians that ought not to be permitted. As for the Indian policy spoken of in Mr. Beach's communica tion if the Indian is willing to take his land "in sevralty," improve and utilize it, as a white man would, he should be encouraged in such a course which would ultimately enable him to support himself. This idea seems to be gaining ground with the friends of Indians more than that; of massing the various tribes on a few large reserva tions and its pratical result would be to sever his tribal relations and force him to feel his own individuality and understand its responsibility. Match Monopoly. The St. Louis Globe Democrat has discovered that the "Diamond Match Co." a corporation next to the "Stand ard Oil Co." has quietly purchased all the match factories in the United States and now enjoys an exclusive monopoly. So great is their business that in 1881, this company paid the government 4,500,000 for stamps Now what is to be done about it? It must be apparant that overy household in this ftee land is at the mercy of a "cruel and grasping monopoly" that, at any moment, might quench the lire on every American hearth and, through the right'to purchase and tho money to ,purchasewith, force man to gay an ad "Uitional half cent per box ,for his matches or become a non cooking ani mal. The Sentinel is unable to sue gesta remedy and respectfully refers the matter to the "Statesman" and "Stand ard." Let them but raise their mighty voices and demand that every factory, bought by the wicked monopoly, be re turned to its original owner so as to force competition and it will be done at once. The Sentinel confesses to crude ideas on the monopoly subject, unre fined by the atmosphere of the Capitol or the Metropolis. We had imagined that it was but the out-crop of a nat ural desire to accumulate and, we sin cccely believe, if either of the above papers were offered a monopoly of the press dispatches they would willingly crucify anyone who disputed their sacred right to enjoy it. The vapor ings of these papers is mere stuff and our intimation that it was a simple bait to catch votes as we are sorry to perceive, excited them to unseemly and discourteous anger. They may regain their temper while cracking the "matcTi monopoly nut," and meanwhile we will wait and see "what theyr'e going to do about it." Our suggestion is: that the anti-monopoljsts, who love the people so dearly, buy these factories, back and have them operated for the public ben efit. Hot Tiuc. An exchange says: "There is but one thing in all the universe to which n man is always faithful and which he never forgets, and that is himself." There was never a greater mistake than this often repeated statement. -Lwo-thirds of the sickness, povertv. want ana misery of human family are the result of forgetting to be faithful to ones-self. Many people who are faithful to others," habitually expose themselves to wet and cold, to all man ner of nedless hardships, and squander their own means, sowing the seeds of sickness, misery and poverty. Man always faithful to himself and mindful of his interests! Nonsense. Hospit als, poorhouses and jails, in every land and in every age, are standing wit nesses that he is not. It. would be better for humanity if the statement were true, but unfortunately it is not. "State Journal." The total cost of the St. OnrWd tunnel, which was opened lastSunday for the regular passage of trains, is 56,808,620 francs, something over 511,000,000. LAKE COt.YTV COUKCSro.MIClCE. The "Rural Spirit," of a recent date, referring to the introduction into Con gress of a bill proposing to restore a portion of Klamath Indian Reserva tion to settlement, says: "it should be approved' and the writer, thinking, perhaps, that the editor has said this much without a proper knowledge of facts upon which to base a decision, asks the privilege of presenting to the readers of the "Spirit" such facts as may seem necessary to a fair statement of the question, and of adding a few opinions, which, it is believed, are sub stantially these of the best citizens of this section of country immediately joining the reservation. The views of these people have been neither asked nor sought, by the projectors of the bill in question, while the stealthy, underhand, manner in which the bill itself has been brought forward; has aroused within them the suspicion; that the Military Wagon Road Land Co., having failed in their former schemes, are again after these lands working under a revised system of tactics. Now; as to whether this bill, as the "Spirit" says, "should be approved," depends entirely upon its provisions. This land was secured to the Indians, who have faithfully fulfilled their part of the compact, by treaty of 1864, and if it is now proposed to reclaim it up on terms not entirely satisfactory to tho Indians themselves, then it is simply a paltry, inexcusable steal. That tho bill contemplates no treaty of this kind, seems evident from the fact that no recent consultation, on the sub ject, has been held with the Indians the last one, of a few years ago, having proven an entire failure. As to the M. W. R. Land Co., it has been amply proven by investigation, that the United States was defrauded of mott of the large grant it owns; while the statement; that quite a large body of this "grant lies in this portion of the reservation that is to be restored to "public domain," (M. W. R. L. Co?) will more clearly show the relationship of this company to the proposed scheme of restoration. So much for the minor points of the case. Now; for tho justice of it. These Indians are, as a class, thrifty and in dustrious; are fencing portions of their lands, and engaging in raising stock, one individual with whom the writer is acquainted, having over 100 head of stock cattle after selling his beef steers. Abyut 150 of these Indians under Sconchin, brother to the one hung with Captain- -Xaolr, -arc AI0J0C3 rhoTT fused to join Captain Jack in the Lava Beds, because they believed our gov ernment would reward them for their fidelity. Capt. Jack, in pleading for their co-operation, told them that tho white man would taku these lands, too, from them, and even now his prophesv seems on the verge of fulfillment. Thank heaven, ho was hung for the treacherous betrayal, and murder of Gen. Canby, and not for a heroic struggle to preserve his people from the ignominious fate which even then appeared within the range of his keen prophetic vision, else what a tragic satire might have ben recorded in the annals of our history. Capt. Jack, however, refused to live on lands he had in treaty stipulated to live upon, and is, therefore, not entitled to our sympathy, but the proposition to dis possess the remaining Modocs nnder Sconchin, ought to bring a flush of bhame to the cheek of a brazen image. Finally, all of the Indians on Klamath reservation have been loyal friends and faithful allies of tli6 whites; their land the mildest and most valuable por tion of which is now sought to be taken from them lies at an altitude of from 4,500 to 7000 ft. above sea level, is too frosty for agriculture, and only adapted to stock-raising. Regard ing the charge that too much land ''per capita" is allowed them, I will only say that the reservation is, proportionately, as thickly settled as tho balance of our country, and is producing about as much as it would under white settle ment' All stock men, acquainted with our grazing country, realize the absurd ity of attempting a living by raising stock within the narrow confines of a qnarter section of land, and were these lands thrown open to settlement, thev would soon be in the hands of a few. If an attempt be made to remove these Indians by force, the writer hero regis ters the prediction that every acre will cost a hundred dollars to say nothing of a priceless sacrifice of blood," while the Indian, warned by our act of treachery, will be on the alert for new aggressions, till from a law-alidin,' ward of the government, he will become a dangerous, insidious foe, and a terror to our citizens. Our present Indian policy cosists mainly in the attempt to christianize and civilize the Indian in brief to encourage him to become like the white man, is the ruling motive of our government. That this unique and practical lesson in land grabbing, shall be with-held until he has reached a higher piano of civilization, is the ear nest prayer of the subscriber. Jay BEAcn.
