ORECOI SEHTIHEL. JACKSOKYIIXK I Saturday, March 25 1882. TlmhrJuttae. ' Th late tragtdj in Lake county, malting in the death ofan innocent san while in the discharge rf hit duty xi one of those lessons that, from time to time, i forced on a community in '.which lax administration of law grav itates to the other extreme. Lawless ness is hard to defend, in an individual is generally inexcnsable but when a large-number of citizens, such as com posed the Linkville mob, undertake to punish crime there must be a serious cause underlying their action. Can it not be found in the fact that since the organization of Lake county there have been thirteen homicides and not a single conviction! People become rest less and impatient under such a state of affairs and it is little wonder that one extreme it the sequence of the other. It is the fault of the people themselves that crime goes unpunished. It is the result of a false code of morals that justifies the knife and pis tol and admires the blustering bully. It is what may be expected of coward ly juror who-tto-not dare to say "guil ty" and who go into jury boxes full of false sympathy for crime always ready to strain and magnify a. "doubt" for the benefit of the prisoner. Until communities learn to do their full duty as citizens in assisting the officers of the law in its administration they must expect violence and lawlessness and ex pect to pay for its consequences. We donot justify lynch law nor advise it, but' only point out that it is the legit imate result of a failure on the part of communities to enforce the law when they should and the people of Lake county may well reflect on the lesson that has cost the- lifo of on innocent vi:tim. At the Wrong: Endi Congress seems determined to make a. reduction of about $80,000,000 per annum in the taxes, which is certainly very desirable, but it seems to our un tutored mind that it is begining at the wrong end of the list. The most of tho reduction is to be made on liquor and tobacco; articles of pure and un necessary luxury which any man or woman would be better without,, and it does look as if it would be far more sensible and infinitely more just to siake a reduction, on' articles of prime necessity and let the tax on those two special articles stand as it is. It will simply be a- loss of that much revenue as the machinery for collecting the tax will be just as expensive as ever, and it is surely not wisdom to cheapen the price ofan article that is already used much too extensively. As this is not a strict party question ft will be intei csting to note the vote on the bill if it oomes up for final passage and we hope it will be defeated. CblBts Bill PaMcd Both Home of Con cms. The Chinese restriction bill of Mil ler, of California passed the House of Representatives on Thursday by a vote of 177 to 65 after nearly a week of wrangling over it. It now only awaits the President's signature and it is. hardly possible that he will refuse to sign. it. The bill passed as it came from the Senate, without amendment, and its final triumph will be the cause f much rejoicing on this coast. Those who-have voted for the limitation of a very undesirable population have view ceived the measure from a common sense stand point and recognize the same right in the nation to exclude Chinese as an individual has to shut his door against a tramp. In the debate on the "Polygamy" bill in the House of Representatives Williams (Republican) of Wisconsin said, that there could never be a jus tification for flagrant and open violation of public morals and public law. "Moraonism, with its adjunct polyga my, robbed vice of its hideousness and claimed the- divine approval of God. Thus intrenched it challenged criticism and defied attack. It developed and destroyed the family foundation. It removed every cornr-slone of Repub lican institutions, and in turn controll ed the ballot-box, commanded Courts, and, if entitled to its demand, it might command the nation, man ships, march armies and exercise all the powers in its defense. While he would perse cate no man; while he would give the widest liberty to conscience and relig ion he would say to Oriental paganism with its customs and demands: Thus far and no farther; where the clear water of the Pacific kiss the pure Bands of onr western shore, there you shall, pause in the presence of the aajestie -power of the civilization of the nooaday of the world." Applauie. J tfww &. svrFMrr. During the last qsarter of e cen tury, a wonderfully rapid transforma tion has been going en in the public mind c the subject of popular educa tion. The discarded Benthaent that the public schools, as far as they are supported at the public expense, should provide for the indigent, and that the course of instruction prescribed for them should consist only of the ele ments of reading, writing and arilhme-, tic, has yielded to the accelerated prog ress of civilization and the demand of every enlightened community for uni versal and more liberal education. The modern idea of human equality has shattered the old notions of a mo nopoly of learning by the wealthy or privileged few, and the broad question, whether the state in its soverign ca pacity is not directly interested in the education of the humblest of its chil dren, has received an affirmative an swer, and the educational policy of a large majority of the states has been moulded in accordance with the pro gressive popular verdict. In a few of our younger commonwealths and in some of the older ones where institu tions are fossilized, and ideas a century old, and in a perfectly congealed state, are daily served up in the shadow of race and labor prejudice, the old rate- bill system of school support is still in vogue. This system still prevails in our own state, though elsewhere con demned as a relic of benighted conser vatism, a principle of unitism, of in dividualism, of educational monopoly. The existence of a state pre-supposes the existence of. common interests. The identity of the individual' is in many ways absorbed by the greater identity of the state. All interests that per tain to the state as well as to the in dividual are common interests, and should be provided for by tho state. To distribute education is as much a part of the duty of the state as to dis tribute justice, grant franchises, gov ern the people, er develop general ave nues of commerce. The school lav of our state is thoroughly defective, and should be revised" without delay. Let the rate-bill system be done away with; let the school fund of the state be more judiciously handled; let the state return to it every dollar which has been pilfered from it by corrupt officials; let the county rate be fire mills instead of three,- and let the de ficit of public money in any school district be made up by a tax upon the property in such, district. Let the foundation of our school system be laid broad and deepr upon universal and eternal principles. In its re-coo-struction, let justice and philanthrophy join hands, and the beneficence of their united Iaitor reach down an assist ing hand for the elevation of those who are thirsting for knowledge, and who in turn will doubly repay the state from tho rich stores of acquired power and wealth of intellect and influence. Ballroad Hews. We learn from the "front" that the force of workmen is being added to daily. The lan$o new steam saw mill up Myrtle creek is, at lastr at work oa bridge timbers for the bridges that will span Myrtle creek and the South Ump qua. . The chiefs of the engineering parties have been called to Portland for consultation and it is now thought the two long tunnels will be abandoned and Hurlburt's line which offers short er tunnels, but more high trestle work, will be adopted. This will make little difference in the general line of the road but it will insure earlier connec tion with Portland as work on it can bo pushed fatter than on the long tun nels. It is rumored that ties will be delivered at as point on the river not lower than the Dardanells which, if true, indicates that either the Black well or Willow Springs line will lie adopted through the valley the lattrr being the one that will bring the road nearest to Jacksonville About railroad operations m Califor nia the Yreka "Journal" says: "Finley's surveyors have been camped at Salt Works for a few days past, and will move or have moved to Willow Creek, from which point they will finish going over the Hood survey to the Klamath. By this re-survey of the Hood route. I bhasta river will be crossed just above Ccnradp, the next ranch above the Salt Works, thus avoiding, the slough where Hood made the crossing. Af ter finishing this survey, the party will run a line through town from Klam ath river, and then proceed down to wards the canyon on the Sacramento river to locate road in that section. The surveyors rcem to have a very fav orable opinion of the Hood route for a railroad through Shasta Valley. All the routes surveyed will be carefully examined by the Chief Engineer, Montague, and the most advantageous to the company will be selected, the matter of making the best time with the least power, being the leading point in the matter ot locating the roadbed. It is expected by the last of this month, or noon after, the route for the road through Shasta valley, will be decided. The Redding "Democrat" says the railroad surveying party located twenty miles above Redding on the Sacramen to, are following the coarse of the riv er and making very slow progress." BACKS MB lSST.

The following dispatch was sent to the "Oregonian" from The Dalles March 19th: Lucien Langdon and a man in his employ named Harrison were arrested at the residence of the former on Willow creek by a posse of citizens from Prineville on Thursday night about 1Q o'clock. They were brought to Prineville and turned over to Deputy Sheriff Lusky, who placed a guard cf four men to- protect tht-m, Langdon requested the citizens making the arrest to guard him from mob vio lence, and the same request was made by hjs wife. This the party promised to do. Very soon after arriving at the Jackson house, about half past 2 o'clock Friday morning, the guard were over powered by a masked mob of twelve or fifteen, who covered each member of the deputy sheriffs posse with a pistol and commenced firing at Langdon, who was killed almost instantly. They then dragged Harrison on to the Ocboc'o bridge and hung him to the trestle work. A coroner's inquest was held over the dead bodies and a verdict ren dered according to the above facts. So far none of the perpetrators of this torrible outrage have been identified. Langdon leaves a wife and two small children. Nothing can be ascertained to implicate Harrison in the murder of Crooks and Jorry, and his only offense was that he was employed by Langdon. Referring to the fact that the O. C. M. W. R. Co. secured the services of Rosecrans (Dem.) of California to ad vocate their bill the Lake county Ex aminer remarks: "Perhaps the O. C. M. W. R. Co. folks wanted a champion whose advocacy would not of itself damn their 6cheme." The truth is that the bill was offered to Mr. George who declined to introduce it and if it passes the House it will be because he cannot help it. Corporations with corrupt schemes need not expect support from our present representative. ' Hi Cam! news. Philadelphia, March 14. Henry Ling a Chinaman who has been over seven years in this country, was natur alized to-day. The French Senate In discussing com pulsory education, rejected by 167 to 123, the amendment by Jules Sim on, requiring schoolmasters to teach pupils their duty toward God and the country. This amendment was voted on by the Senate before the last sena torial election, but rejected. City of Mexico, March 14. James Pytt, an American engineer, with six Mexicans, while coming down a steep grade on a handcar on the Nationil Pacific Railroad, turned suddenly upon a bridge where two men were. One jumped, and the car striking the other, was thrown into the chasm. Pytt and three Mexicans were instantly killed. The balance were fatallv injured. New York, March 15. "Herald" editorial: We have not absolute faith in the efficacy of the measure to achieve all the results at which it aims. The Mormon problem is quite as diffi cult as some persons find the Chinese one, but it is a project worth testing before retorting to the dread oxpedient of military government, and now it rests with Mormon pelygamists them selves, whether the United States shall he compelled to. that f nal alternative.
