OREGON SENTINEL. JACK.SOSVILI.Kl Saturday, September 2, ISS2. NOT TO BL1HC As th argument of the "Tidings" on the court house question grows weaker, its words grow bigger, its phrases rounder, its sentences longer. Repeated iteration lias caused the "Tid ing" to regard its assertions as facts, and a statement of its opinion as argu ment. Wheti its article of a few weeks since appeared, wo were disposed to look upon it as fairly reflecting the feelings and sentiments of the people of Ashland, and we answered it accord ingly. But last week's bombastic spluttering, ws are convinced, repre sents nobody but the "Tidings" editor himself. It says our effort to defend Mr. Cook was "colossal presumption, magnificent hardihood." (Was it all thatl Wo wonder how wo dared!) And "that a large number of the voters of the county have not yet forgotten that they voted for Cook upon assur ances from him, or thoso interested in electing him, that he would oppose a new conr; house.". Now the fact is, jur. oooimerer suugm u secure votps by any pledge on the court house ques tion, and if any person presumed to volunteer such a pledge, it was done without his knowledge or authority, and was probably born of a desire that he should so pledge himself, and was promulgated with the hope that he might feel lound by it. When the "Tidings" charges commissioner Cook with securing his election, by deceiving tho Toters, it makes a charge which is sot consistent with the facts, and is an uncalled for injustice to that gentle "njan. The compassionate tenderness of the "Tidings" editor for the feelings of Jacksonville people in regard to a court house, is profoundly touching. He has nothing to say against us be cause we want a court house) You don't blame usl Oh generous mortal it is the poverty of the English lan guage alone, and not our lack of in dustry in searching tho whole vocabu lary of gratitude, that prerents us find ing words adequate to thank you for this inestimable boon this unparaleled favor. For months, the shadow of your possible displeasure had been des cried in the distance. It had gradually grown, and deepened, and darkened until it hung like a heavy pall above the heads of our onco happy people. The fear of your majestic frown had chilled our erstwhile hopeful houIs, and frozen the very marrow in our bones. Bat now, that you come clothed in the radiant glory of a noble and matchless charity and shed the soft and soothing sunshine of your gracious indulgence into the very depths of our desolate souls, our throbbing hearts long bowed in awtul awo and solemn fear, again beat free and full, and nc join in ono long, loud shout of thankfulness and praise, and are happy oncc.again. A Freethinkers convention is now hi session at Watkins, New York, with an attendance of 700 delegates from all parts of the United States. Among other business of the conven tion, a committee was nppointed to ar range for the establishing of a Freo Thought University, Tho convention numbers among its members some of tho best men and women in the country, and, whatever difference of opinion there may be-, as to the good or bad results of their labors, it cannot be denied that they ore earnest, honest men and women, diligently working for what they believe to bo tho advance ment of humanity. California is threatened with a straight-laced, out-and out uuti-monop-oly party. This party is abosolutcJy independent of both tho Democratic and the Republican parties, but it pro Kses to distribute tho honor of its nominations equally between former members of the two parties. Being entirely new, thiR party will have no history to explain, no blunders to re pair, no broken pledges to renew, or, in commercial phrase, New firm, new goods, new prices. Tho average Republican editor, (who ever he is) says the "Times," is trying to find out under what Democratic ad ministration political assessments were levied. Speak out Mr. "Times" and let us have the name of one such Re publican editor. We don't often bet but we'll lay you twenty dollars to a cent that you can't name a single one who tried without succeeding. Put up or shut up. Stage robbing would soon lose much of its charm, did the bold highwayman repetmoro frequently the fate that has lately befallen some of these accom plished gentry. A recent robbery at Cherry creek, Nev. which netted only $40 and an Aiizona robbery which jiaid $5000 resulted alikn in the foot -pads, in both cases, being hanged by a tuob. Everybody in this part of tho country will remember tho Crescent City wagon road excitement, which prevailed here a year or so ago. It will be remembered, that asurvey of the road was made and work begun by Air. II. Gasquotof Happy Camp. It will also be remembered that Mr. Gasquet went to San Francisco, and through the assistance of gentlemen of this place and other parts of southern Oregon, obtained from the wholesale merchants of that city, subscriptions to the amount of about $1700. What amount, of any, if these subscriptions was paid to Mr. Gasquet has never been known. About two miles of the road, beginning nt the initial point of the survey in Josephine county was comp'eted but" what the work cost, or who furnished the money that paid for it, are alike matters of mys tery to everybody but Mr. Gasquet himself. This two miles of road is not constructed on the lsnd of Mr. Gas quet is in fact county road although nothing is known certainly about where the money came from that built it, it is generally believed that it did not all como out of the pocket of Gasquet. But even if he had furnished the money to IrniU J .-.-.him of abseluto ouip on His part, would be, under the circumstances, somewhat chimerical, to say tho least of it. All the actual wotk ever done on tho road was the completion of these two miles, and after considerable bluster and little ' work, people began to lose confidence in the enterprise and then Gasquet in the following somewhat sarcast.c card withdrew from the management of it. To tiik People of Jacksoy, Josephine and Del Norte Counties: I would like to be excused from giv ing any more attention to the C. C. wagon-road raattir as an active promo ter. For two years past, on account of the C. C. wagon road, I have neg lected my business and suffered great pecuniary injury by doing so. I fouxd DONATIONS TOO SHADOWY, PROMISES TOO slitpery, and my means too limited to allow me to complete the road singly. Not wishing to be a drawback to the welfare of these counties, I will donate to any company or individual who will complete the road, all the work done and interest I have in it and my most cordial support. H. GASQUET. A short time since, Messrs. J. Wimer it Sons, of Waldo, undertook the build ing of the road and are now pushing it to completion as fast as the force of 130 men can be made to do it. A few days nco, they were somewhat sur prised to receive a formal and threat- ning document from Mr. Gasquet warning them not to occupy or tres pass upon the two miles built during his connection with the road, and claim ing it as his individual property. In the light of all the facta in the case, Mr. Gasquet's notice bears very much the appearance of a rather cheeky effort to bluff the gentlemen who are really building the road, and who undertook the work upon tho faith of the prom ise contained in his card. uiiv ? ? t Three weeks we have waited pa tiently for the "Democratic Times" to define its position if it has one on the court house question, and we have waited in vain. Judge Day and Com missioner Cook, both Democrats, have been severely criticized by a public journal of the county, because they have determined upon tho building of a court house, and yet tho "Times," the Democratic organ, has no word, either of defence or of approval, to offer on behalf of these gentlemen. Tho "Times" has merely mentioned tho fact that a court house is needed, and that there is some opposition to the building of ono at the present time, but it has never yet said whether it is in favor of tho building of one or not. . Now, Mr. "Times," we wish to pro pound to you, a few, straightforward, plain-faced questions, and we venture to hope that, bv a frank, manly, un equivocal answer to them, you will silence a certain unpleasant suspicion, which is beginning to be rather em phatically voiced by the people of this community, in regard to your position on this question. First, then, aro you, or are joa not in favor of building a new court house, in Jacksonville, at the present time? Second: Do you, or do you not en dorse the action of Judge Day and Commissioner Cook in reference to the court house, and if not, why not? Third: Do you, or do you not be lieve that, at the last election, the question of the building of a court house , was fully and fairly settled by the election of Robt. A. Cook, as a county commissioner? If you answer this question in tho negative, please favor us with a statement of the rea sons upon which your answer is based.

The Willamette University at Salem has recently come into possession of the proceeds of the sale, of the block occu pied by tho Portland Female Seminary, amounting to about $15,000, and anad ditional 12,000 raised by subscription, making a perpetual endovr&fcat of 527, 000, the interest on which is to be used in pay ing" salaries of teachers. Presi dent Van Scoy and Gen. W. n. Odell, one of tho trustees, made arrangements last Saturday in Portland to have the proceeds of tho sale of the block above mentioned turned over to the endow ment agents of tho University. During the last three years, since Rev. F. P. Tower became its financial agent, the Willamette University has gained more than 40,000. The woman's college department is an important feature of the institution. The next term of the University will begin on the 4th day of September under very favorable condi tions. Tho "Times" insinuates that the "Tidings" editor is poor and hence his opinion on tho court houso question is of little consequence. If tho "Times" had a littlo more wealth of opinion on the subject and a good deal less jiover ty of courage in expressing them it might occupy its columns with some thing better than such snobbish innu endoes. Tho time has gone by in this country when the value of a man's opinion is rated by the amount of money in his purse. Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. OF CALIFORNIA. For Oregon.
