OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSOWttiLTC Saturday, September 9, 1882. THE SACKA3IUNTO COMU.tTIO.Y. TLo platform adopted by the Califor nia Republican convention, is a strong document It thoroughly covers tho whole ground. It is straight forward, bold and aggressive. It makes no at tempt to straddle any question. It fairly meets and plainly pronounces upon, all the important issues involved in the campaign. Its treatment of the monopoly question is its most impor tant feature, and the most ardent anti monopoly advocate, unless he is fanati cal, could add nothing to its declara tions upon this subject. The increas ing oppression of the Union and Cen tral Pacific Itailroads has forced the people to take strong grounds against their outrages, and the convention did not falter in its duty to the people. Tho platform declares that "corpora tions are creatures of law and subject to law," and that "railroad companies, the samo as individuals, should be dealt with in fairness and without injustice." Certainly no corporation could reason ably demand moro than this. "Hail rood oompanies," it proceeds, "must-be kept subordinate to the interests of tho people; the people should be protected from abuse or unjust exactions; unjust discriminations should bo prohibited, and equal service upon equal terras to all persons, should be enforced and all property should pay its just share of taxation." Tho whole substance of the corporation question is contained in the declaration, that "charges for transport ing persons and property, should be limited to what is required to pay the legitimate expenses of operating such railroads, their maintenance in good repair and a fair interest on their actu al value." This is dealing fairly by all the interests involved. The railroad companies should not, and tho people do not, demand moro. The remainder of the platform, so fur as it refers to corporations, contains provisions for the enforcement of this principle. The platform is equally outspoken on the Sunday law. It disavows all right or wish to interfere in tho manxeu of ob serving Sunday, but emphatically de clares "in favor of spending Sunday as rrday of rest and recreation." It re solves in favor of civil service reform, and of increased efficiency of the com mon schools. It "favors the establish ing of a Bureau of Statistics of Labor, for the purpose of collecting and pub lishing such statistics and other infor mation in regard to labor and wages, as may be useful to thelaboringclasses." This-is an important step in the direc tion of a better adjustment of the re spective rights of labor and capital in their relations to each other. As a whole, tho platform bears tho marks of honest, conscientious work, and it is well worthy the great party which pre sents it. If that party is successful in the coming election, this platform will Be carried out in its full spirit and moaning, and the people of California will long and gratefully remember the convention which has just adjourned The candidates presented to the peo ple of California, by tho Republican convention, are courageous and consis tent representatives of the principles emtodied in the platform upon which they are nominated. M. M. Estee, the candidate for Governor, is, and for fifteen years has been, one of the fore most anti-monopoly men of the Pacific Coast. He has at all times, fearlessly advocated tho cause of the people, and has never lost an opportunity to ad vance their interests. He has relent lessly waged war upon the railroad rings, and has fought their oppressions, with a bitterness born of tho deepest sympathy with tho wrongs of the peo ple. He is strictly and purely a self made man. He is a lawj-er of learning and ability, whose untiring efforts havo yieldod him a large and lucrative prac tice, won in the faco of unceasing op position from tho monopolies who have bent every energy toinjure him. Firm in his convictions, high in his aspira tions, upright in his conduct, lofty in his motives he is well worthy to carry tho standard of the grand old party and to guard the rights of the people of his great State. General Chalmers and "Van. H. Man ning are opposition candidates for Con gress in a Tenn. district. They have been holding joint debates, during one of which their mutual abuse aroused such hot blood, that a duel islikely to follow. If these southern gentlemen have not yet sufficiently caught up with the civilization of the age as to be above such murderous nonsense, they are unfit to be candidates for any office, much less that of Conqrcssnan. During tho month of August, 1274 miles of railroad were built in the United States. This is the greatest number of miles ever built in one month. JIITCUCLL AM AMI-JIITCIICLU Just at this time, the politics of tho State seems to be divided into Mitchell and anti-Mitchell parties. The anti Mitchell party is led by three or four loud-mouthed, long-winded demagogues. Their argument is the very sub-soil of personal abuse, and their purpose, of course, their own advancement. These men control the "Oregonian," and are using it to further their own interests. The "Daily Statesman" is industrious ly echoing tho "Oregonian." Many of the Democratic papers, always eager, as Democrats, for anything to beat a Republican, catch up the strain and vigorously abuse Mitchell and all his friends. Opposed to these, are, almost all the Republican papers in the State, a few Democratic papers, and a very large majority of the people. A ma jority of the Representatives, also, are favorable to Mr. Mitchell. The course of the "Oregonian" is a matter of deep regret to all thoughtful men who have any pride in this State. It has aban doned the field of fair argument, to wallow in tho mud holes of shameless abuse. It has bemeaneil, and traduced," and vilified Mr. Mitchell in a hundred scandalous editorials. It has hoisted the black Has; of personal and malig nant warfare. It has substituted per sonal and private grudges, for a just consideration of the interests and ne cessities of our State. It has gone out of its way to abuse everybody who has dared to differ from it, and has in sulted the intelligence of its readers by trying to palm off malice as courage, and spite as criticism. The "States man," with a little less malice and a great deal less ability plays tail to the "Oregonian" and wags ap provingly whenever tho big dog howls. The malicious meddling of tho Demo cratic jiapers would be amusing, if it were less contemptible. Personal spite, interested abuse, and a despicable desire to say something mean about a Republican, such is the opposition to Mr. Mitchell. Those who are his friends, are such, because they believe him to be the best man in Oregon for United States Senator. Tins they believe, because he has shown by former serviie that his inter est is not that of any individual, or class, or place, but of the whole State; because he is a man of high honor, of creat ability and of pure motives; be cause he is eminently a man of the people, and for tho peoplp because, as a Senator, ho will ably represent the rising importance of our young State, and help us to a higher standing in the councils of the government; and be cause he is efficient, honest,industrious, liberal-minded, far sighted, and will give his best energies to ths interests of the whole people whom he repre sents. According to tho law, heretofore existing in Massachusetts, both the mortgagor and mortgagee have been oblged to pay tax on tho full value of a mortgage. It is now changed, so that the mortgagor only, is required to pay tax on it. In this State, the mortgagee aloner if he resides in the State, pays tax upon the mortgage. As shown 03- us a few weeks ago, this is a matter which should receive the atten tion of our Legislature at its coming session. The law of Massachusetts, as it now stauds, is a correct adjustment of the rights of all parties and should be imitated by our law makers. This is not demanded in the interest of the person who receives the mortgage. It is tlie interests of the community which demands the change. Somebody must pay tho taxes necessary to con duct tho affairs of each county in the state, and it is but simple justice that the real estate of the county bo made to bear, each acre, its proportionate part of it. If a part of the land is mortjra" ed, that is no reason why that which is not, should pay more tax. Any law which permits land, for taxable pur poses, to be transferred from one county to another, is inequitable and unjust, uud that is precisely tho condition of our present statute upon this subject. "SlamlariL" Last week the "Democratic Times" plucked up courage to criticise the Portland "Standard,, for it's defense of ex-Senator Mitchell. Upon this the "Standard" administered a vigor ous and well deserved spanking to our neighbor and told it plainly that it had not political sense enough to mind it's own business much less any to spare in minding other peoples. Tho "Standard" is one of tho few democratic papers that self respect and common sense impels, from motives of fairness to defend Mr. Mitchell. It is not in favor of any Republican for senator. If 'a re publican is to be elected it says it has no choice between them but it's man ly and dignified course in reference to the Senatorial struggle has earned it the approval of all fair minded men no iiiunwi uui may ue inuir politics. rOKElU riCIITlNG. The Egyptian war continues to bo little moro than marches and counter marches of tho contending armies. No encounter that could really be called a battle has yet occurred. Slight skirm ishes between the outposts resulting in small losses and little advantage to either side make up the record of actu al encounters. England continues in exclusive possession of the Suez canal and uses it to further her movements against tho Egyptians. In fact the seat of war is substantially transferred to the banks of tho canal. Arabi Pash'a is strengthening his fortifica tion and has convinced John Bull that he cannot bo frightened into a surrend er by a growl. He possesses a great deal of military ability and the British General's repeated calls for more troops and supplies indicate that he is not ig norant of this fact. The oventful tlay of a decisive conflict cannot be very far off. Greece and Turkey Jiave renewed their border quarrels. A pilch battle between their troop3 guarding disputed terrUory-fesaUfi4-in-r. litUe-b!oo& and a great deal of big talk, hut it is not likely to gain any further impor tance. The quiet slow-going peninsula ot Corea has recently been the scene of a miniature civil war. The present King, it appears, has an active enemy in the person of a jealous and ambitious uncle. This uncle has, for a long time, been engaged in an effort to insti gate a rebellion in order to secure con trol of the government. His efforts have finally resulted in an open at tempt to carry out his designs by force. His soldiers attacked the Japanese, who were there in the interest of the King, and after a stubborn resistance several of them were killed and the rest driven out of the country. In the melee tho Queen and several of the King's servants wero killed. For some days a bloody riot has been raging in Dublin. As is usual at such times men women and children old and young fell victims to the rab ble. The soldiers finally succeeded iu restoring order at the point of the bay onet and the trouble seems at an end for the present at least. o Tho commissioners, appointed under the EJmunds Polygamy Bill to supervise the government of Utah, havo begun tho work of registering voters. Every person is required to subscribe an oath, which, among other things, declares that they are not viola tors of the laws of the United States against bigamy or polygamy. Tiiis requirement of the oath has called out a proclamation, nddicssed to tho faith ful, and signed by Taylor, Cannon, (ex congressional delegate from Utah,) and Smith, constituting, as they say, "the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints." The substance and meaning of the proclamation is, that tho Mormons shall take the oath, because they can not avoid it without being disfranchis ed, but that it is their duty, as good and faithful latterday saints, to violate it, because their religion is above all human law and constitutions, ami is ordained of God. This getting above tho law and constitution, is a little risky, and people who indulge in such flights, generally alight in a dark room, and peep out between iron bars when they want to see tho sun. If the provisions of Edmunds bill are rigidly enforced, no pompous proclamations of these protended saints will save their infamou sinstitution from being, at last, blotted from off the face of our land. WASCO sriXIVL ELECTION. From the meagre news at hand from Wasco county it would seem that Mr. Dufur, the Republican candidate for the Legislature, is elected by a .good round majority over the Democratic candidate, Mr. Wigle. We are told that the canvass presented some queer features. The Eepublicanriende-of-W. Lair Hill worked and voted for the Democratic candidate, while many prominent Democrats worked and vo ted for tho Republican. Tho contest seems to have resolved itself into a Mitchell and anti-Mitchell fight, per sonal preferences entirely superseding party predilections. The result shows that Mr. Mitchell is tho preference of Wasco cflunty for U. S. Senator rather than that it has a majority of Republi can voters, as against the Scott Hill faction. "Standard." Hon. W. Lair Hill declares that he is not a candidate for tb6 United States Senate. In fact, it appears that, personally, he has mado no effort in that direction. His friends have been making some- efforts in his inter est, but have concluded to respect his wishes, and to cease their endeavors for his advancement. His chances vere never the most brilliant, and have not increased much of late, espec ially since Mr. Smith declined to make tho race for Representative in Wasco county. Pacific Mutual OP CALIFORNIA.
