OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSONVILLE! Saturday, November 18, 1882. BCTTE CBKEK LIMTXR. Editor Jacksonville Sextin Dear Sir: I saw an article in last week Ashland "Tidings" about tlie Linkville road. That article went af ter Judge Day and the Commissioners Because they did not give more money to fixing up that road. Now a we have no paper over here I thought I vrould write to j ou. I think and so dees a creat many more people over this way that the best thing the Commissioners can do is to put some of their surplus money into the new road that waa run through this way to Linkville. This is a better road, is more open, has not so much mountain nor snow as the one from Ashland and itissettlcd for a Rraater distance, than that one. Now I think the county Juts put about enougn money on that and it-has done no good and it "ought to give us a show. Jacksonville gels a court house provided they can get any bsdy to build it anij now Ashland wants a road and where are we to come in. Suppose the mail does go over that road? Boes the county build roads to accommodate Uncle Sam or her own citizens? And what if Ashland roi'ls does want it to ship their flour over does the peoplo'koep up county roads for that? Thero ought to be a good road to Lake county but it ought to be kept up over the best route and Judge Day if he has so much money to build court houses ought to find a little to put into a road'to Lake county but it ought to be made to accommo date the people and not U. S. and Asliland. It ought to be made over the Butte creek route for that is the best and cheapest and will accommo date the most people. Day and Cook ought to open this road at once and then let U. S. and Ashland come to this road or build one of their own if they want it. Ciiimxev Rock. TrtApnns Law . Tho new tresspass law is now in force. It is of special interest to sportsmen and they should understand its provisions. It provides that if anjvperson shall go upon the land of another and shall fail or refuse to leavo when notified to do so by tho owner or occupant thereof he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The notice to leave may be verbal cr printed or written. Printed or written notices posted up in three conspicious places on the premises shall be considered suffi cient notice'and any person going upon lands upon which such notices are posted is guilty of a misdemeanor, no matter whether lie has actually seen the notice or not. Justices courts have jurisdiction over all offenses com mitted under this law and any person found guilty of a violation of it shall be fined notlessthan five normorothan fifty dollars. All such fines when col lected shall go into the common school funds of tho county in which they are , collected. Any person who cannot pay any fine assessed under this law aliall be committed to jail until such fine is paid at the rato of two dollars a day. President Arthur dictated the nonii nationofFoger which was made against the wishes and in opposition to tie opinions of nine-tenths of the Repub licans in New York. It now behoves Arthur to conlinuo his consistency by setting tho machines to work to dig His caudidato out of a snow bank .bout 200,000 feet deep. -A- tjood many well meaning people Lara firiu;r.jj fait w;th Arthur hP.mnsn he went U Xew York to help to elect xoiger.

The mortgage tax law passed by the lato legislature has provoked consid erable dicussion upon the matter em braced in it Tho money lenders, so far as heard from, have, with affec tionate unanimity, pronounced it a mis take. Per consequence the "Ore gonian" pronounces it a mistake. Of course the money lenders do not care for themselves. They never do. It is tho poor dear suffering people who want to borrow money, for whom they are so exercisiug their philanthropic souls. The people want money, say the&o sympathetic sages. We have money to loan them (at ten per cent on first-class security, interest payable annually aud attorneys fees if collected by suit) but we cannot consent to ac commodate them under this law. The people might reply, very well you grum bling, growling, o'd Shylncks we don't want your mon ey. If you do not want to loan it there are plantv of others who do, and we will go to them. This cSCPXI terest in t tlie lender is leally quite touching. Ver ily labor and capital are not sofarapart after all when money bags can thus bubble over, so to speak, in to tlie very lap of labor. But somehow it always happens that your tender hearted money lender never dis covers the extent of his syiuapthy for the poor borrower until he sees a few pennies "of interest, either present or prospective, threaten to etcape from tho clutch of his capacions hand. Then it is, that he discoveres that his great heart is wrung with the possible dis tress of ' the borrower and his soul reaches out and yearneth violently for his brother, and he rushes to the office of his chosen paper and publishes tho story of his sorrows. Whereat the said paper straightway proceeds to put forth its protest (and thus have being protested) against the Unseemly outrage which has been pernetrared upon the people. iiut what is this terrible law with which the people have been afflicted? It is, that any person loaning monev on real estate in any county in this State shall pay n tax upon such loan in the countv where tho land is situated and not plsewhere. There, is the whole law in a single sen tence. "Under the old law a person making such loan paid tax upon tho mortgage in the country where he ro sided instead of in tho country where the land securing tho loan was situated. That is, provided he was in possession of a sufficient amount of honor to im pel him to pay tax on it anywhere and not swindle the state, bv some cleverlv designed fraud, out of tho entire tax. Now the tax is paid in that' county where the land is If we go no deeper than the very surfaco of the Question. the law is eminently just and proper. The tax should bo-paid upon that part 'of tho debt wliich gives it value This is the mortgage, rather that the noto which it is exe cuted to secure. If it is not, why in tist upon a mortgage at all? The legal principle that a morgtagp is onlynn in cident to the debt which it secures is not disturbed because, practical!', the incident is that which gives value to the debt. It is not tho borrower, but tho value of tho security, which concerns the lender. It makes no difference what sort of a man re ceives the money so long as the title is perfect, the mortgage legal, and the pioporty sufiicient. This lament of the lenders hasbeen listened to with a sort of painful interest by the people. It is interesting bucause it confirms sus picion of longstanding which partially accounts for the strange shrinkage in valuo which effects the property of lenders about tax time and painful because it betrays a trick of the lenders trade, which though sus pected has never yet been so clearly seen, whereby lie beats tho state and saves himself a few shekels. If these genllemen who are now complain ing have, heretofore, honestly paid taxes on their notes under the old law why do they now complain ? If they were honest tUev then paid tho tax onco each year aud that is all the new law requires' of them. It should be rembered, too, that most of tho men who have honored this law with their opposition reside in counties where tho percenter taxation is much higher thau it is in the counties where their money is loaned. Under thecircum- .ances, tf would seem that if they 1 sufficientlv sunnress tWr anxiety for the poor people to permit them to take caro of themselves, and could develope enough honesty to pay their taxes they would havo no further occasion to "complain of the new tax law. St. Louis has produced the prize duck story. A steamcr-ooming up the Jlississippi river ono foggy night ran into a flock of wild ducks. Tho elec trie lights were turned on whon tho ducks flew against the lights in such numbers, and with so much violence, that the decks of tho steamer were tilled up with dead and wounded dimlrs to the height of 200,000 feet. Twen ty thousand of these ducks were it once sent to California and an order was received for 20,000 more from Massachusetts. Chicago eclipses this.however, with a story of an immense sea monster seen in lake .Michigan on the evening of November 7th. It was 20,000 feet long, had a silver spoon in its mouth and was branded B. B. 3Iass. P. S. Our sporting editor wishes to present his protest to the above items. Hg insists that tho politicial editor who wrote them has drawn nn r. cent political occurrences for his-nu-meral estimates. !9B3SIIIIIIB' iii 4 ou uiLLLHaaaB' -T---- " wwiwt4 ft r TTW bo' borrow ei mu ilHBtrt of 1 AeBBH-, ... a , S Tilt ELECTIONS. Complete and authentic returns have not yet been received from all the states. It is certain, however, that the Democrats havo a large majority in the National House of Representa tives. The latest returns place" this majority at seventy. In tho Senate there appears, so far as heard from, to be a small Republican majority. Stoneman is elected Governor of Cali fornia by about 20,000, Cleveland Governor of New York by about 200-, 000, Ben Butler Governor of Massa chusetts by about 20,000. In Califor nia Stoneman did not receive, by sev eral thousand, "as many votes as was polled for Hancock. Neither did Cleveland, though Hancock lost New York by about 20,000. In Massa chusetts the Republicans were success ful except for Governor. These, are singular circumstance, and :learly show a great deal of independent ac tion on the part of Republican oters. They were disgusted with the recant joises mamma disgust lSlaying at home, election, so far frem showing the weak ness of the Republican party, has ex hibited the great strength and sustain ing force which underlie it. Instead of indicating the deca of Republican ism, it proves the superior strength of tho f-pirit which inspires it. Moral courage is the fife principle of moral manhood. To do right, because it is right, nnd for no other reason, is e idence if high moral courage in an individual. This is no less true of political parties than of persons. Tho party whicS is worthy to control the destinies of the greatest Republic this world hasbver seen must be possessed of superior moral courage. No one expects perfection on this earth, either in men ai individuals, or as members of political, or social, organizations. Abuses will arise in all societies, and especially in a political society in pos session of a great government. This is to be expected. But when any paity, possesses within itself, the moral cour age to correct abuses and remove ob jcctionable elements from its ranks, even at the expense of dpfeat, it proves itself possessed of those vital princi pies which will eventually rule, not by favor or by accident, but by tho divine right of suporior greatness. The re cent defeat was deliberately invited by the Republican party, because it was the one immediate ami effective way of disposing of certain men who were disgracing it, and certain methods by which it was being oppressed. Rank and poisonous weeds had grown up in the politicargardens of New York and Pennsylvania, and had thrived by per mission of tho chief executive of the Nation; if, in fact, their thrift was not largely due to Presidential cultivation In other states too, some abuses were iieginning to take root. But the di3 aflection in tho two former states, diffused itself over tho whole country; and it was this, which decided the fate of the day. TJiere were, it is true, in some of the states, local causes which contributed more or less to swell the majorities against us, such as prohibi tion, and local option agitations. But it was the spirit of opposition to the bosses, nnd tho machine, which decided the contest. If the Republican party had chosen to continue tho bosses in power, and had lent a hand at workin" tho niaching. there is no doubt that it would have been successful. Rut the soul and purpose of that great party forbids such a possibility. The Republican party is conscious of its own power, and it understands the importance of its own existence. It is, however, equally silly and useless to deny our discomfeiture at this de feat. We were prepared for it. We had joined hands with the advance guard of Republican reformers and had said that wo would prefer defeat without the bosses to success with knew that all the ills of Democratic misrule were to be multiplied by the ambition of their leaders, and the ra pacity of the ranks, wo would still say that it were, better that the country suffer tho affliction as best it can, than that the Republican party submit to the disgrace of being ruled solely in the interest of personal ambition. But there is no occasion for Republicans to bo downcast and disheartened. It be hoves them to accept the ) resent de feat as a scourge spnt by the wrath of a great people to purify the greatest political organization of the day. The Democratic partv is the lash" in the hands of the patriots of that great par ty with which they havo driven tho money changere from the temple. Bv this defeat a dangerous class of Repub lican politicians have been taught that the party to which they claim the hon or of belonging will trust and honor men only so long as they direct the power which it gives them to tho ad vancement of the couutry. Through out the ever changing phases of polit ical parties letiteierbc remembered that the people themselves, alone, aro sovereign. And let no man deceive himself into tho belief that ho is great er than they, or lay the flattering unction to his soul that he is the ownrr of the Republican party. '"j - .. ir 'jnn.
