W'.M. JIJH HMK'.'jW. OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSON VltLK i Saturday, December 1G, 1882. reuse am;i;loii:. Ther action of tho President in tie remoTal of those public officers who were employing the influence of their positionsto shield the star route thieves, has elicited almost universal commend ation. Every body says it is just what should have been done. Most of the Republican papers and politicians are encouraged to hopo that this is the harbinger of better work on the part of the President. In consequence, they compliment him with a persistency and profuscness, which has mucli more of real meaning in it than is seen upon the surface. So loudly have tho praises of the President been sung that one, nnaccquainted with the facts, would conclude that he had suddenly inaug urated some new reform. Tho facts, hqwovcr, are quite contrary. The officials whom ho removed, wero en gaged in an earnest and persistent en deavor to obstruct tho efforts of tho courts and clog tho tardy wheels of justice. Their offense was well known throughout the country. The Presi dent knew it, or if he did not, it was because he had not availed himself of the means of information common to the whole country, or becauso he wished to remain in ignorance of it. Their guilt was as well established sev eral months ago, and almost as well known, as it was at the tiino of their removal. To bo sure it increased in degree, but it did not change in kind. In view of these, well known fact?, tho applause which theso removals has elicited carries a strong undercurrent of reproof, which tho President can not fail to understand. Tt was simply the discharge of a long delayed duty. If he had followed tho plain course of conduct which a proper love of his country, not to mention the obligations of his official oath, had dictated these removals would have been mado long ago. The fact that he did not,, has scandalized the country ad injured the party to which he claims toielong. When a man, either as an individual er a public officer, simply does that which it is his plain duty to do, here is no occasion for applause. And the fact that action in the line of private , or official duty is HiSdoJ,ho occasion for such excessive jiraise, indicates a deeper feeling of distrust, and carries tho force of a keener reproof than is contained in open criticism. A man may become blinded by anger, when you excite the perversity of his nature by open condemnation, but he is dis armed and helpless when you greethim with hearty praise. It is to be' hoped that this reproof may not pass unheed ed. The people of this country,, though naturally rather enthusiastic, do not, as a rule, unite in applauding tho actions of a man who does merely what they expected ho would do. 1 is the un usual, tho unexpected which excites their admiration to this extent. No more emphatic reproof or keener con demnation has been visited upon Pres ident Arthur than the recent expres sion in regard to theso removals. If he does not profit by this, he is either incapablo of understanding tho senti ment of this people, or more indifferent to his future than is generally supposed. Senator Logan of Illinois has called up his bill amending tho present Chinese law so as to permit the passage of Chinese through this country. This bill was introduced last session but was not disposed of, and Senator Logan now insists upon a speedy disposal of the matter. Ho is an earnest advocate of the bill, and is using all his influence to secure its passage. The fact that this bill will bo a great draw back to tho restriction of Chinese emigration ii too plain for argument. If they are permitted to pass throught how are they to be prevented from stopping? The present bill, though it might be ceatly improved by a few judicious amendments, had better be let severely alone bo long as it does as well toward accomplishing its purposes as it has done since it went into effect. If these gentlemen who persist in telling the people of this coast what they do, and do not want, would only consent to turn their attention to organizing a new polcr expedition or figuring out tho result of the transit of Venus ob servations or some such interesting pastime we undertake present them the heartfelt thanks and best wishes of tho people of tho whole Pacific slope. The prohibition amendment, passed by tho lost legislature was not, it seem?, entered on the journals of the Legisla ture as required by the costitution. This sets the whole matter back for another two years at least. Such omissions are inexcusable, to say the least, and reflect unfavorably upon thoso having tho matter in charge. CIVIL SLmiCEBEFOUH BILL. The first bill introduced at the pres ent session of Congress, was a bill to prohibit political assessments. Sen ator Beck, of Kentuckey, who intro duced the bill, claims to be ablo to show that great outrages have been perpe trated upon government officials in making political assessments. He says he can show that many rapn and women havo baen turned out of their postions for their refusal to contribute to tho Hubble committee, and that others, only kept their places because some good charitable- Democrat furnished them the money with which to pay the assessments. That sounds very much like Democratic brag but let us- hope that Senatcr Beck may be afforded every opportunity for making, good his promises. If any such outrages have been committed the country wants to know all about it and will heartly thank, and kindly remember Senator Teck13r anybody else, who will furnish the information. Senator Hawley,' of Connecticut has also in-1 troduced a bill somewhat similar to that of Senator Beck, thouch more pointed and Btringent. There is a strong currentsetting in at Washington in favor of practical civil service re form which at present gives promise of some real good. Senator Voorhees, the valliant statesman from Indiana, has already planted himself squarely in the way of of pjactical work in this direction. But then Voorhees has not sufficient force to obstruct anything. The greatest danger from him is that he will orato in favor of the reform. He hones for some of the spoils for his hungry followers and tho civil service reform and ant-assessment agitation has a sort of a'n empty sound to tho Hoosier Senator. Duller And The Democrats. Ben Butler says he is not a Demo crat and was not elected by the Demo crats. He says he is the peoples gov ernor and not a Democratic governor, and that he cannot forget that Massa chusetts is a Republican State. His theory is, that the Republicans, dis satisfied with their party leaders, con cluded to throw them overboard and elect him as their governor. Butler is now in Washington scliemihg.for the defeat of Senator" Hoar. From pres ent appearences ho is likely to succeed in this and it is not impossible that he will himself becomo Hoar's succesior. ilaausTSaoiishftrSfela UTreasintraj amongst his would-be Democratic friends by dining with the President and spending several hours in private and mysterious consultation with him. Ben is a political" paradox, and his new found political associates, who so warmly embraced him a few weeks ago, are already beginning to look up on him with a great deal of uneasy suspicion. The trouble is that Ben is cross ey ed politically, as well as phys ically, and you never can tell what he is looking at. It would bo very sad, if, after all tho crowing and blow ing the Democrats have done about the victory of Massachsetts, their Governor should denounce and denv them. It is now, almost a month and a half since the election, and the Democratic papers are still enthusiastically at work upon obituaries of theRepublican party If the thing is dead what is the use of talking so much about it. The adject ive dead does not admit of comparison you can't get tho party any deader. Come, letup and giveusarest. Of course you are not afraid of a dead party and it is not very nice, to say the least of it, to go to a funeral and then put in the time kicking the corpse. o And now it is reported that Secre tary Lincoln wants to re tiro from pub lic life. Such reports usually indicate tho incipient stages of the Presidential fever. His father-in-law js . jrespon.-.. siblo for tho report, however, and it is unfair to hold a man resposible for the utterances of such distant relatives. Now if his mother-in-law had said this, we would bo prepared to hear of his early retirement. Thero were 65,000,000 acres of corn planted in the United States last year. Tho average yield was 25 bushels per acre. This would make the corn crop 1,C20,000,000 bushels. Illinois leads as usualwith an estimated crop of 209, 000,000 bushels, and Iowa comes next with 180,000,010 bushels. Gen. Rosecrans has introduced a bill to incorporate a railroad company to con 8tructalinethroughYellowStonoPark. He takes great care to state that the bill is introduced by request and he does not wish to ba understood as advocating its passage. There are 4,000 saloons in ChicaL'o. The Chicago papers are clamoring for high liscenso and insist that a $500 license would close up fully one half of them. There is now the enormous sum of $287,867,173 in the National Treasury. uncus ad ii.utnoKs. Tho secretary of the treasury in his annual report did not furnish estimates of the amounts required for the im provement of rivers and harbors for next year. These estimates are made- by a government engineer; and the secretary is required to furnish them to Congress with his annual message. The fact that he failed to comply with the law in this respect this year, would seem to indicate an understanding be tween him and the President on this subject. If the purpose is to prevent any appropriations for the improve ment of rivers and harbors, and there can be no other, tho secretary of the treasury has taken rather a high hand ed way of accomplishing this purpose. There aro very few people who, what ever may bo their opinions of these ap propriations, are willing to ssee a sec retary of the treasury or the whole cabinet, for the matter of that, handicap the United States assembly in any such an arbitrary manner. The question of hese appropriations' rests with Con gress, and it BhoultTbitfurnisbed every means for ascertaining the wants and needs of the country in this respect. There is a certain class of politicians, who seem to think that because the appropriations of last year wero some what extravagant, therefore no further appropriations should be made. This is a miserable political artifice to originate campaign capital. Such in ternal improvement, as the country really needs should, of course, be made even at the expense of the criticism of those sections whero no improvements are required. A resolution; has been introduced in the House, calling upon the secretary of the treasury for the engineers estimate and it will no doubt ba forth coming in consequence. A resolution has also been introduced asking information as to what amount of money, appropriated last year, re mains unexpended. Arabi Pasha pleaded guilty to the charge of instigating an insurrection and encouraging rebellion and all the other high sounding military charges pre ferred against him. Upon this plea- he was sentenced to be hanged. This sentence was commutted to banishment and he was banished to the island of Ceylon. Ho is to bo- maintained' on the island by the English Government in a manner befitting the dignity of his previous station, and is not to leavo withont having first obtained the Gov ernments permission. Bforo leAvilig for his f uturo home Arabi, in true polit ical style addressed aletter tothe people of England congratulating them upon their success in Egypt and expressing hope that their efforts for the improve ment of that unfortunate country might be successful. He had, he said, begun a great reform in Egypt but he cheerfully relenquished the un dertaking to his conquerors. That's what we would call taffy out west. The propsition is again being act ively agitated to reduce the postage on letters to two cents. The present Post Office appropriation bill contains such a clause and-will probably be adopted. Tho Post Office department is more than self sustaining and there is no reason why such a reduction should not bo made. The postal busi ness is not expected to be a source of revenue to tho government. It is main tained for the convenience of the" peo ple and thecheaper the postage thogrcal er the convenience. It should bo mado as nearself sustaining as possible; but if a small appropriation were requird in consequence of the proposed reduction no great fault would be found. Be sides, experience has shown that each reduction in postage has resulted in such an increase of business as to al most make up for the reduction. The Senate is now engaged on a. bankrupt law.- Ji is -pe-JMtobtful whether tho opposing opinions on this bill will be sufficiently harmonized to secure its passage at this term, but it will be disposed of in some manner within a few. days. The next bill in order is the civil service bill of Senator Beck and after that comes the inter minable Eitz Porter case. A polar wave visited the northern and Atlantic states duriug the last week of such severity that in some lo calities the thermometors fell as low as 67 degrees below zero. The peo ple of those states had better take Horace Greelys advice and go west. London England was last week vis ited by the most destructive fire known there for agwat many years. More than $15,000,000 worth of property was destroyed and many lives were lost. Senator Slater has introduced the concurrent resolution of the Oregon leg islature in favor of the passage of a bill to incorporate the Nicarauga ca nal company. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has al most entirely recovered from his recent ilucss. WILLAMETTE The oldest Institution of Learning on the V.1 ff . Pacific 350 STUDENTS AND 26 PRO'FESSORS AND INSTRUCTORS.
