i OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSO.VVII.LK l Saturday, December 30, 1882. Tin: aoutiwcst isms. This is tho name of the new daily paper which is to be published in Port land and which will issue its Grst num ber next Monday. This paper begins its existence under the most promising auspices. Not to mention the capital By which it is supported no inconsid erable item by the way the paper will be conducted by gentlemen of great en terprise and ability, and well schooled in the news paper buisness. It will begin with a large subscription list and plenty of advertisements. But one of the greatest advantages which it will enjoy is, that if it is conducted, in the manner which the character cf the gentlemen connected with it gives promise, it will, in real truth, fill a long felt want. The "Republican of this State want and need at leading paper. lxJH, upright, UonnrpMp,. nufsprVon, independent, progressive, Eepubhcan news paper. A paper that will labor for the true interests of Oregon, and" the great Northwest, and will in dependently represent the best Re publican pentiraent of tho State. A paper that will help to harmonize tho party, assist in lifting it up into high er and better fields of usefulness, and in leading it to battle, if possible,, to success; and that too, not because of any hope of reward or fear of punish ment, but from an honest conviction that the triumph of tho party is the best for the state and the nation. A paper that docs not shape its course in the interest of personal and selfish ends or debase its columns to the satiat ing of individual malice. If the Northwest News blmll prove to be such a paper, and we hope and believe it will, there can bo no question as to its 8USC0S3. Such a paper deserves to buceed anywhere; and the measure of its success in this State will, we are iure, greatly surpass the expectations of its founders. Langtry, as a news paper nuisance promises to rival a certain celebrated anti-rheumatic oil and a widely known patent medicine woman. Every paper one picks up is filled with accounts of Mrs. Ilangtry, Mrs. Labouchere and a soft pateddutchman who, if he had not more money than brains, would be working for a dollar a day and board and glad to get that too. One moment, the wire? are trembling with the'ttston ishing intelligence that this young dutchman has actually written his name on the register of the same hotel at which Mrs. Langtry is stopping. This is succeeded by the blood curd ling announcement that Langtry and the dutchman had breakfast alone to gather at precisely one o'clock. Out here we would call it dinner, but the dispatch says breakfast and breakfast it is. No sooner has the country be come reconciled to this terrible calami ty, and settled down to something like its accustomed tranquility, than the telegraph tells a terrible tale of how these two people actually got into a carriage together behind a span of spirited bays. Now if they had only got in beforo the bays, or if the bays hud been dispirited, or if they hand'nt been bays at all, but had been blues or greens or yellows instead, or had'nt been a pair or but the situation be comes quite to terribly awful for con templation. "We are pursuaded that the country is in a desperate condition but can st'o no possible means of relief. It is a pity though, that tho good peo ple of Massachusetts cannot pen up their lunatics and not let them follow" this lady around , like a crowd of urchins after an elephant. Tho post office appropriation bill tas passed the House. - The Senate for the past week has been engaged in the discussion of the civil service reform bill. On Saturday last an adjournment was effected until Wednesday when the bill, by agree ment, was to be taken up and disposed of. , There is very little doubt of its passage and this, or some similar bill trill surely soon become a law. Senator Edmonds has introduced another bill to prevc'nt political assess ment. The discussions upon the civil service billhas been rather bitter at times- and has been marked by an exhibition of a great deal more political feeling than the character of the measure seemed to oall for; but it has been particularly interesting as showing that tho senti ment of the country on this question is beginning to be better understood. Though much of this discussion beems out of place and unnecessary it may rssult'iu securing more general and careful examination of the subject and assist in strengthening that moral sen timent which will insure the enforce ment of the law after it shall have Been passed. EDITOKUL. NOTES. Oscar Wild has gone hom.e Thank you Oscar! There had got to be too much of a tooness about yon and we delight to see you vanish but if you had only taken Langtry with you the utlernes of our obligation would nave extended unto the unfathomable depths of the inexpressible. m As it is, we can only emit an aesthetic sigh and sadly say, speed the departing, endure the remaining, guest. Notwithstanding the multitude of predictions to the contrary. DeLesseps appears likely to succeed in his Panama canal scheme. The larges dredger ever "built in the world was. recently launched at Philadelphia having been built especially for use in construct ing the canal. The loud and oft re peated assertions that this canal will never be built sounds very like -what was said about the Suez canal and seems to make about as much impress ion upon the enterprising old French man. BeLesseps, in his way, is the greatest man of this age, and his repu tation1 is written in much more substan tial characters than press dispatches or newspaper editorials. ' The secret reason why the Riddle berger McCarty duel did not come ofF has at last leaked out and has sadly spoild the high moral aspect of the af fair. McCarty is a dead shot and would be almost sure to kill his adver sary, Mabone says he has had hard work to carry Virginia and get Rid dleberger elected and he does not now propose to have a vacancy created by McCartys bullet. He accordingly ex ercised his influence upon the firey Virginia Senator, assuring him that he had not the slightest objection to his being killed as an individual, but that as a Senator lie could not possibly spare him. Thus this duel will be post poned until there will no longer be any occasion for it. There is a lamentable lackness, so to speak, in candidates for President. There really are no candidates for this office. No sooner is a man spoken of as a possible aspirant for Presidential honors than he immediately arises to assure the country that he cannot pos sibly consent to serve it in that capacity. Verily, it besins to look as though the country would be com palled to insert an ad in the "wanted" column or the White house will be "to let." Perhaps, when the time rolls round for a candidate to step into the traces and draw the car of State through another four years, some of these mod est gentlemen who seem so anxious for the shades of seclusion, will consent to do the country tho honor of being its President. Two very important amendments to the Army bill, have been preposed in the House. One, by Browne of India ana, providing for the gradual reduction of the present force of paymasters in the army, and for the final transfer of their duties to the Quartermasters De partment. The proposed reduction is to be effected by failing to fill the va cances as they occur. There are now 17,050 men in tho army, and to pay these, there is employed fifty fivo pay masters, and fifty four the paj masters clerks. During the war, one paymaster would pay almost as many men as there are now in the entire army. The other amendment is simi'.lar to that in 'he Post office bill providing that railroad companies, which received government aid in their construction shall be paid a reduced rate for carry ing Government supplies. There ap pears to be a dispostion to compel such railroads to contribute something to ward the settlement of their oblgations with the United States. This is ex ceedingly refreshing, even if it extends no farther than securing reasonable rates for the transfer of Government troops and supplies, the "LT. S. mails. One of the dishonest dodges known as sharp practice, which has been resorted to by the railroad companies which haver secured land grants, is, to delay obtain ing patents upon their lands and thus escape tho payment of taxes on them. Unpatented lands are not subject to taxation, and by this means these com panies have, heretofore, been able to avoid the ray ment of many thousands of dollars of taxes. Of course this is really, nothing butdown right thievery, but being rather cute stealingand being done by large corporations it has, so far, met with no substantial obsrutct ion. A bill has recently been intro duced in Congress, which provides that all these lands which shall not be sur veyed and patented within one year from the passage of this act shall re vert to the Government. There are now more than 150,000,000 acres of lands belonging to the Pacific railroads whfch have never been patented and up on which, no tax is paid. This bill is but compelling the performance of an act of common honesty which nohonor nble individual would hesitate for one moment to do without an act of Con gress, and should receive the assistance of every Coneressraan, and especially the members from the Pacific coast. Susarnnd Jlatclirs T. Vtlilst-jrautlTobscfo. It is estimated that this country con sumes annually more than 2,000,003, 000, pounds of sugar.. Allowing, in round numbers, our population to be 50,000,000, this would place the yearly consumption of each individuil man woman and child in the United States at 40 pounds. This sort of j.howing somewhat shakes ones confidence in the accuracy of the figures. But even if this estimate should somewlmt over state the matter it is approximately correct, at least. The revenue derived from imported sugar is now about 45, 000,000 per year. The average duty on sugar is 2J cents per pound and is equal to about 50 per cent of its val ue. In view of the fact that the sugar intcrestsCwhich this tax iajlkjLto protect, produces cent, ef t seem t propose and matcheL ?VuTe should be tliehrst to ret' tention of the reformers. both, -tho most necessary of nece'Ssitiea. Whibky is a most troublesome and demoralizing luxury and tobacco well, a fellow couldn't enjoy a 3igar if he didn't eat and he couldn't eat without sugar nor light his cigar without a match. On the whole it seems jiretty clear that whisky and tobacco, and es pecially whisky, should be compelled to pay a revenue tax. There is no reasori for reducing the tax on these, except to reduce the governments income but first let us have the tax removed from sugar and matches and a few other necessaries before talking of whisky and tobacco. Mrs. Duniway, editor and proprietor of the New Nortwcst has begun suit to restrain the proprietors of the new daily from issuing their paper under the name of tho Northwest News. The similarity in the names of the two papers is made the basis of the suit. Wo do not pretend to predict the ro suit of this suit, but it would seem, to an impartial observer, that Mrs. Duni way is just a trifle too sensitiveon this subject. Though the names are some what similar, there is, we venture to suppose, very littlo probability of the two papers becoming confused. The fact 'that the new paper is a daily would, alone be sufficient to save con fusion. Besides, if thifc new paper as sumes any greater similarity with the New Northwest than that of its name it is not likely to be worth the trouble of a law suit. There- is onl) room in so small a State as Oregon for one such paper as tho New Northwest and that publication amply covers the field. Mrs. Duniway is a sister to Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott is the editor of the Orcgon ian. The people of JNevada are making an effort.to reduce the salaries of Stale oIE cers The salaries now paid were es tablished when the mining excitement was at its height and were made in accordance with tho then prevailing prices. The Governor, for doing al most nothing, receives an annual salary of G,000; the Lieutenant Governor gets G,100 a year for doing a great deal less than the Governor. The sal aries of all the other office.? are graded in the same proportion. The mining excitement having greatly subwded, prices have been materially lowered, wages greatly reduced, but the state officers get the same as usual. Taxes are, of course, very high and the state is very depply in debt and continually getting deeper. At the last elections the candidates of both parties were pledged to the support of such changes in the constitution as would reduce the salaries and curtail the ex penses of the state consistently with prevailing prices the present financial condition of the state. The undertaker who buried the late Senator Ilill, appears to have profited by the example of the doctors and at tendants of President Garfield. The United States Senate arranged to pay the expenses of the funeral and straight way this enterprising undertaker ap peared at Washington with a bill for 3,100. He olTered to reduce the bill to Sl,800, but has not yet received pay ment even after such a discount There are a great many very mean ways of robbing the government, but this most modern, of reaching over the corpse of some celebrated, man is about the meanest and most contemptible of them all. General Sherman proposes a new method of disposing of the Indians His plan is to give to each Indian 1G0 acres of land and then sell .the remain der of the reservation and invest the proceeds in government bonds. These bonds are to be kept as a trust fund for the benefit of the Indians, the in terest on them to be divided amongst them annually. The Suez Canal was bpgun in 1858 and was completed in 18G9.
