l-' 'JWLTT7 OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSO.VVILLKl Saturday, February 3, 1883. EDITORIAL .NOIXS. Senator McPherson Las been re elected from New Jersey, and Senator Coke from Texas. In Kansas Plumb was elected after a sharp contest and in Weit Virginia John E. Kenna suc ceeded in carrying ofT the honors. The inquiry into the Newball House disaster seems, so far, to indicate that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The bar keeper of the hotel is now under arrest for this crime anil circum stances point pretty clearly to him as the man guilty of- this awful deed. It is reported that the robbers who recently attempted to rob the express train on the Central Pacific road have been surrounded iu the mountains near Montello. The gang is said to be well known. Three of them are ex convicts and the others are cow boys. The Legislature- of Arkansas, has tiie rt.inurrox ciiil gum ice dill- There seems to be an impression among the people that the Pendleton civil bervice bill, which, by the way, is now a law, actually places the power of appointment in the various Boards of Examiners. Such, however, is not the case. The Boards of Examiners simply say who shall not be appointed. No person can be appointed under this law who does not reach a certain stand ard of qualifications; and appointments must be made from the applicants having obtained the highest percentages in the examination. The second clause in the second section says: "All offices places and employment shall be filled by selection according to grade from among these grided highest, as the result'of such competitive exam ination." If this provision is carried out, applicants will practically appoint themselves, lhe appointment will at least depend upon the record they make in the examination, it is urged that there will be favoritism that examinations may be so conducted as to favor a particular applicant.

The bill, it is said, will be signed by the governor. Having swallowed their scruples to this extent, the wonder is, that the legislators did not make one more gulp, and pay the entire debt The Marquis of Lome is at "Wash ington. He took dinner at the White House the other day. It took a half column of Press dispatches to tell this fact to fifty million people very few of whom cared whether ho took his din ner at the White House or at a two bit restaurant. John B. Gough, the celebrated tem perance lecturer, is opposed to the at tempted prohibition legislation. He says that moral deration is the only remedy for intemperance. Yon can not make men moral by legislation, and whatever of real, permanent good is accomplished in the way of temper ance reform, must be done by moral suasion. Gustave Dore, the famous French painter and designer, is dead. Any one who has ever seen his wonderful pictures, cannot but regret that such a man should ever cease to enrich the world with the fruits of his labors. His Illustrations of the "Biole," and of the "Ancient Mariner," are perhaps those of his works which are best known in this country. This world is made much poorer by Dare's death. Herr Moat, tlio Gorman socialist is not satisfied with the progress ho is making in this country, no coni plains'that the press and people of the United States, have not given him a fair chance. Well perhaps Mr. Most is rightl We are a brave and generous people, and have always relied upon our cizilization and good sense to protect us against such enterprising outcasts as this dynamite dutchman. Some time, though, this sentiment of liber ality may prove insufficient to restrain the just indignation of peaceable law- abiding citizens, and a new law will find its place in our codo condemning such socialistic scamps to preach their infamous doctrines within the walls of a penitentiary. Congress is still at work on the tariff bill. Prom the muliplicity of conflicting interests involved in this question the present bill is likely to be something in the nature of a compro mise. There is, however, a fair pros pect that the pending bill will event ually be passed in such a way as to correct a great many of the evils of the present system. The recent tariff commission, despite the adverse criti cism to which it was subjected, render ed a great service to the country by assisting our legislators to a bettpr un derstanding of the subject in hand. The present discussion must be very interesting reading to those valiant Democrats who have so strenuously insisted that the tariff was a party ques tion. To any one who is in the least familiar with the history of this ques tion, it goes without saying, that it is not, and never has been, a purely par .ty matter. It is entirely a sectional issue in which each part of the country shapes its opinions according to its in terests. Self interest is the basis up on which almost all the tariff argu ments are constructed. In a commu nity where agriculture is the principle industry, free trade w ill be found to flourish in the greatest perfection. If manufacturing is the chief occupation, protection ideas will prevail. Not protection of all industries, but of the particular one in which that communi ty is engaged. Between all this mul titude of conflicting interests, each one striving to succeed at the expense of all the others, an average must be ar ranged, which will be acceptable to all, or at least a majority. It would not be surprising if a perfect system, en tirely satisfactory to everybody should not be evolved .from bo much conflict and confusion. of this nature; it would be expecting too much to assume that exact impar tiality will in all cases be observed. But between the parties the cxaroi nation will bo substantially fair. The party now in power will generally have two members of the Board of Ex aminers and the parly out of power will heve one. If there is any favor shown on account of politics the mi nority member can at least make the fact known. The principle of re quiring a certain standard of qualifica tions in applicants for responsible po sitions is a sound one to establish. Wo apply this principle to tho school de partment in this city, and in spite of occasional irregularities it works well. The applicants must present evidence of at least educational capacity before their claims can be considered by the appointing ower. It dees not follow that the applicant who attains the highest percentage on examination will make the best teacher. But this ob jection may be considered when some method of appointment is discovered which promises in all cases to insure the best possible results. Under the Pendleton act the appointee must be taken from tho highest grade of appli cants. The ability to make such a record may not include the ability to fill the position more efficiently, than some applicant who stood lower in the list, but it at least insures respectable (-attainments.- If -tho successful "an plicant is unfit for any cause to perform the duties of the office, the fact, when established, becomes a cause for re moval. "S. F. Call." The S. F. "Call" reporter had a talk with John Muir, Superintendent of traffic of the Western Division of the Northern Pacific, who was in San Francisco last week. He thought the Northern Pacific would be completed between St. Paul, Minn., nnd Port land, Ogn., by next August. A query as to the effect upon California by the completion of the Northern Pacific, brought out a broad grin upon the face of this gentleman being interviewed, and in a moment the reporter, instead of receiving an answer, was assailed with questions, which, as he was not the recipient of the confidences of in ner railroad circles, induced him to abruptly abk when railroad connec tions would bo made between this State and Oregon. Seemingly pleased at the turn the subject had taken, Mr. Muir, vouch safed the comprehensive information that he did not know. Ho did think it possible that some time next vear such an event mir-ht ta'pien, but LtCr-lL-O'J.JuAtwcening gap would ne cessitate some very heavy work. Sev eral tunnels were to be constructed and the difficulties incident to heavy grades had to bo overcome. When completed the connection between the road from this end, under control of the Central Pacific, would meet that of the Villard system at or a little south of the State line. The northern line was being extended south as fast as circumstances permitted. Mr. Muir also spoke of a particular feature to be inaugrated for the com ing summer in the way of excursion parties to particularly inviting regions in the north. The principal one would start in June for Alaska. These trips would be made as frequently as circumstances permitted from San Francisco, Portland and the Sound ports. Fares from here would bp 125, and everything furnished, while from Portland they would be 93. The excurison from here would last twenty five days, and as there would be no opportunity to spend money on the trip, he thought tho opportunity to economize and at the same time enjoy sights, scenes and recreation should be a commendation to bo appre ciated. Other excurisons up tho Columbia river, and to unfrequented points on the sound, etc., liavo been projected and the gentleman thought the completion of the Northern Pacific would be the commencement of a- se ries of excursions to tha northwest by parties from the East. To accommo date theso excursions the finest steam ships now in service on tho coast would be drawn upon. The deatiof jSainbetta has served to unsettle affairs in France to an ex tent which presents the greatness of the dead hsro in. a stronger light than did any of tba .eulogies of his most ardent admirers. Hardly was he in his grave, until the Bonapartists, who had not dareil?to push their preten sions above tmrsurfaco while he lived, publicly proclaimed their right to rule, and their intention to re-establish the Empire with '.Jerome Bonaparte as its head. But the strength which the GEID m ISQUEJ HUNTERS EMPORIUM! 5v Republic had' acquired under the fos tering care of such men as Gambetta was sufficient to sustain it against the assault, and the preaumptious Prince was promptly seized and sent to prison. Although tho danger of a Bonapartist upriring is not entirely over, and in decision and inbarmony seems to rule in the Cabinet, there appears no imme diate danger to the Eepublic. The government feels sadly the want of a leader in this emergency, and tho in estimable valao cf Gambetta was nev er so keenlyirealized as now.

It is a great pty to annoy him with these criminal proceedings. He might make a useful member of soci ety and it would be in accordanco with the eternal fitness of things for that heavy weight defective who occupies the Governors chair, to appoint the outlaw his private secretary. Railroad talk seems to have com pletely subsided between here and Red ding, says the Yreka "Journal," ex cept that there is a revival of the rum or along Sacramento river about build ing up the coast, in place of coming from Redding through this county to Oregon. fli JJ.II1 mnlWiMAHII J iii.W.'IM .!!

DEALER IN ALL KINDS OF AGRI cultural implements, tools of all kinds and a general assortment of shell hardware. TIIC 5ICAIC A;l A CA.N AL, EE -AKiLa Hawaiian Treaty. Tho Nicaraguan canal bill, as re ported, provides that the government shall guarantee three per cent, inter est on 75,000,000 of the company's bonds, for the period of forty years. This guarantee clause, excited so much opposition, that the bill was almost certain to fail; and it is now proposed to strike out this clause, and insert in stead, a provision that the government shall control the work of building tho canal, and shall pay the canal com pany for whatever use it may make of it, "on a bais proportionate to the re ceipts of the canal for a year prior to its occupation by tho United States." This, though apparently fair enough on its face, has an unpleasant suspicion of jobbery connected with it. Why should not the government pay the rpgular rates, the same as other persons who may use tho canal) The project ors of this canal scheme have been la boriously urging the necessity of gov ernment aid in their work, and, dis appointed in one scheme, they may naturally be expected to resort to an other. If the government is to extend any assistance, it should be done in such a manner that the extent of the assistance may be clearly marked. The present political outlook of the isthmus is not the most re assuring, and the occupation of the canal by this government may lead" to serious com plications with France, The canal should be constructed and controled by the United States in its own interest, and not in the interests of speculators. If this were done, French opposition would amount to nothing more serious than groundless protests. This canal is one of the certainties of the future, and our government will lose a great opportunity if it permits the present short sighted policy to prevail. 6553 5 fans mmm "The Oregon Mist," published at St. Helens Oregon, and edited by Will iam Glendye isthe most recent addition to the periodical literature of the State. It is a non-partisan non political week ly. Wo own to some misgivings about a country paper without any politics but cordially wish it the best of success and hope it may rain a vt hole deluge of wisdom npon its subscribers. There appears to be but small hope that the Hawaiian treaty will be con sidered by Congress, during the pres ent session. The condition of legisla tion is such that this subject cannot be reached, in its regular order, before the adjournment. Indeed, it is very doubtful whether, if it could be reach ed, any relief would be afforded. The great misfortune R that the curse of this treaty is visited only on the Paci fic Coast. The eils which beset this section of the Union, seem to have very little weight with eastern mem bers; and it is no great wonder that tho people of this coast are beginning to become somewhat embittered to ward our neighbors on the other side of the Rockies. Our situation will naturally present questions, which are, more or less sectional, and unless tho east consents to allow us to say what is, or is not, for our advantage and ceases presuming to tell us what we do, or do not, want, it is to be feared we will stand but a poor show of receiring our fair share of attention. Some of our law makers profess to see such won derful riches, present and prospective, in these islands as to desire their an nexation to the United States. This, of course, is one step too far for even the most devoted admirer of Sir Claus and his islands, to seriously expect to carry the govprnment. But it serves to show something of tho sentiment which at present prevails, and points but too clearly at the end of our hopes of relief from the sugar monopoly. One of the silliest, thinest, most con temptible, subterfuges yet resorted to, to cscapo the consequnces of criminal carlessness, is that of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in relation to tho recent calamity on their road. It is now insisted, by tho company and its employes, that tho accident was caused by tramp releasing the brakes, and that their purpose was robbery. It would certainly sepm that this company had sufficiently earned the condemnation of the public by the commission of the great crime of a few days ago, without attempting to insult it with such a shadowy excuse. This beggarly ghost of a trumped up theory, only aggravates their guilt, by showing the extremes to which they find thembelves reduced. cl ays Oaros cs.d r.ovor disap points, tho i7orIJ.'s greet 3?cia RoSiovcr for Kid raid Eeaai. r-rrcKEji'S castobia is not Narcotic.
