r OREGON SENTINEL JACKHOJVY II.LR I Batbbdat, May 5, 1883. THE MeMAHO.X CASE. The report that Wm. HcMahon, the yonng man 'who is now under bonds upon the charge of murdering his fath er, has left the country, whether true or sot, ha! served to bring that case again to the front in a manner little calculated to advance the judicial rep station of the magistrate who com mitted him. It will bo remembered that, the coronors jury which was sum moned to inquire into the cause of the death of this joung man's victim, after a careful and thorough examination rendered a unanimous verdict te the effect that his death was caused by the intentional act of the accused. Upon thiB verdict being placed in possession of Esquire Boot of Ashland precinct, a warrant was issued for his arrest and the cate was further inquired into by that magistrate. The result of his deliberations was, that the accused be held to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars to appear before tho grand jury at the next term of Court. The charge upon which the prisoner was examined was that of killing his father. "Unless thejudicial acumen of Esquire Boot has revealed some new rules regulating do mestic relations which renders tho killing of a father by his son some thing less of a crime than is attached to the same act among other individuals, he has certainly committed a blunder 'which his common sense, to say noth ing of legal knowledge, should have prevented. The defense interposed by the prisoner was that of self defense. Upon this issue he was examined. He was either guilty or innocent of tho charge upon which he was arraigned. If guilty, he must have been guilty, under our statute, either of murder in the first or second degree, or man slaughter. Without inquiring into the extent of the crime it may be, for the present, admitted that under the evidence adduced before the Justice, it was manslaughter. But how a Justice of the Peace in the full possession of ordinary fac- ulties could ently fixed the -bail under. at so insig- "rifican.t a su' - d - ll - rr ruses onr.Blcusluu- iiuumn life must indecVated very cheap in Jackson county when such a sum as this is deemed sufficient recompense for the escape of a person guilty of such a crime. Or is it possible that the re cent course of criminal justice in this county has been such that, in the esti mation of Esquire Boot, this sum was sufficient to overbalance the criminals fear of justice? However this may be it is manifestly unsafe to commit our criminals to the hands of a magistrate who has so low an estimate of human life or so high an estimate of money. There appears to be some prospect that the Bossburg and Coos Bay rail road will be undertaken in earnest by seme Boston capitalists. Several gen tlemen representing a Boston company are now on their way to Coos Bay to make a thorough investigation of the matter. Tho company controls a large tract of coal lands in the vicinity of the bay and proposes to build this road as an outlet. The whole of Southern Oregon will be benefited by the build ing of this road, but especially Bose burg and the TJmpquoh. We take pleasure in congratulating our neigh bors upon the prospects presented by this enterprise and hope that the road may be soon begun and speedily com pleted. Green B. Baum, Commissioner of In ternal revenue, has resigned. There are various rumors afloat as to the cause of his resignation and the one most generally accepted is, that his resignation was brought about in order to put a damper on the Presidential prospects of Senator Logan. Baum Becured his appointment through the influence of the Illinois Senator and 'was doing all he could to further the ambition of his patron. No appoint ment has yet been made to fill the va cancy occasioned by this resignation. Secretary Lincoln, says a Washing ton dispatch, declines to authorize the expenditure of 210,000 appropriated for the improvement of the Sacramtnto and Feather rivers. The wisdom of such an appropriation may be exceed ing questionable, but the Secretary eems to be stretching matters a little in thus constituting himself a court of ruview upon the acts of Congress. This action may be very popular in the East but it is not likely to make him many friends on this side of the moun- tains. Over 200,000 pounds of manufac tured tobacco was shipped out of St. Louis on the 2nd. Several special trains loaded entirely with tobacco were sent out carrying shipments to all parts of the country. ABOUT HOGS. The action of the German govern ment in prohibiting the importation of American pork is one of the most ar bitrary and inexcusable measures of which that very arbitrary government has recently been guilty. The pre tended reason upon which this measure was founded, and which that tjovern- nient took great pains to publish to the world, is that American pork is dangerous as food on account of tri china. Tho presence of this little par asite in pork, not only American but German and English as well, has long been an acknowledged fact. That it is poisenous and has been known to pro duce death, is also well authenticated. But it is equally well known that cook ing pork effectively distroys these para sites and renders the meat not only harmless but wholesome. If Ameri can pork only, was thus affected there might be some reason in the position of Germany; but it is well known that trichina was plentifully found in Ger man pork and that trichinosis was by no means unknown in Germany long before any pork from America had been shipped to that country. Neither has the shipment of our pork had the effect of increasing the spread of that disease. It is perfectly plain, notwith standing tho clumsy attempt of the German government to conceal the real truth, that the only purpose of the em bargo laid upon our hog, was tho pro tection of home productions. This is the light in which the press and people of this country regard tho matter and measures are accordingly being taken to retaliate upon Germany, not as a means of positive gain to 'ourselves as much as to teach the arbitrary Emper or a little lesson in American independ ence and at the Lame time assert our own self respect. Minister Sargent has reported a great many interesting facts to this government touching the feeling in Germany and showing the real causes of the exclusion measures which they have adopted. For this he has been severely censured not only by the Gei man press, but by some of our Eastern papers. This is a poor reward for his fidelity and watchfulness and the charge that Sargent has been playing the spy is sufficiently answered, if in fact any answer is needed, by the fact that his greater part of his information was ob- - U0:,nw from Q- -.papers OTul.J tiiereniBiui., such only as anv inte'--r gent and observant person migliE have obtained. One German paper goes so far in its criticism of Minister Sargent as to demand his recall, which shows that American newspapers do not possess a monopoly of journalistic cheek any more than our hogs contains all the trichina. lUlITOUIAL .NOTLS. Eight European steamers landed 6,243 imigiants at Castle Garden last week. On account of the reduction in the tobacco tax, cigar makers are demand ing an increase of wages. The latest Democratic Presidential ticket is headed by Senator McDonald of Indiana and tniled by John P. Stock ton of New Jersey. A steamor arrived at Boston on tho 29th with 1,200 steerage passengers nearly all of whom had been sent here at the expense of the British govern ment Ex-President Diaz got mad the other day because, as he said, the newspapers lied about him. He does not seem to know the difference between a lie and a guess.' As a matter of news it is perhaps proper to remark that the lawyers for the government in the star route trial are now engaged in presenting the case to the jury. w The "President of Mexico has sent'a special message to Congress asking per mission to negotiate a loan of two or three million dollars to meet the ex penses of government. It is rumored that some dynamite fiends have threatened to blow up the" Brooklyn bridge if it is dedicated on the 24th. The reason assigned is that that is Queen Victoria's birth day. Seven hundred mormon recuits ai. rived at Council Bluffs on the 29th on their way to Salt Lake. And yet some people are trying to pursuade them selves that the polygamy ulcer will heal itself. The members of the Boyal house hold of England were terribly torn -up the other day by the sudden discovery that all the'keys of Windsor Castle had been stolen. No clue has so far been obtained to the solution of this singular ocurrence. Cyclones have recently been doing great damage in Mississippi and Loui siana. The loss of life and property has been very great In some in stances whole neighborhoods were com pletely depopulated and all buildings destroyed within a few hours. CAPITAL AMI LABOK. Tho real relation of labor to capital is a matter upon which the political economist have puzzled themselves and mystified their readers, ever since the science of political economy has been known. One writer pronounces- it an "irrepressible conflict" maintained on the one side by the unreasoning arro grace of wealth which seeks to increase itself at the expense of the muscle and brainofthelcss fortunate partof human ity, and on the other, by an oppressed assemblage of individuals striving by every means in their power, fair and foul alike, to wring from their unwill ing masters some share of the profits of their labor. Others again, shape their theories to suit an ideal state of society and seek to show that these apparently antagonistic elements, are in reality only separate parts of a har monious wheiu'aiid that at &b4 their demands .are indenticalv individual selfishness and personal am bition could be eliminated the problem would cease to puzzle. Great under takings, such as- have characterized the last half of this century, cannot be carried out without an aggregation of capital. Capital must be united in order to secure sufficient power to effect great commercial enterprises. When this power is once eeenred there is great danger that the selfishness and ambition of those who control it will render it oppressive as well as pro gressive. This is no argument against th policy of encouraging these aggre grtions of capital, any more than the fact that an educated criminal is more dangerous to societv than on ignorant one, isananjument againstour common schools. No oue pretends to deny the right of capitalists to organize these aggregations of wealth, and no one r -fuses to admit the great pood which such an arrangement usually produces. But no enterprise of any material ben efit to the country can be conducted without the assistance of labor. All this wealth is useful only as-the motive power of mental and muscular labor. Capital is thus put in the position of soliciting the assistance of labor, and it is only by reason of the present pos session of greater power, that its in vitations are too often- commands. The selfishness of capital economizes itself by reducing labor to the lowest possible price, and with organization on ,., no-Bide anil "disorganization'" ""--tha bTKerjIhaif price wiirbTregu lated m. the basis of bare existence to the labors. It is this weakness and the advantage which capital has made of it, which long ago set the laborers to imitate the exam ple of their employers and secure to themselves tho advantage of'union. For each man to oppose his individual ef fort against the strong arm of the money pon er was worse than useless, but for labor to present a united front against the oppression of selfiishncss and ambition was not only right but must prove effective. If it is right for capital to unite and" declare that it will only pay sojmuch for labor, is it not equally right for labor to unite nnd declare that it will pay only so much for capital! In all this there is noth ing of offence, or riot, or bloodshed If any number of men unite upon a solemn agreement to perform certain work for a stipulated price only, 'here is certainly nc crime committed and any one who violates tho compact, un less upon the strongest necessity, may be justly regarded as a lraitor,.ttn& not to be trusted. And if these men carry their offorts one step farther, and pur suado other workmen to quit work and join them in an effort to secure better wages is there still any wrong done or crime coramited? Crimes must of course be punished; and any forcible interference by one man with the right cf another should feel the penalty of tho law. But the fact that "atrikers" sometimes MortoljiwlpssnessJis no excuse for condemning the whole sys tem and theory of "Trades Unions" any more than tho abuses of corporations justifies a limit to the acquisition of wealth. There is a gradn of wheat raised in this state called the "goose wheat" It has a hard coarse grain and makes a grade of flour peculiar to itself. It derived its name from tho fact that the Grst few grains from which all of this wheat originally came was taken from the craw of a wild goose. No wheat like it is knewn in this country and it has always been a matter of wonder where it came from. From samples of foreign wheat on exhibi tion in the Agricultural Department at Washington it has been ascertained that the exact duplicate of this wheat is raised in a small province in Spain where it has long ben cultivated. This is the only other place, so far as known, where such wheat is raised. The goose that furnished us with our first seed must have been sadly afflicted with indigestion, or must have made good time in his flight from the Span ish whcatfield.
