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.

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.

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.
