? OHEUON SENTINEL. JACKalldV ICL.K l Satwkday, January, 12 1884. INJIVT. The following editorial appeared in the "Oregonian" of January 2d: In filling the places vacated by Judge Stott and Hanna, Governor Moody has no doubt acted upon his information, and btst judge. Mr. Smith, who succeeds Judge Stott, was the best man available. Mr. Webster, who succeeds Judge Hanna in the southern district, is, we are informed, a young man of the highest promise, but his lack of experience is a serious fault. We arc informed that he has been a member of the bar scarcely the fourth of a year. There was an op portunity in Southern Oregon for Governor Moody to do a very graceful thintr. Judce P. P. Prim, .a veteran lawyer and judge, the choice of his democratic colleagues in the last legis lature for United States Benator, and neveral times chosen to the judgeship by his district, would probably have accepted the place; and the partisan circumstance would, have made his ap pointment highly honorable to the gov ernor and the state. It is only fair to sny, however, that in his appointments Governor Moody has not sought poli ticians, but on the contrary has resitt ed their importunities. For the information of the "Oregon ian" we will state that the petition ask ing Governor MooJy to appoint L. R. Webster to the place vacated by Judge Hanna was signed by nearly the Phtire bar of this district, also the District Attorney, Clerks and other officers of the Court, together with a large number of representative men of both political parties, including the name of Judge P. P. Prim, who says he would not have the office with the piti ful salary now offered. As regards the age, experience and qualification of Judge Webster this community is not alarmed in the least and they will be disappointed if he Joes not make as bright and honest a member of the judiciary as any now on the bench. Under the circeumstances we cannot see how Governor Moody could well have done otherwise. LA Ml CKATS OB LAD CKABS. There are indications of a determin ation on the part of some members of Congress, Republican as well as Dem ocratic, to "disturb" the "business" of some of the railroad corporations which Mill hold on to enormous land grants received from the Government, on con ditioriH they have failed to fulfill. The enormous amount of the for feited land grants may bo conceived when it is known that a single bill in troduced by that most excellent Re publican, Mr. Payson, of Illinois, re peals the grant of a total of 48,453 000 acres to fourteen corporations which have defaulted. In addition to this, Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, a Democratic Representative, has introduced a bill to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from issuing pitents for lands granted by the United States to aid in the construct ion of railroads when said railroads have not been completed within the time fixed by the various acts. Other measures have been intro duced which how that the House is in earnest in its desire to put a stop to this dangei ous source of public plun der. In Kansas, Nebraska, Arizona and other States and Territories, the grea ter portion and the best lands hae been taken from the people and be stowed on railroad corporations. In Colorado there is very little arable land left With the rapid settlement of tho West by the large foreign im migration, as well as from the older Slates, we shall before long have a scarcity of desirable land left for actual settlers, unless they purchase it of railroad corporations at whatever price may be demanded. The Govern ment should, without delay, provide against this evil by reclaiming all the forfeited grants. It is an unjust and unwise policy to thus prodigally lavish on railroad cor porations the public lands, the benefit of which should he enjoyed by the peo ple of this and future generations. It becomes a corrupt policy when the grants are made to and retained by railroads which have not fulfilled and never will fill the conditions by which they are bound. These are not land grants. They are land grabs. Sever nl of the railroad corporations, includ ing those which are under forfeit, have established land agencies in Europe and this country for the sale of land to emigrants. It is growing to be a vast and profitable branch of their business. The remedial ligislation cannot be perfected .to rapidly. A Pennsylvania protectionist paper suggests the following ticket and plat form to the Democrats of 1884. Pre.ident, William B. Morrison, of Illinois; vice president, Henry Watter- son, of Kentucky.

It was far beyond the most sanguine expecta tions of its best wishers. The people collected from "ills, cles, oilers and igh," places, until there was scarcely standing room, every available bench was jammed full. The opening exer cises was an anthem by Mrs. Grorije Kin?, Mrs. Ben.'Havmond, Mrs. AlhV Cawley and Miss Hitter. Then catmr the oration by Mr. the ad dress was extempore and the speaker showed considerable originality, and made some ery sensible suggestions. The next in order was a comedy en titled the Quiet Family. This was the master piece of the evening. Mrs. Cawley as Barnaby's wife, raved, stormed, scolded and lead (Henry Gritfi's) poor Barnaby around by the left ear, while the poor billy subjugated call, ran at tier neoK anu can like a first class hen pecked husband. Finallv however, Barnaby threw himself out side of some tangle foot, when he got a spirit of resistance in him, he went home and read the riot act to his brow beating wife, he broke up the dishes, kicked over the furniture and inii tated a drunk man to perfection, while bis frightpned would-be-tyranical wife crouched down in ho y drrad of her infurited husband. Mr. James Pelton as Benjaman ruled his household with a rod of ircn. His word was oliso lute, one glance at Mrs. Benjaman (Miss Ritter) was sufficient. No one could have played the part of a meek, cowed, humble, patient half staived wife better than she, but Mr. Barn aby whispered something in her ear, and she too retailed, and to Mr. Ben jaman's utter disgust thjj heretofore docile wife was transformed into a living brealhii-g palpitating tigress She exhibited more down square doubled distilled cussednesi, than one could believp. The result was they all came to a better understanding, settled all their differences amicublv embraced each other lovingly and all was serene. The next in order was a song by Miss Delia Pennebaker of Ashland. Miss Pennebaker has a moit thorough ly cultivated voice and is a charmim. singer. Her amiable sweet disposition makes her a favorite wherever (he goes. Then came a recitation by Miss Nel'ie Barlow aged four years. She fairly captured the audience by her cunning child like simplicity. Pro fessor Donaldson and Gardner then sung the Buccaneer's Bride. These gentlemen are accomplished musicians. The next in order was a play entitled btago btruek. Mr. Unllis was cranky on Shakespeare, Byron, Burns and other authors for he gave smat terings from everything. Then came a recitation, "The Bri lal cup," by Miss Ritter. If Mrs. Cawley was the star actress in the quiet family, and if Miss Pennebaker excilled in singing, all will admit that Miss Ritter wore the white feather as a declaimer; this is evidently her forte. She has per fect control of her voice, she threw her very aoul into the piece and brought down round after round of applause. As an eleeutionist, she will rank among the best. There were sev -eral other characters and pieces that merit notice, but we have not the space to mention all, suffice to say that the performance was a most enjoyable affair. Engineer Dolsen didn't exactly un derstand why he got a complimentary pass to the entertainment New Year's eve, and had to pay fifty cents to get inside the house. He wanted to know whj thisly was so much thusly. Mrs. Hunt Magruder is lying dan gernusly ill with consumption. Kelly and forty armed men as a Sheriffs posse, passed through Rock loint Monday with blood in their eyes. They go to take possession of the disputed mining claim on Coyote creek. A. J. Barlow saj s he has lost no R. R.'s hence does not intend to build any. He went to work with the track layers, and the foreman, a son of ould Ireland, sang out, "Misther Birlow yes kin load that ty care." B. said King's excuse, and struck a straight bee line for Rock Point. Mrs. Nort Edings is stor ing at White's Hotel and Nort drives in smiling every evening. Mr. Hassett contemplates .trying the Couer d'Aleno mines a rattle in the spring. We unintentionally omitted to mention that little Ada Hassett play ed the part of the little flower girl to perfection at the entertainment. She was also in a tableaux representing a winged angel. The scene was beau tiful. A. J. B. A single feature of this country is the absence of nut-bearing trees. We see the fruit dealers in towns have all sorts of nuts for sale, hickory nuts, chestnuts, pecan nuts, filberts, wal nuts, that are grown east of the Rocky Mountains and we wonder why people here do not plant them and drive the foreign produce from the market. It is with nuts as with fruil, people can not wait so long for a. crop. But the nut tree can be put along the road, or in the door yard and not take up much space. In tinw it will be handsome shade trees and bear its fruit. The whole of the treeless interior offers a good field for nut bearing trees as there is thousands of timber culture taken up there and in planting their timber groves the owners can experi ment with such trers. Both the chest nut and the hickory make good tim ber. Thi chestnut is very enduring for posts. Those trees grow large and are handsome and will answer f r timber culture planting. The value ot nut bearing trees is not a matter of doubt and we hope to see the experi ment of growing them in this country made suc:esful. "Farmer." HARDVTAltE, IRON AKD STEEL.
