.- -n- mm& M: ff UEK30H SBMIHBL. . JAUItMtNVII,L.E Saturday, aLakcu 8, 1884. The bill to allow tlie Oregon Pacific roRd to build one or more bridges over the Willamette river has been favor ably reported. Slater ex ects to pass the bill soon. The cae of the "New Northwest" ngainst the "Northwest News," to pre vent the latter paper from using the heading "North west News," was de cided in the Supreme Court at Salem this week in favor of the daily "Nws." The Democratic papers are watch ing John Sherman very closely. Tbey say he has made three million dollars, and is waving the "bloody shirt," pre paparatory to his caucus for the presi dency. Tilden and. Payne, will have to guth -hard to beat this in Ohio. High license is making progress. The Supreme Court of Illinois has af. firmed the Harper act, which requires a license fee of 500 a year. In Ne braska a high license is accomplishing 10 much in the way of temperance re form as to compel silence on the part of its opponents. In Lincoln and Omaha tha license is placed at $1,000 per year. In tbe country and smaller towns the fee is $500. Since the adoption of Inch license Omaha has lost half of its saloons, jchile the decrease in the country is still greater. Legislation of this sort is wise, because it. is legislation that the people will enforce. "Ore gouian." From Ayer'e newspaper annual for 1883 we gather a large-variety of inter esting information about the news papers of the so called southern states. The scarcity of Republican publica tions in the south is biraply ntnazin?. Mississippi lakes tho lead with one Republican and ninetj -one Democratic Alabama comes next with two Repub lican and eighth eight Democratic; then follow South Carolina with two Re publican and sixty one democratic, Georgia with five Republican and 138 Democratic, Texas with eleven Rf-publican- 1C5 Democratic. Aikansas with six Republican and eighty-six Democratic, etc. In view of this show ing,we agree with Editor Gorham, of tha Washington Republican, that what tlje "souih-nes-fa in n-grpatpr variety of. politcal.informalion. The people all over Oregon, so far as ascertained, says the "Corvallis Gazette," are invariably in favor of sus taining the mortgage tax law substan tially as it now stands, except the few money mongers and their sticklers in and about Portland. They would also be in tavor of sustaining it ifitwah not that heretofore they. have been loaning money throughout the country and afterwards placed the v notes and ether evidence of indebtedness out of the way of taxation and thus they es (taped paying any taxes upon such loans. Rut as the mortgage tax law defines the mortgages as real property and makes them taxable in the county whore they are recorded and where the land is situated, these bharks and bloo 1 suckers are-no longer able to swindle the public out of the burden of taxation which they should pay. If these semi outlaws do not desist from their op pressions" of the people, tbe people of very county should organize loan as nociations for the purpose of bringing in and handling eastern capital to loan to the people of the interior. The Tariff Question. There is discord in every fibre of tho TJeraocratio party, as was repre sented in Congress the other day. So much distrust never prevailed among anyclas?.- Like a pack of hungry curs they are snapping at each other's heels, and howling "coward," "sneak," 1 ingrate," etc. Tho protectilionist3 say tbefreo traders have no political sense; that if they were given full reign they would wreck the party within a fort night. The free traders declare the protectionists have not the courage to express their sentiments, and that they are too cowardly to improve the opportunity afforded them by a ma jority in the house. So it stands. There is discontent and backbiting on every hand. This condition of affairs was brought about by 'the announce ment that Randall proposed to lead a sufficient number of protection Demo crats over to the Republicans to cut off debate on the Morrison bill, knowing that it will meet with sweeping defeat in its present shape. The refusal of tbe party to take up Converse's resolution to restore the duty of 18G7 on wool was galling to that class of Democrats who favored it, and Converse is now among those who say the tariff idiosyncrasies of the party have already branded defeat on his brow, so far as the coming campaign is concerned. . Land-Grabbers- Tho "Oregonian" publishes an article exposing a vast scheme for land rob bery under the Legislative Act of 1S70, entitled "An Act, providing for the seleclioti and sale of swamp, and overflowed lands belonging to the State of Oregon." By the terms of this Act Iuid was to." be sold at $1 per acre, 20 per cent to be paid in 90 days after the date of a public notice of so lection and the balance in 10 years thereafter. Any person is authorized to file an application for land, and there is no limit on the amount any single purchaser could take. It charges that H. C. Owen of Eugene, familiarly known as "Hen" Owen, who lobbied the bill through and had the support of the Grover administration, took ad vantage of it and Gled on 4,000,000 acres in advance of the selection of such lauds by the State and approval by the general Government Much of the land was excellent for grazing purposes and was neither swampy nor overflowed. The State officers were ready and willing to concede Owen's claims, but the Government had to approve. R V. Ankeney was sent out from Washington as a special agent to make an examination. Owen selected 122, 000 acres in Lake county and borrcw e.d money to pay tho 20 per cent. He. then'gave bonds for the 42,000 to certain parties provided thty would &ell 115,000 acres at 51 25 an acre. Up to this time tho Government had not approved of the selections. One of the parties named in tho bond for $42,000 was Ankeney and he approved the selections. The land was bought by an Euglish compar.y. It wa3 also stipulated that Ankeney was to re ceive one half of the proceeds of the sales of all new filings. TIio "Oregon ian" chargps Ankeney with being liribed, and Mates further that Owen selected 150,000 acres in Grant county, which have been recently approved by the general Government, and that cer liGcates of sale were granted by the Stale in October and November last.
