OREGON SEHTIHEL Satoroat, Feuruaut 20, ISFB. State Ventral Committee. A meeting of tbe Republican State Cintral Coramitte of. Oregon will he Laid to tbe city oE Portland od Wednesday, March 3, 1884, at 11 'deck A. M. A fall attendance is re quested. Joseph Simox, Chairman, Geo. TT.JJcBride, Sec'y. 0. $ d M. It. Land Grant. As the Eosoburg "Plaindealer" and tbo Grant's PaBS "Courier," have lately expressed their opin ion on the above Bubjeet, we wish to lend our voice also in favor of the railroad and or the best in terests of our people. Anything that will tend to retard the comi pletion ofrthis road, will bo a public calamity The road will be a very costly one to build, maintain and operate, and those who build it require encourage ment It Will be a fair passenger road for this country, but never can be a great through freight road. Our exchanges inform us occasionally of the progress of the California end, that there are irom 500 to 1,000 men at work, etc. etc.; and the fact that tbis work is being done is used by some as an argument that the road will be built regardless of the land grant. Wo will admit this to be the case, but wiien will it bo finished. A road such as the C V. 11. R. is obliged to keep a cer tain number of men constantly employed on construction, that in case of exegencies they many be had at a moments warning. Tbe force now at work north of Delta is this reserve, and whenever there is a break in any oihor por. tion of the toad they are rushed off to repair it. This being un deniably the case, wo may not look to have the road fiuished for & number of years if they are de prived of the grant. From a re cent Btatement issued by the Laud Agent of the O. and C. It. It. it appears that tbero was sold by that company during the year last past 8,335 and 04 100th acres of , land, at an average prico ot 2.47 per acre,, but most of the sales were made on time, allowing payi ... ment to bo mode in ten annual installments. From this state, ment it does not appear that a foorman, if he bo energetic, has anything to complain of if the railroad gets the land. Tho S. P. "Chronicle" of Fob. 1st, editorially says: "Congress is opposed to any further grace to the holders of unearned laud grants. That is unquestionably the feeling of tbo people also. "When the bulk ot these grants were made it seemed as though tho public domain was inexhaus tible and as though tho lauds given away would never possess any value unless tho roads gave them value. Now tbe public domain is nearly oxhaustod and the lands have a value independ ently of tho roads" etc. etc. Wo take issue with the "Chroni iclo" on several statements con tained in tho above so far as they concern tho O. and C. grant. We cannot deny that tho present Con. gress is opposed to allowing tho unearned grants, aud justly so iu the majorrty ot cases. This is probably also tho feeling of the people in the overcrowded Easti ern Cities aud States, but not people who are directly interest, ed in our owu portion ot the country, aro decidedly opposed to tho forfeiture of tho O. and C. landgraut, for on tho immediate completion of this road, depends our rapid advance iu wealth aud population, and the development ol all our uatural resources, The land that would pass to the raib road in this case, will have no Tnrae- until tho road gives it a Talue. The. statement that,, "the public domain is nearly exhaust ed, is so exagcratcd that it is not worty of notice. The "limes" iu tho issue of the 5th says: "Senator Stanford of California has prepared a bill virtually extending tbe grant of the U. and O. K. K. Co. two years. It should never pass, for the eom- Eany in which ho is interested as had too long a time already in which to complete their read and. earn their grant Wo are surprised to 6oo the "Times" take this stand when it is so. widely known that tho C. and O. R. It. kept building as long as there was any probability or possibility of tho O-nnd C. meet-iug;them-nt the State line, and the-O.andC. kept at work as long as their .money lasted j besides, tho tact is, tho business of the eountry would not justify tho con st taction of tho road then with the land grant, and will not now without tho grant- The com panies realise this, hence their i apathy. Of Course. Carping politicians may find fault with our county government, but tbe facts and figures will bear them' out "Democratic, Times." How that the Juno election is approaching and the people are beginning to discuss the affairs of our county, mid as it is evident that there is a great amount of dissatisfaction with the methods of conductingepunty business, it is tberefoujHt surprising that the '-Deullc Times" will come to the relief as of years past and assure the dear people that economy and reform will be in augurated so that at the end of tbe term of tho present officers "the debt will be no greater than it was in 1884." Doubtless much greater promises will bo made by the "Times" before the election, in order that a democratic sheriff and clerk bo elected, that the drippings from them may tall in his pocket, for it is at the bottom of his pocket where the great principles of democracy lies. But can we expTfcl economy from a board who will allow an account of hundreds of dollars, that had beeu rejected by a former demo cratic board without a single word of explanation. The pre sumption is that their votes were wantiug and tho bill allowed as tho consideration therefor. In the lust cxibit we find that tho "Times" drew fiom the treasury for printing 320 while the S..N timll 20 This and other reasons that we might give servo to ex plain his undying fidelity to dem ocrtic principles- The heavy majority that his party has, makes tho present incumbents defiant, and these politicians care but lit tle for the dissatisfaction of the tax payers as they feel assured that their largo majority will carry them through. Iu this they may nuVjudgo tho temper of the people, for their is a time when forbearance ceases to bo a vir tue and some move may be in augurated that will affect a change for the better, it cannot be worse. Buzzing and button-holing from the numerous democratic aspir ants throughout the county makes the political field extremely lively and amusing. Tho numerous can didates renders it very difficult to fix things in such a shape as will insure piece aud harmony iu the ranlcs. As republicans have nothing to say about tbo matter, they can at least enjoy tho lively contest for the spoils. The; Situation at Seattle Seattlo, Feb. 15 Everything remains quiet here Tho miJitay authorities aro still in charge of the city, and precautions taken are not in least relaxed. The court martial to day tried private Carney, Co. C, Foun leeuth infantry, who broke into a Chineso house and attacked Chinamen on Friday evening, lie was found guilty, but his sentence is not yet made public. The milhtarv commission for trial of persons arrested on general ouarges met this morning and adjourned until to-morrow, withi out transacting any business Numerous rumors of all kinds aro afloat, but few havo cuv foundation in lact Numbers of suspicious persons are being compelled to leave the city daily. A case of rifles found iu a private house was seized by the authorities yesterday. Washington, Feb. 16. Laud Commissioner Sparks sent papers to-day to Secretary Lamar in re gard to timber depredations by Daniel Chaplin of La Grande, Ore gon, and recommended that both criminal and civil suits bo brought against him. Chapliu contracted with the Oregon Railway k Nav igation Co. to supply timber and ties for construction of the road from Meacham creek to Union. Chaplin built nine sawmills aloncr the line aud cut 8,698,200 feet of timber ou government laud and on tho "Umatilla reservation. The report to Lamar states that in the process of cutting timber 892,000 were wasted. Sparks recom mends that Chnpliu, Steinaker & Company, at Weston, and officers of the O. R. & N, Co. be indicted and prosecuted civilly. The Roseburg "Review" very 6onsibly remarks that "the denii ociatic party can beat, any other man for congress much easier JhapHon.Bingerllormaa" That is our opinion exactly- Tho peo ple without regard to party are pleased with his course since eleci tion and it is certain that the exi perience ofonoteim is essential to tho most complete succesa as a representative of 60 many and varied interests as ho isin, speak ing for a great stato like. Oregou. The anti. coolie petition sent to congress from California contains over 200,000 names. This looks like business and will attract the attention of the people of the east and awaken them to the fact that tho Pacific coasters mean what tbey-6uy by "tho Chiuese mnatgo. Au intelligent Chinaman, in ti.e course of an interview with a reporter of the San Francisco "Post" said: "We thought, tout year ago, that fell opposition to the Chinese came from the Irish, hut 8 hare teen convineeil, from subsequent events, that the whele people, Americans and all othctM upon the Pacific Coast, are tarnebt in their desire not only to restrict their coming to this country, but to txpel those al ready hero It seems to me our races are so very differently constituted that afsianlation is as impossible aj the amalgamation of oil and water. Of course, if the whites maciacred the Chinese here, our people at home would near of it, end it would natural ly result in popular uprisings at. home for the slaughter of foreigners of all nationalities. The end of tbe business will be, I think, that existing treaties between the two countries will bo ab rogated, and a limit of a tra of years fixed for the return of Chiuese in America to their own country. In a couple of months a new Chinese Min uter, Chung Ynra Putt, will be stn& to Washington, accctofidnied by another prominent Chinaman as an assistant, and then, 1 think, important negotia tions will be set on foot." Gen. Hancock was hurried at Nor ristown, Pa., his childhood's home In the morning the body wast taken from Governor's island to New York city, where it was fittingly received, Yast crouds thronged the line of march to Trinity church, there the obsequies, were held. After the services, tht dead general ws taken to Jertey City, where a epeetral train was waiting te convey the cortege to Norristown. All along the route people, ncn, women and children, ware out to sea the pas age of the black-robed cars, testifying their respect and ho.ior for the brave defender of the Union. At the tomb there were no ritei, but as the casket was placed in toe grcve three salvos, were fired from the hillside adjacent. "If Senator Mitchell's bill with some modifications, or any bill with a like purpose, ba passed, the Chinese question will be solved for all time. That bill lises fully to the gravity of the case. No odd favored Morrow's bill, who didn't know other and. more stringent measures would have to be adopted. On this act the people of every city and town of importance ou the coait should be heard on the qun tion, 'and it should be advanced ode step on the calendar. Senator Mitch ell's bill is necessarily more in accord with the rising tide of popular determ ination to exterminate tho Chinese eril, once for all, than any previous measure." MARRIED.
