Payne Bribery Case.
A short time ago our cotem
passed a high couuilimeut upon
the .Republican Senators who
were on the committee of privi
leges and elections and reported
unfavorable to investigatinKthe
bribery case of Senator Payne of
Ohio. Senator Payne is charged
with buying his way in to the
Senate, through instrumentality
of h;3 son, who is charged
with expending 200,000 to se
cure his father's election. The
committee admits that money in
a very extravngcnt manner was
used; yet such use could not he
traced directly to Senator Payne.
The compliment to those Senators
from our cotem did not surprise
us, neither will it surprise any
person who knows him
when they reflect for a
moment -'hat-Senator Hyno is -a
Democrat, thai fact covers ulf
sins and renders all investigation
as to bribery a farce. SVe-- must
confess, however, that wo are sur
prised at tho position taken by
the committee. If they at any
future time expect to impeach
one of their members by proving
that a Senator personally used
money to secure his election they
will certainly fail, for that work
is always left to true and trusted
friends who expect to be re
warded by the election of their
man. 'lho mouoy. doubtless
came from the pocket of Senator
Payne, but used by another. The
committee refusing to investi
gate so important a charge,
will not relieve tho Sena
tor irom tho odium of corruption
by a largo majority of the-peoplo
of Ohio and other portions of tho
couutry.
Conundrum.
"Would our cotem, who doubt
less knows, or some one familiar
with our county finances, give us a
correct explanation in relercuceto
our county debt. We find in ex
hibit given January 1, 1880. that
our liabilities at that time was
55, 320.54, only S1,08S.15 moic
than vgheu they entered upon
their official duties iu 1884. re
uow fiud in the July exhibit of
188G that our debt is over 80,
000 without interest. Now tho
conundrum is, what has in
creased our indebtedness so rapid
i.i six mouths from January 1,
1886 to July 1, 188G. Something
liko 2G,000 has been added to
ourdubt in that time aud we have
nothing to show forit. Some refer
ence was made to this matter be.
ibro tho olectiou, but it was
denounced as campaign has.
Tho election is over and-we ask
for information as wo confess our
inability to fathom such great
financial questions as these.
Come, Charles, please enlighten
our understanding on these im
portant questions. -
Advices from Salt Lake City
state that between six and eight
thousand of tho Grand Army boys
visited that city en route for San
Francisco. A rare opportunity
was given them to make a person
al investigation of tho wrongs of
tho Mormuu system, aud they
loft with a- better understanding
than ever betoie of that uuiquity.
The visitors caruo from all parts
ol the Umou aud will take home
with them impressions never to be
fjrgottcn. It is to be hoped that
these-imprcsssiouB will serve as
a leaven to arouso public senti
ment all over the United States
against this twin relic with tho
one they helped to destroy, and
that they will bring such pressure
to bear upon Congress as to result
hi the extirpation of tho miser
able institution.
Thero is a general demaud
for
tho re.aiiportionmout of the state
for legislative purposes, both par
ties aro pledged to promote it aud
.the chances are it will bo done at
tho next session; and while they
are at it an act tor tho catliu" of
a eonstitutiona! convention would
not lie out of tbe way.

Welcome.
Swamp Lands.
The Secretary of the Interior
has rendered aairaportunt decis
ion upon the application of Gov
ernor Moody-, requesting the Dei
partment to order the dismissal
of all contests to determine the
character of lands which have
been heretofore approved and
certified to the State of Oregon
as swampland overflowed, under
the Swamp LaDd grant.
The Secretary decides that
after approval and certification
by the Department and the Land
Office, the character of such lands
cannot again be caUed into ques
tion upon the affidavit of a contest
which merely alleges that the
land is not of the oharacter
granted. lie further holds that
a party may contest the right to
such lands prior to approval and
certification, by alleging and
proving a settlement prior to
such approval, aud that the laud
is not swamp and overflowed, but
i fit taj cultivation without arti
ficial drainage.
The lauds ueretoforc-approved
and certified to the State as
bwamp and overflowed, covered
in ttifs decision, are embraced
in what is known as List "So. 5,
Lakeview District, and contains
about 90,000 acres of land. The
State claims the remaining lauds
not approved and certified amount
iug to about 300,000 acres, which
will oe reportcu to tue jjanu
Office for approval and certifica
tion under the rules laid'down iu
this decision.
Aftor-Kent.
The "Times" audi "Courier"
have gone after Mr. T. B. Kent
in a manner that would convey
the idea that they were really
angry. We "nave nothing tosay in
reference to their personal attacks
against Mr. Kent as wo believe
him amply able to defend himself.
We, however, think that it is not
in accordance with houorablo
journalism for a paper to dictate
to the court as to what he should
instruct tho jury in this- case.
The "Times" says, 'Wo expect
the court to decide that he (Col
vig) shall continue iu the office,"
The "Courier also makes a sim
ilar expression. Now, wo believe
tho court will uot have to dic'.de
this question, us we aro informed
it will bfr-tried by a jury. We
will also say that notwithstanding,
tho "Times" editor may expect
a great deal, yet, we will take
the liberty to say that Judge Webi
ster will instruct the jury as to the
law iu this case without fear or
favor. The trying of this- case iu
the "Times" and "Courier' beforo
handwilluot have any weight with
tho Judge when it becomes his
duty to instruct the jury, as to
what is -the law in the case.
The river and harbor bill as
finally agreed upon by Congress
and signed by the President cou
taius Hie following appropriations
iu which Orcgouand Washington
aro interested: Yaquina 75,
000; Coos Bay 33,750; Cascades
187,500; Upper Columbia, im
eluding Snake river. 10,000;
mouth of tbe Columbia river
187, 5 0; lower Willamette river
75,000; Coquilie 20,000, Che
halia 2,500; Cowlitz 2,000.
These items are by uo means as
large as the nature and impor
tance of the improvements to be
made require, but will be of great
benefit to the entire coast. The
disbursing of the money for labor
and material used in the improve
ment will constitute one valuable
feature, but this improved faci I
tties for commercial intercourse
is the great benefit to which all
are 6o auxiously looking:
An exchange trutbfullv 6ays
"Tbe number of persons in a town
who desire to have it boomed are
giatifyingly large, but the uttm
ber of those who are willing to
bear a share of the expenses of do
ing the booming cau usually be
counted on the- fingers of the
band." It might add that the
enthusiastic boomers are the last
ones to eucourago their owu citii
zens who show a spirit of enter
prise. They are more likely to
be jealous of any evidence of pros
perity on the part of their towusi
men. They coutinually cry out
for strangers to come and estab
lish new industries,- while they
neglect and refuse to support
those they already have.
2 he Bosses.
We are informed that an ac
tion has been brought by T. B.
Kent against Wm. M. Colvig to
determiue who is entitled to the
office of District Attorney for
this Judicial District. Now, that
the question is to be determined
by thecotrrtSr.it is expected that
"Republican Bosses" will stand
aside and let them "fight it out
on that line-'lf it takes all winter.
It is a family quarrel of which
"Republican Bosses" have noth
ing to gain-or lose Id the matter.
We once knew a man to get his
head broke with a frying pan for
interfering in. a family quarrel.
"Republican Bosses" may be
served in the same manner by in
terfering in this.
A Mystery. '"X
How the hnman system ever recovers trout
the bad effects of the niaseous medicines often
literally poured into It' for the euppositivo
relief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa
tion, rheumatism and. other ailments, is a
mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines.
Is scarcclyzlcss than that caused by disease
Ifthcywho are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, con
stipated orrnenmatic,fould oftener be guided
by the experience of invaUds who havk thor
oughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
they would in every instance obtain the speed
lest aid derivable from rational medication.
This medicine is a searching and at the same
time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from
vegetable sources, and possessing, in conse
quence of its basis of purepirits, properties
as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in tho
ucrj. jucai uuiers ana stimulants otlen resorted
to by ta e debilitated dyspeptic, and languid.
We learn from W. L. Rrcord, unier
whose supervision the bedy of Mis.
John Parks, was difcinteneJ and re
moved to Smith River,, that upon open
ing the coffin at the above place, very
much to the nuprine of all present, the
body was found to be in a perfect 6ta(e
of petribction. .Nearly the'whole val
ley turned out to fee this very ra:
sight, as it is the Grst case of petrific
lion of a body ever known in this part
of the country. Mrs. Parks was bur
ied in this Credent Citv cemetery June
21st, 1872. Record'.
o
It is the general belief of our most
pxpert Gaherruan that the trout are
gradually disappearing in Rogue Riv
er as it is evident that they are setting
scarcer every year, and especially it is
the case this year. One of the causes'
given is thai a screpn has been placed
across the Rogue River just above
Ellennburg to prevent as la supmsed
the salmon from coining up the river.
If this is the case the authoii
ties tbou'd immediately give the mat
ter a thorough investigation. The
people of this anil Josephine counties
should interest themselves in the mat
ter and have the party or- parties who
placed it there prosecuted to tnVfull
extent of- the law.
