POLITICIANS AT WORK.
It b stated that the Democracy will make
the beat fight possible in Southern Oregon at
the next election to seoore eontrol of the Su
preme and Dutrina Onib u tv -i
of XsVmoeratin JnAiM - TVm. .f
are bow laying plans to seoore the nomina
tions of favorites one la Jackson county,
in tam county, ana tne uura in
joenwn. ine cboloe of these three for Su
preme Judge is Priram, and for Circuit
Judges of the first and second districts.
v
- Haana and John H. Thompson.
wny this laying; of plans and concert
of action, when neither of. the gentlemen
named sau urge their claims because of
their own individual popularity or demand
on the part of the paoplo. ia diffiealt to im
agine. We will not state just yet that it is
for the reason they are afSiotad with a dis
ease or mania peculiar with those who hare
onoe held office. We might be unfair should
we say they are putting np a Job for their
own benefit. It would probably be oonsid
ered unjust by a few should it be area intis
mated that some one behind the throne is
pushing the organs forward with the hope
of accomplishing a job through the Judges
provided they are elected
, There ia one important point to be eonsid.
- erod when election day rolls round, anl
voters are abrut to oast their ballots for
Judges a Judge should not be a politician
and his is not a political office. The people
should remember that in this matter it
should not be with them whether a candi-
date is a Republican or a Democrat, but
rather whether he will make the best Judge.
- Their interests demand this much. And they
should beware of a political Judge. When
a candidate of thia kind is found one that
will lay plana as is reported some are doing
it should be remembered that such
Judge ia a politician and a trade; for offioe,
a political wire-puller, and the chances are
his hands hare been dirtied by a scheming
mind directing the setting-up of primaries
and the stocking of conventions,
"MOTHER PEANUTS."
Editor iNDBPKNnKsr: In a recent issue
of your paper I read an article oensuring
.the Oregonian for the animosity it shows to
a man who has shown himself to be an ac
tive and most worthy public servant. I re
t; ax-Senator J. li. Mitchell. - It is al
"wsys a sorry sight to we a great journal st
entiiely carried away by personal spite. The
following is a copy of a letter which I wrote
' to the Oregonian and mailed March 24th,
this year. It ia needless to say that it nev
er appeared:
- Ed. Oregonian: Will yon kindly permit
a subscriber to call attention to one aids of
two questions, now of great interest to a
majority of your readers T I refer to the
. railroad question, so long and earnestly dis
cos9ed, and also what points or advantages
should be considered necessary to recom
mend any place aa a site lor the proposes
harbor of refuge.
As regards the railroad question there ia
. one aide which I have never seen in print
, and which, I fear, disagrees with your views
. and those of Portlanders in general. You
have frequently expressed the idea that
Portland would become a great seaport in
t)a jmrnt nf the Simcaa of the N. P. R R
notwithstanding that that road would bavs
aline terminating at some-place on the
.Sound. Such hope would never be realized.
My opinion in the matter is based upon the
following proposition: 1st. A ton of wheat
raised ia Idaho, or Eastern Oregon could be
laid down on the Sound as cheaply ss at Port-
geious bar and paying a high river pilotage
and towage. 2d. Ho gnat overland railroad
could prosper and compete with the C. P. K.
K. of California wita no better seaport
than Portland as . its terminus. 84. With
the N. P. R. R. eompleted as an overland
., route, having a terminus on the Sound and
another at Portland, that city would be
, placed in the same position as Sacramento
occupies in California. , The great distribu
ting point would be at deep water on the
.Sound I suppose Eastern Oregon and Idaho
cares but little for tbe individual saooess of
either Portland or Seattle, but will ship by
such route as their interests dictate. Now,
if above propositions are correct, then Sena
tor Mitchell's views are also oorreot, to-wit :
Either a railway terminating at Portland
inXy, or no railroad at all of a tranaoonti
- nental character. My belief is that your
city would do far better if the N. P. R. K.
' should not touch the Columbia at all at any
navigable point, but that instead of it, a
number of abort local lines of railroad were
made to center there, with perhaps a line to
the Coast at such plaoe as shall be selected
for the harbor ot refuge, to ascure a shorter
and swifter passenger route to Ssn Francis
co. Also build up your river trade and pre
vent the portage from being used as a lever
- of oppression.
Tk. mi? An Itartmr ' mattav T
will here omit, as the time for discussion on
that head ia about past. But it is well
known if e ever have such a habor on our
coast we may consider it largely owing to
the efforts made by Mitchell, and his good
. judgment in railroad matters is nearer very
cation than most people suppose. Very re
spectfully, yours, W. a Labbntzkh,
Port Orford, July lltb, 1878.
STILL BETTER.
Last week we explained how, through
untiring effort, tbe present county admin
istration had in one year reduced tbe in
debtedness of the county over five thous
and dollars. This week we have farther
good news to the tax-payers. It appears
thfct there has been a redaction in the cost
of all the offices, and that the expenses of
government have been reduced one fifth In
amount annually. Coupled with this re
duction we are given to understand that
Assessor Strange is progressing so well
with hi assessing that the prospect la, at
the next September turn the tax levy of tbe
county will be reduced to twenty mills on
. the dollar instead of twenty-two as at
present. Even with this decrease ia taxs
fttlon. the good work of reducing the
county de'ut Mil continue as rapidly as
daring tha year ending with the first of
this month, and with les taxa to pay the
people will have the satisfaction of know
ing within one year from the present that
Douglas county is free from debt.
Who saya Independentiam does not pay t
Aa exchange refers to the Tilden letter,
ia which the Democratic eaadidate for the
presidency amy the rallying cry of the
campaign of 1880 mast be frand.- Well
if that is to be the cry, and Tilden U to be
the candidate, Bepotlicaoj can readil join
in.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Ed. Ihsbpendsmt la the issue of last
week's Star we noticed the speech deliver
ed at Seattle by General Joseph Lane of
your city. The reader cannot h-lp admira
log it whether be be a Republican or a
Democrat. Such sentiments uttered at
such a time as this, are noble iadeed; they
are the production of a master mind, and
could have em ins ted from no one save a
great patriot and illustrious hero. Not a
partizan word nor a litical sentiment
was heard.
The history of America ia replete with
examples of heroic daring and wonderful
endurance oi her gallaut sons. Military
glory la always attractive. The young
student of history manifests little interest
in the lives of philosophers and statesmen .
but what jouthful bosom doet not glow a1
the recital of the brilliant achievements o'
Alexander and Ctesar Napoleon and Wash
ington? The people of America may forge
thenamea of many of her dUtinpuishe-i
statesmen, but time can sever cast it
shadows far enough to obscure the nsm
of Joseph Lane. Why la he immortal? B.
cause bis plume floated in the smoke ot
battle. : Hundreds and thousands have'
planted their banners on the ' perilous
edge of battle" aud gathered their fol
lowers to the carnival of death; but on tbe
illimitable field ot fame, sentineled by the
heroes of all ages, there are but lew equals
of Joseph Lane. Our children and our
children's children will gather siouud
knees tremulous with age to ht-ar
from lips quivering with unuttera
ble ' emotion, . the story : of : his
achievements. Notwitbstsnding time has
placed its sign upon his brow and age
has weakened his manly form, yet he pos
sesses integrity as immovable a ' the
eternal hills ; honor as firm ss the rock-
ribbed mountains ; courage as lofty as the
peak that towers abov'fr. the world : truth
as unsullied as light of heaven, and charity
aa boundless as the sea. "One such ex
ample ia worth more to earth than the
stained triumphs of ten thousand Ceeaare."
Who does not admire his wisdom and his
grestness ? Let no one underrate his vir
tues. Like Napoleon, he was born to be
noted la every sphere of life- great
ia his triumphs and in retirement greet.
Tbe bigotted politician may strive
to stigmatise his fair name by calling
him "ex-rebel" and all that kind
of folly, yet he will be ever dear to .he
American heart, aa J wiT continue to live
"as long as winds shall blow around t :e
eoncavities 01 tliemuuctalue yea, a ongaa
heaven shall sustain the star. true uis
nationality is of Southern origin, yet it de
tracts naught from Ins fame. Every sec
tion of our country Is honored snd reaped
ed by every true patriot. The past is at
least sesore. Look at ber history 1 New
England gi ve to the struggle for American
Irdepend.-nce her Adams, but the South is
tbe native land of Washington. New
England is the birth place ot Webster, but
the liiibt of a Southern sky first blaa-d up
on the vision of Calhoun and . Southern
breezes first fanned tbe brow of Uenry
Clay. No more may our land be drenched
in blood; but may the North and the Souti ,
tne just and the West, uniting in a
nationally ot equal States, carry forward
the American Republic in a career of hon
or and glory unparalleled in tbe histo
ry of nations. Citizen,
Oaxxaxd Oregon, July 19. 1879.
A statement made in the the annual re-
prrt of Mr. Watson, the City Chamberlain
of Glasgow, on the vital, social and eco
nomic statistics of thst city lor the past
year, which has just been issued, shows the
fallacy of certain popular notions. Of the
14,148 deaths recorded daring the year in
Glasgow, no fewer than 8,686 were those or
infants under five years of age. In putting
the question. Whence arises this infantile
mortality ? Mr. Watson says that more
than one hundred years ago, when the facn
tory system was not in existence, and
whisky ; was almost unknown, and when
Glasgow waa little more than a considera
ble village, the experience as to the infan
tile mortality was not greatly dtscimitar.
This fact will be received with some dis
pleasure by those who hold that tetotalism
is a panacea for all evils ; but it is at least
worth their attention.
Daring some years past the operations
of the saving banks in France have increas
ed In a very remarkable manner. In Des
cember, 1875. they had received a capital of
667,000,000f ; on the 81st of December,
1878, the balance exceeded a million. The
exact amount was l,026.459.000f. The in
crease in three years was consequently
sbout 859.500.000f.
