THE INDEPENDENT, BOSEBURQ. SATURDAY. ! ACQ. 5, A DAY DREAM,! ; We can conceive of many strange things. We can picture to ourselves bow a people can become so indolent, bo neglectful of their rights that they would submit to shameless, open rob bery. 1 n fact, to give our imagination wildest play, we could image a people that would choose for their rulers des perate and reckless men. A nation of men who would choose for their execu tive an individual of Jesse James' character, a bold, fearless, ojen rob ber and murderer, a man who would be expected to draw a pistol on 'whomev er he might meet and demand "your money or your life." Ilia . appointees we would expect to be men of the same stripe who would look upon the people- as legitimate game for open robbery. We can conceive that this people would no sooner see one of their officials apptoaching than purses would be in ready hands to bo deliv ered on demand. The more expert, the more bold aud dariog an officer would be, the higher we would expect the people to elevate him. In this we have given our imagination play. There are other kinds of thieves than the lion and the eagle, however. We have the coyote and the fox variety. The sneakthief and the pickpocket It requires no Btretch of imagination to discover the people that bow down and worship before this idol. Thei Ameri can people have for President! a man charged by another President with being this kind of an individual. The American people have for their leader in the popular branch of congress a man of th8 same Btripe, George M. Robeson. ' The dominant party of the United States retains for secretary cf its national organization a $3,Q00,QOO regrie. A salary of $5,000 for six years or less has made a thousand juullionaiies out of American officials. The people expect it. They expect to be robbed by one out of every two officials, and the man who steals is elevated and the other fellow is retired. . Yet, this is the republic of; Wash ington, of Adams, of Jefferson and of Franklin. Another century and our first picture would n it be overdrawn, and why would not the people as suon give their money to Jack Shepherd as to Stephen Dorsey or George Bobeson? Would it not be a good plan to hunt this country over and find an i honest man and place him in the executive chair 1 Sooiebody would go ; to the penitentiary in that case. j ON MITCHELL. The most important question before the people of Oregon to day is the elec tion of Senator. Of the many aspi rants for this honorable position we are sorry to say there is roone worthy whom there is a chance of electing. Of Mr. Mitchell who has the best of the race thus far, no one knows any good. He has no quality which en dears him to the better class of people . in Oregon or elsewhere. He is a dem agogue and a political trickster of the worst kind. He represents all that is bad and corrupt in American politics, which, God knows, is as low as a man can get. His election means boesistn and 8talartism in Oregon. It means that every senseless donkey who has tied himself to the fortunes of the big amist shall have an office. It means the kicking out of the few honest inde pendent federal officials in tbU state . and their replacement by the tools of thislobyist It means that the Re publican party shall be wiped out of existence in this state and a Mitchell organization, with as despotic power as the Cameron s maintain m Pennsyl vania, take its place. We protest against ths outrage. ., In the name of . honesty, in the came of patriotism, in the name of common sense we protest against it. We call upon the domi nant party to halt in this undertaking. We call upon the people to assert their rights. Let it be distinctly understood that no. n.an who votes for Mitchell can have any political future. He deserves none. There is not a county in the state that does, not contain an honept, intelligent, industrious gontle man in every way orthy the sena torahip. Let such a man be' chosen. ". It woujd be a disgrace to Oiegon to elect Mitchell. It would be an insult to the senate of the United States, and could only be accounted . for on the grounds that his merit, such as they are, exceed those of his Satanic Majes ty; otherwise the legislature capable of electing him would, prefer the Devil in person, j ii m m m f The Egyptian war is liable to prove a wrious source of trouble toj England. Arabt Pasha has established acmplete system of government at Cairo (and tis army numbers oter 100,000 strong jWciced by the sinews of war which that country affords, whilst France and the other European nations have determined to remain neutral,1 and Turkey declines to send aisisUnc. TARIFF AND THE COMMISSION. The protective tariff which has been in force in ths country for the twenty years past has been fully demonstrated, both by logic and experience, to be discriminating in its provisions in favor of the few at the expense of the many; to be unjust and subversive of free government and deleterious to the interests of an . agricultural people.' The twenty years' experience we have had has succeeded in closing our navy yard, in destroying our ship ping, iu driving our flag from the high seas, the great highway for all nations; in increasing the coat of transportation of our produce from the interior to the seaboard to double what it would oth erwise be. As a result of the tariff the produce is carried from the seaboard to market in foreign bottoms, under foreign flags, under a jobber's ebat ter contract at from one hundred and fifty to three hundred per cent, advance on the actal cost These years' experience have succeeded in loading the industri ous farmer with debt .and burtheninsj the land wjtb heavy mortgages from Maine to Oregon. , Notwithstanding the country is awa kening to the situation and demanding a revision of this unequal and exorbi tant system of taxation, the present congress of the United States, o pre vent action on this question and enable the manufacturers and jobbers to con tinue to replenish their coders at the expense wf the farmer, mechanic and laborer, has appointed the'so-called tariff commission for the ostensible purpose of revising the schedule list of duties. It has been in session for a long time at Long Branch, at great ex pense to the government, listening to the twaddle and sophistry of hired advocates for an increase of duty on specific articles of manufacture, mostly upon those articles of greatest necessity to the laborer and farmer, with thereaJ purpose and intent of blinding the peo pie to their rights and interests, and to manufacture public sentiment iu favor of this system of robbery. Dtu ing this time the Republican majority injcongiess is seeking by this "coup d' etat" to escajte the responsibility of delayed action on this question for which an outraged public will, sooner or later, call them to an account. THE HA RBOR OF REFUGE. An extract from a prominent San Francisco paper is not very flattering to the people of Southern Oregon nor to the shipping interests of the North Pacific slope. . It is no doubt attribu table, in a great measure, to jealousies and action of the people of the little seaport towns in the vicinity of Port Orford, in their representations to the engineer!". But if numerous disasters and loss of life in these waters, taken in connection with the growing impor tance of the commercial interests of Oregon and Washington Territory, is not sufficient evidence to these verdant engineers, it should be proof positive to all liberal-minded statesmen and representatives who hold the interest and commercif.1 welfare-of thd country at heart The San Francisco Merchant of July 14th, says: "The result of the discussion on the best location for a harbor of refuge between this port and the Columbia, which occupied so much space in the commercial journals of California" and Oregon, two or thrae years ago, and which developed considerable acerbity in some writers, has ended in nothing. Port Orford, it was generally under stood, was the point agreed upon us the location of the refuge, and the decision, when made, was generally acquiesced in. In the debate in the Senate on the ( appropriation, we learn that the Board of Eu&ineers apjiointed to examine the mitter had not determined on Port Orford as the locality, and indeed had not decided upon the necessity of such a harbor at all. Senators Grover and Miller asked for an appropriation of $150,000. That was a modest sum, just enough te start the work; but the Senate refused. Yet, we cau hardly blame the Senate, if what Senator Miller said is correct, that the Board of Engineers were not unanimous on the necessity of such a harbor; but we have the right to criticise the judg ment of engineers whe can soe no neces sity of a harbor of refuge midway between the Bay of San Ftancisco aud the Columbia River. A few days' anxiety in a disabled steamer contend- f ing with winter gales would probably work a radical change in their views on this subject, and if any unfortunates are to be so exercised, we .hope the non consenting members of the Board or their dearest relatives may be among the sufferers." Last nights dispatches info) m us that the River and Harbor "bill was passed by the 'necessary two thirds vote over the President's veto, by both houses of Congress. The increased 'Hpprojmation for Oregon proposed by Senator G rover's amendment, was passed with the bill. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL The telegraph informs ns the Cabinet decided to recouvmd that the river and harbor bill bo vetoed. We have no means of knowing upon what grounds the vete is based, except what we knew from the dispatches to the associated press. From these we learn that the principal objection is that the bill is too extravagant The bill appropriating $100,000,000 for the pension list was pas sd in both houses without a division when it was well known that three fourths of this appropriation would never reach the hands of those who were really deserving, the balance being "gobbled up" by pension sharks. While it may be true that the vetoed bill contained useless appropria ions it undoubtedly centained many of vital importance, especially to the people of this coast. In Oregon alone the dam age ellected by the veto is incalculable. The .vork already done on the Colum bia, Yaquina, Coos Bay, and the CVxjuille harbors amounting to mill ions will be wholly lost by the failure of the appropriations to continue the work. Itis said that Conklirg pro cured this veto as he did that for the protection of immigrants for a large fee. Whatever induced the act, it is a fatal blow at the material interests of the Pacific Coast, and can never be forgiven. We forbear further men tion until we receive the veto mes- Secore Robeson openly boasted in the house of representatives that every ship that now floats the American flag and carries her guns were the product of his corrupt jobbery, by which mill ions were filched from the United States treasury, all of which he oj)euly admits. For this he claims immunity from punishment on the ground of limitation, and jet he has the brazen effrontery to ask congress to appropri ate millions more to be pocketed by this corrupt navy jard ring, of which ho is the acknowledged head.
