TriE INDEPENDENT. " i i .I KOSEHUKO. SATURDAY, OV.;18. THE LESSQIf OP THE ELEGTIOS. Our Kepubliean friends have not yet recovered tlieir c';animity siueo their overwhelming tie lent, in the. November elections, arul- are .blindly' gropinsj. to ascertain thfVcatiae. 'A majority of the leading Republican jajer3, including the Oregonian, rlaiai' that it was their handiwork, thai' the powerful political tirades which emanated from their of fices against the stalwart and the bo-is-s, was the cause of the downfall of the Grant and Arthur'-dynasty; that the Republican party now. purified, as by ie, of thesov corrupt elements, will henceforth march to victory. Had the Democratic victory -been conSned to the States of New York and Pennsyl vania, where a division of the Republi can party alone existed, there might be some logic in this argument. But when the voicje of the people ' is unani mous throughout the Union, from Massachusetts to California, the lesson is so plain that ho who runs may read. It teaches i a unmistakable language that the people hare determined .to put a stop to corruption, extravagance, jthe tyranny of corporations, the inequality ef taxation, the oppressions of a pro tective tariff, and to reduce the army of useless federal .officials, whose prin cipal duty is to carry the elections in favor of the party in power. It teach es that the free people of this TJnlion have resolved that the government shall be restored to it3 original purity of ad ministration, that fidelity and economy shall be the rule, and that civil service reform shall be a fact and not a thedrv. 1 It is folly to suppose that this revolu tion is directed solely against the Grant-Arthur wing of the Republican party. The same evils existed tinker Hayes' administration, and would have listed under Garfield's, had it not! so soon terminated. Hor seventeen yeara tiie voters of the Northern States have patiently submit ted to these evils, induced thereto part ly by promises of refoim under each successive administration, but princi pally because they could not make op their minds to desert the party that had preserved the Unioh. The burden . has at last becomeoo great to bear and the people have turned to the Demo cratic party for relit f, and so long as that party is true to its principles and professions, so long will it remain in power; whenever it becomes recreant to its great trust it will be ignominiously beaten, as it deserves to be. Th3 Kezt. Speaker. ' As the Democrats will have the or ganization of the next House of Rep resentatives, the most important ques tion now pending is who will be the next S;eaker. This position i.? second only to that of President of the United States, as by Lis appointment of com mittees he can almost entirely control the- legislation of Congre3. It is not a little significant that tho. whole Re publican press are unanimous in pre dicting the election -of Randall, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Randall has been & long time in Congress and has been iwice elected Speaker, although he held opinions on the'question of protection atvariance with the National Demo cratic platform. The sentiment of the people of the whole Uuion, as expressed at the last election, is so decided! v against tk doctrine of protection that Mr. Randall, who is undoubtedly a candidate for Speaker, has allowed him self, to be interviewed. In this state ment of his position Mr. Randall is made to say that ho is in favor of the entire repeal of the internal ro venue laws, and that ho is now in favor of a tariff for revenue crly. This eleventh hour repentance of Mr. Randall will fiat convince the Democratic majority of bis sincerity, or cause them to forget that to him, in a great measure, was due the passage of the resolution that robbed Tilden of tho Presidency. The next Congress will be composed largely f new men, thoroughly de votedto Democratic principles and Democratic methods, who will see that Congress is bo organized that they will be carried out. The Speaker will not come from Pennsylvania, notwith standing her glorious victory over the clan Cameron, but will be selected from the West, and it is most probable that the choice 'will fall npon Carlisle, of Kentucky, a clear headed, conscientious Democrat. From our report last week our read ers will learn that the Democrats have " carried the whole United States, by a large popular majority. We will wait until our next issue to give the final result, as by that time the vote will be definitely ascertained. In addition to par former report we may state that Washington and Idaho territories have gone Republican, and Montana Demo- p ratio. - Subscribe for the Ixpipeitpekt. THE MORTGAGE TAX LAW. The Legislature, during the" last ses sion, succeeded in passing an amend meut to tho aESissment laws, which is about the only law of any benefit to the entire State which they enacted during the session. Its provisions are, in substance, to the effect that all con tracts, whether of mortgage, trust deed, bond or other instrument by which a debt is secured by real estate, for tin purposes of taxation shall be deemed an interest in the land to the extent of the indebtedness, and subject to taxa thn in the county where the land is situated and made a lien against the land for the payment of the tax. Nothing can be more just than its prov'sions. The law heretofore pro vided Jiat the debtor should deduct his indebtedness from his assessment, and instead of the county losing the tax as heretofore and the citv of Port land gettiug the benefit, or the State losing it altogether, as in many in- j stances, it makes the entire rel prop erty of the State bear its just propor tion of taxation in tho countv where the land is situated. The Portland papers have all been finding fault with its provisions. The Oregonian gives vent to the following: "The granger passed a . law to catch the foreign money lender. The princi pal man ha was after was Mr. William Reid, who represents cash from Dun dee. Now tho granger will chew the cud of bitter reflection when he finds that the law doesn't touch the man of Dundee, but "cinches" all our home capitalists and bothers the borrowers to boot" It will be seen at a glance that the man of Dundee, who lives in Portland and has his capital invested in every county of the State, whether he has heretofore evaded taxation by having the note and mortgage payable at Dun dee, Scotland, wil, under this law, have to share in supporting the gov ernment equally with other persons whose property receives the protection of our laws, as it makes the interest which he owns in the real property for the security of his claim, subject to taxation. Nothing can be more just than that all property used and operated in a State should receive equal protection from and share in the burdens of sup porting the government. Whn for eign capitalists choose to invest their surplus in our country, it should be on an equality with others. Knowing Mr. Reid to be an intelligent gentle man, we cannot believe he is the one to object. True, he is t!i representa tive of a large amount- of capital, which ever true to itself, tries to draw the largest interest for tho amount invest e.1. But we must conclude that the trouble with the Oregonian and other papers of Portland, which have been finding fault with the law, is in cor se quence of Portland failing to fet the large revenue which it has been rob bing the interior countias of for so many years in consequence of the exemption of indebtedness, and the capitalists who had loaned tho money residing in that city. The great burden of supporting the government rests upon the real estate and no good reason exists why it should not all bear an equal rate, wherever situated. The fatal wounding of James E. AnderRon in an affray at Eureka, Ne vada, closes a career peculiarly notable for its political depravity. "Jim" An derson was the man ho figured so prominently r.i the investigation of the Louisiana frauds. He told a good deal of truth about the rascality of the Re publican theft of the vote of that State and others, whereby Hayes was put in the Presidential office. He subsequent ly drifted to Nevada, and, though he consistently denounced Hayes as a hypocrite and impostor and admitted that the electoral vote of Louisiana had been stolen, he remained a member of the Republican party, aud. has been publishing and editing the Republican organ at Eureka. Andersen was re ported to be a genial, bright and pleas ant fellow enough. He once pleaded wuii uis party ior appointment to "a consulship in a warm climate." It was refused. He will not need it now, popr fellow. S. F. Examiner. While the next House of Repre sentatives will be Democratic by at least fifty majority, the Senate will be Republican by a small majority. The reason of this is that in every State where the Republicans have had the opportunity, they have so gerrymand ered the districts that the voice of the people is not heard in the Legislature, and nothing but a revolution such as took place in New York can pesubly secure the election of a Senator. Con necticut is a fair example. At the last election the Democrats elected the Governor and three of the four Con gressmen, and yet the Legislature' is Republican. This state ,of affairs, however, cannot last long. Page has been defeated in the second district of California, by 750 majority. THE HEW TRESPASS LAW. Sec. 1.

Printed or written notices having attached thereto, by authority, the name of the person in the lawful occupation of said lauds, and icquiring all persons to forbear trespassing on said lands and to depart therefrom, posted in three 'conspicuous places on said lands, shall be held and deemed to be sulficient notice, as mentioned- in section 1 of tins act. Sec. 3. Justice's courts shall have jurisdiction over all offenses defined in this act. Sec. 4. All fines collected under the provisions of this act, shall be paid into and shall constitute a part of the com mon school fund of the county in which the offense is committed. Sec. 5. Inasmuch as the present law is inadequate to the punishment of tresspasser!), this law shall take effect and be in force from and after its ap proval by the Governor. Approved October 24th, 1882. The 1'nture ot Douglas County. From the present outlook, Douglas county has the most promising future of any county in the State. With an extensive area, blessed with an equable climate, with neither the droughts of California nor the excessive rains of Willamette valley, a rich" soil capable of producing all the cereals and all kinds of fruit in abundance, a large stock range peculiarly adapted to the raising of horses, cattle and sheep, it only needs the population requisite to develop its resources to become a State of itself. The Oregon and California railroad is already extended some forty miles south cf Roseburg, the county s:at, and during the next year will eon" nect us with Jackson county; another year in addition will give us a through line to San Francisco, and bring us the much needed immigration. This, by no means, includes all our future pros pects of prosperity. The railroad from Coos bay to Roseburg is now assured, and it is safe to predict its completion before a through connection is made with California, overland. When this is completed, all the transportation of Lane, Douglas and Jackson counties will pass to aud from the ocean by this route. Our grain can then be put on sea going vessels for Europe for nearly half the price that it can now be ship ped to Portland, and our merchandise brought from San Francisco at a still greater margin. A few years more and this line will be continued to the eastern boundary of the State and make the connection with the overland line to the East. When this event happens Southern Oregon will be un in tegral part of the State and not a mere dependoucy of Portland and the Will amette valley. It is .Timored that Bradley, of 8 to 7 infamy, i.s to ho retired from the Su preme bench, to make room for Folger, the great defeated. John C. New, of Indiana, uo . -f assistant is to take Fob gor's place aa Secretary of the Treas ury, and the place of Assistant Secre tary is to be given to George C. Gor ham, of California, of unsavory fame. BUY THE UMPQUA YAL'EY MILLS THE BEST IN THE MARKET. Addt'88 A. W. STEARNS, Canyon vUle HEFFHOH'S SALQOTI. ROSEBURG, OREGON.
