ROSEBURG REVIEW
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 11, 1887,
CA8ARALTA2fS LETTER.
Dear Review: I've been thinking
about the manner in which laws are
sometimes made in a free and enlight
ened commonwealth like ours, and 1 1
am tempted to express my opinion in !
regard to some of the proposed logisla
tion of our body of law makeis now
assembled at the state capitol Some
men seem to think that no special care
is necessary in tinkering with legisla
tion upon school matters, and therefore,
after giving due and careful considera
tion to bills introduced for the improve
ment of the bleed of horses, cattle and
hogs, they listen carelessly to the
schemes of the school crank, and vote,
heedless of results. Our young
Bta'.e has been blessed with an overdose
of this sort of legislation. We are
therefore, far behind the majority of
states, in the effectiveness of our pub
lie school system. I am led to this
strain of melancholy reflection, bv read
ing of the bill now before the legista
ture, to disfranchise tax-paying women,
aiJ annual school meetinsrs. and to let
down thebars to that thriftless, indif
ferent class of people whose only claim
to the votincr nrivilesre is a sex to which
they are no credit. The man who, dur
ing the past few years has observed the
1011 dimfc of the district school, has
noted the fact that the greatest inter
est in school affairs has been taken by
the intelligent property-holding women
of our state. I venture the assertion,
(firmly believing in its truth) that our
schools owe a large portion of the sue
cces already attained, to the active in
terost and support of the intelligent
mnMiers of the bovb and cirls. The
bill now before the legislature is sub
iect to this grave objection: in almost
pvi.rp district, there is at least one of
- "-j
those pestiferous animals, known as
schemers.- He always has some griev
ance, either against the teacher, or the
directors. Either his hopeful son has
been shamefully and unjustly (?) pun
ished "for jest nothin' at all," or else
the directors have in his ponderous
oninion. been unwise in the selection
of teachers, and prodigal in the expen
diture of nublic funds. These are the
feeble threads upon which ha
bancs
his murmuring against the idea
progressive school work. He is rarely
sincere, but 13 active and blatant, by
reason of a chronic, yea, constitutional
mania, for plotting and breeding strife
in a comrauuity. He is dangerous.
simply in proportion to the number o
ignorant, thriftless, uninterested and
revolutionary individuals that he can
gather about him, to aid him in his as
sault upon the well-being, of his wiser
' neighbors. Remove the property qua
ificatinn, under such conditions, and
consider the result: I could name
. considerable number of school districts.
even iu Douglas county that woul
take ar unhappy retrograde movement
as an immediate result. I live in hope
that a majority of our representatives
will see the evils of such action, and
consign the bill to a happy oblivion
NORMAL SCHOOLS.
While in the humor, I want to growl !
at another bill, which as I learn from
the newspapers, is now pending before
tho legislature. I refer to the one
which provides for dividing the state
into three Normal school districts, and
endowing in each a school ef that sort,
at state expenses. If this were all, it
would be bad enough, but it goes far
ther, and proposes to repeal the act
creating the state Normal school at
Drain,' in Douglas county. Now,
while I am not at war with other por
tions of our fair state, it does strike me,
as a species of outrage, that the selfish
aims of local ambition should dovelop
such petty meanness. The school at
Drain was equipped by its patrons, for
doing good honest work, in preparing
young men and women for honest work
in the school rooms of southern Oregon.
It asked the state for no financial aid.
Ifc has never knocked at the door of
the state's treasury in ihe garb of a
mendicant, asking alms. Yet, as soon
na the state issued it3 commission, it
sprang, full armed, into the field, and
at the close of the first year turned
out a graduate, whose subsequent suc
cess, generous wages, and constant ea
ployment, are a sufficient (guaranty of
the character of the work done. The
Ashland school, with years of opportu
nity, and not a single graduate, wants
four thousand dollars, while Drain,
with a splendid record, asks to be
let alone. If our solons would legis
lates larger portion of the general
taxes into the school funds, and exert
themselves less in, behalf of local appro
priations, for unnecessary causes, they
would earn a lasting and well deserved
gratitude fom a patient people.
And now, Bro, Bell, having had my
growl, my blood subsides, the chill
night air, wafted over the white fields
of snow that surround too, reminds me
that vhe hour for slumber is at hand,
and sol bid you gojf'night.

OCR SAVAL HEROES.
Ce.sjamix H. Pobteb,.
(Special Correspondent Kosebibo Review.)
Among the names of the nations Ur
ustrious dead, inscribed upon the ban
ner of fame, we find- that of Benjamin
L Poi ter, tho young hero of Roanoke.
At the age of seventeen he- wore the
epaulets of an Ensign, and received for
his gallant deeds the applause and ad
miration of all. Commodore Marston,
of the Roanoke, was the first to com
pliment our young hero upon his no
ble daring during the action. The com-
liment was in tho form of a letter, and
bore the signatures of every officer xf
the ship, Soon after he was appointed
Acting Master, and took command of
tho gun-boat Ellis. It would 'be ex
ceedingly difficult, to find another in
a . . " i
simce u pon record, so rcmar&a Die as
this. Here we find a task difficult for
even a more mature brain and stronger
rame, imposed upon one so young.
In Nov. 1862 he was ordered to re
;iort to Admiral Du Pont at Port Roy
al, here he was detained for some time
upon the blockade ship Caciaguida. In
July 1863 he was selected to explore-
Charlcston harbor. That one so imma
ture in years should be selected for a
duty so perilous, and requiring the en
ergies of dating and judgment, is the
grandest compliment that could be paid
to his reputation. It is said that du
ring this fearful and hazardous time he
lost one pound of flesli daily. Of his
exploits while in performance of this
duty we will only say, that they are de
serving of more than mere mention,
and that surely the all sustaining arms
of a merciful Providence were above,
beneath and around mm as lie accom
plished feat after feat, of astonishing
bravery. But at last we find him
with a companion, Lieut. Williams,
languishing in a felons cell at Columbia
S. C. where for fourteen months they
endured prison woes. They were or
dered in irons by the Confederate gov
ernment and not until March 1864,
were they stricken from them, with
the news that thay were to be ex
changed. After his release he returned
home, but not the bouyant happy youth
of a few juonths before. Lines of care
were depicted upon his handsome face,
and his whole appearane was that of
man advanced in years. At twenty-
one he received the title and rank of
Lieutenant.
The first battle of Fort Fisher he
passed successfully nd we quote her
a passage from a letter written by him
to a young christian friend just before
tho second battle. "1 can not feel that
1 am a Christian, although I know that
Christ died to save me. But if God
will keep me I will try and become
one. I know that I can succeed if
try, for our Heavenly Father has prom
ised to listen to all who ask Him with
their whole hearts. And naw i beg
of you to pray for me, ask God to- give
me a now heart, and to teach me to
pray. I am going ashore to lexi my
men to the charge on Fort Fisher, and
if God will bring me out of the fight in
safety, I will try and obtain sten days
furlough, and then my friend I will see
you". What a noble vein of character
this letter shows! Although in the eyes
of his f riend3 he was an humble, con
sistent, Christian; yet he could not be
impressed with that belief, and was
ever seeking to perpetuate holiness in
heart and mind. As Lieut. Porter left
the ship bearing the flag he said to Ad
miral Porter, "Admiral this shall be
the first flag on the fort", he was in full
uniform which it was his pride to wear.
When the signal was given to charge,
he sprang to the front, flag in Land, at
the palisades he fell, shot through the
breast, his lasj words were, "carry me
down to the beach." His friend Lieut
Cushing fell almost at the same time.
Captain Breese in hiseiter to the Ad
miral says, "He fell among the fore
most at the front as he had lived the
embodiment of a United States Naval
officer." Of Lieut. Poiter he says
"conspicuous by his figure and uniform
as well as galantry he claimed the right
to lead the headmost column with the
Malvern men. Two more noble spirits
the world never saw. Young, talented,
and handsome, bravest of the brave.''
Admiral Porter says of Lieut. Porter,
"He was brave to a fault, he was my
beau ideal of an officer." His body
was forwarded in a metallic case, to his
friends in New York. . Commodore
Paulding desired a public funeral and
General Burnside expressed a wish that
the land troops might join in the pro
cession, but the grief of his friends was
so great, they would not permit public
display, and he was quietly interred by
the side of his brother and sister, at
the place of his birth. Thus closes the
caieer of one of the nations greatest
heroes, whose name should be handed
down to posterity and revered as that
of, ays, even that of the immortal Wash
ingtbn. But twenty-one years of age,
yet had distinguished himself as but few
ever have done, or can do. Should he
not be immortalized? Is he not deserv
ing? If not who isf "Brave to a fault"
and while wc have, only the mem'ry of
grand deeds done, his name shall live

PROFLIGACY AXt ITS PARENTAGE
Unfortunately the whole conscquen-.
ces of the swamp land act and its ill
advised interpretations have not been
confined to seizure of the lauds them
selves. A further consequence has been
the birth of jobs through which the
money paid in on account of the land
has been utterly wasted. Over and
above the bums actually paid out on
account of wagon roads that never were
constructed, there remains a large
amount of outstanding warrants drawn
on the swamp hind fund. Gov. Pen-
noyer gives in his special message on
the subject a statement of these war-
ants and their amount, principal and
interest the whole amounting to 94,
65.94. Nearly one half of this whole
amount is on account of The Dalles and
Sandy wwgon road, so-called. This was
a job without a redeeming feature. No
road exists theve, and the object of the
appropriation was not to make a road
but to get tho money. And thft job is
rendered worse still bv the fact that
the interest which the state, now must
pay, considerably exceeds the principal
Profligate administration of the swamp
land business has led to further
profligacy in expenditure of the pro
ceedsof the lands, so that not only has
tho money been squandered as it came
in, but its coming in has been auticipa
ted by appropriation? upon various jobs
and warrants have been drawn therefor,
upon which the interest now to !epaid
equals or exceeds the principal. Such
gement is disgraceful. It is, how-
ever, only tuc natural sequel to tne
swamp laud act and its ill-advised inf
terpretation. After the act of 1878
the Thayer ad niulstration did a wrong
thing, and tho Moody administration
followed the bad precedent. At length
we have an administration that is unan
imously and solidly right on this ques
tion. The whole profligate and dirty
businsss ought now lobe cleaned up
once for all. For years The Oregonian
has been sounding a lonely note on this
subject, and now it is glad at last to find
in power an administration that wil
make the thing felt which it has tried
so long, to make

A WORD FOR CRANKS.
Cranks, my son? The world is f ul
of them. What would we do were
not for tho cranks How slowly the
tired old world would move, did not
the cranks keep it rushing along! Col
umbii3 was a crank ou the subject of
American discovery and circuuinaviga
tion, and at last he met the fate of most
cranks, was thrown into prison, an
died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly
venerated now! Oh, yes, lclemachus,
we usually esteem a crank most pro
foundly after we starve him to death
Harvey was a crank on the subject of
the circulation of the blood; Galileo
was an astronomical crank; Fulton was
a crank on. the subject of steam naviga
tion. Morse was a telegraph, crank; al
the old abolitioninists wero cranks;
John Bunyan was a crank: any man
who doesn't think as vou do, my son
is acrank.
And by and by the crank vou de
spise will have his name in every man
mouth, and half-completed monumcn
to Ins memory crumbling down m
dozen cities, while nobody outside
your native village will know that you
ever lived. Deal gently with the
crank, my boy. Of course some cranks
are crankier than others, but do you be
very slow to sneer at a man because he
knows only one thing and you can't
understand him. A crank, says Telema
ehus, is a thing that turns something, it
makes tho wheel s go round, it insures
progress. True, it turns the same
wheel all the time, and it can't do any
thing else, but that's what keeps the
ship going ahead.
The thing that goes in for variety,
versatility, that changes its position a
hundred times a day, that is no crank;
that is the weather-vane, my son.
What? You nevertheless thank Heaven
you are not a crank? Don't do that
my son. Maybe yon couldn t be a
crank if yon would. Heaven ia not
very particular when it wants a
weathervane; almost any man will do
for that. But when it wants a crank,
my boy, it looks about verv carefully,
for tho best man in tho community.
Before you thank Heaven that you are j
not a crank, examine yourself carcfullv, j
and see what is the deficency that de
bars you from such an election. Bob
Burdctte in Burlington Hawkeye.
How true the above is, that when a
man thinks a little out of the ordinary i
rut he is called a crank. How handy
the word is. It is no argumeut to say
that a man is a "crank." J udge
Deadr used that wonderful j.rgument
about Gov. Pcnnoyer. But tl)0 "crank"
i3 turning the people's minds, and
Deady is destined. Cranks are not al
ways the fools of the earth.
It haa just, been developed that
Frank B. May, son of Sam May, who
a short time ago appropriated a large
amount of the funds of his employers,
Johnson fc Co. of San Francisco,' has
also been a defaulter in another field.
Suit was recently brought in the supe
rior coiut bv the Endowment bank of
the Knights of Pythias of San Francis
co, to recover 82000 from the bonds
man of May. The complaint alleges
that May, who was secretary of the
order up to some months a'go, appro
priated the sum of $11 50. May's for
mer employer was unfortunately his
bondsman, and will undoubtedly make
the amount good. Ex. "

An appropriation to pay W. A.
McPherson $3,000 fcr moneys lost by
him while state printer, by reason of
the Legislature of 1868 failing to make

in the deficiency bill and allowed.

and McPherson's claim is evidently
one of them.

Din is very remarkable and a very dan

hundreds of claims of the same charac
ter; for every man who received a state
warrant during the ensuing two years
has the same or better claim to relief.

printing done at an enormous profit

Senator Siglin's frankncKs has got
him into. trouble. The proceedings of
the investigation committee or the
Siglin-WagtT matter were kept as
quiet as possible, but a part bf the
doings of the committee have leaked
out. It transpires that ther were
only two witnesses on - the stand C
S. Jackson, associate editor-' jof the
East Oregonian, and Senator Siglin him
self. In answer to questions by! Mil
ler, of Josephine, he stated with frank-
nees wuy he . voted tor ;: the Vj mg s

hoping to reap some benefit for him
self, in being favored when the jstand

Miller was through questioning Siglin,
he turned to Wager and asketj him:
"Have you any questions to ask the
witness?" j
"Only one,1
"and that is
' responded the senator,
this." Then turning to
Siglin, he said, '.'I understand you to
say, then, that when you vctjod for
Carson you did so, not for ihe interest
of the public, whose servant you are,
not for the interest of your country,
but solely with" a; view to your own

Miller jumped to his f fit and excitedly
protested ag'iiust tho witness being

stenographer had recorded the words,
and now the question is a matter of

was, no one knows nor cares, because

Thrrc is a clear case for a vrfto in
the drag-net pension bill which has
bassed the House and tlio Senate and
now goes to the President. It pro
vides that all persons who served three
months or more in tho military or na
val service of the United Elate in
any war, shall bo pensioned at the
late of 12 per month if they arc un
able to earn a sttiKrt because of phy
sical or mental disability. "Anything
to spend the surplus" appears to be the
motto of the llvpuhlicans of both
branches of L'ongress. This measure,
which was rushed through the Senate
without a roll call, virtually creates
an annex to the Pension lJureaub
cuuso it offers gratuities to "disabled"
ex-soIJier-i, without n-gurd to any con
nection between their service in the
army and their present disability.
The bill would take unknown mil
lions out of tho Treasury if it become
a law, for it also provides at the
rate of 12 per month for the depen
dent relatives of soldiers who are not
able to provide for them. This would
be converting the Federal Govern
ment into an institution for dispensing
'outdoor relief" and encouraging
shiftless! Among a class that mi.'ht
otherwise be self-supporting.
