A BIG FRAUD.
THE LEBANON WAGON ROAD INVE8

atrtirti.it, Yet the Company Claims the Land.
Albany, Or., Sept. 28. The govern
ment commissioners sent out to inves
tigate the reported fraudulent obtaining
of lands by the W. V. & C. M., or Leb
anon wngon roml conipanj, were in
the city to-day en route to Portland,
having" completed a tour ef investiga
tion over the road. Th owmiasion,
consisting of (Jen. Wharton and Com
missioner McNamee, is aceonipanied
by Elisha Barne3 and J. C. Lucky, of
Prineville, who are interested in the
lands in questson. The commissioners
have obtained 1000 page3 of legal cap
paper, full of evidence taken at differ
ent poins along the route. They will
meet in this city Friday to tak depo
sitions. Mr. Barnes, who has acconi
. pained the commissioner over the en
trie route, says they have found that
for a distance of 250 miles not a trace
of road was constructed, yet the com
pany claim three sections per mile,
lie believes it to be the most collossal
land-grabbing fraud ever perpetrated in
tlie state, and one which if notcorrocted
will work a great injury to settlers in
Linn and Crook counties. The find
ings of the commission will be awaited
with inteiPit.-Sat?suian.
The above shows beyond question
one of the many evidences of Cleve
land's administration to utu-atth - the
swindles and expose them, and punish
them, without reference t party al
legiance. These swindlers are Demo
c rats and Republicans, and Cleveland's
motto is "let no guilty man escape.
Bko. Benjamin propounds a reason
able question to us alxmt "what i;eod
the Railroad Conimissirsi has dojn the
farmers of Oregon." W answer" by
say ing the O. R. &. N. Ce. has re
duced their rafcts m wheat this year
from that of last year as a ioiosition
of compromise to the Railroad Commis
sioners of Oregon, which oveiture the
Commissioner did not accept, but still
insists on a S 100 rate instea'd of a
.kOO rate the present tinfl. If as
much wheat will be meved front east
ern Oregon to Portland this year as
last, then the farmers on wheat alone
can save . 157,000, this year in freight
on the O. R. k N. Company, line.
About 10 per cent more wheat will be
raised this year east of the mountain
than last year, therefore orer 200,000
in freights will reward the producer
this year. Read the letter of Mr. Wm.
Hoag in The Review this week under
head of railroad matters, and you will
see a wonderful reduction on that line,
and there" was less complaint of over
charge against this line than any in
Oregon, except the Coos Bay and Co
quille City railroad. By carefully
reading the State papers our eotempo-
rary will see all . the doings of the
Board. All the efficient points of the
1 railroad laws are complied with by the
railroads at once, and about the doubt
ful points they hesitate. Conclusion,
a stronger law is necdetL

his. ability, this is lSroiier: bat if be
cause he is frcncral (J rant's son,

it is a manifestation of toadyism that
is to be emphatically disapproved.
Ability not ancestry should be re
warded. Kx- !ov. Pokteh, of Tennessee, who
has just resigned the 'assistant secreta
ryship of state, says Mr. Cleveland
will, of course, be renominated, and is
of the opinion that he cannot le beat

in his grammar, but in rugged honesty

The Albany Democrat is "making

The more the Democratic jai ty dem

to shut up factories, but to make them

A TJtlEIi EXPE1WHEXT.
A great living statesman says a
good government is that which makes
it easy for men to do right and difficult
to do wrong! How perfect in theory!
But when this very man legan experi
menting with it practically, he bought
his experience by making fatal mis
takes. He was too much of an opti
mist to read human nature altogether
truly. Or was it, that unscathed him
self from its da its, he could not appre
ciate the force of Al-Shore! The old
Arabs named it right Al-Shcre "bad
fiend," from which according to some
philologists, we have our word alcohol
Although he said it not until having
lived. aWit seventy years in the world.
Gladstone must have been many years
thinking out his well-known maxim:
That "drink slays more than war, fam
ine and pestilence together." When
he was quite a young man he set him
self the task of tying the hands of this
destroyer. It was certainly by a curi
ous way, first was by giving it at one
fiat, (so to speak) myriad hands. He
fancied men drank, because the drink
was rather hard to get at, it was
hedged round with a good deal of retl
tajte regulation, and consequently did
not appear at every turn. Gladstone
accordingly got the "bccr-aci" passed,
which irave facilities for beerhouses,
(or pot houses as they arc often called)
to crop up, like fetid toadstools,- on
every little village green m every re
tired hauilct, at almost ev ery cross road
where a traveler might like to rest.
There was not a nook where the mon
ster did not'sircUb these myriad hands.
And with what result? England be
came more and more one of the must
drunken nations on the face of the
earth. The "grand old man" of to-day
forgot in the assumption "f his youth
the proverb, "what the eye doth not
see the heart dot li not want.'' It is
the truth i this proveib. The word
not of one man, but of the people
That lies at the root of this amend
ment campaign. It is to put away
the open flaunting tempting saloon that
the esmpaignists are after, It is not
to clear the state of all alcoholic liquids
at one swoop. Commerce is bound to
hold them still to fill doctors' pre
scriptions, for certain mechanical pur
poses and (as many christians believe)
for sacramental uses. It is not to
cure the old toper, who is as much dis
eased, as though he had an incurable
heart complaint. In accordance with
Hehneman theory that"likc cures like,"
he will be bound to have it in order to
effect his cure! It is not for his sake
tuat we beg for amendment votes.
He is tottering on the brink of the
grave anyhow, and the grave will soon
hold him, amendment or no amend
ment It is for our boys, that they
may have t!ie temptation of the open
saloon removed from their paths, before
they learn to go in and out, losing their
precious will-power, sullying all that is
noble and glorious inheir manhood,
and defacing the body, which was
meant for God's temple. There is not
more than one man in a hundred, w ho
will attribute his fall to that mysterious,
inherited craving. The ninety-nine
w ill tell you it was the sociability of
the thing made them take to drmk.
They just weut in with friends to have
a good time, and that was all. The
saloonist knows well how to cater for
this gregarious instinct in young men.
He has his billiaid table, arranges his
card parties, hires the musician, and Ls
good company himself. While he often
ponders lo'a lower instinct, and intro
duces the dunciiig'girl of low character
as a farther attraction in order to gel
his whisky sold and his pockets lined.
Alas for his poor soft dupes, not so
wary as the birds that will not bc
caught by the trap in sight! Their
chains are soon forged for them, that
bind them lody and soul,
until tliev
can neither rise nor fly away,
why are we, with open eyes, to

suffer although, thank God not in
propria persona) to be thus inveigled
and entrapped! And just because a
certain set of men make it their cral
to swindle them out of their manhood
and their money. Surely in this
America where the laws arc made "by
the people and for the people," the peo
ple will not suffer themselves to be
hoodwinked by this liquor craft! Rest
assured it is this liquor-craft th at is
hoodwinking you week after week in
the pages of the Oregonian. Count up

gusteu with the election, lie was going
"to do away with Portland saloons,"
about a year and a half ago. Are you
aware that the following clay on which
the Daily News declared for the amend,
ment, a committee of these brethren of
the liquor-craft, visited every likely
merchant in the city, asking him no
longer to support the News. In fact
to boycott it! The same thing vas
transacted in Astoria, when one of its
papers published the W AJ .T. T.ai tides.
By w hat article of Freedom, t-an this
people suffer itself to le manacled by
the liquor craft! It will seek to han

gifts, soft word and oily palms. But
