THE WHliKLY OREGON SCOUT. UNION. OREGON, HAT., 1'HIJ. in. imt Our Ponition. The political waters of Union coun ty, nlbcit, not ns transparent ns mijjht bo, nre becoming soinewlint troubled in view of the approaching tempest, and wo have been repeated ly asked as to tho precise location in llio maolstroin tho Scout would be found, and its course of action. We think our readers are RulHoiontly in formed in regard to this, hut ns numerous subscribers arc fotiRtnntly being ntldod to our list, a reiteration of sontinvnts expressed by us in the pnst, may not bo amiss at this time. Tho Scout is an independent expo nent of tho principles it believes best calculated to advance the interests of the people nt, large. WhiH we have very decided opinions on tho various questions of the day, and shall not hesitate to express them when occa sion demands, we also lospcct the honest opinions of others, and have no desire to cut their throats, simply because they differ from us. We would much rather conciliate them with rcaonablc arguments than try to annihilate them with abuse. It is not our purpose to take sides in po litical or secular controversies, fur tljpr than to expose rottcness and dishonesty, and aid In advancing the best and most competent men to positions of public trust and honor and this wo shall do according to the best light wo liavo, uninfluenced by Kny clique, corporation, or party. It is to us n pleasure, as well as privilego to advance such ideas as we conceive to bo benclleiiU to our fellow- men, and this we shall endeavor to do in a temperate and reasonable manner, Tho people of Union county have recently witnosxed specimens of 'political journalism' which to say the least, has been nauseating in the extreme. Rancorous and bitter feel ings have been engendered needlessly, and seemingly with no other object than tho gratification of enmity causod by events long past, and issues which aro dead, and that should be forgotten, Wo believe it is the sincere wieli of ninety nine men out of every hundred, to forget every unpleasant event of the past, to make the most of the present, und to build as well and wisely as they can. for the bcuctlt of themselves and poster ity. Thero arc many things that arc radically wronir, and many 'evils to be corrected, yct wo believe that everything is tending in the right direction, and that mankind is being emancipated from soino form of men tal, moral or pollticul bondage, to a better condition, every day. We would like to iuiprciH on the minds of tho farmer, mechanic, mlucr and 'laborer, that it rests with thorn whether this onward movement is to be slow or fast. They aro tho wen that can and should rule tho country, instead of demagogues and pro. fcsslonal political tricksters. Differ ences of opinion between men is natural, and that wo should have opposing political organizations, is n mutter of course, but that none but honest, trustworthy and capable men should Do placed in authority, is a proposition we do not think there should bo two opinions about We are in hopos that every voter in Union county will register and ho prepared to untit his vut next .Itlnei Wo arc in hopes that at the coining precinct primaries every lartner will be there, to think and act as his own good sense Will dictate, and not bo hoodwinked by any jobs put up( or taffy sent out from 41 Head quarters" boo to It that tho best men art) nominated for ofllcot und' then in tho event of the tdefeat of cither party wo need have no fears but that oilr affairs will be conducted properly,. Wo have no light to make ou good men of either party., but will endeavor to tho best jgf our ability to assist in relugating tools, tricksters and incompetent blatherskites to tho background. We invariably have for our motto, in dealing M'Ub tills elus.j the old Latin quotation: MSoc et ttlum) y Dam niim eiu chum 1 The La Grande Argm, last week, contained an editorial concerning that little episode at the depot, which is amusing to nay the least. Wo would liko to givo our readers the article entire, as a curiosity, hut have not space. We quote n few gems which will servo to show tho peculiar stvlc Imbecility of ollicials." 'l'ruisers and blackguard attempts of intiinida lion." "The Scout seems to be the mouth piece, just now, of tho official class, and champion of the outlaw." "The attempt of assassination at the depot last week." "The black gau rd elnmont must be eliminated, or the necessity of JucIko Lvnch's court will be a matter of fact." "It is a reproach to civilization." "Do citi zens desire the facts published in their directory for the outside world to read?" "Tho Argus is read by many in the unst." Its editor is required to resort to an arsenal for self-protection." "Wo may go down at tho hands of Ku Kluxism, yet other? stand ready to take up whero wo leave off. ' ' Wo ask the good people of Union county what they think of that? If the Argus is "read by many In the East," isn't the above a nice advertisement for Union county? Of course great mnn lire liable to bo "assassinated" at Garfield went that way, and Finn may be the next victim, but lie should wait till after the "assassination," and let those "who stand ready to tako up whero ho leaves off" write NEW TO-J1AY.
