The results of the election in Union
county, taken as a whole, is eminent
ly satisfactory to three fourths of the
population and it would seem at a
cursory review of tho situation that
-the proper thing to do is Ivor all to for
got past diflcranccs, hury our animosi
ties and unite, as much as possible,
in building up homes, inviting
immigration, encouraging worthy
enterprises, fostering trade and com
merce, and building up a prosperous
and united county. If such a state of
affairs could be brought about, with
any promiso of stability, it would bo
worth striving for and its realization
would place Union county second to
no other in tho stale. But there arn
strong obstacles in the way of 6tich a
consultation. While tho election just
past was a mighty stride in the right
direction, it has dovelopcd a pliato of
antagonism, the nature of which bus
not boon justful realized befor.', and if
not met aad dealt with in a sumaiy
manner may prove most disastrous to
the best interests and progress of tho
county. We allude to the gross pros
titution of thoright of franchise and the
opon and shameless fraud perpetrated
at tho polls, in several of the precincts
of this count3, bf which La (Jrando
precinct stands ouL prominontly above
all others. What is best to do about
this is a (jueslion of vital importance
to ovory resident of tho county. Not
as to its present effects, for, as wo said
before, tho result is satisfactory to a
great majority of tho people, but in its
effects two years honcc, and at all fu
turo elections. Will not the porputra
of these frauds, emboldened by public
forbearance and their immunity from
arrest and ntmishmonl continue, Ihoir
machinations to such an extent as to
rondor an flection in this county no
thing but a farce and cause honost men,
put of sheer disgust, to stay away from
tho polls giving over the government
of tho county to a gang of harpies I
whoso proper place is insido of prison
walls? It looks very much that way
to us, and whilo it is a comnicndablo
spirit to condone faults and forgivo in
juries it certainly is not a connnonda
blo or boneficial policy to wink at crime.
Wo understand, in all probability, tho
legality of tho election in several ptc
cinciB wU bo called into question in tho
courts and ''oontusted." Wo have not
inlcrnstgij ourcolf BtidicionUy to find
Out who the prim6 iriov'urs" are, tuul
caro but little. Tho contest will bo of
moro interest to tho candidates. whoo
chances of election hang on tho result,
than to us, and whilo wo will bo pleased
to soo those precincts, whom illegal
voting was practiced, thrown out and
not counted, wo will bo more pleased to
8C0 tho men who caused and abetted
this illegal voting placed under arrest,
tried, convicted, and punished. Tho
root of tho evil would bo dostroyed by
tho latter coursaand tho people would
bo bonelltted. If a horso is stolen it is
woll enough for tho owner of tho stolon
horse and the man who bought tho
liorso from tho thief to contest for
tho ownership of tho animal, but
tho peoplo at largo aro only inter
ested in tho conviction and punish
ment of tho thief. If ho is allowed to
escape and go unpunished other men
will Buffer from his future depreda
tions, but if convicted and placed wliore
ho can do no further harm, society at
largo is benolltted. Tho saino points
aro at issue in this ease and tho same
principles involved. Because but lit
tlo or no damage has resulted from tho
machinations of these men does not
make their actions less criminal and is
no reason why their orimos should bo
overlooked. Tho argument advanced
by some that two years will make a
vast dilforoueo in tho condition of ex
isting things, that tho "dagos" and rail
road builders will not bo in the county,
and La (irande will bo so depopulated
that its inlluonco in elections of any
kind will bo but little felt, should have
no weight. A criminal is a criminal,
and tho well Voing of tho peoplo at
largo calls for his speedy apprehension
and just punishment. Only by prompt
action in suclynattorrt can respect for
tho law bo maintained and tho peoplo
bo protected from tho machinations of
tho lawless.
WoNiiKit if Dixvo Thompson thinks
now that overy man has his price. If
ho has any doubts on tho uuhjoot wo
refer him to tho La (Jrando wiro-pull-cm
for further information. Thoy
may bo ablo to glvo him a fow point'
ore, but tho pointora will not contain
much consolation for either of them.

Tho stranger who arrives in this or
any other city, where tho matter of se
lecting a home for himself and family
is reduced toasortof "flobson's choice,"
very often allows Ibis ono obstacle to
ovcihahvnee whatever favorablo opin
ions he may have formal of the country
and tries his fortunes ehewhorc. Wo
have heif in Union a number of citi
zens who have accumulated plenty of
capital to invest a portion, at least,
of it in the construction of small resi
dences. Cottages ranging in cost from
iffiOO to $1000, would pay at loast 20
percent, on tho investment in rent, and
at the same time the inevitable rise m
tho value of pi operty just now would
add greatly to the profit on the invest
ment. Houses to lent are scarce, and
that too at a timo when Union ahould
be well prepared to meet tho demand
which is not unlikely will be made for
homes during the nextnix months. It
may be. indicative of a city's growth to
have the news go abroad that there is
not a vacant house in it, but where the
means are at hand to avert such a mis
fortune, and particularly where fail
warning of an inllux of homefoekcra
has been givon, as in our case, it dees
not speak well for tho enterprise of our
citizens that such a state of affairs
should have been allowed to exist.

liaising revenue by tariff is a swin
dle because it taxes people according
to their wants instead of their ability
to pay. Food and clothing and other
necessaries of life aio needed as. much
by the laborer as the millionaire. The
broad acres and city lots of tho land
monopolist and the money and secu
rities of lite millionaires pay no taxes
to the government.
The policy of collecting taxes undor
the pictonto that. they, aro paying for
goods it fraudulent, because it leads
people to think they aro buying goods
when they aro partly buying goods
and partly paying taxes. In this way
people are deluded into paying vast
suni? p money to the government that
it knows (, what to do with, unless
by planning uotV systems of extrava
gant expenditure, biJt the piotociion
policy which taxed the materials nec
cessary to build iron thips, has almost
ruined American building and swept
American veshcls from foioigu com
merce as effectually as it could have
been dono by tho war tleots of a victo
rious enemy.
Sknatou Muvhhi.Ti has offered sev
eral amendments to the river and har
bor bill now under consideration in
tho Senate coiumitteo on conimorce,
among thoin to provide that ijtf.OOO of
tho appropriation for Upper Columbia
aud SnAivo rivers shall bo ox-ponded
hotwoon Huntington and the Seven
Dovils mining district, .lust what uso
that portion of Snake river, or a steam
boat thereon, will bo when Hunt's
road is ox tended from Union through
tho Seven Dovils country to Salt Lake
City, is a question. Within two years
from now tho region sought to bo de
veloped by this appropriation for tho
improvement of Snake river, will bo
traversed by a trans-continental lino
of railroad. Mr. Mitchell is, evidently,
not acquainted with tho situation.
Wj: publish a table this week show
ing tho election returns. It will bo
seen that considerable "scratching"
was indulged in by members of both
parties. Not only was this tho case in
Union county; but it was tho same all
over thostato. It presents a hopeful
outlook and shows that indeiiondent
voters are Iwcominjj more numerous
every day. It shows that men are be
ginning to rely moro on their own
judgment in political matters, aro east
ing aside old prejudices, looking moro
to their own interests and placing the
good of their country above party de
mands. Wo aro moro pleased to note
this inclination on the nvl of the peo
plo than to chronicle tho election or
defeat of any man.
J, H. Si.athu's proposition to tear
down all other towns for tho purpose
of paying tribute to his own burg evi
dently did not make much impression
on tho people. It now remains to be
seen whether ho will prosecute the
ballot box stullom and repeater of his
own town or wink at tho fraud on the
honest lax-payers. The weather cock
points to their prosecution and con
viction. Will he stand buck aud loo
his claim to honesty and fair dealing
or will ho got in with the houeat legal
voters and asaUt them in punishing
suoh outrages?

Thk Gazette compares tho "vote"
La Grando cast at the recent election
with the vote east by Baker City and
figures it out that La Grande is about
tho size of Baker City, Tho Dalles or
Pendleton. When those not acquaint
ed with tho facts arc informed that
about 400 illegal votes, and many le
gal votes of non-residents, were cast at
La Grande, they will begin to faintly
realizo the immensity of the Gazette
man's gall. If one dago represents a
population of six, how much of a pop
ulation will it take to furnish four
hundred dugo voters? If the Gazette
can't solvo tho problem, it might hand
it to Slater, the ward politician, who is
mighty handy with iigurcs, as we all
know.
