OREGON CITY, TlltUSDAV, MAY 17. 1-77.
Our Array and Navy.
The Sun, referring to tlie fact that
the extra session of Congress has to be
called because the means of paring the
army must be provided, says:
Now, the first duty o the representa
tives of the people in this extra session,
is to insist upon reducing the array to
ten thousand men. This number is
sufficient for every regular need or the
country. The public service can be
fully performed by an army of this size,
and not a single soldier above the num
ber of ten thousand should be allowed
by Congress. Next to the duty of re
ducing the military force to ten thou
sand men, the House of Representatives
should insist upon attaching to the bill
a provision that the army shall not be
employed for any political use.
This may have a very musical sound
in New York City, but to frontiersmen
it is a perfect Indian war-whoop. The
selfishness of New Yorkers to everything
that doas not directly interest them is
well known, but when they are willing,
in fact apparently anxious, to see their
brethren who go out into the wilds of
the Indian country cut down and their
farms destroyed, the sentiment becomes
actually villainous. Snrronnded by all
the luxuries of the effeminacy of a big
city, New Ycrk in her safety is willing
to see the settler's defense removed, to
see him and his family butchered by j
the redskins, in order that more money j
may go to the already-too-rich bond
holders. Her contemptible course is
very much like a king who can live
withont drink denying all liquids to his
less fortunate subjects. The "Western
people demand that the army be not cut
down one jot or tittle the country owes
tis protection, and we claim our jnst
rights. "We do not whine for extraor
dinary favors like the rich States of the
East which have grown rich on Govern
ment appropriations and which now
fight every such Itenelit in our direction,
but lift up our voices in the demand for
what our Constitution guarantees us.
All honor is due the Democratic
Honse for the economical cuts they
have made; but there is such a tiling as
economizing to the extent of danger and
starvation, and as in this army repnetion
case, such a stage i now upon us. If
money must be saved for the national
government, there are hundreds of oth
er ways, not sacrificing the lives of peo
ple, by which such a result may be
reached. The men engaged in dishing
up the weather reports, for instance,
should be snt to wood sawing or some
other sensible occupation. It is time
"Old Probabilities" hits the nail on the
head in his weather prognostications al
most invariably, but any observing man
could do as much, and the play does
not pay for the candle especially as
"Prob's" weather prophesies are never
made regarding this benighted region.
The weather reports published in Port
land may b intensely interesting, but
as they only tell the 6tate of the barom
eter for the previous day, a fact that
most of us care very little about and jet
already know, we think such a useless
expense might readily be dispensed with.
The spite which the Democrats feel
against the military establishment of the
Government was not confined to the re
fusal to vote the army appropriation,
but early in the first session of the Forty-fourth
Congress began to manifest,
itself in a determination to put the navy
also on short commons. The desire for
rednction of governmental expenses, not
being restrained by knowledge, has
therefore succeeded in placing the offi
cers and men of the navy in a position
even worse th&n that in which the army
is likely to be found at the close of the
present fiscal year.
The consequence is seen in the issue
-of a circular by the Navy Department,
stating that owing to the insufficiency
of the appropriation for the pay of the
officers and men, the enlisted force can
not be paid for the months of April,
May and June. If the previous rates
of pay for service in the navy had been
sufficiently large to encourage the belief
that officers and men Lad laid np for
tunes in store for a rainy day, the con
dition of affairs would not be so bad;
but the pay is small already, and there
is no doubt that the suspension of wages
for three months will occasion great in
convenience among the officers and their
families, and positive suffering among
the wives and children of sailors and
marines.
But aside from all other considera
tions, the question of paying the men
of the navy at the proper time and to
Ahe fall amount of their wages is one
of simple justice. The nation has en-
gaged these men to fight its battles and
protect its honor on the high seas; has
promised them a sufficient recompense,
and guaranteed that it shall be paid
them at certain times. Through the
cavils of a turbulent majority in the
House, the effort to carry out these
promises has been frustrated, and with
this bad precedent once set it may be
so again at any time.nnless a firm stand
is taken by the Senate and Administra
tion to thwart all such high-handed
measures and make provision for carry
ing on tke various departments of the
Government iu a decent style.
Aside from the question of justice,
however, that of expedience may well
be also taken into consideration
ur
first class power. We do not need a
large navy, but every caviler will eon
fess that we should hava one large
nongh to protect our interests abroad,
nd to furnish an arm of power on which
" "' - -1 rsz : - .
which we can safely rely in case of sud
den emergency. This the present con
dition of our navy will not justify us in
doing. Since, by repeated reductions
and by a systematic course of starving,
we have become possessed of a skeleton,
Alike useless in peace or war. In this
view of the case the navy can be much
damaged by witholding th pay of the
officers and sailors for three months,
since our sea-going establishment is al
ready at its lowest ebb. But those who
look further than the surface see the
disgrace of a rich nation like the United
States compellingthemen whodefendits
floating bulwarks to wait three months
for the pittances of pay they receive,
and deprecate the party feeling tha has
led to such a display of petty animosity.
The Friends of Turkey.
If it were possible to associate any
ideas of humor with the sad spectacle
of two nations deliberately setting to
work at throat-cutting, we might-laugh
at the tardy appearance on the scene of
England and Austria, two weeks after
war has commenced, wanting to know
whether Russia means to annex Turkish
territory. If this were meant for a joke
it would be a tremendous joke, and if it
be meant seriously, it is no less a joke
on the diplomatic owls who ask such a
question at such a time. Russia has
stated that she had not the slightest de
sire of any further territorial aggran
disement, but at the same time everyone
who is acquainted with that profound
and noble science which draws up prot
ocols and regulates the affairs of nations,
knows that every nation reserves to it
self the right to alter its declarations
according to subsequent developments,
and it has been the sad but inevitable
experience of warfare that nations the
most unse'rish have been compelled af
ter they have defeated a neighbor to
aunex some of his territory, not through
any greed of aggrandizement, but mere
ly for the good of the victim.
What would England and Austria
have? Did they not give the consent
of silence to that most base and shame
Jess robbery by which Franco w.is strip
ped of two of her fairest provinces?
Did they not consent to the plunder of
Denmark by Prussia? to the plunder of
Italy by France? Has there ever been
any occasion in the last hundred years,
or in the last thousand, iu which any
European nation has abstaiued from
annexation through a sense of justice,
or interfered to revent the dismember
ment of a friendly nation through any
other motive than personal fear? When
one remembers how relentlessly and
cruelly Austria clung to the ravished
proviuces of Italy for fifty years, wlnen
we remember that it was only under the
compulsion of defeat, and only ten years
ago, that she loosed her touch on "Liea
Kissed Venice," the spectacle of her
ministers protesting against any terri
torial aggrandizement of Russia at the
expense of Turkey is humorous to the
highest degree.
Austria and England have never been
so indignant over the spoliation of an
ally that their scruples could not be
overcome by allowing them a share of
the plunder, and the indignation they
now affect to feel over a purpose which
has simply been the purpose behind
every declaration of war iu Europe in a
hundred years, is probably nothing
more than a pretext for claiming a larg
er share of the spoils. The Turk will
not mend his ways nor gain in strength,
and it is merely a question of a few
years when his rickety empire shall
tumble to pieces. It hardly seems as if
the time had come just yet, but if it has
come we may be 6nre that Austria will
not object to any Russian aggrandize
ment which is expiated by a correspond
ing Austrian aggrandizement, and that
England will b very generous to the
other powers if she will be allowed to
hold Constantinople as she holdd Gib
raltar and Malta.
Wanted A Chance.
Penitentiary Superintendent Burch
may have been right in introducing into
the Constitution a clause which limits
our State indebtedness to 00,000, for
at the time of framing that book our
State was in its swaddling clothes and
not to be entrnsted with great amounts.
Tho Corvalis papers are anxious to see
the Yaquina railroad built, and of course
are in ueed of certain funds with which
to accomplish it. This money must
come from the State in a great measure,
and to get it the "open Sesame" must
be a change in the clause of the Consti
tution above referred to. The Gazette
wishes to know the sentiments of the
press on the questiou. We are in favor
of the change, for if our rapidly grow-
! ing State is to be tied and crippled by
a law which will inevitably obstruct all
enterprise it is better to have no Con
stitution at all or else homes in places
where laws are made to suit the times.
.Can't See "it. 7
The opinion is erroneously entertain
ed in some quarters that the Enrepean
war will cause our railroad securities in
foreign hands to come back and flood
our markets at nominal prices. Why?
The war can hare no other effect npon
our railroads than to improve their
trade with the enhanced business that
was expected, and thns increase instead
of decreasing their value. Should such
oe the fact.

Willamette Freights.
The farmers' meeting which met at
Salem on Friday latt, the 4th inst., was
well attended, ud was represented by
rten from all counties throughout the
valley. The resolutions adopted are i s
follows:
Whereas, Bv the action of J. W.
Coehian & Co.", and the People's Pro
tective Transportation Co., in placing
substantial boats on the river, the ex
tortion of the W. R. T. & L. Co. to that
time was thwarted; and
Whekeas, A set of resclntions and
freight tariff adopted by the directors
of said W. T. & Li. Co. has lately gone
into print, which by implication admits
their robbery of the people previous to
the time the above-named companies
came into competition; therefore be it
Resolved, That this meeting of ship
pers invites all similarly miinded to
unite ith us in sustaining tlie above
named companies as well as the boats of
U. B. Scott & Co., in preference to said
W. T. & Li. Co., in whom by their reso
lution we recognise a well-laid plan to
secure the control of the river and be
guile shippers into their confidence once
more that they may again turn to rend.
Revolted, That we invite the said J.
W. Cochran & Co., the People's Protec
tive Transportation Co. and U. 13. Scott
it Co. to unite on some friendly basis
for the protection of each other against
the common enemy, believing that m
unity there is strength and in the boats
of the above.-1 uraud there is plenty ot
cairyins: ccpaoity to aeommodate the
shipping public as fully and completely
as can the other line.
Resolved, That with this assurance
given, we pledge them a liberal share
of our patronage s(' Ions: as they carry
freight at raes not to exceed the freight
tariff recently published by the W. T.
& Li. Co., and when rates shall exceed
those rates, we favor the building and
owning of boats by the farmers.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the capital stock of the
People's Transportation Co. should be
fully subscribed with a view to raising
capital for the purchase of the boats of
J. W. Cochran & Co.. and U. B. Scott
it Co., or for the building of more boats
to rnu upon t lie plan of the P.P.T. Co.,
as soon as a sufficient amount of capital
can be secured for that purpose, and
that freights shall not be above present
rates.
"Good-Jive John."
We belioie at all times in dealing
justly with the Chinese, we also believe
that it fs the sworn duty of every Ainer
ican citizen in need of service of his
fellow men to give preference to those
who are more like him in customs and
habits. The Chinese have nothing in
common with na. They do not assimi
late with our people in any single re
spect. And there is no use trying to
wink the matter out of sight, it is a fact
that the great mass of the laboring peo
ple of this State look upon them as a
nuisance that must some time and in
some manner be pot rid of. Go upon
our streets, and those who declaim
loudest for law and order do not denv
that these fellows must be driven somt
how from Oregon. W e hear it from
larmers who visit us iiaily. We aiso
heard it from the miners, indirectly
through the Jackson county papers
yet sufficiently straight for our purpose
It is no use to shut our eves to these
things. It is far better to try to mannrre
them in accordance with law. Hire
white men whenever you can. Get rid
of your Chinamen just as fast as vu
can, supply their places with white
laborers, and then our county and city
will receive a new impetus and "spring
forth with a rewnessof life."
Wo do not know, at this g' eat dis
tance, whether Bon Wade will be de
lighted or not with the manner in which
the New York Sun takes him up and
pats him on the back as a reward for
his rpcent little outburst against Presi
dent Hayes; but imagine that if that
old war-horse abolitionist feels disgust
ed at the President's honorable policy,
he will be 6till more disgusted at find
ing that in opposing the President his
first ally is the most surrilous, unprin
cipled and reckless en my of true Re
publicanism. Politics have before now
made strange bed fellows, but never a
move ill-assorted couple than Wade and
Dana of t tie Sun.
Though eve: y thing in modern times
is done on a gigantic scale, if wo except
the Clackamas county Court House,
nothing is bigger than a modern law
suit. Mrs. Gaines has been suing the
city of. New Orleans and one or two
hundred private individuals "for time
whereof the memory of man r mneth
not to the contrary," for fifty or sixty
millions worth of real estate, and now a
grand suit for 1 50,000,000 has been
begun by the heirs of somebody or oth
er against the city of Philadelphia.
The New York World has made the
interesting discovery that the Republi
can party is the party of sectionalism.
The severity 'f this censure would be
uncalle I for at any time, hut at a time
when the millennium is just beginning
to show itself around the corner, such
cruelty is unnatural. We believe the
Democratic party is and always has
been the party of patriotism, intelli
gence and honesty, as wituess Davis,
Hampton and Tweed.
The quiet surrender of the Chamber
lain officials in South Carolina of a con
test that had become utterly hopeless,
was the most sensible step that could
have been taken. The courts, the taxes,
the lawyers and State funds are all in
the hands of Hampton and his follow
ing, and it were in vain to prosecnte a
suit that could have but one ending.

will now, as then, add $150 to the actual in
debtedness ot the city.
Had it not been for the visitation of
smallpox upon tins community, it will be
observed that we could nearlv have extin
guished our Indebtedness against theO -n ral

K)00 less than the year previous. It wi I, how
ever, be observed t hat our liability in the road
fund is great r by $ til n than the enr pre

of property holders adjacent to Jackson street.
