OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, AIG. I, 1S77.
Is There No Helpi
A couple of weeks ago we called the
attention of oar readers to the necessity
of good county roads, and at the same
time suggested that if our roads were
placed in a better conditior, Oregon
City would be greatly benefitted there
by. Since that time we have conversed
with several of our farmer residents,
who heartily endorse the article ard
also tell us that at lt one third of the
trade justly and properly belonging to
our town now is forced to go to Port
land, while it would come here if the
roads were made passable. We con
versed with one man in particular who
resides about fifteen miles from town,
and twenty-three from Portland. He
tells us that he would rather travel the
extra sixteen miles to Portland and
back than attempt to come into Oregon
Cibf "with a load. He says he can make
the trip quicker than he can to Oregon
'City. In fact, the road from town to
.Lia place is impassable. Now, it is so
with many others. The county roads
. are notoriously bad. Yet every year
. the people of this county pay ont di
rectly from the county fund hundreds
of dollars for extra, in addition to the
regular load service required by law.
1 Why this bad state of affairs? Simply
because our road law is a farce, and the
money and labor expended is worse
than thrown away. Let us figure a lit
tle and see whether there is not a wrong
somewhere: We hare over 1,900 voters
in this county; allow that there are 1,400
road workers. This would raise a sum
of $5,000 on labor, and the property
road tax amounts to fully that much
more. But we will be moderate, and
place the entire sum at 810,000 per
year. We are not fearing a successful
contradiction when we say that for the
past fifteen years Clackamas connty has
-egularly expended this fall sum (or
laimed to have done so) on her public
ads. This would make the sum $150,
"). let this largo sum of money has
given ,is a road that can be traveled
r the second hard raid we have in
fall, and until late in the spring. Is
t apparent to any sensible man that
his large sum of labor and money
been properly expended, that we
d have had at least our most public
in not only a passable, but in ex
it condition? There is no use to
ise the fact that unless there is
hing done to materially improve
ads leading to Oregon City, the
art of the trade of the county will
Portland, or other places that are
ible. We suggested in our other
what we regarded as a remedy
is useless waste of money and
on pur roads, and we would like
the question discussed in the
that our next Legislature may
some change in the present law.

Jicsumptioii.
A writer in the N. Y. Evening Post
advocates immediate resumption of spe
cie payments by the Government. He
argues that delay is dangerous, that the
policy of contraction will but increase
the difficulty of resumption, and that
the sooner it is done the better. He
believes, however that it can be done at
-once. Tho Treasury now holds over
.$100,000,000 in gold'coid, to be increas
ed ten or fifteen millions more from the
proceeds of the sale of bonds to Jbe
syndicate, and capable of further indefi
nite increase by the same meaus. Nearly
the whole of this is available for the
purpose of resumption. The ouly classes
who would present greenbacks for re
demption would ba tuose who wanted
gold to hoard, those jjrbo wanted it to
export, and those who wanted to profit
by the premium on gold while there
was yet a chance. It is argned that the
rush for gold would very soon subside
and that the Government could meet all
At mands witN t difficulty.
Civil Service Reform.
The criticisms of the press on the
order of the President shows how wrong
a conception may be entertained as to
the proper duties of the Federal office
holders, and the nature of the reform
proposed to be introduced into the civil
service. All the criticisms which we
have noticed that were adverse to the
order seem to take the ground that it
will destroy the Republican party.
Were this so, it would be a practical
acknowledgment that the party only ex
ists by virtue of the officeholders. This
is certainly not the case. When a citi
zen votes for a President, he recognizes
in the man he supports certain princi
ples of government, one candidate, for
instance, favoring free trade and the
other a tariff; or one hard money and
the other a paper currency. They vote
for the one who entertains views in har
mony with their own, and, in accordance
with our system of government, the de
feated candidate and those who sup
ported him must submit to the will of
the majority. It becomes the duty of
the candidate to carry out the authority
which the Constitution gives him in
harmony with the views expressed by
his party platform; but with this, party
influence, so far as the executive de
partment is concerned, should cease.
The revenues paid into the Government
are not paid by his supporters alone,
but by the people at large. Into no
department of the Government does the
necessity of party influence enter. The
good of the country does not require
that any attention should be paid to the
political opinions of the men in cbai-ge
of any particular branch of the Govern
ment, and if civil service bo carried ont
in its proper manner, political opinions
can have no direct influence in securing
place, no more than when a man hires a
book-keeper, clerk, printer, or a furmer
a hand in harvest time. They generally
select such as do their duty best, irre
spective of party associations.
The pernicious spoils system has been
in force so long that it has become re
garded as an established principle that
the entire machinery of the Government
must be conducted on a partisan basis.
This partisan system can be carried to
any length. Suppose that our post
master was to first deliver his mail to
the Republicans instead of serving all
alike in rotation as they come? How
long does any person suppose it would
be endured by the people? Not very
long, and Republicans would as readily
decry such a course as those deprived
of their proper rights. This would be
only an extension of tho theory held by
the spoilsmen, that all the departments
of Government must be filled by par
tisans who supported the President in
power. If the party can demand all the
Government offices, it should be equal
ly entitled to the Government favors.
It was this poliey of partisanship which
nearly lost the Presidency to the Re
publicans last year.and Presidant Hayes
was elected on a pledge that he would
carry out the reformation. Under for
mer administrations it was regarded as
but proper that each district or State
should have so many offices, whether
they were a necessity or not. In the
State of New York it was shown that
one fifth of the men employed in the
Custom House were not needed. They
were kept there for party services. In
this Custom Houe alone it is stated
there were over 1.200 persons -on the
pay roll on the recommendation of the
machine politicians, who were not need
ed, and the cost to the people was about
$1,025,000 per annum. It had b-conie a
principle with party managers that there
must not only be a man to do the work
of an office, but also one to do the party
work outside. It is easy to see that the
reform President Hayes has inaugurated
within his party is no smi.ll undertaking.
When the officeholders are expected to
take an active part in the management
of political affairs, they must more or
less neglect their work, and instead of
being responsible for the faithful dis
charge of their duty to the President or
the people, they are more indebted for
their position to the politicians whose
success they are supposed to have se
cured. President Hayes has taken a
noble advance in a proper reform in our
civil service, and while there are those
who are inclined to find fault with his
order, it will stand against all opposi
tion, and, the long-desired reform, while
it may be checked for a time, will come
at last; and instead of the future con
tests having to be fought for Republican
success on this issue.it will become one
of its accomplished principles and one
of its strongest planks in the datform.

RVpuNipans now point to the destruc

The .Federal Credit.
The America people have reason to
feel proud of tbeiV country, and espe
cially has the Republican party of its
past and present financial policy. The
best indications of the standing and
confidence entertained of a nation is its
financial credit abroad. In this respect
the securities of the United States stand
in advance of almost any nation on the j
face of the earth. Notwithstanding the
agitation of the further issue of curren-
cy and the making of silver a legal tn-
or for all sums.foreign capitalists have
the utmost confidence in the honor and
integrity ot the people.and are anxious
ly investing in Ctr bonds. The loan
now being negotiated by Secretary
Sherman is being rapidly taken at the
low rate of four per cent, at par in Eng
land, and large sums are taken in our
own country. This, in a financial point
of view, is highly creditable to the ad
ministration, and the people generally
for it shows that the foreign capitalists

Inter-State -Commerce.
We are in receipt, says the Chicago
Post, of the first annual report on the
internal commerce of the United States;
the statistics' being brought down to
June 30. The document, prepared by
Mr. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., opens with the j
statement that while the shipping em
ployed in our foreign trade represents a
capital of 8200,000,000, our railways
proximate in value 81,000.000,000, and
while the value of our foreign commence
is 1,121,031,277, that of our internal
traffic is 818,000,000,000. Our rail ton
nage is therefore one hundred times
greater in bulk than our foreign com
merce. Discussing tho competitive
forces which exert a controlling influ
ence on inland commerce, Mr. Nimmo
claims valuable commercial results from
the improvemeut of rivers and harbors
by the Government, by which competi
tion with the railway system has been
secured and cheap transportation on
through cargoes quite generally main
tained. The financial condition of a
railway has an important bearing upon
its freight tariff, and the competition of
Xroducts in the markets of the country
is often an effective restraint upon trans
portation rates. The more northerly
lines to the seaboard erjoy peculiar
geographical advantages.
The railroad problem of the diy is
how to solve the practical difficulties
which have arisen through the competi
tion of roads and of markets. The strug
gle for the seaboard traffic begins in
Ohio and grows stronger and more com
plicated as we advance westward. The
power exercised by the managers of the
great trunk lines is often dwarfed by the
active efforts of many smaller commer
cial forces. Trausportat on and trade
are so intimately connected that to elim
inate railway competition would do vio
lence to commercial interests.
As to water tonuage, the changes in
the past quarter of a ceutury have been
wonderful. Then the trade of St. Louis
was confined to the rivers, while in 1S75
78 per cent, of her tonnage went by rail.
The lumber traffic of the Upper Missis
sippi holds its 'own. Chicago ships east
ward 92 per cent, of her breadstnffs by
lake. The Canadian canals have formed
a lively competition with New York for
foreign commerce.
Tho telegraph has produced great
changes in the modes of commerce. The
center in grain production has in thirty
years goue from Luke Erie to the Mis
sissippi. Cotton now goes direct by rail
to North Atlantic ports and factories,
and pork is shipped on through bills to
Europe from interior poiuts in Iowa and
Illinois. For nnny years the commerce
of the Erie canal greatly exceeded that
of the Mississippi river, but the canal
traffic is now surpassed fivefold by that
of two or three trunk railways to the
seaboard. The West semis to the East
live times as much grain as to the South.
A little bnudle of humanity up the
country, who is only big by the ampli
tude of his title, which is Brigadier
General Martin Van Bureii Brown, as
sumes to be catistio over the assertion
of ours that there is a general feeling
among Democrats and Republicans
alike that a little spondn'nx fell like
dew from heaven upon a few obstinate
Legislators to revivify their waning
f-ith in Grover. We can stand mild
censure with a most transparent forti
tude coming from disinterested sou ces,
but to be reviewed by tho Brigadier
General is a rank offense. We said he
is only big by the amplitude of his
title we retract; for he is .voluminous
too as the biggest appropriator of the
people's money, without rendering an
equivalent, of all the hungry aud dis
houest horde Grover has fastened like
leeches on the body of the State. A

Mr. President: I nm directed by the Speaker
to inlorm you that the House has passed.
The only blessing Brown can con
tribute to his country, is that his knav
ery which is one of the constituent
elements and prop of Groverism in
Oregon will go very far to overturn
the political leeches and vampires that
have nearly bankrupted the State in
defiance of our constitutional limita
tion, and thus far he will serve to
"point a moral."
His military career does not abound
in exploits to excite our pride or curi
osity, his "last campaign against the
bucks being pronounced a failure owing
to the necessity of his anchoring in the
bunch grass regions during the preva
lent winds in that country to keep from
blowing away, and he was therefore
transferred to the Dr partment of Linn
aud given the task of keeping the
squaws down in Albany with what
success we are not aware. Brigadier
General Martin Van Buren Brown

From the Nanaimo Press of July
2Gth, we take the following:
"From Indian sources we learn that
a canoe full of Queen Charlotte In
dians, comprising men, women aud
children, were murdered by the Cowi
chan Indians, near Plumper Pass
about a week ago. The following are
the particulars as far as we have been
able to procure them:
Several months ago a number of
Cowichan Indian mysteriously disap
peared, aud the tribe for some reason or
other, laid the blame on the Northern
Indians, aud decided to wait their time,
and have a tooth for a tooth, an eye for
an ej-e, and a life for a life. The chance
evidently arrived about a week ago,
for as a canoe laden with Queen Char
lotte Indians, was passing through Ac
tive or Plumper Pass they were met by
two canoes filled with Cowichan In
dians. The Q leen Charlotte Indians,
not suspecting any foul play allowed
the two canoes to come alongside when
the men were immediately killed aud
the women and children taken on shore.
During the night the captured wo
men were ravished by the capturers,
and both women and children killed by
them in cold blood next morning.
At Victoria the police have informa
tion that two canoes were attacked, one
of which succeeded in escaping. Five
persons men, women aud children
were murdered.
The Strike.
The strike at Indianapolis on the P.
C. & S. L. It. B., ended by laborers ask
ing and receiving permission to go to
work on the old terms.
Fire was set in a Chinese house, in
Sari Pablo, near Oakland, on the 20th,
and nine houses were destroyed before
the flames wore subdued.
At Albany, New York, the st'ike is
believed to be ended. Workingmen
have resolved to hold no more public
meeting, and denounce the mob.
In St. Louis tl o. general impression
is that the worst is over. The Missouri
Pacific railroad has commenced run
ning freight trains.
Eiiilit thousand miners in Plymouth
district Pennsylvania. have struck.
The Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys
are much excited and all business is
paralyzed.
The C hicago papers publish a list of
the killed and wounded in the riot of
Friday night. As far as can be ascer
t lined fifteen were killed and seventy
five wounded.
In San Francisco, Snndav nigh, a
company of safety men was fired upon
by hoodlums near Laurel Hill Ceme
tary. The company replied with a vol
ly and the assailants took to the brush.
In consequence of the strike of min
ers coal has advanced fifty cents per
ton!
The negro Senator from Mississippi,
Bruce, who recently visited San Fran
cisco, expresses the opinion that the
Chinese are not a desirable addition to
our population. He says:
"I naturally imagined that tho essen
tial features of prejudices against the
immigration of Chinese, and opposition
to the exercise of the suffrage by the
colored race, were the same, and had a
common origin in the illiberality of
certain people. I see now that there is
a vast difference, and that where out
race assimilates with Americans freely,
owing to the peculiar repel 1 ant qnalites
and disinclination of the Chinese to
mingle with c r adopt European customs,
! they must ever rem iin total strangers
to the people whose domestics they are,
and whose, work they perform."
Tho Albany (N. Y.) Journal prints an
account of Mr. Tilden's attitude in re-
gard to the Electoral Commission bill
while it was under discussion, which it
says is authoritative. According to this
story Mr. Tihlen was very slow in giv-
I ing any opinion, but when Mr. Hewitt
left him to return to Washington Mr.
. Tilden remarked: "Mr. Hewitt, don't
take the responsibility of defeating it."
On that answer Mr. Hewitt acted.
Sun Francisco Chronicle: There is no
labor strike in this city to plead in ex
cuse of riot and disorder. All this
confusion is produced by a class of
idle, bumming, thieving loafers, known

habit of earning a living by work were

and before that attacked the Chinese

Joseph and his band have made their
escane into Montana and will probably
locate in British America. The troops
stationed at the east end of the Loin
pass, to intercept the band, allowed
them to pass without ofltring to give
battle. General Howard has started in
pursuit, but we fear it will end in
naught as Joseph has a good start and
he will make good time for the British
line.

The Assistant Secretary of the Treas

fact is there is no contraction. The
