OREGON CITY. THTRSDAi. SEi'R. 5, l78.
Scott Scotches the V. IV. Co.
The city of Port-laml ha3 a monopoly
seated at its doors wliicb, when it turns
a screw, wrenches the social fabric from
. turret to foundation stone; and because
of the grip it gets on Scott (he baing a
householder there, and not subsidized
by this particular monopoly), we find
him to be as sensitive a j other "critters"
after all, and not tho pachydermatous
we, from his callous treatment of other
Tital monopolies, had began to regard
him. This particular monopoly is
called the Portland Water Work's Co.,
which might bo called a corporate saint
along side of the satyr of the O. S. N.
Co., but from the convolutions and con
tortions, we find Scott writhing in, it
must have extorted at least fifty cents
per month extra out of that Lat that
was wont to receive droppings of this
size, from a sympathizing nblic, and
were rewarded with the kindly smiles
of its owner. We can advise Scott how
to relieve the Orejoaian of this excess
ive tax: let him devote one of the back
windows of his composing room, after
posting a notice, No nuisance com
mitted here," so as to scare off those
typos from their usual practice; from
this back window a bucket can be drop
ped into 14 Willamette's crystal tide,"
and flagons of its sparkling hydrogen
drawn to tho thirsty souls of he Ore
gonian staff. Most of the suicides hap
pen below this place, and the American
Exchange remains no longer to con lam
inate its waters above; a person can drink
this nectar with reasonable composure,
asking no questions for tho concience'
sake. - By all means commence there
form at once; heroically free yourself
from the grasp of a tyrannous monopo
ly that will not subsidize, but only op
press you; rise like- Venus out of tho
condnits, an Amphitrite out of tho res
ervoir; a Naiad or tadpole from the
water pipes of the Portland Water
company, and swear by all the heathen
gods that Rome shalljdiowl unless they
tip the leader of public opinion. Thus
will he assert those instincts which
make him as quiet as an underground
sewer to those other monopolists whose
outrage o public equities smell to
heaven.
How Sleep the llrave I
As the bitter chalice- of defeat will
Boon be visited to the lips of at least 39
aspiring candidates for the Senate, be
ours the task to soothe their exaspera
ted spirits at the ingratitude of Re
publics, to raise their bruised .heads
from the groveling of defeat, to point
them to a seat in a higher tabernacle
than the United States Senate, where
board is free, and whisky can be man
ufactured by the barrel at the word of
command of the Governor of that, bet
ter land. Look up and be cheerful;
what matters it to after time if pang
arTd'sorrow .contorts and agonizes the
frames of 39. 'Tis but a passing spasm,
and will soon be over. Nature will
not be wrecked along with your aspira
tions,' but will run its usual grooves till
time shall bo no more.
From down the rista of years a frag
ment of quotation comes to us, wo
know not from whence, but it fdls the
soul with solace as its memory floats in
onus: "The whangdoodle mourneth
for its first-born." Take this to your
hearts ! sorrowful 39; apply it3 balm to
the wounds of your own defeat. You
all instinctively know that the poor old
mother whangdoodle of Democracy will
mourn as your fair proportions are
added to the holocaust of the shelved;
from the tears of this sorrowing moth
er will spring the benediction of your
vanished dreams; tears, which, while
they consign you to oblivion, bedew
your political graves and keep them
verdant to associate with memories of
you in the long hereafter.
Brother Scott, please pass the hat.
Tonic for Us.
There are times when Tony, full of
virtuous wrath and indignation for the
woes of his masters, swells to colossal
proportions and lannshes forth thundr
bolts of pent-up rage, as if he were tin
ictbyosiiurus or saurian monster, big
with the responsibilities of his calling.
Tony had one of these dropsical moods
on Sunday, and in response to our in
nocent item about tho Yamhill competi
tion in last weeks' issue, auathemized us
in the following manner:
"Wo suppose the editor who created
the opposition in the first place on the
Dayton route, and induced other peo
ple to put their money into steamboats
for his especial benefit, does not admire
this "excessive competition." It mat
ters little to him however as it is not
his money that was put into steamboats,
but the coin of those whom he could in
duce to do so in order to get up "ex
cessive competition" on the Willamette,
and a consequent reduction in his
freights. Some will evidently have to
tie up their boats."
After this Tony, you had hst tighten
tip the back strap to your breeches, as
it will be a month or more before you
can swell up to such dimensions again,
and in the meantime we will 'continue
along and see what further deviltry we
can devise to excite your manufactured
wrath and malediction.

Assessment Laivs.
Actuated by some money-bags behind
the scenes, the Oregonian of Thursday,
publishes a letter from a correspondent
signed " W," from Washington county,
whom it is unnecessary to say is some
Bohemiau moved to the deed in Port
land, by consideration of money, to at
tempt to substantiate the sophistical
and outrageous theory that money or
evidences of money, as notes, bonds,
mortgages, &c, should not be taxed at
all, but tho things that are tangible, as
lands, houses, cattle, sheep, growing
crops, Sec., should alone be taxed. From
the tenor of the same letter appearing
in the Standard, at the same time, it is
evident that a preconcerted effort is
being madt to create a sentiment in
favor of such a suggestion, and it is
likely the same letter will be forwarded
to the interior for publication. It is
not likely a person of ordinary intelli
gence will be led astray by the fine-spun
theories of the correspondent, as it is
quite evident that it is an effort being
made by the Shvlocks to escape
their equitable share of the burden of
taxation, and build up a favored class
in our midst. Happily the assault cf
the money loaners is met at the door,
and turned away empty-handed by the
following provision in our statutes,
which cannot be overcome by sophistry
and foils the scheme of " W " and crew
it reads, "The Legislative Assembly
shall provide by law for uniform and
equal rates of taxation, and shall pre
scribe such regulations as shall secure
a iust valuation for taxation of all
property, both real and personal-" and
thus are they answered.
What is wanted beyond every other
measure to secure a just assessment is
to compel every man, bank corporation
ana propertiea representatives, at a
given time, and by a uniform list, to
make out a schedule down to the finest
minutae of his lands, notes, mortgages,
cattle, shares of his stock, jewelry, and
every item of property above fifty dol
lars in value, against which he should
be permitted to deduct his legitimat
indebtedness,naming the amount owing
and to whom which should be sworn to
with a penitentiary -clause in the back
ground of the law for false statement,
and we are sure tnere will be no cause
left for complaint that some have es
caped from their just assessment. Some
may aver that such a measure would be
highly inquisitional, but that is what
no honest man fears, as under the pres
ent law he feels in duty bound to make
a clean breast of it. but the rogue and
rascal are never contented without
plenty of loop-holes to escape from the
meshes of the law; and, of course,
they would bo erreatly incensed
at measures to bring them strict
lv within the metes and bounds
of equal and exact assessments
To make their descent from
perjury easy, and to detaxationalizo
their money and personal effects, be
cause, forsooth, they may be hidden, is
truculent and cowardly submission to
criminalty. A strong and emphatic
law characterizing the offence and its
punishment is the only way to
administer justice according to the
mandate cf the constitution. Noth
ing to our mind more unreasonable
and unjust could bo devised than to
saddle real estate with all the taxes,
thus compelling our farmers' and mid
dle classes to bear tho load, while the
noblesse oblige the rich and the bejew
oled haul ton can strut through the land
exempt from any of the burdens of
Government, and so building up a
favored moneyed class in our midst.
Such a decree would deduct 20 percent,
from the value of landed property,
because of the all-prevailing desire it
would create to turn everything under
the ban of j taxation into the favored
mortgage or gold, which the tax
gatherer could not despoil.
Suppose wo. should turn the tables on
tli9 repr-esntatives of personal prop
erty, and say: Our lands are the means
of all subsistence; from them the in
crease of "personal property (as cattle,
horses, sheep, etc.,) are occasioned, and
all the multiplied wants of the human
family are satisfied, wealth produced
and industry stimulated; on our lands
houses are built which prod nee rentals
and add personal values to the arreat
accretion of this world's goods; on our
lands all products grow which, through
labor, generates wealth. It is against
natural laws that the mother, from
whoso prolific bosom our lives are fos
tered, should bo taxed. You must not
kill the goose which lays the golden
eggs, but rather that tithes should be
gathered from the product of her soil,
that a portion of the results of labor,
rental values, manufactured goods, and
personal effects, which of themselves
are not of primal necessity, but rather
of secondary importance as life-sustaining
elements, these alone shall ba
taxed; but our mother, from whence
we sprang, and to which we must re
turn, should never be desecrated by the
polluting grasp of a tax-gatherer.
JJuch fine-spun argument, as well as
sentiment might be educed to substan
tiate this claim for exemption, and a
dozen good reasons be given why lands
should be free from taxation, rather
than that personal property should.
We shall not dwell on abstractions of
this kind, however, but aver that while
the burden of tho cost of Government
always has been, and always will be
uncomfortable to bear, that the only
fair, exact, impartial and equitable
plan is after the wording of the consti
tution ," to prescribe such regulations
as shall seeure a just valuation for taxa
tion of all property., both real and personal."
The Great Preacher.
The iecheroustd cuss, Henry Ward
Beecher, is now lecturing in California
at 1,000 per night, and men and
women crowd each other to suffocation
to hear him. His lectures are filled
with the Puritan cant, " I am holier
than thou " style that marks the hypo
crite and dissembler. Such ministers
do more to indoctrinate infidelity and
unfaith into the minds of the masses
th in all other agencies combined. How
can a rotten, "iutrefied fountain distil
the sweet -raters of life? How can a
tawdry, whited sepulcher of sin reflect
the walls of the New Jerusalem? To
sit under the shadow of his teaching is
to breathe the deadly poisonous vapors
of the Upas tree, which results in moral
contamination and death. He trails
the sanctified garments of Christianity
in lethal gore, and is the impersonation
of original sin, as transplanted from
the Garden of Eden. We are thankful
that the country is full of earnest men
and women who are bold enough to say
"If he is your examplar of a Christian
life, we prefer to rumble along in the
old style, out of the fold, and glad of it."
Thanks, Thanks to Thee, My Wor
thy Friend.
The clerk of the weather is entitled
to a gold medal and a plug hat for his
uniform courtesy to the farming com
munity during the harvest season;
although his remarkable urbanity to
the sons of the soil induced the Port
land Water company to raise water
rates, calculating on a future death of
the aqueous, still in its general re
sults there is a cause for much congrat
ulation: no rains of moment have inter
vened to prevent the garner of the
crops, now substantially completed for
which consideration we courteously
bow our heads to Jupiter Pluvius, tho
god of the water pots.
We think those of our Clackamas
farmers who with indomitable zeal and
determination have tackled her forests,
intent on wresting a home from the
depths of the primeval are greater he
roes than those who go forth to con
quer cities, or do deeds of prowess on
the battle field.
Nothing but nerve extlted to a sub
lime pitch could sustain the will in its
fight with these obstructing elements
of nature, and we honor the noble men
and women who have set themselves
to the sacrifice of many years that a
home should finally crown the work.
A home, allbeit, built up with wasted
life energies that their children, more
than themselves may dwell in happiness
on lands made hallowed by their self
abuegaticn. No deed of valor in other
pursuits exceeds the measure of the
heroic, which must inspire those who
devote themselves to this work; and it
goe3 bravely on. Year by year tho do
main of the woods is encroached upon by
our yeomanry, and yields its tribute to
the conqueror in fire and smoke, dust
and ashes; thus by the necromancy of
the fallen giants ot the forest, is the
final conquest of the woods divined.
In time our county, from the river to
the coast and Cascade line will stretch
forth a broad expanse of farm land,
save here and there a spot, not so much
consecrated to Druid as to answer for
the farmer's " wood lot," isolated re
minders of the once interminable forest
that intervened. It is gratifying to
know that if nature is perverse, and
presents her hardest task to the home
seekers in Clackamas county, that not
withstanding this, men of muscle and
perseverance are at the front never fal
tering at the work beforo them, and in
time they will appreciate the old max
im, " that the end crowns the work."
With this issue we send a supple
ment containing the masterly speech of
Senator Mitchell delivered to his con
stituents at New Market Theatre on
Saturday night of last week. We
think it is superfluous to ask that it be
attentively read, as it commands atten
tion from commencement to close.
Our readers will see that we have again
and again called attention to the same
facts which Senator Mitchell has there
so forcibly arrayed to prove' his faith
ful execution of the trust confided to
him as the servant of the people of the
State of 'Oregon, and we are confident
tho universal verdict is "well done,
good and faithful servant." One slimy
reptile, however, who trails his veno
mous course through the editorial col
umns of the Oreijcmian, lives to rehash
set lies, false conclusion and inference
and vomit the dregs of his ingrate na
ture against the good name of Senator
Mitchell. It is balsamic to remember
that though Ithe "mills of tho gods
grind slowly" that this scotched snake
will 3Tet be ground impalpably fine.
Senator Mitchell has the eloquence,
the knowledge and tho ability to make
"Injun" mcl out of Scott, and we
hope to see him soon agaiD, as " grist"
at the Senator's hopper.
Scott thinks the price sot on water
by the Portland Water Co. might prop
erly be entitled high-drop-athy, and he
has been so afflicted with the rabies at
sight of his water bill that he has for
gotten to remind the people of his baili
wick that water can be procured in
digging from 20 to 40 feet right under
their dosps nud thus could
the burghers of that weeping, wailing
and gnashing town, absolve themselves
from the Green eyed tritons who now
reigu so imperiously over them.

English Wheat Trade.
The imports of Pacific Coast wheat
into Great Britain continue light, but
the quantity on the way is increasing at
a rapid rate. The London Mark Lane
Express of August 27th thus outlines
the condition of the breadstuffs market:
"The weather has been dull the past
week. Bain fell every day. Much de
lay was consequently experienced in
harvest operations. In tho early dis
trict of home counties the land has
been pretty well cleared of cereals, but
in some fields the crops are still s and
ing, while in the north a large propor
tion of barley is uncut. In the south
of England the barley crop appears td
be to a great extent a failure. In the
midland counties, where the most favor
able hopes were expressed, the pros
pects have changed decidedly for the
worse. Scotch agricultural advices on
tho whole are favorable, both as regards
wheat and barley; but as the weather
has been broken and showery, some
anxiety is felt. Beside the interruption
to field labor, recent heavy rains have
almost put a stop to threshing, and
farmers have marketed very little
wheat at Mark Lane or provincial mar
kets, Should wet weather prevail dur
ing the remainder of the harvest, it is
more than likely a substantial enhance
ment of values will take place, especial
ly now that the French crop is serious
ly deficient, and the reported marvel
ous yield of Spring wheat in America
is more than doubtful."
California and Oregon Railroad.
From the Yreka Journal.l
The last 20 miles of road on the C. &
O. railroad was received by the Govern
ment a few months ago, and next year
the company is obliged to build an ad
ditional 20 miles at least, though we
hear it stated from prominent railroad
men that they will build enough to lost
three or four years, or may put the
road clear through to the Oregon line
A proposition from the German bond
holders, owning the Oregon branch, to
furnish the money at a very low rate of
interest, is said to be under considera
tion by the C. P. R. R , as the latter has
been using all its surplus capital on the
Southern Pacific in Arizona to head off
Tom Scott, besides building a new short
line via Bantas to Sacramento, over
wh:ch trains will run the 1st of next
month. The C P. It. R. Co. claim that
the road to Reading does not pay, ex
cent during the harvest season, nor can
it bo made to pay unless finished
through to Portland, and secure the
Oregon travel and trade. If the C. P
R. R. Co., however, conclude to forfeit
their franchise, the German; bond
holders are ready to take it off their
hands, and build the road th rough from
Reading to Roseburg. We trust that
one or the other lot of capitalists will
put it through as soon as possible, as
everybody appears anxious to look out
for the engine while the bell rings.
The superintendent of the Monu
mental mine recently forwarded six
buttons of silver obtained from six
samples of ore in the up-raise of the
main shaft, which ranged from $4,G5G.OO
to $857.00 per ton the average being
2,143. Tho superintendent writes,
" These samples ranged from the rich
est to tho poorest of tho rock." The
vein where this is obtained is sixteen
inches wide. Mr. C. S. Miller has not
yet returned from San Francisco, where
he went to engage machinery for this
promising mine. Stockholders in the
Mon mental have a profitable investment
unless nil signs and indications go for
naught.
Senator Davis, of West JVryrinia, tit
will be remembered, was greatly agita
ted as to the condition of tho United
Stales Treasury. He set his experts to
work and they have brought to light a
remarkable commentary on the honesty
and laithfulness of the men who have
handled the money of the United States
in the century ..that it has been a nation.
The total receipts in that time have
been almost sixteen billions of money,
bnt every cent of it is properly account
ed for. Thus is the figity fussiness of
an officious old gentleman turned to
good account. But there is no basis
for a Democratic campaign document.
