THE GRAY EAGLE OF MOUNT
HOOD.
Colonel E. D. Baker at the Old American
Theater in San Francisco
in 18G0.
I first knew the late General E. D.
Baker in 185G, at Downieville, which
was theD a thrifty mining town and
noted for its popular and professional
intelligence. He came there to plead
a great water case, for which he re
ceived 13,000 and. I do not think he
looked at a law book or thought
much about the case until he found
himself before the bar. There were
two trials of the suit, and during his
first speech Baker had captured the
jury in a brilliant apostrophe to
water, which would have made any
temperance lecturer immortal. I am
not able to say, at this remote time,
what relevancy the properties of pure
and sparkling water, welling up from
the gelid fountain of the Sierras and
leaping in suicidal frenzy from the
cliffs, had to the title of the water
ditch in dispute, but the great advo
cate made the jury see it, and that
was more to the purpose.
Some months after, the case was
tried again; Baker rose and was just
coming to the old fountains and cata
racts, when the opposing counsel
begged permission from the court to
suggest that since the colonel's former
brilliant plea a number of honest
miners had got into the headwaters
of the ditch and riled it up, so that
the waters didn't sparkle any more,
and, therefore, his magnificent de
scription of the upper premises had
no longer any proper application.
The court and spectators laughed,
Baker was horribly done up, came
very near making a failure, and would
hardly speak to the witty lawyer for
a week after.
During the Fremont presidential
campaign and not far from Downie
ville, there was an exceedingly rough
mining settlement of some five hun
dred people; and among them only
one Republican was known to exist.
All the rest were Democrats, and
most of them of a very uninviting as
pect. Baker determined to go there
and make a Republican sneeoh.
though strongly advised not to do so,
as it might be dangerous. But the i
mighty sorcerer was not afraid of the
forbidding faces of men; he knew
how to wake the latent divinity with-1
in the savagest of human souls, that
which is brought to the altar by the
crested wrath of ocean and the elo
quence of loud-talking storms.
He went, and, not without some!
misgivings, I went along. When en '
tering the village the crowd about the i
Bascom's grocery of the place hauled I
down the American flag in token of
hostility and disrespect, but offered no
further personal indignity. Baker
did not seem to observe the flag epi- 5
sode, and after dark he mounted a
carpenter's bench in front of one of
the vilest irrocshons of civilization.
and commenced. The crowd natur- j
ally collected, and he kept on. The
rough audience had heard of him,
though a detested black Republican,
they wanted to hear him "go." Not a
word was spoken in the crowd; not a
sign of applause or disapproval, and
never did an orator address an audi
ence so stolid seemingly. Baker
kept on half an hour or so without
perceptible effect, and then seemed to
be gathering all his energies for one
gigantic blow to split the obdurate
rock. He began to pace back and
forth along the bench, pouring out
wave after wave, cumulative, majestic
and overwhelming. Something like
a tremor ran through the obstinately
silent throng, I could see them move
uneasily under the terrible spell of
the enchanter. Some of them had
belonged to Riley's regiment in Mex
ico. Baker knew that, and looking up
to the naked flag-staff, he referred to
his own participation in the battles in
Mexico; and then for full ten min
utes, and, as it appeared, without a
Eeriod in the structure of his speech,
e rolled down a torrent upon the
transfixed audience
Like the dasbine, silver-plashing
Surges of San Salvador.
The orator, standing in the majesty
of his power, piling it up higher and
louder, until at length some one in
the crowd gave a queer kind of ag
onizing yell, as though unable to
stand that my longer and the stub
born rock was cleft for the outflow of
the hidden waters. The men yelled
continuously I don't know how long,
with the regular Irish howl, rushing
upon the frail platform. Baker and
his bench were overthrown, and it
was several minutes before the tri
umphant orator could be heard and
go on with his speech. I believe I
have never been so nearly insane with
excitement as at that particular time,
and certainly never saw an equal
number of men behave so frantically
from similar emotionsl At the elec
tion, a month after, the lone Republi
can at Goodyear's Bar was reinforced
by eighty-four Republican votes, and
ever after when Baker passed that
way he was cheered by the miners at
their work. On the way home, after
the scene described, he said, "Ah,
they are a hard lot, but I thought I
could fetch 'em."
"When Baker had returned to San
Francisco as United States senator
from Oregon, there was a great rush
of congratulating friends to meet
iim a the landing of the ship, some
-of whom had helped to drive him out
.of the city during the vigilance revo
Jution, to .take shelter in Carson val
ley. A meeting was called at the old
American theater, and long before
he time set, the street was thronged
-with people, waiting to get in. The
honae would hold four thousand, un
der o excessive jam, and two min
utes after the doors had been opened,
nothing could be seen but heads.
The immeose stage was also crowded
full of ladies, All the beauty, fashion
.and manhood that could squeeze be
tween the walls was there, sweltering,
jEaaning and waiting .for a great
peoh- By great good fortune I had
l)een saovea into a seat xo. ma uress
.circle, -close to the stage, where I
.could hear and see alL Baker got in
at the rear door, and waded through
billows of silks and satin to the front
stt the stage, causing a prodigious
uproar, ladies standing up and wav
ing their handkerchiefs, and the men
cheering with all fours and at the
top of their lungs. It was the tri
umphant culmination in the life of
the orator. It was the exiled Aris
tides returned to Athens after the
cruel ostracism; it was an ovation
after Marathon. Standing with his
arms crossed before him, and his
white hair glistening in the brilliant
gas light, I could see the swell of his
heavy respirations, and that he was
undergoing tremendous excitement.
Presently the noise ceased to a
dead stillness, and ho began. "Now,
when I ought to make the best speech
of my life, I am sure I am going to
make the very worstf" But nobody
else thought "so, and everybody was
up to that nervous condition which
an orator can himself feel as existing
among the people. The drama opened
with a scene of indescribable majesty
and" splendor, and every spectator
was an actor under the control of the
great master-player. I canaot here
recall much of what was said then.
It was never literally reported. There
were several reporters on the stage.
but in their excitement and under'
the tremendous inspiration of the
hour, hightened by the boisterous
scene in front, they forgot their busi
ness and let escape what could never
be recalled. One poor fellow, a Mr.
Ha:t, who was there to report for the
Bulletin, and was in the latter stages
of consumption, sprang from his
table, swung his arms about and ,"
cried out frantically, "You are right,
Colonel! By God we are all slaves!"
and then sank abashed into his chair, j
white as a ghost and trembling
violently. Nobody laughed at him,
but after a few seconds the whole
house from sleeper to roof tree shook
with stormy applause, such as I never
heard before or since. The people
seemed about crazy with one consent, '
and every now and then, without re
gard to what the speaker was saying
then, the electrical wave would start
again and roll over the audience, as
from the effect or some previous 1m-1
pulse only half subdued. j
"O, Liberty," ho cried, and it rang
like silver bugles from the four walls
and down from the roof. "0, Liber
ty, how imperishable and immortal!
Grind it to powder, thrust it through
darts, burn it to ashes and scatter it
to the winds, and it will yet arise
clad in a panoply of steel! Years,
years ago, I took my stand by Free
dom, and where the feet of my youth
were planted, there my manhood and
my age shall march."
And did not the Gray Eagle from
Mount Hood faithfully, gloriously
fulfill his vow? It was his inspiring
call that woke the Republican spirit
of freedom in the valleys and hills of
California. It was he who bore her
standard from the sources of the San
Joaquin over the plains and through
the forests of the north, and planted
it between the sturdy arms of the Co
lumbia, within the empire of Hood and
Jefferson and Ranier and St Helens,
where the turbulent Falls of the Co
lumbia answers from afar to the sweet
singing cataracts of Yosemite. It was
he who struck down the Iscariot Ben
jamin; and while still marching upon
the glorious highway whore the feet
of his youth had been planted, it was
he, in himself Cicero and Cassar, Cato
and Leonidas, who at length fell at
the head of a forlorn hope, offering
up his life, in the fullness of its prime
and glory, to the Freedom-spirit of
his devotion.
At length the memorablo speech
was concluded; the people went slow
ly away; and Baker disappeared be
hind the scenes forever. I saw him
no more nothing but the shattered,
soulless clay that came back from ,
Ball's Bluff, and now when the land
ward winds come in from the bound
less ocean to grieve and sob among ,
the noble monuments that have been
reared over the ashes of lesser men,
the spirit of that freedom which he
worshiped with all the fervor of a
great soul, droops beside a grave al
most unmarked by gratitude, points
rep:oaoh"ully at the Republican party
of California, and seems to utter the
pathetic interrogatory of the dying
Mingo chief: "Who is there to
mourn for Logan? Not one!" Corr.
Oakland Vidctte.
The Mortgage-Tux Law.
First: The general sentiment says:
The mortgage-tax law is right in
making it impossible to evade taxa
tion. If money is to be taxed let us
invent laws to secure full returns of
those who own or loan it Every tax
payer should sign his name in full
and make oath to return. If money
is to be taxed and debt offset and ex
empt then the assessor must learn
from every debtor who he owes; have '
a list made or his creditors and what
he owes each. Mortgages show for
the records, but other debts do not
so the assessor must gather them in
by sworn statements. This will neces
sitate correspondence and book-keeping,
because a man's creditors may
be scattered through the counties of
the state and the debt he offsets in
one county must be taxed in another.
This cannot be done without great
expense, and after all the creditor can
say his debt is not a good one and
refuse to be taxed on it
The principle of the mortgage-tax
law is entirely correct, but to carry it
out fully will require a great expense
and, do the beSt you can, a part of
the debts onset will evade taxation.
When a man says his debtor is un
certain how are you going to prove
the contrary?
The money lender says he pays too
much when his mortgage is assessed
at its full face value,, because other
property is in no county at over 30 to
40 per cent of its money value or co3t
The money lender says the tax law is
right if either property was assessed
at its -full value, as the law requires,
or, by just equalization, money was
assessed in proportion to the valua
tion placed on property.
There are those who say all land
and property should be taxed
wherever found to whoever possesses
it Not from a question of right but
that merely as a question of expedi
ency, money and accounts should not
be taxed, and debts should not be ex
empt, simply beosuM both lead to
fraud and complicate the business of
raising revenue. They claim that ex
emption of money from taxation will
work no hardship; will not increase
taxes on property or do injustice to
any class whatever. They say: to ex
empt money from taxation will cause
money to become abundant, as it will
come here freely from other coun
tries and reduce interest to 7 per cent
This wili compensate to the borrower
for paying taxes on his property and
for abolishing the present exemption
of indebtedness. It will increase
the state revenues largely, and de
crease the cost of collecting it. It
will do away with fraud and demoral
ization that now prevail, and the
farmer, as a taxpayer, will not pay
any more than his just share. The
present exemption for debt is
about iten millions in Oregon
more than the total of "money, notes
and accounts" that are returned for
taxation in the assessment This
shows the extent to which fraud pre
vails and the difficulty that will at
tend any attempt to enforce the pres
ent law. To begin with, this ten
millions of indebtedness will swell
the general assesfment Who would
be injured? The farmer will be as
sessed and taxed just as he is now if
out of debt and if ho is a debtor he
will soon get money at reduced in
terest, which will make him whole.
The money lender does not advocate
this proposition to make money free.
The money lender is willing to bo
taxed, only he claims that by the
present way of enforcing the law he
is unduly taxed. The proposition to
omit money from assessment is pure
ly an economic question proposed by
advanced students of political econ
omy as worthy of trial. They say:
money is always represented by some
investment It is loaned to the gov
ernment, to corporations, to individ
uals. If you tax property in
sight you include the money
it borrows. Those who have
and use money have many ways to
conceal it and evade taxation. So
many do this that it causes demorali
zation, so this class of political econ
omists advocate, not as a question of
right but merely as a question of expe
diency, that money can be left un
taxed without detriment to the state
or the individuals who compose it
