The more money you save the morp

I'"' LLINOIS is at present furnishing a shining example of
the benefits of machine rule in politics. Members
of the legislature have confessed that they accepted
bribes to vote for United States Senator Lorimer and the
nauseating details of corruption lire being made public.
A few years ago Delaware was without represents
tion in the upper house because of similar corruption
through the ambition of wealthy men to wear a toga.
Shortly before that Montana furnished another shining
example of the beauties of the present system. Even be
fore that Oregon had a dead lock session, and corruption
was the order of the clay.
Dozens of cases could be cited of legislative scandals
i
over the election of senators in a score of states. It is the
logical outcome ot prevailing methods in politics. Be
yond tho scandals are the open secrets of politics, the dom- -inatiou
of legislatures by corporations and tools of tliei
"beast in the jungle."
It is to restore this condition which Oregon broke!
away from when it adopted the direct primary law and !
made possible the selection of senators by a popular vote
that the Oregonian and the politicians are today cen
tering their energies upon the creation of an assembly,
merely another name for the political machine through
which they hope to restore old conditions, bribery, scandal
and corruption.
Voters of a state have a right to say who they will
vote for. Where old methods obtain, they have nothing
to say and are left to a choice between men selected for
them by those who make politics a business. Illinois
people had no will in the election of their senator.
Prejudice, ignorance and partisanship have ever been
the willing servants of the few who seek to control legis
lation that will divert the earning of the many into the
pockets of the few, and so in Oregon we again hear the
same old appeal under the pretense of saving the partv.
Purification of politics may remain an "irridiscent"
dream, but certainly politics in Oregon have been purer
under the direct primary than the' were under the old
system and it is hardly probable that the people will want
to restore conditions prevailing now in Illinois.
A USELESS OBSTACLE.

When a man hasn't any reputa

If a man won't listen to reason it's
sign that he doesn't agree with
yon.
A woman never thinks ot writing
a letter while she has some one to
talk to.
True love is something that Is able
to dispense with the advice of out
siders.
There seems to be no good reason why the Anient dam '
should continue to block the waters of the Rogue and stop
the progress of the fish upstream, contrary to the express
provisions of the laws of the state.
The Anient dam is useless and except for a few months
last year when an attempt was made to utilize it for irri
gation purposes, it has never served a useful purpose since
its construction.
The dam was built, according to allegations filed bv
stockholders in court, as part of a get-rich-quick scheme
out of money got from all parts of the country through
advertising a fake mine.
The mine for wliicli the dam was built long ago ceasejl
operation. Since then the dam has been a useless ob
struction, a monument to the confiding faith of innocent
investors and the cupidity of promoters.
The property is in receiver's hands. The excuse is
made that an adequate fish-way is not built on that ac
count, but it would seem that the construction of a fish
way should be ordered as a first lien upon the property,
or else the dam should be removed.
Still, a man never seems anxious
to marry a woman who Isn't afraid
f a mouse.
It's, better to face a woman with a
instlc tongue than to turn your back

With them he determined on n cam
paign against the savages, tho main
body of whom were securely posted
on an Island in Tulo Inke. A com
pany of U. S. dragoons under Major
Fitzgerals, had materially assisted,
by scouting along tho shores of tho
lake, obliging all the hostiles to tteok
refuge on the Island. A boat was
provided, being hauled ont from
Yreka, in whi h six armed men ro
connoltered almost dally the sav
ages' position. Tho Modocs had
largo supplies of fish, grass seeds,
wo-cus (pond Illy), camas, and ip-a,
which wore their chlof articles of
sustenance, stored away In caches
around the lake. These wore nosed
out by Wright's men, assisted by flvo
Shastas and Swill, a Columbia river
Indian, a stray Umatilla, and do-l
stroyed. The loss affected tho Modocs
serloiiBly, and they thought of com
ing to terms. Old Mary, n stray
squaw, was sent out to tho Island,
and after a day or two forty Indians
came over and peace appeared about
to spread her snowy wings ovor tho
scene. Tho object of Captain Wright,
however, was not to oecuro peaco,

These men, however, more wise
than the first, drove over tho hill,
thus avoiding the ambush so care
fully laid for them, and found safety
In tho barricade with the others.
In the afternoon Ben Wright ap
peared, and, taking in the situation
at a glance, did not pauso to com
municate with tho whites, but
furiously charged the Modocs even
in the midst of the tules, and at
tempted to cut them off from their
boats. The savages stampeeded,
and, making for tho water, were
mingled indiscriminately with
Wright's men, who killed them al
most without resistance, All along
the bank of tho lake the fight raged,
tho volunteers shooting and cutting
with a ferocity suited to a combat
with such cruel adversaries. Tho
savages sought only to reach their
boats and get out of range, and ovon
In this they hut partly succeeded,
for an undetermined number, rang
ing from twenty to forty, if wo mny
beliovo tho oidlnary accounts, met
a richly deserved fate.
Several succeeding ndays were
spont in search for tho Modoc's vic
tims, and the mangled bodies of
many Immigrants were found, whose
death had not been hoard of. Two
of these woro women and ono a little
child. Thoy wore all mutilated and
disfigured horribly, beyond recogni
tion In probably every case. Por
tions of wagons were found, and
camp utensils, fire arms, clothing,
clusively showed that an entire emi
grant train must have fallen a prey
to the demoniacal hostility of the In
dians. Twenty-two bodies were
found and burled by Wright's com
pany and fourteen by that of Cap
tain Ross. Of these last soveral
wore of womon and children, and all
disfigured and mutilated.

Ross escorted Snolllng's train, tho

proceeded to Jacksonville.

scouting and a good deal cf skirtnum-
