APALPARLE JOKE.

The Jacksonville Times of Saturday
says the hugest joke of the season
was perpetrated in the OregOnian Of
the 31st ult., which informs us that
the dolly Vardens" will carry Jack
son county by 200 majority. This is
a piece Of the most subIimated impu-
dence that has come to our knowledge,
equaling in falsity the assertion Of
the Bulletin that the Guard, Times,
and other Democratic papers, would
repudiate the Democratic ticket.
The truth of the matter is, q call for
an independent State convention
wouldn't receive a handful of Demo-
cratic signatures, and there is large
majority of this kind to overcome.
There are no doubt some Republicans
who would join county independent
movement. A majority of them are
bound to have a straight county
ticket out anyhow, if some of their
brethren do put up dolly Warden"
ticket. Where the Independent votes
are coming from is mystery. If
the Oregonian will add 100 to its
fancied majority, it will have the
Democratic ascendancy here ne@t

SHALL CRIME EE PUNISHED.

We have received q long communi.
cation for publication, advocating
the repeal, by our next Legislature,
OF capital punishment. In conse-
quence Of the great length of the
communication we are necessarily
compelled to omitits publication. In
this connection we ask our correspon-
dents to confne their communications
to as brief limits as possible, in order
to insure their publication. Short,
terse, pointed articles upon all legiti-
mate subjects will be cheerfully re-
ceived and promptly published.
In relation to the subject Of capital
punishment we have this to aay:
Many good and tenable arguments
might be adduced on both sides of
the question. 1t is a subject that is
exhaustless in extent, and its discus
sion is calculated to create a deeper
feeling than almost any other theme.
There seems to be growing in the
mind Of a class Of philanthropists a
chronic desire TO shield criminals from
the just punishment of crime, and it
is to be hoped that this over-weening
solicitude for the protection of those
who break the laws will not prove so
popular or powerful as to abolish
punishment altogether.
To abolish all penalties for violated
law would not only destroy all pro-
lection to the innocent and peaceable
citizins, but would be injurious to
the criminal himself. The fact that
he knows punishment win be visited
upon him as certain as he violates
wholesome laws, deters him from
committing hundreds of crimes which
he would otherwise yield to without
hesitation. II the Legislature,
be called upon to meddle
with the matter at all, let il be asked
10 provide such legislation as will ena-
bic the courts to enforce tho laws
with less delay, and with more GER
iainty, so that no mere teehnicality |
or informality shall permit the guilty |
10 escapo the just punishment OF the
law, whatever the penalty may be,
The recent disgraceful calendar in
our Linn County Circuit Court OK
hibits a sufficient argument in favor
4 TIM fullest enforcement of our 80
Verest laws against crime.

THE OLD THING.


In the Independent County Con.
yentions, thus far throughout the
State, the Republicans have managed
toget away with large per centagt
of the paying Offices, as well as q
large majority Of the hold-over Sena.
tors. In Yamhill only one Demorcat
was nominated on the ticket. In
Marion two Of the three Senators,
the Clerk, Treasurer, Surveyor and
Coroner are Republicans. In Ben
ton the Senator, two Of the three
Representatives, the Sheriff, Treas
urer and School Superintendent arc
Republicans.
In Linn county the Independents
will be compelled to give the most Of
the Offices to Republicans, rs there
are not enough Democrats I'M the
movement to fill more than half Of the
places on the ticket. This is a pro-
digious movement for Democrats,
don't it.

entirely too much, but let them be
regulated by the reduction of the fees,
and let those who want the services of
these officials, pay charges instead Of
taxing the whole people.
These Independent Taxpayers"
again say, they are in favor of repeal
ing the law creating the Board of
Equalization. l suppose they mean
the State Board In former article
| alluded to the unfairness and gross
injustice that is imposed upon large
proportion of the taxpayers under
the present law that regulates the
assessment of property. But to my
mind it is extremely doubtful whether
the law can be changed or amended
so as to produce any more just or sat
isfactory results affecting the taxpay-
ers of the counties individually. But
we have law ifrigidly enforced that
will establish just and equitable pro-
portionment of the taxes demanded
by the State from the several counties
in their aggregate capacities--that law
is the State Board OF Equalization and
none other can effect the purpose.
Will these "Independent Taxpay-
ers', tell the people how they propose
to equalize the taxes between all the
counties of the State and have each
one pay its just proportion when their
assessment rolls show a discrepancy
in some instances of a hundred per
cent. in certain species of property
whose value should be very nearly the
some in every county in the State
The manifest injustice of the PROPOSE.
tion is too plain for elucidatiod Yet
these new-faDgled reformers are clam
oriDg to blot out the only law that
can establish an equitable and uniform
rate of taxes that is dne the State from
all the counties. The present law
bearing upon this question may have
Objectionable features and might be
profitably amended but the existence
OF some such law seems imperitive.
The subject shall receive no further
attention now, but respectfully ask
the Independent Taxpayers to let the
people know their objections to the
law in question or quietly suffer them
to sink into obscurity with the party
that gave them birth.
The masses of the people at the
present time seem almost frantic in
their demands for retrenchment and
reform in the Public Service. The
Democracy is ready and determined
to yield to these popular demands to
the utmost limits OF expediency and
for these reasons we urge all members
Of the Democratic party without fail
TO attend the primary meetings, so as
have full and fair expression of the
party, selecting men that will not sell
hem out in the County Convention.
We will choose our public servants
rom the farms and workshops, it
may be, men known to be firmly
grounded in the principles that make
good men, that even the most un-
Icrupnlous of the opposition will not
lare say they are not OK

PRnrARIEs NEXT sATUapAY.


Next Saturday-one week from TO
morrow-the Democracy Of the vari
GUS precincts in Linn county viii
hold their primariesfor the purpose o.
electing delegates to the Linn County
Democratic Convention, which con.
venes in this city on the 2jth instant.
These are most important primaries
The delegates should be selected with
careand Judgment, and should be men
who will sink their individual prefer
ences in q desire for the good Of the
party and Of the people Of our coun-
ty. The candidates selected by them
for county Offices will undoubtedly
by elected, and should be men who
will carefully guard the affairs Of the
county and the interests of the tax
payers against extravagance and
fraud. The Senators and members
of the Legislature should be careful,
intelligent, conscientious and unpur-
chasable men--men who will not be
swerved by the aatteiy Of railroad
kings nor ruled by monied consider
ations.
We trust that every Democrat in
the county will turn out to the pri-
maries and assist in sending up true,
faithful and trustworthy delegates.

FARMER CANDIDATES.

A great many papers in Southern
Oregon are just now grumbling be-
cause they claim that there should
have been farmer put upon the
State Ticket. We are happy to srase
to our contemporaries that there is
one good practical farmer on the
ticket. A. II. Brown, candidate for
State Treasurer, has been an extern
siVe stock-raiser and farmer for years.
He now owns, and personally super
intends one of the largest farms. in
Powder River valley, and is in more
respects than this one, a people, s
man. In the Convention he had a
number of highly respectable COM
petitors for the Office, and the fact
that he came off victor is a sufficient
guarantee that he is known and &C.
spected by our neighbors of Western
Oregon
Democrats here in Eastern Oregon
are satisfied that the ticket is the
strongest that could have been nom
mated. We claim that the people
owe to Gov. Grover a denomination
and reelection. He has been a
faithful public servant and therefore
of right, deserves to be retained the
second term. .-BakS City Herald.

TIM WORK or THE REPUBLICAN, con-
yENTION.

The Radical State Convention at Sa
lem ON Wednesday Of this week wa
very harmonious affair-as is tn,
case generally when party has nc
hopes cf success in the election. The
platform is truly model Of Radical
propriety ~ plausible, wishy-washy
and "taking." It is more like Gov.
Woods speeches than anything else
IA full decoction of "sweetened
wind" We will publish it next
week.
The ticket was regularly manu-
factured by the Custom House Ring,
and slipped through the Convention
like "greased lightning" Dick
Williams, for Congress, is a good
fellow, and there is no Disgusting the
fact that his was the best nomination
the party could have made, under
the circumstances. But we believe
his party acted unwisely in putting
him up to be killed off in the flower
and bloom of youth. His fate is
mournful to contemplate.
J. G. Toleman, Of Jackson, for
Governor, we don't know anything
about, excepting thata acquaintance
Of his at the Convention told US he
always bet on the winning nag at
horse-race. He is said to be breed
er of good stock and fast horses, and
will never be disturbed in that vo-
cation by being placed in the Ex-
ecutive chair.
G. NJ. Foster, Of Baker, for Secre-
tary Of State, is man to fame un-
known, and "little Chad" will have
an easy race against him.
D. G. Clarke, Of Benton, is man
against whom nothing can be said
except that is he running with the
wrong crowd. We hate to see Dave
offered up, but he will make, good
pascal lamb.
e. NJ. Waite, the candidate for
State Printer, is. job printer of
Salem, and got away with his nomi-
nation over the newspaper men of
the party because none of them ex-
pected to be elected. He will Waite
q long while before the State Print
ing falls into his platter.

The nominee for School Superintend-
snt, will do as well to beat as any
body.
