PLANNING Foa THE cAMPAIeN.


A breeze from the northern part of
the State watts to as intelligence Of
private political caucuses and secret
political plottings, having for their
object the control Of Democratic nom
nations for the election of 1880,
being held in Portland. It Is also
hoped that the leaders and wire-work-
ers win find way to heal up the quar-
rel that exists between the anti Bush
and the Bush -Thayer wings.
AS to the nominations, there
will be little trouble experienced,
since the controlling of them
has always been matter left entirely
to the leaders Of different sections, be-
tween whom in private caucuses there
is simply bargain and sale in differ
ent positions; but 1t will require the
diplomatic genius of . second Tai
leyrand to heal up the differences be-
tween Bush's wing of the party and
the wing in opposition to Bush -Thay-
er's administration.
There are but few Democrats in Ore.
gon who love Bush, and less that love
Thayer since he became as 80 much
clay in Bush's hands as to allow that
unscrupulous political schemer to
shape the State administration to suit
his peculiar wishes. Then look at the
reputation of the present Governor
and the stencil In the nostrils of all
honesty which his mal-administra.
ton has created! With o party

But at the last election, In the strug-
gle for Governor In this State, when
the strength of the two parties was
most fairly shown, the Democratic
majority was only the insignificant
matter Of 81 votesi To pack Bush
and Thayer then would carry
the majority the other way; to re-
pudiate them would be 10 send Bush
and Thayer back into the ranks of the

would be in his natural element, the

THE GRAIN CROP.

AS Is natural, our farmers at the
present time are anxiously watching
the statements made as to the grain
crops of Europe. There is the mar
ket, and there failure in supplies or
an oyerplus regulate In America the
prices of wheat. The prospect In Eu-
rope Is not 30 fattering this year to
home-consunners rs might be, and the
chances are prices now ruling will in
crease. The reports received by San
Francisco papers (the Chronicle in
cluded) are in effect that there will
be this year foreign demand for
American grain to the full extent OF
the supply. In every one Of the grain
producing countries OF Europe the
wheat harvest has fallen short. In
Roumania and Germany 1t has barely
.approximated to an average yield. In
France, England and Russia the def
cheney has been strongly marked.
Fortunately the crop In the United
States has been so liberal that we
shall be able to supply this deficiency
after satisfying the home demand.
The abundant yield In California
alone will go far toward supplying all
foreign requirements, notwithstand-
ing the almost unprecedented falling
off In the product of the chief wheat
growing countries of Europe, and
Oregon will come in for her full share
Of the profits. Our State may be short
in her crops, but careful reviewer Of
the field now would indicate that
which she has lost by rust will be made
up in increased prices.
And the report even In this county
Of the rust, made before harvest, is
found to have been greatlyexaggerated.
In 1t there was great deal of
smoke and very little fire. Since
threshing began our most intelligent
farmers express the opinion that the
yield of wheat for Douglas county for
the year 1879 will exceed la amount
that Of any former year. What is still
better the wheat sent from this county
this year will be regarded as first-class,
and If justice Is. done credit will be
given our farmers for raising the best
wheat grown in Oregon. This is say
ing much when 1t is considered that
Oregon is the best wheat-growing
State In the Union; but short time
and the proof will be forthcoming.
The truth is, Linn and Lane county
farmers to-day would be ashamed Of
fheir work could they see the plump,
heavy grain grown In the valley Of
the Umpqua-the garden spot Of the
State.

RIGHT AGAIN.

After the lection incorporating the
town of Oakland was held we stated
that the provisions of the charter
gfSsgsed by the Legislature had not |
been obeyed, and that for this reason |
there was no city government organ |
lied. There was bitter opposition to |
this idea, and there followed not only
bitter discussion but an attempt on the
part Of one or two individuals in Oak
land to injure the circulation of this
paper. In the discussion our oppo-
nents were worsted, in the attempt to
injure cur business interests there was
failure, and now Judge Watson
shows in his decision arresting Shupe
and Page that all men must respect
the law and obey Its mandates, and no
one man, even though he be an ex-
merchant and money-lender, can In
suit justice aud thwart Its ends. To-
day there is no city government in
Oakland. and there never can be with
out second Act of the Legislature Of
the State. There remains no trustees,
no recorder, no marshal, no pound,
j no nothing, as evidences Of the at
tempt made to increase local tax
es beyond the fact Of the ar
rest of Shupe and Page for the usurpa-
tion of offices which the people of
Oakland refused at the polls to give
them.
We have q chance here to glorlfy;
but we will not do SO. We never strike
q foe after he has fallen. We only
wish to claim another independent
victory, and urge upon our readers to
remember that while this paper Of
ten conflicts with the expressed opin-
ions of many,it is always correct in its
utterances when it does 30. It matters
not if some go about the county re-
porting stories to its detriment, as
small image of humanity in Gala
pooia precinct has done, to the effect
that he will stop the paper" anu we
care nothing for the opposition shown
US by the ex-merchant and now Shy
lock. We will endeavor to be right,
and heretofore we have been right.
The thought that in three years we
have not been found on the wrong
side of any question is glory enough
for US; and being right now, and the
fact established that we were not
wrong, we pledge ourself to hereafter
endeavor to merit the confidence that
has been placed in the paper, and
eight 1t out on this line If q takes all
Summer If 1t is shown that the
CITIZENS of Oakland desire local self
government in the shape and manner
authorized by an Act of Incorporation,
we will have not one single word to
offer in opposition but our flag will
be nailed to the mast every time one
mans wishes must be the law of a
community, contrary to that COM
munity's wishes, and Shylock must
have his way that he may reap a Pc
cuniary benefit.

ONE AND THE SAME.

It is shame to all honesty that
every attempt of the people to assert
their wishes is met with bitter oppo-
sition on the part of the leaders of po-
litical parties. According to the rule
laid down by the political autocracy,
the people have no rights, but through
political leaders they must find express
sion, and any act upon their part to
be independent of party must be re-
garded as rebellion, to be frowned
down even though both parties are
compelled to throw their own opinions
aside and unite for the time TO defeat
the expression which is nothing more
than righteous assertion of liberty.
Independents should remember this,
and uphold their cause In proporti on
to the opposition 1t meets with at the
commando of partizan leadership. They
should regard party leaders and po-
litical newspapers as one and the
same, and be encouraged in their good
work and independence whenever it Is
found that political newspaper or q
partizan leader makes them a special
object of attack.
These thoughts are not uttered at
random for there is actual proof of
their worth to be found in the history
of Douglas county-that part OF its
history relating to the Republican
lion and the Democratic lamb lying
down together in the campaign In
which the Independents defeated both
parties. There is further proof in the
efforts at the present moment of po-
litical newspapers In this county to re-
vive the old Douglas county ring of
political tricksters, and to carry the
idea that there is nothing left of the
Independent organization.

the latter the full consideration due to
civilized persons, and abolishes all the
former conditions imposed upon their
immigration, which made them no
