The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1879-02-21
GREAT PUBLIC DANGER

And stupidity and maliciously persO.
cuted him in every conceivable manner,
even to procuring the enactment of a
special law to fit his particular case.
Great courage and fortitude he has, but
no other special qualification for the
position he occupies as the lead
er of great popular reform and here
is where be cut his figure as the an
cide'a simply of the great political up
heayel which, by the merest accident,
he had been primarily instrumental in
foisting upon the body polite. As a
simple matter of courtesy he is now
permitted to occupy position of seem
ing prominence while his suggestions
are not seriously listened to.
As an example Of the innate weak
ness of the man it is only necessary
to state that Immediately subsequent
to the Constitutional Convention cleo
tion last fall, he was prevailed upon by
an illiterate but designing and cunning
adventurer, by name Carl Brown, TO
place himself in his (Brown's) keeping,
90 to Massachusetts, and raid Ben But
Ier's bank account to the tune of untold
thousands, in consideration of services
in the then pending gubernatorial cam
paign in that State. TIE merest novice
in the histories of living men would
have known that cock-eyed Ben was
the last man on earth to go in quest Of
on such business.
The outlook now is that both the
old parties will be fayed in this State,
not by reason of Kearney's influence
but in spite Of his blunders. The peo-
pie are ripe for change. They argue,
and with good reason, that they have
all to gain and nothing to lose by the
experiment. The Chinese curse, the
hard times and the thieving propensi-
ties and dishonest practice of the pow
ers that be, have SO tried the patience
of voters that they viii not hesitate to
change the "evils they have for the
evils they know not of"

Our Farming Interests.

Every ayocation and profession Is dceply
interested in the success Of the farmers of the
country. They are the life and eoul Of pros
pcrIty in every department Of life, and their
failure to mako good crops affect all other
occupations. 'Tis truo tho mechanic and
manufactures add new and often greater value
to the raw material by their labor, yet with
out the farmer this would be fruitless. From
the soil Is drawn whatever is necessary to the
support Of man and bcnst and every living
thing. Through agriculture ulonc can we
realize these products, and hence it is not
only the source of support to men, but ia also
tho necessary conconitant Of civilization
The true progress and Development of a
people arc best Judged from an observation
of their agricultural advantages and improves
mcrts
Any ono who will reflect on our unte-wor
turning and compare it with that Of to-day.
viii find that agriculture among US has ad-
vanced rapidly in the past ten years, both in
the value Of the products grown and in the
mode Of culture. Our people look more to
remaneratSe crops, by selecting better seed
using more manure and adopting higher
order Of cultivation. Our old and worn out
lands are being reclaimed and in many cases
now yield our best paying crops. The plan
OF cutting down and wearing out has been
abandoned, and in many respects wc as a
people arc on tho highway to wealth and
prosperity. One striking fact Of the present
time is the higher value placed by our people
MI tbo
make their houses more comfortable and at :
tractivc. This costs money, but what two
things are 80 nearly invaluable as education
and 40 attractive home?
1t is trac our people have been lurcd into
debt to some cxtcnt by tho dcluson Of an
inflated currency and corresponding prices.
1t the price Of cotton had continued at
hftcen to eighteen cents, they would have
found no difficulty in paying but its sudden
and large decline few years back left MANY
with debts hanging over them By system
OF economy and prudence they are wipins out
these old demands and in few wears VIC
expect to have n population of thrifty farmers,
free from debt and made wiser by experience.
The farmers this yoar have bright prosr
pect for good crops of all kinds. The severity
of the past winter left the soil in mos, far
vorablc condition for cultivation. The plow.
as 1t seems, not only breaks but pulvcrizcs
the soil, and VIC have never seen it in q better
condition for crop. The spring 40 far bns
been favorable, except part of April, but
March wne so genial that with the industr.
oGs: it more than made up for the vagaries OF
April. Wc think our farmers arc generally
up with their WORK and expect to SEQ the fall
crop highly rcmunerativG. Once getting n
start with ycar's supplies pn hand and
the future will be smooth smiling.

building depot ut Seneca City. AS It now
stands, all freights by way Of tho Air Limo
Road from tho West aud also from the North
arc wagoncd from Seneca or Westminster to
Walhalla, whilo with o depot at Seneca tho
Roads would get tho benefit of these freiehts.
AT present they may not bo romunorative.
but they will increase from year to year.
Another matter Of Importance to Charles
ton Is the completion Of the Blue Ridge Road.
several millions Of dollars havo been expended
on TINS l'no, and more than oil others is it's
completion of interest to our people. Apet
work OF roads have been and arc being built
above US. isolating us and sending through
Georgia and North Carolina by long routes
freight that ought to pass through our State
to the sea coast.
Apart from tho Spartanburg and Ashoville
Road. wo would be as to Western commerce
an inland island, and with it we have far
short of the advantages the Blue Ridge Road
would givo us. 1t is said North Carolina is
preparing to build the road in that State and
our people should meet them, as otherwise
tho road will 60 to Athens to our disadvan.
tage. The Blue Ridge road would give the
long line to Charleston q large amount of
travel and heavy freight and greatly increase
the trade Of that city. We want this road
completed and tho sooner tho better for in
time it will surely be built We want then,
to SEQ the road to Charleston put in thorough
repair, the transit moro rapid and the rreights
so reduced rs to compete with oil other lines
In our last issue wo published an article
from the Atlanta Constitution pointing out
the interest iclt in that city in the completion
Of the Spartanburg and Ashevlle Road, in
order to have n competing limo with the road
from Atlanta to Chattanooga in tho freights
on coal. The completion of the Blue Ridge
Road would be Of more interest to every sec
tion, ms affording tho shortest and best route
to tho West. If the snme company could
buy the South Carolina and Grcenvil Road and
them dad to tho Bluo Ridge Road to Knox
vile, such line would be able to compe,c
with all other Western connections and would
pour annually into Charleston millions of
dollars worth Of frcigh,s.

churches as woll as al public enterprises.
Tho Sentinel strongly favors tho dry ticket as
promotive Of poace and good order as we'll as
conducive to tho educational interosts Of tho
town. These propositions arc clear and we'll
founded, aud wo wish tho Sentinel success in its
advocacy Of the dry side Of tho question. The
little income derived to town from bar
room, unless there be moro than one. or tho
license very high, is moro than expended in
hiring marshal to preserve order. So that
not to speak of tho peace ond good morals Of
tho town. license in point of economy in
small town is q failure. In tho country
license should never bo granted, as the liquor
thus sold. where there are no officers to keep
down difficulties, invariably leads to riots and
ARRAYS, and not unfrcquont'y to homodes.
The course Of the commissioners there and
here in refusing license in ths county, should
therefore meet with universal approval. In
our town We lave licenses granted, but tho
law is so well and rigidly enforced that
drunkenness on the streets is Of rare occur,
