Denver, Jan. 20.-A Santa Fe spe-
cial says: Lieut.. Mcdonald who was
arrested last week in chihuahua, has
been released, and has recrossed the
line into New Mexico. The cause Of
his arrest is not definitely known, but
it is thought to be due to a personal diff
hculty. Gen. Mckenzie has sent an Of
fcer south to investigate and should it
appear that the crossing was not war
ranted by the circumstances, Melon
aid will be court martialed. The gen.
eral had given orders to all troops to
not cross the line unless upon an In
dian trail not older than FIVE hours.
A Maysville (Col.) dispatch says that
the Columbus stamp mill eight miles
west of that place, with all Of its con-
tents was totally destroyed by FIRE this
morning. The loss is estimated at
s75 900, partially covered by insurance.
The mill was the property of a New
York and Colorado mining syndicate
company.
Yesterday a freight train on the Den
yer 81 Rio Grande railroad a into the
csboose Of another freight, smashing
three cars and killing Albert Phillips
the fireman, and fatally wounding Con-
ductor Fred Easterly and Brakeman
Timothy Tarney. The accident is said
to be the result of criminal carelessness
of the engineer of the rear train.
The cashiers of all the banks of this
city have signed a card, denying the
statement circulated in the east to the
effect that the Denver 6 Rio Grande
railroad is a heavy borrower of money
of the Denver banks, and stating that
that company does not owe their re-
spective banks a dollar and is not pay
ing them interest on any Indebtedness
whatever.

He said: 1t has often been said that
our jury trials are a farce, and L have
In my practice frequently heard it said
that the jury system ought to be abol-
ished because juries make q mistake;
because they are Influenced by the elo-
quence Of advocates; because they are
Influenced, not by justice, but evidently
by the last address; but, gentlmen, I
thank God that there was a time when
my English ancestors stood up against
wrong and injustice and wrested from
the despot the right Of trial by a jury,
and l have not yet seen the time when
L would wish to see that right abolished.
I feel more secure and more safe In this
mode of administering justice than In
any other. so long as juries are hon.
est. 1t does not require that you should
have read Kent or Blackstone. 1t re-
quires that you should have honest
hearts, clear heads, and above all, that
you should be fearless to find for the
right regardless Of what may come;
regardless Of whether your fellow men
may approve it or not. This is what L
shall expect of you, gentlemen, and L
believe you will do it. 1 leave the cas-
with you, gentlemen, thanking you for
your kind attention.
Corkhill stated that on behalf of the
prosecution he would withdraw all
objection to Guiteau addressing the
jury; that this trial has been long and
expensive, and he did not desire to
give any opportunity for objection upon
which to form a demand for u new trial.
Reed, with some vehemence, main
tanned that the district attorney had
no right to influence the jury by such
i%mputation as he had just expressed
Guiteau: L appreciate this unexpect-
ed courtesy of Corkill, and L don't
wholly agree with Reed, your honor.
Judge Cox stated hat he had decided
to allow the prisoner to speak.
Davidge, who had just come in,
inquired: Is the prisoner to speak, your
honor? II so, 1 would like to inquire
about how much time he will occupy.
Guiteau: 1 shall deliver to the jury
my speech which has been published in
all the newspapers.
Davidge: 1 have not seen it.
Guiteau: Well then 1 would advise
you to get it at once and read it. I
shall want about two hours from your
honor; 1 speak rapidly.
AS Guiteau vas not prepared to speak
to-day the court adjourned until to-
morrow.
Davidge stated that Judge Porter is
in quite feeble health and probably
would be unable to speak before Mon
day.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
court will adjourn at noon tomorrow
until Monday.

THE LESSON OF TIE ELECTION,

THE LESSON OF TIE ELECTION.
Our Republican friends have not vet
recovered their e1aanimity since their
overwhelming defeat. in the November
elections, and are blindly cropping to
ascertain the cause. A majority of the
leading Republican papers, including
the Oregonian, claim that IL was their
handiwork, that the powerful political
TRADES which cmanated from, their Of
fees against tie stalwarts and the bo>s-
ss, was the cause Of the downfall of the.
Grant and Arthur dynasty; that tie
Republican party now purified, as by
fle, of these corrupt elements, will
hencefcrth march to victory. Had the
Democratic victory been confined to
she States Of New York and Pennsyl-
vania, where division of the Republi-
can party alone existed, there might be
some logic in this argument. But
when the voice of the people is unani-
nous throughout the Union, from
Massachusetts, to California, the lesson
Is so plain that he who runs may read.
1t teaches ia unmistakable language
that the people have determined to put
a stop to corruption, extravaganza, the
tyranny Of corporations, the inequality
of taxation, the expressions of pro-
tective tariff, and to reduce the army
of useless federal officials, whose prin-
cipal duty is to carry the elections in
favor of the party in power. 1t teach
Cd that the free people of this Union
have resolved that the government shall
be restored to its original purity Of ad-
ministration, that fidelity and economy
shall be the rule and that civil service
reform shall be fact and not theory.
1t is folly to suppose that this revolu-
tion is directed solely against the
Grant-Arthur wing Of the Republican
party. The same evils existed under
Hayes administration, and would have
existed under Gar6eld's, had it not SO
soon terminated.
For seventeen years the voters of the
Northern States have patiently submit.
ted to these evils, induced thereto part.
ly by promises of reform under each
successive administration, but princi-
pally because they could not make up
their minds to desert the party that
had preserved the Union. The burden
has at last become too great to bear and
the people have turned to the Demo.
cratic party for relief, and SO long as
that party is true to its principles and
professions, so long will 1t remain in
power; whenever it becomes recreant to
its great trust it will be ignom;niously
beaten, as it deserves to be.

PAGE has been defeated in the second
district of California, by 750 majority.
The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1882-11-18


WHILE the next House of Repre-
sentatives will be Democratic by at
least nifty majority, the Senate viii be
Republican by small majority. The
reason Of this is that in every State
where the Republicans have had the
opportunity, they have SO gerrymand-
cred the districts that the voice of the
people is not heard in the Legislature,
and nothing but a revolution such as
took place in New York can possibly
secure the election of O Senator. Con-
necticut is a fair example. At the last
election the Democrats elected the
Governor and three of the four Con-
gressmen, and yet the Legislature is
Republican. This state of affairs,
however, cannot last long.

The Next. Speaker.

AS the Democrats will have the or
ganlzation of the next House of Rep
resentatives, the most important ques-
fion now pending is who will be the
next Speaker. This position is second
only to that of President of the United
States, as by his appointment Of COM
mlttees he can almost entirely control
the legislation of Congress. 1t is not
a little significant that the whole Re
publican press are unanimous in pre-
dieting the election of Randall, oi
Pennsylvania. Mr. Randall has been
q long time in Congress and has been
twice elected Speaker, although he held
opinions on the question of protection
at variance with the National Demo
cratic platform. The sentiment of the
people OF the whole Uuion, as expressed
at the last election, is so decidedly
against the doctrine of protection that
Mr.. Randall, who is undoubtedly a
candidate for Speaker, has allowed him
self to be interviewed. In this state
ment of his position Mr.. Randall is
made to say that he Is in favor of the
entire repeal Of the internal revenue
laws, and that he is now in favor of a
tariff for revenue orly. This eleventh
hour repentance of DIR. Randall will
net convince the Democratic majority
OF his sincerity, or cause them to forget
that TO him, in great measure, was
due the passage of the resolution that
robbed Tilden Of the Presidency.
The next Congress will be composed
largely of new men, thoroughly de-
voted.to Democratic principles and
Democratic methods, who will see that
Congress is SO organized that they will
be carried out. The Speaker will not
come from Pennsylvania, notwith-
standing her glorious victory over the
clan Cameron, but will be selected from
che West. and it is most probable that
the choice will fall upon Carlisle, ol
Kentucky, clear headed, conscientious
Democrat.

The Future OF Douglas County.

From the present outlook, Douglas
county has the most promising future
of any county in the State. With an
extensive area, blessed with an equa5le
climate, with neither the droughts Of
California nor the excessive rains of
Willamette valley, rich soil capable
of producing all the cereals and all
kinds of fruit in abundance, large
stock range peculiarly adapted to the
raising of horses, cattle and sheep, it
only needs the population requisite to
develop its resources to become State
of itself. The Oregon and California
railroad is already extended some forty
miles south of Roseburg, the county
seat, and during the next year will con-
meet us with Jackson county; another
year in addition will give us through
line to San Francisco, and bring us the
much needed Immigration. This, by
no means, includes all our future pros
poets of prosperity. The railroad from
Co.'s bay to Roseburg is now assured,
and it is safe to predict its completion
before through connection is made
with California, overland. When this
is completed, all the transportation of
Lane, Douglas and Jackson counties
will pass TO aud from the ocean by this
route. Our grain can then be put on
sea going vessels for Europe for nearly
half the price that it can now be ship
ped to Portland, and our merchandise
brought from San Francisco at a still
greater margin. A few years more
| and this line will he continued to the
eastern boundary of the State and
,uake the connection with the overland
line to the East. When this event
happens Southern Oregon will be an In
tegral part of the State and not mere
dependency of Portland and the Will
annette valley.

THE MORTGAGE TAX LAW.

The Legislature, during the last ses-
sion, succeeded in passing an amend.
ment to the ass ss,ssment laws, which is
about the only law of any benefit to
the entire State which they enacted
during the session. It's provisions are,
in substance, to the effect that all con-
tracts, whether of mort gage, trust deed,
bond or other instrument by which a
debt is secured by real estate, for tn,
purposes of taxation shall be deemed
an interest in the land to the extent of
the Indebtedness, and subject to taxa
tian IN the county where the land is
situated and made lien against the
land for the payment of the tax.
Nothing can be more just than it's
provisions. The law heretofore pro-
vided hat the debtor should deduct
his Indebtedness from his assessment,
and instead Of the county losing the
tax as heretofore and the city of Port
land gettiug the benefit, or the State
losing it altogether, rs IN many in
stances, it makes the entire real prop
erty of the State bear its just proper
ton of taxation in the county where
the land is situated.
The Portland papers have all been
finding fault with its provisions. The
Oregonian gives vent to the following:
''The granger passed law to catch
the foreign money lender. The princi-
pal man he was after was Mr. William
Reid, who represents cash from Dun
dee. Now the granger will chew the
cud Of bitter reflection when he finds
that the law doesn't touch the man of
Dundee, but ''cinches" all our home
capitalists and bothers the borrowers
to boot.
1t will be seen at a glance that the
man of Dundee, who lives in Portland
and has his capital invested in every
county of the State, whether he bas
heretofore evaded taxation by having
the note and mortgage payable at Dun
dee, Scotland, will, under this law,
have to share in supporting the gov
ernment equally with other persons
whose property receives the protection
of our laws, as it makes the interest
which he owns in the real property for
the security of his claim, subject to
taxation.
Nothing can be more just than that
all property used and operated in a
State should receive equal protection
from and share in the burdens Of sup
porting the government. Whom for
eign capitalists choose to invest their
surplus in our country, it should be on
an equality with others. Knowing
Mr.. Reid to be an intelligent gentle
man, we cannot believe he is the one
to object. True, he is the representa-
tive of a large amount of capital, which
ever true to itself, tries to draw the
largest interest for the amount invest
lei. But we must conclude that the
trouble with the Oregonian and other
papers of Portland, which have been
finding fault with the law, is in corse.
quence of Portland failing to get the
large revenue which it has been rob-
bing the interior counties of for so
many years in consequence of the
exemption of Indebtedness, ard the
capitalists who had loaned the money
residing in that city.
The great burden of supporting the
government rests upon the real estate
and TO good reason exists why it should
not all bear an equal rate, wherever
situated.
