GOV. THAYER's ADMINISTRATION.

The Oregon City Enterprise, g
straight-out republican paper, very
truly says the following of Gov
Thayer's administration. And yet
the democratic organs of the State
are so strongly attached to and in
favor Of the Grover administration
that there is not hardly one that will
even pass deserving favorable com
ment upon the administration OF
Thayer. 1t don't suit them at all,
but Growers manner of organizing
the Offices and rewarding his party
favor1tes suits them better. We be-
lieve in doing honor and justice to a
faithful public servant, no matter
what his political sentiments may be.
The Enterprise says:
''The administration of Gov. Thay-
er is now thing of history. On his
accession to the executive chair he
found the affairs of the State in great
confusion, resulting from the profit
gacy of the preceding administra-
ton. The State was deeply in debt;
its credit was debauched until its
bonds were below par. A board of
political leeches, fostered and fed by
the carelessness or corruption Of his
predecessor had fastened themselves
upon the BODY polite, and were fat
tening at the expense of the State.
The State was paving an enormous
price for the keeping of the insane;
had no asylum OF its own and no
public buildings that were worthy of
the name. He can look back with
over the record of the
past four years. The credit of the
State has been restored and its bonds |
are at a premium. Its floating debt
has been in great part discharged;
he "organized offices" bummers have
oeen cast into outer darkness. The
State now boasts a fine asylum bnit
,heaply and paid for. More than
hat there is now left from the pro-
leeds Of the building enough tax
money to furnish the building and
make it ready for the reception of
he unfortunate occupants. To bring
bout all these desirable results, Gov.
'hayer has labored with an eye
ingle to the public welfare and to
heir accomplishment he has contrib
ted in no small degree. While we
ave had occasion to censnre the mis-
AIKEN clemencY that has marked his
xercise of the pardoning power, can
or compels US to say that in every
ther respect he has deserved we'll of
is country. Vale Gov. Thaver
With all thy faults / love thee

was rebuilt in accordance with law.
Mr.. Billings stated that this certifi-
cate was necessary to enable the COM
pany to borrow money. Secretary
Schurz issued the certificate in the
face of the fact that report was on
file in his department declaring that
the company was not entitled to the
land because of its noncompliance
with the law in building the road.
Thus the company sold its mortgage
bonds on, that land and road when
the road was not completed and there
was no title to the land.
Can you point in the history of
this country to another transaction
of a similar character Was it not
just what was to be expected from
an Administration conceived in fraud
and living in hypocrisy?
In 1881, after Arthur became Pres.
ident, this fifty miles of road was re
examined and accepted. An exam
ination Of the records of the Interior
Department will prove the truth of
what [ have stated, unless they have
been changed within a week. N.

THE CAUCUS.

The idea that once prevailed quite
extensively that the majority of what
would constitute legal political eau.
Gus should govern the actions and
future conduct of the minority even
though the minority steadily and per.
sistently refused and objected to 60
ing into or having anything to do
with the caucus has become repulsive
and thoroughly Objectionable to all
sensible men. Such theory was the
club which was used TO beat the mi
nority around to the support of Grov.
er when they had pledged themselves
before gong to the legislature against
voting tor him under any and all Cir
cumstances. But they gave way to
that kind of bulldozlng to the sacri-
flee of all honor and integrity to their
constituents. That Objectionable the
ory is the most popular among ring
polite ans and those who expect ia
voriteism through the obnoxious and
thoroughly disgusting spoils system.
When any person goes to the legis-
lature he should satisfy himself by
consulting his own conscience that he
Is doing right and then go ahead,
it be to enter the caucus or
stay out of it.

A BILL TO REGULATE TRAFFIC.

A bill to regulate traffic among
common carriers has been introduced
into the Oregon Senate by Glow, of
Polk county. 1t is likely bill with
similar provisions to one introduced
by the same member at the last ses-
sion. If SO, it is a good bill and
should te passed at once. 1t will not
find any opposition from members
who mean honesty to the people. But
if there are any there who owe great
er allegiance to Henry Willard than
to the people, they will oppose it to
the bitter end. 1t may be that one
of the conditions which that Railroad
magnate will require of the legisla-
ture in consideration of his cndow-.
ment to the State University is in
turn for thelegislature not to pass any
such bill to interfere with OF regulate
bis traffic over his several lines
of transportation. 1t may be that he
don't want bill passed to compel
his lines to deliver freight to parties
directed when shipped part way over
his line.

AMERICAN POLITICS.

Those good old days which "w
read about" when men of eminenr'
unbeknown to them, and while en-
gagged in the daily avocations of llf
were Called to fill important posi-
tions of trust to the State and Ma
tion have passed and gone. Now
days the councils of the Nation an6
ofthe States when any important
positions are to be handed around
must be surrounded by several diff
ferent armies of Lobbyist and hangers
on of different sex and species
Every imaginable thing must be re-
sorted to IN order to influence the
actions and tamper with the con-
sciences of men who are elected to
those different bodies to perform
their duties with scrupulous honesty
to their constituents.
When one reflects carefully of the
course and tendency OF American
politics he is involuntarily reminded
of the degenerate procedure of an
cient times when the high positions
of trust in the ancient republics were
bought and sold like ordinary wares
of trade and when the destiny of
whole nations were Influenced by
passion and favoriteism. The lovers
of liberty and of the Republic Of the
United States of America have. hoped
that better results were awaiting
American institutions. But tie
tragedy which was performed over
the person of President Garfield
growing out OF the selfish, unbecom-
ing and disgraceful struggle in the
legislature of New York simply for
power and position and also a fire.
quent repetition of similar occur
rences at the legislatures of other
States causes rejecting American
citizens to hope for a great deal and
expect but little as to the future ofl
American institutions. The session
of the Oregon Legislature at which
Gov. Grover was elected was Ger
tainly burning shame and sdisgrace
to American institutions. Individ-
nal members who were elected TO
that body ander the most solemn
pledges not to vote for Grover under
any circumstances whatever when
they arrived at the capital were the
most earnest supporters he had. The
|nducem ent which led them to SO
sacrifice all principles ofhonesty and
integrity can as we'll be imagined
as expressed. At the present ses-
sion of that body another senator is

hat body is to be besieged by a 7
horde of men and women of all
hades and colors of character to in-|

NEW BILL.

A copy of House bill No. 5, intro
duced to the Legislature by W. P.
Ready from this county, to amend
the present law to provide Board
of Canal Commissioners for the ca
nal and locks at the Willamette
Falls is received. By the bill the
amendment of several different sec
tions of the old law is contemplated.
One of the leading features of it is to
reduce the compensation required
by the old bill for passing freight
from so cts, to 25 cts, per ton. If
1t becomes law it will reduce the
transportation on wheat by way of
the river Z of a cent per bushel.

ENDOWMENT OF STATE UNIVERSITY.

Since the legislature sis. in session
information comes that Henry Willard
is desirous of submitting a proposit-
ion to endow the Oregon State Uni
versity upon certain conditions. Such
proposition coming at this time
and in the manner in which it does
is very significant that something is
far out of sight.
1t is said that the amount of the en-.
dowment, if accepted, will likely be
$4,000. 1t is unknown what favora-
BILE measures this Railroad monopo-
list wants from the present legisla-
ture, but with his Railroad schemes
in Oregon in process of completion
that amount of money would very
likely be small consideration with
which to purchase the favorable ac-
tion OF the legislature. He could en-
dow that institution on the same Safe
plan that he paid the indebtedness
upon it and then afterwards raise the
price of transporting wheat cent
or two per bushel throughout the
valley and make the whole back with |
compound interest in a single year.
If be would take off the extra tariff
when he had regained the amount of
his endowment it would not be sol
bad. But it is safe to say that Mr..
Willard will not give the Oregon
University anything unless he intends
to regain it ten fold 10 some wav. Hell

NEW WAY OF IMPOSING UPON THE GOV

A communication to the New York
Sun of Sept. 7th, contains an account
OF a vilainous way of imposing upon
the government. If true it should be
condemned by every honest citizen,
We give it below as found in the
Sun:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A most re-
markable case of the influence of a
certain railroad corporation upon Carl
Sehur has just been unearthed Tn
October 1880, a commission, at tt G
head of which was Major Clark, Dep.
uty Commissioner of Pensions, was
appointed to examine fifty miles of
the Northern Pacific Railroad inst
finished. and report whether it was
constructed in accordance with law
by one of those mistakes which
sometimes happen in the best of REQ.
nlated families, this commission was
composed of men who honestly dis
charged the duty assigned them. Or
course Carl Schurz never contemnlat-
I'd such action. The:commission ex-l
'mined the road, and December 1880
made. a report, recommending the rel
ection of the fifty miles, because it |
lid not conform in its construction

'om other roads, the bed not being

Mr.. E NJ. Clifford, of the Norway

loving description 20 II Boston Globe
representative as suggesting the special
proprlety Of the points he makes in
favor of the popular article mentioned
below. Mr.. Clifford observes: | am
connected with the Norway iron works,
II Of the largest manufacturing COLI
Germs in the country. There is more
st. Jacobs oil used by tie men i'll the
works than | would like to state, lest
you would put me down as n romanCer.
They use it right along for everything,
and it does its work every time. l
never thought anything advertised in
the papers could take such u hold among
men. You see those who work in hot
iron are constantly receiving hunts in
one way or another, the most common
being burns. 1t takes all the fire out
instantly-not after continued a,plica-
tiOns-but instantly. Therefore you
will at once perceive that it IS an inval-
liable remedy to men who are constant
ly having their flesh singed by red hot
iron. On, yes, many have used it in
rheumatic affections, and | have yet to
hear the first Ia say it failed to give
relief. They keep it in their families
too, ard all swear by it. At the works
the men club in and buy it and place
1t in the hands of the carpenter, who
dispenses IL when occasion requires.
There is seldom a day when it is not
called for. All use it. You must I'M
derstand hat a cut from a hot iron is
not like n slash from a knife or any
other cold Instrument. The iron not
only cuts, but it destroys the tissues,
and leaves a CHASTITY quivering wound
exposed to the air, and a fainting, ago
nlzed wretch wriJhiug with pain. Many
Il time | have seen a poor fellow thus
situated soothed and relieved by the
st. Jacobs oil As if by magic. Only the
other day a boy got frightfully cut with
a piece of hot wire rod while at work.
The wound was a very bad one. He
suffered intensely, and was fainting
with pain. AS Dol as possible a bot
tie Of st. Jacobs oil was brought from
the carpenters closet, and the wonder
full liquid WAS poured into the wound,
which WAS in the calf of the leg. The
relief was immediate, and the boy went
to work Il short time afterwsrd, appar-
entity uumindful of what other Use
would have undoubtedly laid him up.
