3 per cent interest. Let this sum be
a compensation to the landlords for
the lands which their ancestors seized
from the people of Ireland without
any compensation whatever being
rendered. Let the land tax Of 10 per

landlords, to be substituted for such
rent. ard TO be paid to the State for

necessary, to sacrifice my life."

There is no doubt but the Democracy

His anti railroad record is highly APP

SALARY OF JUDGES.

It is now conceded by all parties that
the salaries of the State judges are too
low, and an effort is being made in
this Legislature to increase them, and
the only question seem to be how it
can be done, since by provision Of
the State constitution their compensa
ton is limited to an annual salary of
two thousand dollars. At the time
the present State constitution was
pessed Sept. 1857 the Territory, now
composing the great State of Oregon,
was thinly inhabited by men who
made their fortunes chiefly by stock
raising, the business of agriculture be-
ing carried on simply for home con-
sumption, and these men constituted
the majority of the convention. They
were anxious to assume State sover-
eighty, but dreaded the expense, and
had very proper fear of law and law
yers. Hence the very stingy provis-
ions in regard to the salaries of judges.
There was another view of the question
hat assisted in keeping dowq all sala-
ries. There were grave doubts as to
whether the constitution would be ac-
cepted by the popular vote of the Ter
ritery and economy was the strong ar
gument used to secure it's adoption
The question Of the inadequacy Of the
pay of all those who fill the State of
fees, and especially the judicial ones,
is not new. Frequent amendments for
this purpose have passed one Legisla-
turo and failed the next, but in 1872
the Legislature passed the act allowing
the Circuit judges one thousand dollars
each for travelling expenses. Several
years passed before some demagogue
discovered that his stock in trade was
economy, and advocated the idea that
the act of 1872 was unconsti tutional.
He took nothing by his discovery, but
it had the effect of prejudicing public
opinion to the extent that when the
Legislature was forced by public opin-
ion TO establish a separate Supreme
Court, in plain violation Of the provis-
ions Of the constitution of the State, it
had the contemplate cowardice of re-
pealing the act of 1872.
The constitution Of Oregon is mod
el of good sense AID terseness as it
now stands, and no new patents should
be engrafted upon it. No new consti
tutional convention is needed for any
purpose, if the provisions of the present
one are faithfully carried out, and the
people of Oregon will SO express them
selves if an opportunity is presented.
If it is leally desired to increase the
salaries of the judges, which undoubt-
edly should be done, it is only neces-
sary for the Legislature to give them
such an allowance as it sees proper for
the incidental expenses, which are not
provided in the cons titution.

BRIBERY.

The attempt of Mitchell and the
Railroad Company to force him on the
Legislature of Oregon is developing
worse state of affairs at Salem than ex-
listed in 1872, when the notorious Ben
Holiday bought up the Legislature
like so many dumb cattle, to secure
his first election. Bob Ford Of Polk
county, last week approached the Hon.
B. F. Nichols and offered him $4,000
to vote for Mitchell, and when the
honest Representative of the people
spurned the bribe and informed on the
briber, he goes before the committee
of the House and swears he intended
it as joke and that Mitchell knew
nothing of the offer. But strange to
say the notorious lobbyist sent for
Nichols and questioned him concern
ing the offer before he had chance to
make the matter public, and sent the
notorious Bill Watkins and Ben Hay
den in a special conveyance to Dallas
to see Ford and fix up the little joke
part of the affair before he could be
called before the committee to testify
to that fimsy story.
Again on the evening of the Goth,
w. A. Waters, Senator from Multi
nomah county and former U. S. Mar
shal for Oregon, approached Hon. A.
n Gilbert, Representative of Ma
rion, at his residence in Salem, and Of
fered him $4,000 in coin and the Sa.
lem postofics if he would vote for
Mitchell and influence some of the
Polk county Republicans to do so.
Waters denies under oath that he
offered Gilbert the $4,000, and Gilbert
swears that he did Waters admits
that he offered him the Salem postoffice
and says it was arranged with Captain
Scott, the present Postmaster at Sa-
lem, that he would resign so that Gil
bert could have been appointed on
Monday, il he had accepted the bribe,
but denies that Mitchell was kno wing
to his nefarious affair. Yet he admits
that he expected himself to be reap
pointed =. s. Marshal, if Mitchell was
elected. AS to the discrepancy be
tween Gilbert and Waters as to
whether the latter offered the former
the money also, we are forced to be-
lieve Gilbert, for person who is base
enough to offer bribe will lie about
it under oath, or claim it was only q
joke.

ed motion for new trial in the case
Of the convicted starroutels, Reredell

for the reason that if there was con-
spiracy to defraud, it was the princi-
pals that should have been convicted
and not the mere tools. The conduct
Of the jury was severely commented

REGISTRY LAW.

Senator Hendricks of Lane, has in
troduced bill amending the election
laws and providing for the registration
of voters. Many of the little Repub-
lican newspapers throughout the State
are commencing to find fault with the
measure. While they are forced to ad-
NIT that it is the best system that can
be devised to prevent frauds at the
polls, they claim that there is no great
political excitement here in Oregon
that renders the law necessary. This
looks as though they desired to keep
the doors open to fraud and imposi-
ton, and the action Of their party on
this measure will demonstrate whether
its members are willing to &c before
the country as an organization welded
to fraud and corruption. Amy attempt
to defeat legislation on this question,
to frame or amend the bill so as to
open the door to frauds, will be viewed
with distrust by the honest people of
the State who believs in free and fair
elections. With the experience that
ether States have had with registration
laws, it repders it a comparatively easy
task to frame bill so as to preclude
the possibility of fraud in the casting
of the ballot, or furnish absolute proof
against the perpetrator, and make it
the sworn duty of the officers of the
law to enforce the penalty against
those guilty of fraud in elections.
The Democratic sect on of Mitch
ellis lobby at Salem during the last
three weeks has been composed of such
eminent citizens as Jim Hendershott,
Ben Hayden, Lafe Lane, Vic Trevitt,
Bill Watkinds, Bill Barnhart, Ben
NOIuGH, 1lSu 0WOIo, OouA I1CIlIy
Smith, and host of their compatriots;
and they have labored necessarily in
company with such eminent and lnf1u-
entail Republicans as Ben Simpson,
George Steel, "Capt." Scott, Pompous
Tuttle, Dave Powell, Bill Sweeney,
Jake Hoffman, John Kelly, and SO on.
The times are out of joint %, cursed
spiteD when this combination Of talent
and patriotism can't elect a Senator.
We are told that Hen Owens, John
Kelly, Bill Watkinds, Ben Simpson
and the rest have about made mp their
minds that the Republican party has
outlived its usefulness. and they mean
to leave it to its fate. But they are
still roosting arohnd the Capitol like
cid buzzards in "aeadening," 10th to
leave the 'noble party when a
juicy carcass is supposed to be about.

Bills have introduced in the Legisla-
ture by Senators Prim of jackson, and
Belieu of Linn, to amend the revenue
law so as to make mortgage interest
in real estate assessable in the county
where the mortgage is recorded. This
is much needed reform and as to the
relative merits Of these bills we are
unable to pass an opinion. No doubt
there are merits in each, as the authors
are both accomplished lawyers and
from the two good law can be
formed. The Legislature cannot be
too careful in framing this bill, as full
ly one third Of the taxable property in
many of the counties will depend upon
it, the most of which is owned by the
concentrated money power that is ever
seeking to evade taxation and escape
its responsibility in supporting the
government, which will ever seek for
the leophole of technicalities to escape
the payment of their taxes
