TwO MORE ExCELLKxr APPOINTMENTS,

On last Saturday President Cleveland
appointed Hon. A. C. Jones, of Rose
burg, Receiver of Public Moneys in the
United States land Office at that place.
Mr.. Jones was former resident of this
city, where he is we'll and favorably
kaown. He served one term as Coun-
ty Clerk of this county, and made hosts
of friends. Mr. Jones was one of the
Democratic candidates for presidential
elscto- last fall and canvassed the state,
10 part, in the interest of ClevelAud's
election. This is just recognition OF
his life long devotion to the principles
os the party.
The President also appointed Hon.
VIM. N. Townsend, editor and proprie-
tor of the lafayette Register, to be Re
reiver of Public Moneys ct the United
States land Office at Lakeview. Mr..
Townsend is honest, competeat and
purely Democratic.
The devotion of these gentlemen to
the principles of the party during its
long days of adversely entitle them to
this recognition. We extend congrat-
ulatious.

A sta)wart organ of the Republican
party says: "In the sixteen states of
the South there are no elections-only
count. Even now their one hundred
and iifty.three electoral votes are count
ed for 1888, and no contest for them
will be permitted" A man who truly
loves his country, truth and right, will
not utter such statements. A man who
truly and earnestly desires to see good
feeling and harmony restored between
the North and South win not give ex-
preston to statements so entirely desti-
tute and devoid Of truth. But on the
contrary q man who seeks to SOW the
seeds of discord, strife and civil war
would say exactly what the organ above
referred to SAYS. The man who would
now attempt to plunge the country in
to civil strife by laying before the peo-
pie such anfounded and inexcusable
charges against the honesty and integ-
rity of over twonty millions OF people
can have love OF regard for neither
truth, country or humanity. There il
just as much reason for saying there are
NJ elections-only count-in Illinois
~ in Missouri in Iowa as In ken-
lucky in Rhode Island ss in Dele
ware in Maine as in Virginia in
Colorado as in West Virginia in Ore
gon as in Florida in Wisconsin as in
Tennessee in Michigan as In Texas /;
in Ohio as in Mississippi, and every
intelligent person knows it. No, there
is q well grounded conviction 10 the
minds of many Republican leaders that
the only hope OF restoration of their
party to power lies 10 a very free use
of the bloody shirt. They cling to the
belief that in appealing to the passions
and bitter prejudices of the past they
can 80 arouse the aninosities formerly
existing between the North and South
IS to solidify political sentiment in the
North and thus place them in power
again. But this will not succeed. The
people in mass are utterly disgustej
with the course of those who would
continually stir up discord and hatred,
and will place the seal of condemnation
% emphatically upon those who at.
tempt it, that no one again will dare to
propose to make it the issue in cam
paien.

A bill was introduced at the last
session of the legislature which pro-
vided that when one or more persons
should place 800 tons or more OF
freight at ary one point on any rail-
road in the state and should grade
and lay ties for switch or side track
to reach said freight in order that
1t might be shipped, then it shoald
be the duty of the owners of such
railroad to furnish the rails aud lay
such track. Some parties in Jackson
county began to provide some time
ago for euch a side track when they
were informed by Mr.. Kohler that
such bill did not Dass. Then appli-
cation was made at Salem to the
State officials who informed the
Jackson county parties that the bill
did not pass.
Now, Hon. J. T. Beall who intro
duced the bill informs a Roseburg
paper that he has been at Salem and
that his bill did pass and that it is all
right. Parties in this county have
made inquiries lately Of US about
whether this bill passed and on the
strength Of what state official said
we informed the parties that the bill
did not pass. Now, our inquireing

SIGNIFICANT.
paign.

It is rather significant that all the
republican papers in the state favorable
to Mitchell, are speaking out more
boldly, week by week, in favor of hav-
ing an extra session of the legislature
True, mcst of them give as a reason for
calling an extra session that it is desiT-
able to have legislative work cleaned
up, but every intelligent person knows
this Is q mere sabterfuge, the real reA-
son icing the desire to elect Senator.
It is whispered around among Mitchell
men that the legislature would not be
in session two days until Mitchell would
be elected. There has been, during
the last month, much activity among
republican leaders making attempts to
decide upon some line Of policy to rec
ommend to the governor, aud while
this has been going on the friends of
Mitchell are said TO have been very
busy in maturing plans to secure his
election. How they will succeed no
one can foretell, but every one who has
closely watched the drift of sentiment
and feeling towards Mr.. Mitchell in
this state during the last few months,
will be forced to admit that he is grow
ing stronger and stronger among the
people, and this growing popularity is
not confined to the republican party
alone, but it is found among all classes
and all parties. If special session be
called we shall look to see Mr.. Mitchell
a prominent figure in the senatorial con-
test.

WILL THEY :

The reading public has not for
gotten that during the last presiden.
tial campaign Il was q favorite argu-
ment with a certain class OF divines
and other very good men TO urge the
defeat of Cleveland on the ground
that if he should be elected the bar
barous practices of Mormonism would
go unpunished, If they did not re-
eeiye direct encouragement and SYM
pathy. Well, Cleveland was elected
despite these ministerial warnings,
and has now been in Office nearly
three months, and during that short
period more has been done TO suppress
Mormonism than was ever done un-
der republican rule for twenty years.
It would simply be doing justice to
the democratic party and to Cleve-
land II. these divines and good men
would now come forward and tell the
people in as plain and as forcible 3
way that they were entirely Ignorant
of the purposes of the democratic
party, or that they wilIfully and pur-
posely slandered them. But will
they do this ? We think not, but on
the contrary, will be ready in the
next campaign to engage in some
other SANDER equally as untenable'
But the intelligent portion OF the
public has long since learned to dis
tinguish this class OF babbling polite
ians from men of candor and truth
and hence they are powerless to dc
evil.
