Death of an Old-Time Tree-soiler

ATcH1soN, Kan, Oct. 22.-The Rev.
Pardee Butler, for many years resident
of this place, died here Sunday of injuries
received in training a fractions colt. The
deceased came here as a Christian minister
from England in 1866. Soon after his ar
rival a public meeting was held at which
it was decided that man named Kelly
should leave town because of his pronounced
free-State views. The Rev. Butler de-
cl1ned to sign the position which was passed
whereupon he was seized, placed on raft
composed of two logs, and with loaf of
bread for sustenance set aAoat on the Mis-
souri, river. He was rescued at Port Huron
after a perilous ride and returned to his
home, whereshe lived until his death. He
was a bold and fearless man and soon
earned the respect of those who had pcrse-
cuted him.

To Her Native IIlahee.

On Tuesday evening, Old Eliza,
relict of the old Indian chief Quin-
ably, who departed this life aboutfive
years ago, the result of a too liberal
patronage of the holidays, returned
to this city, the home Of her fathers,
after two years absence at the res
ervation at Grand Ronde.
Mrs. Quinaby is now upwards of
so years of age, it is said, and she
tells very pitiful tale of her condi-
ton. She says she arrived late
Tuesday night, "clatawa camp, halo
fire, halo muckmuck, nika HAS ticke
muckmuck, halo challo sleep next
day sun, halo muckmuck chaco,
nika clatawa, nanege Boston till
Gums, potlach hiyu yaqua sun
muckmuck," pointing to the east.
"Nika HAS ancOty, nika halo till
Gums middlite. Spose nika sick,
halo tillicum chacO, potlach muck
muck, halo chako fire, halo chako
chuck nika HAS wake close squaw.
COpa reservation, halo flour, halo
muckmuck, chako Salem, nanege
Boston tillicum, spose maybe pot
ZACH muckmuck copa nika." All Of
which means that old Eliza has
hard time of it. Nobody to help
her-nothing to eat, and that she is
hard up generally.
Eliza is very bright, even yet, and
could weave a very interesting tale
of early days in Oregon. To the
younger population who never had
the honor Of Quinaby's acquaint-
ance, it is proper to say that he was
a chief of one of the tribes of this
part of the valley-probably the
Chemeketes. Eliza does not like to
be called Mrs. Quinaby. She says
its bad luck for a squaw TO keep her
mans name after he dies. There
fore she is now simply Eliza-Old
Eliza generally.

LAST NIGHTS QUALIFICATION.
Every Republican Man, Woman and
Child Wild With joy, Five
Minute Speeches.

Probably Salem never saw a
crowd of people so full of ofenthusiasm
gathered together before, as centered
at the opera house last night to join
with the democrats in thanking
God that it was no wOrse"-only
from different causes. Chairman
Geo. H. Burnett presided with good
humor and dignity, and after music
by the band, short speeches were the
order. Secretary J. T. Gregg of the
state committee was first called on
to tell Chow it was done,n which he
did in a brief but straight out way.
Hon. John MintO told "why it was
DONE" and he did not give the demo-
Gratis anything to be thankful over
at all. Hon. Edwin II. Hatch, state
senator elect from Polk, told what
was the matter over there, and his
deft turning of a point made against
Corporal Tanner by a democratic
paper of this city, so that it re-
bounded against tour friends, the
enemy pretty hard, brought down
the house. Hon. Chas. B. Moores
told what relation the result held to
him, or he to the result, and how
woolen buttonhole bouquet did not
seem to please some of the victims
of the late "riot.n Hon. VIM. Arm
strong, representative elect from
Marion, told what we should do
with it, now that we had it, and
Prof. M. G. Lane, the "war hoss"
of republicanism. who has stood in
close relationship to a man whom
the republicans love, for a number
of years,-in fact since his birth,
told how good he, and we all feel,
and the program was declared to be
at an end, the audience leaving the
hall, cheering as they went. Several
pieces of music were interspersed
with the speaking, and every tell
ing point was cheered to the echo,
and callfor "three cheers for the
grand old republican party"
brought men, women and everybody
to their feet in a wild hurrah.

The Depot Building.

a JOURNAL reporter, through the
kindness of Mr.. w. a. Gradohl, the
mechanic in charge of the work, was
shown the plans for the new depot
building now under course of
erection i'm this city. II is on the
plan adopted by the Southern
Pacific railroad company, and up to
date, Oregon has no depot building
that is any way near as attractive
as this will be. 1t is - be Of the
Queen Anne style of architecture, a
main building and an l.. Themain
building will be two stories in
height, will contain two waiting
rooms, 20x24 each, and an office l3
feet 6 inches by IA feet 8 inches, with
large bay window the full width Of
the Office, extending to the second
story. The gable is to the east and
west, and will be finished in
shingles, and very fancy. The l.
will contain a room 20x20 for bag
gage. There are two rooms up
stairs. In the rear is a covered
drive way, which will admit the
driving Of passengers right 10 the
depot, and letting them out of cabs
there in the dry, instead Of in the
rain, as heretofore. The building
will be very fancy, and will please
the Salem public real well Work
will be pushed on il as rapidly as
possible.

SPRING IN THE WESTERN STATES
The Season BacNWard---A Glance
at the WOrli Through car
Windows.

I'VE give the following description of the
country passed through on the way to In
dianapoliS, from a delayed letter of Elder
Webb.-EDIToR.l
After a good nights rest we awake
in Illinois, and rise between 5 and 8
o'clock. The soil looks dark and
rich, grass luXuriant. Apple trees
and lilacs are in bloom, the season
being in advance of Minnesota.
Small picturesque lakes are passed,
and large creameries denote the util-
izing OF pasture. Occasionally Usage
orange fences remind one of the
hawthorn hedges that fence old
England's fields. Some land is
marked of for corn, but it is early
for that cereal. Wheat is seen COW
ering the ground amid last years
corn stalks. But few of the large
cribs, usually so prominent in this
region, are noted.
From appearances, Oregon has not
all the muddy roads in the world.
We pass considerable land lying
low, fiat and wet but the prairie,
where cultivated, looks very rich.
The sky is cloudless, but the ground is
as wet with dew as if there had been
a rain. The road bed is smooth and
we glide along at a lively pace. Now
we pass the cemetery where the eX-
ecuted anarchists are buried.
We approach indianapolis rapidly,
and are evidently getting into a
warmer region, for the corn is
planted and coming up well. Wheat
is further advanced, but not equal
to the Willamette valley crops. 1t
looks spotted as though worms had
eaten patches bare. 1t has ragged
look.

Determinations Against Outside Ship

Sample of the Illegal Practices
Railroad Managers Keep
from the Public.

Mr.. Theodore Wright. President of
the Winifrede Coal Company, operating
in Kanawha county, has in the New
York CONNIE rcidl Advertiser the follow
ing open letter to the stock and bond
holders of the Chesapeake Il Ohio Rail
way Company:
GENTLEMEN: Mr.. c. p. Hunting
ton having asked that a receiver be
appointed for your road, upon the
ground that said corporation is in
financial difficulties, it would seem
to me, in view of the increased ton
age business over your road, that a
committee should investigate thor
oughly as to the cause of such sad
state OF affairs. ] do not suppose
to touch upon the numerous COM
plants which | have heard from
time to time from the owners of va
rious industries situated on the line
of your road, but to confine myself
strictly to few facts directly com
ing under my notice. l am Presi-
dent of the Winifrede Coal Com
pany, a corporation having paid
in cash capital of $450,000; owning
10000 acres of land, having some
two hundred houses thereon, and a
population of upward of twelve hun
dred people. / am also President of
the Winifrede Railroad Company, a
corporation having paid in cash
capital of $4,000, owning stand
ard guage railroad of some five and
half miles in length and fully
equipped for business. Neither of
the above corporations has any

Mr.. LAMAR was confirmed for the
Supreme Court last Monday; all the
Republican Senators voting against
the appointment. Let the people
consider, that Republican partizans
are trying to destroy the integrity
of even the Supreme Court. Faux
ner voted with his party: we regret
Kenna was again absent. This was
a most important vote as change
Of only two would have defeated
Lamar. 1t is true Kenna was pair
ed, and perhaps he was unavoidably
absent; but we are sorry he was not
present to exert his influence.
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1888-01-20

insisted that sthere is no inequality:
everybody is treated alike: the ras-
cality that existed in 70 and 81 is
all done away with and will never
be repeated: the coal agency is
abandoned: no official is interested
in shipments, and there is no dis
elimination or favoritism." We say,
let the members of the Legislature
recollect the speeches made last win
ter by the railroad lawyers and rail
road politicians.-and then read
Wright's letter.
We cannot spare more space, at
present, to ventilate this matter.
Indeed those who plumber our peo-
pie have so hindereo our circulation
that it seems almost waste of la
Dor for us to try and arrest the pub
lie ear. But let our friends in
Charleston, and elsewhere, who are
"booming this State" E with prin-
ter's ink, consider whether they
can expect capital to come here
when such condition of things ex,
list as Mr.. Wright exposes. We
claim to be pretty well informed in
these matters, and we believe that
this publication has hurt West Vir
ginia full ten million dollars:-tht
hurt is greater because what he says
IS true, and he does not tell one half

FOR GOVERNOR.


Ex-Supreme Court Judge Moore,
of Mason, is spoken of for Governor.
He is honest, sincere, good speak
err, we'll informed, favorably known,
universally popular, and above all,
is truthful. We believe he is our
most available candidate. Colonel
Chew would be the strongest man
before the people that could be
named. because he has been proml-
nent in all the recent fights in behalf
of the public welfare and has shown
capacity and unselfshness:-he is
not a selfseeker: but Chew refuses
the use of his name: to accept the
office would involve too great a sac
riice of his private business. PROB
ably the railroad politicians expect
TO pack the convention by using
free-passes, and it will require a
canvass of the State TO rouse the
people; Judge Moore, being a man
of wealth and leisure, can afford
this; Chew is a man of wealth, but
not of leisure, and he cannot afford
il; Others are interested in his en-
terprises. All things considered, we
cannot do better than press Moore
into service. This State is in very
precarious condition, and unless our
candidate commands public conf
deuce he will be defeated. We can
not win with a sneak. We cannot
win with liar. Moore is neither.
AS regards the other officers, we
advocate the denomination of Duffy,
Caldwell and Morgan, The Treas
urer should be a man who can re-
deem some important Republican
county like Kanawha, Wood or lay
Tor. The Democratic strongholds
like Jefferson, Greenbrier, DC, will
stand to the rack without fodder.

Certain we'll known gentlemen in
this State have been insisting for
the last fifteen years that law be
passed to prevent those illegal, Sc
cret practices which enrich the in
side management of a railroad, but
paralyze all legitimate enterprise
along the line. 1t has been the chief
stock in trade VI our railroad politi-
clans to decry these gentlemen and
to create a prejudice against them.
They have been carefully excluded
from the Legislature and from every
place which gave opportunity to
fight the battles of the unprotected
masses, while those who truckle for
railroad influence have been promo
ted and crowned with the hOnors
and profits of popular favor. 1t has
become a frequent saying, among
professional managers of politics,
"that it is certain Punishment from
public life, for a sincere man to try
to defend the people from the un-
lawful conduct of railroad man
apers." 1t has become a common
Saving, that to obtain office, you
must stand silent while the public
are plundered."
Time and again have one or the
other of these gentlemen unearthed
and brought to light instances Of
the secret, unlawful practices by
railroad managers which impoyer-
ish our people and paralyze indi-
vidual enterprise, but it invariably
happened that a clamor was raised
to distract public attention and
drown the voice Of those who spoke
the truth and sacrificed themselves
to their duty and to their constitu-
ents. Thus, for example, ID. John
son of Tyler, and c. I. Butler Of
this county, were on the committee,
appointed by the Legislature in
1879, to inquire into determinations
BY railroads. Altho' every railroad
influence was exerted to battle inves-
tigation, yet this committee demon
strated a condition of things which
could not exist single hour, were
the facts understood by the general
public. But their report was ST.
fenced and they were defeated for
reelection. So again in 1881, Will
son was instrumental in proving
even worse condition than that
exhibited by the Johnson-Butler
committee. But his bill to protect
our people was defeated, and the en-
tire railroad lobby combined to pre-
vent his nomination for Governor.
Those who have taken the trouble
to inform themselves on this subject,
know perfectly well that an individ-
ual enterprise cannot succeed, and
that our State cannot prosper unless
we enact a law to compel railroads
to treat every shipper alike. The
body of the people are unanimous
for such a law. No candidate for
the Legislature dare object to it, or
say he will oppose it; and yet for
three consecutive sessions such a
law has been defeated.
At Charleston last winter, Colonel
Chew offered bill which, had it
passed, would have rendered impos-
sible such conduct by the C. & o.
as is shown by Mr.. Wright's letter,
printed elsewhere. Chew's bill was
defeated. The members of the Leg
islature will remember how earnestly
theattorneys and lobby for this road
