EDITOBIAI. FLAPJACKS.
Mrs, James Gordon Bennett died
last Monday in Saxony.
The dickey editor of the Herald
has become famons just as other
poodles gain notoriety t By barking
at the tieels of gentlemen.
Hon. Jas. II. Slater was warmly re
ceived by his friend- aud neighbors of
La Grande. He is one oi the most
popular Representatives Oregon ever
had.
The members ot Congress from
New York City all Democrats-Twin
distribute their extra compensa
tion among the charitable institutions
of that city. '
The Olympia papers are quarreling
jrer their respective editor's claims
to heaven. They had better devote
their time to storing away ice for a
hotter climate.
The La Grande Sentinel comes to
hand considerably enlarged, with a
patent outside. Bro. Bull makes a
good local paper, but we deprecate
the necessity of his Chicago out'ard.
We see the Herald is ro hard np as
to be compelled to publish the same
matter from day to day, as the con
cern is not able to hire type-setters.
Weil, this is some relief to its readers,
anyway.
Capt. Crandall, of the Statesman,
doesn't like onr " Editorial Flapjacks."
Perhaps if they were rolled in "hog
fat" they might more smoothly slip
lown the thoracic channel of the
swine-loving Captain.
The New York Sun gives the
Forty-second Congress a parting kick,
declaring that its entire term "has
been characterized by a series of dis
reputable transactions which have no
parallel in our history." And the
Sun is right.
If the lady. "A. C.."' who advertised
in the tferald to teach French will
call at this office she will hear of a
scholar. Portland JleraJJ, April 2.
If the jackanapes who attempts to
do the pen slashing for the Herald
will learn a proper use of the English
first he will do well.
Discovery has been make of frauds
a a gigantic scale on the Bank of
England, committed by one Warren,
alias Horton, an American, through a
series of skillful forgeries of the names
of Rothschilds and other great finan
cial houses. A reward of 1,000 is
offered for his apprehension.
Look out for the public debt state
meet for April. The telegraph says
the big steal of Congress in voting to
itself an increased salary, is sure to
increase the debt for the current
month. Remember that Grant signed
this thieving bill, which put $100,000
into his already plethoric purse.
Dnring a funeral service in the
Catholic Church at Trenton, X. J.,
hist Monday, a sudden crackinjr ot
some portion of the bnilding caused
the large audience to believe that the
church was falling, and in the panic
created ly this intelligence about 12
persons were crushed to death and
several others badly, hurt.
HOW IT WAS DOE IX NETV HAMP
SHIRE. The Concord (Sew Hampshire)
People, of March 13, comes to hand
overflowing with joy at the election
of the three Democratic Congressmen
and the great reduction of the Repub
lican vote in the "Old Granite State."
It is a matter worthy of note that the
Oregon Holladay tricks were brought
into requsition by the Xew Hamp-;
shire railroad corporations in order to
defeat the will of the people, and the
choice of the Credit Mobilier candi
date for Governor and the election of
a Radical Legislature is wholly at
tributable to that cause. The People,
in giving an account of the manner in
which the election was manipulated
in the city of Concord, says: "In se
crecy and darkness the minions of the
Railroad combination in this State,
visited the employees of the various
railroad corporations, placing in their
hands bogus ballots from a Republi
can Press, and dictating their votes
for Warde,, upon the penalty of dis
cnargejand loss of employment.
This influence wasapparentin every
Ward in the city, and particularly in
Ward C, where a large Railroad vote
was thrown, but was only partially
effective there. Upon statements
made by employees of one of the cor
porations who were unwillingly about
to cast their vote against their convic
tions, the outrage was publicly de
nounced by Samuel B. Page, Esq.,
and the conduct of Anson S. Marshall,
Chairman of the State Committee in
18G8, and others in urging the sup
port of the ticket in caucus and es
saying its defeat at the polls so severe
ly commented upon, that the effect of
the movement in that Ward was in a
measure counteracted. ,
We learn that this villainy was con
cocted at a private meeting held just
before the election by a few individu
als, priacipally railroad .officials, who
were nominally of both political ' par-
In the past it ha been deemed for
the advantage of the party that simi
lar movements, ' inaugurated, and
forced through ly the same . interests
which organized this, should be passed
by. The safety of the party now de
mands that such treachery be exposed,
and the traitors denounced, and we
propose to do justice in this matter
Lereafter." -. .
THIS PORTLAND HERALD..
Referring to the HerolTa transfer
of itself to the embraces of that noted
procurer, Mr. B. Holladay, , tho CVe
gonian and other Republican papers
characterize the transaetion as the sale
of the Democratic early. Now if
our Republican cotcniporaries were
aware of the est i ma to placed upon the
Herald by the Democracy of Oregon
they would certainly refrain from flat
tering the vanity ot the young niau
who boasts in a card that he is respon
sible for that paper's recent defile
ment. The sale of the Herald is of
no political significance other than that
its auuouucemcnt notifies its few Dem
ocratic patrons to discontinue their
subscription, -which they nro doing
with remarkable promptness. Sinco
the retirement of Col. Taylor from
the editorial management of the Her
ald it has rapidly lost casto among
the people, and tho news of its sue
cumbing to tho lust of Holladay ex-!
cited little surprise and less comment.
We would not mislead Mr. Newell
by causing him to overestimate the
injury he has done the Dcmocray of
Oregon or the beuefit ho is likely to
confer upon the Credit Mobilier Ring
in whose services he has enlisted.
His puerile assertion that he has only
redeemed the JTerald from tho grasp
of men who made it their personal or
gan is too transparent to deceive any
one, and nothing but tho first trans
ports of his vanity in becoming "edi
tor in chief" of a city daily could
have prompted such an utterance.
Equally unavailing is his charge that
the Democrat and other tried and
trusted advocates of the Democracy
have been seduced from an honest
support of their principles by favors
Irom any source. Such a chargo is
unworthy, even of tho Herald, in its
present pitiable condition, because it
gives not tho slightest relief to the
author by attracting attention from
his own humiliation and disgrace.
Both parties to the bargain which
made the Herald a Holladay organ
were duped and cheated. The rail
road man doubtless learned during
his recent visit to the National Capi
tol, what is becoming' more evident
every day, that the people have de
termined to reinstate the Democracy
in power; and he made haste to se
cure an organ with a Democratic
record, vainly hoping thereby to give
himself influence where he is now
powerless. If these were the motives
which prompted Holladay to 6ccure
the services of the Herald lie will
soon discover the folly of the enter
prise. On the other hand, if Mr.
Newell dreams that he will find for
tune in the smiles of his new master
he wilt have a bitter awakening.
Holladay loves 'the adulation ol the
sycophants who live upon the crumbs
wnich fall from his sumptuous board,
but he despises the creatures who de
scend to so low a calling, and pays
but a miserable pittance for their ser
vices. Let no Radical exponent of the
Credit Mobilier party draw comfort
from the fact that Mr. Holladay has
succeeded in prostituting what was
once a Democratic journal. His abil
ity to override the will of the people
of Oregon will be weakened rather
than made stronger by his late con
quest. '
A YELPING IS THE RADICAL. K.KX.XEL.
The removal of L. II. Wakefield
from the Portland post office, and the
appointment " of George E. Cole, has
caused an interesting snarl in the Rad
ical kennel of office begging whelps.
Mr. Wakefield is an old-line Republi
can, and a man in every way capable
ot discharging tbe duties of the im
portant office from which be has been
ignominiously ejected, but he has re
fused to join the controling clique in
his party, the members of which de
light in licking the dust from the
boots of Ben. Holladay. Mr. .Cole
never was a Republican, nor does he
claim to be when talking with bis for
mer Democratic associates. Some time
after Holladay came to the State he
employed Cole as one of his retainers,
and assigned him to some duty, the
exact character of which is not gener
ally known. It. was enough for
his old Democratic friends to, know
that he was employed to do
the dirty work tor the railroad ex
tortionist in some department of
that individual's questionable busi
ness. This knowledge was sufficient
to cause honest Democrats to with
hold whatever confidence they may
have hitherto reposed in him. Still,
he would, when he could- secure the
attention of a Democratic listener,
protest the sincerity of bis former po
litical principles with much earnest
ness, and often in tbe most pathetic
terms. Although these facts were
well known to leading Republicans of
the State, and to none better than to
Mr. Mitchell, Holladay's Senator, Mr,
Cole has been appointed to the most
lucrative office ' in the State ' and a
Republican disgraced to make a va
cancy for him. Now we do not wish
to be understood as complaining' of
this action. , We rather like it. , ; It is
so very funny to witness the " wry
faces and listen to the savage snarls of
expectant but disappointed Radical
place-hunters. If it would hot be
considered presumptnons, however,
we would venture to make one sug
gestion to Mr. Holladay. It is sim
pHy this r. When be secures the ap
pointmept of Democrats to office un
der Grant, for heaven's sake let him
select men from a higher 'circle than
that in which George E, Cole floats !

What Mr. Philip Low kanri about tit
Noalhrrn Portion of onr Cowe.iy-rlt
Productions ud Want of 1'raiu porta
lion fcucilltlae, .
Editor Democrat : l i ' "
For the past few weeks I have been
traveling through tho upper part of
Linn and the lower part of Lano
counties in behalf of the farmers'
warehouse enterprise, and am pleased
to say that I met with much encour
agement. I visited Halsey, Harris
burg, Eugene, and even penetrated ns
far up as Springfield, Lano county.
I prepared and read an article before
the Springfield Farmers' Club, which
their President informed me should
be published in the Eugene papers.
In the neighborhood of Springfield I
found as fine a lot of peoplo as I ever
met in my life.
There was no backbiting ; each one
spoke well of his neighbors, and they
all appeared to bo a happy aud con
tented people. While in that part of
the country I made my headquarters
at the house of Oeorgp Egbert, a sen
si.ble, thrifty, good-looking farmer.
Thos. Edwards, a well-to-do farmer
of that part of the county, says the
hope of the country depends on tho
present cnergetio action on tho part
of tho farmers in getting rid of these
middle men, whose anaconda coil is
crushing out the vitality of the coun
try. F. and L. Powers, old acquaint
ances of mine, are ou tho Astoria
move and give it as their opinion that
it is the only hope of tho country. J,
Kelly, president of tho Springfield
Farmers' Club, is an active business
man and universally beloved by his
fellow farmers. Mr. Armitago is a
rustler and says as near ns he can tell,
after going to considerable trouble,
that tho farmers in the forks of tho
Willamette have about 100,000 bush
els of wheat for export. Tho farmers
are all complaining on accouut of want
ol transportation. They have to haul
their wheat a long distance, ferry the
Willamette, and then haul three miles
further to Engene ; ' aud it costs them
23 cents per bushtl to ship it by the
cars half way to the sea-board. They
say they can't feed that elephant at
the rate charged.
The face of the country in the forks
of tho Willamette is something in api
pearaijcc to that of Old Linn, onl
the swales are fewer and deeper, an
Ujere is not half as much waste land;
there is also a splendid outrange
among the undulating bald foot hills.
Providing they had transportation at
reasonable rates, my judgment is that
tbey would raise between 4000,000
ousiieis per annum loit
export. 1 hey ought to have a cheap-j
" rri "ia"H"u",ou w,3n "'
roads. This is the finest country for
canals in the world, not cxcentin5r
Holland. If this situation
Pennsylvania, there would ba
v I
as ID I
Pennsylvania, there would have been
a canal plowed and scraped out long
ago. There ought to be a canal reach
ing from Albany, or near there, to some
point on the Willamette near Spore's
ferry, where the banks of the river
are very low. There is almost a nat
ural channel from the latter point to
the Calapooia near Brownsville, where
a canal could be taken over that creek
very easily by means of an aqueduct,
and from there can be taken any
where down the Willamette valley.
The same can be said of the west
side of the Willamette. There is a
swale running three-fifths of the way
from the mouth of tbe Long Tom
river to Eugene City. By the use of
a dam at Spore's ferry on the McKen
zie, to cause slack water, this canal
could be continued to Springfield, or
anywhere up the Coast, Middle or
McKenzie Forks, affording great fa
cilities for transportation and opening
up the resources of the country.
It it is necessary to build locks, they
would afford an excellent water pow-
er. r rom the junction of the canal
with the Willamete, the river can bo
improved so there can be water trans
portation on it at least ten months in
the year. 'The cost of constructing
a canal here would not be over one-
fourth as much as it would in Penn
sylvania or other Eastern States,
where they have to do nearly all the
work with picks, shovels and wheel
barrows, and also have a great deal of
blasting ; here the major portion can
be ploughed and scraped. In Penn
sylvania I saw an aqueduct that must
have cost as much as the whole of one
of these canals in Linn and Lane
counties (the aqueduct I refer to is in
Lycoming connty, crossing Lycoming
creek ; the piers are all cut stone, and
the flume is about 6 feet deep by ,18
feet wide), and a canal in Oregon is
worth twice as much as oce in Penn
sylvania, for in the : latter State the
canals are locked with ice for at least
five months in the year. Now, you

jVliOCT TO COME TO GllIEF The
Now york Trilune Myt proce'cdings
are to be instituted against Ben. Hol
laday, as PrcsiTlcnt of the O. fc C. R.
R. Co., for alleged fradulent repre
sentations in placing tho Company's
bonds upon tho market, by which he
caused Danby. Morgan & Co., of
New York, and tho Sulzhach Bros.,
of Frankfort, Germany, to negotiate
810,950,000. of its bonds at prices
which netted the company $0,500,000.
President Holladay, it is further as
serted, took a contract from this com
pany to build the railroad at the rate
of about $30,000 a mile. Oo the
proceeds of ale of these bonds, and
portions of the land grant, he built
230 miles, leaving the most difficult
and expensive portion ot the line un
finished. It is further asserted that the Win
ter storms have damaged the road
very much, and that the receipts have
not equalled the amount required for
intf rest. The bonds are quoted at 35
in the Berlin market, and at a recent
meeting of the bondholders a Com
mittee was appointed to be bcrin pro
ceedings against Holladay.
Holladay's 1,'tliputian, of the Herald
intimates that onr new Globe jobj
press has het-n" given us ns a reward j
for entering into a coalition with s-jxe i
LoJy for tome purpose or other who
the coaliiionint are or what llieir ob
ject is the Liliputian doean't say.'
Now if lhat little fellow who profes-1
so to know so much about oar affairs
will please seo those coaliton chaps
and have them pay the California
Type Foundry that small balance of
iioO which we owe on the Globe
press and accompanying material, and
upon which we are paying one per
cent, per month interest, ho will very,
much oblige " these presents." Not
to put too tiuo a point on the matter,
the Holladay sniSer is simply a
falsifier !
