0CJ10CO REVIEW. SATURDAY, .At'OtVT liyjX REDUCING THE HUIU'LVS. - -- Governor Foraker. who just now ll very anxiourabout the result oi j tbe election in Ohio this fall, fear ing that be may not be returned to the comfortable chair in the state Capitol, begs Commissioner Tanner to - not change bis liberal policy toward the veterans until after the gubernatorial contest in Ohio isde- cided. He might as well have put!ooked UP tbe convict's previous J 1 1 . f 1 ' . t 11 p.t.rtrl art) ffmmilnl'ttiil .itK lo Tanner to keep on granting pen s -- a-, . -rr. ' tions to Ohio veterans, regard les of merit, until enough "veterans" in that state "had been made solid for Foraker to insure his re-election. . This is rather a new departure in tate politics for the national treas ury to be depleted in order to keep republican governors in ollice ; but it is only a fair sample of what may be expected so long as such un scrupulous rascals aa Tanner and ' Foraker are allowed access to the public crib. The surplus in the national treas ury is a thing which has been a bone of contention among politi cians for years, and just how to spend it has caused the expendi ture of a vast amount of thought. But Foraker and Tanner have now hit upon the surest, if not the wis est, plan yet adopted. Whenever it is necessary to buy np a few Votes in any doubtful state in order a republican governor shall be elected, just to have Tanner draw on the surplus by pensioning a few thousand "veterans" who will con sider tRemselves duty bound to vote according to the dictates of Tanner i Co. The plan will no doubt work like a charm, for the republican party can make itself most popular, and there is no question but Tan ner can reduce the surplus if he is given plenty of rope. Though it may raise another cry ot "turn the rascals out," like the one raised in 1884, and will have a similar re sult. Beef buyers will find at this Season that this county can turn out a very fine quality of range beef, and this in most any quantity desired. The trouble is, buyers don't pay good enough prices. The first buyers here do not get the pick of the county at all, but usually get below average cattle, from the fact that they seem to desire to buy for little or nothing, and hence get cattle in small bands here and there from persons who are inclined to get rid of them at any price., and after these small lots are taken up, then coine the real beef growers with a better average grade of beef, and they are able to demand fair prices, which thoy always get soon er or later. Crook county can turn out a larger number of beef cattle this season than last, and the beef is of better' quality. The present outlook for prices in the fall is fair, if not better than usual, f he Port land, and Sound markets will be largely supplied with beef from this section the coming fail and winter. The annual sale of beef in this count; has to be looked unon as one of our chief sources of income, u, f e j 1 1 . . ,' ble ot refusing an v request that a And indeed it is an item of no small j wom.. , , " J woman may make, lie is no more proportions. . bees cattle are now ; t!ln ., 1 , , , 1 nil 1 , , tlian aig B.not 011 a log, and the being gathered here for both of the ,,, , ,? - . . , , '. i people ot tahiornia, will do credit above-mentioned markets, at -prices ... 1 i ... . , ' 1 v-'-Mto themselves by removing such a ......... ... 111 imniiiu; Ui liic first tew sales that were made. !

The 'city of Hilleboro has voted a i i as recently pardoned by Governor ' Waterman at the solicitation oft Mrs. Harrison. The man wasserv-j . ing a sentence of .even years iorgery, ana last lan tie composeu 1 a Harrison campaign song, which I .ppeared in a public print aq.il later fell into Mrs. Harrison's hands. lie interested herself in his behalf, Governor Waterman, with the re sult that the man received a par don." . - This is carrying gratitude beyond reasonable houndd, and is reward ing, a benefactor in a way that is dangerous to a community ; besides it is an act which is nothing less than an insult to the people, as well as disregard for the-meaning of tire law. " " ' . ' ' It is all right for Mrs. Harrison to feel grateful to those who aided in placing her husband in the high place he now holds in fact we re-. speet her gratitude in this case, and commend her efforts injiis be half. But the ftcjjon of the govern or merits severe criticism. Regardless of Elliott's assistance in the presidential campaign, by writing a campaign song that hap pened to be in sympathy with tKe victorious party the party with which Waterman affiliates he was a criminal, convicted of a great crime and serving a just sentence, lie had forfeited the right to citi zenship, as the courts had depided. It does not appear that he had any other claim upon executive clemen cy than that he had rendered a po litical -party an incidental service, and for that the law is set aside, and Elliott is given his liberty to prey upon the community as In did before he was sentenced to the penitentiary. Suppose the result had been de ferent, and Harrison had been de feated, where would Elliott be to day? In San Quentin, of course. Or suppose that Mr. Cleveland had been elected, and John P.Irish, who rendered valuable service to the democratic party, had been serving a sentence for murder, or some other crime, and Mrs. Cleve-. land had requested Governor Wat erman to pardon him, 011 the same grounds the governor would have to do so. Or the supposition might be carried further by supposing that John Swift, who was a promi nent figure in ; olitics last fall, ma terially aiding Harrison's cause on this coast, should commit some heinous crime, all that would be necessary to shield him from jus tice would be for Mrs. Harrison to intercede for him, and Waterman would grant him freedom. Snobbery and toadyism are cer tainly gaining a foothold in these United States which assumes dan gerous proportions, and no man in the nation scorns to be worse affect ed by it than the chuckle-headed chief executive of the common wealth of California.

Umatilla county has been visited by a. wave of Kansas grasshoppers which have done a great 'deal of damage by devouring gardens and crops. Last week they visited Pen dleton and fairly filled the stores. The two street cars now in course of construction at Albany are at tracting much attention. The work is said to be excellent and the cost of manufacture far below Eastern prices. . . Win. Crane, an ingenious ma chinist of this city, has invented a new combined header and thresher, which takes the grain standing and places it in the sads. The invent or thinks he has overcome the ob jections to those formerly in use in Ca lifornia. Ihrald-Dkmmmior:' The city council of McMinnvilie has finally decided to take the wa ter from the Yamhill river for city water works, and have advertised for bids for a system of pumping complete, to cost not more than $20,000. The work is to begin by August 20th, and be pushed to completion. The Weston Leader says that on account of the great scarcity of wa ter in and about the Juniper coun try the harvesting outfits a-e expe riencing considering trouble in ob taining a sufficiency for their teams. In several places throughout East ern Oregon there is a great scarcity of water. P. n Meton is experienc ing somewhat of a water famine. Last Monday some Chinai'.ien went to the graves of some of thtir departed dead in tbe cemetery at Salem to leave food for the hungry spirits, and also lighted candles that the spirits might have light to see by. - The candles set the gn ss on fire, and it was with difficulty the flames were extinguished be fore serious damage was done. The Ashland 'Tiding says, that many of the lakes of Klamath county which have never been dry j.jj since tbe first settlement of the! ; v una fuminer. i ne 1 r.i i shortage of the hay crops will make whites, are dry this summer.
