That's good advice Ight from Mr. Blakeley 'a home. A New York concern wishes to know who the twelve moat prominent Oregon ians are. The Dshocrat gave it the official list.- It doesn't make much difference what our state flower is; but the Oregon grape always did stick in our throat. Give us something else. There is no more interesting senator ial contest tban that tn Lane county, be tween E. P. Skipworth, democrat ; Bak er, populist, and Driver republican. Just two Oregon papers continue to publish the Foster forecasts, notwith standing they know it affects our nerves. Those forecasts have too cj clonic a sound to them. The Salem papers seem to be having a pretty quiet campaign. Two are ou the asms side, and the other is independent and doesn't seem to care. Even Tongue cannot straddle as far as Mr. McKinley on the financial question la fact Mr. Tongue is a pretty good gold bug, with a little bait t.irown out occa sioually to the silver voter. Mr. Mark Peerv is ail right. Those knowing him will vonch for bis more than ordinary ability. Be wonld make a 6rst c'ass county recorder. This is tact regardless of polities.

We are getting tbe weather charge and ex pect the other change in a few weeks. A great many people imagine that the bicycle is of ?ery modern origin, bot this is an egregious mistake. Bible scholars know fnli well that tbe bicycle was in nse !ong before the ehrist'an era. Every one should be a bible student, but every one is not. Therefore if you belong In the latter class, bnut op a bible. You may find one eotnewbrre about tbe boose. Now dost it off care fully, disperse tbe cobwebs and torn to the thirteenth Terse of the eighty-third psalm. Then you will see that David himself must have ridden a wheel. Ex. The national deficit this year nnder the Wilson bill will be a boot '20,000,000. But for republican extravagance it would be the other way. Every effort possible baa been made to keep the ex penses above :h reo ipts. Whereas they could easily be f20.000.000 to f5O.O00.tt :0 less without mucb economy. Tbe ides of crying for more piotection vita a tariff now SO per cent on an average above the cost of labor in production, is simply ridiculous an 4 but little discernment is needed to know the cry is simply for po litical effect. A Great Failure. Men who think republicans ought to run everything should consider tne clos ing congress. A Washington writer says: There are times when the impartial observer is half forced to tbe conclusion that government by congress is a mis take. This appears to be one of the times. If tbe present congress has con ferred any particular good unon the country tbe man who has discovered it ought to come forward and relieve the suspense by pointing it out. Dissolution will come about the end of May, after six months of wabbling about in an orgy of declamation and a famine of legisla tion. It was predicted when congress met that the sum total of its record could be described in half a dozen words "passed the appropriation bills and adjourned" and that prediction is fast being verified. With the single excep tion of the appropriation for tbe Vene suelau commission, nothing that con gress Las done in the line of foreign affairs has amounted to anything at all. Its meddling with the Cuban question has unquestionably done more harm thsn irood. It has failed to accomplish anything in tbe d'reciion ol raising nio.'e revenue for the government, it has done nothing to aid tbe president in maintain ing tbe gold reserve, it has neglected sucb important matters as tbe Nicara gua canal, the irrigation of arid lands in tbe west, the abuse of the bonding priv ilege by Canadian railroads, tbe refund ing of the Pacific railway debt, provision for adequate coast defense, new legisla tion to strengthen the bands of the In terstate commerce' commissioners under recent decisions of ths supreme court. . Probably this congress will live in history as '"tin useless congress." It bas even been a failure in the one field in which it prided itself on its heroism, in tbe one thing which its leader in the lower branch set out for with alt the im petuosity of his nature. It has failed to cut the approprlatious down to notch hieh might g'.ve it credit for economy. Without any doubt the appropriations which the nxt session will have to i -i. .1 . .1 ai. make wi I catrr the total for the fifty-1 fourth consress far above the billion do!- larmark.

The Sheriffs Charges. The people of Linn cyuaty are not so much Interested In an Indictment made falselyovfatSl yeartago and which came to naught as they are in the official career of the present sheriff who offers himsell for re-election. In dealing ith this matter neither slander nor ridicule! should be indulged In, but a plain state ment of facts. TLe question is has J . A. McFeron been honest or dishonest in tits periormance of his trust an sheriff? It baa been distinctly alleged that sheriff McFeron has collected money from Linn county to which be has no lawful claim, under section 2311, of Hill's code. It is one thing to be accused of a thing and quite another thing to be guilty of the charge. We do not hesitate to ssy that it is our opinion that from the records of Linn county Sheriff McFeron ii liable to indictment for collecting and appropriating to his two use the money of the tax payers of Linn county, for Violation of said section 2341. Al though as sheriff ol this county he took an oath to support the laws of this state, he has in oar opinion deliberately vio lated section 2341 of Vol. 2. of Hill's Annotated Laws of Oregon. Upon this propositicn would the sheriff not have to plead guilty? Now, Sheriff McFeron, what excuse have you to offer the peo ple of Linn county for unlawfully col lecting and retaining money from Linn county and its tax payers in violation of said section 2311 T The taxpayers should tee to it that every dollar illegal ly collected from them be recovered. If a man will deliberately take the people's money in plain violation ollaw, be is neither suitable for an officer nor a citizen. Is Sheriff McFeron guilty? This is no false accusation of something over 23 years ago, but if true is a plain violation of law, of which there is no excuse. The supreme court Lbs. decided that the county is not liable for the fees of any officer unless provided by plain statute, yet Sheriff McFeron, aUboogb taking an oa'.h to support the law, baa repeatedly placed Items acd chairs in bis accounts again?; the county for which there is no law for nis claiming or charging. Now let Mr. McFeron meet these charges. Let people Interested in a sheriff, look op the record and bills against Linn county, as charged aud col lected by Sheriff McFeron. u is not whetner ine cost ot running Linn county bas been less during the last two years nnder the salary law, tbe questioo is has tbers been money unlaw fully taken by its sheriff? Has the tax psyer been niada to pay aelawfnl claims daring tbe last two vai? Tbe re cords shown that MrFeron has claimed and been paid fees to which nnder said section 2311. and nnder tbe salary law in force since Joly 1894 he bas no legal right. With wlat grace can one who has unlawfully in his pockets the money of t!ie taxpayers of Linn county atk for their support? The sec'.too of the stat ute which we think Sheriff MrFron has violated, is said section 2341 herein be fore referred to, and tbe iaw f jr an (E cer illegally charging or taking fees is as provided in sertioo IS52, Vol. 1, of iltil's code, and rtads as follows: '-'Sec. lSi2. U any otneer ol this state, or ol any county, town, or other municipal or pub lic corporation therein, shell wilfully and knovincly charge, take, or receive j any fee QfjDompensation, other than that j authorised or permitted by law, for any official service or duty performed by such officer, such officer, upon convic tion thereof shall be punished bj im prisonment iu ti.e penitentiary not lees than six months nor more than one year, or by imprisonment in the coanty jaii, etc" Tbe question is not what might have been falsely charged against Mr Blakely more than twenty years ago, but the tax-pa jrers have the right to know whether McFeron baa tbe tax-pavers money in bia poseessijn to which hs is not legally entitled. He bas we understand confessed to charging and collecting at tbe rate of five dollars per week tor county prisoners where there were over four, and in sucb cateathelaw only allows three dollar per week. Uu charges for prisoners during the month of October, 1SS5 aa at tbe rate of eeveoty-one aod three seventh eents per day the one item of board beioK MW. The boarJ at lawful rate woild Lave been many dollars less. This occurred repeatedly. No XicFeion by what law did you acquire theee extra sums cn tbe item for October, 1S95, and other months? Do you pretend that any ooe can authorize you to violate the plain statutes of this state? By what authority are you holding that money and other moneys acquired io a similar way in your pocket? That money in our opinion belongs to the tax-paers of Linn county. Your friends be tbey re publicans or democrats cannot uphold you in sucb work, far no good citizen nay even a brother-cannot an J will not uphold you in the flsgaut violation of the law as it appears from the records that you have been guilty in this case The county court could not give you legsl nor any authority to charge and collect the bills you did on the items of board as charged by you for the month ol Oarober, 185, aod other months. The county court allowing your bill could not legalize it. Th j legislature makes law. Tbe county court is held to a strict com pliance with the statut, and he su preme couit of Oregon has held that an officer cannot legally charge and sake fee which he is not entitled to under the statute. And in the 10 Oregon, psge 97, the supreme court says: "Ignorance of the law excuses no one, least of all so officer, for having undertaken to perform the duties of bia office, he must know aod perform them at his peril." "The rule is inflexible that sn officer can de mand only sucb feet as the law has fixed and authorised for the performance t! public duties." So says the supreme court the highest authority In this state. Now Mr McFeron will yoa volutitsrilv efund the money to the county treasc ry ? The public demand that you do so. This is written in a spirit of rirnese,and with tbe object that public justice may be done. No malice or wrong is in tended you, and you have plenty of time before election to disprove these things said about your publio official career if tbey be false. The public have tbe lesal right to discuss your public career. Tbe tax -payers should know the part you have taken In making the publio reo rd during tbe lest two yesrs and have the legal right to demand that the moneys vou have taken io vio'ation of said sec., 2341, be paid and refunded by you to the county treasury.

Folitics, cyclones, etc. Revivals; Some lost flags No printers there. At the end of this week politics in Oregon are fairly blazing, the Cuban sit. nation remains in statu quo; approxi mately ditto in Southern Africa; a cy clone struck Nebraska; a gold strike is reported at Anldeui, and a cold wave struck Huntington's haibor deal, be sides industrial strikes of a small order through several eastern cities. The first week of a six weeks revival at the opera house Is about gone. It takes all kinds of revivals to reach the people from the nightly meetings of the Salva tion Army to a Moody meeting. While one evangelist seeks to draw by his sen sationalism and the stirring of people up generally, another will lake a sober, lofty style, staging closely to the text Then ttiere are varying degrees between them. Take your choice. But really does the Sam Jones style seem the consistent one. There was no Sim Jones about the Great Ex ample: But it is possible the end jus tifies the means and that Sam gts enough into tbe right path to justify his murdering of the English language and his unique descriptions. Have you seen a couple American flags du'ing the week. On account ol the ap proach of decoration day they are want ed, or some sag xd. At the Tom Tongue convention in this city they were bor rowed for use in decoratiog the stage but since then nothicg can be learned of them. A profound mystery seems to envelope their disappearance. Who got them? Did soma delegate take them away? Wbere are they anyway. The G A R boa very naturally are considers bly exorcised over their Iocs, and it looks this Saturday night very much as if the local congressional jouiuiUtee would be out $19, for the ovneis ofhe flag arson their trail and proposa to keep on the trick until they secure new flags or the old ones. Peop'e who think tbe printing office is a bi place for morals will please read the folio ion: "A printing office is coo- tidered ty some folks a tough place, and the newspaper worker a mighty bad man. Statistics, however, do not bear cut that idea. Of S.K) convicts of the Slate Pen itentiary of Texas there is not a printer 6 a 'newspaper man, USe there are miois'.e n, doctors, bankers, barbers, photographers, barkeepers, cyki and members of professions aod callings The printer gets a bad name because tbe na ture of bis busioeta teaches him to de test bams, aod he scorns the hypocrite, says an exchange. Wasitlniftoti Letter. Piua mr taa-aW Camfcmml. JVasaisoTOS. May lllh. 196. That President Cleveland has it in tie power to npset the eampaign plan of tbe republicans was fully shon by the con sternation among them over a rumor that President Cleveland proposed to is sue a proclamation call'ng an extra sea sion rf coogieMion, to censider financial legislation. If President CeveUnd real ly ir.tet.ded to taVe sorb artit., be wouldn't be likely to tak about it no. 15 at even if nothing more was accom plished an extra sessioa would compel tLe republicans to come forward ilh a definite financial plan io advance of the presidential election, or acknowledge their inability to agree opon ooe. and io either ca the democrats son J neces sarily be tbe gainers. After oaenltatioa with President Cleveland, Secretary Olner notified tbe peaUh authorities (hat tbe men cap tured on the recent fi Hi bonier expedi tion to Cuba who claim to be American citizens, aod who have been sentenced to dealb by a Spanish court in Cuba, must not be executed before Ibis government has lolly investigated their claims to ciuxinsbip, aod their eutlt. oacu men as cnatore tirice ana jor- man men w iio never aii' their hopes and wishes to warp their j-idaient. are satisfied that tbe nominal n o! Mrfvio ley by tbe republicans will give the dem ocrats more tban a flatting chance to elect the next president, and McJCioley s nomination is noar regard! as certain as aoything not yet absolute! accomplished can be. Consequently tVre is a lively sprucing op among democrat, and a quiet bat strong movement loosing towards party unity at the Chicago con vection bas been started. Upon the success of tnis movement largely depends party success next November, as it is only by ouitr that the parly can possi bly win. This movement hasn't got down to details yet. It only seeks to impress upon tbe mind of every demo crat tbe necessity for the minority oi tbe national convention to loyally support the decision ot tbe majority, leaving do . tails to be worked out later. Secretary Herbert has'issued an order directing that all results of the testing nf armor plates an 1 guns for the navy shall be kvp'- a secret. This action has oeen taken because European govern ments bave declined to allow us to know the result of similar tests made by them, although we have allowed their officers to be present at those made br this gov ernment. The McKnleyitei scent danger to their id l from the on isually early date which Chairman Carter h ts set for the meeting of the Republican National Committee, to settle the various con tests for seats in the St. Louis conven tion. They know the national commit tee is strongly opposed to McKinley and they fear that It will oie all its poaer against i.itn, and they have good grounds for their lear. The only thing that will prevent au overwhelming majority of the committee from trying to sidetrack t ie McKinley boom will be the knowledge that he can win in spits of them. Tnst they do not believe now, but they mvr change their miada before the commit tee meets, Whether McKinley wins or looses, the fight now going on for and against him is daily adding to democrat ic chances for winning the national ele tion. The republican House capped the cli max ol Mi's do-nothing-but-pas.extra-Ygant-ap,)ropriation-billa session by voting $1200 a year to each member for clerk hire. Even if the member really paid this monev to clerks for assisting them this would hnve beun ac unjust ifiable extravagance, but it is well known that many of the members have pocket ed all or a greater part of ths t!00-a month allowed them during the sessions of congress for several years past, get ting what olerlc-at assistance they needed for their a Ives, their children or from some constituent they had pat in'o some small place around the capital and be lieved that they will continue to pocket the increased sum . For Pills and Planters Dawson Voters are sawing wood right along but thinking deeply on the part that the republicans came into, power in this oounty under a most solemn pledge that couuty expenses should be reduced. Now, how has that pledge been made good? -It has not been made giod at all, but on the contrary has ben openly bro ken. And still they coitinne to reflect npon their broken pledges. Tbe manoer in which tl.e Brownsville Times, an independent paper support Mr Blakely for sheriff is a good evidence of hit standing at home. The big vote hv) will seenre tbeie will be a very rtii phstlc endorsement of him . The man who refuses to inaks needed iiDprovetm-Dts because times are hard helps to keep times hard. Every added piece of work gives employment to more men and helps to restore confidence. Tbe business men of First street should put cement gutters along the street Tbe cost would be tmatl compared- with the benefit. The last legislature simplified tbe method of designating tbe candidates the elector wishes to vote for nnder the Australian ballot la sr. Inst jad of eras ing all the names except the ones he votes lot, lbs elector simply place so X in the space between tbe number and the name of the candidate voted for. All other names are left blank.
