C, correspondent under dato of October 11, and throws an Interesting light upon Congressman Hawloy's claims: "In referncco to the opposition to Hawley which you aro voicing every day with spirit and effectiveness, I am afraid therel s a fundamental weakness In making tho concession to Hawloy's "Pork barrel" successes, for, as a matter of cool truth, Hawley has not been and never will be a buc cesa as a picker of pork from our Undo Samuel's barrel. For Instance, at the last session he got absolutely nothing of bis own effort If you will examine the records, you will see that practically all of tho appro priations gotten for Oregon were pro cured by Bourne and Chamberlain, and both of them pursued a course of Independence, coming from the ses sion with open hostility on the part of tho senato and house bosses. Of course I followed the development of tho session day by day, and event by event, and know of many things that never got to the public confiden tially communicated to me. I saw correspondence that proves, and watched ovents with InUmate knowl edgo that confirm, tho theory that Hawley and Ellis, too, for that mat ter, got nothing for Oregon. "Why? Those political bosses, ouch as Cannon and Aldrlch, know human nature well, and when a man comes to tho congress In either house they "size up" the recruit with ac curacy in estimating his component elements. Such men as Hawley they soon see are "easy" hence they aay to each ether: "This fellow has not tho nerve to make us "come across." Wo can handle him. Ho won't make us divide the swag." And, forthwith, they list him as among tho "eaBy marks" and seldom mistake. "Tbatl e precisely what they did in Hawloy's case. So that the record reveals that Hawley got nothing that would not havo como through ar rangements previously mado In for mer congresses. Tho biggest thing in Hawley's political Ufo that prom ised good or 111 was tho Wlllametto river locks. Ho told hla people In tho FIrBt district that ho would get an expropriation for their opening. In a largo degree he was elected upon that issue. Ho got no dollar for It. The hill passed tho houso without tho mention of it; it wont to tho sen ato, and thoro Dourno got tho appro priation of ?300,000 Into the bill. Then tho bill wont to conference that Is, It having been amended, a committeo from Bonato and houso conferred as to its final form. Even after Bourne had gotten the item Into tho bill, after Hawley failed to get It thoro, Hawley could not hold it, and tho houso conforeos declared that It must go out. Finally, influence was exerted from tho Benato end on tho houso members of tho conference commlttoo, and tho Item was retain ed. But, so far from getting tho appropriation was Hawley thut ho al most lost it in conference after it had heon gotten Into tho bill at the senate end. In thU work, too, Cham berlain had his full part, for bo took caro of tho Item with democratic members, with whom ho has develop ed a standing and influence second to none in tho senate. It was tho two senators who got that Item in tho bill, and for Hawloy to suggest that he got it Is manifestly dishonest I una that word with duo regard for its "The continued delayxon ... Every article in this entire MAN'S VIEW grave significance, too. "Tho same sort of dishonesty was manifest when Hawley permitted It to bo understood In Oregon that ho got tho appropriation for tho addi tional lands for tho Chemawa In dian school ct Salem. It Lj simply a falsificat'jn, puro and unadulter ated, for him to permit such a claim to be made in his behalf. Chamber lain arranged for that appropriation on his own initiative, and hnd it clinched before Hawley even knew of it as a proposal. It was, as a mat ter of fact, a surprise to him when announced as nn accomplished thing. How in commou honesty can a man claim credit for such an appropria tion when he hud no knowledge of its pendency before it hud been achieved? "Again, Oregon's claim against tho federal government fpr war expenses was gotten into the bill at tho sen ate end by the combined efforts of tho two senators. Hawley, instead of getting it into the bill, on the con trary, scoujied tho allegation 'which was made in tho Washington corre spondence of Ihe Portland Journal that the proper method was to got it into either the sundry civil or the de ficiencv bill, and his position was supported by former Senator Fulton They argued that there was no pre cedent for such action. The same correspondence branded false by Fulton in an- interview wns shown to be correct, for the appropriation of mnnv millions for exactly the same sort of claims in deficiency bills was shown to have been made for yenrs past. "Tim cool truth is, apart from n very few insignificant items, such as transfer of funds of a few thousand dollars for harbor work, or such small bits of adjustment as a clerk could accomplish. Ilawlev did not get 'pork' for the first congressional dis trict of Oregon. Yet he obeyed the slightest behest of Cannon, voted "er straight' with the old-line bosses, and upon no occasion joined with the nervy insurgents who went up against the real thing and finally clipped Cannon's wings. He has tin standing among the insurgents or progressives, who remember that, when they needed him, he refused to come to their aid; and they will not care for his present attitude or pre tended hostility to tho Cannonitcs, foMhey have got tho 'old man' beat en to a frnzzle, anyway, and tho Hawloys and such, who go against Cannon after he has been beaten, will huve no prestige with the new ordor that is coming in. "Remember, too, that that now or der is actually coming into powor in national politics. The progressives are to boss tho job. I never wit nessed such marvelous changes os took plnco in this villago during the summer. Coming buck from a vaca tion, one found that progressives wero popular. When I wont nwa, earlier in tho soason, tho prevailini thought hero was pity, hured or in difference toward tho progressives Tho summer bus demonstrated thai those who -were scorned in Juno aro treated with doforenco in October. " 'Human nntur' is human natur'.' said some wiso guy, Under the opor ntion of the laws of human nature what standing will the Hawloys have among tho governors of the newer ordor of politics? What influence will tJioy Jmvo? "Moral; When politicians find themselves, lost in political blizzards ttud fonr I hoy will porish, thoy nrolpapor. As a usual thing Jho budgot apt to throw away their Cannon hot' is as interesting und intelligiblo as the St. Mark's Block has caused an acclcumulation of an enormous stock of merchandise V Slaughtered stock is this seaion-s newest Watch for our oouiug ad. and rieo giving or the next tlos, cards and pipes; but watch them.

Mayor Gnyuor and his official cabiuot believe that the citizen should know something about the budget; should know whore 'every cent went and what the taxpayor got in return. Major Gnynor is ono of those very peculiar because raro public officials who bcliou that they are merely the servants of the people nnd thut they hao to render a good account of their stewardship. So the "budget exposition" was op ened. It costs the city $35,000 to conduct the exposition, but as yet not n single "indignant taxpayer" bus written n enrd to his fuvorite paper about the "flngrant wasto of money."
