One of the lessons learned by the busi - ness- collapse of 1893 is that the bonds .given by sheriffs and other financially responsible public servants must be r. carefully scrutinized and properly drawn up if they are to insure the county from loss through the dishonesty or ineffi ciency of the principals. This lesson has been a costly one. not only to Mult nomah county, but in a large degree to Columbia and other counties of the state. The first requirement of prud ence in the administration of county affairs is in choosing capable business men for the offices ; the next is to see that these officers furnish responsible bonds, ana that no loop-hole is ielt through which these sureties can escape the obligation assumed in the event that the contingency, against which the re quirement of bonds was interposed, arises. Compliments and confidences . between friends and political and finan cial bed-fellows are all right, but it may oe hoped that they will not again be' come ruling factors in the transaction of the business of Multnomah county. Uregonian. We hare always thought that the system of placing public officials nnder bonds was a wrong one. It is wrong in principle, and a failure in practice. When the people elect a man to office why should they require of two or three, or a half-dozen individuals that they become responsible for the shortcom ings of the man whom the people hare selected? For instance, Smith and Jones are opposing candidates for the office of county treasurer. One political party has selected Smith and stated to the world by putting him on its ticket that it believes him to be strictly hon est and capable and in every way quali fied to fill the office. The other polit ical party does the same thing for Jones. In the election Smith gets two-thirds of the entire vote of the county. When it is time for him to assume the duties of the office to which he has' been elected, the law steps in and says : "While it is true that you have been selected for this office by two-thirds of the legal voters of this county, they cannot be held responsible for their acts, and you must have some individuals Btand good for any loss that might occur, provided the people have made a mistake." Smith then ' hustles around among his friends, and they become his sureties, standing good for the people's choice to the people. Now if the man whom the people elected, and his friends, perhaps unwillingly, became surety for, proves dishonest, the law not bothering much about Smith, punishes perfectly honest and reputable citizens for his offense by fining them and confiscating their prop erty for the good of the public, for no offense greater than having confidence in Smith, whom the people recommend ed to them by their votes as being wor thy of that confidence. We believe the system entirely and unqualifiedly wrong. We believe that no bonds should be required, but that in case of misfeasance or malfeasance in office the law should punish the offender himself. That punishment ' should be made severe and certain. If the law must have somebody from whom to re coup, let it arrange for taking enough from his relatives, if he has any, to make good any losses. Let it go further and render his relations, within certain degrees, ineligible for any position of public trust. This would evidently be unjust, but it would not be as unjust as the present law. Let the law recognize the fact that the criminal is the one to punish, instead of his friends, and see to it that he is punished, and there would be no neces sity for making one or two citizensjof the county become guarantors that the ma jority of the voters of the county had not made fools of themselves in electing their officers. If the bonding system is to continue, the laws should be chanced, so that the bondsmen should hsive some kind of ,a show, for they, instead of the people, should, be allowed to elect the person for whom they become responsible. gan to talk about a republic they wanted to kill me. . I would not join them in their scheme of annexation to the United Statesi which would not do either gov ernment any good. I told them" that provisional government could not stand and that if they did not want a republic, I would go back to the queen. The last election that was held under the govern ment by the queen brought out 11,000 votes. You will-notice at the last elec' tion, under the present so-called repub lican government, there .were only-2,000 votes, and of these perhaps 1,000 would not have been legally entitled under the constitution with which the queen ruled It is a sham republic and those who are concerned are working the matter only as a 'speculation pure and simple, hop ing to sell their real estate at a high price. They expect to be able to that. "Look sensibly at what we would get and give by annexation. - We could not annex the country without taking in the people who are in its territory. There are from 12,000 to 15,000 Chinese, from 15,000 to 18,000 Japanese and 40,000 -or more half-castes. Then there are 1,000 lepers to be taken care of, and supported by us. This is not a very pleasing pros pect. There is no danger that a foreign nation will ever take the islands. Nor is there any danger that they will change their commercial relations with us. There has been a great deal of talk which has no foundation, and we know that to be a fact. For instance, there is nothing to the talk concerning the lay ing of a telegraph cable from British Columbia. Nor is there anything in the proposition for a steamship line between Vancouver and Honolulu. The Ha waiian islands have to sell their prod nets here. . This is the only place where they can sell them." CAN GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. The senatorial fight in Oregon is prac tically settled, and Senator Dolph will represent the state of Oregon for six more years, it is well that the matter is settled without a tedious deadlock, that would have interfered with and perhaps prevented much needed legisla tion. The caucus settled the matter, for Charley Fulton and Tom Tongue, having gone before the caucus, like good repnb licans and gentlemen bow to the decision of th at caucus. Had their followers seen fit to refuse to go into caucus, it is doubt ful if Dolph could have been elected, or that any election could have been had, The democrats would never have gone to their old time enemy, Dolph, and it is probable that not all of them or the pop ulists would have gone to any republican. In this case, at least, the caucus has been beneficial to the state and .to the republican party, by preventing a long and bitter struggle and perhaps a bad split. Next Tuesday the formality of electing Dolph will be gone through with, and the legislature can then buckle down to its work and by repealing the acts by which a lot of worse than useless com missions were created, save the expenee of holding the session, and in a measure make its existence excusable. The rail road commission should be the first to go. The bull-butter exterminator should. go next, then the fish and game deflecter, and unless their, powers are extended, the horticultural board should follow, and then the rag-tag and bob-tail little fellows should be guillotined in a job lot. The fish and game protector and the horticultural board would be of great benefit if their hands were strengthened so that finding an evil they could remedy it ; but being powerless, they are useless. Tbey have tried to do something and there is something for them to do if the legislature will give them the power to do it, but the railroad commission have no long felt want to fill. Besides it is not right for the Btate to expose them to, the chance of being killed or crippled in their beds while inspecting the railroads some night. WHO IS THE MORDERERt SPRECKLES ON HAWAII. Claus Spreckles, the San Francisco sugar king, knows most of the situation in Hawaii, and talks sensibly concern ing that country. He is opposed to the permanent maintainance of an Ameri can warship in Honolulu harbor. In an interview at San Francisco Wednes day he said: "When It first began to consider the situation in the Hawaiian islands, ,1 looked oyer the ground carefully. My idea then was that a republic should be created, the people to choose their presi dent and vice-president, and to vote on the new constitution But when Ibe- Our contemporary, the Sun, seems to lay great stress upon "What the people want." Does not that paper under stand that what the people want and what the legislature wants to give them are two different things. If we' remem ber correctly, the republican, demo cratic and populist platforms each con tained a demand for the abolishing of the railroad commission. Yet right now three-fourths of the members of the legislature, and nine-tenths of the lobby are candidates for the places on that commission. If the railroad commis sion is not abolished, let us all freely and frankly " admit that platforms, re gardless of party, are made only to catch votes, and no officer is, or should be bound bv the demands thereof. The legislature is shouting for econ omy 7 yet if Speaker Moores was correct when he said the other day that it cost $300 an hour to run that body, it, is diffi cult to see where the economy of ad journing over from Thursday until Monday- comes in. It is quite probable though that the session will last forty days anyhow. The hours that cost the Btate the least money will be those when the law-makers are not in session. We notice an advertisement in an ex change the head-line of which,' read, "Hard Times Made Easy.'"' Evidently the merchant has been taking lessons from the democratic party, for it made hard times without an effort. Or. Miles' Pain Pills en re Neuralgia.- The Oregonian yesterday had an ao' count of the attempt of Judge Gibbs of Little Eock, Arkansas, to have his son pardoned out of the penitentiary; It will be remembered . by many that Gibbs was a Pullman porter, and that he shot and killed James McDevitt, and also shot and severely wounded Tom McDevitt, the depot " master, whom every traveler knew and liked. As the Oregonian states the matter, the entire jury tnat tried Gibbs had signed a petition for his pardon, and that Gov ernor Pennoyer was disposed to grant it until he had a conversation witn M. C, Pennington, the cashier of the Pullman Company at Portland. What that con versation was the governor and Mr. Pennington know, but the latter gentle man baa not vouchsafed to say publicly what he said to the governor. We are not a believer in . promiscuous pardoning, nor do we believe that. Gibbs should be pardoned, though we thought at the time, and still think that Gibbs' crime was the legitimate outcome of the Pullman Co.'s system of carrying on its business, by which that company hired its conductors and porterst but com pelled the public to pay their salaries in the shape of tipt. It appeared in the trial of the case, as we remember the testimony, that one of the rules of the Pullman Co. ""as that the porter should not allow passengers to put packages or baggage in the Pullman car until it was time for the traiu to start. ' On the 11th i day of October, 1889, Gibbs was at the depot in. Portland aiteiiiling to his dut:es about the car, it being an hour or two before the time for the train to leave. A lady came to the depot and requested Gibbs to put some packages in the car. Although it wan against the rules, Gibbs acceded to the ladv's re quest, being superinduced thereto by tip. Pennington came through the car shortly alter, and seeing the package, like many another petty official, took advantage of his discovery to abuse Gibbs. The latter retorted to the petty tyrant's abuse by saying that the com pany compelled him to eke out his sal ary of $15 per month (the munificent reward that Pullman paid for a month's service) by taking tips. The result of Pennington's verbal attack on Gibbs, who showed all through the transaction the more' manly spirit of the two, was that the latter threw down his keys and left the Car. Pennington followed him, and in ' order to vent his spite, called upon McDevitt, the depot master to ar rest Gibbs for abusing him. As Mr. McDevitt started to arrest Gibbs, the latter puiled a pistol and fired, the shot striking McDevitt, and James, McDev- itt's son,' seeing bis father's danger rushed to his rescue, receiving a bullet from Gibbs' pistol in his breast. Gibbs escaped and was caught in California five weeks after. On the trial Gibbs made a statement on his own behalf. He said that Pen nington had abused him ; that when he left the car and McDevitt and Penning ton came at him he was frightened; that he bad been mobbed and beaten by gang of white men sometime before, and that he, in his fright, imagined the offense was going to be repeated. Such, in brief, was the crime for which Gibbs was sent up for life. It would seem that Pennington, being (however unwittingly) the Indirect cause of the whole affair, might have found in his heart eome trace of pity for the vic tim of bis own petty officiousness, and yet he is the man (according to the Ore gonian) who alone prevented by "a con versation with the governor," Gibbs' pardon. It may be best that Gibbs should suffer the full penalty of his offense ; it probably is so, but he should not pay that penalty alone. George M. Pullman, whose grasping penuriousness inaugurated the system of compelling his employes to beg their salary from his Pullman's patron', should be in the same' cell with him, for he is as much the murderer as Gibbs. llie Washington legislature has not yet agreed upon a man to send to the United States senate. On this side of the river a republican in favor of gold, or at least against free coinage of silver, has been selected. On the other side it seeui9 quite certain that a' man wili be selected, who on that measure will be able to pair with ours. It is of great in terest to us whom that senator shall be, for while he will come from Washington, he will at the same time legislate for Oregon as well as Washington, and the whole United States. We must confess that the two leading candidates do not appeal strongly to the party at large, whatever they may do to the ' party locally. In our humble opinion, it would be well to study geography, and give the Columbia river section repre sentation. Hon. John D. Geogbegan of Clarke county would fill the office, and he is certainly too available a candidate to be overlooked. Miss Edna R. Brown of EaneviHe, 111., has been working the whole country on a stamp racket. Each party addressed by her is requested to copy the letter and send it to three friends, each re turning the letter he has received, with ten cancelled stamps, to Miss Brown at Kaneville aforesaid. A Portland statis tician figures it out that if each person addressed ' obeys , orders, Miss Brown would - receive eleven septillions of stamps, and it would therefore take one septillion and one hundred sextillion of persons to send them. As there are only seventy millions of people in the United States, it will be easily Been that the Portland statistician is worse in his figures than a democratic cmnpaign committee. Expressed in numerals the sum stated by the statistician and the number of people in the United States would compare as follows: The -statistician's amount would be 1,100,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000, and the census shows 70,000,000. It was by this same system of calculating that an old philos opher proved to his own satisfaction at least, that the human family could not have descended from Adam and Eve because each person having a father and mother, and each of these having a father and mother, the more remote the generation from which descent was traced, the more people it would re quire, and that consequently the earlier the period the greater the population. 1 A correspondent of the Portland Sun makes a strong arraignment of the Day Bros., who have the contract for com pleting the locks at the Cascades. We will have something to say upon the sub ject in the near future, which may prove of interest to the public generally. As to the complaint that the work would have been completed sooner, if left in charge of the government officers, we will say now that the people of Eastern Oregon after giving up all hopes bf the work ever being completed by the gov ernment officers, became a unit in de manding the work be finished by con tract. We do not believe they are yet sorry for that change. A young man at Monmouth by jhe name of Poole was accidentally shot the hand while handling a small pocket pistol. The bullet passed through the palm of the hand, inflicting a painful but not serious wound.

A New ICnterprlse. Mr. Douglas S.- Dufur of The Dalles Or., and Fred D. Hill of Portland, Or. will form a co-partnership on the 1st of February, 1895, for the purpose of con ducting an' expert Stenographing, Type writing,and Mimeographing business. In addition to the above they will also con duct a general real-estate, fire-insur ance, abstract of land titles, collection loans, and conveyancing business, and will open their office in the Bettingen building, corner of Court and Second streets. Both are young men, well and favorably known in this community, Mr. Dufur is the pesent incumbent in the recorder's chair,' and his ability as a type-writer and business man sufficiently known in this community to need no further comment or recom ruendation. Mr. Fred D. Hill, is the ex-official stenographer and type-writer for the government at the Pine Ridge Indian Agency, and he is a pronounced expert stenographer and type-writer,: having recommendations from some of the lead ing men of the United btates. This firm will endeavor to conduct their business on a fair and square basis, and all matters entrusted to them will receive prompt and instant attention. These young men deserve a share of the public patronage in their line of business, and we have no doubt but that they will make a grand success of their new undertaking, as such a busi ness as they intend to engage in will be a great benefit to the business man and lawyer of this country.
