THE
FEELING IS THE
EVERYWHERE.
SAME
The Astorian re-prints The Cuhoxi-
ci.e's comments concerning Secretary
Kincaid, and adds :
Astoria has been the beneficiary of a
taste of this desire, so apparent in Mr.
. Kincaid, to get bold of everything in
sight, and probably the action to which
. we have reference was more picayanish
and contemptible than any charge men
tioned by The Chronicle. A state com
mission to represent Oregon at the
Mexican exposition was appointed by
Governor Lord some mouths ago.
These gentlemen, selected by the gover
nor to represent our state, and to devise
wavs and means to contribute to ber
honor and futther fame abroad, were
chosen bv the chief executive with
special reference to their fitness for the
position, and all. felt flattered bv the
selection. A few weeks after the ap
pointments were made each of the com
missioners received ins credentials,
signed by the governor and containing
tbe seal of the state, accompanied by a
letter from Mr. Kincaid, in which that
individual made a demand for $2 for
affixing the seal. This was not only an
- insult a tax upon a man's willingness
to serve his fellow-citizens but a de
liberate attempt to obtain - money to
which we are firmly convinced the sec
retary of etate had no legitimate or hon
orable claim.
We are indeed sorry that a man who
stoops to such methods should hold a
high position among us. .More sorry
still thatrsuch a man calls himself a re
publican, which he is not. It is time
that his whole official record should be
investigated, and that the public should
know whether Mr. Kincaid, dressed in
a little brief authority, is to be allowed
any longer to dishonor the whole state
of Oregon.
A gentleman residing at Tbe Dalles
was one of Gov. Lord's appointees to
represent Oregon at the Mexican expo
sition, and he too had occaion to feel
the insult of a dun from the economical
secretary of state. ,
It is poor commendation to the re'
ceiver of the Portland Savings bank
that a committee is necessary to hasten
liquidation or investigate. We don
know much about running a hank, and
less about receiverships, but it strikes
us that the management of the Portland
Savings Bank is a disgrace to the direc
tors and to the city of Portland. Peo
pie throughout the etate placed their
money in that savings bank, in lull con
lidence that it would be safely cared
for and wisely invested. The depositors,
or very many ot tnem, could il!y anord
to loose their deposits; but since the
first closing of the bank, and in fact for
several days before the first closing, it
has apparently been managed for the
exclusive benefit of officers and em
ployes. Now the means which should
go to tbe depositors is being devoured
by receivers' expenses and fees.
- It may be all right, but it doesn't look
that way to the poor man who has a de
posit there.
ONLY ONE GOOD RESULT.
The violation of the law to enforce the
law ought never to be necessary, and in
the advanced stage of our civilization is
not necessary. The members of the
mob who hung the murderers at Ellens
. burg are guilty of murder, in the eyes of
the law, and morally are equally guilty
with the men whom they put to death
in cold blood. The provocation was
' great, ana no uoubt tnerr act will go
unpunished, so far as courts are con
cerned ; but the effect upon the com
monity is sure to be bad, and the- effect
upon tbe men themselves, who partici
pated in the hanging, is likely to be
evil, both now and during the remainder
of their lives.
There was a time on the Pacific coast
when law was impotent, and the direct
punishment of murder, or even lesser
crimes, by lynching, became necessary;
but that time has long since passed.
Courts are often slow in the administra
tion of justice, and sometimes fail en
tirely: . but the ultimate effect of their
dilatoriousness and failure is far less
evil than the violation of law and order,
as in the case at Ellensburg.
The only good result is the removal
of two accursed and worthless wretches ;
but this good, great as it is, is of no con
sequence in the light ot tbe evil grafted
upon the lives of the actors. If they are
men whose reasons are clear, and whose
consciences are active, the hanging of
tbe two murderers will be a cloud they
will not soon dispel. Better that two
murderers should have entirely escaped
punishment a result not at all proba
ble in this instance than that fifty or
an hundred men should have allowed
themselves to yield to the excitement,
aDd become unlawful elayers of their
fellowmen.
The situation of the wool menis
much better Mian a year ago. Last sea
son ruahy wool growers shipped their
fleeces upon consignment, and inetead
of receiving further returns, had the un
usual and distasteful experience of re
funding part of the advance money for
freight charges. This summer very
little, if any, wool was ehipped from
The Dalles upon consignment. The
wool was Eold outright to buyers, who
were ready with their check books to
draw from funds in the banks. Many
store-bills and accounts of long stand
ing were paid by wool men, and the
channels of trade received an increased
flow of monev. The rise in wool does
not offer any campaign arguments for
the democrats, however. It was not
due to the glorious workings of a free
trade system. The price had gone so
low that further production was impos
sible at that figure. Many producers
had diminished their flocks, and the de
crease in amount between this year and
last is estimated from 64,000,000 to 100,
000,000 pounds Wool will never re
gain its old level till a republican execu
tive and republican congress rule tbe
land.
REGARDING MR KINCAID,
One single paper, so far as heard from,
has pome to the defense, of Secretory
Kincaid. The Union Republican says:
The Republican fails to see wherein
there is grounds for criticism in this act
of Mr. Kincaid. If doing what the law
says to do is the only fault the critics of
the secretary can find in his adminis
tration, he need have no fear of the way
in which these criticisms will be re
ceived bv the people of the state. Mr.
Kincaid 'is laboring in the interest of
the people in the administration of his
trust, and while it is true he has not
succeeded as well as he desired in all
cases for instance, in his efforts to save
the state the $-.'0,000 of the people's
monev paid tbe useless railroad commis
sionthe fact remains, nevertheless,
that he is endeavoring to administer his
office as economically as possible ana in
the interest of the people.
Very good; but the Republican for
gets that the railroad commission is en
deavorins to administer its office as
economically as possible ; that it is do'
ing just what the law says to do, viz.,
collecting all it can from the state treas
ury, and doing as little real service as
possible'; just what bur distingnished
secretary is doing. The real fact re
mains that the secretary b9 hia nose
very deep in the crib, ana wuen tne
railroad commission, which is made to
draw a salary and nothing more, tries
to get its nose into tbe manger, he
growls and kicks. He is endeavoring to
administer his office as economically as
possible for Mr. Kincaid ; he even lets,
the state pay his attorneys, employed
by him without authority of law to help
him make the kick.
Now, Mr. Kincaid, suppose you com
mence a suit against that fellow, Harri
son R. Kincaid, to determine bis right
to the ten or twelve thousand dollars
which he is annually collecting from the
people over and above the compensation
provided by the constitution for him. "
safo within an editor's sanctum, where
there is nq treasure for moth or rust to
corrupt, or thieves to break through and
steal, it looks as if they needed a sheriff
down there who is willing to do a little
rustling. . Perhaps the putting of eher
iffa on a salary is not entirely a good
thing. - .
- Twenty-two bright young men and
women are sitting in tbe county court
room stirring their brains over perplex
ing questions, and rapidly writing tbe
various answers that seem to fit the
case. No one enter into this test of
knowledge without feelings of nncer
tainty and a wish that it was success
fully over. We wish the applicants tbe
best of success, and trust that the out
come will show them all winners. May
their nerves grow steadier and their
mind a more active as tbe questions get
harder. '
PUNISH ALL THIEVES.
A WAY TO AVOID DEBTS.
The O. R. & S. Co. is to be eold under
foreclosure, a great misfortune to the
road, stockholders, directors, and other
officers. But there are others who are
unfortunate tbe hundreds of creditors
who have furnished supplies to the road,
or rendered it services, or on other
grounds have valid -claims against it.
There are several , such persons in this
community, whose claims are from a
few dollars to many hundred; people
who cannot afford to lose their hard
earned money.
ine property win De sold under a
foreclosure for a sum not exceeding the
' mortgage; will be bought in bv the
larger stockholders, and the property
will be re-mortgaged and be ready to
incur further debts. When the indebt
edness is large enough to warrant it, the
process will be repeated, and the small
creditors be left holding the sack. We
do not undertake to say this is the pur-
If Wasco county is to have a county
fair this fall, it should be something
else than a florae race. Horse races are
good things in their place, but at county
fairs they are usually a game in which
the professional gamblers do up the
local sports and unwary, but venture'
some, farmers. If we can have an ex
hibition of the products of the county
an illustration of its resources the fair
will be a benefit; but if it is simply
slide for dollars from tbe pockets of the
people to the purses of the transient
professional sports, we better have none.
The effect upon our city of the con'
strnction of new sidewalks is remarka
ble. Nothing throws discredit upon 1
city so entire'ly as delapidated walks
and filthy streets. Just at the present
time our town is being advertised exten
sively, by reason of its business activity,
and many outsiders are looking this
way. Tho appearance of neat walks
and well-kept streets will do much to
convince those who may come to us
that we are as thrifty as we claim to be,
and really are. Let tho good work go
on.
In the death of Frank Pixley San
Francisco loses one of the most fearless
forcible and incisive writers the Pacific
coast, or indeed the nation, has known
His success in journalism was due to
the freedom from the obsequiousness
which characterizes .the ordinary city
newspapers, and makes them too much
the flatterers of public whims and
errors, instead of the moulders of pnblic
opinion." San Francisco journalism can
ill afford to lose a Pixley.
The humane and civilized everywhere
will rejoice if the report that Gen.
Campos has resigned and recommended
that Cuba be given tbe right to govern
herself, prove to be authentic. We fear
it is not true; "but it ought to be.
Cubans , have manifested a persistency,
courage and -determination in its strug
gle for liberty that entitles them to a
peace accompanied by self-government,
without further slaughter. 1
We hear many comments upon the
improved condition of the streets since
the loose . rocks and debris have been
raked up. A little attention will keep
them in good condition, and the public
will appreciate the attention thus given
to them There are a few rough places
on Washington, between Third and
Fourth, which could be greatly improved
by smoothing' down . or filling in the
holes. , ' .
Some of tbe fruit raisers near town
have been, and are being, greatly an
noyed by the incursions of grown hood-
urns and badly-governed email boys
pon their melon fields. There is not a
farmer in the country who would not
gladly' give a manly boy,, or a needy
man, all tne melons be wants, and tbe
loss of such melons as are taken is in
considerable; but when a whole field of
melons is ruined by the use of ' a knife
in the bands of a boy or man inspired to
mischief by satan himself, the loss is
grievous one and the wrong one that
should be severely punished.
The only proper course is to land
every pilferer behind the bars, regard
less of the social standing of his family,
and .cause him to suffer the lawful re
sult of his offense. Fruit-stealing is
winked at too much ; to such an extent
that many boys are filled with the idea
that is tbe right of every manly boy to
take anything and everything in tbe.
way of fruit that can be reached. But
this is but one of tbe steps in the educa
tion of criminals, and the way to' save
the boy is to teach hm by tbe terrible
experience of captured thieves in other
lines. 1 Furthermore, tbe fruit raiser is
as much entitled to protection as the
merchant, the stock raiser and Banker.
We believe that the arrest of a few of
theboys would be a good thing for them.
The sending to jail, for a considerable
term, of the grown-up hoodlums would
be an excellent thing for the community.

Senator Peffer has done the, from his
standpoint, only sensible thing gone
back on the free silver proposition and
is preaching paper money, no interest
and loans by . the government. What
Peffer wanted free silver frfr we could
not guess; he owned no silver mines,
was down on corporations or pretended
to be by whom all the silver minee,
which are worth anything, are owned ;
and he has heretofore appeared to us to
be working at cross purposes. NowSie
is on the right track. We hope he will
compel tbe money holders to lend their
money without interest to those in need.
Then we shall ask him to compel the
farmers to rent their farms without com
pensation,, loan their horses and wagons,
seeders and reapers in the same way,
and lend their labor to the indolent on
the same terms. Then we will select a
iarm, quit advising the government, the
banks and corporations how to run their
business, and tbe people how to vote,
and retire to the farm and fiveTn ease
Great is Peffer ! Let his name 'be
praised ! .

AT HIS WITS' END
Father Tells How His Baby
Suffered from .,
Eczema.
Tbe Chicago Inter Ocean recently con
tained a cartoon, of which we are re
minded by yesterday's dispatches, con
cerning tne maintenance ot tbe reserve
by the board syndicate. The picture
represented an Irish, iaunting car, such
as the English-imitating snobs use, the
driver of which was Banker Morgan,
with the word "Syndicate" on his hat
band. By his side sat a diminutive
Uncle Sam, holding the ends ot the
lines, as children often do. Oa the
back seat sat the coachman, the wrinkle
in whose neck above his shirt collar
identified him as the prerident. Below
were the words : . "An old trick. The
youngster -thinks he is driving." It is
apparent that the syndicate still holds
the reins, and Uncle Sam is being fooled.
Twice within a week the Coos bay
