In view of the complicated state ia which ex-Slieriir Massie ltft the affair of hit office, the appointment of ex Sheriff Watt to serve out the unex pired term was a very timely action on the part of the county court, not lone because the emergency de manded that an experienced officer be installed if uch a one could be found, . but also because of the valuable and efficient services which Mr, Watts rendered this county upon former oc casions when he was elected to office which he has recently beau appointed to fill. The excellent reputation which Mr. Watts establiahe I for himself by the recent examination of the public records, in which he , brought the county out in his debt in a nominal sum after four years' occupancy of hi office, shows him to bt a careful, com petent, and efficient official, worthy of the confidence and respect of the pen ple of this county, and entitled to th compliment w'ich was paid him in the unsolicited offer of the office. We must not be understood to sat that Mr. Watts is the only man in the county capable of intelligently and honestly performing the duties of thi office, or that he should be rewarded for doing his simple duty upon former occasions, but the desperately con fused and tangled state in which Mas sie left the business of his office, pre cipitated an emergency which re quired the immediate attention of an honest, intelligent, and experienced officer, and nnd r the existing circum stances the present was no time for initiating an official uncaquainted with the duties of the office. The people of this county have had quite a suf ficient experience with ignoramuses in responsible places, and the action of the court in appointing an exper ienced officer is to be highly com mended by everyone interested in the welfare of the county. THE OLD ONE. The office of sheriff of Columbia county was declared vacant by the county court .Friday afternoon, and ex-Sheriff T. C. Watu was immediately appointed by a two-thirds vote of the court to serve out the unexpired term of Q. A. Massie, who abscounded three weeks ago today, leaving bis bondsmen to make good a discrepancy of over $3,000 in his account with the county, besides innummerable smaller amounts which he misappropriated and collected from private parties. Hassie's total shortage with the county is $3,057.50. ' This is money which he has received for taxes and failed to ac count for, but does not by any means represented the amount of his defalca tions. Every day since it was made public that he has gone, complaint is registered by parties who have paid Massie fees tor official services which lie failed to perform, and which he ap pears never to have paid any attention to after the work was placed in his hands. These parties all hold Massie' receipt for these' monies and will, of course, look to his bondsmeu to make them up. ; The safe in his office is full itf half-finished or totally-neglected business, which has for months, in come cases, been suffering for atten tion. Massie' total incompetency for the office and inability to legally and inU-1 ligently perform its functions is being more clearly demonstrated every day as the investigation of the affairs of his office progresses. It is found in looking1 over bis papers that but few of his official acts were regular or ac cording to law. This is particularly true of his sheriff's sales and foreclos ures, nearly or quite all of which are found upon close inspection to be de l fective and illegal. Numberless in stances of Massie's dense ignorance of the duties of office of sheriff are every where visible in the work which he has Attempted, and any number of cases could be cited as evidence -of the slack and irregular manner in which be conducted the affairs of the office. In all of his sheriff sales now pend ing he has failed to comply with the provisions of the law governing such matters, which require the sheriff to post three notices of the sale as follows : "One such notice shall be posted upon ihe property under execution, a sec ond notice in . conspicuous public place, aud a third shall be displayed n nun the door of the county court house." Other instances of irregular ity are being devt-loped daily, but are too numerous to particularise. Massie is a queer compound. He is the soul of liberality (with the coun ty's money). He preached the pre cept of his party, which teaches that all shall share alike, and he practiced what he preached as long as the money held out. This praolice constituted him an ideal populist and made him immensely popular with his party. Mastie has many other peculiar char acteristics which serve to eminently qualify him as a populist sheriff, lie loaned the county's money to half if hi political friends, aud made the other half deputy sheriffs. This added to his popularity, with his party, and helped to scatter the money systemat icully. ' Massie had a commendable ambi tion to bo a capitalist, but lie was al ways a belter hand at spending money than making it. It was this latter failing which ruiued him. As a con sequence of hia morbid ambition for wealth and power he had himself made president of a bank simul an. eously wilh his advent in. politics, but never ex plained how he made his bus iness harmonize with his politic. In private life Mass-ie is a desirable ami aecnmmodating neighbor, and in poli tics he is eminently consistent, for hi official acta show that he has a keen appreciation of the teachings and prac tical workings of the party to which he is allied, and Ins political syniiut thizers may well lntH that he will con tinue steadfast in the faith and always t.lav the stellar nde, for in tha. capa city ha will never hesitate to shine as a slur of the tir-t ni.ijjnit tule. Eastern Oregon wool-growers are soon to realize the result of their en dorsement of frt-e trade principle, and their queer hallucination that they must have an .dniini.-tratioii which assesses a tariff for revenue only. The practical effect of the mistake they hate made ia clearly visible in the proposal to put wool on t lie free list for the benefit- of the eastern maniifiic turer, whose advantage over his west era rival in being able to buy at a much cheaper price the wool offered by the foreign market, will not only result in driving the western wool- grower out of the business or force him to compete with the foreign prir ducer, but will totally ruin the profits of the western manufacturer and cause him to close his factories. If the pro posal prevails to put wool on the free list aud a duty of thirty-five per cent on manufactured Roods, the inevitable result wiil be to put the production of wool in the hands of the foreigner, while the manufacturing of goods will be limited to the Atlantic coast sea board, for it is plain that the Ameri can wool-grower can no more compete with the foreign producer than the western manufacturer can compete wilh his eastern rival, who has the ad vantage of cheap ocean freight rates and the preference of buying in much larger quantities. Ex-Queen Lillioukalahi is nothing if mt modest. She only ask $500,000 for her interest ia Hawaii and the throne land. Perhaps this would be cheap if Lil had any interest in them, and possibly Mr. Cleveland will accept the offer anyway, for if he is av all sen sitive he wiil be gld to give that much to get nut of the mess he is in. Ex-Sheriff Missus's bondsmen will now have ample cause and leisure to moralize upon the folly of becom- i.ig surety for a comparative and irre sponsible stranger, in a position of trost and responsibility, regardless of any considerations touching his quali fication for such a position. These are 111.000 destitute and starving people in Chicago who wnl to see the fair and were unable to get away, and a nio-enient is on foot l raise $1,000,000 with which to supply them with food and shelter. If this I done it will knock a consideradle hole in the profit of the bis show. Salt ia to lie put on the. free list. A 300-pound barrel of salt ia now selling at forty cents, in the Saginaw valley, but it is considered too high and must be reduced for the benefit of tha poor man. There will be no excuse for anybody being too fresh hereafter. CLATSKAXIE. Hon. N. Merrill came In Tuesday from a trip up the river.
