"Ali : bee pardon I" said the Review man a few days seo when Sheriff Dosrt called st the office and demended ftroof of the accusations made in that aper during the past month, with speciat reference to the Upton case and the tax list. "It fa Becglo and the other 'fullers' we are punching and not you, Mr. Doan;" says the great apostle of populism, Herman, who beiraa this war of worda by an Unwarranted attack upon this paper a few Weeks ago. Herman now squeals, a is his true nature, and says it is "unprofeMionar for Th Mist to de fend itself. Well. really.it is unueces sary, and very few people do, pay any attention to what the Utile spasmodic has to v, but since Populist Herman made the accusations he has against the county officers and in the same paper acknowledges he knows nothing bout county atiaira, it is our just so those maliciously accused for this tiarjer to set the public aright in the premises. Further, if Herman knows nothing about county affairs he should post himself before making such state ments as he has lately; and still further, if it is "Beegle and the other fellers'" he is after why don't he come up and make his demands in person, since it is usually customary when a man wants any thing to ak for it T No doubt he could beacomniouatecL Again the Review mnn went into another spasm, and this is what he raid when be came to: "It any person commits a trifling offense a warrant is sworn out by the prosecuting attorney that cannot read his duty clear and the sheriff serves them, like in the Upton case, the county pays the bill, and ever member makes something out of the deal. Every little service is charged doubly for, and soon the county will be held up in daylight." Will the Review please slate what was charged doubly tort A failure to do so will be proof of falsehood. The Review's statement in regard to what it offered to print the tax list for is also untrue. It never offered to io the work for $75 or anr other sum. The editor of that paper asked Sheriff Doan for the tax list and when the sheriff asked him what be would charge, answered that he "would not cut prices." Sheriff Doan is able to speak for himself upon this poiut. The Mist simply mentions these things in order that people may not be misled by tbe willful prevaricator who runs the Review, and in order that those interested may look into tbe matter for themselves. Tbk Mist also nrges the closest investigation of any assertion made by it regarding public questions or the acts of'any public official. The court records are here sod are open to anyone who de sires to look them over ; so that there is no excuse for any one being deceived by misrepresentation. TBE LOT OF TBE FARMER. The report of the secretary of agri culture contaius some facts and tig' ures which present the lot of tbe farm er in a very encouraging light. So much has been said by the celamityites in receul years about the allege! bur deus and distresses if the crop-raising classes that it ie refreshing to read something of the opposite character, and to learn from the official statistics that tbe most of this wailing has been nothing but lying. This report shows, to begin with, that tbe farms of the United States have an average value, including implements, of 94UUU for a family averaging six persons. These farms have fed the owners and their families and 40,000,000 dwellers in towns and cities, besides supplying 1500,000,000 worth of products for for eign consumers, annuslly. Tbe mort gages on farm values aggregate only 16 per cent that is to ssy, there is an incumbrance of about flow on each 110,000 of rural real estate which is less than in any other line of industry or on any other form of prop ery ; and the value of farm lands is steadily increasing and must continue to do so as tbe population increases, which is not true of manufacturing plants and other kinds of mortgaged properly. "How can anyone dare to assert," the secretary says, in view of such facta, "that farming is generally unremunerative and unsatisfactory to those who intelligently follow it?" It is true that agriculture has suf fered in common with other kinds of business by reason of the prevailing - depression, and prices have gone down in some instances almost, if not quite, to the point of tbe cost of production ; but, all things considered, the farmers have probably fared better than any other element of the population. They have been sure of a living in any event, and their profits have not been lessened in an equal ratio, on the whole, with those of merchants, man ufacturers and general traders. The pessimistic orators and demagogic vote seekers have led them to believe that they are bearing all the misfor tunes of the country, while other classes were prosperous at their ex pense ; and they have gone off with that falacy in their heads and joined tbe populists. But they are learning how they have been deceived, an J what little reason they have, comparatively spesking, for complaint and lamenta tion. The report of the secretary of agriculture will help to confirm them in their present disposition to take a cheerful view of things, and to refrain from the folly of voting the populist ticket for the purpose of helping their condition. They can readily see from the statistics therein presented that they are by no means the leading debtor class in proportion to the value of their property, but that they have reason to be thankful that they are not so badly off in tbst respect as the bankers, for instance, and the owners of railroad stocks. Their lot, in short, is one of more than average comfort and happiness, snd their prospects for gaining a compentency are better than those of men engsged in any other form of industry. - -J uggMTlg For the year jut ended the amount of litigstion filt-d in the circuit court of this county has been nearly one-1 half in excess of what It was the pi ceding year. Tb'a will account in some degree for the additional circuit court expense. It is also a matter ,m record that the fees for recording for the year ending July 1. 1895, were Over 30 per cent in excess of what they were for the yesr ending July 1, 1894, and these fees tor the latter year have gone into the county treasury iustead of into Hie pocket of the clerk as here tofore. Dukino the first part of President Cleveland's term he nominated Rufus W. Peckham. of New York, to be asso ciate justice of the supreme court, but through the opposittouof Senator Hill (he senate refused to confirm tbe ap pointment. Recently, however, the president again named l'eclilmm to the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Jackson, which appointment waa confirmed by the senate Monday, Senator Hill concurring. Skxatob Lodqc says that during his recent visit to England he was told more than once that ths woolen man ufactures of Bradford had been saved by the Wilson bill. "I have no grudge against the people of Bradford," he adds, "but I prefer that those woolens should be made in the United States." This is the feeling of a decided major ity of the American people, which is to say that they want restoration of the republican tariff policy. The Sentinel still insists that the county paid back to Dibblee the amount of bis (ax paid to Meeker be sides giving him credit for tbe smouul on the roll. The man who will dis pute the records, and when shown his error will reassert the falsehood, does not possess one particle of that quality known as manhood. What manner of man is this the people of Fittsburg have in charge of their public school T .. "Would The Mist like a chapter on republican defalcations in Columbia county?" Sentinel. Thb Mist does not object. Place them side by side with populist defalcations ss soon as you like. In this connection we might ask : Would the editor of the Sentinel like a chapter ou his psst history? We are prepared to give it upon his re quest. Dcrbawt, the convicted murder of Blanche Lamont in San Francisco, has been denied a new trial by Judge Mur phy, and now the only hope left for tbe accused man is in the supreme court's disposition to reverse the de cision of the lower court. Confessed tbe Murder. 0gon Citt. Or., Dec 9. Charles Mont gomery surrendered himself to the sheriff this afternoon, saying he had shot and killed Hiram Hall, a mile from town on the west side of the river, in order to escape being robbed. Hall's body was found where designated by Montgomery and brought to town. Montgomery, appar ently, bad been under tbe influence of Hall for weeks, snd wss induced to mortgage land to get money for both to use on Bilets reservation lands. Three hundred dollars had disappeared and Montgomery thought Hall had stolen it, snd was trying to get 1300 more, which he bad Hall is rep resented to hare been a tough character. Both bad been drinking much together lately. The Stearns Case. Salim, Or.. Dec. 9. In the supreme com t today the ease of the State, respondent, vs. L. M. Stearns, appelant, Inm Columbia county, was reversed. Opinion by Bean, chief justice. The defendant, 8tearns, was convicted by the lower court and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary for the crime of embezzlement. The indictment upon which he was convicted set out that the de fendant, as solicitor snd agent of the Slate Insurance Company, collected premiums to the amount of (14.15, and failed to ac count for the same. The opinion says that ths allegation that the defendant received premiums that he failed to turn over to the company, according to the nature of the trust, is not sn allegation that such money was in fact the property of the company. The indictment failing to negative the own ership In the defendant or allege that the nviuey said tobsve been embezzled wss the property of otber than the defendant, it is held no crime is established and therefore the judgment is reversed. Should be Many Competitors. Salim, Or., Dec. 2, 1895. "That in order to instil in the minds of the rising generation a state pride that would result in s patriotic snpport of state institutions, and to bring the objects of the associations before the families of ths Northwest, snd thst a doe sense of the im portance of patronizing home industries may be firmly planted in ths minds of tbe boys and girls of the state, it was decided the association would offer three prizes. One of f 15, one of $10 and one of $5, to ths best three original compositions sent in by ttie school children of Oregon nnder fifteen years of age, the subject being 'The bene fits of Patronizing Home Manufacturers.' The compositions must be ia the hands of . C. liasten, secretary, room 7, Chamber of Commerce building. Portland, Oregon, on or before January 10, 1896, and the prizes will be awarded by the executive committee of the association, and published with tbe names of the authors." Ws have the honor to be yours very truly, MAaorAcmsKBs' Association or tux Noxthwist, by E. C. Mas ten, Secretary. TO TBS TKACBTSBS Of OaEOOX. Tbe above letter was received from the Manufacturers' Association of the North west, and firmly believing that the purpose is a noble one, and will be productive of mnch good in awakening an interest among the pupils of the schools throughout tbe stale, I very much desire that you make it known to the pupils in the various schools nnder your supervision. v Urge upon the pupils to make an effort for the prize, assuring them that though they may f nil for the prize, the benefit to be derived from the effort will mare than compensate them. O. M. Iswis, Stats Superintendent of Public Instruction. Electric Bitters, Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when ths languid exhausted feel ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and altera tive is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will set more surely in counteracting and freeing tbe system from the malarial poison. Ilead- ache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Klectric Bitters. 60c snd 11.00 per bottle at Pr. Edwin Ross' drug store. The Salmon Industry.

The Mist furnishes the music. ''I have been a republican for 35 years," says the Iteview roan, "and have paid a large amount of taxes in Washington." This ' is strictly "professional.
