The Salem Daily Capital Jour
nal reproduced in its issue of
Monday an editorial which appeared
in this paper last week regarding
Secretary Kincaid and credited it
to "Medkoro Mail, Hop." Don't
do that again, please, Brother llofer,
or there will be trouble in our camp.
That "Rep." is supposed to mean
republican, but that is not the
complexion of The Mail, neither
is it Democratic or Populist it is
just plain "Independent with a
mission and unmuzzled. Being
independent, however, does not of
necessity blind us to the fact that
there is some little good in all
parties and that while the majority
of office holders may be thieves to
the public good, there is occasion
ally found one who is honest and a
friend to just government. This
being the case we are not so clan
nish as to refuse to extend a
deserved compliment hence our
kindly mention of Secretary Kin
caid's action in refusing to issue
warrants in payment for newspapers
furnished legislators.

Medford is noted the state over
for her excellent schools, her able

strong fraternal societies, live mer

distinction.
The general belief among busi

the becinmns of a business revival, on south D street. i

Before the delinquent tax list
is published Sheriff Patterson owes
it to his constituents, and especially
to the unfortunates who are on the
delinquent list, to get figures on the
publication work from the several
newspapers of the county, and give
it to the one that can do it the
cheapest. Fifty cents a line, the
price chargod last year, is by far
too much.

It 13 as true today as it ever was
that united we stand, divided we
fall by the wayside. If good comes
to any city, town or hamlet it must
come by concerted action. Con
tention must be foreign to all moves
of progress. If differences arise
between men of one locality one
city or one village it is not wise
to presume that those men of one
opinion are wholly in the right and
those of another opinion wholly in
the wrong; but it is wise to pre
sume that there is a line between
the two upon which all may stand
with equal profit ; a line which all
may hitch to and pull for the com
mon good of each individual.
The pension appropriation bill
passed in the closing days of the
last congress and approved by Pres
ident Cleveland, March 2nd, con
tains a clause of much interest to
certain pensioners, the existence
of which may not be generally
known in this region. This clause
raises the minimum rate of pen
sion to $6 per month. From and
after the passage of the act all
pensioners now receiving less than
$6 are entitled to the same amount
on allowance of their claims. The
new law does not cover any period
prior to its passage nor does it

A Pretty Foot
Is largely due to the kind offline

To passengers going east the new time card
of the Northern Pacific K. K. will be of great
Interest. You can now make the trip from all
Southern Oregon points to I'hicago lu about S4
hours less than formerly the running time on
the N. P. has been shortened ten hours and the
time card changed so that you can leave Port
land at 9 o'clock a. m., instead of 5 o'clock p.
m., as heretofore. The new connection made
by the N. P. with the Burlington rood makes
this also the shortest, quickest and best routs
to Kansas, Nebraska, St. Louis and all Missouri
river points. For safety, comfort and fair
honorable treatment all unite in saying that
the N. P. is unequalled. If you wish to go east,
southeast, northeast or to Europe apply to S.
P. Cass, N. P. Agent, at the First National
Bank, Grants Pass, Ore. He will do you good.
