Tlio efforts of Editor Fitch to shield
Senutor Porter In Ills wroiu doiin at
Salom are ludicrous. On the 17th Inst.,
Senator Porter introduced senate reso
lution No. 10, authorizing the appoint
ment of two stenographers for tbo sen
ate. And in the face of these indisputa
ble facts Editor fitch endeavors to show
lip Doss Porter as a friend of tlio people,
can't stand the way other people hang
their pictures.

that the Enterprise is tlio only paper In

Gen. Goinet wants the United Stales
to pay tlio insurgent army $40,000,000.
He thinks that stun would bo adequate
compensation (or llioir military services.
This would bo ut the rato of $1,000
apiece for 49,000 men, but tliero woie
never half as many under arms, and
probably never more than 15,003 active
soldiers, which would bo about $2,500
apiece all around. It may ho added
that Gen. Gomez would lake the respon
sibility of distributing tlio money.
Tho Imperls of foreign merchandise

than these of ISfltf and nearly $";0,000,

two years of great financial depression.
Tho great part of Iho imports were raw

Oregon City lias an opportunity to
establish her own lighting plant in con
nection with the water system at the
present lime ut a small cost. At no
other place In tlio world Is electricity
generated at so small a cost as it is here,
yet tho citizens aro compelled to pay
flvo times as much for lights us do the
people of Sacittinonto. Most any of the
numerous streams adjacent to our city
can furnish iiilllcient powc r to produce
tho lights. Electricians Inform us Unit
aro lights reqtilro about one horse power,
and 14 incandescent lainpi tho samo,
At that rate tho Singer creek could fur
nish eufllclent power for lights ovor

this matter is of nearly as great Impor

Editor Fitch in tho Enterprise in Iho
first column of Iho fifth pngo of the
issuo of January '20, 1S90, uaod tlio fol
lowing language:
"On account of our present economi
cal county administration and tho high
tax levy necessary Ibis year, the Judge
refused to telegraph his piroiits of their
ion's death and the county will inter
lil in in the paupers' Held."
That Is nol an Inmost criticism of re
publican officers, but is a plain un
varnished llo used to vent (lie spite of
tho Enterprise on Judge Ryan. No per
son oven suggested to Judge Ryan the
propriety of telegraphing to Morton's
parents. Tho address of Morton's par
ents is unknown to anyone In Orogon
'Cily so such a course- could not have
boon taken.
"Economical county administration
mid high tux levy necessary."
Tho county tax levy is lower this year
than fi r many yours as aiivonu can veil.
fy by looking up tho records. That tlio
present county court Is economical there
is no question, but this does not suit the
Enterprise, therefore this slurring attack.
