Ex-Senator Ingalls' powers of sarcasm and denunciation were employed on fit subjects when lie drew contrasting pic tures of Broker Chapman's luxurious imprisonment and of the scandalous activity of the sugar lobby in the sen ate. Better illustrations of the corrupting influences that wealth may breed in government could not easily bet found than are offered by these twin pictures. Broker Chapman's easy punishment is a souvenir of one scandal incident to legislation in the interest of the Sugar trust. Before it is finally disposed of another worse than the first arises. There is no condition more conducive to disorder and revolution than that in which crime triumphs through the cor rupting use of money. When money can secure immunity from merited pun ishment or privilege under the laws, the plain people are made to feel that justice is impossible. If a poor man, who is guilty of an ordiuary violation of law, must suffer the usual hardships of prison, and a rich man, who has served as the agent in corrupt transac tions affecting national legislation and is sent to jail for defyiug the senate, can revel in luxury, what has become of justice? , But if, having failed to expose and punish one set of wrongdoers, the sen ate again becomes the instrument of rapacity for a monster monopoly, or ganized to rob the people, what hope for honest government have the peo ple? When ex-Seuator Ingallxsay that train robbery is respectable beside the bold op of tie people contained in the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, he roughly emphasizes the difference be tween robbery by bold assault and rob bery by corrupt and treacherous be trayal. There is more anarchism in the ex hibition of the power of money to pur chase immunity from punishment un der the law and to buy special privi leges in legislation than in all the nioutbinss of anarchistic cranks. .St. Louis Republic. COUNTY COURT. Adjourned July Term Held Honday, July 36th. At the adjourned term of the commis sioner's court held lust Monday, there were present Gorden E. Hayes, county judge, and Frank Jaggar and 8. F. Marks, county commissioners.

The other bids for all the work were J. D. Rentier and J. W. Jones, $1025 ; Dan Lyons, $1900. The Oregon City Labor Exchange offered to do all the work, including the cleaning of the old channel 1400 feet long and 50 feet wide for $2150. The matter was taken under advisement for the further con sideration of the court. - The accounts for road district No. 16, for the month of June, was allowed as follows: OH Rider.. $ 21 00 Ed Waldron 18 00 18 00 4 60 4 50 ... 4 60 160 C H Foster.

McKlnley U Reminded That We Have Poor and Meed at Heme. President MoKinley is respectfully asked to take uotiee of the fact that fe have ' ft Vast number of American citi tcnt t borne here who are "without tneans of support" The war of which they are the victims is not carried ou by Spanish dons and grandees, but by American tkist and tariff barons, aided by the international gold combine. It is as real a war as that in Cuba. And as in Cuba, starvation is its chief weap on. Every week, however, some of its victims succumb to the bullet, the poi son cup or the rope. The American citizens who are suf fering as victims of our trust, tariff and gold standard war have not, like the Cuban Americaus, voluntarily expatri ated themselves. They are still here, payiug taxes and doing what tbey can to further the interests of their own country instead of trying their fortunes on a foreign shore. Most of them are still voters, though the natural result of the economic war in Which they are getting worsted is to disfranchise them by turning them into tramps and wan derers. If it is desirablo to appropriate $50, 000 to relieve 600 or 800 Americans who have left their country of their own free will, it is even more desira ble to do something to relieve the army of American citizens who aro "without means of support" here at home because the trusts and the gold combine won "the first battle" last November. , Whatever money is "appropriated" will be taken from the taxes paid by the masses of this country who have staid at home. Not a cent of it has been contributed by the Cuban adven turers, pity for whom wriugs President, McEinley's heart while be in deaf to the cries for aid that swell up from the pauperized and the starving at his very doors. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. TOO MUCH FREEDOM. Governor Black Telia the Poor Man lie Baa Beaton to Be Thankful. Governor Black of New York vetoed the graded iuheritunce tax bill uud wrote a long message on the su inert which will be "pulled on" him if he ever runs for office again. The governor expresses the opinion that "in this country the right of suffrage is carried too far." He tells the poor man sub stantially that he hasn't much to com plain of. He informs him that, umoug other benefits he receives, his children are charitably educated at schools sup ported by the rich. The "governor said a great deal more than was necessary to give such reasons as he bad for disapproving the measure. He not only wrote himself as wrong on some of the most important questions of the day, but placed himself ou record as a distressingly poor politician. Cin cinnati Enquirer.

They Would Sacrifice the Connir at the Behcet of the Money Chancer. Senator Chaudler of Now Hampshire, referring to the recent utterances of Cleveland and Carlisle, says: "Cleveland's speech was characteris tic, but Mr. Carlisle's remarks were es pecially important, because they indi cate that the gold Democrats have en tirely gone over to the money power. They are in favor of gold ' monometal lism to the last degree and will not lis ten to even a suggestion of the remon etization of silver by an international agreement. I believe that the main tenance of the single gold "taudard means ruin, and I earnestly desire to see bimetallism secured. These gold Democrats apparently have uo concern for the welfare of the couutry, but would sacrifice everything to the be hests of the money changers. The more that they unfold their' plans the less will be their chance of adding to their numbers. " For the Campaign Only. The gold Democrats are beginning to worry over the mysterious disappear ance of the gold Republicans of lust year. The gold Republicans, it appears, were for campaign purposes only. The BeneBcent Triut. That new national trust company to loan money to the farmers is probably an outgrowth of the last campaign's revelations concerning the possibilities of bloodsucking. , No Concern of Hale. Senator Hale is desperately afraid tbut the United States may be involved iu war with Spain. This need not con cern Hale if he sticks to bis former mil itary record. Gold Men Pleated. Japan has received very high praise from the gold men for making her sil ver dollars 60 cent dollars. Klkin Should Be jtnawered. Says Senator Elkins: "Wages in America must go down. Wage earners do not wish to see it or believe it, but it is so. Wages in America stand against a revival of business. " Senator Elkins should get bis answer in the next congressional elections, and it should be repeated in every state of the Union in 1SI00. - RUSHES The Clondyke Exodus. . The Clondyke mania has struck Ore gon Cily, snd it is hitting hard. Your breakfast is spiced with Clondyke, it creeps into one's lunch and gets mixed up with the dinner soup. It Is clondyke sods and ice cream ; Olondj ke blankets nd clothing; it is even mixed up with the minister's sermons aud prayers. la . fact, Clondyke and its gold are on every tongue, and five out of every ten of the population would like to Uke passage for the icy cold fields of the far off north. Notwithstanding the fact that a trip to the Clondyke gold field 4 means pos sible privations Innumerable, and may mean death, it is receiving the same insistent attention that was directed to. the California gold mines l'i 1849.

HOWLING AT BRYAN. Tb Bcpnbllcan Pre Lose No Opportu nity to Attack Him. When it was announced that Mr. Bryan would address a Labor day gath ering fu New York city the Republican press howled about his cuteriug to the labor vote. When he announced that it was a mistake aud that ho would not be in New York city on Labor day the Re publican press howled that be was afraid to go to that hotbed of gold bugism. When it vu uunounced that Mr. Bryan would make some speeches in the First cougresNiouul district of Missouri the Republican press vociferously de manded that he attend to his own busi ness and let the &Ii."ioriauH attend to theirs. When be announced that previ ous engagements would prevent him from making any speeches in the Firxt congressional district of Missouri the Republican press soulfully yelled that be was afraid to try the silver iue at this stage of the game.
