OREGON CITY, FEB. 17, 1899.
Comment on the new laws passed by
our grafting state legislature will be
published next week.
Silver Republican Knight of Clacka
mas has been a quiet member, but he
has struck hard blows for the people.
He lias the credit of getting the bill
through to lower school fund interest to
six pe: cent. This will be an' immense
benefit to the entire state, as it will
force interest down all around. Salom
Journal.
There is no other government in all
the world that Is so completely domi
neered over by the insolent advocates
of greed as is this once boasted free and
independent United States of America.
The country is governed by injunction
and ruled by the gold, the standardtoil
and several hundred other lesser trusts
all receiving their charters from the
golden fountain of fraud, hypocrisy and
Hamiltonism now known as the re
publican party.
The democrats in both houses of con
gress are almost unanimously opposed
to the annexation and permanent gov
ernment of the Philippines by the Unit
ed States. They Btand by the Declara
tion of Independence and the constitu
tion. They respect the traditional policy
of the republic. They are satisfied that
the control of this continent is enough
to satisfy any reasonable ambition for
glory. They do not believo in the ''as
eimilbtion" of 8,000,000 mongrels 10,000
miles away. They do not favor a per
manent expenditure of $200,000,000 to
support a graft of imperialism upon the
country. Jackponville Times.
If it be true as claimed, and it seems
the proof is conclusive, that the big
packing house combine turn it bed fresh'
beef that was "embalmed"' with nau
euating and disease breeding chemicals,
to feed the soldier on during the Span
ish war. why all this damfoolishness
and fol-de-rol of court marshaling army
officers? Why do not those in authority
see to it that the guilty packers are
justly, severely and swiftly punished?
They are the guilty hounds that ought
to suffer. But then they won't be
cause they helped buy the present gang
in power their president. And this is
not an idle remark or juke, either.
The monthly statement of the treas
ury department shows that in January
the public debt increased $23,448,403.
The cash in the treasury decreased dur
ing the same time $20,180,019. It would
appear, therefore, that the government
"ran behind" noarly $14,000,000 in Jan
uary. The oflicial statement further
shows that for the seven mouths of the
fiscal year ending January 31 the ex
penditures were $380,004,802, being $92,.
807,962 more than the receipts. At this
rate the increase of the public debt for
the year will be nearly $100,000,000.
And yet we are only in the vestibule of
imperialism. Was not public sentiment
wise in culling a halt?-
Turns newspapers' that act as the
apologist fur the present gold bug ad
ministration, tiro continually tilling of
the great prosperity in the land, and
yelping "calamity liowli r" at the writer
that tells the trim coudiliori if affdrs.
Yet these same papers very frequently
contain notices of the mr-etirg of ''char
ity boards" in all the cities and of the
hills allowed by city and county authot
itios to provide for the paupers, w ho are
mill in evidence. They say there is
plenty of woik, yet even this day a mil
lion men are looking in vain for em
ployment, and a million women aro ex
istitia on a scant allowance of charity,
and a million children (!o hungry to bed
every night. The man who says that
"General Prosperity" is in the saddle in
this country is a liar and traitor to his
fellow man. lint there is rr. a'er yea,
ten times greater prosperity under the
.McKinley administration POU THE
TRUSTS and robber combines than
there ever was before in this country.
However, this does not constitute gen
eral prosperity for all the people be
cause while the trusts thrive, wages of
the woi king people are reduced, taxes
are increased and the necessaries of life
are advanced in price, because they are
most all controlled by the trusts. It is
Ml "calamity howling" to write these
facts, but to yelp "calamity howl" is
the only argumont the tory press can
produco in defense of their masters.
They trust by cant phrases to befuddle
the people, but their schemes are wear
ing threadbare.

COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Every
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
Our legislators will all return, home
this week, and will now have an oppor
tunity to explain why they voted for
certain measures Road supervisors
will be elected by the people in the fu
ture, while the senarate board of com
miKsioners' bill will take effect at once,
so it is stated.
' . "
In Portland many of the people are
making a kick against the side entrances
to saloons. In Oregon City some of the
saloons are kicking because a few of
their competitors have two front en
trancesa weekday door and a Sunday
door. '
If the authorities don't stop bicycle
riding on the upper Seventh street side
walks, there may be other accidents to
chronicle soon. It's too muddy now,
for women and children to get off the
sidewalks to allow bicyclists to take the
planks. And it's a caution the way
the bikes come down the steep grades.
The bill introduced in the legislature
requiring county 1 courts to lay extra
Elanks so that engines can pass over
ridges and culverts in safety, Jailed to

THE MOLALLA MOID.
Board of Trade and Country
Committees Meet and Inspect.
President H. E. Cross, O. O. T. Wil
liams, H. H Johnson and C. H. Dye,
board of trade committee, and Sheriff
J. J.CookeJ. A. Roskn and A. W.
Cheney on Tuesday met the committees
from Molalla, Mulino and Oarus and
went over the proposed new road be
tween Cams and Mulino as well aa the
old road. Afterward the different com
mittees met in Payne's school house,
and each selected a member to act as
sub-committee of four as follows:
H. E. Cross, Oregon City; Frank
Jagger, Carus; F. M. Manning, Mulino,
and J. R. Shaver, Molalla. Frank Jag
gar was chairman of the meeting and
H. E. Cross secretary,
This sub-committee is to solicit $150
to pay for surveying both routes with
estimates of cost and grades, and report
to full committee later,
The Oregon Oity delegation agreed to
raise $75, if each of the other committees
would raise $25 each.
The committee from Molalla con
sisted of J. R. Shavei, J. R Cole, H.S.
Ramsby, 0. Robbins and Sam Engle.
Mit Cross and H. Everhart were also
present.
The Mulino committeemen were J. J.
Mallatt, O. T. Howard, M. Mulvey, l)r
Goucher, W. A. Wood side and F. M.
Manning.
Carus was represented by Frank Jag
gar, E-A. Howard, W, E. Randon, Ed
Payne, R. Sheonborn, committee, and
U. E. Spence.
As near as could be ascertained with
out a survey of the cost of the building
the new road or the old road would be
about the same,$10,000 or $12 000, pro
vided too much was not asked for dam
ages on new route, which would be a
little cheaper otherwise. On oldroad a
grade 6 to 8 per cent could be had and
on new one 4 and 5 per cent grades.
Some seemed to favor the route to con
nect with the Highland road, but this
would mske a mile more of road to
travel, although a good grade could be
secured.
In an article in last week's paper
mention was made of Sam Engle in con
nection with the road matter. This is
an error. It should have been H. En
