No other section snve only Salem ! objects to the soldiers' home leiti(? located j in lioselmrg or some other Rood town out side of the state capital, or the insane asy j luin in Enstern Oregon. Why then docs jthe Kovicw purpose tin it i iir with the only opponent which it has in this matter for j the good of Salem and to the injury of other j sections which are not objecting? The adjoining column ot the same issue ' of the Review contains the following much ' more sensible proposition, in which that paper can hope lor assistance trom those sections of the state which, like Douglas county, are paying tribute. It says: "If the people of Salem should secure the location of the soldiers' home and all other state institutions at that place, the Review will pledge a solid delegation from Douglas county in the next legislature fa voring; the removal of the state capital to the town that will bid highest for it. East ern and Southern Oregon will stand together on this proHsition, and the attempt of a couple of simple-minded Salem editors to pass itotf as mere cheap talk is all non sense. Down this w ay we are in dead earn est, because everybody here would prefer Portland to Salem for a capital city, any way." Salem can take refuge behind the state ; constitution and insist on getting all the plums, bat the people ol the state are be hind the constitution, and if the Capital City acts too hoggish the constitution may be changed, and the order of things slightly altered. Sacramento is in danger of losing the capitol, her one source of revenue. Sa lem may do well to protit by the condition confronting the capital of our neighboring state. Come to think of it we are inclined to think that it would be a good plan to change both the constitution and the loca tion of the capitol, for only in this way can Oregon ever hope to get a decent looking state house, as the one we now have is too good to throw away and not bad enough to condemn. USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS. Tub decision ol the supreme court in re versing the finding of the lower court in the Henderson case will do much to breed con tempt for law and thecotirts in this county, where atrocious crimes have too often gone unpunished or the H-rpelrators escapo with but a light sentence entirely Incommensu rate with the enormity of the crime com mitted. The feeling generally among the people upon receipt of the decision was that the result, would be another insiguilicant sentence with a possible pardon to shorten even that, and that a mail who has proven himself an unsafe person to he in a commu nity would thus escape adciiatc punish ment to be turned loose on society where he can again maim and kill. The decision is not liked here a little bit. The people of Oregon City should take In terest in the fact that unless the east side of thejriver or city proper arouses to the situa tion and does something for itself In the near future, a new, more prosperous and larger city will shortly spring up as a mush roomalmost in a night. That city will he at the other end of the bridge and w ill he the dog while this side will he tho caudal appendage. ' Po you who own property and whose itifn's's are or. this side want to see this? In the existing condition of affairs when !he gold reserve is being invaded the finan cial situation i not calculated to make money cheap or confident. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat would stop redeeming notes in gold and concludes that this policy if adopted would quickly disperse all mon etary clouds. This conclusion is probably not warranted by the facts, yet the article in the main is worth careful consideration. It says: "In the present conditions the suspension of gold payments in redemption of the treas ury notes of 1800 would be a wise proceed ing. The report that secretary Carlisle in tends to take this course ought to be true if it is not. The act under which these notes are issued gives the Secretary the privilege of redeeming them in gold or silver coin at his option. They are, in the language of the act, 'redeemable on demand in coin,' but it is further provided that the Secretary shall, ' under such regulations as he may prescribe.' redeem them 'in gold or silver coin at his discretion.' The practice has been along to this time to redeem them in gold when gold was asked for, as a refusal to do this, in the opiuion of successive treas ury chiefs, would be popularly considered a sort of confession of national insolvency, and might cause a run on the treasury and start a panic. " In the present exigency, however, gold payments for these notes could safely be re fused. There are good reasons for the be lief that speculators are using the notes to force gold out of the treasury with the hope of sending that metal to a premium. All along this currency has been a menace to the gold reserve. As it is receivable for all dues to the government as well as a legal tender for all private debts, except where expressly stipulated otherwise in the con tract, it is presented at the custom house, and thus displaces gold to that extent. It keeps gold from getting into the treasury, and in being presented for redemption in gold it draws large sums of that metal out of the treasury. That is to say, it attacks the treasury reserve in two directions. As these presentations for redemption begin to reveal evidences of a conspiracy against the gov ernment, no more gold should be paid out at the treasury for these notes until this cri sis ends. "There is not the faintest reason to fear that a panic would be caused by the stoppage of gold payments for these silver notes. The business interests, understanding the situation, and knowing that the suspension would be only temporary, would not be alarmed, while the general public would hardly get excited enough to start a run on the treasury or on the banks. There is suffi cient common sense in the communty to ward oir any danger of raids on our finan cial institutions and to protect our indus trial and commercial interests. Indeed, such suspension would be likely to result in prompt and direct benefit to the treasury. The speculators would see that their designs would be thwarted, and the public would discover that the men at the head of ad'airs saw the perils to which the gold reserve was exposed and were resolved to prefect It at all hazards. A little courage and decision in this emergency on the part of Messrs. Cleveland and Carhse would quickly dispel all the monetary clouds, and restore the sunshine of financial confidence." Railroads have given halt fares to all sorts of conventions and they can htlord to do it now. We think they are making a grave mistake in so small reduction of fares to the Columbian exposition. Why give half fares to political conventions lusting a week or less and deny them to a great exhi bition where millions wish to go? They ought to and will profit largelv by the fair, but they will not gain ultimately by pursu ing a fleecing policy. CONSTITUTION' AND BY-LAWS Of the Clackamas County Horticultural Society, Adopted April IK, HIM. A most wonderful thing has hnpeued in Chicago. The city treasurer, in resigning his custodianship of the city funds to his successor in otlice has performed the grace ful act of giving to the people the people's share of the interest on their money. Much surprise is manifested that an oftioer of the people should deprive himself of a large sum which did not rightfully belong to him. The over forty thousand dollars which the city treasury gains is hut a very small part of the benefit. The notable precedent will do much to render interest-grabbing on the part of public custodians of the people's money distinctly a waning art. Many states will not permit the custodians of the public funds to place the money in their charge at interest, but if interest is to accrue to the benefit of any one, w ho has a better right to profit by its use than the people who pay It into the treasury? The funds of the World's Fair have earned money at interest for that enterprise, which is right and just. If large funds are to be collected from the ople by taxation prior I to the time they are needed the public and j not an individual should be benefited by its use. The Oregonian commenting on recent road legislation while commending the steps taken does not consider that much yet re mains to be done before practical results follow t)ie right given to make good high ways. We fear that too few of the people yet appreciate the fact that none are too poor to build good roads and none so rich as to all'ord to do without them. This knowledge w ill come in due time and then every one will demand not better, but good roads. The Oregonian's comment is as fol lows: "The New York legislature has passed an act permitting county boards of supervisors to place the roads of the county under the charge of a competent engineer, thus following in the footsteps of Oregon, where roadmastcrs may be appointed ; but Sew York is behind Oregon in not provid ing for a termination of the old system of " working out" taxes on the road. It has required great effort to secure even such partial legislation as this. There is a league for good roads, with a special secretary in each of thirty-five of the sixty counties, and a systematic campaign to educate the public on the road question has been carried on. That Oregon has made more progress with lessell'ort shows how much easier a new community can change long-settled customs than an old one." SL1 GIIILY INCONSISTENT The Rosenurg Review is slightly incon sistent in its opposition to the Salem papers and people who want every part of the state to contribute to Salem because forsooth an antiquated constitution provides that all stute institutions shall be located at Salem. The Review first says: "If the location of the Soldiers' Home at Roseburg is enjoined by Salem people, then our citizens will see that every other institu tion situated outside of the city limits of Sa lem, and maintained by state funds is served in the same manner. Southern Oregon proposes to be heard from this time." This a curious thing. Because Salem ob jects to Roseburghavingthe Soldiers' Home the Review purposes joining forces with the people of the capital city to set on foot means to deprive other outside cities of the Speakinu of the general work of the pres ent administration Whitelaw Reid, who is now upon the Coast, says: "There isn't any. The two great questions are the tariff and Bilver and so far as we know nothing has been done with either, and there is no intention to touch either until about one fourth of the president's term has run out, Among all the wonderful things we will show visiting foreigners at the Columbian exposition this year, we shall show them nothing quite as astonishing as this: A plurality of American people electing a president declare they are being robbed. Their president takes powerand waits nearly a year before lifting a finger to stop the rob bery." This is not all ; a large majority of those who sounded so loud the praises of the Chicago free trade platform don't care whether the administration makes any change or not. Frank Lee, editor of the Northwest Pa cific Farmer, who attended the recent meet ing of the county horticultural society here was favorably impressed with the spirit manifested at the meeting and says: "The Clackamas county horticultural society, with its excellent set of officers and twenty- four active members will soon be one of the 1 strongest societies in the state, both with regard to numbers and horticultural inter est." The initial number ot the Spokand Daily Mail, a neat, newsy and well edited repub lican paper, is on our table. Eber C. Smith, who is well known throughout Eastern Washington as an able attorney, is at its head, and the first number gives promise of the Mail being an able, prosperous and in fluential journal.
