AXAXAECHIST'S VIEW, When anarchists in this country give nt terance to expressions, such as Most of New York used ujnin the death of President Carnot. and such as the following which he published in his paper last week, it is time that this government dealt vigorously with him and all men of his class. The day has gone by when under the guise of personal liberty a being who respects neither God, man, the devil, nor the organized forms of society, should be permitted to stir up and en, bitter public feeling against the govern' nient and all social institutions of a civil ized country. His words in public follow, ing the assassination were much more an tagonistic to law and society than the fol lowing, taken from bis paper: " This w as not only the atonement for the official murder of Ravachol, Yaillant and Henri, but also for the innumerable judicial and police barbarities practiced during Car nots administration npon innumerable an archists and other workmen. Carnot did not only sign the questionable death sen tence in cold blood, he was also in perfect accord with the scurvy trickery of reaction aries and the enemies of freedom. He de clared himself the helper of his associates in crime of the reactionary party and at the same time himself as the representative and the personification of class rule of the French bourgeois, which at the present shows itself the dirtiest and bloodiest mass of corruption that ever encumbered the crust of the earth, just as the bloody week in May looms conspicuously forth. " Who shed tears over the body of the ex ecuted one? Only rascals and assassins; but not one amang the oppressed and suf fering mourned the tyrant's death. Rather tears of joy and thanksgiving were shed by the enlightened of all countries. 'Then know, 0 ye rich and ye powerful, ye have yourselves brought it about that there Is only one leeling left on the earth of those ye have trodden down a burning sense ol rage and hatred. When the time comes for you to be purged from the face of the earth like the poisonous worm with pitch, sulphur and fire, then you will hear nothing but songs of rejoicing and singing in your ears." Herr Most concludes with a glowing eu logy of the anarchist assassin and talks of bim as "a brave, good fellow,'' whose martyrdom, when it comes, will be well worthy of revenge. Under this appropriate heading the Tele phone-Register of McMinnvllle jays: Vn less our country refuses admission to the horde of anarchists, socialists, and other enemies of society who will now be driven from Kuroe by the various governments, the United States will be the scene of crimes similar to the one committed in Lyons, There must be a limit to the liberties of men, who, hen given the free exercise of speech and the expression of thought, com nit crimes against a government based upon the greatest good to the largest num ber. This country has witnessed the assas sination of two presidents, and In its pres ent condition, with a party that has Incor porated in its platform all the ideas of cranky men in order to add to its strength, these foreigners will naturally drill to it be cause of its opposition to the present sys tem. Unknowingly, Americans, as mem bers of the populist party, and Interested in good government, are sowing the seeds of anarchy, socialism and discontent. Under our system of government there is no place for a third parly. Republicans and demo crats are alike interested in good govern ment and a continuation of the rights and liberties decreed to the people by the con stitution. The parties diller in but the method of carrying out the spirit of the con stitution, and would unite as one mass in opposition to anarchy. There should not be an atom of sympathy in the heart of the true American citizen for anarchy, ami he should most assiduously apply himself to the extirpation of this most un-American theory ol the rights of others. CoMMKNTittu on the governor's perni cious policy in turning out the inmates of the pen, the State Journal says: A few days ago Coventor I'minorcr pardoned out of the penitentiary nine convicts, Including several murderers, ljist Tuesday h par doned out six more. One was a murderer and tin others were burglars and thieves. This makes II It con desperate criminals turned loose on mx-lcty hy the governor In about two weeks, or at the rate of one or more each day. This la faster than the courts and officer ol the law can " run the scoundrels In." It the governor keeps up his present activity lie will empty the peni tentiary during the next six niaiitha. WHY CHEAP WJIE.1T? The Toledo Wade, in discussing the financial depression, says: It is strange that so many of our farmers endeavor to find a political reason for the low price of wheat, instead of informing themselves on the tacts which govern the market. How manv ol them know that Argentina is exporting more wheat to Eu rope than is the United States not count ing the flour we semiT Yet it is tact a stubborn fact, and one which means injury to our farmers. ot only has Argentina already sur passed us as a shipper of wheat to Eu rope, but she has attained to ber present su periority so rapidly that if she maintains her pace we shall be hopelessly left in the rear. Why is Argentine wbeat preterm! to ours? Because her finances are so deranged that she must sell at any sacrifice at any price. It takes $20,000,000 a year to pay the inter est on the national debt to foreigners and ou the English capital Invested in private enterprises. The depreciation in ber paper currency aids the export trade, Mid the farmers of the United States are made to suffer. As a result, 50 cent whent at Chicago is among the probabilities. Ox a of the noted 8ttulebaker brothers said at Tacoma the other day: "I trained every one of my children to work, My lxy I put in the blacksmith shop as a helper and let him work his way to the front, llu is now cashier. A more serviceable man I could hardly find. He neither drinks, chews nor smokes, nor does he swear. My wife taught our daughter to do all kinds of housework. They go Into the kitchen and put up a meal fit for any taste. They sweep and straighten up the house generally." liuln cannot come upon this land as long as its eople exult patriotism mid labor. Children thus brought up are fitted to rope with life no matter in what station their lot may full, AsoTiimof the outgoing otIUvrs In this county is C. . (lanong who has served as sherltl' for the past two years. While he has doubtless made mistakes which no limit perhaps appreciates more than himself, it may tie said of the otllce during his Incum bency that it has been well conducted i(h no bail breaks to mar it. In this connec tion the E.itkkpuisk wishes to commend the faithful, painstaking and efficient service rendered by Mr. E. (.'. llm kett who so com. teouslv filled the position of clerk In the sheritrs otllce. He w as the right man in the right place. MINUS AND LOAN AfWGTlATIO'NH, THE DELAYED MAILS. In the light of the present difficulties, when the Canadian Pacific is carrying mails as usnal, the following from the Victoria Colonist is not as much of a commendation for Uncle Barn's mail service as it was at the time of the flood, when it was written; We find that Montreal letters and papers dated the 7th instant were received in Seat tle on the evening of the 13th. How is it that a Canadian mail Is received in an Uni ted States city of the ('oast some days before it reaches the Canadian cities? We say nothing about the non-arrival of the mails that were on the way when the floods first rendered tbeC. P. R. impassable; but surely the post office authorities might have be stirred themselves to have the later mails forwarded by the first road that was open It is not pleasant for the inhabitants of Canadian cities who are put to great lncon enience for the want of their letters that are on their way to the Coast to find that their neighbors of the Sound cities get their mails from Eastern Canada long before theirs reach the Coast. On Monday there was a change in some of the offices in the court house as a result of the recent election. Owing to the fact that most of the officers had served but one term, and were therefore re-elected, the changes are fewer than usual. The only exception to the second term rule which is usually conceded to officers by the republi can party, was in the case of the county judge, against whom there was so much censure that he was not renominated, While the Enterprise did not fully agree with Judge Meldrum in his administration of the county's aflairs, it appreciated the fact that be was striving faithfully and con scientiously to do the business intrusted to him In such a way as should best promote the eonnty's good. We believe that his Ian for the improvement of the county roads should have had a fuir and impartiul trial instead of being subject to blind oppo sition and unjust criticism. Notwithstand ing the fact that he was turned down in obedience to this clamor we believe that time will vet demonstrate that his plan or a modification of It will yet be found to be the best for the roads of the county. Mistakes be doubtless made, but we believe that the ultimate verdict on bis administration will be much different from the opposition which resulted in his retirement, and that as the result of his policy, especially in road matters, is felt, he will be com mended. Will Employ New Ben. Tacoma, July 2. The Northern Fuiilic begun oerutiiig trains toilay with non union crows, the engineers having re fused individually, out of sympathy, to work. Two trains were sent to Seattle, one to Portland, and one arrived from Scuttle, all with non-union engineers and firemen. A train arrived from Portland at 9 I'. M , with union men in the cab. One switch engine is working with a non-union crew. Assistant Gen eral Superintendent Dickinson today or dered all superintendents to employ new men, guaranteeing them employment under the same rules and regulations that previously governed employes, and telling them that they will receive, all the protection that the federal courts can give them, Up to 6 P. M. nearly 100 applications had been received, the ap plicants being engineers, firemen, wipers, switchmen, etc. Tne 8:20 train from Seattle brought 25 non-union applicant two of whom. 10 minutes Inter, took the second train out to Seattle. Anarobliti Aiianinated Carnot Pakim, June 28. Detectives in Mont IH'lier decided to search the house of a man named Granier, w ho was heard to remark last Sunday: "I'.y tlim time Carnot must hayo received his quieluH," When Granier's hoUHe was surrounded and the detectives broke in the door, Granier, who was eating supper, spramt to his feet. He picked up a long and ebarp knife, plunged it into his abdo men, with a few swift turns difiembowled himself. He expired almost imtuedu-ately. The police authorities say they have established beyond a doubt that Santo, Granier, Laborie. who was arrested Monday and others not yet in cuntoday plotted tho death of President Carnot in order to avenge the execution Ituvuchol, Yaillant and Henri. Santo will be tried July 2.'ld for parricide, In. sted of murder. The penal code decrees an attempt against the head of the state shall be bo described and punished Santo will be conducted to the place of IX A JfUT SHELL. This is the way the Astoria Budget states the labor problem which is just now agitat ing and inconveniencing the public on ac count of the railroad tieup. It says : " The right of every man to ' refuse to work for another for any reason, for the merest fancy or whim, is absolute, and it is not only unquestionable, but In the fullest measure frankly conceded. The right, however, of every man to employ whom it pleases him to employ, or the right of any man to work forany one whom he pleases, is unquestionable and should be as freely conceded. If any person or per sons should dispute this privilege of the em ployer to employ w hom he pleases, or of Abe employe to Work for whom it pleases The Astoria Budget says that the sensa tional and rabid sentiments concerning the assassination of Carnot, in an interview with Johann Most, the wild-eyed leader of the New York anarchists, is ample as surance that the time has arrived when the strong arm of the law should throt tle the last one of these long-haired and murderous devils. It shows a lack of nerve or something equally as essential on the part of the government, when bodies of fan atics, composed of such blood-thirsty fiends as Most, can openly proclaim their joy at the cruel murder af the French president, and advocate that the same methods be em ployed in the extermination of other ofll cials." execution in with his head of a shirt, barefooted and covered by a black veil Tn evils of bad roads are admitted by everybody. Unfortunately we are unable to give the necessary data as to the actual money loss which they entail. This loss consists in the unnecessary wear and tear of borses, harness and vehicles, the delays In getting to market and from place to place, and the inability to haul more than half loads; which several Items, It is perhaps entirely safe to say, aggregate every year a sum amply sufficient to pay the annual in terest on a loan of money that would suffice to put all the public roads of the country in a first-class condition for fifty years to come. Commissions!! Eaib closes a four years term of office as county commissioner with credit to himself. He has essayed no brilliant methods but has sought by pains taking business methods to do hla work well, and be leaves the office pretty gen erally esteemed by the people of the county.

According to the Troutdale paper Multnomah roads must suffer on ac count of lack of funds since it says that tho county roadway to the Columbia river over the Columbia slough country is wrecked, and the prospects of getting it repaired this year are very slender. The county has no money for making repairs. Among the exceptions from the Income tax In the proposed larllf bill are savings and loan societies which only make loam to their own members, This Is eminently just, since the members of these nssocla tioniareof thitl thrifty class that plan for the future, to provide a home out of their sometimes small earnings, or Inlay upsonte- Ihlnil for a "riunyday," To tax the sav lugs and accumulations or such people would he to place a burden on thrill and to dlsi-oiiiage economy. Savings and Umn Associations or llmltllng and Loan Assoc In lioiii have now been In existence Tor over fifty years In the United States, and for a much longer period In Europe, There are, at the present lime, over ft) association In the United States with a membership ex ceeding I'lOO.tA) and an aggregate capital of $,.V),X,0Hi). The unequalled success of well-conducted associations has Justly earned and well de serves the respect and confidence of all clusses. No other form of Investment of savings has proved so uniformly successful and profitable, An eminent jurist says: "The Idea which first gave rise to their Institution, which furnishes their ostensible and legiti mate reason for existence, and which se cured to them their popularity, ami, in many respects, their exceptionally favored exist ence More the In w, I that of enabling per sons belonging to a class whosvearulngs are small, ami with whom the slow nets of acca initiation discourages the effort lo become, by process of gradual saving, either at the end of a certain period or by anticipation J of it, the owners of homesteads. They are another form of savings bank system with, as experience has shown, even more safely against loss, and with the advantage of al lowing a member to anticipate the event mil profit." And Justice Sherwood of Penii'Vlvanla said: "Thousands of these associations have teen orgauld and been wound up without their names ever ap.iearlng on the diK ket of tht court, and millions of dollars have been accumulated of scanty wages. lionet cr It may lie elsewhere, Philadelphia has become emphatically a city of comfort able homes for the oor by means of these orgnniiations." An Association of this kind, Willamette Savings and Loan Association, was recently organixtd In this city, and we have already given the names of the lncororators in the EftTKHraisx. The object of this asso ciation Is: lirst To provide a safe and profitable investment for the earnings of lis mem bers and lo loan Its capital ai d accrued prof its to members who desire to own their o n homes, and Second To keep at home the funds which otherwise would be absorbed by out side corporations. The capital stock of this association is to be VA),0).W, divided into fino shares. The capital will be paid up by monthly instalments of sixty cents per month, and it is expected that the shares will mature before nine years. In order to profit by the experience of other similar associations, it has adopted all of their best features and wisest methods. Loans w III be made to members that build homes hi and around Oregon City only, and the rale of interest will bv eight per cent per annum. AlxMit onejitiudrcd ami fifty shares h already been subscribed, ami so soon as hundred and fitly shares are taken the as sociation will organize and issue its first se ries of shares, The subscription book Is now oien and ready lor signers lo the first series, and ap plication for membership ran be made to E.

Any one who desires to live In his own home should become a member, ami If pos sible In the first scries; and those who have something to lay by every month will find this association a safe and profitable savings bank. The business of the association will be conducted by the members through a board of directors who will be chosen at the first stockholders' meeting.
