WHAT IS PARTY FEALTY T With taxes lacking but one mill of being four i-er cent, in Oregon City, and the re publican party so effectually beaten at the late election, that, from a republican major ity of 500 votes bad in former elections, the party only succeeded in electing two jus tices and three constables, loosing the entire county. ejtilative and congressional ticket, it is time that a protest was raised at the manner in w hich the republican party in Clankamas county has been run. This county is one of the wealthiest in the state, with a population of nearly 23,000, and bus been one of the banner republican counties ol Oregon for years and there is no financial or political reason that tales should be so hign and the strength of the republican party at such a low guae. That this disaster to the republican party was brought about by the republican voters abandoning the principles ot their party, is not admitted by even those who voted with the populists last June, but it was plainly nd forcibly a protest at the manner in which some of the county otllcers had con ducted their offices and at the way the re publican primaries and convention were run. Yet, for daringtoexposethe workings of a certain gang of republicans, whose party zeal is measured by the revenue there is in it for them, the Enterprise is accused of being a populist organ and its edjtor ecrrtelv working in the interest of that party As to the justness of the protest of the Enterprise and its exposure of the work of some of the county officials and party leaders, this paper is willing to leave it to the judgment of the republican voters of Clackamas county. The Enterprise can not, and will not, hold or advocate that fealty to the republican party demands that its members blindly follow the lead ol every knave that may gain control of the conventions or uphold and condone wrong doing on the part of officials put into office by republican votes. There has been too much of that done in Clackamas county with the result that the party, so far as local politics are concerned, has lost its prestaire and the high standard of honor that has always characterized the republi can organization. There are yet republcan voters enough in this county to carry it by a handsome majority lor McKiuley this fall and to elect the entire ticket at the next state election, but they can not be held together by white washing and covering up the unscrupulous work of party leaders or the dishonesty of public officials. The only war for the re publics party to regain the confidence of the voters of Clackamas county is to dis own and kick out, this gang of for-revenue-only leeches and to have as leaders or candi dates only men who are known to be of strict integrity and honor. him a txpe written copy of any legal paper in the court house. As the court House is closed promptly at A p. in be was never known to remain after that hour and work over time to make up the lime he had used that belonged to the taxpayers of Clackamas county. It was just such tax-eating as this pian Lawrence was doing that was a power ful factor in defeating the republican party at the late election. Tub Oregon Industrial Exposition will open at Portland, Saturday evening Sep tember IU, and continue one month. As an r.xpotitiou or the resources, ptouuets aod industries ol the entire I'acltic North west, it will far surpass any of ita predecel sore. Its Unsocial success is Assured by I guaranty fund, and with this to rely upon the managers have gone ahead w ith bold ness and con lidence to gather the most com plete exhibit of everything entering into the life and prosperity of this region ever brought together. Manv alterations are being made in the interior aif augements of the huge structure in which the fair is held especially in providing greater facilites for the enjoyment of visitors. Special attention Is being paid to those who attend in many ways besides the music and exhibits. Every night something special will be given for the amusement of visitors. Frequent excursi ons, at extremely low rates of fare, will be run on all railroads, and special rates will be given at other times on all lines in Ore gon, v ashington and Idaho, iiotti in tne variety and quality of th exhibits and in its special attractions the fair will be far superior to any of Its predecessors. No decision has as yet been received from Judge McBride in the injunction suit tried before him at Astoria last Thursday to prevent ElSheritt Maddock from selling the properly on the delinquent tax roll and compel him to proceed according to law so Ibat the sale and titles given would be legal. Maddock went ahead last Saturday and sold the property of all persons not specifi cally mentioned by name in the injunction, claiming that the injunction did not cover tbeir property As to the correctness of his proceedings that will be settled by the judge's decision, though the best attorneys of this city and Portland hold that be had no right to make the sale until the injunc tion was dissolved, if the court allowed him to proceed, as the complaint included all ersons on the delinquent list who were similarly situated to those specifically named and the entire list was made of a part of the complaint. As Maddock has deliberately ignored the law in every step be bas taken in the handling of the tax roll from the time he filed bis bond last spring until his break of last Saturday, nothing better could have been expected of bun. FtNtMNii that their paper had attained such an unenviable notoriety thniughou (he county by reason ol their deal with Sheriff Maddock on the lax list deal, tin publishers of the Three Sisters have change Hie nam of the pair to the Press, The change of name will not lessen the con tempt In w hlch the paper and Its publishers are held in throughout Clahkamas county for the people have learned of their dlshon est methods and will have nothing to d with the paper, as is attested by the w hole sale refusals that greet the country post masters when they attempt to hand out Ih paper to the parlies to whom it bas been aodrvssetl as alleged subscribers. Senator Mitchell arrived home from Washington last Monday and commenced at once lo prepare for work In the campaign now on. He eaks at Woodbum on Fri day, Septemtr 4, under the auspices of the Marlon county republican central commit' tee. The committee is planning to make this one of the great rallies of the campaign and as the place of meeting is convenient lo the south part of this county, it is expected that Clackamas county will be well repre sented at the rally. Wi hear a great deal In this election about "classes and masses," which is an expres siou imported from England, where they have the bouse of commons representing the masses and the bouse ol lords to repre sent Ih classes. In tills country there is no such distinction. We do have wise peo ple and ignorant, rich and poor, but the distinction between classes and masse is iinossil(le. Tiie fearful blunder of l.vrj and not the mythical crime of IS?:l, Is the cause of this country's distress. With Hie rectifying of (hat blunder at the presidential election this fall, the cry ot bard times will soon cease In the land. llot KKi Cochran struck a true McKinley note when he said: "I know of no test ol prosperity absolutely infallible, except the rate of wages paid to laborers." Letter List. The following is the list of letters remain ing in the post office at Oregon City, Oregon, on August 'Jii, men's list. Tbk treasury department has prepared a pamphlet of M pages, answering, as nearly as can be foreseen, the questions asked and expected to be asked on financial questions.

Had the publisher of the Kktekpkibe had bis hand in the public crib like this for-revenue-only official has had for the last four years it is probable that he would have bad a fat bank account instead of a wealth of book accounts that yield little cash. This man Lawrence lield the position of deputy recorder in the court house and while drawing a good salary from Clackamas county, acted as correspondent for the Oregonian, and times innumerable was seen on the streets during ofliee hours gathering up news matter for his a,er. To farther add to bis revenue tie would made out a deed for any person applying while our notary publics and lawyers bad tbeir blanks lying Idle in their desks and a lawyer could at any time get of Ci.ackaxai is the only county in the state that enjoys the distinction of having two sheriffs, each drawing a salary, for the last two months. If it is (be fault of the law, then the law should be amended at the earliest possible day, for it is an unjust bur den on the taxpayers of the county, who are already overloaded with the expenses of the county government, but if the county court is at fault, it would be well for them to heed the public demand for retrench ment and economy, and have as few special officers about the court house as possible. Other than the collection of taxes, there is scarcely any business in the sheriff's ofllre during July and August, and Sheriff Grace and Deputy Grout nave hardly earned their office rent during these past two months, and to run a second sheriff's office in a jury room upstairs, with the salary that is tiie all-important feature to Ex-Sheriff Mad dock, is an outrage that the taxpayers will resent so somebody will understand one of these days. S'--'m -'Via V "i-Mr" iV 'Yi""" FOR CLATSKANIE Nevek in the history of political parties in this country has there been such a bolt of newspapers as has taken place within the past month from the democratic party. There are over two hundred demo cratic papers, that heretofore have stood staunch by the party nominees, that are now opposing the candidates of the Chicago convention. The surrender of the conven tion to the populists with their fiat money ideas, was too much for these papers, and now they are either working for McKinley or for the independent nomination of a sound money democrat. As newspapers reflect the drift of popular opinion, it can be readily seen how deep is the break in the democratic party and of the ellect itwill have on the results of the coming presidential election. The publishers of the "Three Liars" seek to hide their dishonesty by making false statements and juggling with figures in re gard to bills the Knteri'Iiibe bas had against Clackamas county. As to the tax list, the Enterprise published it last year for just half the rate paid the Courier In the three previous years. All other charges against the county were based on the rate charged private individuals, and no job work or tax list was ever secured by the Enterprihe by means of tbe dishonest methods practiced by Lawrence & Bain in their deal witb Mad dock (or the tax list Steamer G.
