On lav Saturday at an adjourned term of the circuit court, Judge McBride handed down t is derision in tbe delinquent tax sale injunction suit. The full text of the order and opinion will be found in another col umn. The suit was brought to test the legality of the reckless method in vogue in several counties of the state, in not follow ing out the statutory provisions as laid down in the Oregon law books. Another object in bringing tbe suit was to prevent tbe culmination of conspiracy to rob the taxpayers of the count; by printing tbe de linquent tax list before the farmers had an opportunity of raising money to pay their taxej. Last year the delinquent tax list was pub lished in September, thus giving many of the people an opportunity to pay their taxes before the delinquent list was advertised. The amount paid the E.ntehpbise last Octo ber for printing tbe delinquent tax list for 1801, was IY2, while on tbe otber hand, the county court last week paid Lawrence fc Bain 129o.G0 lor publishing the list for 18U5. These figures show bow tbe conspirators succeeded in robbing tbe county. In his opinion, tbe Judge arraigns the sheriff for gross negligence in not making the sheriff's return and in his omitting to search for and levy upon personal property when tbe same was available. While be dissolves the injunction on the ground of a technicality, be pronounces the sheriffs sale absolutely void and the expense of ad vertising practically thrown away. Again Judge McBride says: "If the case bad been brought earlier to restrain the incurring of a useless debt fur advertising, 1 would nave been inclined to have restrained such adver tisement until the forms of law had been complied with, so that the county or the purchaser wanted to get a clear title, but that expense has now been incurred, and tbe county, if liable at all, for the expense of advertising, (concerning which I express no opinion), could not be benefitted by now enjoining the sale." Tlie Judge pronounces the whole proceed ings of the tax sale void, and did not authorize the countv court to pay the bill of advertising, which tbe judge and one of tbe commissioners did, without due considers tion. They knew full well that the bill was exhorbitaut, and that the costs of sale not already illegally paid by lax-payers, could not be collected, and would have to come out of the county treasury, A gigantic j fraud has been perpetrated on Clackamas county ami the stockholders in the deal have no doubt received their divy and are enjoying their ill-gotten gains, but the tax payers loot the bills. t.MTKD ORGANIZATION. The plan of club organization adopted by tbe republican forces in the present cam paign, is peculiarly significant of the earn est desire of the masses for the perpetuation of sound money principles and a protective policy. Men engaged in business realize that the country is in danger, and that the election of Bryan means a possible financial panic, the like of which has never occured in the history of the United States. Never before has there been such active interest manifested by active business men in club organization. The hard, cold fact stares them In the face, that unless McKlnley is elected every opportunity to revive the pros perity of the country is gone for a number of years fo come. It means ruin to the business of the country ; the land will be Hooded with tramps, poverty will abound, and the United States will be a nation of paupers; foreign corporations will control the capital and manufactures, and the com-, j mon ople will tie on t ar villi the ai'rfi of Kiiisia. Ills well Unit llio bnsliiPM men of the country ure snake nlng lo Hie iircils of the hour, anil re leieling lirlinK Imnil to ivure Hit lretin of MiKinley. Hereto fore a majority of tlie luiliir men live maintained an acparent ilenl ai'Stliv hcii Hie country a lalorltig In tlie threes of mi intense reMilential i-ainai),'n. The i ora tions tliat confront us now ure ol the ureal- est moment, ami the business mnn, the manufacturer, the farmer anil the laUirer, who have Intelligently atniliel the situation. know that the countv is in Imminent dan iter. It is of the utmost importance, then, that we push the work of club orgauliatlon and continue the educational plan hy the circulation of campaign literature. Hhowmi.l boasts Ibat he is the custodian of Senator Millicells interests In Clackamas county, and threatens lo set down on every cititen, who does not toady to him, in the event that Mr. Mitch ell is re-elected I'uited States Senator. Residents of Clackamas county, who have known Senator Mitchell mice he first hung out his law sign in Portland, known full well that he does not become a boon com panion to a Kansas carpet bagger, who left that state because he had lost his standing with both the republicans and populists. Brownell sowed tbe seeds of discord that wrecked the republican party in Clackamas county last June, and unless he stops inter fering with republican club organizations In this campaign, there is great danger of Clackamas county giving Bryan a majority next November. A professional man who expresses a preference for Brownell, says Ibat he is liable at any time to slab his old friends, Hayes and Maddock in tlie back; that he knows no such a thing as friendship. His little tricks in law practice are suggestive of the shyster order. Vmpir the ruling of Judge McBride made in his opinion printed in another column, people whose taxes are delinquent, are not required lo pay the costs on property sold for taxes this year, for the reason tliat the whole proceedings are void. Neither could they be made to pay the delinquent taxes for the same cause, unless the whole pro ceeding was done over again. At any rate, people whose property has been sold for taxes, are very foolish lo pay any costs of sale. The Judge says, "But atn clearly of the opinion that the costs of this sale can. not be collected legally from the arsons whose property is sold, and any attempt to hold them fur such costs upon redemption under these sales w ill involve needle litiga tion, which the county mav easily avoid Mokdat i election in Maine was a de cided victory for sound moneir and protec tion, and the good news was received with as much joy all over the country, as the early breuking up of a hard winter. Maine rolled up the largest majorities in its his lory and Powers was elected governor by plurality of 50,00. The congressional ticket was all elected, and the populists lost heav ily. Hon. Thomas B. Reed was returned to congress by 10 1X0 plurality. Vermont and Maine have done nobly, and sounded the key-note of success fur November. It begins to look as though it was a question of how big McKinley'a majority will be in November. Is his decision. Judge McBride ssserts that there is no excuse for the sheriff shirk ing the duty of first levying upon prorlv in tbe matter of collecting delinquent taxes, no matter if it has been the practice of some other sheriffs. In not doing this he vio lated his oath of office, makes bis bondsmen liable, and as Judge McBride further says "Tbe sale is absolutely void, and the ex pense of advertising practically thrown away." The sheriffs failure lo comply with the requirements of the statute, has caused serious loss to the county, for the reason that people would not bid in property at delinquent tax sale, when they knew the title would be defective The Salem Statesman makes the follow, ing pointed comments on the gold possibil ities of the country, should Bryan be elected "The only gold this country would have in sight a few days after tbe election of Mr Bryan would be the gold brick palmed olf on it in the confidence game now going on Brother Skinner, who lives at the end of tlie main thoroughfare over in XX'est Salem knows bow that is though his vocabulary does not contain words of sufficient number and length, breadth and profundity to ex press tbe feeling." The manner in which the de'imjuent tax sale in Clackamas county was conducted this year, indicates reckless negligence or gross incompetency on the part of the oil! cials. o attention, whatever, was paid lo the regulations laid down in the statute books governing the selling of property for delinquent taxes. As a consequence the sale is void, and the parties who hid in property at the lax sale have no title to the property and cannot collect the costs they have paid out. Brownem. & 0'amphki.l put in a bill of $75 to the county court for services rendered in tlie Hargreaves Maddock injunction suit, but the court cut down the hill to $"i0, men tney witndrew tlie same, and now threaten to sue the county for $U0 Did not Brownell claim that he was sheriff Mad dock's legal advisor, and is it possible that they have refused to whack up with him on the proceeds of the delinquent tax sale! XX'ho is skinning Clackamas county? It is still a mystery what has become of Sberifl Maddock's report, which was sud denly missing from the vault in the court house, when it was wanted in a suit before the circuit court. However, a certified copy of the same was made lor a Portland attorney just before it turned up missing, and they thwarted in their des gns Such is the practice of shysters. Juiiuk McBkide virtually bints that the only way to correct the tax titles lo the property recently sold by the sheriff would be to have a re-sale made according to law, But, of course, such a procedure would be impracticable now.
