Nono.. better, among thouo available uudor tho olrouinstunues could havo been made, and certainly no ouo better alilo to roiiroKont the pub lic interests of Multnomah county espulally and tluiHO ol tho state gener ally could havu boon made under any conditions.

F. fteobo and othors equally iromiueut, potltiou the local public for tho election of such a man as the Itejuibllcau uomiiiou, Hon. John MoCrnkon, little doubt can possibly be left with tho oter of any class or any party as to tho wisdom of tho choice, As a matter of fact, tho integrity of Colonel Mct'rakeu as a citizen, a pio neer busluesri man and a publlu olllclal would be quite nufllclout to warrant his success in tho faco of any opisisl tiou from partisans of looal fnutlous in the contest for tho olllou for which lie lias been named. During tbe past ten years Colonel McUrakeu has served two terms as rep resentative from this county in tho state legislatuie, having boou elected iu 1RU1 and attain in 1HV5. His up right and progressive course during theso tonus in publio olllco commend lilm beyond question as a tit man for such horvk'o. Tho publio has confi dence in him and already recognizes the fact that bo possesses those quali ties of discernment and wisdom in the conduct of the peoplo'd business, as iu his own private affairs, that make him essentially valuable as a publio servaut. Colonel McUtakeu has boon in business iu Portland for a period of 4!) years, and With the old and the younger ole moots of business affairs know him well. He is now president of the Me Crakuii Warehouse Company and a member of'the I'ort of Portland com mission. In the latter capacity, as well as In his personal business attain), Mr. McCrakeu has boeu a steadfast and vigorous advocate and supporter of ory movement looking to tho proper luprovement of tho Columbia river tliumiul from Portland to tho sea, VSSF.SSOU GUKKNLKAF'S TROU 111, Is. The publio has lately become much uterested in Assessor Groouloiifs per Jiial troublesto the extent, at least, i which they havu apparently enlarged iu public's troubles, Tho public commonly has troubles lough, without sutTerlug from their gravatioii through tho private em irrimmouM of Us Hurvautd; but, if rreut report be half-way true, Cap In Grveuleaf haw utraugcly employed extioino voxation of local taxpnyorH. It is now olinruml, in current roport, that AstosHor Urccnloaf lias for bo mo time boon lining publlu monoy in tho liquidation of his private dobtfl. This is true, if it ho true at all, in part only. Ho has omployed operatives on the anscssmout roll at a pay of .f 75 per month, it is alleged, who woro willing to work for $00 per month, tho excess of $15 a month going to tho assossor himself and used by him, according to his official privilege to tho his reportod statemont, for tho purpose It would, in reality, woakon the of dofraying obligations incurred in strength of tho delegation iu its pro his last campaign. posed plan of work in tho forthcoming go conclusive has boon tho ovidonco prosonted to tho county commissioners that they havo publicly demaudod tho delivery of tho nsKcesmeut rolls to thorn. Ifthochargo against Grconlcaf bo sufllcient to warrant this action by Multnomah's board of commissioners, it is RUtliciout to justify furthor action in tho matter, for the accusation against tho assossor is nothing losa than "grafting" from tho publio funds. if it may-bo shown that tho extra $ Ifi per mouth charged for each of his as sistants in a certain class of work is ically intended for tho pro lit of flreon leaf himsolf. Tho sumo prluciplo is involved in establishing a listot"straw oporativos" in any business; but least OLD GENTLEMAN (In Background) HI. there of all should it bu tolerated in tho con duet of publlu alTalrs. To this chargo tho assesor has made a sort of amwor, confessing, it is re ported, that ho has accepted money Irom some of his ueslHtunts as a re muneration for his having glvou them a lucrative place iu his olllco. Iu all of this, howovor, tho assessor appears to ussumu that he has com mi I tod no wrong. Perhaps his oath ot olllco might onllghteu somowhat on that vague point. It is tho extraordinary cost of the conduct of public business that has heaped uku tho taxpayers of Multno mah county such a stupendous debt, of which tho unusual taxatlou of ordinary business iu every Hue is ouo of tho con sequences. Whether or not a public olllclal can further tax those whom ho has boeu chosen to serve by adding to tho average cost of his ofllcial work a monthly exaction in behalf of his as sistants, who, In turn, yield it to him for tho purposo of paying his private debts, remains to bo soon. WHAT OKFKAT WOULD MF.AN. Tho leadors of the Citisous' move ment, who succeeded iu olectlug their legislative ticket iu this county iu Juuu last, except ouo member, may bo dotei mined to 1111 tho vacaucy occa sioned by the death of one of tho mem bers of their delegation, but they will tlud their tank besot with greater dllll cullies than they coufrouted iu tho reg ular election. First of all, they havo a uood man to defeat. No ordinary caudidato can be a successful contest aut ugalust Hon. Jahu McCrakeu. Defeat iu this case would uieau much to tho fautiou that elected Mr. Knott. He, wits a Democrat of a two- Into typo, and the Multnomah delega tion was about to entrust to hta oaro signal roaDonslbllitios In the conduct of its vork in tho legislature during tbe session noxt winter. To oluct a Kopnhlican in his place now would bo to mako public the con cession that it was only a temporary llurry that carried to success the ticket he represented in Juno last. It would suggost lack of perinauenoy and slncor- ity on tho part of tho Citizens' faction. session of tho logislaturo. Therefore, it is safo to predict a warm campaign in this special cloo tiou. I'KOMINKiNT JIAILKOAD MAN. Among tho most popular railroad men iu the West today is Assistant Uenoral Passenger Agent A. D. Churl- ton, of tho Northern Pacific. Thor- oughly conversant with his business, , familiar with tho miuutost details of his olllclal task, acquainted with the whims and foilbos of tho travelingpub ho and obliging and gonial under any and all circumstances, Mr. Charlton jh indeed a rare typo of tho successful railroad man. That tho work is ardu ous and at times tests tho patience and I Gi rime pur.df t l'ie litaJ to Itieia timed cndutiiuco of a man iu chargo of such a rohpouslblo placo as that hold for many years by Mr. Charlton goes with out comment. It is probable that no private busluoss enterprise is so persist eiitly sought for favor as that of tho railroad company; and probably no mail in tho business is prossed so close ly for a slight manifestation of charity iib tho man at the chief's desk in tho local ticket olllco in ovoiy town tra versed by a railway track. In Port- laud, tho metropolis of the Northwest, Al , . .. . I those appeals aud tho cousoquout em-1 barrassmeuts they produco, both to "appolaut aud apoelloo," aro lutousl lled particularly so with tho company that does a tremendous busluoss, as is tho case with tho Northern Paolllo through its Portland oflloos. Mr. Charlton has proved himself oqual to any emergency in a rapidly iucreasiug busluoss; aud to him inuoli credit is due for the extraordinary sue C033 of tho Northern Paclflo iu the faco of a most uggrossivo aul perseveriug competition from transcontinental lines. By promptly mooting aud disposing of these omergeuules as they come with uow conditions, Mr. Charlton has pop- ulariid himself, uot only with tho con- stuutly moviug publio which seeks his assistauco ami ma iavorL uui wuu mo great compauv ho represents. It is alleged by writors of campaign literature that much ot the doubt which uow trouble tho minds ot Republicans ot Indiana as to whether or not they will be ablo to cairy that common wealth iu November Is occasioned by tho general indifference ami, iu somo cases, positive opposition of tho Negro voters of that state to MoKlnlxy. Why an Afro-Amerionn can cast his favor to Bryan is a question which wo of tho West cannot readily solve. It is nob so difficult, however, to dotorm ino tbe roasou for his indifference to McKinloy. If "like begets like," then the presidents' indifforeuce to the political rights of tho colorod voter, during tho past four years, has borno vory natural fruit. Governor Itoosovolt recoivod an un usually enthusiastic ovation nt Lincoln, Nebraska, Bryan's homo, on Tuesday evening; and now a Ilryau rocoptiou is bolng arranged in Now York that 'will out-Toddy anything that has so far oc curred in tho campaign. However, nothing has yot boon suggested in Dry mis' behalf that will iu .any measuro compare with Roosevelt's recoption at Kl Canoy, in a storm of Spanish bul lets. Tho anii-imporlalist was safoly tontod with hia idlo squad in tho orange groves of Florida, at that mo ment. Wo are again assured that tho Chi nese trouble is about to bo sottlod dip lomatically. This, howovor, is only a long-rango view of the scono of inter national contention. Prince Tuan and all of his sisters, cousins and aunts, brothers, uophews and grandfathers, togothor with a sooro or moro of his mi th irs-ln-law, will probably bo gull- chestnuts lug enough I Come, now Eltl" lotiuod first hut tho dato-lluo for tho consummation of that act of justice may as well bo loft uupropared for sev eral mouths yot. The polico commission throatens to cut tho polico force down to tho piti fully ridiculous number of 13 patrol meu and a reduced ootorlo of clerks if the city cauuot pay tho monthly salary toll for that department of its govern moiit. This is a serious situation. What do peoplo say of tho man iu bust- ness in which there is legititnato prollt , ii juupuriy cuuiiuuvuii, uui who latis, nevertheless? Incompetency, profllga oy, carelessness iu method and reck loisness in exocutlon, inatteution gen orally to his business, are items iu the causes that made him a bankrupt. lie robbod his own pooket to satisfy the lust of his stomach or his paaslou for gambling or for otbor forms ot profit less speculation. What, then, may bo said of the city that falls iu its busi ness government? a city filled with wealth aud rich resources, as is Port laud, but cannot pay its owu servants. Governor Goer opened tho presiden tial campaign iu Southern Oregon a lew evenings ago, at Ashlaud, iu a Jrousiug rally at which ox-District Attorney C. B, Watson presided. It was au en thusiastic gatheriug, the chief feature ot which, ot course, was the masterly address of Oiegou's patriotio governor. Southern Oregon can be relied ou to do its full service iu tho work of holding the Webfoot state in proper line at tbo polls uoxt mouth. It is said that District Attorney Chamberlain will prefer charges against Lawyer St. Itayuei, Frank E. McDan- iol'a attorney, alloging that ho changed the official record of tostimony taken during the trial of his client. If tho district attorney possesses tho ovidonco nccespary to support his charge, which will bo filed with the grievance coin mittco of the liar Association, it will show that Mr. St. Raynor lias gouo to a dangerous limit to protect his client, who is already und6r conviction and sentonco for killing his sweetheart, Miss Clara Fitch. Such tampering with tho olllclal record of tho trial is a tacit confession by defendant's counsel of tho dospcrnto strait in which both ho aud his cliont find themselves iu thoir soarch for oxcn.io for a now trial. Tho publio will await developments with much interest in tho result. Now Vorks' loo trust has dually bo come .a national Ibsuo; but tho warmth with which Senator Hauna is pursuing it promises to reduce its "stock on hand" to liquid form befoio the cam paign shall havo been concludod. Iu such a result Brother Ilryau will prob ably find excuse for pot-housing his noxt presidoutial veutuie in ouo of Chaiimau Jones' trust cotton bales in 0 Alabama. Burglars obtained a largo quantity of silver from tho Vatican iu a midnight robbery early this weok. Is it possiblo that Dryau has extondod his campaign fund collection oporatlonB to tho Bacred vaults of Rome? This burglary seems to prosout a now phaso of tho 10-to-l proposltou, as woll as to that of ex pansion. Tho strlko among the thousands of minors iu tho anthracite regions of Pennsylvania yot possessos no olemeut of promlBo of early nottleuiout. It was tho groat strikes eight yoars ago that beat Harrison for tho presidency. Sa!om authorities insist on collecting a license foe from tho telephone com panion operating there. Thoy should succood. Tolophono companies aro ro- quirod to pay a lioeuso foe iu ovory progressive city ou tho coast except Portlaud. Tho Daly Democrats of Montana have scored another victory iu tho nom ination of Thomas S. Hogan for )ov oruor. The serious question now,1 how ovor, Is: How inuoh of Daly's money will it tako to oloct tho nomiueo? Bryan, who is making olghtoou speoohes a day (somo days), can talk about as rapidly as Roosovelt can shoot;1 hut his aim is loss acourate.
