publican caudidatu for representative
from Multiioinah county to 1111 tho va

This is, iudood, a most happy
choice. Nono.. better, among thouo
available uudor tho olrouinstunues
could havo been made, and certainly
no ouo better alilo to roiiroKont the pub

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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"

consummation of that act of justice

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

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

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.
