PORTLANjD. Oct C. (To the Editor.)
'In March. 1SID, General Joseph Lane, as
Governor by appointment of the Terri
tory of Oregon, issued his proclamation
from Oregron City announcing to the peo
3lc that thenceforth they -were a part
of the people -of the United States and
under the jurisdiction thereof. Their
concent was not asked. Pursuant to
this proclamation an election was held,
and the legislature assembled at Ore
gon City in September of the. same year.
The session was short. F.ew new laws
-were enacted. A general omnibus law
was passed, declaring that the laws of
the provisional government -were still in
Xorce, by which the Iowa statutes "big
book" were the laws of Oregon "when
over applicable." .Neither the laws nor
the proceedings of the session were pub
lished, and the country depended on the
understanding and memories of the mem
bers for what was done.
Judgo O. C. Pratt, who had accompa
nied Governor Lane, held a term of the
"United States District Court at La Fay
ette, the county seat of Yamhill County,
commencing September 17, 1849. This was
the first court held under the Civil Gov
ernment of the United States west of the
Hocky Mountains. Andrew Shuck was
Sheriff, and the writer Clerk. All causes
pending in the District Court under the
provisional government were by law to
be transferred to the United States Dis
trict Court docket. Court was held in
a large unfinished room in a house built
by Jacob Haun for a hotel. The furni
ture was improvised from goods boxes
and rough lumber. On Teceipt of the
news of the gold discoveries, in Cali
fornia in the Fall of IMS, all business was
Tibandoned. The Clerk of the Court. Joel
Perkins, hastily dumped all the records
and papers promiscuously into a sack and
sealed them up by tying tho string. The
foajr was brought Into court, the string
untied, the papers assorted and the
docket prepared. This old docket, re
cently discovered among the papers of
the late Judge M. P. Deady. Is the only
record now remaining: of 'that court.
-All court records excepting the probate
proceedings were destroyed by fire in
lS5i.
On calling court it was at once seen
that there was a new order of things
It was -written in every line of Judge
Pratt's face, in every tone, in every
movement and attitude that "the dignity
of the court must be preserved," and It
was preserved. One rather prominent
citizen indulged in some remarks not
complimentary to the court. He was Im
mediately hauled before the Judge, fined
and placed under arrest. There was no
more foolishness.
During this term of the District Court,
under the advice of Hon. A. J. Hembrce,
who had been a member of the Legis
lature, steps were taken to hold an elec
tion and organize the county. The elec
tion was held In October, and the officers
elect met In La Fayette November 5.
The laws had not been published, but 1!
was known that the Iowa statutes "big
book." of which one copy -was found, was
the law "as far a applicable." Jacob
Comeggs, Elijah Dodson and Lewis Rog
ers liad been elected Probate Judges,
Andrew Shuck Sheriff. Ezeklel Kennedy
Treasurer, and the writer Clerk. After
all had been sworn in, tho Clerk was re
quired to read the law. By this It was
found that one of the Judges must be
president of the court. Each desired the
place, as It was supposed that there were
some additional honors In the position,
but each wanted the other two to force
It upon him. A long silence ensued. At
length Judge Dodson, in his slow, delib
erate manner, between puffs from his
cob pipe, said: ""Well, I don't know as J
know much about this 'ere business
Puff). but T was Justice of the Peace
a right smart spell in Missouri (Puff)
In course, I had to know something
about la-w (Puff), but then this mought
be different." (Puff and silence.)
Judge Comeggs was always plausible
and diplomatic. In a low, insinuating
voice he said; "I wra Assessor in St.
Charles County, Missouri, some time, and,
of course, had more or less to do with the
courts in that wny. Still, this might be
different,"
Judge P.ogers, who was built like an
Alderman and had a high-pitched treble
voice, here broke in: "I don't know that
I know much about this business my
self, but I had a brother in Indiana that
was Jedge a great many ye'rs."
No one vrns forced. On further reading
it was found the presiding Judge must
sign all papers. Again Judge Dodson.
was first to speak. "I sometimes forgit
my specs," said he; "then I can't see to
write my name, nor read it, nuther."
"My hand shakes so now," said Judgp
Hogrrs, "I can't write my name so as
anybody can read it: in fact, I hardly
could."
"We did not always know when Judgo
Rogers was joking. Judge Comeggs was
Chosen president.
This court was styled the Probate
Court, but It also acted as a Board of
County Commissioners. The two func
tions were kept separate and distinct as
far as possible. After the election of the
president the bag out of which the pa
pers for the District Court had been
assorted -was again untied, the contents
were dumped out and again assorted for
probate and county business, and each
package tied into separate bundles. The
court was then ready for business. The
bonds of Sheriff. .Treasurer and Clerk were
carefully inspected, the sureties scanned,
And after some hesitation approved. The
Clerk filed the Sheriff's and Treasurer's
bonds and handed his own to the presid
ing Judge, who looked at it. then at the
other two members, and handed It back
to the Clerk with the remark, ""Keep that
safely with, the other bonds."
lNo," said the Clerk; "you should keep
that."
"I have no place to keep it," said the
president "It might get lost That's all
right you just keep It"
And the Clerk did, so that he could
readlls- refer to Its pains and penalties.
The next year, as County Commission
ers, the court took possession of 160 acres
of land as a county site. This was sur
veyed Into blocks and lots. The Clerk
was ordered to make the sales and re
ceive the money, which was expected to
be a vers' considerable sum. After a
good deal of circumlocution and hesita
tion the president announced to the Clerk
that there had been some talk that his
bond and sureties were not sufficient
The Clerk at once gave an additional
bond In the amount required, with ample
sureties. This he presented tp the court
through the president All expressed
themselves fully satisfied, and the bond
was approved by the president and hand
ed back to the Clerk with Instructions
to keep It -with the other one. Remon
strances were without avail; the poor
Clerk had again to face the pains and
penalties of nis bond in his own keeping,
-with at one time nearly 510.000 In his pos
session, from the sale of these town lots.
This money was turned over to the
Treasurer and kept by him with other
county revenues. Mr. Kennedy was not
a bookkeeper, but "he could "figure" a
little. He wrote on one page, in col
umns Under the head ' of "moneys re
ceived," all amounts that xcame to his
hands, and on the opposite page. In a
similar way, "moneys paid out" placing
the date of the year at the top of the
column. The cash was kept in a sack.
After some time it was found that the
column "moneys paid out" balanced with
tho column of ""moneys received," but
there was a "right smart pa' eel.'' as the
Treasurer expresses it still "In the sack.
Mr. Kennedy ' concluded that the "Bal
ance In-the sacKmust be his. Ho spent
It with a lavi&h hand, and the sack was
coon empty. The Clerk's books showed
money in the treasury, and the -Treasurer's
books- balanced. Here was a di
lemma. M. P. Deady. at that time a
young lawyer in La Fayette, was called
in to expert the books. He soon discov
ered that tho Treasurer had added in the
date of the year 1819 as moneys palC out,
and thus found the "pa'cel"' in the sack
left ver. The Treasurer was insolvent,
and the only recourse was a suit on his
bond. This was delayed.
At the next election there was an entire-change
in officers. The only solvent
man on the Treasurer's bond was then a
member of the court A new settlement
was ordered. At this time there was
found several hundred dollars due from
the county to the Treasurer, "Oh, never
mind," said Mr. Kennedy, "there has
been a good deal of talk about this mat
ter, and wo will just call it squar'." Tho
books were balanced.
Accounts have long since been balanced
with all the persons referred to In the
foregoing. The writer Is the only one re
maining. These men wore neither better
nor worse than men of the present. They
were generally of very limited education,
and without "training for public position.
The laws had not been published. They
had neither forms rior precedents to di
rect them. They had their little foibles
and ambitions. They, however, discharged
every trust imposed upon them with fidel
ity, according to their understanding.
The only exception of which I have "any
knowledge is the one narrated above.
This was the result of the unfortunate
accident of placing the year date in the
column of "moneys paid out" The final
settlement was condoned by the public
and looked upon as a good joke.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
NOTEWORTHY CONTRIBUTION
FROM A VETERAN WRITER.
E. L. Godkln, ex-Edltoc of New York
, Evening Pon Touches on Evils
of Spoils System.
New York Evening Post.
Before returning to these columns, I
hava been thinking a good deal about a
subject which occupied many years of
my life, and which was known to the
country as "civil service reform.'' It
had first attracted my attention in the
year after the war, because no one who
had not been born under the "spoils sys
tem" could think of this system as a pos
sible means of governing a great com
munity. The spoils - system, as I had
known it In England, was the division of
places In the public employ among a
small number of rich people who were
known to be responsible for the use they
mado of their patronage, and were really
a little ashamed of each other when they
did things unusually disreputable. More
over, the tenure of office was for life, and
the pay was pretty good. It was there
fore worth the while of even the most 111
quallllcd appointee to fit himself for hit
place, and he had abundant time to do .so.
The system was full of scandals, never
theless, but the scandals-' were kept down
by the comparatively small number
among whom the patronage was divided,
and by the desire of the appointee him
self to make his office seem respectable.
The Foreign Office clerks, for instance,
In London, and In fact' the Government
clerks generally, were kept. In some de
gree reputable by the fapt that they had
to be persons fit to figure in what is
called "society."
Under the. "spoils 'system" as It was
known In Amerlcaafter Jackson's, time,
everybody had qualifications enough for
any office "he could get, and the getting
of office depended upon services to the
party In power. After the suffrage had
become universal that 'is, about 1846 in
most parts of the country, the number of
candidates for places was, of course,
enormously increased, and less and less
attention began to be paid to any kind
of fitness except party fidelity, and the
talk of any other kind of fitness soon be
came a little ridiculous." Moreover, with
Buch a vast number of persons In tha
field competing: tfor the offices, it was
absolutely neces'sary that the tenure
should be short and uncertain. Ever
office had to be made to go as far aa
possible; In conciliating and winning sup
porters.' At tho time the. Nation was
startedf a stream, composed of men whe
had been dismissedwas constantly pour
ing forth from one door o'f a large custom
house or postofflce, while a similar stream
composed of men who had got their va
cant places, was pouring into another.
The scandals which such a state of things
was sure to produce, or had already pro
duced, were concealed, first by the anti
slavery 'struggle then by the war. It
fact, plain people all over the countrs
had become convinced that what was
called "rotation in office" was tho true
democratic system, that the consideration
of any other qualification than partj
fidelity was foreign and "un-American."
The very first attempt to arouse the
Nation to the dangers of this state of
things was made by Mr. Jenckes, a mem
ber of Congress from Rhodo Island, vwhc
spoke powerfully, and introduced a ref
ormatory bill In every Congress for soma
years after the war, but he secured very
little attention It was considered a "fad"
of his, and no "practical man" thought it
worth while listening to him. I was
among the number, however; of those
who were looking around for reformatory
work to do, and did reallybelleve that tha
time had come to redress tho abuses
which... the war had created or had
brought to the surface. I accordingly be-j
gan to DncK Mr. jencKes, up in tne Ja-(
non, ana organized, witn tne assistance
of Mr. Henry Villard, who was at that
time the secretary of the Social Science
Association, a meeting, which we con
vened by Invitation, and which was held
in one of the rooms In the old University
Building In Washington Square, to hear
Mr. Jenckes expound his new gospel. "We
thought it desirable that his address
should be followed up by approving reso
lutions, and I was appointed to draft
thenv Unhappily, the proposer was un
able to read my hasty handwriting; more
unhappily still, when I was asked to
take his place, I could not read it either,
which was an inauspicious beginning, but
we got over it. Owing to the prominent
share which Mr. George w l.ilam Curtis
afterwards took in Harper's "Weekly In
the work, many people are now under
the impression that he originated the civil
service reform agitation. In this there is
no truth whatsoever. He, too, was unde
the impression that we had entered on
the reformatory period, but the question
which he thought was most ripe for set
tlement was woman suffrage. For two
years the Nation was the only periodical
which, to my knowledge, deigned to no
tice the civil service reform movement as
a thing of practical Importance. In fact,
until nearly our own time, the politicians
have never even grasped tho name of the
reform. To most of them it Is still known
as "civil service."
In the beginning It was considered a'sort
of Prussian whimsy, with which some
foolish young men were occupying them
selves. In 1SC5 a breakfast was given by
one of them, then resident in Washington,
to a fow of those Interested In tho move,
ment. to which one or two Senatora and
members of the House were Invited. I
was deputed to enlighten one of the Sen
ators, who still sits In that august body,
as to what was meant by "civil service
reform." They clearly considered It a
harmless folly, to which the American
people would never give any countenance.
This feeling found expression In after
years anions politicians through dubbing
It "snivel service reform," and the per
sons engaged In promoting it as "Miss
Nancys." In their eyo3 it bore about
the same relation to "real politics" which
croquet bears to baseball or football. Ro
tation in office, with "spoils" for the vic
tors at elections, was the manly way of
playing the game; any other way was
considered too silly for discussion. Be-'
sides this. It was freely denounced by
those politicians -nho took It seriously as
part of a hideous and widespread attempt
"to establish caste In America." I waa
struck at that time by tue disappearance
from the minds of political men of tho
idea that party contests were intended in
any degree to promote the public welfare.
The theory th.at the el-jct'ons were simply
games of poker, ln ended to transfer tho
offices and salaries to tho party which
could get most votes, had taken firm
hold of the political mind. For long
years politicians favored, tho reform, but
denounced "this partlc.v.'ar measure."
Since that period the new system under
which joffices are awarded for merit, to
be ascertained by an examination, has
made .considerable progress, at least In
the Federal service. It Is no longer con
sidered ridiculous to ascertain a man's
fitness by examination. But even Presi
dent, Cleveland, who owed a good deal
of his support to his supposed frlendghip
for civil-service reform, showed after his
first election that he had not fully grasped
the reform Idea. The civil-service i eform
ers in New York, for instance, urged tho
reappointment of Mr. Pearson to "the
Postmastership of that city, a position
which he had reached by repeated aid
deserved promotions under Republican
Administrations. I' went to Washington
to see Mr. Cleveland abou". it, in com
pany with tho late Mr. TJorman B. Eaton.
Mr. Cleveland was civil to us, and cheer
fully acceeded to our request for Mr.
Pearson's appointment, but it was quite
clear, through a conversation with him
afterward, that he accorded us this favor,
not so much because he thought
the reform was a good, -thing, as
becauso r he considered us entitled
to something ' for ' supporting " him

at his election. In fact, the reform has,
from tho first moment, been dependent
on the President's, good will, and the good
will has been largely dependent upon
what Its promoters did to help him gc
his office. The thing that lias mst plain
ly appeared in the history of the reform
Is that It has owed such success as it
has- achieved, not to the belief in it 'of
Congressmen, b,ut to the fear,entertalned
by many of them that opposition to It
would damage them at the polls. " In oth
er words, it has never been the result of
clear National policy. On the President
lias been thrown tho responsibility of en
forcing the law. Every Preddent has
met this responsibility by consulting-his
own electioneering needs in various parts
of-the country. Hardly in any two great
offices has the .law been enforced with
equal rigidity.
The great obstacle in thp way of the
reform is neither American nor English;
it -is simply human.. All that we know,
by past experience,' of the attempts of
man to provide himself with a govern
ment, makes It "most unlikely,,' that an ef
fort, repeated' every four ydars, on the
part of one hundred millions of people
to elect a single officer as the chief of
a state, should succeed. It seemed rea
sonable enough when the Constitution
was framed for 3'OOO.COO of people, lead
ing a simple agricultural life. All de
mocracies of which tho world has had
any experience have beenv small, and the
thinking of the samo things abiut, the
republic has been an fcCsy matter. Our
desire to create a "worla (power" .out of
the Federal machine isarflasco, full of
shame and disappointment t One thing
alone would suffice to prevent Its suc
cess, even If there were no others; and
that is the power lodged -In,-the per-sen
nominated for the office' to secure his
election, or re-election, -'-by' the distribu
tion of an enormous patronage: an at
tempt which has to be repeated or prom
ised every four years, and'of-course ev
erv reDetition Increases "theftide '''of' cor-
uptlon. I do "not need to""pohit"out the'
differences between McKSrileyls. career, and
that of one of the early "Presidents in
this respect. Our Presidential election
is almost a disgrace to human nature, so
flagrant areth'e abuses by which the con
tention Is carried on, on both sides, and
so absurd the arguments by-which th9
claims of -the respective candidates are
advocated. As an Illustration. McKinley's
principal claim to the support of thous
ands of respectable people Is that he J3
not as bad as Bryan. The selection of a
third man from the whole population, bet
ter than either, which would be the nat
ural humati thing to do, is considered im
possible. Federal America is today, in
the last resort, ruled by a small knot of
"bosses," of the mental caliber and edu
cation of Piatt E. L. G.

rather feverish. Late on Sunday evening
he had got hungry again. He 'went into
the cafe and Dartook sparingly1 of lobster
Ka-la Newburg.--While he Wa eating this.
Gum Shrie remarked to some friends that
there was no doubt that his capacity to
represent the State of 'Missouri In the
"United States Senate was greater than
that of the Hon. George Graham "Vest,
who is a very aged gentleman. While
Mr. Stone was explaining this a pained
look overspread his face. He disagreed
with the lobster. He had not recovered
entirelj- from, this unpleasant experience
when he arose. Therefore he waa not
anxious for a heavy breakfast, and, after
Indulging in a moderate reviver of Wy-
nand Fockinks Schiedam, which comes in
stone jugs and costs only a quarter a'sip,
ho called the Hon. Phil Thompflon of
Kentucky' and the Hon. Joe Rickey of
St. Louis to him and the three went to
breakfa9t. Their modest fare was:
Fralses a la creme.
Hominy with cream.
Fletan grille, Malntonon.
Oeufs Turbao.
Cotes de mouton, Bouchero.
Pommes au ' grnttn.
Concombro salado.
Cafe Turoue.
Between bites the three plutocrat hunt
ers assuaged their thirst with Schloss
Johannlsberger, which is only a little hit
more expensive than the better brands of
champagne. This repast made Mr. Stono
feel considerably better and he asked
particularly after the health of the Hon.,
George Graham Vest On being informed
that no news in regard to Mr. "Vest's
health had been received Mr. Stone re
marked, wiping his eyeglasses:
"Ah, they used to say that no news was
good news."
Then he went to the luxurious apart
ments on the first floor of the Hoffman
House, which he occupied as a head
quarters from which to 'pursue the plu
tocrats. Here the Hon. Joseph B. Handy
of Schoharie, the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Twenty-tflrst district,
gave Governor Stone his" word of honor
that if the Republicans were defeated
in this state Bryan would get Its elec
toral vote. Ex-Congressman Lockw'ood
of Buffalo and ex-Congressmen Dunn and
Codman of New Jersey all, concurred on
this sentiment Congressman Henry
Francis Naphan of Massachusetts 're
marked that the prospects were1 bright
in the Old Bay state. Ex-Co"ngressman
Perry Belmont had a little talk with the
plutocrat hunters. He has been suspected
of being something of a plutocrat him
self, but It was said that he assured Mr.
Stone that he had reformed. In the mean- 4
time Mr. Stone was preparing for his
stumping trip with the Hon. John B.
Stanchfleld and last night he went over
to Brooklyn to practice.
The Hon. Frank Campbell, chairman
of the Democratic State Committee and
one of David B. Hill's right-hand men,
held forth in the St James headquarters
yesterday. Hitherto Mr. Campbe'll has
had desk room In Executive Chairman
McGuIre's office, but yesterday ho moved
across the hall Into a fine large apart
ment. Mr. Campbell was not In a talka
tive mood, but he said that he understood
some of the friends of Mr. Croker had
accused him of being a Hill man.
"I do not deny the charge," said Mr.
Campbell, "and when I want political In
spiration I look to Mr. Hill for it. The
outlook up the state is very encouraging.
I have heard of Democratic gains of 50
per cent over 1S9G. The carrying of this
state for Bryan all depends upon this
city. If Bryan gets a plurality of 80,000
In Greater New York he will have as
good a chance of carrying this state as
McKinley."
Then Mr. Campbell went out Into the
other room and ordered that everybody's
pay be put up 20 per cent, and that the

order should take effect on September 24.
Having done this he went away, leaving
all the clerks and attendants smiling
broadly. Soon after he went away Mr.
Croker entered headquarters with the
idea of looking round to see what was
doing. ' Mr. Croker keeps a very close
eyo On the state headquarters these
days. When what Mr, Campbell had said
was repeated to him, Mr. Croker grinned.
"The cltS" will do its part," he said.
"Let tho folks up the state do theirs.
Why, Mr. Bryan Is going to carry Il
linois, Indiana, California, Delaware and
New York. He's going to carry Califor
nia by 20,000 votes. A man from Califor
nia just told me so. He's going to be
elected. He's sure to get Illinois."
Mr. Croker said that he hadn't read
the speech of Controller Coler delivered
at Buffalo on Saturday night, and when
those parts of It in which Mr. Coler at
tacked "bossism" and '.'commercialism in
politics" were read to him, ho saldf
"That's all right There is nothing
wrong about that"
,Then Mr. Croker went away, and Mr.
Campbell came back In a few minutes.
Along In the afternoon ex-Governor Hill
turned up on Ms way to Brooklyn.
"Everybody expects a man to make
rosy predictions," said Mr. Hill, when hi3
opinion was asked as to the Democratic
prospects In this stato. "So what is the
use of my saying anything. I haven't
got anything to say."
.''.Then Mr. Campbell and Air. Hill went
away -to-, take dinner with ex-Governor
Stone, the Hon. Joe Rickey and the Hon.
Phil Thompson. Ex-Governor Stone per-
"sonatly superintended the ordering of the
dinner.. Governor Stone brought to bear
on this meal the knowledge derived in
years of plutocrat hunting. Here is his
order:
Clovlsses;
Gombo de volatile passe.
' Astrakan Caviar.
Ancholes sur toast.
Quenelles de glbier. Perisourdlne.
" ' - Crabes d'hultrea.
J3a8Sj.Tlayc8 boullli, sauce Jloussellne.

Canneton de prlntemps.
- Galantine de .dlndo aux truCfes.

frlte ou grille.
S Plum poudls, sauce au Cognac
Pnnlers aux. t raises vanllees.
Bar-le-Duc rroiellle fralses.
Gruyere.
Orangre a la Zahn.
The Hon. Joe Rickey, whose name is
known wherever gin and limes and ice
aid carbonated waters are found, took
up'on himself the ordering of the wines.
Mr. jRickey caught Inspiration in a York
cocktail, and then there was a drop of
Johannisberg Cabinet gold seal, which
is regarded by Mr. Stone as as good a
hock as he has become familiar with.
This was followed by a mouthful "of Mon
trachet. Marquis de la Gulche, 1S86, and
this. in turn by some of the famous Cha
teau Lafite Grand Vin 1877, which is
pretty expensive, but very nourishing and
sustaining. For champagne Mr. Rickey
selected Giesler & Co.'s Brut. 18S9, and
this lasted for the rest ot the dinner.
For. a cordial he. selected Eau de Vie do
J Dantzick, and so the meal was pleasantly
completed. Mr. Stone remarked while It
was In progress that he feared that the
health of the Hon. George Graham "Vest
of Missouri might give way under the
strain of his labors In the Senate.
'Mr. Hill left last night for Virginia, to
be back here on Saturday, probably.
SAFE LIGHTING IN MINES.
Inventors Tryins: Hard to Develop a
, . Portable Electric Lump.
Engineering Magazine.
In the early days of coal mining the
only light available was that of thecan
' die, and this Is the case In Cornish mines
at present Old colliers will tell you that
they 'can always detect the presence of
gas more quickly In their working- places
with a candle than with the , ordinary
safety lamp, and that they can always
clear it off in a few minutes by fanning
with their coats, the candle standing on
the ground meanwhile, out of harm's
way, the gas collecting near the root.
But mines are very different now from
what they were In the typical old collier's
day. Explosions In those days, when they
did take place, were only local, and did
llttlo harm, beyond burning the clothes
and skin of those near. In these days,
an oxplosion often means the loss or hun
dreds of lives and the wrecking of the
mine,' so that though many collieries are
still worked by naked lights, either
candles or small oil lamps, the number is
becoming less every year, the- pressure
of mine Inspectors being constantly di
rected to the adoption of safety lamps.
But the ordinary , oil-burning safety
lamp gives but a poof light, and it must
not be used In any position much out or
the vertical, or.lt goes out; and, more
over, it is not a perfect safety lamp in
the proper sense of the term, inasmuch
as any one of the .numerous forms will
become red hot and explode If it is ex
posed to a sufficiently powerful current
of an explosive gaseous mixture for a
sufficient time. Hence great efforts have
been made to develop a portable electric
lamp which shall take the place of the
prpsent safety lamp, at the face ot tho
coal and In those parts of the mines where
it Is not considered safe to use lamps
from the ordinary electric service.
