A Grays Joke The Salem Statesman
tells the following, probably manufact
ed for the occasion : "The legislature
hasn't been in session long, but the story
tellers are getting in their work and there
are tome goods yarns going the rounds,
The latest is on Representative Miller.of
Linn : A stranger while stopping at the
hotel in Lebanon became sick, and in a
short time died. He had no friends
them and the people did'nt even know
his name, bat his cass had elicited no
little sympathy and the citizens .got to
gether and gave him a fine funeral.
Around the grae there were the usual
solemn ceremonies and after their con
clusion a man, who had taken a promi
nent part, inquired if anyone would like
to say something. There waa silence for
a moment and then Miller stepped for
ward and said: "If no one else wants
to speak, I would like to say a tew words
on the tariff."
A 11 .inn Toecn. Robert Tolmie, the
pianist presented his choice program last
night at the opera house, before a small
audience. It waa a musical treat not
often if ever enjoyed here in this line.
Tolmie is a pianiat ( rare ganius, pos
sessing a masterly touch, a perfect exe
cution, with rare expression, and those
hearing him are given a feaat worth list
ening to. It is a fact though, that a ma
jority of people have not the taste
for listening to classical music for a
couple hours on one instrument, which
accounts for the very few who go to such
entertainments.
A Paying Bcsrssss.- The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Santiam

while their pay roll waa $28,850,63, be

Portland from a trip to Yaqnina. He
reports that work has been going ahead
on the jetties all winter, with verv few
days interruption on account of the
weather. The landslide in the rock
quarry ema-hed a derrick and an engine,
but opened up a lot of rock, so the loss
was slight and the work waa delayed .
Work haa also been carried on continual

with the exception of a few days when it
was necessary to make some repairs to

We are informed by parlies who claim to

week to see a widow who has recently
moved into the neighborhood and that he
proposed and she accepted him on the
spot, a license waa gone for in haste bat on
arriving at the clerks office he forgot the

Harnev County. A writer in an ex
from Harney county says Harney county
is one of the leading counties of the state
for hay. When one first gets a view of
Harney valley he would think it was most
ly composed of hay ricks. There are
thousands of tons for sale at $2.50 per ton.
It would be a gteal advantage to this
county to have a railroad built in here so
that the hay could be shipped to other
places, also our beef and mutton. We
cannot get to market in the spring, when
they are in the greatest demand. This is
a very healthy climate, being high and
dry.

Lark Bilyeu, of Eugene, J I Daly, of Dal

a job on a democratic colonel and had a
bushel of fan last night, at Hotel Wil
lamette. They seat him a perfumed
note by on of the bell boys, that a lady
would be pleased to meet him in the cor
ridor. The colonel, wbo will not easily
be laid in the shade when it comes to
gallant conduct in affairs of arms or the
less sanguinary conquests of the gentle
sex, immediately couched a reply in the
most elegant military language, and in
formed her ladyship that he would be
intensely pleased to meet her.' The bell
boy, who could hardly keep a straight
face carried the missive to the imaginary
female, while the colonel awaited results
in a glowing frame of mind.

PUBLIC INUgssTEDKSat ,
The man who proclaimed that "a public
debt is a public blessing," is sn enemv to his
race. A public debt is a public burden just
as certsinly snd distinctly ss a private debt
is a persona burden. For thia reason the
legislature, which U the debt creating power
of th stste, should be as judicious In incur-
I ring debts as a careful business man would
be But a stste should not be pstshnoniou
and niggardly but the line should be drawn
en the line of reason and good judgment .
Sometimes an epidemic of extravagant ex
penditutet seems to sweep over a stale, snd
counties on all sides become largely involved.
This seems to have been the experience in
Ohio during the last year. 1 He Incress in
the debts ol her counties, townships, cities,
vlllsges and school districts for 1893 over
that of 1891 is over $12,000,000. In our
own state while expenses of stale government
hsve increased m jch more rapidly I baa popu
lation, yet we have pakf expenses cash an,'
and hence the state ia not in debt, bat It is a
deplorable fact thst many counties have Urge
burdens of indebtedness to carry. Let the
members of the legislature be careful that
no indebtedness of doubtful utility be incur
red, We regard it as safe to say ihst Sen
ators Weathertord snd Myers, and Represen
tatives Blevine, Elmore and Miller will keep
vigilant wstch over the public expenditures,
that 00 extravagant use cf the people's money

The more the last debt statemen t is
studied in the light of the demands upon
the treasury for the next two months, the
more determined the conviction becomes
that something must be done very speedily
to increase the revenues. The present ad
ministration, by holding up appropriations
and encroaching dangerously upon the coin
reserves, will taMta ha iUs. to tita) over
the two months of existence that remain to
But after that the truth will appear
and a meant must be found of repairing
the deficit. If the republican senate will
permit, something may be done at this
session to stop the gap. The most likely
revenue measure to pass is that raising the
hiskey tax to $1 25 a gallon. It would
add about $35,000,080 a year to the
revenues without hurting any industry or
adding a cent to the cost of any necessary
of life. As there is no opposition made to
it by the manufacturers of whiskey, it seems
not unlikely that the bill may be passed.
The death of Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams formed a remarkable coincidence
They died on the Fourth of July, 1326. al
most at the same hour. Z, They were both
members of the nnuittee that framed the
declaration of independence; both signed
it; both had been American ministers at
European courts; both had been vice presi
dents and presidents of the United States,
and both had lived to a great age. Adams
died at Quincy at the age of almost 91 rears;
Jefferson died at Monticello, Vu. at the age
of almost 84 roars. They died exactly 50
years (almost to an hour) f after they had
cast their votes for the declaration of inde
pendence.

Washington, Jan 9, 1893.
Senator Chandler is developing a tenden
cy to throw oratorical I .ricks- around with
all the careleaxnena which characterized the
sensational congressional career of Benja
min F Butler. While speaking in favor of
the National Quarantine bill Mr Chandler
made a few remarks about the relations
existing between Secretary Foster and
other treasury officials and the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Co, the agents of
which have been in Washington since the
session began for the purpose of preventing
legislation for the suspension of immi
gration, lie also bad something spicy to
ray about tao courtesies extended by the
same steamship company to the prominent
newspaper men woo compose the Gridiron
Club Here are the exact words of bis
arraignment of Secretary Foster and Assist
ant .'secretary bpauiuiog. ana many con
sider it strong enough to call for an
investigation. If it isn't true Chandler
should apologize; if it is true Foster should
be impeached. "This North German
Lloyd Steamship Company," said Senator
Chandler in his speech, "is the favorite
route for the secretary of the treasury and
the assistant secretary of the treasury and
the commissioner of immigration and
oilier bearury officials when they go abroad,
and the company is very kind to them. It
always gives them the best of accomoda
tions, and if they find themselves lacking
in money when they are on the other side
and congress has been negligent in provid
inir the means for their transit and their
support over there, it loans them money
It is very evident from Mr Chandler's
plain and unmistakable language that be
believes the republican officials whose doty
it is to inforce the present immigration Law
have been bribed by this steamship com
pany to nesiect their sworn duties, aad
that be thinks some prominent Washington
coneauussnsaats are in the same boat The
speech has caused a great sensation in
W aahington. and that class of newspaper
correspondent's entirely too numerous
who make a practice of placing- themselves
under obligation for favors received from
any who choose to offer them are highly
indignant; but all the same it is a fact that
so correspondent is apt to write disagree -able
thing, even though be knows them to
be true, about those he is under obligations
to. That speech hits a good many of them
in a tender spot, and it hurts. Some papers
trill not allow their correspondent here to
accept costly courtesies, aad the socaxer tbey
all get on that basis the better for all con
cerned.
The house is not loosing any time with
the appropriation bill. Since the reas
sembling of congress it has disposed of two
o! them the fortification, and the District
of Columbia.
The bouse ways and means committee
expect to get that fctattrroent from Secretary
Foster of the condition of the treasury up
to and including Dec 31, some time this

After much pmnati-ftn Mr Harrison
issued an order extending the clsssified
civil service to the letter carriers at all free
delivery offices, but declined to include
bureau and division chiefs in the goverr
meat deTxsrizaexttc. or printers in the
government printing office. It Is expected
at this order will keep between 6))) aa d
8000 republicans in office under the demo
cratic adrninistradon, but if Mr Cleveland
is prompt in displacing republican post
master the example of the republicans in
dealing with the railway mail clerks at the
beginning of the Harrison administration
can be followed and a few thousand demo
crate be put in before the civil service

The house committee which ha been
engaged for severe months in investigating

the taking of testimony aad is now at work
on its report. It is believed thai the com

substantiated by the evidence taken; also
thst the constitutional right of congress to
legislate on the subject will be affirmed,

The removal of the seat of government
to Washington was effected in the summer
of 1800. It seemed like transferring it to a
wilderness. Only the north wing of the
capitol was finished, and that was utted up
to accomodate both houses of congress- The
president's house was finished externally
but much had to be done on the inside
There was only one good tavern, and that
was insufficient to accommodate half tie
congressmen. There was only a path
through the alder swamp along the line of
Pennsylvania avenue from the president
house to the capitol.
The Astoria says:
"Mr Clevelsnd has been diverted from
great public questions to Ihe senatorial
squabbles of the several states."
Indeed, what could be a graver question

affecting the perpetuity of the government
