old Russia three thousand tons cf tbe
same armor for $240 a ton. It was claim
ed by a representative of that Coin pan v
that 140,000 was lost on that order, for
the purpose of introducing their armor
in Europe. This claim was a direct ad'
mission that the armor only cost $255 a
ton; yet, the trust got tbe price fixed at
$550 a ton In the bill at first passed by
Congress. The reduction was made by
the Senate. That is tbe sort of business
that makes rich trusts and disgusts those
who believe in old fashion honest deal
bag with the government as welt as with
individuals. I! the trust can make ar
mor for $255 a ton, which its
agents say it can, it can certainly afford
to sell it to tbe government for $300 per
ton, but of course, that is no reason that
it will. It will probably prefer making
the next Congress raise tbe price, and
the next Congress, being republican in
both branches will probably be easier to
control than tbe last was.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.
The insurgent war, tlie leading event
in tbe world, continues In the Phlliplne
islands. Our soldiers are slapping it to
the barbarians with teliing effect and it
certainly can be onlv a tew days before
tbe insurgents will bave no resort left
bat to surrender. We are bound to
make them American l itnens whether
tby wish it or not. It is a gocd thing
that tbs matter is being brootibt to a fo
cus, for it is not very pleasant to see a
war waged against a people whom we
started ont to defend from the rapacious
Spaniards, and yet they deserve all they
are getting, viewing it from a general
standpoint. They are a barbarous,
treacherous, sneaking, bushwhacking
people. This again reminds n tbat
they are a very undesirable people for
eitixens of this glorious land ot the free
Several more trusts bare been formed
in different parts of the U. S . and if
there is anything that Isn't in the grasp
ot a trust, it would be very pleasing if it
would raise its hand so as to be counted.
We would like to pat it on tbe bark.
The octopus has hold of the people.
Who ever pots the trusts down will make
a home run tbat will be cheered from
the Atlantis to tbe Pacific.
Linn county is making ao effort to
bave a county fair, but tbe effort is not
very hat. It takes money to hold coun
ty fairs, and iust now it is not jumping
ahead with tbat alacrity tbat should
characterize money when there is an en
terprise ahead tbat will woik for tbs
benefit of tbe county. If we are going
to do anything let ns give a whoop and
go ahead, if it is to be a halt hearted
affair like tooth pullinj M drop it.
What is the use ot go:n; ino it unless it
is to be made a howling success. A poor
fair does a community more harm than
good, and tbat is a fact demonstrated
over and over again.
We bave again this wvk been showing
i the world what we can do in toe line of
weather, presenting t o or three after
noons of ideal weather. At tbe same
time reports came from the east of bor
ribla blixsards and storms.
Puriog tbe week tbe Dbmocrat man
paw a very bright man who had rained
himself by tbe drini hab't- Once be
held a very responsible and lucrative
position, but. ttok a sip occasionally and
finaiiy it came so frequently tbat he lost
bis place and was eons ont on the world
with nothing to recommend bim but bis
past record. Every paper tells of a case
almost of the same character. If a an an
wants to go sown grade iestead of op
grade, a good way tar him is to be a
moderate drinker. If he could stay with
tbe moderation he might remain oa -a
level, bat ss sure as tbe worm rota tbe
apple, if oe keeps at it be will not be a
moderate drinker long. Tbat ie Malory.
During tbe week Circuit Court has
been it session, doing tbe business of
tbe term in abont four day. No eases of
sreat importance were tried. Tbe lead
ing event ot tbe week was tbe indict
ment of an ex-coonty treasurer tor tbe
embezzlement of county lunds, a very
serious affair, for there is no ertite of
tbe present day that deeervee more
prompt and vigorous prosecution than
that of taking mon.y belonging to tbe
public, nor one which a mre emphatic
example need to be set. It is due to
tbe defendant though in such cases tbat
tbey be permitted to make their defence
before being convicted by tbe public.
Several crimes had been committed in
tbe eonnty for which indictments were
antictpatrd, among them being a mnrder
and the ruination of a young girl by sev
eral young men. It is very doobtfal if
there was safBcieot evidence in eithe r
case for tbe grand jury t) make an in
dictment. Since the last Saturday night thoughts
a minister of the gospel or one professing
to be, has skipped out with a young wo
man and left this part of tbe country.
Tbeie is ro greater rascality tn the social
world It is time the stranger was not
trusted promiscuous until be has shown
his worth. It pays to go slow. An in
jury is being done to an entire commun
ity when a place of trust like that of pas
tor ot a cboTch is given a man without
characterises known by indisputable
eideoce.
