ONLY ITS DUTY.
The frank discussion of public
affairs is not a new policy with
this paper. It has always claim
ed and exercised the right to dis
passionately fcriticise policies and
actions that concern the public
welfare. It deems this its duty
as a public journal.
It is not always an easy task to
treat of these matters boldly and
independently for the claims of
friendship have often to be resist
ed, and material interests disre
garded. The Gazette's frank
ness is sometimes attributed to
maliciousness, but those who have
carefully watched its course, must
.know, that its only object is the
discovery pf, truth, and the wel
fare of the public. The ' man
agement desires.tp avoid : sensa
tionalism and the "flashy" style
of journalism." It wishes only to
have the paper do its duty and to
merit and receive respect and sup
port as a clean, fearless, able and
reliable public journal.
NO COMPROMISE.
The rumor that Mr. Osburti
has offered to settle with the coun
ty and pay back a small portion
of his alleged shortage, may or
not be tnie. There is, or at least
ought not to be, any complication
in this matter whereby a compro
mise should be deemed expedient.
It is simply a question of book
keeping. If there is a shortage
the books should show it The
only thing required in ascertain
ing the correct amount is accura
cy inr the compilation . of the
accounts; and any one who can
add, can discover whether or not
there is a shortage and if any,
-the exact amount thereof.
Officers are required to furnish
bonds when they go into office.
These" bonds are demanded for
the purpose of indemnifying the
county against loss through such
officer's negligence, incompeten
cy or dishonesty. If Mr. Osburn
as short in his accounts, it matters
not what excuses may be ottered,
the county
loser and should
have recou
t the officer
and his bo
or trie system
is a iarce. 11
Mr. OsburtT
willing to settle
every dollar
iis actual short
age the court shtMjld, at its meet
ing next week, take the necessary
steps to recovery the amount due
by process of law.
There can be no honorable
compromise in matters of this
kind and it is unreasonable to
suppose that the court contem
plates such procedure". Every
taxpayer is affected by the failure
of any officer to properly account
for county funds coming into-his
hands, and members of the county
court can not afford to be parties
to any transaction that will have
the effect of defrauding the coun
ty. -
GROWING BELAPIDA TED.
- The gods help those who help
themselves and capital has some
- 3S
1 w
attributes of divinity. Capital
must be coaxed and not forced.
If Corvallis wishes to grow and
to attract men of means, her cit
izens must make more effort" to
wards keeping up the general
appearance of the place.
Corvallis is delightfully lo
cated and used to be a neat and
pretty town, but it is growing ex
ceedingly shabby. Old and un
painted sheds, rickety fences and
general evidences of decay are
observable from every corner. A
citizen : taking a . quiet stroll
through the town cannot but feel
that the first thought of a
stranger would be, y "What a.
shabby old place." ' r
Hammer-arid7 nails, a little
paint, a little whitewash, a little
energy, can accomplish wonders.
Corvallis wants her share of the
emigration that promises to flow
Oregonward during the coming
year. Desirable people will not
care to locate in a place that ap
pears listless and delapidated.
Many eastern towns have, heen
improved both as to external ap
pearances and socially, through
the instrumentality of develop
ment . clubs, organized for the
purpose. There is srgood field
- for such an organizatnin Cor
vallis. JT is- now said that Joe Simon
will again be president of the sen
ate. : If so, it might be well to
balance matters and make Jona
. than Bourne speaker of the house.
Bourne, it is said, voted for Bry
an, but look at Simon. Simon,
when chairman of the state cen
tral committee, defeated the
republican nominee for supreme
fudge. - Simon foisted Pennoyer
upon the state. Simon bolted the
republican congressional nominee
last June and Populist Quinn was
was nearly elected. Those who
approve of Simon, can hardly
criticise any republican who
might vote for Bourne.
A SOLITARY OPPOSITION. ,
It must be remembered that
I there are other republican papers
in Oregon beside the Oregoman,
and many republicans in the
state beside Mr. Iydell Baker.
The Oregonian's help in carry
ing- trie state tor McKiniey. is
! recognized and appreciated, but
ithe country papers battled as
earnestly and as effectively as
did the able daily of the metrop
olis. , They are as deeply inter
ested in seeing that the recent
victory for sound money and
sound government is- not 'dissi
pated in any way.
While the Oregonian is doubt
nig Senator Mitchell's republi
canism and calling upon nun for
a token of his faithfulness to the
party platform, all other repub
lican papers outside of Portland
that possess any ability, influence
or standing, express the utmost
confidence in Mr. Mitchell's re-
publicanism and urge his re elec
tion. '"One is justified in doubting
the sincerity and honesty of the
Oregonian in . questioning Mr.
Mitchell as to his vote infutyr
financial legislation. Is the Or
egonian any -dujller? of i compre
hension or more -devoted .to the
party and its principles than all
the other papers in the state?
Is it not singular that the Oregon
ian should be alone in its ex
pressed doubts. ' :
One is constrained to conclude
that the Oregonian is animated
by its old-time personal animos
ity towards Mr..; Mitchell, rather
than by any fear of his aiding
free silver's cause.
The county court should take
immediate steps to have cancelled
the warrants which are alleged
to have been paid, but not called
in. If the matter is sifted to the
bottom now it might result in a
saving to the county ot several
thousand dollars.
Senator Mitchell will be
re-elected. The first , ballot will
decide the senatorial question
satisfactorily to a large majority
of the people of Oregon. The
feeble protest of ' his antagonists
is buj: a recognition of the Inevi
table; Secretary Olney is a maker
of history and an establishes of
precedents. It. will probably be.
found that logic and authorities
are on his side in tne conflict
that has arisen between . himself
and a number of ssnators.

A LARGE LEAK.
Light on County 'Matters In
' teresting Items ' for the
,, Taxpayers.
A few weeks ago the Gazette
informed the citizens ot Benton
county .that the county .debt was
over $75,000. Later . investiga
tion proved this paper's figures
to be correct No one seemed
to have realized that the county
was In .such, a shape and the
people have since been discuss
ing the,affair seriously. "
In an interview printed in the
Gazette of Dec. I8th, Judge
f-Hufford explained some of the
causes for. -the., growth ;of the
county debt x There are several
other things that are of interest
in, this connection, and among
thein is the reported deficiency
of ex-Sheriff Osburn.-.
Mr. Watters. and Mr. Ripley,
who, in Mr. Osburri's behalf, ex
amined his books since Jos. Wil
son's report, have not made pub
lic their findings,, but it is under
stood that their figures practically
agree with those of Mr. Wilson.
It isestimated that S Jr.' Osburn
owes the county betwe- $8,000
and $ 10,000.
As the deficiency occurred dur
ing the years 1 892 and 1893, the
statute of .limitation bars any
criminal proceedings. The
county court can commence civil
action against the ex-sheriftand
his bondsmen to recover the
amount due. '--'-:- '
It is said that Mr. Osburn . in
sists mat a thorough examina
tion v. ill show his accounts to.be
cov; c. .iiid all moneys properly
accounted for, and that the coun
ty will -not only, fail to recover,
should it commence suit, ; but
that it will have costs to pay.
It is said also that he claims the
apparent .discrepancy -16 be only
about $2,000 and that he offers' to
compromise by " paying this
amount into the treasury. -
The county court .meets Wed
nesday when the matter, will be
rconsidered. ' Mr. Osburn will
doubtless at that time declare
his intentions and make x. propo
sition for the court to' accept .or
decline.
Mr. Osburn's sureties on his
bond as sheriff for the years in
volved are John M. ? Osburn, ... T.
W. B. Smith and Arthur John
son. The bond is for $io,'ooo: "
There is another ugly rumor
i-abroad that concerns the. tax
payers. It is static by - people
who ought to know,, that war
rants are out that really have
been paid. Couoiy .Warrants to:
a.: considerable s amount,- paid -.in
for taxes, do not appear oft the
Veeords as cancelled. ' ?The srlefv
iff kept their numbers-however,:J
and the connty can avoid loss ori
account of second' payment,
but there may be innocent pur
chasers, who wilt not fare . so
