It tins blurred und insulted both tno past und present luliniiiistnition of this ollice and held both Secretary Kincuid und ex-Secretary McBride up im public robbers who improp erly persuaded the legislature to retain their enormous fees and sal aries. "The facts do not leave Harvey Scott a foot of ground to stand uKn. The facta show that the ollice at present is not paying over 5,000 a year, and it has never paid the occupant over from 15,000 to 17,000 a year. "The Oregonian has published several times as a fuct that the secretary of state receives in salary und fees 120,000 a yeur. Secretary Kincaid has today made up the figures of receipts of his office for six months past, salary, fees from insurance companies, sales of books, etc., a total of 4,726.53', of this he turned over to the state treasury according to law 2,480.14 and has retained for his services $2,240.39. 'The clerical force of department of state is paid out of appropria tions made biennially by the legis lature. Not a dollar is paid out for that purpose that is not abso lutely necessary. Until last Mon day there was work in copying tne laws and legislative journals for a number of typewriters. That work was completed Monday and they were all discharged. Of course the Oregonian will not correct its state ments to the contrary. "The Journal does not agree with Mr. Kincaid in all public matters and is not excusing big fees or big salaries. But we want the peo- Die to consider the above facts as against tho Oregonian's mere slanderous assertions and draw their own conclusions. Harvey Scott will defend a man like Lotan and villifv a man like Kincaid He probably hus reasons for ifoing so, and has taster and ideas in such matters that are peculiarly his own. When the people come to puss their Gnal opinion on public ofliciuls their judgment will not be unfavorable to Mr. Kincaid." TO DESTROY CATERPILLARS. A correspondent in an exchange says, "Caterpillars on trees are easily killed. Every year I hear of them destroying whole orchards and there is nothing that can be dis posed of more easily. I bore a hole in the tree deep enough to reach ti e s ip, fill it with sulphur and then plug it up. The result is magical. The sup takes the sul phur to every branch and tw'g and caterpillars die at once. I have gathered up the insects by the pint under trees that hud become in fested with them b fore I noticed and destroyed them. I have never known the remedy to fuil and I never knew of a tree being in jured by it, and I have pursued this course for many years." We find the following gem going the rounds of the press, without credit: "Remember . this young man, be careful what you say about a woman's character Think how many tears she has been building it, of the toils and priva tions endured, of wounds received, and let n suspicions follow her actions. The purity of the women is tho salvation of the race, the hope of greatness and tho redemp tion of man. Wie out her purity and the man sinks beneath the wave of despair, without a Btar to guide his life into tho channel of sarety. Think then before you speak, nnd remember that any hog can root up tho fuiroet flower that ever grow; so the vilest man can ruin the purest woman's charac ter." As an example of the progress that has been made in settling dis putes that so frequently arise be tween great nations it is stated that during the whole war, in which the Japanese coraDlotalv overran the Northern provinces of China and reduced that empire of ,wu,wu population to humble submission, only 590 Japanese were killed in battle less than were frequently killed in a Bkirmish during our late civil war.
