olislio sheet, the I'oftlana urcgo i-
ian, h'iH persistently slundereu tno
office of tho secretary of Hate. 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."

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

which the Japanese coraDlotalv
overran the Northern provinces of
China and reduced that empire of

submission, only 590 Japanese
were killed in battle less than
were frequently killed in a Bkirmish
during our late civil war. The
