ROSEBURQ MOSSBACKS.
Ro3:burg buaincra men will doubtless
feel h'gbly complimented by Monday's
Review, which tells Ihem of tlieir lack
ol public spirit lecause they did not
raise a lis fund to make a big blow out
by attracting 5000 here on the Fourth, to
be bled by the businessmen in the extra
sale of their goods, wares and merchan
dise, hotel bills and saloon charges tor
thofe things that would uot'emich thorn,
though it tuight make them feel that
they were n.ibobi.
The business men have fallen into a
lethargic stale and n general mosiback-
ism is now dominant, is the logic of the
Review. "We fciicy the business men
will now arouse tlicnircivu, shake off
this lack of public spirit, ectape the moss
off their bucks and ruth to the Review
office and increase the sire of their ads,
pat that tripod btraddler on the back
and jhower ducats into his depleted cof
fers, and say. "you are all light, Mr. Re
view," bat with a mental reservation,
and in a soto voce voice, ad J, "why did
you not sav eo before?"
But wbea we came to lock iuto the se
cret of this chiding of the business men
by this soidesant leader of public enti
ment, we find where the Review gets its
inspiration. It has an ax to grind. It
is the city council it is after. It charges
that body with ?1I the imaginary evils
which has or may befall the city.
It charges the city counc.l with shut
ting off the water supply, uheninfact,
it was the water company itself, that
shut off the supply of water, evidently
with the intent to starve the people into
submission to its exorbitant charges for
water for the purposes. The business
men hold the stock of this water com
pany, and if the people had no, kicked
agaicst the high rates of water supply,
and continued those high rate to keep
the water cotnpanv in funds, the busi
ness men would have given us a grand
celebration last independence daj paid
for you see by the people 3nd we would
have had a glorious time, and the Re
view would have had no occasion to call
them moisbacis lacking in public spirit.
Then, too, the contemplated withdraw
al of dsv mail service bv the S. V. Com
pany is be-:irjse the council has "shut
off the city water supply." Yes, yes,
restore the ciiv wate- upply and . pour
$1000 more a year into the company's
pockets, and hereafter the busines3 men
who own the water stock, will give us
a grand celebration on each recurring
Fourth ci July; ride cftener on the S. 1'.
cars paid for by ilie taxpayers and
thus by a liberal patronage of the S. V.
Company induce it to continue the
day mail service. That would be a fine
state of affairs. With the city water
supply shut off. the basicoss men can't
ride in the S. P. Company 'a cars, and as
a consequence, the company has in con
templation the withdrawal of day mail
service, so says the Review.
Tax payers .what will you do about
ibis matter? Will ycu vote to renew
the old contract in order to enable our
business men to ride cftener to Portland,
and tbos persuade the company to con
tinue day mail service and to induce the
business men to give yoa a CTaud Fourth
of July celebration nextyejr?

THE CO.niNG CONFLICT.
The combined opposition to republi
canism is concocting a scheme at Chi
cago to defeat McKinley. Democracy
having lost favor with the people through
its free trade doctrine voted into power
four years ago, will not dare rai'e that
standard now, and if it esjeuse protec
tion it cannot hope to convince the voters
that it is sincere, and, on that ground,
could not expect to win votes from the
republicans, who are and have been gen
uine protectionists. Its only hope is in
making an is;us with the republicans cn
the doubtful one of free and unlimited
coinage of silver as a bid for the popu
lists' vote.
The query is who will get the nomina
tion at Chicago, Bland, Boies, Campbell,
or some dark horse of lesser no!e. Teller
stands no show at Chicago. He may,
however, at the St. Louis convention,
wmcn convenes Ju;y ---j. mere is a
desperate effort of the democratic con
vention to name a man that the !; u
lists at St. Louis will endorse. Rut will
the populists do that? Wiil they swing
into the democratic camp and assist it
'to power and then have to take a back
seat while the patronage is doled out to
the old line stayers of the democratic
party? Not much. The populists will
hardly bite at such insipid bait put out
lor sutkjra. ltiey will uardly be so
gullible as to furnish the biz end of tho
vote to elect the democratic president
and then stand oat in the cold for the
next four years, chilled to the marrow,
and to hug the delusive phantom of Iioj-e
for the future.

Women in Office.
A male grumbler at women in office
Bays "women are all right in their place
at home but men wUen they want to
do business with officials want to do it
with men not with women."' They
have to be, they say, bo reserved and def
erential with women. They would
rather be less restrained, more free and
easy in their busincsj transactions.
Thc3e objections call to mind the fact
that Mrs. F. W. lJenson hag filled the
petition of 2J clerk during herbueband's
term of office, and li.i3 dono the work as
well ae any male clerk he could have
had, and that la what the taxpayers
want. If any old grouty bachelor did
not enjoy himself during the few min
utcs he waa in the office while on busi-
nesa with Mrs. lienson in the past it is
hopad he may outlive the ordeal and in
tbelfulure come prepared to meet the
lady-like deportment of Mrp. Penson's
eucceseor, Miss Leona Shnpe, who will
no doubt be as courteous and accommo
dating as wag Mrs. Benson. Women
bhould be allotted to make an hone.it
living as well aH men. When they have
qualifications for any kind of business
they ought not to be barred because thoy

the most remarkable ones in the annaw
of crime. Thev were indicted bv a
United States grand jury for robbing the
United States mail?, luly 1, 1595. They
were tried and convicted before Judge
Bellinger of the United States district
court, one of the ableet jnmts of this
state. They were ably defended
by W. W. Cirdnell of this city
and Albert Abraham oi Portland,
who have persistently contended
for the acquittal of their clients: and
now that they have succeeded, it i9
' a feather in their cap' that they will
Itold as a rich tiophy for their indefat
igable efforts against the postal service,
the Wells Fargo Express Company, the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company and
half a dozen private detectives as well as
the Piukcrtons.
Thef e men, Pool and Cae, are men
without money and no means to remun
erate thair attorney, working without
the hope of reward except that of de
lending innocent men against such odds.
Judge Itelliuger, before whom this
case was heard, seeing the inefficiency
of the evidence presented has set aside
the xerdkt and turned these men free.
Their accusers no doubt feel not a little
chagrined at their failure, after their
combined efforts to send innocent-men
to prison in order to secure $9000 reward
had the final conviction of tlioee men
been secured. These men feel, and
justly so, that they owe their counsel an
everlasting debt of gratitude for their
liberation.
