THE FAILURE OP MISREPRESENTATION.
Jhe Portland Journal Insists that it
has no other interest In the Jetty rock
contract than to see the work carried
on with promptness. The Journal is
not telling the truth. It doubtless Is
anxious to see the Jetty work carried
on In a satisfactory manner, but at the
very commencement of Its brainless agl
tntion It protested against the award
ing of the contract to the Nqrthwest
Construction Company, notwithstand
ing that the local firm offered to fur
nish the rock at a much less figure than
was contained in the bid of Hale &
, Kern, The Journal has been intensely
hostile to the Astoria company ever
. since It started on the contract, mag"
nlfylng the difficulties, that at first be
set it, charging that it was furnish
' ing insufficient quantity and quality of
rock, and contending aa'iy tnai me
company eould not possibly live up to
the terms either of the first contract
or of that which Is to be awarded later.
There was never an effort op. the part
of any one to make It appear that the
contracting company did not at first
fail to deliver such quantitie s of rock
as the terms of the agreement speci
fied. Unlooked-for difficulties arose.
The agents of the government knew
this, but, because of the fact that the
Northwest company had presented a
bid far below any other submitted,
there was a disposition' to afford the,
company every reasonable opportunity
to make good. The company has suc-
apedert in overcomlrtg the first dlfflcul
tics and is how furninhlng much more
lock than the contract calls for. It
. has 'arranged for a supply that Will
mfcot all the requirements of the gov
ernment and is In position to success.
fully bid on the contract shortly tQ be
awarded .a The reasonable attitude of
the 'government engineers at the out
set has not only saved a large sum,
but it hajj placed the Northwest Con
struction .Company In position to ac-
'a
cept future contracts at a price greatly
less than that demanded by other
firms. " :
The awarding of the rock contract
necessitates the use of a reasonable
amount of reason, When bids are
asked for the local firm will, It Is to be
presumed, present an offer. If that of
fer Is lowest and best, as will undoubt
edly be the casei.lt will be accepted.
Then the Jestecmed Journa-1 wilt rave
if, k
again for six months or a year, the
Tvhlle the twnpany Is fulfilling its con
tract and the Jetty is being extended.
Jt will appreciate that its constant
misrepresentation has f coutited' for
naught th'jjlt the government fotlows a
plan by wlijclt it gets the best possible
returns for Its investments.

impaired his usefulness as a govern
ment official."
Hitchcock'3 administration of the in
terior department haB stamped him one
of the greatest failures of the age.
For months past he has displayed the
most serene disregard for all the pro
prieties in dealing with his subordin
ates, and has ignored fundamental
rights that even the most thoroughly
accomplished Russian would not dare
interfere with. He has come to regard
all federal office holders in his depart
ment as thieves or grafters, because a
few officials were found to have, been
derelict. Ho has incurred the bitter
and lasting enmity of many senators
and congressmen,' and his pronounced
officialism has aroused a protest every
where. ...
This latest promulgation of the head
of the interior department 4a perhaps
the most astounding of all.. Thomson
was charged with having accepted a
bribe, The charge originated with one
Charles Cunningham, a wealthy sheep
owner, and it became apparent at the
trial that the accusation waB merely
the result of an overzealous disposition
on the part of Cunningham to make
Thomson do his bidding. The Jury In
tended to the evidence and acquitted
the receiver. ,
A few great principles underlie the
foundation of our republic. One Is, In
effect, that the courts shall determine
the igullt or innocence of an accused
person. It to the intent of the consti
tution that the standing of a man ac
cused and acquitted of crime shall not
be impaired; otherwise our courts
would be a failure. A man regularly
adjudged Innocent of crime is, ana
should be In the eyes of the world, as
free from suspicion as if he were never
accused. Hitchcock has gone behind
all this. He has decreed that a man
acquitted of crime Bhall be regarded
with suspicion in future, and, worst of
all, he has committed the government
to hia idea In the matter. Ho has
shown himsef to be un-American in
the broadest sence of the word, and It
is sincerely to be regretted that the
president finds It expedient to keep him
In the Important position which he oc
cupies. America is no place for Mr.
Hitchcock; Siberia offers a better field
for his particular adaptibillty as an ad
inlnlstrator.

AMERICA NO PLACE FOR HITCHCOCK.
The announcement is made from
Washlngtol that Secretary of the In
terior Hlti'ficock has refused to allow
Asa B. T&omson to continue as re
ceiver of the La Grande land office, be
cause of the fact that Mr. Thomson
whs ndlcte by the federal grand Jury
for alleged pml feasance In office. The
specific chars against the official was
that he had accepted a bribe. He was
tried In the federal court by a Jury and
found not guilty.
. "The secretary (Hitchcock) Informed
Senator Fulton."s aay the Washington
announcement, "that the mere tact of
Thomson having been indicted Indicat
ed that 'something waa wrong,' and the
indictment, ! regardless of whether
Thomson was adjudged Innocent, had
NOT ELIGIBLE,
"No person holding a lucrative office
or appointment under the United States
or under this state shall be eligible to
a scat in the 'legislative assembly; nor
shall any person hold more than one
lucrative office at the "same t'me, ex
cept as in this constitution expressly
permitted.- Provided, that officers in
the militia, to which there' is ho an
nual salary, and the office of postmas
terwhere the compensation does not
exceed $100 per annum, shall not be
deemed lucrative,' . , ; . ,,
In nominating Mr.. A.. M. Smith for
state senator, the democrats, or citi
zens, as they' cull themselves, have
overlooked the fact that Mr. Smith is
not eligible to the office of state sen
ator, unless he chooses to resign the
city attorneyship. The office of city at
torney is created underthe constitution
of the Btate ofOregon and is a lucrative
position, ' I
Personally The Astorian has nothing
to say that would in any manner re
flect upon the democratic candidate
even If he were eligible, but this papar
must certainly Insist that a county sev
eral hundred republican has no bush
tiess electing a democrat when , they
have such a candidate as Dr. Jay Tut
tie. Besides a losing fight will have Its
lulluence on the election next year and
the senator chosen next June will have
vote In choosing a successor of
