A moat algnlflcant cir cumstance Is the evidence afforded by vthe f correspondent between Post- ' master-General Payne and Xamea X, Tyaei, Assistant Attorney-General for the 1 department, showing that ' the former was aware several months ago . that there had been very serious mal feasance on the part of soma of hla aubtirdlndtea. So thoroughly was Mr. Payns aatlsfied of this that he took the extreme step of demanding Tyrwr'i resignation. It baa been notorious that the Postmaster-General has been strongly opposed to the investigation notv in progress, and H 'would not have been undertaken hut for the insistence of President RoosevehY It is a reason able! Inference that Mr. Payne's bp , position sprang from the realisation thai Investigation would result In the exposure of such widespread frauds as to bring discredit not only upon his owl administration ot tne department. but "upon his party as welt From present appearances it seems that this fear may be realised, for not since the days of the Star Route ring has so , much .corruption, in the government service been unearthed. , . . , The true character of Tyner's wrong , doing may not become known until the Attorney-General succeeds in gaining i possession o'f the books and pepers which Mrs. Tyner, acting under her ' husband's direction, abstracted from . the cote In the department offices.

But there are many other Issues which President-Bbosevelt has touched uptmliUrgadr and - wtHete-. Jl will probably-tjiscuss ngaia before his swing- around the circle 1 concluded.

' v The uddreases delivered by the Preatdent during the remainder of his tpur will be heard and read with deep attention. The people will welcome all such Information as to the views of their, President, "especially since he is seeking a second term. But It may well be questioned whether the speeches which he has thus far made have Im proved his" prospects of renomlnatlon and re-eleotion.- : , The President'! trip Is ostensibly non-political in Its purpose, but 'every one understands that its primary ob ject la ttr: ensure hla renomlnatlon. Kver'y whre he has been greeted with that loyal enthusiasm which the Amer ican people are wont to accord to their Chief Kkecuttve. Democrats as well as KepubJtcaJul hare been eager to give him heartiest weloome. The aud itoriums where he has' spoken have been packed, for he is a forceful and an intertettigr speaker. But those who look upon these pop ulucjjerhonstrtlons as evidence that the Presidents views on national is sues art thereby sealed with the ap proval of the public, are drawing deductions which fre exceedingly un safe.

President Roosevelt Is about to re sume' his tour of, the western Cities, having Concluded his outing in Yellow- ystone Park. Presumably he Will again begin the delivery of addresses upon topics of national Interest. There can be little- doubt that many of the Re publican party leaders would be much better pleased If the President were more circumspect In the expression 6f his Views. He has an Undiplomatic habit Of stating his ideas very plainly and emphatically, leaving little room j. vi uurnupiu quanricauon or ex planation, and In consequence his sup porters sometimes nnd themselves considerably embarrassed. Aa Illustration Is to be found in Roosevelt's recent declarations con cerning the trusts and tariff revision. Hs haS 'placed himself squarely on record as opposed to any modification of the present tariff (a position, by the way, directly at variance with that Which he CCOTud a year ago) and to . a very large element of the Republican party this declaration of policy was exceedingly, distasteful. The "Iowa Idea-" has a strong hold upon Intelligent Republicans, and the belief is growing among them that only by tariff revision can the trust evil be checked.

It is a cardinal principle of England's foreign policy that having once en tered upon a fight in any part of the world she must neves' let go, but must hang on with bulldog tenacity to the bitter end.

N0THINGI The Journal has heretofore published the salient features of the report of the expert on the conduct of the offl e of 'the County Clerk for tha sts years prior to July .1, 1902, The statements a published were not exaggerated In tha slightest. On the' contrary, much lmpo tant matter was omitted. Briefly Btetad, the expert's report sh, w, first, shortages in the accounts of certain officials which, when checked u., will doubtless be made good, and. seo v ond, rebate and settlements for taxes d io ruiinlng Into thousands of dollars f ofl which he can (flndt no substantial rations. ' For -some reason wh lea we Wnl not undertake to fathom, or speculate on, the other dally newspapers of the city have barely referred to a report which has revealed facts of an, astounding nature to thla community, facts. In which every taxpayer, has a direct Interest. If anything further was needed to show that - for yeara thin city suffered for lock of a newspaper that dares to print the news, tha' suppression or failure to print the facts shown by this report Is proof enough. Remembering that these proceedings were practically continuous performance for two years, recalling tha constant criticisms of the conduct of certain, of. tha oounty offices. It passe belief how they all escaped ' the argus-eyed representative of the modern newspaper, and even now the loss of hundreds- of 'thousands of dol lars la too- small a matter to be dignified by discussion in Journal which eet tle and discuss .only International matter and determine tine whys and where fores of the battles otbe last war, the reputation of - military gentlemen, with an occasional dash Into the realms of theology or linens as applied to th World and not to the affairs of Multnomah County. Be that as it .may. The Journal will for the present dp its best to better local conditions and in this connection desires to say to tha -Board of County Commissioners that-tha taxpayers of thla county desire to hear from them on thla subject, There Is no disposition-too prejudge or to act hastily, but those who hava paid their taxes for alt these years want to, and intend te know, if there ia no remedy 'for the resulKof. their-action aa shown iy thl report. Th Board of County OonusUaalonars ha a plain duty te perform. . They must go to the ibottom of all this ugly business and hew to the line, let the chlpa faU where they may. This much and no leas will satisfy th people of thl Com munity,, and the sooner it is done the better. If the expert's report and con clusions ara wrong, let It be known; If right let us knjow whether we are remedi less or not '. if. .-'v4.
