FARMERS AND POLITICS.
Our esteemed correspondent "Obser
ver" voices the sentiment of the Chbo
icle exactly when he insists that
methods of reform in the politics of the
country, will be best worked out, under
existing circumstances within, the lines
of the old parties and that if the farmers
desire better and purer politics they
must .pay particular attention to the
primaries and see that the men sent to
the county conventions are not - such as
can be cajoled or bought by ring politic
ians whose sole object is their own . ag
graudezement. For years the farmers
have been complaining because ho little
attention was being paid by our legisla
ture to their wants, whereas the cause
for this neglect lav larjrelv at their own
doors. They have had next to nothing
to say about the nominations for office
The politicians "fixed" the primaries
before hand and men were sent to the
conventions to do their bidding. Those
whom the politicians could not use must
be left at home. Thns the candidates of
the bosses were nominated and the
farmers of course helped to elect them,
and then kept up a growl till the time
came for holding the next primaries
when the same thing was repeated. AnJ
the same thing will happen between
this and next June unless recent politi
cal agitation shall have taught the
farmers that if they want clean politics,
honest and efficient state and county
officers and legislation adapted to meet
their best interests they must guard the
primaries as a sacred trust.
. BALLOT REFORM.
Very few will agree with the critique
that appeared in the Oregonian a few
days ago on the new system of voting
adopted by the last legislature. The
Spokane Review very properly says : .
The Oregonian id finding iault with the
new plan before it has been put to a test
in Oregon. It thinks that
"it is a troublesome system, tne ma
chinery is cumbersome, the cost af hold
ing elections will be much increased,
the polls will be obstructed, voting will
bo delayed, busymen will not -find time
to wait, and the whole system will be a
a nuisance. The Australian
ballot law is merely a scheme of idea
lists and visionaries, and it may safely
be predicted that after its first general
trial in Oregon mere win De a general
In Washington, where the new law
lias been given a fair trial, the people
think diffeaently. . Of course, more or
less inconvenience always attends the
changing of the old for the new, but this
soon disappears.- It is then seen that
voting is not delayed or obstructed, that
busy men are not annoyed, and that bet
ter still there is a close, approach to the
ideal election , of an honest ballot and a
fair count. At the last etate election in
Spokaue. we are asswrred by the party
managers of both parties, not a 5 cent
piece was expended for the purchase of
vptes. Here nobody thinks of demand
ing a return to the old. conditions. At
most a few changes might be suggested
in the way of simplifying tiie election
machinery, but these need not impair
the usefulness of the method.

Florence, Lane county, is making ac
tive strides of growth. The completion
of the jetty, now in active construction,
will give Florence a good harbor, and
with the construction of a railroad to
Eugene, Lane county will have a lively
seaport city. It will be an advantage -to
farmers, the same as to those who can
ship their wheat via Yaquina.
Justices of the peace do not cut much
figure in this state, as the supreme court
has held that an action for anv ' amount
can be brought in the superior court
According to this decision the poor just
ice of the peace holds an office in name
but is really out of a job. This, says the
Catholic Oaiette, is the judicial way of
getting rid of a "relic of barbarism"
simply outvoting them.
. The house of Cash -Cash, an old and
well-known Indian, formerly judge on
the Umatilla reservation,' was destroyed
with nearly all its contents by fire, Fri
day forenoon. The fire is said to have
resulted from a red-hot stove. So rapid
was the spread of the flames that but
few things could be saved. The house
had five rooms, and was the best built
on the reservation by an Indian. There
was no insurance, and the loss is quite a
severe one tor j uage uash-uasn.
Hillory Butler, of Seattle, will pay to
the board of county commissioners $25,
000, the amount being in, settlement of
one of three suits in which King county
is plaintiff and Gvorge D. Hill and his
bondsmen are defendants.' This is
probably due to the fact that recently he
sold a valuable pieee of property, but
payment for the same has been refused
until the claim of the county against him
is settled. He will pay the total amount
of the claim, $25,000, a'ndwill then come
back at his fellow-bondsmen to secure
the return of their proportion.
Victor Raymond applied for work at
the home of Hardee Mansfield, near
Athena, 'and was referred to a place
where he might get a job. Hardee then
rode away, being ready to start to town,
but kept watch" of the fellow, whom he
saw enter the bouse of Frank Mansfield,
which was unoccupied. He there stole
some blankets, provisions, and a fur cap,
and was makiqg off with the plunder
when Hardee rode back and arrested
him -at the point of a shotgun. The
prisoner was coinmited to jail in Pendle
