The Dangers Incident to Laxity in tlie
Issue of Bonds by Public
' . Officials. '
Kansas City, Mo., March 22. A very
interesting case is on trial here just now.
It is an action to punish eix leading and
influential citizens for contempt. ' Over
twenty years ago it was proposed by out
side alleged capitalists to build the Te
beau and Neosho railroad. - To aid the
enterprise St. Clair and Csbs counties
each voted $750,000 in bonds. The road
was never built and the counties repudi
ated the indebtedness. The bonds, how
ever, fell into the hands of innocent
third parties, who brought suit and ob
tained judgment against each county;
Up to the present time the counties
have successfully resisted the collection
of tke . judgment. Recently ' ' United
States Judge Phillips ordered the county
judges to make a special tax levy for the
purpose of liquidating the indebtedness
The county judges as well as the people
of the counties were determined not to
pay for what they did not receive and
declined to make the special . levy.
J udge runups declared tbem. to be in
contempt of his court and ordered them
to appear before him March 8th to re
ceive . their sentences. . The ludges
pleaded lor time in wnicn to arrange a
compromise and . Judge Phillips gave
them until today. So intense is the pop
ular prejudice against paying this rail
road debt, that rather than incur the
odium that would attach to the ; respon
sibility of providing for its payment, the
county judges, six in number, will suffer
the punishment for contempt unless
they arrange a compromise with the
holders of the bonds.
Win. B. Morrison's Status.
Chicago, March 22. That a prophet
is not without honor save in " his own
country has a pitiful exemplification in
the case of the veteran tariff reformer,
Col. William R. Morrison. But for the
malignant hatred of the democratic poll
ticians in Illinois, ana especially in
Chicago, Morrison would be among the
foremost if not the foremost of the can
didates for the presidential nomination
Mating him because tney nave never
been able to uee him, realizing that if he
were made president he would he presi
dent, they are ready to send the' presi
dential - nomination anywhere but to
Illinois. Much of this unfriendliness of
politicians grows out of Morrison's early
and courageous fight in the house for
tariff reform. In 1885 Morrison stood
almost alone as'a tariff reformer. , Presi
dent Harrison had not yet taken up the
tariff issue. The honors that Morrison
then won have been .lost- to him. The
opposition and resentment engendered
have stack by him. .
One Man Compels s Lack Out.
Joliet, HI., March 22. The nail mill
connected with' the . Lambert barb-wire
mill is still closed on account of a strike,
throwing out 100 employes. ' This may
result in closing the barb-wire mill, em
ploying 1,000 men. Tbe strike was pre
cipitated by the manager hiring a new
night superintendent and giving the
former one his .old machine. He took
the machine, .but later changed his mind
and told the employes he was discharged
Mr. Lambert says he thinks the strike
is the outcome of the Lockport demon-
etration, which was held to - encourage
the locked-out men of the Grant barh-
wireniir. -V ' '- '.' ':.
Deadly Explosion.
- East , Jobjdak, Mich., March 21. A
boiler in the East Jordan mill exploded
this morning, .instantly . killing Simon
Carney, i Peter Sheldon,'. John Brown
Bert Cook and Emanuel Hunt, and serf
ously injuring four otners, and more or
less badly hurting a score more. The
mill is a total wreck; Lobs $10,000. v

r Rockefeller's "Thank Offering."
Titdsville, Pa., March 22. Referring
to the forlorn situation of .affairs here
amongst independent oil producers, and
the recent thank offering made by John
D. Rockefeller, $1,000,000 to the univer
sity of Chicngo, the Citizen says : "He
epeaks to 65,000,000 people, and .comparatively-few
of tbem know that every
dollar of this 'thank offering' to God has
been wrong from the . reeking ruin of
Rockefeller's men engaged in the petrol
eum industry. Here are families left
to struggle with poverty because their
heads have been driven to ; suicide- by
hopeless losses in their business of pro
ducing petroleum. : Here are properties
which a few months since were worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars, now
being sold by the sheriff at from 10 to 20
cents on the dollar.. For .these things
the Standard oil trust, of which Rocke
feller is the head, is directly responsible.
Last August the trust lowered the price of
oil in every producing field ia Pennsyl
vania from 5 to 20 cents a barrel. . Since
then the producers have not been able to
get more. than 65 cents - per barrel, and
average price has been less than 60 cents.
Oil properties are - now unsaleable and
producers cannot get 'the cost out of
their ; production." The - standard Oil
trnst has since appointed a committee,
within themselves, to wind up affairs,
and dissolve. ....

' .
Indianapolis, March 22. At the . fun
eral of one of the .victims of the fire
which destroyed the female reformatory
March 1st, Minnie Johnson, one of the
three girls who had been suspected of
starting the fire, confessed she did it
Minnie was sent up front Richmond two
years ago on conviction of theft. When
all by herself she ignited an ironing
cloth at a gas jet, and threw it upon a
shelf under a slairway. From - this
started the fire which wrecked ' the
building. In her confession she said she
had not intended to ; fire the building,
but simply to create a scare to get even
because Patsy Williams, a colored girl,
had been separated from her. Between
them an '. unnatural ' intimacy ; had ex
isted.
The Kansas Judges Committed.
Kansas City,. March 22. Late this
afternoon Judge Philips, of the United
States circuit court, sentenced .Judges
Ray, Blaine and George, of Cass county
to jail until they make some arrange
ments for the payment of bonds voted by
that county twenty years ago, in aid of
the Tebo and Neoshi railroad. He also
imposed a fine of $500 on each of the
three. The sentences of the St. Clair
county judges were postponed until
Monday.
' Retaliation.
Washington, March 22. Senator
Higgins today proposed an amendment
to Senator Morgan's Canadian retalia
tion measure, so as to provide that the
exclusions shall extend to goods which
are intended (o be conveyed in transit
from the United States, or any port
therein, through Canada, to places or
ports in the United States,- and to ex
ports from Canadian ports.

- - The Oldest Gunner Dead.
The oldest gunner in the United States
navy, the venerable George Sirian, died
the: other day in Portsmouth, Va. His
life -was full of - romance . and adven
tures. Born in 1817, on the. Greek isle
of Ipsalia, he -was' made & homeless or
phan by the attack and massacre by the
Turks of the inhabitants of that island
in 1825. " The bombardment of the Turks
by the old Constitution "Old Ironsides'
saved, the lives of a large number, and
he was among eleven boys who survived
and were brought away by that gallant
old-vessel.-. He was brought home by
Lieutenant Randolph, of Riphmond, the
executive officer of the ship. ' y
' Later he was taken by Mr. Marshall.

Lieutenant Randolph and by him taught

The Bland Bill Takes up the Balance of
This' Week in Idle Talk tost
If Won.
Washington, March 22. The musty
files of the board of engineers, relative to
the dalles portage, must now come out
of their pigeon holes at no distant day,
and we shall see what we shall see con
cerning this subject. It may be said
without fear or doubt, now that the Cas
cade work is finally and fully" provided
for that the dalles must be provided for
soon, and in such way as to secure the
completion of the work both at the Cas- :
cades and at the dalles at about the
same date. In Oregonian circles here- "
one thing is not lost sight of. Gov. '
Pennoyer's letters assisted very much to
enliven the issue, and briDg about the .
desired results, and while it is quite
probable no appropriation will be made
for the dalles portage this session, - the .
senate will do much necessary work,, un- .
der the bills introduced by Senators
Mitchell and Dolph, and this will make
the final work all the more ready' of ac
complishment. It has all along been
contended, by members most deeply in
terested, that there could be no use for
permanent improvement at the dalles,
until the cascades work was finished,
but so soon as this latter improvement
was assured, then work at the dalles
should rapidly proceed. The - cascade
canal will no longer engross the atten- .
tion of the engineers. . It has passed out
of their hands completely, and they have .
already in view plans for a boat railway '
which can be completed in five years,
and can be used as a means o' transpor
tation any time after six months work of
construction upon it. All this should be
encouraging signs of the times for Ore
gon, and especially so for Eastern Ore
gon; The appropriation bill will not be
seriously tampered with, as was to have
been expected, by the anti-"billion dol-.
lar congress" factionists, but it is gen- -erally
admitted that no separate hill can
possibly pass the house, in view of the
immense sum which is now given Ore
gon in the general bill under considera
tion.
Worse than Wasted.
Washington, March 22. If the demo- .
crats in the house would listen to tlie
voice of reason, they would not waste a
moment of time discussing the silver
bill. Since it is absolutely certain that
the president will veto the act if it passes, -nothing
is to be gained by the discussion
in a party sense leyond what has been
gained already. It is possible that the
public will hear soon that this subject -has
been indefinitely postponed, and the
responsibility will rest upon the presi
dent who has next to officially pledged
himself to veto the act if it passes. But,
of course, this week having been agreed
upon, the house proceedings will be
more than usually interesting, as the
Bland silver bill is the special ordei 'for
three days, beginning today. . A large
number of members desire to speak on
the question, and an effort will be made
to reach an agreement between the
friends and opponents of free coinage,- .'
provided that the debate and consider- ,
ation of the bill by paragraphs shall run
the whole week. Xo understanding has .
been reached, however, as the silvermen :
wantthe agreement to include a stipu
lation that a vote shall be taken at the'
end of the week without indulgence in
filbnstering tactics ; but the anti-free
coinage democrats are not, as a body, .
willing to bind themselves in this par- -tienler.--'
