We have repeatedly called attention to
the fact that the fees of tbe clerk and
sheriff of this county are outrageously
high. We make the 'statement and
challenge contradiction that the clerk's
fees amount to more than $10,000 a year.
The sheriffs' are not so large but they
too, must be cut down, to something
within the limits of reason and common
sense. We refer to this matter now in
order to sa'y that if the convention that
meets here next Saturday is not con
trolled entirely by the enemies of the
people, steps should be taken to pledge
each candidate on the legislative ticket
to work for the passage of a bill that
shall place these offices on a reasonable
salary or otherwise cut down the fees to
some reasonable limit. A good bill of
this character would save to the county,
annually, a sum of money nearly equal
to a five mill tax on all the property in
the county. Will the republican con
vention so manifest its sympathy with
an overtaxed people as to attack this
The Pendleton Tribune rakes the Ga
zette, fore and aft, for expressing its
opinion on the congressional fight. We
do not desire to enter into any personal
controversies, says the Gazette, if Mr.
Leasure is the strongest man, we have
been seriously misinformed, and, too, by
members of the republican party hailing
from all parts of the district. There is
one thing we do know; that there is one
man who is spoken of for congressional
honors, who has nothing to defend,
either in public or private life, and that
man is Hon. W. R. Ellis..
The county conventions of the two
great political parties are approaching
and there never was a time in the his
tory of this county when the necessity
was so urgent that only the right kind
of men be sent to the state conventions
to nominate the state ticket. The
Chronicle has no candidate but it warns
the parties concerned that if any one is
put on the legislative tickets of either
party who is even remotely allied with
xne rauroaa mnuence we will do every
thing in our power, publicly and
-privately to down him.
Senator Mitchell has succeeded' in ob
taining an order from tho secretary of
war, relieving the governor, of Oregon
from responsibility for the loss of gov
ernment property in possession of the
Oregon National Guard and destroyed
by fire at The Dalles, Oregon, September
2, 1891. Instructions have been for
warded to the governor from the war de
partment, authorizing him to drop the
destroyed articles from his annual reports
for the year ending December' 31, 1891.
A Portland paper announces that Joe
"Simon proposes to be absent during the
coming election. It is stated that he
goes to Europe on an extended trip
This will be good news to many, espec
ially the part that relates to the exten
sion of the trip. Probably the trip is a
political exile. A going up Salt Creek,
as it were, before the election.

The average weight of a measured
bushel of Oregon wheat is sixty pounds.
This exceeds the average of any state ia
the Union by half a pound. It ia half a
pound higher than California, a pound
higher than Washington, and a pound
and a half over the average for the whole
United States. North Dakota wheat is
the lightest, averaging only 56.8 pounds'

The Portland Dispatch has revamped
the old lie about H. W. Scott's wanting
to Succeed Mr. Dolph in the . United
States senate. This particular lie is so
stale and ancient and maloderous that
the Dispatch should have disinfected it
before it was again brought before. .the
public nostril. Compared with this one
