WRONG IN PRINCIPLE.
One of the lessons learned by the busi
ness collapse of 1893 is that the bonds
given by sheriffs and other financially
responsible public servants must be
carefully scrutinized and properly drawn
up if they are to insure the county from
lose through the dishonesty or ineffi
ciency of the principals. This lesson
has been a costly one, not only to Mult
nomah county, but in a large degree to
Columbia . and other counties of the
state. The first requirement of prud
ence in the administration of county
affairs is in choosing capable business
men for the offices; the next is to see
that these officers furnish responsible
bonds, and that no loop-hole is left
through which these sureties can escape
the obligation assumed in the event that
the contingency, against which the re
quirement of "bonds was interposed,
arises. Compliments and confidences
between friends and political and finan
cial bed-fellows are all right, bat it may
be hoped that they will not again be
come ruling factors in the transaction of
the business of Multnomah county.
Oregonian.
We have always thought that the
system of placing public officials under
bonds was a wrong one. It is wrong in
principle, and a failure in practice.
When the people elect a man to office
why should they require of two or three,
or a half-dozen individuals that they
become responsible for the shortcom
ings of the man whom the people have
selected? For instance, Smith and
Jones are opposing candidates for the
office of county treasurer. One political
party has selected Smith and stated to
the world by putting him on its ticket
that it believes him to be strictly hon
est and capable and in every way quali
fied to fill the office. The other polit
ical party does the same thing for Jones
In the election Smith gets two-thirds of
the entire vote of the county. When it
is time for him to assume the duties of
the office to which he has been elected.
the law steps in and says: "While it
is true that you have been selected for
this office by two-thirds of the legal
voters of this county, they cannot be
held responsible for their acts, and you
must have some individuals stand good
for any loss that might occur, provided
the people have made a mistake.
. Smith then hustles around among his
friends, and they become his sureties,
standing good for the people's choice to
the people. Now if the man whom the
people elected, and his friends, perhaps
unwillingly, became surety for, proves
dishonest, the law not bothering much
about Smith, punishes perfectly honest
and reputable citizens for his offense by
fining them and confiscating their prop
erty for the good of the public, for no
offense greater than having confidence
in Smith, whom the people recommend
ed to them by their votes as being wor
thy of that confidence.
We believe the system entirely and
unqualifiedly wrong. We believe that
no bonds should be required, but that
in case of misfeasance or malfeasance in
office the law should punish the offender
himself. That punishment should be
made severe and certain. If the law
must have somebody from whom to re
coup, let it arrange for taking enough
from his relatives, if he has any, to
make good any losses. Let it go further
and render his relations, within certain
degrees, ineligible for any position of
public trust. This would evidently be
unjust, but it would not be as unjust as
the present law.
Let the law recognize the fact that the
criminal is the one to punish, instead
of his friends, and see to it that he is
punished, and there would be no neces
ity for making one or two citizenejof the
county become guarantors that the ma
jority of the voters of the county had
not made fools of themselves in electing
their officers. If the bonding system is
to continue, the laws should be changed,
so that the bondsmen should have some
kind of a show, for they, instead of the
people, should be allowed to elect the
person for whom they become responsi
ble.
A correspondent of the Portland Sun
makes a strong arraignment of the Day
Bros., who have the contract for com
pleting the locks at the Cascades. We
will have something to say upon the sub
ject in the near future, which may prove
of interest to the public generally. As
. to the complaint that the work would
have been completed sooner, if left in
charge of the government officers, we
will say now that the people of Eastern
Oregon, after giving up all hopes of the
work ever being completed by the gov
eminent officers, became - a unit in de
manding the work be finished by con
tract. We do not believe they are yet
sorry for that change.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Mr. Wm. Hav'is no from Hosier, and
called at The Cheonicli office today.
Malor Hartwie. who has been confined
to his bed here for the paBt week, left
this afternoon for Portland. He has
completed his work of surveying and
allotting lands of the Warm Springs In
dians, and will leave for the Jiast in a
few days.
Mr. Frank French, after a brief visit
here, left for Salem this morning to at
tend to his duties in the "third house."

1895, Miss Emma Vogt, of The Dalles, to
Mr. James Thrall, of Kingsley.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.

A Business-Making Book. .
' Every, business man ought to read
'Dollars And Sense," a money-making
book by Nath'l C. Fowler, Jr., the lead
ing expert on business and advertising.
18 chapters, illustrated with 100 plates,
presenting every style of effective adver
tisements, with examples of reading
notices, circulars aud headlines. It
tells the plain truth about advertising
and exposes ineffective methods. Any
reader of The Chronicle who will send
money order or postage stamps to the
value of twenty-five cents to The Trade
Company, Boston, Mass., will receive
the book by prepaid mail.
Fruit Men Will Come.
The mission of Dr. Jay Guy Lewis to
Sacramento was not entirely barren of
results. It is true, the American Porno
logical Society, as a body, did not accept
his invitation, but a number of distin
guished pomologists announced an in
tention to remain on this coast some
time, and will improve the opportunity
to visit Portland during the session of
the fruitgrowers' convention. They will
read valuable papers and take part in
the discusions, so the far East will have
a representative here when the fruit
growers meet.
Idle for Ten Years.
Sandwich, Mass., Jan. 20. Fires will
be started Monday morning in the plant
of the Sandwich glassworks, which have
been idle almost 10 years. Repairs will
be made and everything put into shape
for operating the works at once. This
movement is the result of action taken
by the citizens. At a meeting held last
evening, a sufficient sum was subscribed
to start the works, which will be run for
the present on the co-operative plan.
Discovered Vast Treasure.
San Luis Potosi, M., Jan. 19. Child
ren playing here discovered a cavern.
Several men explored the cave, revealing
an iron chest filled with Spanish gold
coin, amounting to over $250,000. It is
believed the money was placed in the
cave by Franciscan monks.
