JkNOLD TRIUMPHANT.
Surveyor-General Arnold has given
the democracy of the etate of Oregon to
understand that he is surveyor-general ;
that he purposes running the office to
nit himself ; that he will keep his- re
publican clerk as long aa he pleases,
which he says will be daring bis own
incumbency of the office; and that, to
put it briefly, the democracy of Oregon
could go to the d 1 for all he cared.
Mir. Arnold boldly asserts that when the
administration appointed' Mr. John C.
Arnold, the democracy of Oregon was
sufficiently recognized. He further
states that the work of the office is of a
"technical and scientific character,"
which Mr. John C Arnold evidently
thinks is reason enough' why a democrat
should not be entrusted with it.
; We ' heartily agree with Surveyor
General Arnold, and admire the manner
in which his elibre cuts of Saxon speech
alice the Gordian knot; but, as we
stated once before, General Arnold stops
short of the legitimate and logical con
clusions of the premises that he sets np.
Arnold should set forth this same state
of facts to his superior in office at Wash
ington. He should state frankly and
fully that the work of the office was of a
"technical and scientific character;"
that it was lust technical enough for a
republican and too scientific for a demo
crat; and he should append this state
, ment, to emphasize it, to his resigna
tion. If the work in the office is too
technical for a democrat, and Surveyor
General Arnold asserts it is, he should
tarn it over at once to a republican
There may be, though, some salvation
for Mr. Arnold. It was asserted at- the
time the administration ran its fine-
toothed comb through the Oregon de
mocracy's hair in search of talent, that
the murks upon Mr. Arnold's back (po
litical marks) were not such as to con
vey the idea that be belonged to the
old breed. In fact, the straight-out tin
terrified ticklers of the democratic scalp
asserted that certain dark spots indi
cated a leaning towards republicanism
that was superinduced by the fact that
he bad lately left that fold, and that
his yearnings after the flesh pots of th
old party were only permanently over
come by the generous supply of leeks
and onions, manna and quail, and other
toothsome morsels found in the pickings
of the office of surveyor-general of the
great state of Oregon ; morsels which he
felt would be more delectable and de-
glutitory when the culinary department
which possessed both "technical and
scientific characteristics" was presided
over by a republican chef.
Of coarse it is none of our pie. It is a
matter for the unterrified, the untechni
cal and the unscientific to settle among
themselves. It is gratifying, however
to note the charming franknesa with
which the local talent selected by toe
administration for the most obese offices
in the state, with one accord come to the
front and admit that they know enough
to draw their salaries, but that the dem
ocratic ranks do not contain .a man
brainy enough to do the work. It is
perhaps true, though we really always
supposed the old gag about democrats
not being able to read, while having
perhaps a legitimate foundation in
truth, was but a playful and humorous
exaggeration. We are astonished, and
withal pleased, that the demonstration
is made - that the gag - was true. . It
makes as think better of our fellowmen,
when those fellowmen are democrats,
because it serves to excuse them for
many acts of foolishness. We can now
understand why they wanted free trade,
and Wilson, and Gresham, and Queen
Lil, and whole lots of that kind of trash
that they had no use for.
But this is a digression. We appreci
ate the position Mr. Arnold is placed in,
and admire his bold stand in the inter
ests of the people. We haye not the
pleasure of the eurveyor-general's ac
quaintance, but we know he is the man
for the place, and so does he. He is
monarch of all he surveys, and he in
tends to run his man Friday, to suit
himself. Against his office door the
stormy waves of a wild and raging de
mocracy may beat, but they beat in
vain. The storms may. whistle round
his fortress, but what cares be? His
salary is assured, and he has a princi
ple, in fact all , the principles he has
behind him.
Judge Moore at Spokane recently de
cided that all persons in Washington
who had been divorced and had married
again within six months; were illegally
married, and consequently, not , married
at all. As there are some forty cases of
this kind, the decision has caused quite
a stir. The case will be taken to the
supreme court, bat in the meanwhile
parties whom the decision affects do not
know whether to get married again, or
not ; and if they do not, they bardly
know just what position they are occu
pying. " ' -:
Governor' McKin ley says that if the
republican party comes out for free sil
ver he will have nothing to do with the
nomination. It is quite probable that
Governor McKinley will have nothing
to do with the nomination, no matter
what the republican party may see fit to
do concerning silver. .. There are much
larger fish In the republican pond than
W. McKinley of Ohio, Tom Reed of
Maine for one, and Allison of Iowa for
half a dozen.
Judge Stephens of Portland has
broken the record by actually sending
Rev. J, C. Read, who was acquitted of
the charge of attempting to rob a bank,
on the ground that , he was insane, to
the asylum. Evidently the moral wave
struck the feet of the goddess of Justice,
for the thing is entirely out of the usual
order. -- ' - - ? - ,;
Kucsld Is Displeased.
It was the general understanding that
the members of the state board who vis
ited the site for the Eestern Oregon asy
lum last Saturday, were highly pleased
with the selection made by the former
board. But a Salem dispatch to the Sun
contains a different report, and this lat
ter report will no doubt call for a more
complete ' explanation from the secre
tary of state. . The dispatch says : ,. "Sec
cretary of State Kincaid is greatly dis
pleased with the site of the Eastern Ore
gon branch asylum. He states, that the
location is bad, the land low and not
adapted to the raising of such articles
necessary for an asylum, and theclimate
is anything but favorable for the benefit
of the insanes' health. The other mem
bers have not returned to Salem, and
their opinfon on the, subject has not
been ascertained."
