THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.
It tbe supreme court exercised greater
care in the matter of admission of at
torneys to the bar, a vast amount of I
useless and wasteful litigation would be
ovoided. Besides this, a good deal oi
expense made in the prosecution of dis
honest lawyers would be savedT Atl
least one'lawyer is now in tbe peniten
tiary and another is on trial in Portland
for larceny. -Almost any one can be ad
mitted to the bar in Oregon, and it is
poor .credit to the bench and bar that
such- is a fact. -
WATER - COMMISSIONERS MEET
The ueelessnesa of the grand jury w9
never more clenrly demonstrated than
U the case of the United States vs.
Hiss Berger, in which Judge Bellinger
directed the trial jury to return a ver
dict of not guilty. Seven indictments
returned, and not evidence sufficient to
be submitted to the jury ! The expense
of this farce to the United States was
undoubtedly large enongh to have paid
the salary of a good prosecuting attor
ney several months.
The grand jury in the state court is
many times worse than a useless ex
pense. If the salary of prosecuting at
torneys was made large enough so that
attorneys of experience and . ability
would in all caeca accept the office and
give that officer power to bring criminals
to trial by a presentment, and the trial
judge power to remove inefficient prose
cuting attorneys and appoint suitable
ones In their stead, the laws would gen
erally be much more satisfactorily en
- forced and a very considerable share of
the expenses of the .court wiped out
Now witnesses in all criminal cases
pending at the beginning of the term
are, in most judicial districts, subpoenaed
to appear on the first day of the term,
. and are usually kept in attendance un
til, after the trial. This often keeps
witnesses in attendance two or three
weeks.
. If tbe while preliminary investigation,
now made by the grand jury, were left
to the prosecuting attorney, it would be
" better done, and the case set for a day
certain, witnesses subpoenaed to appear
on that day, and thousands of dollars
saved at each term of court. But we
suppose that we shall have to continue
' tinder the present system until we dare
call a constitutional convention.;
i Id the U. S. courts a trial can now be
had on a presentment, and tbe admin
. istration conld save a heap of money by
always placing a competent man in the
office of U. S. attorney and doing away
with grand juries.

ANOTHER CONSPIRACY.
. Some years ago the railroad corpora
tions of this country, which have no
proper place in their anatomy to be
kicked, and' bo spiritual entity to be
damned, conspired to undo the great
West by deinuleizing mules and dehors'
izing horses.- Since then the price of
horses and oats have fallen and fallen
and this magnificent country brought to
the verge of ruin. We. recently Bug'
geeted the free coinage of horsehide as
the sure panacea for tbe ills which this
conspiracy has brought upon us, and the
''great journals of the country were kind
enough to join us, and tbe scheme
.seemed sure oi being adopted by con
grees. But now France has conspired
with some of the bloated gold leeches of
Wall street to further do ns up by in
troducing horseless carriages, a diabol
ical piece of mechanism which kills by
fright the horses which it tries to
cheapen. N .
., When will the nations of Europe
cease to interfere with our monetary
schemes? Let us declare our independ
ence of them again. Let the govern
xnent place Its brand on every horse in
the land and declare it worth fifty dol
lare; or if the Astoria eanneries must
have the flesh for canning, let this good
government put its stamp on the hide,
then we will have money ' in plenty ;
and if Van DeLasbmutt's silver mines
are not enhanced in va'.ue, his horses
will make him rich again, all Oregon
will prosper and shout itself hoarse.

In addition to tbe amount of caBh re
norled on hand there are over SloUU in
warrants drawing 8 per cent interest
These, of course, represent assets. From
the whole report it can readily be seen
that the finances of tbe water fund are
in good condition and it is only a matter
of time when the teonded debt shall be
entirely paid. The secretary's report
was read and adopted. A warrant was
ordered - drawn in favor of the city for
the payment of the interest installment
upon tbe bonds. The amount was $750.
When this routine business was dis
posed of, the matter of tbe water meters
came uu for discussion. Meters win oe
placed throughout town as quickly as
possible and it is hoped in this way to
regulate the waste of water. Regarding
the rates it was moved and carried that
tbe charge up to 200,000 gallons remain
as it is at present, 16 cents per thous
and gallons. The rate for water over
200.000 gallons and ur to 300.000 was
fixed at 12) cents and for any amount
over 800.000 a rate of 10 cento per- 1000
gallons will be charged. The secretary
was authorized to make notification of
the new schedule. -
The board decided to instruct W. H.
Wilson to proceed on the note of the
city held against George Watkins.
A motion was carried that Superin
tendent Norman be ordered to lay on
Eleventh street, from Union to Liberty,
the two inch pipe, which bad been taken
up on Fourth street.
As this completed tbe business before
the commission a motion to adjourn, was
quickly carried.

THE JURISDICTION QUESTION.
If the question of concurrent jnrisdic
tion over, the waters of the Columbia
were carried to its logical conclusion
there would be no salmon fishing bv
Oregon fishermen. The law of Wash
inn ton requires the fisherman to take
out a license. To obtain a license the
applicant must have been a resident of
Washington for eix months; hence Ore
gon fishermen can get no licenee from
Washington, and in fishing without one
ara guilty of an offense againet the
Washington law, and . liable to arrest
anywhere on the Columbia. The Aeto
rians better look both ways, or the
Washirgtonians will retaliate aid al
Astoria be landed in the jails of Wash
ington. The controversy is beneficial to the
fish ; let the good fight go on to the ex
treme, and the royal chinook will flap
their tails and rejoice.

Over 350 men are now employed at
the Locks. - The water has long been
out of the canal and men are at work
fixing the floor of the portion just below
the bulkhead. A dredger is at work at
the extreme npperend and can be moved
to any part of tbe canal. A bridge will
soon be built across ine excavauoa so
that trains can cross and then the taking
out of the bulkhead . will oe began.
Everything looks favorable to an early
completion of the undertaking.
. Overwork, either physical or mental
will produce weakness -and loss of. en
ergy. Too many business or lamuy
cares, overwork in the barvebt held, an
excess of woman's work and worry will
produce months of misery. To prevent
this, the exhausted system should be re
inforced - immediately. Dr. J. H.
McLean's Strengthening Cordial and
Blood Purifier is an appropriate remedy.
