WHERE CREUIT BELONGS.
Facts are facts, and truth must
prevail. There is nothing gained
Ty misrepresentation. Consequently
"when the Mountaineer credits Judge
Blakele3' ,with having raised county
warrants to par, that paper placed
"credit where it does not belong.
Four years ago," says the Moun
taineer. "Wasco county warrants
were discounted from 10 to 15
cents." This is not the fact. Dr.
Ijngan, who is one of the heaviest
warrant buyers of the county, says
that in 1892 warrants were at par.
In 1893, (by the way, under Blake
ley's administration) they fell to 90
cents, and for very small amounts,
even as low as 85 cents. The
Chronicle is not so unfair as to
charge this deterioiation to Judge
Blakelfcy's incumbency in office, and
is perfectly satisfied to give the true
reason. It is this. In 1893 was the
great panic, when banks were daily
bursting all over the country, and
the money market was congested to
particularly aggravating degree.
Everyone knows that cash was the
scarcest of all commodities, conse
quently county warrants were not
"bought unless under the most? allur
ing offers. Let us reason together.
The Mountaineer says.
. Four years ago Wasco county war
ranto were discounted from 10 to 15
per cent.
People who performed
services for the ' county were com
pelled to take 85 and 90 cents on the
dollar for their work. Now they get
dollar for dollar, are paid in full for
their work. Why is this ? Because
the management of county affairs is
conducted on business principles.
Those who perfoim any service for
the county will therefore re elect
Judge Blakeley. -
Now if warrants bring par at the
present time, and only brought 85 to
90 cents four years ago, there mu3t
be a reason for it, and that reason
must be a vast reduction in the
county debt. The facts are that the
county debt is a trifle in excess of
what it was in 1892. The figures on
file at the clerk's office showing the
jiet liabilities are as follows:

76 098
. 66,861
' 77,747
51 ,377
63,973
1896 56,337
Perhaps the best evidence as to
why Wasco county warrants bring
par would be that of Judge Blakeley
himself. He has often expressed
himself at the clerk's office? and said
that the county clerk, Mr. A. M.
Kelsay, is to be credited for warrants
selling at par. It was Mr. Kelsay
who found a market in Portland for
our warrants, when they were selling
at 90 to 95 cents, believing that war
rant holders were entitled to face
value if there was a possible way of
securing itl He therefore ; found
warrant buyers in ' Portland who
would pay 97 to 98, forcing local
buyers to bid par value for them.
The Chronicle therefore respect
fully represents that warrants were at
par four years ago; that the panic
reduced them as it reduced all other
values ; that there is no logical reason
for warrants - to be higher than in
1892 because the county debt
is about the same; and that if
credit is due any county officer, it is
due Mr.. Kelsaj' for forcing warrant
buyers to pay face value for them.
A business view of the congres
sional situation is thus outlined by
the Commercial Review, a leading
trade paper of Portland : "In ' this
(second) congressional district the
Republicans have nominated a
staunch protectionist in William R.
Ellis. Two of his 'competitors are
known as free traders, and the other,
H. II. Northrup, who has come out
as an independent candidate at the
instigation of Messrs. Scott and Si
mon to defeat Mr. Ellis, will- cut no
figure outside cf Multnomah county.
He will hardly get enough votes to
do Mr. Ellis any injury. - The busi
ness men from the Second congres
sional district will not throw their
votes away on him, especially the
wool men, and all will work for Mr.
Ellis' re-election. We do not want
a free trader. We must have a hieb
tariff candidate, and the citizens, of
this district know that Mr. Ellis is
their friend and will increase his ma
jority of two years ago."
.The Japanese have' again given
evidence of their practical ideas. In
stead of presenting medals to the
soldiers who especially distinguished
themselves in the late war with China,
the government has purchased 18,000
watches, at $2.50 each, in Switzer
land, which will be given to the brave
fellows."

to know what a splended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's nee of Chamberlain's .Cough

cold. - My head was completely stopped
np and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this 'remedy freely as soon ns the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
