MANIFESTLY UNJUST.
The Times-Mountaineer of May
14th invites an investigation of the
financial condition of Dalles City
during the incumbency of Robert
Mays as mayor, hoping that the com
parison will prove disadvantageous
s between the city mayor and the
ounty . judge "What it can estab
lish detrimental to the mayor is- be
yond our imagination. The duties
and jurisdiction of these officers are
entirely dissimilar. While the mayor
of the city is merely a presiding
officer, the county judge has absolute
control of the policy of the county.
The mayor cannot be ' blamed nor
praised for what the council does.
His duties are to preside and to de
cide points of order. He has no
vote, except in case of a - tie. It is
true be may advise, and a good
mayor will never hesitate to express
..' his views whenever any matter of
. moment is being discussed. On the
contrary the ,power of the county
judge is almost autocratic
Hobt. Mays had the misfortune to
Tie mayor during the hardest blow
the city has ever undergone. The
great fire of 1892 swept away the
greater part of the city below the
bluff.- A million dollar loss resulted.
The fire was ho great the spirit of
incendiarism was evoked, and shortly
after other fires were started, but
were fortunately checked. The city
was full of lawless and vicious char
acters and martial law had to be re
sorted x.
Previous to, the fire the city ex
penditures were running along about
evenly with the receipts. Every
dollar of city tax ana license was
needed for" running expenses. After
the fire there was a great emergency
to be met. There were the burned
crosswalks to be rebuilt, water pipes
to be replaced", salary of specia1
police to be paid.the entire reconstruc
tion of the fire department, etc., al
together about a $16,000 loss to the
city. With the immense loss of tax
able property, depreciated values on
the remainder, and these tremendous
losses piled on top of all, it would be
little wonder if the city ran behind,
especially under a law that city tax-
ation could under no circumstances
exceed five mills.
fairness in all things must be ex
tended. .It is manifestly unjust to
charge Robt. ALiys, presiding officer
of a body of men, with the 'financial
losses of a city ruined by ' a tre
mendous disaster. We do not think
Mr. Mays bitterest enemy, if he has
one, would do it, and it is inexcusa-
ble even; fpr a partisan newspaper.
"Cleveland intends to get himself
nominated again,'- said a New York
business man who went to Washing
ton this week especially to - find out
Mr. Cleveland's intentions, "and he
is going to get up a war scare, per
haps an actual war, in order to bell)
his chances of election, which, strange
to say, he thinks are already goodJ
The publication of the name of the
man who used this language would
create a big sensation, but it was
only upon a pledge that it would
not be dope that the man to whom
he talked repeated it to a Washing.
ton correspondent. There is plenty
of evidence in sight indicating: that
the man corredjy stated Mr. Cleve
land's intentions. The activity of
the administration agents in fighting
the silver democrats is known to be
personally directed, by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and recent movements in con
nection with Cuban affairs are sig
nificant. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee never
would have been sent to Cuba as
consul general if he had only been
expected to perform the ordinary
duties of that position; 'duties for
which he is entirely unfitted, not
only by lack of business experience,
but becaase he can neither speak
nor read the Spanish Janguage.
Just what his part of the game is to
be is not yet apparent, but it may be
set down as certain that he has a
part, an important part, to pla3r. So
too, with the strong squadron of
war ships which the administration
has been gathering in Hampton
Roads for many months. These
vessels are, it is. believed, gathered for
a purpose. It will be remembered
that the Spanish minister cabled to
hi9 government several months ago
that Mr. Cleveland had promised to
keep his hands, off the Cuban revo
lution until June. It looks like that
promise was going to be kept. After
June the Democratic convention will
beheld. Then Mr. Cleveland will
know whether that war scare will be
worth while. : '
