"CALL" SCRIPT PROMPTLY.
Within the past few days Treasur
er Yates has called $25,000 of county
-warrants outstanding and drawing
interest, and he tells the East Ore
onian that he has fully $20,000 more
at the present time applicable to the
redemption of script, and that he will
make a call within the next ten days
of this amount.
In other words, Mr. Yates has $20,-
empty and with plenty of Beats for
any one who may desire to ride in it.
It has a lonesome appearance. Vot
ers and politicians look at it with al
most pitying expressions of counten
ance. No one applies for room there
in. The driver, mayhap, by dint of
management and skill, secures the
right of way, and It becomes the or
der of the day that this particulai
band wagon may compel others to
move to one side, and permit it to
go whither its driver wills. How
soon does commence the scrambel
for seats! How excited the rush to
get into It! Men erstwhile lukewarm
towards the driver of that hand
wagon suddenly develop an enthus
iasm that is in marked contrast with
the cold demeanor previously mani
fested. Soon the steeds groan with
the too heavy load they are expected
to draw And the band-wagon, but
shor;'. before empty and lonesome
for the driver, has in it a howling
mob that cannot give vent to their
exuberance of feeling. Those who
are near by may secure the best
seats, and, sad to relate, other who
kept too far away in the times when
that baud-wa.Kon was not in such
great demand as a method of political
conveyance, fail to enter the covet
ed limits of the vehicle. And that is
tii-1 way oi I'd't'i-S.
Is not yet clear. The argument made
by him would not, however, Justify
a policy of inaction toward trusts. ;
His own little condensation of Unit
ed States history shows that previous
aggregations of wealth have been
restrained from excesses only by thej
most strenuous and sometimes io
lent action. If the reference to the
landed proprietors, banks, slavehold
ers and railroads teach anything It is
thnt organized wealth needs regula
tion. Of course, regulation does not
mean repression, but It does mean
oversight and watchfulness. Chi

WEALTH IN FIVE PHASES.
A few days ago Mr. Stuyvesant
Fish, president of the Illinois Central,
made a speech at a banquet given at
the Union club of Philadelphia in
celebration of the seventieth anniver
sary' of the founding of the Baldwin
locomotive works. The occasion was
O00 at least of county money idle that, R containel, amoug other thlngs
should be put Into mterest-ueanng a sketch. sllEht. but snlrited. of the
script, at once, without the loss of I succession of contests in the United J
one day, let alone ten. The inter
est on each $1000 of county money
licld idle amounts to $5 per month,
and quite a saving can be effected by
prompt calls of outstanding script.
Mr. Yates has done as well, and
even better, than some of his prede
cessors, in calling Bcrlpt, but there
is still room for improvement. A
sood deal of time is lost in applying

said to be sucking the life blood of
the people. Andrew Jackson did bat-

day the largest visible share of the
wealth of the country."
There was in the first place the
fight against the landed proprietors,
who had put into the "state constitu

tions which kept the suffrage In its
own hands. The result of this fight
was manhood suffrage.
ed that Mr. Yates' successor will do
better than even Mr. Yates has done,
for the county should not be compel
led to contribute to the prosperity of
interest eaters any more than is pos
slble.
The custodiau of public funds of all
men should remember that a public
office is a public trust.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
With fine enthusiasm and an evi
dent intention to co-operate with the
officers, the Pendleton people have
begun to clean away the debris that
has accumulated during the past
months, and, if the present work con
tinue, It will be tho boast soon that
this Is the cleanest town In the
northwest. This certainly pleases
everyone who has civic pride. It
will pay for all the effort that will be
)iit forth. Prompt compliance with
such orders is to be expected from
a people who have won the reputa
tion oi "uelnp the most enterprising of
any in the country. It is the due of
the officials that their movement for
a cleaner Per.dlelon receive support
from all who live here. Suppose
each person residing in Pendleton
determine to lend a hand in this ex
cellent work. Suppose that old and
young, property owners and others,
all without exception, decide to do
some small thing toward the desired
end. It would result In making this
the most attractive town in tho north
coast states, and it would not be far
In the distance when tho town would
bo like any of its citizens in its con
stant demand that everything that
defaces or mars the appearance must
bo removed. Let the people cultivate
the samo thought toward the town
that is entertained by each well-bred
man toward his own yard and lawn.
This Js tho spirit that will compol
such improvements in methods here
that will earn for Pendleton the de
served name of being the cleanest
and tidiest city on tho Pacific slope.
Clean up the town. And lot the good
-work now begun continued.

peculiar to itself. It makes all the

WHAT'S IN POLITICS?
tie with the largest of them and
broke down its power.
The bankers were succeeded by the
slave holders as the object of popu
lar, indignation. The analogy here
seems somewhat strained, but has
its excuse. The emancipation procla
mation and the overthrow of the con
federacy put an end to this phase of
our history.
It did not, however, accomplish
economic equality. The railroads
soon seemed to be acquiring a power
that was dangerous to the country.
Legislatures, therefore, as well as
courts and commissions, set out to
shear the locks of the new Sampson.
Politics played in this case the role
of Delilla. The railroads took to
politics and they lost a large part of
their franchises. Says Mr. Fish:
"None will today advocate the wis
dom of a railroad corporation meddl
ing with politics."
Now It Is trusts, for the common
people, who are always able to
lead the etymologist and the rhetori
cian by tho nose, have decided to
give this name to the vast combina
tions of capital which are threaten
ing to dominate tho industrial world.
In some ways, thinks .Mr. Fish, the
trusts are unfortunate. They have
often been over capitalized; their
plans, have been carried out with
great suddenness, and have seemed
to tho public like so many hideous
apparitions and they have been con
structed on a vast scale.
These disadvantages, however, are
balanced by certain other considera
tions. For Instance, they do not rep
resent anything like so large a share
of the wealth o fthe country as did
in their day olther one nf tho fnnr
other aggregations of capital," that
have been mentioned. And besides,'
their "securities are at the outset,
chiefly hold by thousands of our own
people In comparatively small lots,
instead of being held, as railroad se
curities originally were, in largo lots i
and to a great extent by foreigners." 1
In this respect Mr. Fish seems to bo-.1
Ilevo that the trusts resemble the Il
linois Central, which, when Mr. Fish
entered Its service, Iiml

Co. E. Hofer, editor of the Salem.
Oregon, Journal, always a philoso
pher, has turned his attention to poli
tics with a view or discovering all
there Is worth knowing of the sub
ject. And the following summary ot
his conclusions is really interesting
and worth lingering over:
"The question may come up in the
mind of man or woman or any two
legged political being, what is there
in politics anyway?
"According to a Portland author
ity, with a good many people, who are
innocent or any other source of en
lightenment, it may be explained In
this way:
" 'And now,' says the Salem Jour
nal, 'The Oregonian is explaining the
difference between tho two fnprinnsi
at Portland.' Mistake. The OreKon-
ian is not trying to explain. It is not
necessary to explain. Everybody
knows what the difference is. Each
faction wants to ride the party horse,
and the one that has been riding
hitherto, time out of mind, does not
want to give the other a turn.'
"'The one that has been riding
does not want give the other one a
turn.' That is all there is to politics.
"That is all the whole state is torn
up over, holding corrupting primar
ies, log-rolling assemblages of trick
ery, called conventions, and an ex
pensive election campaign for four
months.
"The follow in the saddle does not
want to let the fellows who want to
ride the beast of burden, called the
taxpayer to have their turn.
