MAltCH 20.1890
City aad. CeHBtj- Ottcial Paper.
A VITAL ISSUE.
Atabt from party work or partisan
effort, The MoBxnra Astortax ex
presses the belief that it would ben
good thing if the three men that Clat
sop county sends to the next legisla
ture would be men who are pledged
to work and vote, for the repeal of
that ally law which exempts indebt
edness. Such exemption places pre
mium on fraud, hinders theprogress o
the state and is a blot upon the es
cutcheon of the commonwealth. Let
it be clearly understood, and an issue
in the contest, that the state senator
and the two representatives that Clat
sop sends to Salem shall be pledged
to use effort and argument against
the further continuance of such an
cient mistake.
This paper has strenuously advo
cated such repeal, and now takes the
practical ground that if the people of
this state want to have that exemption
of indebtedness clause repealed, they
can do it The way to do it is to make
up the next legislature of men who
will see that it is done.
This is the people's opportunity; it
is the opportunity of all of us of small
means who are paying the taxes of the
state, while those who ought to pay
heir share go free though well able to
stand their quota.
If the voters of Clatsop county are
awake to the issues of the day they will
ask the man or men who asks them for
their votes, "are you in favor of repeal
ing the indebtedness clause?' This is
the one vital issue before the voters
of Oregon, so far as the legislature is
concern ed.
' THE MASCOT COIN.
The Latest Caper of Giddy Damsels.
COUNTY POLITICS.
The Mascot coin is an innovation of
a genuine romantic sort. I met a
young man who carries one of them
day and night, and he declares that
all the wealth of the Yanderbilts
could notbuyitfromhim. It is only
a $5 gold piece, but it is a coin of
magic value in fact a protection from
all ills, a magnet of fortune, and above
all, a signet of endless love, for the one :
who wears it And when it is consid
ered what a very strange journey this
little gold piece has taken any man
but a scoffer at sentiment would be
ready to admit that its qualities indeed
must be rare ones. In the first place,
to have a Mascot coin one must have
a sweetheart. The lovlier this sweet
heart the more potent the charms of
coin. Sweetheart makes a present of
the coin to her lover but before it
passes irrevocably into his posses
sion it has an exciting time
of it In the thrilling half
lights of the back drawing-room the
coin is passed from the hand of the
girl to that of the man. Then the lat
ter carefully, gently and with the ut
most respect for the ceremony, drops
it down the neck of the girl, taking es
pecial care that it descends under even
the last delicate film of clothing. The
girl immediately becomes the active
agent at this juncture, and by moving
about, and perhaps hopping up
and down a little, manages to
sift the coin down on the floor. If,
by some rare chance, the gold lodges
in the top of the stocking, then it
must be worked down to the heel,
from whence it is cut out by the
young man. This latter result clothes
the coin with an added power, though
the shorter trip is quite sufficient to
invest it with all the magic that the
average young man requires in his
daily life. The story of this new in
vention was told at a club dinner a
few days ago, and the effect was elec
trical. " Within a month no love
affair will be complete with
out its Mascot coin. One
intensely lovely girl, on hearing about
it, said it reminded her of the "drop-a-nickle-in-tho-slot"
machines.
"Still," she observed, 'if Charlie
wants to risk losing his coin I have no
objection to letting it take a trip over
me." - Ex.
There is a little stir in county poll
tics, the approach of the Republican j
primaries nwaKcning interest in anusc
quent proceedings. Already are an
nounced "slates," some of them, prob
ably, to be badly cracked if not broken
before June.
The principal interest centers round
the county clerk's office, for, though it
is to be divided after June 30 and con
siderable of the fees diverted to the
newly-created office of recorder; yet it
will remain the best-paying office in
the county and one of the best in the
state.
The office of sheriff is a poor one,
financially; no one ever got rich as
sheriff of Clatsop county, and from
present appearances no one will right
away.
There is but one county commis
sioner to be elected. "When J. G.
Numburg, and F. W. Smith, were
elected in June '88, they drew straws
for the long and short term. As the
result, the former holds over, and a
successor to Mr. Smith is to be elected.
The successful nominee will hold
office for four years, the same as
the county judge and in '92 another
commissioner will be elected, to servo
four years, and so on.
The office of county judge is second
to none in importance in the county,
as upon the administration of that
office depends largely the financial as
pect of county affairs.
