It is gratifying to find that a
large number of men in every pre
cinct in Polk county who were
identified with the majority in the
recent Republican county conven
tion do notendorse the higb-handed,
rule-of-ruin policy pursued by the
majority leaders. As the excite
ment of the contest dies away and
an opportunity is given for mature
reflection, the shameful treatment
of the minority grows more and
more apparent, and many of the
delegates do not hesitate to express
their regrets fur not aiding the
minority in securing respectful
hearing and decent treatment at
least. The fact is now appreciated
that the forty or more delegates
comprising the minority in the
convention were men who had
made a fair and Lonorab.e fight
for what they believed was Inst for
the party and should have been
treated as brother Republicans
who were asking only for that to
which they considered themselves
entitled, instead of being subjected
to insult and humiliation and
denied any recognition whatever in
the make-up of committees or in
naming the ticket to be voted for
in June. The dirty . work of the
convention is just now beginning
to stand forth in all Us Us.'!y naked
ness, and, judging from the resuhs
that have been achieved to date,
the work of the new leadership is
nut destined to prove sucit-ssful to
any astonishing degree. The Re
publican party believtsin majority
rule, bu.t not in the kind of major
ity rule that permits the minority
to be bullied and brow-beaten and
treated as a band of criminals. Men
who honor and revere the names of
Abraham Lincoln and James Ci.
Blaine and Wiiliam McKinley are
men who love justice and fair
play, and some of these newly-
hatched leaders w ill soon find it out.
"Whereas, we have watched the
course of Hon. John II. Mitchell
and Hon C. W. Fulton in their
efforts to develop the material
interest of the State of Oregon, and

TWO NEW SEWERS
Contracts for Construction Will Be
Awarded Monday, May 9.
The construction of sewers on Mill
and Court streets w ill begin as so-"-n
as contracts for the work are awarded.
The city council met Monday night
and decided by a unanimous vote to
proceed with the improvement at once,
aud it is the intention of the board to
have the work completed by August
1. The cctioe to contractors apf-:ars
iels-where in this paper.
The c-.uncil rx-m was well Hue.
i Monday evening w ith property owners
;ho are interested in the propz-setl
s-wc-rs, tut no objr-cti- n was made to
the improvement, the price: pal obj-ot
! of the visitors being to gain informa
jtionastothe character and expense
j of the work proposed to be tlone. The
! plans and estimates of cost were ex-;
hitited, and members of the board,
took pains to supply all the icforma-
tion desired.
While plans for a sewerage system ;
for the entire city have Deen prepared, :
no attempt will t-e made this year to
sewer any but the business and resi
. dence district between Cotsrt and Mill
', streets. The courscil has no desire to
extend the sewers to the residence por
tion of the town until the improve--j
ment is Hske-I for by a riajority of
! prc'jf-rty owners on any street. The
! objevt of the present board is to get the
; improvement started, and it i-believed
that when it is once ucd-r way the
'people will realize the benefits of
sewerage arid never rest cvi.tetit until
jthesvsU m is exteLded to all parts of
town.

Our Spring stock is beginning to arrive, and we
