On Wednesday of this week the Multnomah county grand jury returned an indict roent acninst General George II Williams, mavor of Portland, for malfeasance in office, along with indictments against other city officials and a long list of common criminals. The spec tacle is shockinsr. pitiable. It set9 the people of Oregon think in sr. Besides a big man intel lectually, he has been generally considered the embodiment of honestv. General Williams head is white w ith the frosts of eighty-three winters. For the past forty years Oregon has been proud to point to him as her leading citizen. General Williams has served Oregon in the United States senate. lie was also Chief justice of the Supreme Court of Oregon Terri tory. He was Attorney-General of the United States in .Presi ' dent Grant's cabinet. He was nominated by President Grant for a place on the bench of the United States Supreme Court, but the Senate failed to confirm the nomination. His is the mind that as Attorney-General, framed the re-construction act by which the southern states were retained in the Union, fol lowing the civil war one of the nation has had to deal with. General Williams has been one of the big lawyers of the nation. More, he was a statesman. As a lawyer, he never descended to pettifoggery, nor was it even suspected of him. He has been considerate to young lawyers and young men generally who have been and are today his steadfast friends. In his deal ings with mankind he is gener ous and humane. Years ago he helped a Marion county citi zen by loaning him money on a farm. .The borrower grew care less and spent bis money in saloons and with bad compan ions. The debt grew and the General remonstrated but to no avail. The farmer became in different to his obligations and the needs of bis family. Inter est was accumulating with no effort on the part of the farmer to meet it. He was offered ai the interest if he would try and repay the principal, but no offer woald appeal. Finally, to save a part of the loan, the Genera had to take the land. But the farmer had a family. After taking the land he did not want, a place costing $1400 was pur chased in Salem two years ago and given the farmer with the admonition he go on it and take care of his family. As to the merits of the indictment against General Williams, the court is the only tribunal to pass up on them. Neither papers nor in dividuals are justified in antici pating the verdict of a court. The world can be assured how ever that if there is any lesson for the public good to be drawn from General Williams indict ment, he will willingly submit to it, let the consequences be what they may. The dosine worrit of Mayor William.' annual message were "1 have twraonal knowledge the government of the city lor more than 40 years, and during that time Portland has not been as free from municipal corru tin as it has been during the vreaent administration." On the tame day the uiessage was delivered the Mayor, his Chief of Police, Ex-City Engi neer, City Surveyor and a nura ber of City Contractors were in dieted by the grand jury. The world will take notice that Port Arthur is uow a Jap anese port. The new mayors message hits the right ring to it. Hurry back Mr. Heney Getting hungry for sensations Help the grange. They are progressive people. Work on the big mill will be- irm next week, beveral new cr buildings to go up in Independ- nee right away. This is lWi. Iff Were Mrs. Chad wick.

Suddenly the man fell, He was a dignified person, but as be reach ed a sleety corner-his feet, set down with precision, failed to stay set They flew so high, and the result was so abrupt, that as the man bit the walk in a sitting posture ob servers expected to fee a spine pro trude from to the top of his bat. Two youths had seen the episode. One was a bad youth, and unwise He laughed. The other was a good youth, who knew a thing or two. He hastened to pick up the fallen man "Thank you," said the man; "I am a childless millionaire, looking foi an heir. You're it. Meantime take this roll and blow yourself. Only one condition is attached. Don't spend a cent on that laugh ing jackass who is with you." - Handing over a f 10,000 bundle, and giving his hotel address, the man went his way. .The moral of this is so obvious that the reader unable to discern it isn't worth bothering about. It seems an odd fact, but never the less it is a fact, that the potato crop ef the United States does not fill the home demand. The average crop is about 575,000.000 bushel per year, yet in the last decade it has been necessary to import an average of : 1,500,000 . .hushels of potatoes a year in the United States. , Are not some of our Am erican farmers, neglecting the potato crop to their own detriment When billons take Chamberlain Stomach and Liver Tablets.

THE DEVOTION OF tar rowiN Arnold OUR tiroos have I watching from near at hand the dart, senou., n changing, introspective countenance of the mikado of Japan, upon whom ia focused the absolute devo tion of tKe Japanese people in a manner not only mm i- unparalleled tdsewherw, but hardly traditional sentiment of the wonderful nation wuwn is wo of all her for and which WILL BRING HER LN 1IO.N0K AND TRIUMPH OUT OF ALL DANGERS. I ahall not attempt to dwell upon what I have seen aod heard per sonally of hie imperial uiajeaty. Other pen may dare to nmlu hun into paragraph-. Wherever I law that ailent potentate I was art thinking of th anoient legeads and of the sun goddoas and of Avalo kitowra. Now that I can only recollect, it U still with something like awe as well as with profound respect and sympathy thai I recall the steadfast brows and the stern, sad lips of his imperial majesty Mutsuhito, wh-e order of the Rwing Sun I have the honor to bar and of whom I am the humble sen-ant and well wisher, believing, a I do, that in his auguat handa Providence has placed the duty and the glory of linking forever together the east and the weet IN A UNION WHICH ONCE APPEARED IMPOSSIBLE.
