A M Schulmer Congrí Pr Kertianl Hal For I H H Basant. . The compariaon of ¡sheriff With” e^s’ twenty-two months service in the sheriff’s office with the two preceding years of ex-Sheriff John son’s term brings some pertinent facts to public notice. Sheriff Wither« has done the criminal work of the county that his predecessor let fail to the con stables because there was no money in it for the sheriff. He was on salary, and got just as much from the county whether or not h served criminal warrants. With ers has arrested forty men dur ing hie twenty-two month’« holding of the office. During the * preceding two years Mr. Johnson turned that clasa of work over to the constables, who charged up fees against the county. During the last two years of hi? term the arrests by the sheriff’s office did not exceed a half dozen. WitlDrs has attended to that class of work so faithfully and promptly that the Eugene constablo resigned the other day. It did not pay him to bother with it. During the four years Mr. John son held the office twelve men were sent to the ¡lenitentiary from Lane county. During the past twenty- two months Sheriff Withers hung one man and to >k sixteen to the penitentiary. Ex-sheriffs will in form you that the service of crim- inal process is very expensive. In pursuit of criminals the officer can not stand on expense. He must take any means of travel, or assist ance, however expensive. Then he is often comjtelled to employ aid when away from his regular depu ties, and this must be paid for. Ex-Sheriff Johnson went out of office leaving a considerable »mount of delinquent taxes uncollected. Sheriff Withers had the expenses involved in making levies and rale where his predecessor took office with a cleaned up roll. No trip han been too bard, no service to arduous to deter Sheriff Withers in the performance of his duty, He has done much of the work that former sheriffs found it convenient to place on deputy ■boulders.

Of all political forgeries that quoted by the Oregonian, Friday, as emanating from Congrrssman Sulzer, of New York, is about the weakest that has been made to do duty in hope of deceiving the in nocent, hut not unsuspecting public. The New York democratic congress ionai leader is reported as lament ing over his lost chances for a vice-presidtCilial nomination, pre dicting democratic defeat, and otherwise 'jj-ying like a child over some disappointment. Even i the Oregonian lacked its usual i assu- rance in handling the forged stuff and prefaced the quotation with “He is quoted as saying.” Congressman Sulzer is the peer of aoy man in the lower house of congress as to brains and ability. He is a trusted party leader, and had not Towne been nominated by the Populist national convention for vice-president, probably would have been Bryan’s running mate. The idea of bis making an assertion that “Bryan is beat already” stamps ’’he interview as a rank forgery. The only wonder should be that the Oregonian endeavors to* pass the base sluff on (the public. It bears tbo stamp of lie on its face. THE TAXPAYERS' BUSINESS. ______ o The taxes p«jd by II. R. Kin caid, Citizen's nominee for county judge, and J. R. llill, nominee for commissioner, are guarantees of economical administration. On the other hand tne Republicans have presented a man for the con sideration of the taxpayers for commissioner who only pays 36 cents tax, and that a special tax of one cent a head on 36 sheep. The county judge and commissioner to lie elected the first Monday in June a .11 control the financial pari of Lane county affairs for thi next four years. Voters should exercise the same discretion in making a choice of the county court as they would in their personal affairs. The taxes to be paid by the citi zens of Lane county for the four yean to come will depend not a little upon the discretion and good judgment of the county court officials who will be elected on the 4th day of June. In 1899 congress passed a bill to set aside certain lands in the State of Washington as a public park known as the Mt. Ranier National Park and provided that the North ern Pacific railroad company might relinquish the land granted to it within the public park to the gov ernment, and select in place of same, any non-mineral public lands in any state into whiclssaid railroad ran. ¿n accordance therewith, the Northern Pacific R.

The Engineer'« Story. "To run over a man—perhaps that's the only thing of all that shakes me. To see him on the track within 10 or 20 feet of you, to know that you can't stop to save him, to feel the wheels of the engine go over bls body, crunching out his life—a man doesn't want to experi ence that more than once in a lifetime. "It's worse with a child. There was an old mate of mine In the west when I was riding In the Union Pacific—nev er mind his name; he's dead now—as good an engineer as ever stood In n box, cool, nerve like steel, had been through three wrecks, a holdup and a fire. Well, one day Jim was a little be hind his schedule and made like any thing for the next stop. Thei'e was a crossing right In front of him. He saw that everything was clear, as he thought, and went right ahead, when all at once out of a clump of trees there ran a little golden haired fairy right In front of the engine. It was all over In one Instant, and when the train stop ped Jim dropped like a log. It was two months before he crept back again to work. But he could never come to that crossing but he saw the little girl with her hair fluttering In the wind running out from the trees.

Different countries produce different foods. Perhaps that Is the reason why a description of a railway restaurant In England sounds so curlouB to Amer ican ears. Tills terminus restaurant corresponds to the American lunch couuter, where pie and coffee are fje staple refreshments of the hurried hun gry man. Patrons crowd the English place three deep and wait for the front row to finish eating and depart One elder ly woman drinks hot spirit and water and eats sandwiches. Beside her a country couple devour buns and milk- how British “buns” sounds!—and a busy man eats sponge cake and drinks port wine. Can one Imagine a Chicago broker rushing Into a quick luueb counter with a demand for sponge cake? He might as well ask for a coach and four. In this London restaurant a mother of a family regales herself and her meek husband with ginger beer and cakes, and a nervous young clergy man asks for a glass of milk Buns, sponge cake, milk and beer—the menu Is a little different from those on this side of the water.—Chicago News. i 4 Psnftlll Brine Poiits. “Tht wun««»’ Tk4 K»«».1’ kkv* IU..
