Art II of sec. 10 provides that the debts of any county at the time this constitution takes effect, shall be disregarded in estimating the sum to which such county is limited, but the provision is specific and clear in the limitation prescribed with the single qualification quoted. There is not a county in the state which is not inter ested in the final decision on this matter, as they have exceeded the constitutional limit. Judge Eaken in the Baker county case decided that all the honestly con tracted indebtedness must be paid. He does not believe that a county can repu diate its debts even in the lace of this constitutional provision. No doubt but what this is equity and an honest view of ths case. But on the other hand, there can be no question wbat the framers of the constitution meant when thav in serted this section. It was that no county could incur a legal indebtedness in excess of $5,000. We are of the opin ion that the officials who incurred this indebtedness violated a plain provision of the constitution, but to repudiate the debts would be an injustice to an inno cent holder of the warrants. Just what the supreme court will do when it meets the question squarely is uncertain. It would not surprise us to see the court construe the constitution the way she is writ. This would raise considerable h—1 in Oregon. Huntington’« Engliah Held.

Mayor Swift roundly scored Chicago’s “prominent citizens” at a banquet the other night, and charged the corruption of the city council and various depart ments of the city’s service to them. 1 lie speech was delived at the Commer cial club in response to President Baker of the Civic Federation, who criticised the city administration and mentioned the foeling existing over the council giving franchises to cable and electric roads and other corporations without compensation. Many millionaires were present and the mayor talked plainly to them. He said: “Who is it that comes into tlie common council and asks for such privileges? Who are accused of giving bribes for such franchises? It is just the same ones, the same prominent citizens that come into the same council chamber and ask them to give them the right to occupy space under your streets. I tell you these questions come home. Talk about anarchy; talk about breed ing spirit of communism. What does it more than the representative citisens •f Chicago? Your high-toned business men? Your patriotic men? Your prom inent citizens of Chicago are the men who knock at the door of the council and ask for illegal franchises. It is not the cemmon people. Who bribe the common council? It is not men in the common walks of life. They are men in your own walk of life, sitting by your firesides, at your clubs. ” Mayor Swift advised tne Civic Federation to turn its attention to the election of sev eral representative business men to the city council. On Sept. 20, 1893, Dr. Eugene F. West was arrested at San Francisco, charged with the murder of Addie Gil mour, a Colusa milliner who had left her home in the previous month to go to San Francisco for tlie purpose of ouyiirg goods and learning the latest fashions. On Sept. 14 the disfigured skull of a youug woman was found off Lime Point. This discovery was fol lowed by tlie finding of other portions of the body carefully cut and packed in cans on the Alameda county shore. Dr. West’s first trial was a long and sensa tional one, ending in hie conviction and sentence to 25 years’ imprisonment. An appeal was taken to the supreme court and an order was obtained granting a new trial, which resulted in West’s ac quittai At the time of his arrest West was engaged to marry Miss Anna Staley, who was known to be cognizant of Miss Gilmour’s death. Five days after West was placed in jail Anna and the doctor were married by contract, and in all his court experiences since she has been by his side. West told a sensational story on the witness stand. He asserted that Dr. W. A. Harvey performed a criminal operation on Addie Gilmour and he took the case subsequently. The girl died and Dr. Tuchler took the body and dissected it, putting the remains in the bay. _______________ Geo, W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa Maria "Times,” Cal., in speaking of the various ailments of children said: "When my children have croup there is only one patent medicine that I ever use, and that is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It posses ses some medical properties that relieve the little sufferers immediately. It is, in my opinion,, the best cough medicine in the market.” If thia remedy is freely given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. It is also an ideal rem edy for whooping cough. There is no danger in giving it to children, as it con tains nothing injurious. For sale by E. A. S herwin . _________________ Johnson'a Mining Bill.

Steamer Struthneyis Found, The steamer Stratlinevis was recently towed into the harbor of Port Town send after a most remarkable escape from destruction. For nine weeks the disabled vessel was driven back and forth by the gales on the Straits of Fuca. When hope was gone and the crew had prepared to leave the ship and take to the boats, the anchors were dropped and the steamer’s drifting was checked within sight and sound of the breakers on Destruction island. There the vessel was picked up by the Mine ola and towed to harbor. Fears are en tertained for the safety of the Austrar lian steamship Miowera, which towed the Strathnevis for five days. Ten miles off Cape Flattery during a violent gale the two steel hawsers broke suddenly and the Miowera disappeared in the storm. The Miowera had exhausted mqst of her fuel.__________ Representative Grove L.

I Congress Raises Dutie« 16 Per Cent to RClieVo the Treasury. : The house has responded to the ap- i peal of tho president by passing a tariff bill, the operation of which is limited to two and one-half years and which is designed to raise $4.»,000,000 for the re lief of the treasury. The vote was on party lines, with two exceptions. The Republicans voted for the bill, except Hartman of Mon tana, who did not vote, and the Demo crats and Populists voted against it, ex cepting Newland« (Populist) of Nevada, who voted in favor of the measure. The special order under which the bill was brought to a vote, after three and one-half hours of debate, was ironclad in its character and compelled the mem bers to adopt or reject it without an op portunity of offering amendments of any kind. Although there was the brilliant speechmaking that usually ac companies a field day in the house, the debate lacked much of the spirit and vim which generally characterizes a partisan bill. Even the preliminary skirmish over the adoption of the rule, which ordinarily precipitates the fierc est wrangling, passed off quietly. The debate was participated in by the leaders on both sides. The Republicans contended that the first necessity for the treasury was revenue to supply the continued deficiency. Every speaker denied that the proposed measure was a Republican protection bilL It was, they claimed, an emergency revenue bill on protection lines. It was signifi cant that several members—Dalzell, Payne, Hopkins and Grosvenor—pre dicted the passage of a genuine pro tective measure as soon as the Repub licans gained control of the White House. The Democrats took the posi tion that there was no lack of revenue in the treasury, and that the passing of a bill to increase taxation would in no way help the situation nor furnish the relief desired by the president and the secretary of the treasury. The bill passed repeals the present tariff law until Aug. 1, 1898. It re stores 60 per cent of the McKinley bill rates on wool and woolens, lumber and carpets, and makes a horizontal in crease of the present rates in all other schedules, except sugar, of 15 per cent. When the bill was put to a vote it was passed by 205 to 81. the result being taken by ayes and noes. There was no demonstration at the announcement of the vote.
