. An Important Thing. From the Lion County School Journal, Wbea the county court decided to re model the court house the; wisely tm. ployed competent architect (one of the very beet In tbe state) to mate out tbe plane and epecificatione, and then em ployed him to auperviae the work. Tbey paid bim live per cent ol the contract Price for his services, and no one can ustly criticice the court for this. Tbey acted upon eound buBineea principlea. Why didn't tbey employ a farmer, or blacksmith, o- a doctor? It would have coet them less, no doubt. Tbe reason is apparent. Ilia nature of tbe service re quired a person skilled in this particular line of work a person who makes tbis his study and gives it bis best thought. The farmer, the blacksmith aod the doc tor may have as much Intelligence on .general matters, and far more in their special lines of work, but they are not fitted by education and occupation for the kind of eeivise required. Some people recognize the importance spe cial qualifications .'or special ser vices, id every line 01 work but tbat o education. They seem to act in a man ner to indicate their belief that anybody can teach ecliool, or perform tbe duties of county superintendent. For instance many people have tbe idea that the work of tbe superintendent ie very light and unimportant. Tbey fail to realize tbat tbe county superintendent hue the supervision of tbe expenditure of more money toon all other county officials put together. Last year tbe amount passing under the superintendent of this county was about f 00,850. To properly super vise tbe expenditure ol this large amount of money eBcb year is no email matter. It requires constant rare and attention. It Is astonishing how many ways of squandering IL is money are invented by tbe inventive brains of interested part ies. Many times 1Mb net guarded' with that cete and economy that it should be. --If any one double this statement bis doubts will Soon vanish if he will call and examine the records. But to super vise tbe expenditure of the school funds is but one of the many duties de volving upon tbe superintendent. He bae othor duties requiring epeciai pre paration and experience, wi'bout which his work must Inevitably be a failiuH. Would the supervision ol the expendi ture of G0,850 per year in business af fairs, demand work and care? Does ihe building of court houses or tbe repairing of bridge, Important as they are, de. serve detter ability or demand more at tention than the bnllding of character in our boys and girls, tbe developing of their intellects and their training for citizenship? Should rot the tax-payers money, used for educational purposes, be just as eoonomica'ly expended and as closely guarded as that used tor any other purpose? 'When we come to fully understand the importance of the work of education, and recognize the necessity of "Special qualifications and experience ior 'apecial service," our schools will bold a higher place In the affairs of our county.

The rest of us are in favor of a canal across Nicaragua An exebange very aptly says that whether tbe constitution follows tbe flag or not it is a fact tbat Ihe saloon does and mighty fest tuo, clear ahead of tbe missionaries and everybody else. the President is waking opto the fact that it will be a very timely tiling to lav- or tbe Nicaragua canal bill and bence announces himself in its favor. Any thing that is favored just for political ef fect is always.viewed with suspicion. The fact that tbe tariff on Porto Rico has been reduced 85 per cent doesn't have any hearing on the rights of the case eo lung as a tariff ol fifteen per cent remains. If a single 1 per cent remained tbe injustice would be the same. The principle of tbe thing offers the outrage. Tbe government ie laxiog tbe people 8O,00O,0P0a year more than is needed Tbe war trx should be discontinued just as soon as possible. A war tax la an un welcome thing any way, but a necessity i n case of war . It should always be re moved just as fast as tbe legs ol tbe gov vernment can travel its way. Ifad Congressman Tongue been an in' habitant oI.Eogland several yeariJsetPfe be was.born there be wra"undoubledly have been standing.'.! with the king in his efforts to (ix'the Americans without representation.

' '' Tbe many men whom Tongue bae promised office want to Bee him retained, in the topes that Ihe.'.ofBoea will be furthcoming, .It wae the eame way when Binger Hermann.was is. At last they learned tbat he couldn't deliver the good" and they dropped him regardless of the fact tbat he was really in a position to have some influence, whiohjis not the case with Tongue. Aa nearly as the Democrat can learn from fair sources Congressman Tongue of this district has practically no standing at Washington, and never would have il kept there for a century. The very first thing he antagonised a eection ol the country by hie ill timed remarks Wben the Yaquina bill came before the com mittee on which tbnre were members from f bat section, they remarked that they would drop tbat aeked t.r by Mr. Tongue, and it was dropped.

For about two years it has been necessary ncder tbe plan beaon of starting with the lead ing event of the world tor the week that has paeBed. Every tine it bas been war, and it looks as if it will be war for .a long time to come unless an enormous earth quake destroys a multitnde ol people. Tbe Englieh-Eoer war baa been one of preparation. Our war bao been tbe same old bushwhacking affair of snch a character that it bas even been suggest ed that more eoldiere will be needed, ..... IdScongress there has arisen a new prospect for tbe building of the Nicara gua canal, a project In which tbe people of the Pacific coast.are more interes'ed than anything else before oongress. It loots as if in view of the approaching election something will be done regard less of the secret conniving of tbe rail' roads with their enormous wealth t) prevent it. It ie a consummation de voutly wlenea by everybody here in view of tbe immense advantage it will prov to tbe Interests of tbe coast, ae well ss its importance as a national institution A matter of considerable concern to many here bae been the shelving at least temporarily, of Ihe Indian war pen eion hill through tbe arbitrary aotion of tbe speaker. The Indian war veterans are now all aVi men, mostly in etrait- ens&oTcumstauces, and are emphatical ly entitled to consideration for the brae service tbey did for tbis Tacitio coast country, without which its upbuilding would bave been impossible. A just re cognition hae been delayed long enough A timber laod case bas been'of consid erable local Interest. It has brought out in a very decided manner the great strife taking place after the fine timber belt of this part of the coast. Tbe time ie gradually approaching when timber land will be of great value, in view ol the manner in which the timber of tbe country is being exhausted. It loots as II the entire country would have to de pend on tbe Pacific coaBt for its timber . We have it here In sufficient quantities to meet the demands for yeare, a fact appreciated by the railroads and hlg syn dicates who are gobbling it up. In per mitting this tbe government Ie not treat ing the inhabitants of Ibis country with justice. V Tbie week has ssen the great game of base ball launched upon the oountry. It leads all Bports in the merit of its oharacter, and is bound to continue Jo be the great national game. No game approaches it for continued and unceas ing interest !u its progress when played well though fool ball draws bigger orowds on account of its eavage character. But base ball is a clean game. In an Oregon town during the week a school teacher wae deposed on account of the habit of kissing the big girls. A public thrashing would alBO have been deserved. Likewise a kicking by tbe girls' b'g brother. Tbe traclier to do good work mnst be a model in personal Conduct. Cum Ilia WoMlnnv.ltA T P . A rich lesson was iziven here in J. B. ! Eddy's speech nominating Tongue at the republican convention. With sweet and fulsome worde be lauded the virtues of his man and hie parly and bel. tiled tbe rest of creation. Tongue is English born, ao ia Eddy. Tbis la delicious fact with those of imperialistic tendenciea. Tbat these men are foreigners who have forBaken tbeirScountry for America is commendable, but we object to their of- (orts to imperiilite the country. Mr. Eddy stated that the opposition was on a low plane, below the line of civilization and tbat republicanism was above the line. If Mr. Eddy means morally we are ready to take the statistics, and will begin with the morale of the speaker himself or hie candidate, If be rreans politically ire challenge him to point out two democrate in the Btate of Oregon who are greater grafters than himself and the chairman of hie'conventlon, who for yeate held on to tbe railroad comtnis' slon until It became so odious that the law was repealed to get rid of them and their ilk. There ia morality and politi cal decency in tne republican ranks but tbey are scarce articles among its politi cal bosses and managere.

All day tele grams wera coming from the leaders of t-.e different factions requesting Dr. Daly to accept tbe nomination. Be had declined to enter tbe fieH tbis yar for any office, but the pressure was to great that he fi tally telegraphed his friends that be would accept t' e nomination, from the First Congressional District, if it should be given unanimously. The next telegram congratulated bim upon bis unanimous nomination and a as sign ed by the leaders of of tlu three fuBioo parties. Hi said to 4 report er today . "Yea, I am going to be elected to Con gress from this district 1 have not the slightest doubt of it in the world."

"There is a cross decay in the interest of our substantial men as well as of tbe masses, in tbe Republican party since McKinleyism ruled. The Bum ol S100, 000 confidently promised to the nationa committee at Washington baa only been pirlially raised, and that by a Bpecies of extortion. It Is now thought that tbe hat will have to be passed through the city depaitmente, custom bouse, etc., to raise tbe rest ol tbe money. None of the big givers of former years mean to give any thing.
