L Vc are not inclined to be very en thusiastic over the plank in tbe Rcfnrb lican platform ir which the last Lcgis aturc is praised for adopting the resolu tion for submitting fo the people th?

But there is no use of bring ing to the front this disturbing ques tion.' It is calculated to create distrust and injure tbe reputation ami credit of pregbrt in the eyes of Eastern people. The system as proposed would prove ex pensive and burdensome, if put into practice ami it would brand Oregon as a sort of crank reservation without bringing any benefits or reliefs -.'worth fpeaking of. Indeed., there would be great danger that it would bring in its train many evils.

Doubt Expressed as to the Usefulness . - of Their -Tcstiinony. - The widespread use of typewTtting machines has resulted in furnishing employment for a long list of persons who do ot operate the nadiines per sonally. Tliere are the manufacturers oS typewriter- - paper,' the makers of ribbon, brashes ; and erasers; the mak ers of patent key tips and finger pro tectors and of a dozen different sorts of copyholders, and the great number of men and women required irt tlie sale of these and scores of other arti cles familiar to typewriter operators. The; repairer, of "typewriter doctor," as he is called, is an extremely busy and useful person, and it would bt veryx difficult to ; get along -without him; yet it is doubtful if even the most skilful repairer can hope to gam the distinction that i credited to an otihef , figure, whose profession is of comparatively recent birth, known technically; as-the "typewriter expert' Only last, week the services of three t-pewriter experts -were employed at the trial, in the general sessions, of James' B. KeKogg for grand larceny and conspiracy in connection with the- E. S. Dean Company. It was sought to determine by the character" of the type writing of a document whether a spe cific paragraph of it had been written when the document itself was made, or had been inserted 'some time after ward. " Tlie experts told in detail ol the peculiarities of typewriter ojera tors. itr manipulatin'g their machines and of the effect that exposure to the atmosphere was likely to have upen typewriting after a certain time. The addition of this new sort of ex pert to the great number of tbose who are supplied to elucidate some of the vexed problems of juries was first made about four years ago at a hear ing m New Jersey. Ihere was then introduced-a receipt for money allege to have been paid on account of mortgage. The body ol the receipt was typewritten, and the plaintiff con tended that the signature to it was forgery. An expert typewriter was. called and testified that the documen was, not written on any of the ma chines in the complainant s office. While it is generally admitted that in some cases of a simple nature the opinion of a typewriter expert may be of advantage in settling a question of doubt, there is an impression among many members of the "typewriting fraternity that the ability of such ex perts is grossly over-estimated. Inas much, they argue, as typewriting con sists merely in depressing keys which on a given machine strike type ot tint form shaoe and size, there can. as a rule, be found no trustworthy charac teristics of the writer. , "For anv one."- avers a veteran oper ator in this city, "however familiarri$ may be with typewriters and type writing, to pick out the identical 111a chine on which a certain document was written is absolutely impossible. On might as well expect an all-round sewing machine man to tell which of a hundred machines of the same make did a given piece of sewing. The wiork of a cheap toy typewriter is. of course, easily distinguishable from that of a bigh-class one. and the work of any one of the three or four models of ; typewriters in most common use also has its characteristics. By a sim p!e adjustment of the tension of . a tvpewritef is possible to so disguise the work of a machine that even the most scrutinizing observer would bt unable to identify it. 'Much is due. to the. typewriter's adjustment and to the operator s 'fingering of the keyboard "No two persons typewrite exactly alike, yet it is a' fact that the work of one operator; executed on a given machine at different times and under changed circumstances, often varies in appearance. Machines that will write in perfect alignment when only one or two sbeets of, paper are insertedsat a time may be thrown badly cut of line by the insertion , of several sheets, which will abnormally increase the size of the roller. A rapid writer may strike his keys so as to jumble the type and comoletelv diseuisc his work And a chance of ribbons often, effects a result which would sometimes deceived the cleverest expert. "Among the small number of so called standard typewriting machines no two have precisely the same size and form of ype. and a simple com parison will enable any layman to dis cover the dissimilarity of typewriting in this particular. And. in a word, this is all that can be determined by any expert, in. some ornces mere are ten or twenty typewriters of-the same make, all ' of ' -which use exactly the same sort of riblwrns. aod for any one to assume tq lw able t tell by the finisJicd cfjpy 1 which of tlie machines did a certarn piece ol work wmikl be ridiculous."
