TttB DUTY OF THE COUNTY COURTS
IN Till! flRIOGK MATTKK.
Facta enough are known to com
pel action by the counties of Marlon
and Polk. While the city of Salem
Is vitally interested and has Its one
third of the cost of the bridge and
an immense business interest at
staker the responsibility for the
proper construction of the new steel
bridge rests upon the county author
ities. Tbey accepted that trust.
The duty is theirs legally, because
the county authorities have jurisdic
tion over county bridges. That
much is certain. While Salem will
lose more than either county, by
the failure to get a bridge this year
that will stand, Salem is powerless
to direct the construction of that
bridge. But Salem people and the
Salem press will do their duty lu
arousing a watchful public senti
ment, and keeping alive a Jealous
public Interest. Salem may also
hold to a strict accountability those
officials who ore sworn to see to a
proper expenditure of public money.
Fucts sufficient to warrant some
decisive action by the county courts
hive been made public. The people
expect borne prompt and forceful
measures to protect them from
further frauds and extravagance.
They expect to be released from su
pervision that does net supervise.
They expect to pay no more money
to ignorance, that produces only
piers that fall down, and bridges
(hut, the next freshet sweeps away.
Tbey expect that discredited em
ployes shall not be retained.
The county court will not satisfy
the people with any dallying meas
ures. The responsibility for the
present rotten status of the bridge
must be fixed, or the people will fix
It upon the courts. What Is the use
of courts and prosecuting' attorneys
if such frauds are not investigated
and the swludle stopped? One-third
of the bridge Is built. It, is a flat'
failure. Shall the whole expendi
ture of $75,000 proceed thus? It is

adopted for the future.
A gold organ says of Mr. Conger,
the new minister to Brazil. "Dur
ing the present congress he has been
chairman of the committee bu coin
age, weights, and measures, utid
necessarily took a prominent part In
the oilver legislation recently en
acted. It was mainly through his
tact and perseverance that tlio free
coinage men were prevented from
sendiug a radical sllvnr-staudurd
measure to the president for ap
proval or rejection." This is the re
tired politician Who was given tills
$12,000 plum at the expense of thu
American people, and to reward him
for his faithful devotion to the In
terests of Wall btreot. He rendered
services to special Interests. For
that he is quartered upon the masses.
TUB BEASTLY NUDE IN ART.
A representative of the Jouunaj.
has inspected them and that is about
what the objectionable paintings lu
the Portland Exposition art gallery
amount to. The committee in
cbargoof the art select ions for the
exposition have been imposed upon.
Their taste and judgment as to what
is artistic, and as to what is proper
to haye place In a public art gallery
is indicted and condemned by tliv
presence of those paintings. The
pictures should be removed. Then
the committee should be con
demned.
The "nude in art" is not the dis
play of loud, vulgar pictures of nak
ed human figure to tho public gaze.
That is the salacious, the lie, the
vulgar in not-ait- By the mule In
art is understood the right of pro
fessional artists to study the naked
human figure so as to bo able to
master the anatomy and contour of
the human form divine and be uble
to trace its outllues accurately mid
display its beauty and majesty in
rhythmic pose and graceful posture.
The pictures supended in the
Portland exposition are such as
could be found described in travel
er's tales, as hung in the private
ralleries of dissolute noblemen, in
the carousing places of the demi
monde of Paris, or the harems ol
sensuous Turks. They ate not mns
ter-pleces. Tbey are unwortlij
public attention. Tbey would not
be tolerated in any publio place in
our best large cities.

The facta show that the contract
ors have neither heart nor son), to
say nothing of pride in doing a
good job. Tbey have show u a dis
position to get along with as little
expenditure of prudeuct and careful
attention to what the cuutruct rof
quires aa possible. Tbey do not
care if the bridge falls down tomor
row, so tbey gel their pay to-day.
They are contractors looking out for
tbelr own pocket. Tbey get as
many of" the' public '-servants on
tbelr side as they can. An indiffer
ent public servant is alreudy on
tbeir side. .
One of the contractors was beard
to remark that he would notaay
that he would not pick up the coun
ties' engineer and gethlni Into their
camp, (the contractor's) If he could.
There is a pretty well-foupded I mi
pressloo that this was not necessary
lu this case. The impression is that
it was not very bard to get Mr.
Urondabl into tbeir camp. It does
not appear that be was ever 'o uy
other camp. There Is not much
doubt that ho was taking the peo
ple's money and not laboring very
hard to proteot the people's interest.
His supervision coi-t the people $10,
000 extra on one pier. How much
extra would It cost on the whole
bridge? Why have our county
courts kept such a man ? Is there
no malfeasance Involved lu publio
officers Imploylug a man to look
after the people's interest when it s
apparent to all that he Is playing in
to the contrautor's hands, to put it
mildly. The questiou Is little short
of solved, whether Mr. Grondahl
was not an employe of the contrac
tors, Tub Journal baa maintained
from tbe start that a competent
steel bridge engineer must be em
ployed by tbe county authorities
see that tbe specifications of
plan are complied with by tbe con
tractors, and to secure tbo people
against collusion and frauds in con
struction. As well expoct a carpen
ter to conduct a criminal prosecution
in thu courts as expect culvert en
gineer, a wood-bridge engineer, or
even a general railway engineer I to
supervise a atae bridge t structure.
Such supervUloHiBiusllproye'a lux
ury. Any supervision, ex ,"ept, (be
beat and most coaipcUnt is danger
ous as well enpsusiye, very
kind of plcked-upauglufsr oaufiot
superintend iayluj tbe fouodaUons
of a steel bridge across a, great and
powerful stream. Yet, that U ubou
tbe theory upon willed this Salem
bridge building has proceeded.
Tbe people expect heroic action,
and ooursgeous0, dpt.UOajo with the
facts by 'their repraUmUUves, the
ooustyeourlsii TluMllOiOeO .extia
on one pier would1 have1 paid two
first-etas engineers for a'wtiole year,
aua wouia at least excuse the au
thorities from the1 hwge of1 ru-gli-yeaos
and xtravaganee tbatHkey
to draw crowds, nine out of tei
of which secretly feel ashamed to
have ever looked upon these pic
turcs. The great works of art that
have charmed tho modern world
have been the chief worKS of Mesl
onier, of Millet, of Bierstadt, ol
Turner, and many others. None
of those works rely upon
sensations to which the ordi
nary human eye is uuaccus
tomed for their effect. They dls
play tbe true aod tbe beautiful iu
everyday life, the cbnst aud the
upright. Tbe pure and elevating
alone are worthy their pencil aud
worthy tbe admiration of the moral
and Intelligent human beings of ail
races. When clothed in the drap
ery of divine beauty and sublimated
by exaltation of thought, the
nude in art becomes elevating,
When displayed in uu indelicate
manner, calculated to bring the
blush of shame to the ohoek of the
Inuocent, and arouse the llutrriuit
and violent passions of the sophis
ticated, the nude in art is repiehen
slbie and degrading. Thnt is the
case with tbe displays at Portland.
Thousaudsof heads of families will
refrain from visiting tio exposition
with their children.
s ito
tbe
fulling off, until In counties where,
there had becu fifteen or twenty
subordinate granges they dwindled
to one or two, On thu other hand,
in localities whero there were wise
leaders aud the grango was started
and run on nn educational basis, It
has continued a power for gootl. ,
There are some wrongs that can
only be rluhtcd by legislation, but
these should be discussed dlspassloa
ulely. and When wo ncree what
Is needed we should send a delega
tion of Intelligent men to lay the
matter before tbo proper committees
of our legislative bodies. In tbo
nienutlmo wo should ''go slow" in
the organizing of now parties, but
should watch carefully to seo the
old parties understand what we
want, nud then cas,t our voles Irre
spective of party for tho men who
will look after our Interests. The
farmers of this country have a com
mon interest with nil other indus
trial classes, and the business of Ril
ing tho products of our farm and
furnishing us with needed supplies
is as necessary as growing tho crops,
and thutman is a demagogue whose
rnllylng cry is, "down with the
middleman." I firmly believe that
there aro belter times ahead for the
farmer, that prices arc to be better
for some years to come than they
have been for several years past. I
albo believe that if wo aro wise and
prudent wc shall be able to shape
legislation in most cases so as to re
lieve us of injustice.
In what I" have said I nmnot criti
cising tho Alliance or any other
form of organization among farmers.
Iain glad to seo the farmeis organ
izing, and am a member of' every
organization near-enough to .me so
that I can attend its meetings; but
I do criticise some of the methods,
and deprecate the f ict that in some
cases farmers hue allowed old po
litical soreheads to speak to uud for
them, and they have made bpeecbes
only calculated to anger tho farm
ers, aud have pointed out-no ration
al remtdles for eistiug-evlls.
