CLAIMING TOO MUCU.
Onco in n whllo a Democratic
paper claims too much. Tho Albany
Democrat says:
Things am not as they oujlt to
bp. Socially or politically a
C hnim coy Depow, Jay Gould, or
Huntington is the equal of n thou
sand labor people. Why Is this m?
Simply, because, slnco tlio Republi
can party came Into power tho legis
lation of the country has been
moulded largely In the Interests or
these monopolistic plutocrats.
When Mr. Cleveland was presi
dent the most remarkable brood of
plutocrats that ever Bwarmed from
the breeding pous of Wall street
went Into power. Standard Oil
Payne was senator aud fulher-ln-law
of tho cabinet millionaire who was
closest to the president. Ho was
succeeded by the railroad wrecker,
Brlce, while one national bank presi
dent after auother succeeded Dan
Manning as secretary of tho trcaB
ury and treasurer of tho United
States. Chauucey Depow, Jay Gould
and C. P. Huntington aio private
citizens, while the men wo havo
named above were honored with the
highest places of power in tho gift
of the Democrat party. The Demo
ciat should hurl its javelins at tho
plutocrat in power and not confine
its remarks to inflammatory appealB
to bomb-throwora aud to influence
liguorant voters to voto tho Demo
cratic ticket. Depew, Gould and
Huntington are not tho "equal of a
thousand labor people." But grant
ing tho Democrat's undemocratic
theory, If those unofficial plutocrats
each equal a thousaud"labor people"
how many thousand "labor people"
will a plutocrat In tho senate, or a
plutocrat in tho cabinet equal?
When a Republican administration
commits such offences against the
people as tho Democratic party did
under Cleveland, it can bo very
properly turned out of office as the
Cleveland administration was, bag
and baggage, root, trunk and
branch.
It is reported as a fact that Grover
Clevelaud has beon cnunsol at
$50,000 a year, over since ho retired
from the presidency of our country,
for a Now York stretit railway, for
which he vetoed a bill when gov
ernor to reduce Its fares from ten
cents, to five cents. Is this n fact?
If it Is, it argues volumes against
that gentleman' sincerity and do
voiinn to the "labor people," some
of whom have to pay a doublo faro
to go to their work. Rut it Is uot
necrssary that it be true. Mr. Cleve
land BUillclciitly Identified hinibelf
with tho plutocrats to throw a doubt
upon the Albany Democrats theory
that tho Republican party crented
thoso plutocrats. If Republican
legislation created them, it is certain
a Democratic administration did
not consider then) dangerous to tho
country, but ofllclally recognized
them in a way no Republican ad
ministration ever did.
Mil. HILL'S RTItKNUTH.
The Democratic press of Oregon
is quarreling about Hill and Cleve
land. .
"There is no possible contingency
in which Hill could effect his own
nomination." Albany Democrat.
After June 22d next the editor of
the Democrat may havo toacRiiowl-
edgo that ho wus mistaken. "No
posh I Die coutluconcy" Is too positive
a phraBo to use in ppeakiug of polit
ical events uireo montns niieau. -Portland
Telegram.
There is ono point about Hill that
none of these Democratic papers
bring out and that Is that he is not
a pet of the corporations, of Wall
Htreet, aud of the free traders, as
Cleveland Is. If Hill is elected
president he will never appoint a
cabinet or sign n bill that Is dictated
by either of the above trinity of In
fluences that form n halo about the
head of tho ex-presldcut. Rad
things as some of tho Democratic
papers say about Hill, he is more of
a man of the people aud for the
people than Cleveland, and much
as Grover Cleveland may pralo
about tho "plain people" be has not
the grip on those name plain people
In New Yotk that Hill has. Hill
carrion a vote in tho fanning counties
in the interior of thut state which
Cleveland cannot touch.
Speaking candidly as a Republi
can apcr, wo believe it can ouly be
cause of gratification to Republicans
if Mr, Cleveland gets the Demo
cratic nomination. He cannot carry
the vote that Hill can nnd his mug
wump suptxirt U more than ollaeU
Mr. l'amelt had the mugwump up
ort and Hill loul him by an enor
mous majority. He would surpass
Clewland's popular vote In about
the ame ratio, .
MXN COUNTY OOVKItNMKNT.
The Balein Jodk.val is highly
ptaawd that the third party has
place I a lioket In the field In Lino
iMunly, not that there Is any hope
whatever that a ulnglo man on that
ticket can be elected, but because It
attsri
makes tho "political situation doubt
ful with the chances In favor of tho
Republicans" nnd that if Republi
cans should succeed, It "will tend to
lmprovo eouuty government not a
little." Yo gods nnd men 1 Im
prove county government. Lot tho
blind zealot of Tiik Journal reflect
for a moment that not a county In
the state that for tho last twenty
five years has beon so well nnd fru
gally mauaged ns Llnu county.
Albany Democrat.
Tho farmers of Linn county do
not ngreo with tho Democrat. They
have organized nnd put a ticket in
the field, and Btraugo to say they do
not seem to recognize the truth of
all that the Democrats claims for Its
count ring Democrats In tho line
of "frugal management" The
Democrat can talk well enough to
outsiders, but it seems to bo difficult
to convince tlio farmers of Llnu that
tho county government up there Is
not lu soma need of Improvement.
IIOADS AND ItOAI) MAKING.
E. B. Collerd writes to tho Mc.
Minnvillo Telephone-Register:
"While it will in n measure ho im
possible for mo to carry out my plan
of worklug tho roads owing to tho
small amount of funds, I will, ns
nearly as possible. First, tho road
should bo cleared of nil underbrush,
timber and stumps tho full width
and a thorough system of drainage
adopted. Water should not Lo
allowed to stand lu tho dltshcs as it
now does lu most of our rouds.
Whou thlB is done, In my judge
ment, tho most difficult problom of
road work will bo solved. Owing to
our county being comparatively level
It will ho necessary to grado most of
tho roads. On nil sixty feet roads
the grades should bo uot less than
forty feet wldo on tho base. All cul
verts should bo box or tilo, nt least
twenty-four feet long; this will give
n good way, and tho culverU will be
less likely to fill up by teams driving
over tho euds. Wo aro not properly
equipped for effective work; each
district should bo provided with a
road grader and heavy rollor, tho
plow nud dump-scraper are two
slow. Making roads with such im
plements is too much Uko cutting
wheat with n grain-cradle.
"Whether this Is to bo pormaucnt
or not, tho county should furnish
improved machlucry, so that tho
money can bo oirectlvoly and econo
mically expended. If each district
will work a portion of tho road
thoroughly for a year, in few yeara
tho whole can bo mado good, but If
we continue to patch them up as tho
work has been douo horotoforo, just
so long will our roads bo bad during
tho-wctseason. At another tlmo I
may glvo another reason why the
farming community should support
all movements that will in tho end
give us bettor roads,"
A correspondent of Tho Herald
pays that Albany has 400 school
children who cannot bo accom
modated nt tho publia schools.

SHOOTING AT PORTLAND.
It was John H. McMahan Instead of
L. McMahon.
Pobtland, March 18. Policeman
Day Hutchlns, who was very much
intorcstcd in tho case, told his story
llvo minutes after It happened, as
tho policeman and tho wounded
prisoner woro riding to tho jail In
tho patrol wagon.
"I was standing at Front and
Alder streets when I saw a large
crowd como running up Front street
from Morrison, and thoy turned up
Alder. Thoy wore pursuing this
man lying In tho wagon and one
young fellow Bald to me, 'I am a
stato officer, and I want you to help
mo arrest this man.' Ho had a pair
of handcuffs In his hand, and I
Joined in tho pursuit. Tho fugitive
turned Into tho saloon between Front
and First, and I was close behind
him porhaps Blxty feet away.
"Iuside the saloon I said to him,
'You had better glvo youreolf up If
you aro wanted,' but Instead of doing
bo he pointed his gun straight at mo
and flied. How ho missed mo I am
euro I cannot tell, but It was a mira
cle. I have not as yet looked at my
clothes to seo If they woro punctured
but thoy must bo. I did not havo
my gun out at tho time, and so the
man had a chanco to mako his es
cape. I thought tho crowd would
Boud him back, and so I drew my
revolver and pointed it at tho door.
"Ho did riot como back, howover,
but jumped into Bob Stevenson's
ox press wagou and started Up Aider
street at a flerco gait. The crowd,
which was by this time very large,
ran after tho wngon, aud the man
turned around, firing Indiscrimin
ately. I don't bollovo any one was
struck by tho bullets, and I certainly
hopo not. I fired at him four times,
with what ofl'eot I don't know.
Whou Lltt's corner was reached the
wngon struck the curb and he wentj
out aa tho wheel broke. Here he
was pounced upon aud hold until
tho patrol wngon came up."
Whon tho patrol wngon arrived at
tho scone It could baroly make Its
way through tho enormous crowd
which had suddenly sprung up as
from tho ground. Thoro wora a
half a dozen officers, headed by
Captain Cardwell, on board, and the
man was at onco put lnsldo and
started for tho Jail. Hero another
largo assomblngo was congregated,
aud tho man was taken Into the
front coll, whloh was filled by a
crowd anxious to see tho fellow.
Thoro arrived at once L. H. Mo
Mohan, the editor of tho Woodburn
Independent. In one baud heiield
his handcuff's nnd in the other his
warrant. It was sworn out by a
Justice of tho peaco In Woodburn,
who had wrltton across the top that
he deputized "It, H. McMahan to
servo it.
Ho told hla Btory as follews: "Tlie
prisoner's name la John H. Mo
Mahan, and ho la a cousin of mine,
Ho Is, as fur as I know, the only
ono who oyer did anything worse
than to go Into tho nowapapor busi
ness, Ho Is accused of obtaining
monoy under falsa pretensco and by
fraud. Tho crime consisted of forg
ing my nnmo to an order for $3,
and, oa I know him hotter than any
ono else, I was mado a special oftl
oer to servo the warrant.
"I met him nt Front and Morrison
streets ust before all tho row, and
told him I had a warrant for him,
nnd wanted him to go back home
without any trouble or fuss.
"Ho said, 'I'll bo d d If I do l
and started to go away. I showed
him my warrant, of which he re
fuaed to tako any uotIco,and walked
away.
"I then pullod my gun and cov
ered him. He jumped at mo and I
pulled tho trigger, but the cartridge
missed fire. Wo grappled, and
finally John got tho revolver away
from mo and threatened to aboo
me, but I Jumped behind a tele
graph polo, aud he wont down
Front street.
"A big crowd had seen the tirtuJti
between us and followed him with
me. Whon Alder street wm NftOfted
I saw Day Hutchlns, and called, on
him for awlnUuce, saying that I
waa unarmed, and that 1m bad
