Cabinet Resignations.
Chicago, Ills. Nov. 14. A Washing
ton special says: Both Secretaries J
Sterling Morton and Hoko Smith have
tendered their resignations to President
Cleveland as members of his cabinet.
The reasons assigned were the radical
and emphatic disagreement of these
two geutlf men with President Cleve
land's Hawaiian policy and thecoun-
teuance given to restoration of the
queen. President Cleveland through
Carllslo and Gresham has prevailed on
the braco of disgruntled statesmen to
withdraw their resignations, or at least
defer them for a time.

A Diplomatic Denial.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 14. Con
cerning reported dessension in cabinet
it can be said Morton is in accord with
president on his Hawaiian policy, and
that Hoke Smith has not given reason
to suppose ho entertains opinions differ
ing from those of the president on the
matter.
In Congress.
Washington, Nov. 14. It is no
eept d as Inevitable that the Hawaiian
In Ident will come up in con resa as
oon as the session opens. All Indlca
iio s of d vision will be on strict party
lines. Republicans tahe Cleveland's
position to be a reflection on Harrlson'i
action in the premises, ond will doubt
less attack him thervfor. Democrat
expect this, and are preparing to be
nut on ihe defensive. Tho Democrat
believe, at the opening of congress
Cleveland will send In a message, in
which he will make public many facte
hitherto unknown in this country,
which may put the casein an entire
new light. This is expected, especially
in view of the fact that Commissioner
Blount's report has never been given
out.
Congressman Geary, of California, a
member of the committee on foreign
,.fTir. lodov said: "All the facts are
not before the people yet, and I would
prefer to say nothing until later."

The New Tariff Bill.
Washington, Nov. 14. The now
Democratic tariff bill will be probably
given to the publlo In ten days or two
weeks. It la generally accepted that
wool, coal, Iron ore, lumber, lumber
and salt will be added to tho free list.
But the committee jealously guard the
list of manufactured articles, that are
to go on the same list. Sugar is still
under consideration, though so far the
tendency is to repeal the bounty and
put it on the free. Iron and coal men

those articles on the freo list. BUnd,
of Missouri, Culbertson, of Texas, and
others have openly annouuoed their In
tention of opposing free wool.

THE RErOItTS.
'On tho 2d Inst, wo called upon tho
county ofilclalB, the first official being
the oounty clork. Your oommlttoo
stated the purposo of Its mission to Mr.
Powell, who lu reply to our question
why tbo semi-annual statement of tho
dnanuial condition of tho county had
not been published for tho months of
April and October, 1893, stated that It
Uad not beon customary to publish
these statement. After reading the law
to Mr. Powell, the fwnatty for Its viola
tion, etc., ho acknowledged that he
new the statute Wlion asked If he
would publish a statement, ho said he
would, if ordered by tho county oourt,
ifter which tho committee pointed out
that tbo county court had nothing todo
with It, and that It waa mandatory up
on tho clerk to have it published,
"Tho committee called upon Sherlft

Slierld Kelly reports (108,020.21 In the
Northwest Loan & Trust Company's
bank, $148,717.88 in the Oregon Nation
al bank and 2000 In the Union Bank
mg Company, in ull 1310,041.12. He
was asked why tbeso funds were not
available, to which ho replied he could
uot check against them as It would
close the bauks. Ho was fdrther asked
whetbor he had any monoy whloh could
be turned Into tho school fund, and he
replied that the banks had promised to
raise (50,000 by Dec, 1.
"The following day your ooommltteo
ascertained that tbere wore some funds
doposited by the treasurer In one of the
banks. We made a second visit to the
treasurer's office on the 3d and mado
further Inquiry In regard to this matter.
vVe Informed the treasurer that we were
aware that he had some funds In one of
the banks, and Mr. Malarky, upon sec
ond thought, said he did havo some
state funds, but that we had nothing to
do with that. We then ask ed Mr. Mai
arkey whether the state treasurer had
receipted for the same. Ho said no.but
that there was an understanding be
tween Mr. Metsohan, state treasurer,
and Mr. Loewenberg, of tho Merchants
National bank, and that everything
was all satisfactory. Ho was asked as
to the amount, and replied (121,000, He
was then asked If any arrangement bad
been made wltb the bank for tho pay
ment of 8 per oent Interest that the
county was paying on the warrants un
redeemed because of tho money in the
bank, and he said that question had
not been raised. Then the committee
ventured tbo remark that the people
bad already raised the question.
When asked as to the amount or
moneys due to the state, and as to the
amount of moneys on band, he submit
ted a letter from SUte Treasurer Meta-
chan, bearing date March 21, 1BV3,
making an urgent appeal to our county
treasurer to forward moneys due, Insist
log that It should be forthcoming as the
titate was paying 8 per cent Interest on
Its outstanding warrants, and that the
moneys should be applied to tbeir can
cellation. Then followed an Itemized

about (500 In the general fund and a
bout (4000 In tbo school fund.
"The sheriff Btated that ho could not
fllo the report with the olork, as ho
lacked 9323,049 20 of tho (857,623.82
whloh should havo been paid over to
the county treasurer. Of this amount
about (20,000 Was duo him fur taxes
from some of our wealthy people, al
though the books show them as havlrg
been paid, while in faot ho holds the
receipts, claiming that it would not do
to publish them as being delinquent,
the remainder being In two of the local
banks. There Is no reoord of the col
leutlou of a road poll tax, and tho report
or but 1012 poll taxes being collected ex
cites much comment.
"From this it will be seen that be has
on band (180,300.73.
"Finding that these ofllclals have so
rar neglected and refused to make the
flnauclal reports as required by law,
your committee proceeded to lay the

tho district attorney was at Salem, and
we laid tho matter before each of his
deputies, Malarkey and Hall, eaoh of
whom positively refused to Issuo tho
warrauts, as did also Justice McDeyltt.
Your committee thon awnlled the re-
turu of the district attorney, and upon
his arrival called upon that (flluial.
Upon learning our mission ho declined
and refused to Issue tho warrants out or
the Justice court, claiming that tbo Jus
tices are clossly associated wlpi the
county ofllclals and largely dependent
upon them for business, bo would not
expect a conviction In such cases, aud
the stigma or an acquittal would attach
to him for failure to convict.
"While waiting for an audlen"o with
the oounty court your committee had
the pleasure or hearing Hon. D. P.
Thompson, as school director, ask tt
tho county oourt why there was such
an unfair and uujust distribution or tho
funds that had been collected. He pre
sented figures showing that there
should have boen paid over to the
school fund (80,420.42, when In fact
(02,001 00 of that amount had beon paid
over to the road aud general funds.
Mr. Thompson further staUd that bad
tho school fund received Its proper
share, district No. 1 would not have
had to go and borrow (100,000, ui was
recently done. The tax payers will
readily see that they are oul (500 per
month In Interest on account of this
unlawful action or some or the officials,
"Owing to tho way we have beeu
blndvred and delayed your committee
has not been able to devote time enough
to dig Into the matter or expenditures

tee earnestly advises that It or a similar

ecu to the county clerk and sherd! for
having failed and neglected to rite their
emolument returns as provided by sec
tion 2378, and also to prosecute the
clerk, sheriff and treasurer for falling
to make the reports aa provided for by
section 8471. Your committee further
recommend that there should be em
ployed at least four men to carefully
expert the books of these official', as we
believe the cost of employing four men
fr.im doing their duty to the taxpayer.
These mnn should have the necessary
Intelllgonoo to look up carefully the
duties of the offices they are to Inspect,
and the moral courage to do their duty
fearlessly. Every office should be most
thoroughly searched."
OROVKR'8 LAST CAKE-WALK.
Tho resignation or two of President
Cleveland's cabinet members on ac

the rotten Hawaiian monarchy will t
no surprise to thoso who have witnessed
tho gradual ovolutlon or his autocratic

izu-'llo methods with bis party, hte
nullification or the Geary antl-OblnsM
law, his truckling to aristocrats and bta
connlvanoo with royalty, have loos
slnco disgusted loyal Americans. It te
only to be wondered at that the whole
cabinet has not before this reftetmeed
the president's mistaken and from a
patriotic standpoint, extraordinary fatal
policies.
The resignation or Hoke SimIUi will
