The case Is a remarkable one, tho murders charged to him by credulous citizens numbered ten aud he was looked upou by his neighbors as a monster of Iniquity. They were barely prevented from lynching him afler his arrest. Decker claimed iuuocence, aud his at torney set to work to fiud the missing woman aud child, whoso bones some boys were alleged to have found. He found them living in Colous not two hundred miles away, totally ignorant of Decker's peril. They arrived at Yreka aud Decker was discharged from custody.

Gov't Report i?riV B ABSOLUimr PURE THE JOUKNAL'S CAMPAIGN. At this critical time It is not in order for tho editor of The Journat to say what ho will do for tho peoplo of this county or state If he Is elected to the legislature. Promises and professions, whethor in moral, religious or political mutters, are repulsivo to peoplo of In telligence. A man's every day life aud work Is better evldeuco of what to ex pect of him than any campaign prom ises. The campaign of The Journal aud its editor, whether iu print or on the stump, or tho work of either In couneu tlon with public uflulrs in city, county, state or nation, nro aud will remain what they have been responsible to tho peoplo only. As wo have upheld or criticised men In public office, and policies heretofore, wo expect to do so in tho future. With Increased circula tion and luilueuce The Journal hopes to bo of more service to tho peoplo. Ii does not believe In sensationalism or demagogery, aud will not flatter men for favors, or gush over them for votes, or fawn upou those in power. It be lieves tho poorest man iu the county Is as much entitled to his rights and to consideration as a citizen as tho richest. The Journal has never onguged in tirades agaiust the wealthy nor In demugoglo appeals to the poor. It huH always ap pealed to manhood aud humanity regardless of creed, sect, party, race or social position. These aro broud views to hold, uud they meet with opposition among some who aro incapable of tak ing broad views, The Journal has criticised Governor Pennoyer, It has almost alone und Hinglehuuded iu the newspaper field fought what It con ceived to be great abuses In tho man agement of some of our public corpora tions. It expects to continue to do this. It expects to bo milled upon to criticise public officials iu the future us iu tho past, not from personal or political motives, but fur the protection of the peoplo. What protection have the people against abuse of power and trusts, extravagance and corruption, on the purt of public officials, except the press? Will they allow a man to be struck down at the behest of a pol itician like Peunoyer bocauso ho has held him up to public censure when he has gone wrong? Wo think not, The Journal's campaigns are in the Interest of the peoplo. It Is clean handed. It has never received u dollar In any manner from the public treusury for any service but legitimate business advertising. It has never asked for clerkships, public salaries, fees or emoluments, and has never "struck" a man ou the ticket for money. It be lieves in reducing tho profits of po litical activity to the lowest limit possible. It Is clearly necessary In Oregon to raduce the expenses of state govern ment materially to abolish all clerk ships In tho legislature and elsewhere t iut can be dispensed with, and In hard times and financial stringency very fdw can be retained. The commissions, game and fish wardens, etc., aro un justifiable luxuries, aud now Is a good time to rid our state of them forever. The office of attorney general uud many other offices are needless, uncon stitutional, and now Is the tlmo to l p them on", "Man's Importunity Is God's opportunity," Is an old camp meeting maxim. A period of pecuniary dis tress is a favorable opportunity for re forms. Those whose interests lie In op posing reforms we exect will oppose a candidate who stands earnestly for re forms. Those who enjoy sinecures In our state aflalrsat the expense of the taxpayer will not help take burdeus oil' the shoulders of the people. The Journal will labor to this end with any honeat men who are sunt here to the legislature. This work will havo to be done by the people's representa tives elected Juue 4th. It cannot be done by the state officials then chosen, They merely carry out, help or hinder the work of reform. That work must be carefully and thoroughly done in the legislature. The work done next win ter by the legislature will be for ten or twenty years to come. The state of ficials who are once In power, unless taking bwder they nro far nbovo tho nvorogo offico holder, cannot bo relied upon as a check upon extravagance In publlo af fairs. Their Influence Is to lucreaso tho burdens of tho taxpayer rathor than to llghteu them. If they havo furthor political ambitions they will consent to almost anythlug rather than oppose any man's scheme. The Journal la tied up to no man's personal sohemes In politics. It is no man's organ or ofany set of men. It lias uovor depouded up on any political plunder,but has sought to exist nsnn Independent Republican newspaper. It is not oven prostituted for any gain for any man connected with It. Often it has beou the case that Its treasury would have been replenish ed by veering from the courso of publlo duty for private gain. That opportunity comes to all nowspupor men. It has nover been embraced by The Jour nal. Its record In this respeot chal lenges scrutiny. It has not succeeded at all times In securing reforms as It had wished. But It has fought to tho best of Its ability In this direction at all times aud shall cnntlnuo to do so. That Is The Journal's campulgti, WORTH C0XSIDKMNU. Tho only argument cvor usod against Frank Waters for Recordor, was against hU Republicanism. That cannot bo questioned, lie was born, bred, oud raided a Republican, besides being a man of Republican convictions him self. His father, Col. W. H. II. Waters was a life-long Republican, only a few years before his death Joining tho Democratic parly. It Is Important to tho people of Marlon oMinty that thoy huvo their work woll and carefully done, and that Mr. Waters Is com petent aud painstaking no ouo can question. As a native son of Oregon, Marlon county should tuko pride In making him recorder. Money Coming. Rev. Shulso to day recoiyed $10 more for tho pursonugo fund from friends iu the cast.
