TRAINS AND TELEGRAPH PARALYZED
Dozens of Pennsylvania Towns
Inundated by Water.
Williamsport, Pa., May 21. With
the horrors of the disastrous flood of
'.S9 which spread death aud destruction
throughout this valley, brought back
ti memory by the threatened danger
of n swoop of water that promises to be
as streat as that of five years ago, the
people of this city and throughout the
west brauch of the valley are in a state
of panic that turned the usually quiet
Suuday into one of remarkable excite
ment. Since Friday night a steady
and almost continuous downpour of
ra'n has been swelling all the streams,
aud late last night numerous cloud
bursts along Pine creek aud other trib
utaries of the west branch of .the Sua
quehanua have made it impossible to
"confine the water within the bunks of
the streams. It has Itherefore spread
out over the country, and at every
print is pouriug into the rnaiu river.
Darkness last night settled over the
city, aud the rain, which had been
falling all day, was Htill coming down
in torrents. The river is couuiug up
rapidly.

Yreka, Cal., May 21. Tho cloud
which has hung over George Decker,
the Yreka rancher, for two weeks, was
cleared up Saturday by the arrival of
his wife and daughter, whom ho whb
accused of murdering years ago. 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

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.
