It is all right for .State Treasurer Phil Meischitn to Ignore tlie mandate of tho supreme court and refuse to recognize warrants. It would be all wrong for Harry Klncald as secretary of state to Ignore their order to issue warrants on the treasury. This shows more plainly than anything else the rottenness and unfairness of our present Eepublicau administration. Tho secretary Is compelled to issue warrants without the legislature mak ing appropriations. The treasurer is not required to pay them, but doesn't know what to do with an overflowing treasury. The clamor of the gang was that the Secretary should be compelled to draw warrants to keep the taxpayer's money from lying idle In the treasury. When that Is done the Treasurer cooly stamps the warrants no'u paid for want of funds, and a half million dollars of warrants are set to drawing eight percent interest. "SOMEBODY MAKING MONEY. State Taxes Pile up In the State Treasury While the State Pays Interest on Claims." Following article appears from the Corvallls Gazette, the Republican or gan of Benton ceunty: "All over the state the counties were made to dig up state taxes and pay their respective amounts into the state tieasury. Tho treasurers and seveial of the county rourts wanted to without the payment of the taxes this year, and apply the amounts on tint county indebtedness. Thus ap applled, they would have stopped the Interest mi outstanding county war rants. But the state olllcals insisted thai the .slate taxes should be piomptly paid into the state treasury. why they wanted them piled up In the tieasury vaults tit Salem Is not known, but they iiiblst that it should be so, and as u result $000,000 is now locked up there, oris beioguscd for speculation. Meantime the warrants for all expenses are Issued, and every dollar draws 8 per cent Interest In a year this interest will aggregate to the great sum of $48,000, and It will have to be paid by the taxpayers, 848,0CO added to the rest of the taxes that will haye to be raised will make the taxpayers groan and sweat all the more because tho Incurring of the same is nonscnlcal, foolish and unnecessary. "Meanwhile men aoout tne capitoi aro anxious to buy state warrants. AH the time they have been busy buy ing up state vouchers at a discount whenever possible. It is a smooth, easy way of making money, and a yery safe one, for tho state Is behind the debts. What wonder that the legislative session was held up. What wonder that afterwards Governor Lord declared that the counties must send in their state taxes, and that Treasurer Metschan wrote letters to tlie various couiity treasurers culliug on them to send in slate taxes out of the lirst moneys collected. What wonder with all these possibilities for private gain in traftluking in the state paper and state debts that there is now $000,000 bandy in tho state treas ury vaults, that men whom the state owe ure whistling for their pay or running the gauntlet of warrant brokers, and that tho people hourly complain that tax burdens are high." Tho abovo Is from a paper whoso ed itor has just been appointed Postmas. tor at Corvallls. He is an intelligent young man, not yet corrupted In the whlteehupel school of Oregon politics. Ho cannot understand wliy tho Ore gon Taiuiiiutiy cliould not render to Hi i people the tliliigsnvlilcli belong to tho people common honesty and or dinary compllaucu with law. Young Mr. Johnson labors undor tho Impres sion that because these nieu arc Re publicans they ought nut openly com mit felonies and do violence to justice and tho constitution. lie will llyo to lcurn that no, greater thieves, or more Ignorant or morally debauched, ever luusquoraded as public servants In tho name of Republicanism than the Ore gon Tammany. The treasurer dcllautly refuses to make public his semiannual reports. They are deposited with tlie governor. Under the law it Is not made his offi cial duty to gl-c them to the public. While the governor thus befriends the treasurer it cannot be said the governor s in anywise to blame for tho management of the public funds, or the stamping or warrants. If tlie governor is befriending tlie treasurer, only the rankest political hatred of the governor Hows from the treas urer's personal following. That place was made the demijohn buffet for tlie Mitchell push all through the session. It is tlie Tam many joint, and the treasurer is the pet of the spoils polltleans who revel in tlie hard earned money of the tax payer and propose to name the next govc nor and treasurer, and it will not be Lord if they haye their way. Tlie contents of the state treas ury and Its real condition are as se cret as the inner chambers of the Pyramid of Cheops. They intend to keep it so and put the big-bearded chief of the Hebrew money changes foreyer in charge of It. Governor Lord may think by favoring the white chapel methods of the Oregon Tam many that he is in bed wlth'them. But he Is not in It. He may be on one corner of tlie bed, but he Is not under the coverlid, and will wake up with cold extremities when the rest of the gang will be In feathers. When such Republican pupers- as the Corvallls Gazette cry out at the maladministration of Republican olll clals it is time for decent Republicans to awaken out of their lethargy. The morality andthe decency of the party cry out at the way the public funds aro administered. The people are asked to pay eight percent, interest on state warrants while tlie taxes al ready paid are being used to speculate with, llic latter is tlie opinion of the best Informed persons at Salem. They may be mistaken. But Jf they aro why till the secrecy in the man agement of tlie treasury? Is It for the benefit of tho taxpayers ? Ij It to protect the people or the gang? January 1, 1807, there was 8308,034.42 cash reported in the treasury. Of this 240,047.49 was sdiool and land funds, principal anu Interest. Who believes it was there? There is that much surplus there now or ought to be, besides all tho money received from the counties aud land loans eyer since. Some was apportioned in Au gust and some loans have been made. But the fund has constantly In creased. In Nebraska the "Demo-Pop" ad ministration use all the surplus school-fund lying Idle to buy state warrants, and the eight percent in terest on sttito warrants is at least paid Into the school funds. Here tho same Supreme court that sanc tions .the Tammany methods of mulcting the people, by making them uy Interest on their own taxes, would say that Oergon cannot do what Nebraska does. It wouldn't be In the Interests of the gang to permit it. It would be tak ing away tho privilege of bankets who buy warrants with money out of the state treasury direct. In short it would bo unconstitutional! It would bo PopuUstic If not anarchistic to do anything for the people and give some poor man's child a dollar's wo.-th of public education. If tho Republican party of Oregon has any molality or virtue, any Intelligence or patriotic impulses, If it Is capable of anything In the cause of good government, the people would welcome the discovery. tuted ptocccdings against his critics for contempt "f court, and when the accused at his bar secured from the Supreme Court an alternative writ of prohibition, he adjudged them guilty of fresli contemnt for having filed Ulidavlts alleging the. truth of their criticisms, and committed them to Jail for thirty days, the sentence to begin at once. The Supreme Court then held that tho now contempt pro ceedings were In excess of the Juris diction of the udge, made tlie writ or prohibition absolute In tin opin ion filed last week the Supreme Court put the gist of the case Into the fol lowing telling paragraphs: "Truly it must bo a grievous and weighty necessity which will justify so arbitrary a proceeding, whereby a candidate for ofllce becomes the ac cuser, judge, and Jury, and may within a few hours summarily punish his critic by Imprisonment. The result of such doctrine is that all unfavora ble criticism of a sitting judge's past official conduct can be at once stopped by the Judge himself, or, if not stopped, can be punished by Immedl ate imprisonment. "If there can be any more effectual way to gag the press and subvert free dom of speech, we do not know where to find It. Under sucli a rule the mer its of a sitting judge may oe rehearsed but as to his demerits there must be profound silence. In our opinion no such divinity "doth hedge about" a judge certainly not when he is a can didate for public ofllce." The Republicaus of Oregon have as vicious a Tammany element to deal with as the people of New Yoak. Silver Republians can boldly pro claim that they stand on all the Re publican platforms ever drawn in state or uatipn prior to 1800. They stand now where they did before. We heartily indorse the financial platform of Tlie Sacramento Bee, which has always been a Republican paper, but drew the line at the gold standard St. Louis platform adopted last year, and refused to support the Hanna combination. Here is its platferm: , "First The opening of the mints of the United Sataes to free and un llmlied coinage of silver, "Second Tlie payment of bonds of the United States in accordance with the letter and spirit of tho contract "in coin of the United States" a sil ver dollar to be of equal and exact value, in the payment of that or any other debt, with a gold dollar. "Third The passage of a law mak ing it a felony, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any man within the Jurisdiction of the United otates, to aepreeuuc tne race vaiuo or any money stamped with the faith, and creditor the Nation." The Bee says that it has not left Its party, but that the party has left It. that Is the true position of all Re publicans who refuse to wear the Mark Hanna collar. They stand just where they did before their party be come "Hantialzcd," as tho Bee terms it. Tlie supremo test of political paths of today is trust In gold standardlsm or adhcrency to Its opposition. No one can travel both roads without disaster. Lot him come out for that which ho supported In the hails ut congress Independent bimetallism In the winter of '00, and twenty thousand more than half the voters of Oregon will say that he Is right. Illlsboro Argus. The above advice Is to John II. Mitchell. If he'd comoout for "In dependent bimetallism" who'd be lieve hlni?

It will be remembered that we were told, a year ago, that all our troubles arose from a free trade taritl and the lack of conlidcncc caused by tho sil ver heresy, with the latter consider ably In tho lead. Wo were told that the election of Mr. MoKlnley would at once "restoro" this all-Important "conlidcnco." Banks would loan their money; business men would bor row said money, and put It Into cir culation; the wheels of our factories wuuld again begin to whirl with daz zling rapidity; every one could get work at good wages; tlie working men could begin to once more 1111 his stomach .with the products of tlie farm; and tlie farmer would again be able to buy the girls- a piano. You see, Wall street was to lead, and the farmer was'to came In at the tall end of tho procession. Well, Mr. McKlnley was elected. Did the promised results materialize? Have we so soon forgotten the weary months or waiting for a glorious dawn that persistently refused to show up? In spite of the frenzied piospenty bowlings of the whole Republican and goldbug press; in spite of Henry Clews' gratuitous correspondence; in spite of Dunn's and Bradstrect's weekly prophecies of revival, and their next-weekly explanations that for some unaccountable reason the thing had missed lire that week, but would surely go oil next week; in spite of restored confidence, "and the 'congestion In our money centers" of untold millions that were fairly aching to be loaned; In splto of every thing, in fact, which wo had been told would restore prosperity with a rush, there was not, outside of the newspapers, one solitary glimmer of any tangible evidence of revival until It became evident, that there would be a crop failure abroad. Then when it was plainly seen that there was a shortage In a the wheat crop of every wheat exporting country except this; when the price began to mount np in conseqence; when it was certain that our crop was to be abundant, and that our farmers were to be In a position to greatly prollt by the misfortune of the rest of the world; when, in short, it seemed certain that Dame Nature herself was to personally pour a little pros perity into the lap of our farmers, and no thanks to either the gold standard or the tariff; then, and not till then, did the dawn of prosperty begin to brighten the eastern sky, though, as a prosaic matter of fact, it brightened the western sky first tfiflsllttlo Riiurt of pronporty tins started first on tho farm, and every one, capable of knowing anything, knows It.
