EDITORIAL.
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

their absolute correctness.
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

work at good wages; tlie working men
could begin to once more 1111 his

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
