Editor Democrat.
l wish to correct some statements
made in letter from here which ap-
peared in tho Dsmo-rat about two
weeks ago. The church did not
try Otto Lubker at ALL 4 charge
was preferred against him on account
OF q personal matter between him
and Elder Norton, and ut the request
of the latter II was withdrawn. A
charge of profanity was also brought
against him, bat as he could not have
been proven guilty except by the use
of outside testimony, and as there
was some doubt whether il could be
secured in time, this charge was also
withdrawn along with tho other
In regard TO Mr.. Il. G. Russell | will
say that he presented The church rec
ord to Elder Norton in my presence
and asked to have his name taken off.
Elder Norton told him the church
would have to do it. 1t rested there,
as Mr.. II. never presented tho mat.
ter to the church.
The reason that the three persons
were dismissed was that we believed
they were trying to destroy the

been such as the people woald have nc.
copied and he could have become the
greatest man in our state, Ills sad ex-
perienco should be warning TO others
who arc following in his footsteps. The
people demand that purchased editors
and Judges shall DO dispensed with.
These ulcers on the body polite shall
be removed. And criminals in high
place shall no longer override the de
mands of the public for fair dealing
The press purchased by corporations is
usually the high moral engines in the
community. They draw the liro Of in
dignation from themselves on to aoms
uaiortunates with holy horror. They
keep tho reader in happy state Of ig-
norsaco rs to what is going on in refer
ence to the condition Of labor and capi-
tai. The inside workings Of the gigan
tho bodies that control our commerce aud
exact the lifo's blood from men, womon
aud children, are studionsly kept from
these victims by this ven press. This
subsidized press and these muzzled
courts are to our country what the I'm.
glish courts and prass are to ireland.
The time is at hand when this system
Of extogtion should be crushed out. We
must have an honest press. Tho edi
tor who will sell himself to outrage the
ights of the people or to deceive and
embarraEs them is criminal in the
sight of both God and man.

Ed HIRscH has pn: up nice little
job on his rival in this county for the
nomination for State Treasurer. Every
one suppeses that Earhart and Hirsch
have ''pooled their issues" and during
the past two weeks they have ascertain
ed that Col. rhos Montsith was devel-
oping too much strength to suit them.
Some means must be taken to weaken
him, and so We find Riley Kirk, OF
Brownsville, E.rhart's brother-in-
Law, putting in his oar for State
Treasurer. This. Of course is intended
60 divide the Linn county delegation in
the State Convention, and is real nice
little job. Any political dodge that tie
Salem ring cannot think of is net worth
taking.

Mr.. DeVaney, the writer Of the

serious mistake in IT; that IL did not
read as he had intended. Can you ex-
plain It?

Yes;rhc is right. IT'S letter ar
rived late IN the week from some
cause, and as we were crowded for
space, we undertook 70 shorten u T.
littlo. In doing 50 an error was
made which we did not notice until
the paper was printed. We hope
now this matter will rest, as both
sides have had hearing. The

Mr. Ben Holladay came into Oregon
with the belief that his success depended
on his ability to run courts, editors aud
Legislatures. He secured the services
of few Bohemians to do his work ,and
we'll they did it for themselves. There
was one editor mot now resident OF

ordinate positions who are excepted
from Ibis statement. All others were
curse to him and disgrace to Oregon.
Holladay squandered no less than half
a million of dollars on these men in
newpaper and other schemes. Crimes
Of the worst character were perpetrated
under this band of piundsrers. We
can date our first election frauds to
these men, when bribery was an open
thing. Who paid for all this2 The bond

a LOBHfIaG sCREMI..

At the present time strong effort
Is being made in Congress to secure an
appropriation sufficient to remove the
bar at the entrance to Yaquina Bay. OF
coursc this is meeting with great oppo.
stion from Willard and his lackeys, AS
they do not want che Willamette Valley
to have any Quito. for her commerce
except througa Portland. Every in
iluencc that it is possible to control is
brought TO bear en Congress to prevent
the appropriation from being made.
The latest move OF this kiad which has
been made OF. here in OregJu appeared
IN the last Saguiay OrcJoRiaL II was
a very ,ieious attack on tho BAY aud
upon the Oregon Pacific Railroad,
which road has It's western terminus Et
that point, and was cyi'len tly intended
TO be read in the East instead Of This
State. The principal point male in
the article Is that whca the steamer
Yaq,:iR1 made her frs: trip around to
che Bay, her Captain would Lol cross
the bar for fear Of wicckins hia vessel.
Now 1t i Il we'll known fact that sever.
al vessels drawing no less water than
the fa2eiaa have gone in there a. the
same stage OF the tide, and ono made
the entrance during severe storm al
ter she bal been completely diarnantled.
IL is the opinion ot all who sew the Ha-
qniao of the bar OH here frat trip that
she could have catered without ans
difficulty and they were completsly sur
prised TO 20: her 60 away and not make
trial Of it. We will not presume to
give the true reason why Capt. Denny
returned TO Astoria without entering
the Bay, but we think it probable that
a man who can sccure tho CO operation
Of tho OreJoaian in his hattie with the
eieizens Of ths Willamett. VALLEY, can
also, and NJ doubt in the same manner,
bring to his assistance a. leas. one sea
captain. The OreJonians article was
written Simply to be used by its mas
ter before Congress to preveat an appro-
priation for the Bay.
The OreJoniln's charge tina. the man.
ayers Of the Oregon Pacific Railroad
had "doated their bonds upon Wall
street upon the statemens that Ya-
quina's bar aad an average depth Of 81
feet at low tide" is as false as the rsp-
resentation made in Sew York few
weeks ago ~ the OregontaO's master,
Willard, that Yaquina bar only had 3
feet of water on it at low tide. The
managers of the o. 7. II. X. make no
statements that cannot be proven by
the L. S. Coast surveys. OF Course,
there is not sufficient water ION the
bar at present to carry over in safety
even average size vessels .ic there was
there would be no need of asking mon
ey from Congress to improve it.
Friends of Yaquina DO claim that on
lyya narrow rock bar separates the
bay and the ocean, and that there is
80 feet Of water on each side oil it.
All they want is for Congress to
make an appropriation to remove this.
The railroad will take care of itself,
whether it pays or not, it will make
no dif.reace to the OreJonian.
