found in the Democratic party. They

are, forgetting, like the pharisees Of

Fox VALLEY, 0R.. July IL, 1883.
Ed. Democrat
The firSt thing on receiving the last
No. OF your paper was 10 look over the
proceedings Of the County Court, ex-
peeting Of course 10 see some action
taken on our petition for bridge at
Mehama. do not like 70 criticiss
the action Of our county officers, but
do say that we have been treated with
perfect contempt. Our petition had
over 300 names and represented nearly
one-fourth Of the taxable property Of
the county. Public sentiment was in
our favor, and we had n right TO expect
that our petition would be received
with some degree of respect, instead OF
being utterly ignored.
When the court appointed portion
Of its members a committee 10 make an
examination Of the site specified in the
petition, We considered that they were
as much bound TO comply with the
order Of the court as committee APP
pointed on the outside. Their action
towards US indicates a narrow, selfish,
system of economy, which is not in ne.
cordance with justice or progress.
Justice towarde their fellow citizens,
and progress towards developing the
resources of the county, because this
is a portion of Linn county, and we
are citizens of the same, although we
pay tribute to Marion county In the
way Of trade. Nature has made our
road ways and we cannot help it. We
think it high time that this petty
spirit Of jealousy against Marion Co.
should cease to exist, when it conflicts
with the interest of its citizens and the
development Of this part of the county.
understand the commissioners plead
poverty, but that is too thin. We took
the trouble to investigate the condition
Of the county fund, and that investiga.
tion proved conclusively that it was
not want Of funds that caused them
to ignore us.
wish the public to know how We
have been treated, but for fear an
trespassing on your time, patience ant
space, ] will stop right here.

INSANE ASYLUM.

Yes, Mr.. Statesman, the people are
inquiring why the Insane Asylum is
not ready for occupancy. The people
were told last fall that it would be
ready for occupancy by the time the
contract with the Hawthorne estate
expired, but now seven months have
passed apd yet 1t is not occupied.
A gentleman from Salem informs us
that there are but four or FIVE men
(favorites) employed on the Asylum
building, Except few coagicts, and
that the whole work for the last six
months has been characterized by In
d lference, incompetency and careless
ness. We think the Board would do
well to again send some one to Califor-
mia to see whether any more ventilation
fues are needed. But the best thing
the Board could do in the interest OF
the general public would be to establish
fus by the means OF which the man.
ner and ways of conducting the work
on the Asylum might be thoroughly
ventilated and laid bare before the
public. The only answer the Statesman
can give is weak attempt at ridicule,
but the "wart" and the iceberg" will
learn in due time that the great leading
sentiment of consciencious people now
is to hold public officials to a strict
performance of their duty, and that
ridicnle, abuse, nor anything else can
divert them from this course.

Crop reports from Minnesota, Dako-
to, Indiana, Kansas and parts Of
Illinois are on the whole favorable.
The recent rains have benefited crops
in Minnesota and Dakota, but in other
places they have done much injury.
Reports from Kansas are good, while
those from Indiana are By no means
encouraging. In the former State the
crop is in very promising condition, as
there is larger acreage and there is
an excellent prospect of good average
yield. Hay and cats are doing we'll in
all the States.
