says: County judges and commissioners

manner in which they pile up Indebtedness
on their counties in violation of the consti-
tuition which they have sworn to support.
The Oregon constitution provides that ''No

The delinquent tax list of Multno-
NAH county is larger this year than
ever before known The entire tax
roll amounts to $4,000, and Of this
amount $l6n.000 is found on the de-
linquent list, which last year was only
$4,000. This heavy delinquency is
attributable almost entirely to wild
cat real estate speculations and the in
stallment plan of disposing of the
same. Thousands of dollars, all in
small amounts, are thus due. and the
chances are will never be paid by the
present holders.-Welcome.

A veteran swindled.

The congressional committee, which
is now investigating the methods OF
the pension Office, will confer favor
upon Amos II. Nettleton by discover.
ing who has for thirteen years, with.
out proper invitation, been sharing
his meagre pension.
Mr.. Nettleton bravely served dur
ing the war of the rebellion, and dur.
ing the unpleasantness he received q
bullet in his lungs The leaden mis-.
sile did not agree with him, so in
1866 he demanded and was granted
a solacing pension of SO per month.
In December, 1871, the pension
was increased to SO per month; but
six years later, upon the recommen-
dation OF an ofiicious army surgeon
it was "razeed" to "a per month.
For over thirteen years Mr.. Nettle.
ton received this paltry monthly pit
lance. Recently he asked for an in.
crease, and he was promptly inform.
ed that his request would he refused
for the reason that he was drawing
IS per month.
Mr.. Nettleton has placed the mat.
ter in the hands of c. A. Clark, and
that gentleman will thoroughly inves.
tigate the matter.

HALsTEAD ON SILVER.

Murat Halstead, in discussing sill
yer ia the North American Review,
said "ln the eighty years before the
Recommendations of silver we had
coined eight millions of silver dollars;
in the eighteen years following this
frightful crime we coined four han.
dred millions Of silver dollars. When
half dollars we're unlimited lawful
money we coined ia that form eigh.
tv-two millions of dollars. In the
eighty years before the awful crime
OF the century, discrimination against
silver, was perpetrated, we coined
ninety millions of lawful money in all
amounts, in silver, and, in less than
one fourth that number Of years since,
we have coined more than four times
that sum OF the standard silver dol
lar. This is surely the most startling
form that hostility to a money metal
ever took"
Mr.. Halstead goes on to argue that
the old ratio OF 10 to is not now a
correct one and ought to be fixed at
about 18 to1. He would fix the ra-
ito in accordance with present prices,
with gold favored by law and coined
free and made the standard aud sill
yer deprecated by law and treated
as commodity. Such arguments
are made for no other purpose than
to mislead. Silver never depreciat-
cd until demonetized, and before IL
was demonetized was at premium
over gold at the ratio of 16 to l. Mr..
Halstead neglected to state that the
reason. that so little silver was coined
prior to 1873 was that European
countries had to have the white met
al, and in order to get it had to pay
more than 1929 per ounce, which
was its value at our mints for ooin-
age. With free coinage now at the
ratio of l6 to | silver would at once
be worth at least Sl29 outside of its
coinage. European countries would
he compelled to give more than its
coinage value in order to get it, and
they would pay for big portion o.
it in gold, yet the enemies Of silver
have the gall to hypocritically con
tend that the free coinage OF silver
would cause our gold to flow acros,
the waters. To fix a ratio in ac
cordance with the present prices o
the two metals, the one boosted b,
law and the other by law debased, il
so plainly unjust that any ono with
the slightest powers of comprehen
sion can plainly see the hypocrisy o
such proposition, or the idiocy tba
puts its forth. Halstead has neve
been accused Of idiocy, so we natu
rally assume that he is Transparent
hypocrite, and is posing as would b,
wiley deceiver and misleader Of tn,
less enlightened portion If our popu
lation. Well, Murat, you'll fall pref
ty fiat when it comes to that and ge
many spat that will be tit for tat
and make you think you're no Jumbo
as an artful deceiver, but more of
dodo, or perhaps you'll feel that
with your logic ~ knocked fat
you're no more than gnat. Thu
goldites will do well, for the cause o
silver, by trotting out few NOR,
anti-silver transparencies such as Hal
stead.

Her Day of Triumph Over.

A man or woman, considered abstract
~ as a man or woman, cuts very little
figure in this world 1t is what the man
or woman can do that counts, and it had
better be done while life is at its heyday,
for old age without money may meet
with disrespect. Nine .Judic furnishes
a case in point. The auction sale of all
her valuable jewels, pictures, tapestries
and Silverware brings OUT the fact that
this most popular prima donna of French
opera bouffe has lost her powers of at.
traction. Her inimitable diction re-
mains, but her voice, beauty and grace
have departed. Her figure has become
unwieldy because Of an excess of en-
bonpoint, while her arms are painfully
thin. 1t is some years since she has ap
peared on the Partisan stage.
