THE KEADY EULOGlSTS.

THE JOURNAL surmise as to who is
behind the fight on George Downing
and Governor Pennoyer was more than
verified by an article In last nights In
dependent. 1t plainly bears the ear
marks of crafty politician who is will
ing to strike down other men in order
that he may rise on the ruins but is too
cowardly to do it openly and fairly.
Such men never rise very high In the
estimation of the people. Their labors
for reform in politics are those of the
self-seeking demagog, not Of the patriot.
AS we intimated, it is fight for
Populist leadership. The Independ-
ent's defense of Speaker Ready is about
as big surprise as the people could ex-
pect. The would-be Populist leaders
of Salem helped elect him speaker.
OF course, they have to defend him.
Having made man speaker who was
at the head of the Union Pacific lobby
two years before, of course he put up a
committee on railways and transporta-
tion that permitted no railroad legisla-
ton. That is what he was put there
for. We are not required to defend
Mr.. Geer as speaker. He can take care
of that. AS speaker he put up rail-
way committee that prepared and
passed the Iowa commission law, and
smothered no bills. That is the differ
ence between Geer and Ready. The
record of the two men will bear inves-
tigati0a. The men who fought Geer
for speaker last winter quite naturally
champion Keady's record. That is the
kind of Populists they are who. want
to destroy Pennoyer and Upton and
rise upon the ruins.
The legislature fell entirely under the
control of the corporations In matters
Of railway regulation and control. 10
defeating Mr. Geer for speaker, no mat
ter how it was done, or whether he took
any codes, or took or did not take q
pocket knife, no railroad legislation was
possible with Mr.. Ready for speaker.
The old railroad commission had to be
defeated with Mr.. Geer, to undo his
work of the session before. And 1t has
been undOne. Railroad freights are
advanced at Salem on all classes, and
everybody is paying dearly for the
Ready speakership and control of the
legislature which the Independent
thinks was better than Mr.. Geer's.

uscious Fl nit and the Ashland peaches
are justly celebrated as the finest grown
in the state, but for agricultural lands
proper, Ashland is very limited.
The greatest result of this place and
that which is calculated to enhance the
value of Southern Oregon is the gold
now being dicoyered and taken from
the mountains.
Ashland can now be properly termed
a mining town. She has all the out
ward signs. Miners coming and going
carrying supplies, or tools to be sharp
ened or repaired, and occasionally one
claiming the whole sidewalk as a re-
suit of having mistaken his capacity
for the ooh be joyful" and samples OF
ore from the various ledges that are dis
played in shops and show windows are
unmistakable evidences of mining
supply town. Although no intense ex-
element prevails, mining is the abb
sorbing theme and street conversation
and In the hotel lobbies is given mostly
to the discussion of mining. Why,
even the ministers in their pulpit dis
courses draw their illustrations from
| facts about mining.
The amount Of capital invested In
these hills is evidence of the faith In
the auriferous quartz rocks that abound
In this section and several capitalists
are yet waiting 20 invest while their
experts are out investigating the pros
poets. There is yet but one mill In OPP
Grafton which Is fine Is stamp mill
located within the city limits. This
mill is supplied with ore hauled in wag-
ons distance of three miles. The ledge
from which the ore is taken appears to
be lnexhaustible. OF this ore the mill
is pounding out gold at the rate of
$4,000 to $1,000 worth per month.
Further back in the mountains several
claims, some of which are held at fabu.
lous prices, are being prospected by tun-
mel aud shaft aud will be- supplied with
mills soon as it can be determined thai
the leads are OF sufficient length.
1t has been fully demonstrated thai
gold mining pays in the mountains
around Ashland and capital is being
attracted at a rate that is developing
the industry sufficiently to warrant
the prediction that this city is soon tC
be quickened by the magic findings OF
gold and that It's hitherto quiet streets
are to be transformed into the bustlinl
hurrying scenes of mining city.

advertisements out in trade will be

now IS liver syrup that will make one

This kind of talk is idiotic. A
country editor a preacher who is al
ways talking poverty and pleading for
charity commands little respect and
less influence. The wise man who feels
his poverty will be stirred to higher re.

exertion and greater practices of econ

A minister in small country village
who was noted for his absentmindedness
was once observed to stop suddenly IN
the middle Of his sermon and heard 10
mutter:

After the service was over some one
asked him the reason.

FIVE STATES Aas OUT OF DEBT.
The MunicIpaiities Have. However. Piled
Up Great Burdens.

The munieipaiities have, However. Piled
Up Great Burdens.
Five states-Iowa, Vermont. Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Illinois-have no in
terest bearing debt. and there are six or
seven other states whose bonded dects
are mere bagatelles. Among the num-
Der are New Jersey, Nebraska, Ken
tucky and California. In a current news
paragraph. which contains the above in
formation, it is said that exclusive Of
the south the states Of the Union are
generally free from debt. and that the
annual interest charge Of al the states
collectively is less than that Of single
railroad-the Atchison. Topeka and San
ia Fe."
To foreigner or any one else not ia
rniliar with the facts this would convey
the impression that the Americans bear
an extremely light burden of debt. Such
an idea would be somewhat modified,
however. by the knowledge that the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe pays in
terest on $500, 900, coo or more, the annual
interest charge exceeding $4,000. 600
almost as much as the entire interest OF
the federal government.
II is true that the state debts outside
of the south are small. yet the aggregate
is far from being triie. The southern
states have a bonded Indebtedness Of
St44 .OOO. 600 in round numbers. The to-
| tai bonded Indebtedness of AL the states
in 1890 vas 1924, 900, 600, on which the
annual interest charge was $4,000. 900.
The total bonded debt of the states is
about one-third of the national interest
bearing debt.
The people Of this country would have
good reason to consider themselves espe-
cially blessed in the matter Of taxation
for interest ON public debts if they had
nothing more to pay than the interest
on the national and state bonded indebt-
edness. 1t is the local burdens that
weigh heavily upon their shoulders. and
although these debts may be less oner-
ous than those borne in other countries
they are not to be dismissed as matters
of no great Importance, as may be done
in the case of state debts.
The aggregate of county and munich
pal indebtedness in 1890 was about $685.
OOO, ,OOO-nearly $3.50, 100000 more than
the bonded debt Of the United States.
OF this vast amount $s46, ,000,0 900 was
upon municipalities and $144.OOO,00C
upon counties. 1t has been frequently
said that Ohio heads the list of the states
In the amount of local Indebtedness,
The census figures Of 1890 do not con-
: firm this assertion. The county and
municipal indebtedness of Ohio in the
census year was little more than $685.
OOO, 900, of which $50, ,000, 900 rested upon
municipalities. Pennsylvania had $91,'
600. 900 of local debts, Massachusetts
500, ZOO, 900 and New York $244, ,0OO, 900.
If the local bonded Indebtedness of the
various states was disappearing as rapid
Iy as in the debt of the United States
! there would be ample cause for congratu
lation. But it has been fast increasing

melted an Australian TO work out a
scheme for generating steam by this

water has running through it from top

THE DOUBLE TRACKS
at Forty-third Street May be the
Cause of Considerable
TROUBLE THERE IN A FEW DAYS.
Tho Thirty Days Limit for Tearing
Up the Obnoxious Tracks Expires
To.morrow-whNt will Result from
the Failure of tho Company Tear
ing Up the Tracks.

The matter of the removal OF the
Wheeling Railway Company's double
track or switch on Jacob street from
Forty.third to Forty.fOur!h streets,
South Side, is likely to prove a source OF
trouble before many moons. twill be
remembered that the late City Council,
at its last meeting, held on the evening
OF January %, in pursuance OF the JOINT
recommendations of the committees on
streets, alleys and grades, and railways,
ordered the Board OF Public Works to
request the railway company 10 take up
the switch or double track in contro'
versy, within the ensuing thirty days,
and ii not done, then the board was to
take further action.
The Wheeling Railway Company has
up to the present time done nothing
looking toward complying with tho re-
quest OF the board, and people who
know something about the controversy
say the company will not take any &C.
ton now.
Judge Jacob, who is counsel and pres
ident OF the company, stated its posi-.
ton at the joint meeting OF the Council
committees, and said among other
things that he doubted the power OF
Council to act in the matter, and that
even ii Council did take the proposed
action it would not take up the rails.
General Manager jolly was seen last
night, and said his company considered
it had certain rights in the matter
which Council couldn't take from them.
"What action do you intend taking
in regard to the action of Council in or.
dering up the double track or switch2"
II don't think we will take any
action"
When asked further, he said Il neces-
sary the matter would be submitted to
the courts to adjust. ',1a7 '.'-'.'i''
The South Siders along the obnoxious
track arc very emphatic, and some OF
them say ii the Board OF Public Works
does not take up the tracks at the ex-
.piration OF the thirty days limit, they
themselves would do it. Any such
action on the part oil the cltlzenS might
make trouble, and the advice OF cool
heads may prevail and the matter be left
TO the decision Of the proper authori-
ties. There is, however, great preju-
dice against the railway company on
the South Side, 80 there may possibly
be scenes of violence, if the track re-
mains after the expiration OF the thirty
day limit.
The matter is complicated somewhat
by the present Council situation. Or
dinarily the Board OF Public Works
selected by the last council would now
be a thing of the past, and the new
board in, blu. as the board selected by
the new council has not been sworn in
yet, it OF course can do nothing. On the
other hand. a member OF the old board
when seen yesterday, said his term OF
Office had expired, and he had nothing
more to do with the matter. Now il
the Board OF Public Works is to pro-
coed and tear up the tracks after the
expiration OF the limit, who will be the
board?
