The school meeting to again locate
the school house site convened on Mon
day Of last week.
A general discussion was held, and a
vote by ballot decided to locate the
school house where it is at present, be-
ing built.
Amid tine silence that followed the
vote, the chairman left bis seat, and
walked to the center of the room, threw
bis head back, raised one arm, opened
his mouth and In laundering tones
said: "Mr. President, move that
those contractors be ordered to tear up
the foundation and throw 1t out of the
trenches, and then build the wall oYer
again, and that a person be appointed
to stand over them with club to COM

tion was carried with rush, and Mr..
fucker was appointed as champion Of
the club.
Different opinions exist as to this
foundation, majority believe that it is
not built strong enough to support q
large two story school house and that 1t
should be rebuilt, others contend that

THB STATE MONEY.
A Test Case Should Be made
at Once.
10 SECURE TAXES DUB TlE STATE
Simple Manner In Which Public
Funds Could Be Made
Safe.
THB STATE MONEY.

One newspaper against halfmillioD
of money 10 the hands Of corrupt coun-
ty officials and rotten banks is note
very hopeful contest. But whether
Others zee 1t that way or not, it is the
case Of all the taxpayers against that
combinations of defaulters and law
breakers.
What is the law as to public taxes:
The sheriff OF each county shall turn
over to the county treasurer each week
all the taxes collected by him. The
county treasurer shall pay to the statt
treasurer out of the first monies re-
ceived by him the taxes due the state.
Has that been done? No. Half a
dozen counties have paid their state
tax. A score or more are defaulters to
the state in total sum Of half million.
Multnomah alone owes $4,000 stat
tar for 1892, and large sum for 1891,
on judgment in the supreme court.
The state treasurer has no power to
enforce payment except by suit and no
penalty attaches for Withholding the
public funds.
What can be done? A suit should
be begun at once in the circuit court OF
some county on the bond Of some coun-
ty sheriff or county treasurer to test the
question whether a plain statute has
any binding force in this state. Fit
has not, let law be enacted that will
stop the lodgment of the public taxes
In the hands Of private manipulators.
This state will never secure reform In
Its finances until tax collectors can be
forced to account for the peoples con-
tributIons.
A general law should be passed re-
quiring public officials who have charge
ofpublic money TO deposit 1t In no bank
except on legal limit OF ten per cent
fits capital. II bank has $500, ,OOt
capital 1t could hold $4,000 OF public
money on deposit at once aud no more,
and that should only be held on proper
bonds being given by parties other than
the bank officials.
That would stop the sheriff and treas
urer at Portland conducting rival banks
with public taxes, and putting hun.
dreds OF thousands Of the peoples
money into bank regardless of Its
standing or credit A law like that
would force the distribution of public
funds among the different banks 30
that the state could never be In the hu.
initiating attitude of having all its
money tied up In the suspended banks,
while the sound banks do not hold any
Of the unremltted taxes.

BARCELONA, Sept 25. - An anarchist
tried to kill Captain General Marines de
Campos with a bomb here. There had
been review Of all the troops In this dis
trict early In the morning. Shortly be-
fore noon the general and his staff took
their place on one side OF the large square,
and the march past began. A large crowd
had gathered near the officers but, as nc
trouble was thought probable while the
military filled the streets, only four gens
d'armes were at hand To preserve order.
The head Of the column had hardly
passed the captain general when a bomt
was thrown from the crowd. IL struck
near the captain general and exploded
with tremendous force. A soldier Of tn,
civic guard was killed and Ave others wer,
wounded and will die.
Martinez de Campos was thrown to the
ground by the shock. He was picked uT
by officers of the staff and carried to bis
house. Aside from a wound in his arm
and a few bruises, he was found to be un
injured.

that a defeat by Smith, following 50
closely after his experience with Billy

VAN ALIEN.

We beg leave to inform our contempor-
aries that the reason why we have not re-
ferred to the above named gentleman ~
that we had thought that we had sum
ciently drubbed Honey Of Newport for bis
scheming dupli9ity But now that all OF
the Democratic papers OF the country are
denouncing him as noodle whose father
died rich, we must say word for him.
Van Alien, strange as II may appear Is
Rhode Island voter. This discovery was
made by Honey OF Newport, whose busi-
ness In life is to "strike" rich men for
personal and political selfish ends.
Mr.. V. Alien was a good bleeder, and
Honey and others have had him appointed
Minister to Italy.
He isn't fit to be a notary public in the
land Office at WASHINGTON and Honey
knows 1t. He belongs to the red heel
Democracy. which Honey courts and
bends the supple knee. lie is no more
representative OF the Democracy OF this
State than Beau Brummel, or Ward Nc
Allister. He knows more about horses
and dogs than books or craftsmanship.
He can pick out the latest style OF clothes
worn by the Prince OF Wales quicker than
he could tell US the capital Of Russia. lie
knows as much about Rhode Island as he
does OF the United States and the duties
of his office.
This man has been appointed to very
important place at the suggestion OF
Honey OF Newport. The President and
Secretary Gresham have been deceived by
this man. They see hat Honey has done
1t. They should undo 1t.
The fact Is that Van Alien is a rich New
York man who belongs to London and
lives there most of the time, but claims
a voting residence In Newpt re because he
sometimes comes there in the summer.
He doesn't know the difference between
the Democratic and Republican issues and
he don't care. He would contribute as
freely to one party as the other for such
an office.
We hope that his appointment will be
recalled.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 25-Two people
were killed and six seriously injured by
an explosion which took place on the side

have been an explosion OF dynamite per
petrated by union sailors, three of whom
were arrested on suspicion.
The scene after the explosion was ap-

face blown off, another both legs, and all
clothing and covered with blood, smoke
and cinders
Even the fremeI In the engine house
next door were dauntel ! at the sight and
waited for the patrol wagon, while the
wounded men, with shattered limbs and
torn faces, screamed and writhed In their
agony on the bloody ground.
Shortly after the bodies had been re-
moved from the scene Of the explosion,
three union sailors. John Tyrell, James
Woods and Terrence Tracey, were ar

GERMANY.

Another endeavor Is being made..to re-
concile Prince Bismarck and the German
Emperor. What the result will be no
man can tell. SO many have been made
OF recent years that have proved abortive
that II we are to judge the present by the
past this last move will be no more suc-
cessful that its predecessors.
There is much fault to be found on bot
sides. The German military jumping.
jack is Emperor and of course must have
proper dignity paid to him, and as he is
erratic, pompous, peculiarly opinionated
and overfowing with conceit, 1t is no
wonder the gruff old Chancellor couldn't
get on with him.
II William was left to himself
there would be no reconciliation. On
the other hand, there are many, as the
Emperor ought to be, in fact the nation,
who look upon Bismarck as the last living
link that binds them to the past. They
remember him for what he was, for what
he accomplished as the adviser OF the
Emperor william, as the solidifer OF the
empire, for bringing Germany to the very
pinnacle of power rs one Of the foremost
nations of the world. There were many
who protested against his methods but
they are justified in the light OF what he
accomplished.
He Is still power In the land and the
government knows II. II he was forgot
ten, why do deputations visit him yearly7
Why do his listeners hang on his every
wordi He is proud Of the past for his
value cannot be forgotten as 1t is inter-
woven with some of the most momentous
events in German history. He is jealous
of 1t, and he kicks against Fate that has
stripped him OF his old power and useful.
ness.
We may hate and desplse him oyer here
In this free land, but we must admit that
he is one man OF the present era Of Ger
man national life. The Germans revere
him and want n reconciliation with the
Emperor. II would be a good thing II
such could happen.
Bismarck is born fighter, and with him
out of the field the government would
have plain sailing.
