within my sphere of duty,
preserve the constitution by
Loyalty protecting every
grant of federal power it con
tains, by defending all it's

EVILS OF PATERNALIsM.
Closing related to tneexag-

tend to disregard the rules of
the national safety, another
danger confronts us not less
serious. Irefer to the preva-
lence Of popular disposition
to expect from the operation
OF the Government especial

tages. The verdict ofOur yO

Justice of maintaining protec

joins upon the peoples serv-
ants the duty ofexposing and

wholesome progeny OF pater-

republican institutions and
the constant peril of our Gov

grades to purposes of willy

fathers established and be-
queathed to us as an object

IT perverts the patriotic SEN

| TARIFF REFORM.
The people OF the United
States have decreel that on
this day the control of their
Goverumentin it's Legislative
and Executive branches shall
be given to thatpolitical par
ty pledged in the most posi-
tive terms to the accomplish
ment Of tariff reform. They
have thus determined in fa..
vor of a more just and equi-
table system of federal taxa
ton. The agents they have
chosen to carry out their pur
pose are bound by their prom
ises, not less than by the
command Of their masters,
to devote themselves unre.
inittingly to this service.
While there should be no sur
render of principle, our task
must be undertaken wisely
and without vindictiveness.
Our mission is not punish
ment, but rectification of
wrongs. If, in lifting burdens
from the daily life of our peo-
pie, we reduce inordina te and
unequal advantages too long
enjoyed, this is but a necessa
ry incident of our return to
right and justice. II we exact
from unwilling minds acquI-

treasured up for all, we but
insist upon the principle
which underlies ourfree insti-
tutions. When we tear aside

zens, and contempt of our
people for economy and fru-
gality in their personal af-
fairs deplorably saps t h e
strength and sturdiness Of
our national character. 1t
is a plain dictate of honesty
and good government that
public expenditures should be
limited by the rules of strict
economy, and it is equally
clear that frugality among
the people is the best guaran
tee of the contented, strong
support of free institutions.
One mode of misappropria-
tion of public funds is avoid.

fitness and competency of ap
pOintees to Office and to re-
move from political action
the democra tizing madness
for spoils, the civil service re-
form has found a place in our
public policy and laws. The
benefit already gained by
this instrumentality and the
further usefulness it prom
ises entities it to the hearty
support and encouragement
of all who desire to see our
public service we'll performed

AFTER THE RosLYN ROBBERS.

Baker city. Or, April S.-There was
a ripple OF excitement in the city this
afternoon occasioned by the arrival Of
Deputy Sheriff Banks. and Detectives
Francis and Fairly of Washington. They
we're after Tom, George. and William
McCarty, suspected Of being the Roslyn
Bank robbers.
The Washington officers called to
their assistance Sheriff Condee and
Deputies Francis and Kennyson who
started for Haines, twelve miles from
this city. where William McCarty and
family reside. Upon knocking at the
door, the sheriff was covered with a
winchester in the hands Of William,
and the Sheriff was relieved Of his rifle.
The men then escaped. Deputies Ken
neyson and Farley found George Nc
Carthy and experienced no trouble In
effecting his arrest and conveyed him
to the city. The Washington officers are
of the opinion that Tom Mccarthy Is
the individual who robbed the Denver
bank Of $4,000 about two years ago. A
posse is in hot pursuit Of William and
Tom and their capture is probable.
