THE populistic apostle of Jobs addi-
uon scolds the GAZETTE through the co.,
umns of the Times, for refusing to pub
lish letter that is part of his commu-
nication to the latter paper. And therein
he condemns himself. Our principal
defense against the accusation of unfair
ness is: It is conglomeration of populis-
tic hobbies. If our populist friends wish
to air their hobbies let them run paper
of their own. If they can get some good
democratic brother to stand in, all we'll
and good, but they must not expect a
republican paper to lower the tone of its
columns by publishing their several va
porings on their many vagaries. Brother
Hoffman imagines he has call to the
Journalistic field The GAZETTE does
not wish to dissuade him; misery loves
company" But he must pardon us if we
fail to believe he has discovered sure
cure for our national political evils.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

Those taxpayers who have been SO anxious
for the entire abolishment of deputy hire for
county officials should read the below report
1t shows that they have given the matter
careful thou ght, and as each juryman is a
taxpayer, their conclusions as set forth i'll
the report are worthy of thoughtful consid.
GRAFTON:
In the circuit court of the state of Oregon,
for Benton county, April 1895 term.
To the Hon. j. c, Fullerton, judge of the
above entitled court:
The grand jury having completed their
labors for tho term, beg respectfully to SUBJ
mt the following report: We have been
in session six days, during which time we
returned five ''true bills" of Indictment,
and two ''not true bills" of Indictment. We
have visited the offices of the various county
officers and find the books and papers neatly
and accurately kept The jail is in a health.
full condition and the prisoners properly
cared for. The county treasurer, clerk,
sheriff and recorder have submitted to us
written statements of the expense at their
various offices, which, with our personal
examination of their offices, convinces us
that the present allowance by the County
court for deputies is a necessary and eco
nomical allowance, with the exception that
we consider seventy dollars per month for
deputy county clerk in excess of present cur
rent wages We have been careful in our
examination of such fees to deputy officers
by reason of requests made upon us to do SO
by certain taxpayers of the county. We
would urge upon justices of the peace to be
more careful in preliminary examinations,
and to only bind over such persons as the
evidence will warrant conviction. We con.
slider the business of this term of court has
been conducted with all promptness, and
we appreciate the courtesies extended to us
by your honor. All the officials including
the district attorney have rendered, us assis-
tance in expediting the business before US,
and now having fully completed the business
before us, we respectfully ask that we be
discharged.

THE state papers are lashing Governor
Pennoyer, because of the twenty-five
pardons he made just prior to Governor
Lords inaugural. They were rather
combinations than pardons, and are to
take effect during Gov. Lords admins
tration. From Pennoyer's point of view
he has acted perfectly proper and right.
To his mind he possesses all the judicial
as we'll as the administrative brains in
the state of Oregon. This is a trust
created by the Giver of all good and per-
feet things. 1t is not Governor Penney
er's fault if others fail in the proper con-
ception of all that is right and just in the
Furnishing of criminals and in other
things pertaining to the welfare of our
state. His genuine philanthropy and
patriotism, combined with his wise fore
thought, has made power in the par
doning business even after the people
had placed another man in the executive
chair.

even in bad times and under depressed
conditions, for 100000. Examination
of the very numerous cases which have
come before the courts during the past
ten or fifteen years has failed to find one
distantly resembling this. The anxiety
of the conrt to protect its creditors should
have been further stimulated by the con-
sideration that the security of these lend
ers depended solely on its action. If the
court fails the certificate holder, and the
sale being in other respects legally made,
is confirmed, without provision for him
in one forrn or another, the balance of
authority appears to leave him without
remedy For in such case he is bound
by the decree.
"It must be admitted that every pre-
sumption in law and equity is against the
confirmation of sale for $Ioo,ooo, by
the court, of property on which $4,000,
ooo, of first mortgage bonds had been
issued, and which one of the hostile ex-
perts valued at not less than $4,000, 900,
two years ago. and on which property
the court itself has sanctioned an indebt.
edness of over $500, 700, on receivers GER
ti6cates, with interest and probably
$500, 900, for labor and material claims
A former receiver, E w. Hadley, esti-
mated the cost of replacing the property
as it stood in October, 1898, at 5000, 900
Can the confirmation of the sale be held
to be within the limits of sound, judi
cial discretion?
''It is submitted that the books may be
searched in vain to fnd-not parallel
but an instance of "inadequacy of price
even distantly resembling that now be.
fore the court.
''It is not disputed that it is the duty o.
the court to cause the sale and realization
of the assets of the defendant corpora
tions at as early a day as is consistent
; with the predominant duty of the court
to protect its creditors The first requis
ite to legal and successful sale is tc
return at once within the limits of the
decree of April, 1891"

THE editorial..i in last weeks GAZETTE
concerning county management was un-
fortunately SO worded as to leave the i'm
preston with some that the descriptions
of property in Mr. Alexander's rolls were
vey such an impression. So far as we
have been able to learn the clerical work
in the rolls 1884 is very accurate and
complete. The sale of the property
appearing thereon, for taxes would not
be hindered for want of proper descrip-
tions. We referred to the rolls made
prior to his ineumbency from which were
eliminated some $4,000, mostly on ac-
count of defective descriptions.

THE city taxpayers are going to take a
decided interest in the coming city cleo
ton. Four councilmer are to be elected
besides the mayor, police judge, chief of
police and treasurer. Within a few
months the council will probably have to
enter into contract for city water that
will be binding upon the city for a great
many years. We must elect sagacious,
wide-awake men as councilmen, who will
see that the city secures just and bene-
fetal contract

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
AS mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole

except on prescriptions from reputable phys

them. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured

IT Wont Work

On Dec. %, the Herald had the
following 10 say about Hon. John Henry
Smith:
The witnesses were up from Sanpcte
county in force, but It would appear
they had not been properly coached I;
in fact, good many Of them we're at
loss TO know what they had been
subpenaed. However, John Henry
Smith took them in hand, that lie az
many OF THIN as he could get hold Of,
and attempted to instruct them in what
was expected Of them by him as an
apostle Of the church. John Henry
is good man, without doubt, but he
has QUE weakness; he will exercise his
church influence in politics whenever
he gets half chance, and he was get
ting in his wo X in great shape yee.
tcrday. at least he thought he was.
Not all OF those he attempted to lecture
and whip iato line took his advice
kindly, and lie was in several instances
emphatically advised TO mind his own
business, rs it was generally understood
that he was counted out in the third
precinct in Salt Lake city and had
no excuse for offering his churchly
advice to the gentlemen from sanpete,
whatever he might do in the Third
precinct.
Dec. 20, John Henry replied as fol-
lows in the Tribune:
