Many people lose sight of one of the
most important elements of the present
financial strife which the national
treasury is in, says the Eugene City
Register 1t is not altogether due to
any fault in the monetary laws of the
country; and the Republicans all over
the nation are near right when they
attribute the trouble to the change in
the tariff laws os the country. The
tariff on imports has been reduced to
a great extent, but not ct 10 much as
was promised by the party in power.
But the reduction has worked hard
ship In two ways. In the FIRST place
the reduction itself would naturally
enough depreeiate the revenues; and
in the second place the prospect of fur
ther changes made it advisable for i'm
porters to import heavily, for the fear
that the duties would be lowered still
more. Besides being factor in crea-
ting the deficiency, the change in the
tariff laws has worked hardship upon
the manufacturers OF our country and
the mem and women who depend upon
them for employment. 1t will take
another Repu ublican congress and ad-
ninistratlon to bring everything back
to the firm foundation which the busl-
ness of the country has been shaken
from 30 rudely.

Hayward Murder Trial.

courtroom today shortly after the Hay
ward murder trial opened. Blixt, the
self confessed murderer, was still on the
stand and Erwin began today's cam mpaigp
10y charging directly that the witness had
doctored his confession given yesterday to
suit public clamor. The state objected to
this manner of cross examination, and
the court susta u. d the Objection. Erwin
then asked Bixt how be accoupted for
the discrepancy between the two state.
ments he made as to Hsrry's giving him
whisky. BiIxt wanted to go into explap
alton ofthIs after his own ideas, but
e win insisted on direct answer.
Again Bixt tried to hedge. answering be
was In no condltlon at the time of hir
original confession to remember the
details accurately. "Anv man IN the
condition l was in" said Bixt, would
not be likely to know whether the time
Hayward brought the whisky Was 8
O'clock or 7 80"
Hayward aughed aloud, and looked
tquarely at B ixt the while. The face of
the murderer turned lIvid, his voice trem
bled, and be half arose from the witness
chair.

thing, tell you." He was pointing one
shaking hand straight at Hayward and
MS lips trembled as be gasprd: Yes.

Hayward, with bis chin resting on his
hand, bis white teeth showing as his lips
parted in broad grin, bad epraged the
witness beyond endurance. Bixt Was
called down by the court, and the cross
examination went on. There was an i'm

the treasury of the state, it was ex-
pected, would be stopped. But the
expectation has not been realized, and
instead of reduction the number of
clerks has been increased. There we're
useless commissions which have been
adding thousands of dollars to the bur
den OF ts xation every year, and there
was an urgent demand that these be
abolished. Nothing has been done in
this regard, and the wishes Of the peo
pie have been trampled under foot by
those whom they elected to represent
them. OF course bills have been pre-
sented to rid the state of these para
sites on its treasury; but the deadlock
on the senatorial question, originated
and supported by the Populists of the
state IN their wild craze for free silver,
has blocked the wheels of legislation,
and valuable time to the taxpayers is
passing without anything being done.
The legislature has y Republican
members, and the opposition only ls
in both branches. They were elected
by the largest majority ever given to
ticket in the history of the state,
and they will be held responsible for
everything done and anything left un-
done. This is right, and every legis-
lator should realize the responsibility
that rests upon him. 1t is not the
time at this session to deadlock the
legislature because the majority are
not willing to prove unfaithful to their
constituents and to :he best interests
OF the state and nation by supporting
candidate in favor of unlimited
coinage. Every Republican member
should consider himself in duty bound
to redeem the promises made by the
party in the canvass last June, so that
it might have fair standing with cit
izens in future campaigns. But from
present indications the party will tight
lts battles hereafter handicapped by
the per6dy of Republicans in the leg
islature of 1896. 1t is almost impos-
sible at this late date to redeem the
promises made regarding economy.and
the overwhelming victory of last June
may be the cause of defeats In the
future.

TIE NEW CHARTER.

The amendments to the charter, 81
proposed by the com mittee appointed
for that purpose, makes several impor
tant changes in the law as it now
exists. Under the old charter the city
recorder and marshal were elected by
the people, but the new one makes
these appointed officers by the mayor,
with the consent of the council. This
will have the effect to make the mayor
ality and city councilmen Offices OF
greater Importance than they are now.
Citizens and tax payers must exercise
great care in casting their ballots, and
if this is done there can be no objection
to the innovation.
As regards bonding the city indebt-
edness this will lower the rate Of in
terest 2 per cent per annum, and will
raise warrants to par. But interest
must be paid semi-snnually, and at
present warrants run for three or four
years.
The creation of two more wards will
increase the council to nine members
instead of six, as it is now. By this
means all portions of the city will be
more fully represented than they are
now, and the number insures a msjor-
ity on all questions when all members
vote.
The committee unquestionably con-
sidered economy in their recomnenda-
tions, and this is very important.
Our city finances are in bad shape,
and it requires careful management
and retreLchnent in departments to
keep the expenses within the limit of
the receipts. A healthy state Of
finances is necessary for proper growth,
and our city cannot expect continued
prosperity until the balance sheet lie in
its favor.

AAKE THE TEST.

The proposition made by Speaker
Moores to Hon. E. Hefer, of Salem,
for canvas of the Republican voters
of Marion county to ascertain their
preference for senator would be good
plan to be followed throughout the
state, if the boilers would be willing
to abide by the decision of the major
ity. But, it must be understood, that
the opinions of Democrats and Popu-
lists are not wanted, for this is con-
test within the party ranks for the
election of a Republican United States
senator. In Eastern Oregon we are
assured that Mr.. Dolph would be the
choice of large majority of Republr-
ems, Tor they SO signi6e3 their choice
last June. and it would be the same re-
suit in the other portions of the state.
But we doubt If this would have the
desired effect to stop the filibusterir g
of the opposition, for they appear de-
termined to block legistations and
defeat the wishes of their constituents.
There will be time enough to have
this matter decided by the people be-
fore the silverltes in Salem can realize
the fact that they are making them
selves the subjects of the severest een-
sure, and are running the prospects of
the party-to which they pretend to be
allied-in future elections. Of course
Democrats and Populists, ,hopeto see the
Republican party shorn of its strength,
so tha. they may have an opportunity
q; the "publ,c crib" hereafter, and
they know the course the boilers are
pursuing is certain to accomplish this
end. For this reason there is not
Democratic or Populist paper in the
state that is not doing everything pos
sible to encourage the bolters to keep
up the fight, and not to yield to the |
majority in any emergency. Every |
day that the deadlock continues
strengthens their hopes. and they are
already looking forward TO 1896, ex-
oecting that the Republican party, by
'eason of fractional feuds, will not be
.blei to elect a single candidate on the
tate or congressional tickets. These
re the tactics OF political minorltes,
nd harmony and party fealty are
ecessary to defeat them.

A PROPOSED REMEDY.

The article which we publish in an
other column from an advocate of the
single-tax theory indicates that the
writer does not fully comprehend the
Chinese question as applied to the Pa
ci6c coast. There is no portion of the
region west of the Rocky mountains
that would not be benefited by an in
crease of population; but these should
be producers. and capable Of assimiIat-
ing with American institutions. For
such there is plenty of room in every
state in the north west, and especially
in Oregon. The Chinese do not pos
sess all these elements. They are in
dustrious, but they do not become
Americans in any sense of the word,
and are unfair competitors in the labor
market. If there was any method to
prevent "the holding of land out of
use" which will remedy this evil, and
make even Cinnamon desirable acces-
sions to our population, we are frank
to confess We do not understand it,
At the price of productions under the
present Democratic free.trade admin
lstration if every acre were made to
Vleld a harvest the income would he |
very meagre, and would be far from

ept he is large landowner. But,
