WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID.

''Veni Vidi"-5ut here the Gazette
stops; the osTaer fellows conquered and
the rooster of the Gazette has the pip.
This paper made fight against the
present city administration, believing
that the present city officers were alto
gether too familiar and too 1enient with
she lower and lawless classes. Chief
Taylor and Police Judge Porter acknow-
lodged that they were not as they should
have been, but claimed they were under
the dominition of the council, which
commanded them to refrain from laying
a legal finger on gambling and kindred
vices. These gentlemen have proclaim ed
that should they be re elected, they, Ee
ing responsible to the people only, will
enforce the laws rigidly and imnedi-
ately. The people have evidently be-
lieved their statement, or rather some
of the decent people have, while
the gamblers and their ilk,
seemingly took it for granted that these
pledges were insincere campaign prom
ises, for the tinhorn variety lined up
solidly for the old administration.
The chief and police judge will now
have an opportunity to confound the
Gazette by enforcing the laws. The
Gazette hopes it will be confounded all
1t will aid these gentlemen all along the
way by calling attention to any abuses
or evils that these officers can correct.
This P-7er will not be asleep. 1t is
not fighting any class of business men,
Z but whatever laws there are governing
any business now carried on in Corvallis
must be enforced. MINORS; MUST BE
KEPT OUT OF THE SALOONS. GAMBLING
MUST CEASE. Migrants, pimps, fiends
and tinhorns must have no abiding place
in Corvallis.
The taxes that the people pay are
nothing more than the burden of
government Government is nothing
more than the making and enforcing of
laws. If the laws 4are not enforced,
taxation is simply robbery. The Amer
lean people love to be humbugged for
awhile, but they will not be imposed
upon too long The limit in Corvallis
has beeh reached.
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Porter, you were
elected to serve the people. You are as
much under official obligations to the
people who voted against you as to those
who voted for you. You can no longer
shift the responsibility upon the council
You have glorious opportunity of max
ing good, clean record. The Gazette
will not hesitate to commend your of
fetal 1apses. This paper is interested
in the eitys good. 1t has no personal
controversy with you. 1t simply asks
as officers, in the name of the people, to
do what has not been done for the past
two years-enforce the laws.

MEADE AND THE ADMINISTRA-
TION

Admiral Meade has resigned command
of his squadron. He has made~public
his reasons for so doing, and "speaks
right out in meetin." He loves America
and expresses himself thus: 1 am a re-
publican, and man who lives ON the
ocean is apt to imbibe patriotism and
loyalty 1 find these articles at dis
count with the present regime. l want
to be untrammeled, so that can think
and speak as like, and to that end 1
will doff the gold lace and don the habil-
iments of citizen, who, at least, has the
prerogative of standing up for his coun-
try's honor"
Admiral Meade's attitude viii be ap-
plauded by every loyal, true and patri-
otic American citizen. No intensely
patriotic American, as he is, can feel con
tainted under such all unAmerican ad-
ministration as the present one. Adrni-
raj Meade feels that Gresham is dis
grace to the Union. And he feels per
sonal disgrace at being at the beck and
call of navy department of state.
Gresharn's whole policy has been one of
apology to foreign powers. He is a
cringing, fawning creature without one
spark of love of country in his makeup.
What contrast he is to Blaine. 1t is
almost sin to even contrast this weak,
apo1ogetic politician, with the bold, the
manly, the American Blaine. Small
wonder it is that the fresh and hearty old
tar cannot stomach Gresham. The whole
country is heartily sick of the renegade
and are ready and anxious to spew him
out of his official position.
The first great need of this county is
Americans who are Americans; Ameri
cans who believe in America for Ameri
cans and America against the world.
We. have no use for politicians who prate
of patriotism to hoist some unworthies
into Office or to keep some personally
offensive, but deserving citizens, down.
toady to and crawl at the feet of Johnny
Bull. We want president and cabinet
who will realize that this is not a
government of the English, by the En-
plish nor for the English. but one of the
American people, by the American peo-
pie, and for the American people. Such
an administration we will have after 90,
and such an administration Admiral
Meade will serve faithfully with honor
and with credit.

HE SEEMS MUDDLRn.-

ED. GAZETTE in our paper, dated
May 10th, an article appeared, entitled, ga
Cheap John County," Now, sir. how you
can apply the term honestly is mystery to
a large number of the voters of old Ben.
ton. 1 claim w. S Huffori, J. Chambers
and Peter Richard are the employees of this
county, and such have right to obey
the demands of the voters of this county
so far rs their requests are in keeping wi
the law.
Now, sir, in regard to clerk hire, the law
does not say the county court shall pro. ide
clerks for .he several officers, but that they
may. To this end large number Of t! 9
responsible and respectable citizens of the
county by petition requested the servants Of
this county not to provide extra pay for
clerk hire in the different offices I will
agree with the GAZETTE when it says if tie
petitioners are right then the clerk hire
should have been dispensed with altogether
for one believe the petitioners were right,
and that the salaries paid to tie different
servants of this county is ample to perform
all the labor, and more, if the servants of
the county cannot labor for the amounts
prescribed, which are ample for all purposes,
they had better resign. as there are plenty
of competent ci liens in the county who
would be glad To bavo chance to show to
the GAZETTE that the salaries paid are far in
excess of equally arduous labor performed.
| do not want to be personal in this matter,
but could name those who have admitte d
when asked if they were overwnrked in
their office, said no, that scme days they
had little if anything to do.

SUPr. HOLM is constantly den1onstra-
ting to the people of Benton county that
he is the right man in the right place.
He is throwing all the activity he pos
sesses into the building up of the schools
of this county. Without expense to the
county he has issued pamphlet en-
titled, "The Patrons Friend" which is
full of useful and practical suggestions
to the. patrons and directors of public
schools. Copies have been generously
distributed among the farmers of Ben
ton county. 1t is Professor Holn's de-
sire that no family be without the pam
phlet. He is genuinely interested in
his work and is bringing up the schools
of the county to a state of efficiency

A Pllilomath correspondent writes con
cernlng the deputy question. He mis-
takes the issue The Gazette does not
pretend to say that the county officers are
lilly paid, and believes that in some in
stances the salaries are too high. But
there is TO hope now of reducing them
These salaries are fixed by act of the
Legislature and the legislature alone can
reduce or alter them.
There is no law compelling the county
officers to pay out Of their salary for dep
uty hire The county must pay the
salaries of deputies or dispense with
them.
Tle Gazette contends that deputies are
required for the Hcient management of
the Offices and believes that the county
court should pay fair salaries,
The officers will not pay for help out
of their salaries-at least most of them
will not-and they cannot be made to
do SO. They are under no obligation to
do so. Their salaries are theirs and they
are entitled to them, under the law.
Judge Hufford is the best paid officer
of the county, according to the service
performed. If Mr.. Mcdonald desires to
serve the county, why not commence
action to compel the county judge to
return to the treasurer, several sums
of money he has drawn as extras" and
to which he is not entitled?

A recent decision of our supreme
court thus lays down the law in regard
to determining iaud boundaries:
The rule that monuments will control
courses and distance only prevails, when
the boundaries are fixed ard known,
and unquestioned monuments exist.
When the boundary Is not fixed and
known and the location OF is
in dispute or left in doubt 10y the evil
dence, courses and distances will be
considered in fixing the boundary. Old
mounds, with pits and stakes having the
appearance OF government mounds may
be considered by the court or Jury in
determining whether or not they are the
original government mounds, but when
found at points distant from the points
indicated by the government field notes
by courses and distances they afford bu,
slight evidence that they are the orig
nal government mounds, unless the,
have existed for a long time and beer
generally recognized as the undisputee
government courses"
