THE REPORT OF THE GRAND
JURY.

The grand jury, which was discharged
last Saturday, calls attention to one mat
ter which should not be longer over
looked, namely, the careful examination
of the books of the county officers. For
many years no one has given any
thought or attention to the books of the
officers of the county, further than the
cursory examination made by each
grand jury, until within a short time,
when by accident it was found that a
considerable number of county warrants,
aggregating over 1890, have been placed
in circulation. We have had in some
of the county offices in years past some
men who have not given the closest at
tention to the details of their offices, and
however honest they may have been,
there is no certainty that at all times the
county has received all the monies to
which it is entitled. The duties of the
county court are many, and it cannot
often devote to these details the atten-
tion they deserve.
We hope the suggestions of the grand
jury will be followed.

A very pretty wedding occurred in
Portland at 534, Morrison street, June
LIST, the contracting parties being Miss
Ida G. Fritz of The Dalles, Or, and Mr..
Jno. G. Fleschhutz of Portland, who
were united in the bonds OF matrimony
by Rev. B. Orth Of st. Lawrence church.
The bridal couple took position under
beautiful floral wedding bell of white
carnations and pink rosebuds. They
were attended by Miss Margaret Kelly
of Portland and Mr.. Chas. Fritz, a
brother of the bride.
The bride, eowned in pearl grey and
lace, wearing handsome white hat,
and carrying bridal roses, was a picture
Of loveliness. The bridesmaid was at

How our schools Have crown.

Prof. Gavin has made table showing
a comparisons of the number of students
in our schools for the past three years.
The statement is very encouraging, as it
shows an increase every year. No other
evidence is needed that The Dalles is
growing at healthy rate and that even
in the hardest times the country has
known there has been steady increase
in population. Following is the report ::

to acknowledge his guilt of crime. and

IN him something worth saving. he

the natural aud just consequences of q

tietic, and reflected great credit on the
decorator.
Dainty refreshments were serveds
after which, at late hour, the guests
departed, wishing the young couple long
life and prosperity. Only the family
and few intimate friends were present.
Huntington and Wilson and A. s.
Bennett, who are the attorneys for Otis
Savage, in the famous Pacific Express
robbery case, have prepared their brief
in the appeal to the supreme court. It
comprises thirty-seven pages of matter
and alleges eleven causes of error in the
circuit court. The testimony of Jackson
as to plan to hold up the train is one
of the portions objected to while the
verdict is attacked in that it returned a
judgment for crime greater than the
one charged. The attorneys for the
state have until August 3rd to prepare
their brief and it is likely the matter
will not be decided until late in the fall
and it is doubtful if it be that soon.

The Smith portage railway law is pro-
nounced Unconstitutional by lawyers
who have examined it carefully, and
there is no prospect of its ever. becoming
operative. That was the reason the law
was permitted to pass; had there been
any question as to its validity, the rail-
road company would have seen to it
that it died before it was born. AS it

The verdict in the Malonay case was
anticipated by those who watched the
case carefully. If the testimony pre-
scented on the para of the defense is true,
there was chance for the jury to find a
reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the
defendants. There is wide difference
in opinion as to the correctness of the
verdict, but the public should bear in
mind that the jury heard all the testi-
mony and were better qualified to pass
upon it than they who have heard the
testimony only in part, and that second
hand.

Business men who fail to collect, fail
to pay and ultimately fail to do business
at all. For many years there has been
practically no effort to enforce the pay
ment of taxes in this county, and until
recently no effort to collect what could
be collected by demand. At the same
time the Indebtedness of the county has
been on the increase; it would be re-
markable had the result been otherwise.
Greater determination in the collection
of taxes would reduce the weight of tax
alton and be only justice to those who
pay their taxes promptly and regularly.

Forest Fires.

KANE, Pa, June 4.-Never before
has this place been threatened with so
much destruction as at present. The
forests have been on fire since Saturday
and all efforts TO check the flames have
been unavailing. The fire has spread
to West Kane, the heat being 30 in
tense that the fighters were driven back
and the people commenced to desert
their houses for places of safety. Every
spring is dried up, and the place is st
the mercy of the flames. The fire IS
now raging in the oil fields and hes
burned the oil we'll rigs owned by the
Griffith Company. The Union Oil Com
pany has lost six rigs and three tanks
of oil A sawmill and over 1000, 900
feet of logs nave been destroyed. Five
men are reported to have persisted at
Coon Run. The fire there is raging

AN ARCHBISHOP DEPosED.

A cablegram announcing Archbishop
Kenrick's deposition and the appoint
ment of Most Rev. John ]. Kahn, Arch
bishop of Oxyrinchus, ''in partirus in
fidelum," as the new archbishop of st.
Louis, was publicly read during solemn
Pentecost services at the st. Louis Ca.
thedral Sunday morning, by Vicar
General Muehlsieren. The cablegram
was signed by Cardinal Project Lee
gochowski, of the Congregation of the
Propaganda, and stated that the action
had been taken at meeting held on
May 81. The effect of the decision was
to effectually retire Archbishop Ken
rick from all rights, titles and privi-
leges of or obtaining to the archbish-
opric of st. Louis. Under supplement-
airy instructions expected from the
Propaganda, an order will come to
provide a fitting annuity for him out of
the resources of the archdiocese. Arch
bishop Kenrick was in no sense pro-
vincial. His attitude at the council
which declared the dogmas of papal
AVAILABILITY and the immaculate con-
ception gained him worldwide repu-
tation, and involved him in COZ
troversies with the greatest theolo-
gians within and without his church.
The deposition or retirement of the
Archbishop is the result of a petition to
the Propaganda, setting forth his men,
tai incapacity and the dangerous con-
dition of the business affairs of the
diocese. Archbishop Kenrick's men
tai infirmity displayed itself in the
form of violent opposition to his
coadjutor, whom he regarded as an in
terloper. He refused at times to eat
at the same table or sit in the same
room with him. He was persistent in
his refusal to transact any business
matters suggested to him by his as
sistant. The situation was intolerable
from business standpoint, and Arch
bishop Kahn was forced to appeal for
help to Rome.

sheriff of the county has asked Maj. Simons,
the military officer in charge of the place, to
cease reducing force and some of the men who

Tue indications are that the strike leaders
knowing that the force has been reduced,

do not hesitate to say that it was necessary to
stop the Virginia mines in order to accom-

termined to do it. In the opinion of we'll

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 4. 1895,

ONEoF THE Washington newspapers
that deponunce one of the race tracks
in Alexandria county, but not the oth-
cr whose advertisement they publish
row announces its intention Of publish
ioc the names of the individuals in
Washington who lend money to those
whose credit is not good enough to en-
able them to borrow from the banks.
That it gives these "Shylocks," as it
calls them, warning of its intention, is
suggestive, to say the least. But why
should it select them from more assail-
able objects of attack They don't 90
on the streets, seize the impecunious by
the hair, drag them into their offices
and compel them to borrow their
money. On the contrary, the borrow
ers seek them, and beg them to lend
them money, profiering higher than
The current rate of interest in conse-
o,Ience of the risk, and, if their request
he granted, expressing profound thanks
for the money which no body else
would have lent them, and which, in
many cases, helps them out of serious
trouble. But there are now, and al
ways have been, more borrowers than
lenders, and therefore now, as in the
olden times, upjustifiable attacks upon
the latter are nearly always condoned,
and often approved.
