lies of Cuba, heiress to the fame and
traditions of two old names of Spain,
and to the remnant OF q fortune
that was once one of the largest IN
the rich island, was killed a week
ago fighting in the ranks side by

THE COUNTY JUDGES.
ihey Meet and Resolute Upon A Va
riety of Subjects.

AN~COhbNS OpOh ~ va
riety of Subjects.
The county judges held a state
convention at Portland last week.
About eight or ten counties in the
state were represented, but from
the "whereases" and resolves"
enunciated by them it would ap-
pear that they were a mighty host.
Like all similar conventions that
have gone before them, they re-
soluted on nearly every subject but
that of county judges. Some of the
reforms proposed are good and have
been so recognized by everybody
long before the county judges reso-
luted on them. They made Lincoln
county an object of especial and
paternal interest by r~esoluting that
the legislature name a salary for
clerk and sheriff of this county.
Lincoln county will feel very CRATE
ful 10 the judges OF Multnomah,
Clatsop, Benton and one or two
other counties for so kindly allow
ing the legislature to act in this
matter. If the judges two years
ago had resoluted on this matter,
and the legislature had paid any
attention to it, Lincoln county
would not now be threatened with
an expensive law suit.
the fact of the matter is, these
conventions of county officers held
just before legislatures meet are so
much wasted efforts. Of all of the
resolutions passed by the judges
two years ago, not one was incor-
Porated into a law, and not II will
be this coming session by reason of
the judges resolutions. In fact,
about one half of the judges were
too busy two years ago trying to
get their salaries raised, or keeping
them from being lowered that they
lost track of their reform resolu-
tions.
The next thing in order will be
for the clerks TO meet, and then the
sherlfs, and then the assessors, and
then the school superintendent,
and even the coroners might meet
and pass a job lot of resolutions.
Of course none of them would be
expected to resolute on any matters
pertaining to their respective offices,
but would regulate all the other
Offices as we'll as the sun, moon and
stars.
These conventions, however, do
no particular harm. unless the
judges put in a bill to their coun-
ties TOR attendance, and then it is
time to choke it off. Lincoln coun-
ty paid INT such bill, but the prec-
edent was a bad one.

ELsBERRY, No., Sept BOB. II. Saw
age, of Illinois, had two strangers ar
rested here for stealing suit of
clothes, two pistols and a lot of mer-
chandise in Calhoun county, III. The
prosecuting attorney of that county re-
fused to apply for requisition and the
Lincoln county authorities refused to
prosecute the defendants for bringing
the stolen goods here, hence the case
was dismissed. The defendants gave
up the stolen goods, but the officers
took possession of them for the amount
the bill cost, 81, and Savage left town
last night, swearing that it was a dan.
gerous thing to try to prosecute thief.
