or course there is a good deal Of guesswork
in such story that about the Danderings on
the sea of the derect schooner which is reported
in a dispatch from Colon to have gone ashore
on one Of the islands Of the San Bias coast as
well as in all similar stories. An abandoned
vessel keeps no log, and estimates as to the dis
lance it travels can only be made by putting to-
gether a number Of observations of the drifting
hulk at various times. In this case 1t is believed
that what was left of the schooner made Voy-
age Of about $500 miles, which has only been
surpassed by that Of another abandoned schoon-
err that is estimated to have covered not less
than 5000 miles. These sea tales have to be
taken with a due proportion of allowance but 1t
is a striking circumstance that vessels abah-
doned presumably when it was supposed that
they could stay afoat little If any longer should
disclose much unlookedfor buoyancy and re-
main for months and years menace to every
ship that sails the sea.

THE Omaha World-Herald.' which Mr.. Bryan
used to edit. says Of the Leadville disorder: THE
history Of similar uprlsings in connection with
Strikes has proved that the laborng man con-
fronts the necessity Of bearing the blame of all
sorts Of crimes committed by worthless hang
"ers-on eager to indulge their brutal impulses at
the expense Of those who are making an honor
able struggle for better wages and more endur-
able conditions" Why then. do THE World
Herald" Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform de-
ncuncc the Federal Government for enforcing
Federal law against the worthless hangers-on
who INDUCED their brutal impulses at the eX-
perse of honorable wage-earners in Chicago in
1894? The PopOcrats have taken special
brief for those hangers-on and proclaimed them
the victims Of plutocratic tyranny

Certainly an Oddity.


Lloyd Montgomery is certainly an od-
dity, moral enigma. He seems to have
as little regard for his word as for hui
man life. To person who has called on
him several times since he was sentenced
he has doggedly insisted that bis first
confessin in which he alleged that Me-
Kercher killed his parents and ne killed
MckercEer was correct, and that he
would have persisted in this story if not
practically forced to make the other
statement, and that ii he had been per-
mitted to confess when sentenced, this
was the one he intended to make. He
claims in the story he is now telling that
before the shooting Mekercher asked
his father If he had sold his hops, aud
tine answer was Eyes, on yesterday. and
Immediately after the shooting began,
implying that McKercher did il for the
money. This is the worst kind OF fAbri-
cation, and it is not true that he was
forced to give the full confession to any
one. His statement before the grand
jury particularly was as voluntary as
anything ever given. The matter simply
shows the peculiar callbre of this young
man.
Montgomery is now having a great
time with the Fox brothers, adding,
singing, etc., entirely oblivious OF the fu-
ture. He says he is willing to die for
what he did, bat is going to have good
time before hand.

All Mixed Up.

Tie manner in which bank stock was
assessed this year By the different coun-
ties WAS quite ridiculous. Here il the
result:
'-Baker county, no bank stock shown;
Benton county, assessed at 80 per cent
OF par value; Clackamas county at 75
per cent; Crook at so; Coos, Curry, Co
lumbia, Grant, Harney, Josephine, Jack
son. Klamath, Lake, Lincoln, Malheur.
Sherman, Tillamook, Washington, Wal
Iowa counties, no bank stock shown:
Clatsop at 20 per cent; Douglas 10: Gil
liam 50; Lane Il0; Linn 65; Marion
Capital National 20 per cent; Morrow
90; Polk IS; Umaiilla s.; Union so:
Wasco 70; Yamhili 100; Multnomah,
First National bank, los per cent Of par
value; Commercial 81 per cent.
Even the state board OF equalization
was confused and reported: 1--WE con-
fued our investigation to national banks.
With the information We have we can
not determine what would be an equit
aDle assessment of bank stock Of each
county. To reach such a conclusion il
is necessary to know the amount of sur
plus and undivided profits OF each bank.
We believe. however, that the actual
value of the shares OF stock cannot be
less than the par value of the paid up
capital stock"

Prepare to Groan.

Oregon is about to reap the whirlwind
raised by the last extrayagant and in
competent state legislature. The story
is told in the following item in the Salem
Statesman:
Those in a position to have some
knowledge OF the subject express the be-
liet that the state levy for 1896 will be
the largest in several years. 1t is said
this will be the result OF the abnormally
small levy made year ago, through
which shortage in nearly all the i'm
portant funds has been created. 1t il
thought likely that not less than seven
mills will be required to meet the cur
rent demands. Ii is hinted that Secre-
tary OF State Kincaid hates considera-
bly, under the necessity which will COM
pei him after only one year in Office tc
more than double the last levy made by
his predecessor, this, too, notwithstand.
ing his strict personal scrutiny with a
view TO close economy"
Excuses will be out OF place and viii
not be tolerated. An average OF five
mills is an outrage.

1t Remained.

VIM. McKinnon, who was killed on
Christmas at Canyon Greek, was night
watch at Albany for some time years
ago. At one time he worked in black
smith shop here. He was a man who
was ready TO fight at the drop OF the hat,
and il would take big volume to tell all
the scraps he was engaged in. An illus
tration OF how quickly his antagonistic
bump would rise is told by an Albany
man: One day McKinnon was taking
baby carriage out to Lebanon for friend.
He took the buggy in the car and piled
It up on a seat. The conductor came
along and remarked:
You'll have to take that buggy into
the baggage car"
s'Yes?" said Nc without stirring.
Soon the brakeman came in for busi-
ness and made the same remark.
Mckinnon stood up and began taking
OFF his coat. "I will, viii L; well guess
not; II that buggy goes into the baggage
room II goes over my dead body" It
remained, and nothing more was said
about il.
