TOO MUCH POLITICS.
The men in the barbershops, Sleep
ing car porters, bootblacks in hotels,
track, depot and yard laborers talk
silver. Ministers Of the gospel are
silent. One expressed himself freely
for Bryan aud free silver, 'but for
heavens sake don't quote me, ''he add
ed, 81 have several gold standard pew
holders who would cut me OIL short IL
they knew my views" That is not
the golden rule as laid down by Paul:
Esteem another better than thyself''
not his subscription. A conductor
said the country was suffering from |
too much politics and not enough |
business. "This trying to legislate
value into something makes me tired!"
suggested the whole country was
tired-of legislating values out of
things. When a conductor wears
diamonds he begins to talk gold
standard.
FRUIT AND CROPS.
The first apples or indeed any fruit
IN trees l saw at Joslyn, Ill. At one
ST. Paul fruit stand were cherries, as
afterward learned. They looked
ike strange red-pepper colored berry

At the hotel we were served with
'anned green cages, that no Oregonian
would look at without involuntary
contempt. The markets are full OF
melons and early grapes from the
Outh. An immense hay, corn and
rain crop will be harvested just east
Il the Mississippi, and while people
i've better on the Pacific coast, cattle
ire better fed here. Magnificent
locks were feeding all over the broad
,rairies with their faces to the sun. l.

AS TO J. H. DRAIN.
Some Reasons Why He Should Not
Be Street Superintendent.

Editor Herald: am laborer earn
ing my support by good hard work; own
little home on which / pay my taxes
to help keep up the expenses of the city,
and it seems to me that it is rather un-
just for taxpayers like myself to de-
prive myself and family of necessaries
to pay these taxes to support a man who
does not contribute anything to the CITY
treasury. l believe that a man who
seeks the suffrage of taxpayers for a
municipal office should at least be a tax
payer.
Mr.. John II. Drain, who on July II.
1888, swore he was a native of New
York, aged 81; on August Is, 1890, SOL
emnly made oath that he was SO years of
age; on August 1, 1892, that he was ma
tive of Canada, aged 80, and on May
20, 1896, made oath that he was a native
of Canada, aged AZ, is a man who has
been feeding at the public crib for near
ly two years, and now asks the working
man and taxpayer to assist him to con-
tinue feeding in the same barn, but in
a different stall. This time he aspires
to the office Of city superintendent of
streets. He has not paid a cent Of taxes
since 1898, and is not assessed for any
property. What claim man who plays
football with his oath, who pays no
taxes has in the taxpayers of this city
l fail to see. When man whose only
apparent interest in our city is to draw
his salary has the effrontery TO run for
an office I believe it to be our duty to
turn him down. AS I said before / am
only a laborer, but I am happy in the
thought that I have a vote as large as
any one, and l think I know how to
protect my interests, however small
they may be, by voting for truthful, hon
est, taXpaying men to take charge of
our public interests. LABORER

and then he floundered completely. He
must have voiced the wish OF all, be-
cause Just as he shot out his aWful
right in a wild gesticulation, and gave
utterance to that terrible wish, every
body else seemed greatly relieved and
felt better. The breathing was easier
from then on.
A visit was paid to DIR. Wilson's res
idence last night. He dispelled from his
interviewer's mind the ghost-like fancy
which Mr.. Martin had caused to spread
in their haze among the cogs OF colos-
sal intellect, and positively Identified
himself as having been the man ut the
Wilson end of the phone when The
Herald reporter was at the other the
day previous, and the subject matter
was Mr.. Martin and Chief Glass He
was not quite so positive, however, as
the day previous as to any direct as
surance from Mr.. Martin anent the
prospective effacement Of the chief
from the seat Of power in the local bas-
tile, but firmly established the fact that
Mr.. Martin and he had discussed the
chiefs possible future.
AS for the Parkhurst society, it is
determined to down Mr.. Glass, whom
it believes to be brittle and weak and
deserving of complete shattering, and
if Mr. Martin will not hold his right hand
skyward and vow by the throne that
is as clear as crystal that he will do the
act the Parkhurst society may not give
to Mr. Martin that full and emphatic
support which in his woosome manner
he has been so eagerly pleading for.
Between the Glass push and the Park
hurst society, woe is Martin the Mud
died!

The City Committee and Mr.. Lucken-
bach in a Maze of Figures-Water
Statistics Which Do Not Harmon
ize-Claming Everything.

Evidently certain Delegates who par
ticipated in the conventions of both
the Republican party and the League
for Better City Government were not
very we'll posted on the election laws Of
this state, and the fact that they did
take part in both conventions might yet
prove source of embarrassment to
them if it does not, indeed, discount
somewhat the validity of the nomina-
tions made by the Republican and Bet
ter City Government league city con-
ventions.
The law upon this point reads very
plain and cannot be construed to mean
other than what it says. Section 119O
Of the code reads:
Sec. 1880. No person shall join in
nominating, under the provisions of this
code, more than one nominee for each
office to be filled; and no person who has
voted in a convention for or against
q candidate shall join in nominating,
in any manner, any other nominee for
that office.
A comparison of the list Of delegates
to both conventions shows the names
of the follwing as having taken part in
UOtH. -, bOIlHdtlH VI Lie OeVSllu
precinct; George Willard Of the Eighth;
w F. Botsford of the Ninth; e. Bouton
and A. c. Day of the Eleventh; M. L.
Wills of the Twelfth; II. D. Alfonso of
the Seventeenth; A. X. Crawford, A. P.
Hoffman and w. M. Garland of the
Twenty third; c. L. Batcheller of the
Forty-second; c. e. McStay of the Fiji
ty-second, and w. c. Woodman of the
Seventy-first.
This matter is to be placed before the
law committee of the Democratic and
Populist committees. with a view to
seeing if any steps toward contesting
the legality of the nominations made
by the Republican and league conven-
tions would be advisable 1t is plain
violation of the law. but just whether
it would initiate against the validity
of nominations is not so clear So far
as the delegates themselves are con-
cerned they acted illegally in the opin-
ion of the law committee
The herald., 1896-11-27

I'm the present campaign it was the
Democratic, and not the Republican,
party that first through its representa-
tives declared for the municipal owner
snip of the water works and other public
utilities.
Again, Mr.. Luckenbach, the city
clerk, in a speech delivered by him at
the Republican meeting last evening
stated that water could be furnished the
citizens at the rate of "a cents per S100
valuation of property. He does not say
SO, but 1 suppose from his other figures
he intends this to be a charge on unim-
proved as well as improved property in
the city. What will the owners of our
hundreds of vacant lots say about pay
ing for water they do not use?
But the Republican city committee
goes Mr.. Luckenbach, their city clerk,
nearly three to one better.
Using the same assessment roll as a
basis for valuations, they say that the
$500 lot will only have to bear tax of
GO cents, not $1.70 and the $1,000 lot tax
of S1.2O and not $340, according to Mr..
Luckenbach's figures.
Comparing the great reductions
claimed, both by the city clerk and the
city committee, the question arises that,
though figures may not lie, yet coniblna-
tions may. In the report published by
The Herald Nov. Is, 1896, the only posi-
tive comparison of rates (those of New
York city with Los Angeles) show a re-
| duction of SO per cent, while the mathe-
meticians working for votes claim that
they can make reductions running from
400 to 1900 per cent"
The figures published in The Herald
alluded to by Mr. Melville were those of
the report from the water Improvement
committee, submitted by Ralph E. Hoyt
| and E. Edgar Galbraith, Sept s. 1890,
| and republished in The Herald of the
18th inst. The Republican committee
is SO eager to capture municipal ow-
| nership votes that in pledging the Gree
distribution of water to the consumer"
| 1t takes the pains to print the word
free" in big black capitals.

REPUBLICAN ARITHMETIC
The City Committee and Mr.. Luckenbach
in Maze of Figures

Secretary j. H. Melville of the Demo-
cratic city committee perceive quite a
discrepancy between the figures given
by City Clerk Luckenbach at the little
Republican meeting in the West End
Monday night and those printed in the
folder just issued by the Republican
central committee. Speaking of this dl-
yersity of arithmetic yesterday after
day afternoon, he said:

carelessness of their central committee
