THE STATE FIAR.

The state board Of agriculture did
we'll in its choice Of new officers. Mr..
Galloway has conducted the fair for
two years through the great financial
strlngency as well as could have been
done by anyone. His connection with
the Land office made it impossible for
him 10 continue on the board. The
refusal OF the board TO make the fair
any longer a mere appurtenance Of
any newspaper Office for purposes Of
plunder will meet with general ap-
probation.
Hon OH. Looney for president was
a wise choice. 1t puts genuine
farmer at;the head Of affairs. He is
a practical stock raisOr, dairyman,
horseman and all around business
man. He makes a worthy successor
to Mr.. Galloway. The society should
open an Office in this city where the
public can go for information, and
where the secretary and superintend-
ent can be found at all times for bus
mess
Mr.. G. ID. Gabrielson for secretary
was the best choice among all the
candidates. He is gentleman of
perfect integrity and will make the
fair popular with our citizeus and
business men. He will not neglect
any important interest, and his ac-
counts will be found in perfect order
Mr.. f. N. Derby for general super
intendent was a good selection. Mr.
Derby was manager Of the Motor
Railway, and isyan energetic and affa'
BILE gentleman, who will throw great
deal of new life into the fair. The
society is to be congratulated on Sc
curing Mr. Derby's services and his
frleuds know he will make gooC
record.

KANSAS AND OREGON.

The Emporia Kansas Gazette says:
If the Populists go into the reform
business in earnest in this state they
will take ten years lease Of life, but
they won't do it. No party dares to
do it. The first thing that a party or
governor finds upon going into Office
at Topeka is that laws are made for
the Oflice-hOlders and hangers-On, and
not for the people. There is room
for whole lot Of hOuse-clean-
ing at Topeka, but the party doesn't
exist that dares tackle it.
In the first place about balf the
boards and bureaus and offices are
steals. They were created to give
some little jim-crow yawper a job
some fellow who jumped in and tried
to be railroad commissioner and had
TO be given something. The board of
health is a steal. The state horse
doctor is a steal. Two boards to run
the reformatory and the penitentiary
are steals. The state coal oil inspec.
tiOn is a steal. The bureau Of labor is
steal, and has always been a disgrace
to the state.
Half the clerks and assistant clerks
and secretaries and assistant secretar-
les hanging on these boards are clear
cases Of larceny. The state printers
job Is steal. There is $4,000 year
in it, and there oughtn't to be over Sc,
600. There is rake-off in every one
Of these boards; too much mileage is
paid, and the whole outfit rides on
passes, which is another steal. Half
the gaurds and attendents, cooks and
bottle-washers in the state institu-
items are steals.
The railroad commission is steal
1t doesn't do the taxpayers Of Kansas
as much good as the Bartholdi statue
in New York harbor. Half of the
committee clerks in the legislature
are steals. There are wholesale rob-
berries of the taxpayers at every session
of the legislature. The board Of pub
lie works is steal-its work could be
performed by men drawing salaries
and doing nothing in other offices.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 16. Governor

CRIMINAL,
A Jealous Husbands Crime.
A Murderer Confesses, Causing Re-
lease Of Present Prisoner.

DETROIT. Dec. l6.-ErneSt Chase
cut the throat Of his wife. and with
same weapon cut his ovn throat from
ear to ear and fell dead beside her.
The tragedy took place in the rooms
occupied by the couple, and when dis
covered the two bodies lay in pool OF
blood upon the floor
The tragedy was the climax Of a
life Of unhappiness. Chase was IS
years old and his wife six years
younger. He was Of a very jealous
disposition, frequently accusing his
wife OF undue familiarity with other
men. an accusation which his friends
say was without foundation.
For a day OF two he has been very
mOrOse in his manner, repeating the
usual statements about his wife and
accusing her Of unfaithfulness. 1t
is believed he finally became insane
through brOodiDg over the matter anC
that the tragedy was the result Of his
insane Jealousy.

A MODEL CHAIRMAN.

George Van Dyke conducted the
county Republican canvass in Polk
county, Iowa. He has made public
the expenses of the canvass, receipts
and expenditures, and OF whom he
received monies, the number of
speakers engaged, literature distri-
buted, how much paid for this and
that item. He assessed each candi-
dates per cent. on the salary
of the office he was candidate for.
His statement shows who paid and
who did not. The total receipts were
S2,507, and he expended S2,445. So
much for badges, polling, parades, ex-
penses OF election day, office expenses,
printing, speaking, miscellaneous, etc,
1t Is a model statement and does Mr.
Van Dyke great credit.
The political county chairmen OF
Marion county are referred to the
above as a method OF doing buslnes:
that commands the respect OF bust

New Line Of Thievery.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-A form OF
thievery new 10 the Uolice came to
light through the request made by
William Shew,a photographer, for the
arrest of a Chinese known as Wong
Sim. The matter was turned oyer to
Police Judge Low, who issued war
rant for the arrest of petty larceny.
According to the statement made by
Shew, it appears that Wong Sim is
only one of an organized gang Of
thieves who contine their operations
exclusively to the theft Of photo
graphic negatives. After a Chinese
who is member Of the gang has be-
come installed as a servant in some stu
diO where pictures of Chinese are
taken, he will steal the glass negative
from which she picture of
some wealthy Chinese customer
has been printed. This is
handed over to Others of the gang,
who print several dozen photographs
from the stolen plate.
These finished, the pictures are
then given to an agent, who takes
them to the original of the picture
and offers them for sale at price far
below tie original price. AS the ma
jority Of Chinese usually have horde
of relatives in China, the agent has
no trouble in disposing of anywhere
from six to twelve dhzen pictutes at
the reduced rates.

When the people are entrusted with
the making Of their own laws that
they may protect themselves against
Injustice, We do not expect 10 find the
many paving an unearned tribute 10
the few. Yet this is just what we do
ind 10 our country today, this Is just
what we have brought about BY the
establishment of the system VI the
appreciating dollar. which subtly, but
surely. takes from the industrious the
fruits Of their toll and gives Ia the
idle. The building Upof an oligarchy
OF wealth. in effect il not in name. is
the result.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1896-12-16

Democratic Institutions are very
unsatEsfac .oTy to our dear dollar men
for the necessity Of controlling elec.
tions 50 far as to enable them to carry
further and TO completeness their
schemes Of >elf aggrandizement, or 50
as To at least guard against the over
throw Of tie system 50 dear to them,
subjects them periodically to a heavy
tax. But - unsatisfactory as our
dear dollar men have found the tools
" democracy with which to build up
an oligarchy. they have felt obliged
to put up with them. Get rid OF
such tools they would if they could
How to get rid Of them has been the
unsOlvabie question.
But at last they have struck brill
liant idea. BY gradual degrees they
will circumvent the difficulties they
meet with IN Republican institutions
and methods. They will, step by step
get Democracy out Of their way. They
will take from the people the power
entrusted to them TO protect them
selves. They will reduce Democracy
to the mere shadow of a name, 50
that the people shall have no say in
their own governing. They see the
means to accomplish this, at least a
possible means, and they will try it,
on at once. And how do they propose
to go about it? By getting congress
10 abdicate its legislative functions
over one matter after another. But
abdicate TO who? To special COM
missions appointed by whom they do
not much care, only so the members
are amenable 10 their commands.
And where would they commence,
from what sphere Of action do they
ask congress TO step aside for com
mission to step in? 1t is as to ques-
tiOns relating to matters Of financial
and tariff policy that they want con-
gress to declare its incOmpetency by
stepping aside and virtually surrender
ing To commission the power to
legislate for it on such matters.
In the future, congress is simply
to ratify the findings and
recommendations of commissions APP
pointed in fact, if not in name, by
the moneyed interest. Such is the
Team Of the dear money men, such
is the keynote sounded by the so-called
monetary conference held in India
napolis this week. The financial and
tariff question must we are told, be
taken out of the sphere of politics.
Questions of monetary and tariff pol
icy must not be left subject to changes
after every recurring election. In
short, if the people see fit to change
either monetary or tariff policy es-
tablished in the interest Of the grow
ing oligarchy of wealth they shall not
be free to be so. A commission must
be now entrusted with the farming of
currency laws 40 as to forever keep
the question ont Of politics and in
snre a permanency Of financial
methods. Such currency laws estab-
lisned in this way the peoples repre-
senatives shall not be free 70 change.
Onr currency system framed TO de-
spoil the many and enrich the few
must sbe so firmly plantned around
with safeguards that it cannot. be
changed.

INnooR RICYCITsTs.

SAN FRANCISCO, March e-The in
door bicycle tournament and cycle show
continued in this city tonight at the Me-
chanics' pavilion, and judging by the en-
thusiasm displayed, it has taken a great
hold on the public. Fully seven thousand
people assembled in the big structure to-
night and the sport furnished by the
racers eclipsed any that has ever been
seen at an indoor tournament in the
country. Two worlds records were
broken. The two mile race was ridden
in 4:30 by ]. K. Edwards, and the mile
was ridden in PA 1-5 by William Yeo-
mans. Charles S. Wells of the Syracuse
racing team won the final in the two
mile open and sgd b. Vincent won the
final of the one mile handicap from the
IS yard mark.
The ten mile inter-club cup race was
won by T.. s. Leavitt of the San Fran
cisco Road club who won cleverly from
Frank Byrne of the Imperial club, and
the hero of last years indoor tourna-
ment. The riding of Wells, Tantau and
Edwards was of the highest order.
Summaries:
Two mile open-Wells first, Edwards
second. Tin1e-5;09
one mile handicap-Vincent won from
65 yards. Metcalf second from SIS yards.
