AS IT SHOULD BE.

The approach towards healthier
state of public opinion, upon the treat
ment of crime and its perpetrators, is q
sign of growth in the light direction.
AS an example of that kind the San
Francisco Chronicle mentions that sit
is worthy of note that the mob which
once attended executions in California
has been reduced and that hangings
are now witnessed mainly by sheriffs
and others who have an official in
terest in such spectacles. Thus the
hanging of the Kanaka at Folsom was
seen by only thirty people. When
this number is reduced to dozen it
will be better" We are accustomed
to give entirely too much publicity to
the actions of condemned men in their
last days. The fact that low, brutal
wretch of coarse instincts and
cowardly nature, is in the shadow OF
the gallows gives him small claim to
public attention. He should be hanged
as quietly as possible and thus removed
from the earth which he cumbers. To
Warden Aull. of Folsom, belongs the
credit of putting an end to the posing as
heroes of convicts under his charge.
When a man like Chris Evans enters
Folsom he is beyond the reach OF the
hero worshiping reporters of sem
sational newspapers. The effect Of
this suppression of the criminal is 8
distinct gain for good morals.

WHIPPED INTO LINE.

The Fairhaven World-Herald, which
has in the past been fitting around
the silver god like moth about a
lighted candle, has at last got its bear
.ings clear, and having taken its cue
from the ST. Louis convention, offers
this aivice to its readers who are
threatening to go astray after the
silver cause:
ITO our republican readers, who
have a leaning toward free silver. we
desire to say few words. Don't be
too hasty in your conclusions and de-
nunciations. Wait till you have heard
from the democatic convention at Chi
cago, and the populists at ST. Louis.
Bear in mind the fact that the free
silver element had fair, open hear,
ing at the republican convention in
ST. Louis, and that their representa-
tion there was much stronger than it
could po,sibly be in the electoral col
lege, and that it is not the convention
but the electoral college that makes
the president. This is a country
where the majority rules and the silver
men were beaten in the convention by
a majority to 8 to l. Bear in mind the
fact that the entire east, and the whole
valley of the Mississippi, is today wild
and aflame with enthusiasm over the
nomination of Mckinley. These are
the states that furnish the electoral
vote, and without them, neither Nc
Kinley. nor any other man whom the
party could nominate, could hope to
succeed. Hence we say that until You
have heard from the democrats and
popu lists withhold your Judgement.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The situation at Chicago is becom'
ing interesting. It looks now az
though Boies would head the demo
cratic ticket.
The republican campaign cry this
year will not be whats the matter
with Mckinley" but the old time
question "W hats the matter with
Hanna?"
The Oregonian's opinion of Pen
noyer before and after election is of
q decidedly different material. See
yesterday IS issue in which the ex-gov-
ernor is declared perfect.
The Chicago Tribune has dispatches
from every state and territory, and de-
clares that the democratic national
convention will stand on the money
question as follows, silver, 57s; gold,
sas.
Senator Lee Mantle, of Montana, an.
nounced in newspaper interview in
Chicago this week that he fully en-
dorsed TIE bolt of the Montana dele
gates. He is for silver first and the

Gay Millionaire Once more Proves Lucky.
An Attempt Made Upon His Life.
SAN FRANCISCO. July2.-During the
process of Lillian Ashley's suit against
E. J. Baldwin for SIS, 900 for seduction,
this morning, Emma Ashley, sister
of Lillian, tried to shoot the million
aire defendant. She fred at Baldwin,
but the bullet missed.
Lillian Ashley was In the witness
chair on cross-examination. She testi-
fed yesterday that she has never worn
her hair crimped. This morning the
defense had picture of her showing
her hair dressed with crinps OF extra
ordinary size. Asked II it was her
picture Lillian said: SIT may be me,
but don't think so." At tthese words
Emma Amenda Ashley, sister Of the
plaintiff, rose from her sess carrying a
small bag and walked behind the chair
where Lucky" Baldwin was sitting.
From the bag she took a revolver
which she leveled at Baldwin's head,
the muzzell being two inches from his
skull. She tried to pull the trigger,
but could not and had to use both
hands. Every one was engrossed with
the testimony, and nobody knew Bald.
wins danger till the report of the pistol
was heard. 1t had missed Baldwin's
head and Emma Ashley was trying to
fire again, but the pistol did not dis
charge readily. 81. A. Unruh, Bald
wins business manager, was the first
to grasp the situation, and jumped to-
wards the woman and struck her a
violent blow on the wrist and wrestled
the pistol from her grasp.

ECONOMY THE WA1cHWARD


\ Ness~Moaaay the county officers
elected the lst day OF June will be
duly installed into Office, and with the
exception of clerk, sheriff and one
commissioner, there will be an entire
change In the personnel of the officers
of Wasco county. The voters of the
county have expressed their confidence
In the business ability and integrity of
the gentlemen who will be sworn into
office next Monday, and it is to be
hoped their confidence will not be
shaken by any act of the officers-elect.
1t matters little to what political
party officers of a county belong so
long as they are men who recognize
that public Office is public trust, and
who will conduct public affairs as they
would their own business. earn every
dollar of their respective salaries,
charge nothing for work not actually
performed, and make it their especial
duty to see that no one who performs
work for the county is overpaid.
If the new. officers make economy
their watchwood during their respec-
tive terms of office, keep the expenses
of the county down to the lowest pos
sible figure, and labor necessarily for
the welfare of the taxpayers, the
voters of Wasco county will have no
cause to regret The choice they made
on election day. All that any people
can denard of public servants is The
performance of duties at actual cost.
and rendering of accounts such as
would be required in the management
of private business. Parsimony is
not demanded; but a broad-minded,
economical, honest administration of
public affairs, such as will tend to en-
courage the development ofevsry Sec
tion of the county. and at tho same
time keep taxes at the minimum.

Fees illegally Collected.

FRESNO. CAL, July 2.-One of the
most important decisions In the his.
tory of the county was handed down
by Judge Carter, concerning the col
lection of fees by the county clerk.
For the past year the clerk, on the
advice of the district attorney, has
collected 90 for filing complaints and
for placing the cause on the trial
calendar, like sum being charged for
every record preliminary to and during
the tendency Of the suit. Under this
system the trial of one case alone In
volved the payment of over $3.50, some
cases actually being kept out Of court
The decision ulakes it
necessary to pay s2 for fling the suit
only. The county will now be COM
pelled to refund several thousand
lollars to protesting litigants.
