The Marquette Statue.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is evident that the Marquette statue
cannot be left in the Capitol building with
out engendering intense and lasting antag-
cnisms Allow me a suggestion. Let the
Wisconsin legislature withdraw the offer
of the statue to Congress and presen; it
to the university which represents here the
faith represented by the statue itself The
work of art will thus remain in the Dis
trict and in the place where above all
others, it properly belongs, while 4 serious
cause of contention will be removed from
the halls of Congress and from the country

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-10-15

Word comes from the republican
state headquarters that Chairman
Hirsch ana his lieutenants have
practically conceded Oregon to
Bryan and free silver. From now
on they will endeavor only 10 hold
down the majority.
1t is authenticity stated that
previous to the abandonment of all
hope of carrying the state, Mr..
HirsCh and a number of the state
central committeeman who were in
the city, held a conference and went
over the situation. The poor re-
ceptior of republican speakers in
the several counties and the small
audiences which they were able to
command, were discussed, aud
every committeeman present had a
diScouraging tale to relate. 1t
seems that i'll many Of the counties
audiences of even a small size were
raised only by the most strenuous
efforts of the local committees. And
invariably these audiences were
enthusiastically for Bryan. Pendle-
ton may be cited as an example.
Three hundred people politely
listened to L, l.. Smith for nearly
an hour, and when he concluded
they cheered wildly for Bryan.
Other happenings of the meeting
leaked out, and it seems that the
chairman and committeeman were
so utterly without hope of carving
the state for Mckinley that they
only speculated as to Bryan's prob.
able majority and the manner in
that majority could be kept as low
aspoSsible' Oregon was practically
conceded to the silver men. The
Mckinley campaign fund, it an.
pears, cuts but little figure with the
voters of the state.-Por,land Tr;-
. bune.

A correspondent from Lincoln

a correspondent from Lincoln
county to the Oregonian says:
The Siletz Indians are almost
solid for Mckinley and sound
money, and this sentiment is grow
ing among the people all the time.
Lincoln county will maintain the
honor Cf her name and cast her vote
also for Ohio's layorite SON."
OF course they are in favor of
sound mouey-gold and silver, the
money Of the constitution. And
for that reason many Of them will
vote for Bryan and prosperity. A
few local republican politicians
imagine they own the Siletz Indian
vote, and brag about how they can
manage it. But they will hud out
that the Indians are lot to be led
around by cheap politicians. The
Indians will vote as they think
best, regardless of the brags and
bluster of the republicans.

This offer was also continued bv
the court till the December term.
The court indicated, however, that
the offer would not be favor ably
considered by the court, as they
proceeded al once to enter into
two years lease with Valentine
Theil for the building now occupied
by the county at rental of $50 per
mouth.
Whether the court will favorably
consider either of these propositions
will be further acted on or not. 1t
would seem to us that the PROPOSE
tions are very favorable to the
county. BY their terms the coun-
ty would pay rent for five years,
but at the end of that time it would
become the owner in fee simple of
the block of groud and the building
thereon.

The Oregonian makes plea for
republican success in Oregon on
the ground that Bryan victory
would bring blot upon the name,
fame and credit Of the state. Bosh,
all bosh. Portland, the Oregonian' $
abiding place, has been ruled by
republicans for years until Penney
er was elected Mayor last June.
What is the result? A per capita
bonded debt of nearly $50; debt,
ruin, extravaganza, lack Of credit
and general destruction. The
Oregonian knows better and should
talk sense.

Court House Propositions.

As will be noticed in the proceed
ings published in another column
in this issue, the county court, at
its session last week, had two prop
ositions with regard to court
house and a site therefor laid before
it for consideration. The first prop
osition was to donate a block Of
ground for county purposes. The
proposition, aside from the usual
heading, is as follows:
ITO the Honorable County court
of Lincoln County, State of Oregon:
conference.-the will donate to
Lincoln County block No. 7, in
Nash's addition to the City Of To
ledo, upon the following conditions,
namely: That the County Court Of
Lincoln county, Oregon accept the
same for Lincoln county, and al
such time or times as the court may
deem proper, erect thereon the
county buildings. We are prepared
to execute a good and sufficient
deed clear of all .incumbrance.
Dated this Ist day Of Oct, 1896.
JONES & NASH"
1t will be seen by the foregoing
that the proposed gift of a block of
ground to the county was straight
and legitimate, and was only re-
stricted by one condition, and that
was that when the county cours
saw fit that the county buildings
should be erected thereon. This
block lies Oh the hill above the
school house. 1t is five blocks
from the postoffice, and is a level
tract of land. The matter was con-
tinued until the December term
without action by the court.
The second proposition to the
court was one erect a court house
for the use of the county. 1t was
as follows:
"To the County Court of Lincoln
County, State of Oregon:
Gentlemen:-The undersigned
heteby make YOU the following
proposition for your consideration
towit: We will build and erect at
our own cost and expense a court
house upon block No. 7 in Nash 5
addition to Toledo, Lincoln county,
Oregon; a building TO be all respects
as large and equally as good as the
the one now occupied by the couu-
ty officers, upon the the following
conditions, lowil: That said build
ing shall be fully completed and
ready for use on the first day of
July, 1897. In consideration of
which, the county court shall rent
the said building from the under
signed for term of five years from
the said first day Of July, 1907,
and pay therefor the sum of SEQ per
month, and at the end of five years
the said building to become the
property of Lincoln County. We
are ready to enter into a contract
with the County Court upon the
foregoing conditions, it being un-
derstood that Jones aud Nash do
nate the said block No. 7, to said

There was nothing IN this act 10 IN
crease the number of officers down to
and including the ensigns, above the
limit fixed in 1882. There was simply
change of title. The act of 1882 still
fixed the numbers of the limited grades.
An act approved June &c, 1854, provid-
ed that all graduates of the academy as
signed to the navy should be commits
stoned ensigns, the Junior ensign"
grade being abolished. This law con-
tanned this sentence: provided that
nothing in this act shall be construed
as to increase the number of officers
in the navy now allowed by law" The
1882 law limited the number of ensigns
to rs, and there had been no change by
the laws of 1883 and 1884. The unlim-
tied midshipmen had been made junior
ensigns, and finally had become ensigns
without the Junior" but with no in
creased number "now allowed by law"
The congressional record will show
that the intention of congress was to
make no increase, says Mr.. Mattice, but
this view was not taken by those in
charge, for, as Mr.. Mattice points out,
there are many more than GEO officers
on the naval register, and there have
been as many as 727. The total num-
Der of line officers named as on the ac-
tive list in the July naval register is
723, or 1O3 officers more than, according
to Mr.. Mattice, have any right to con-
nection with the navy.

NAVAL SENSATION.
More Officers on Pay Rolls Than
Authorized by Law.
Former Naval Engineer Officer Discloses
an Unpleasant Condition of Affairs
Startling Indifference Manifested
Towards Existing Statutes.

A New York Times special from
Washington says: A remarkable state
of affairs is disclosed in the navy, in
volving, it is alleged, an indifference TO
law that is little short of sensational.
The discovery, if not made, is at least adj
vertised by former naval engineer Off
Ger, Mr.. Asa NJ. Mattice, of Cambridge,
Mass. The charge is made by him in a
letter to congressman that there are
borne ON the rolls of the naval register
and government payrolls as we'll the
names of 100 officers who have no legal
right to their positions. Mr.. Mattice
quotes the law as it Is to-day, with all
the changes in the statutes, in support
of his claim.
He claims that more than one-eighth
of the officers in the navy are now hold
ing commissions contrary to law. If
the accounting officers of the treasury
who 60 over the monthly accounts of
the navy should take the same view of
it, it would be serious matter for the
hundred officers who are said to have
no legal right to their places. Mr.. Mat
tice believes that there has been ma
chine at work in behalf of this alleged
unlawful distension of the naval regis.
ter. He does not attempt a more spe-
cific indication of the influence which
engineered this alleged trickery.
Back in 1882 the naval appropriation
bill contained this paragraph: Here
after only half of the vacancies in the
various grades in the line of the navy
shall be filled by promotion until such
grades shall be reduced to the following
INTERESTINGLY: Rear admirals, 6;
commodores, 10; captains, As; com
manders, IS; lieutenant commanders
"A; lieutenants, so; masters, 70; en-
signs, rs; and thereafter promotions tc
all vacancies shall be made, but not t.
increase either for said grades abov,
the number aforesaid"
This meant, in so many words, tina
our naval forces commissioned officer,
would consist of 62O line officers. Now
according to Mr.. Mattice, there was in
troduced a scheme which was adopted
in March, 1853, by which the title o
master was changed to "lieutenan
junior grade" and that of midshiI
man to ensign junior grade, the word
ing of the latter part of the act beinl
as follows:
"Ninety-one midshipmen the title c
which grade is hereby changed to tina
of ensign, and the midshipmen now o
the list shall constitute junior grad
of, and be commissioned as, ensign.

HOME DYES THAT Are FAST.
Easy to Make Beautiful Colors With
the Reliable Diamond Dyes.

Scores of in Mexico are to-
day wearing dresses of fashionable
color that would have been thrown
aside long ago had it not been for
Diamond Dyes. With a ten cent
package of these simple home dyes,
even the novice can dye a fast and
beautiful color equal to the work of
the professional dye-house.
Cloaks, capes and shawls are read
lily dyed, so that a faded garment will
look as though it was right from the
shop.
Out OF the so different kinds of
Diamond Dyes, II are special fast
colors for cotton and mixed goods,
that will not crock or fade, even when
washed in strong s~oapsuds. These
are made from a peculiar combination
of dyestuffs, and cannot be had ex-
cept in the Diamond.
For i've twenty years Diamond
Dyes have been the standard home
dyes, and have taken the place of
crude dyestuffs and unreliable pack
age dyes in all parts of the world.
This marvellous success has naturally
inspired more or less worthless imita-
tions, sold to the trade at a less price,
and which q few INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers urge upon their customers. The
only way to ensure success in home
dyeing is to use only the Diamond,
the strongest, fastest, and most sue
cessful of all dyes.

soRADER HAS E r
He Departed Last Saturday For
Rush Hill, Where he Will Continue
His Divine Faith Healing"

The two O'Clock Chicago & Alton
Saturday going east carried "Divine
Faith Healer'' Schrader to the little
city of Rush Hill, where he will carry
on his great work of "healing'' peo-
pie. While Mr.. Schrader was stand
ing on the platform awaiting the train
a reporter for the LEDGER stepped up
to him, and after saying showdy-do,"
asked him where he was going. No
answer was made and he stood like a
statue.
The question vas repeated twice
and still no nswer was made. Then
the "divine" gentleman kindly in
formed the LEDGER man that he was
going "where the train would take
him.
He looked very much fatigued from
the great amount of work he has done
here and doubtless needs a rest. 1t is
to be hoped he viii get it wherever he
goes and that Mexico will not soon be
visited by another such fake.
