HOME-MADE La W.

A Eugene dispatch to the Oregonian
says:
ut is understood the county court ct
its next sitting will make an order
directing the county treasurer to re-
tain 80 per cent of the taxes collected
on the state levy, instead of remitting
the full amount to the state treasurer
Immediately after collection, as has
formerly been done. Twenty per cent
of the collections will be forwarded, as
usual, but the county will probably
make use of the balance until such
time as the state will have need for it
in paying warrants. The 80 per cent
retained will pay off nearly all of the
outstanding warrants against the
county"
Evidently the county court of Lane
county has been "Northupized," and
conceives that it is law-making body,
capable of setting at defiance the state
statutes and to manufacture some
homemade law for its own use. But
this kind of law will not stand the test
of the courts: and the county treasurer
who obeys such an order from a county
court will most likely find himself in
serious trouble. He will not only SUBJ
ject himself to the liability of being
removed from office, but will be liable
to heavy penalties. Because the leg
islature failed to do its duty in making
provisions for dispensing the state
taxes does not justify the county courts
in undertaking to adjust matters. In
fact county courts have no jurisdiction
over the state taxes, land any order they
might issue directing county treas
urer to not pay them over to the proper
custodian would be of no effect. Home
made law, though its operation might
be convenience to certain localities,
is of little force when it conflicts with
laws alreadyon the statute books.

PROFLIGACY RAMPANT,

Indeed the Americans are d proligate
people, or rather a people given to
much luxury both in private and gov
ernmental affairs, and it would seem
that proAigacy has run rampant in this
country during the past one hundred
years, in the extravagances practiced
by those who have guided the ship OF
state.

WASHINGTON, March "a. = The
dinner given ex-senator Dubois last
night by the silver republicans of the

an important conference on the policy
to be pursued with regard to the Ding

the enactment of the bill.

There can be no particular objection
to this appointment except that Mr..
Hermann has fed at the public trough
about long enough, and it is time that
he is stepping aside.
France is republic, and tho great
majority Of her people are strongly
animated with the love of liberty.
They are not in sympathy with the
concert cf the powers" and will not
enthusiastically sustain their govern
ment in the attempt to preserve the
peace of hogs by allowing vulture to
tear the vitals out OF lamb. The
Cretan outbreak was great oppor-
tunity for France to prove that it is
indeed republic, which believes that
'all men, everywhere, ought to be
free"
Those kind hearted Europeans. who
blockaded the Cretau ports in order to
prevent the Greeks from protecting
the Christians in Crete for fear it
might result in a general war, have
nice object lesson of the ''civilized"
Turk whose cause they have esponsed,
in the massacre of 100 Christians at
Tokea last Sunday. If they will just
continue their blockade of Crete, they
may expect like massacres to occur in
Corea, for the Turk is red-handed
assassin wherever you find him.
1t certainly was time that change
of administration took place in Il e
state of Washington, when investiga-
tions show shortage in the accounts
OF the Sheriff of King county (who was
afterwards governor of the state)
amounting to nearly $1,000, and a
shortage too that occurred over four
years ago. The populist who have
gained the reins of government in a
majority OF the counties of Washington
seem willing at least to dig up some
of the shortcomings of ex-officials that
account for the enormous Indebtedness
of the state.
Few rich people in the world are
making better use of their wealth than
is the Baroness Hirsch. She has eX.
pended millions for the betterment of
the poor of Europe. and is now turning
her atte ton to the American needy.
She processes to endow trade school
in New York city, and has appropriated
1000, 900 for the building of houses for
the poor in the tenement districts.
In addition she will build q working
girls home in the city. If a few other
multo-millionalres would make such
use of their riches, there would be less
suffering in the world, and the wealthy
would be looked upon as philan-
thropists instead Of pirates.
Samuel J. Tilden gave his idea Of
the functions of democratic govern
ment in the following brief sentence:
Nothing shall be done by the federal
government that the local authorities
are competent to do, and nothing by
any governmental power that individ-
uals can do for themselves. If we had
more of this kind of government the
people would be more sef-reliant, and
there would be less demand for FOSTER
ing care, called 'protection." When
individuals rely upon themselves, and
when every industry is made to stand
on its own merits, regardless of pater-
nalism from tine general government,
there will be fewer people living off the
earnings of others,

A number of American citizens who
were confined in Spanish prisons in
Cuba have been released. This is said
to be on account of the fear entertained
by Spain that the present administra-
tion would pursue more vigorous
foreign policy, and would insist on
Americans having fair treatment and
speedy trials whenever accused of Of
fenses against foreign governments.
If this be true, it is certainly one point
of credit to be recorded in favor of the
new president.

GREENSBURG, Ind, March 25. =
George and Calvin Holmes. brothers,
fought duel to death near Moore's
Hill, yesterday. They were twins %
years old They were members cf al
prominent wealthy family.
Miss Higgs, over whom they fought,
is 20 years old, the daughter of one of
the wealthiest families in the county.
About year ago George Holmes be-
gan paying attentions to Miss Higgs,
and was favorably received. Last
Christmas his brother Calvin returned
from college and met the young lady
at neighborhood dance. They at
once seemed smitten with each other,
and this aroused the jealousy of the
girls lover. Nothing was known of
his feelings, however, until Sunday
night when Miss Higgs Tilted him for
his brother, and quarrel ensued.
Yesterday the brothers met in the
road. They quarrelled and struck each
other, when Calvin fired. Several
shots were exchanged, when George
dropped dead. Calvin is wounded over
the heart.

That prosperity producer, the Ding

whoop, and most likely get through
the senate with but slight changes. 1t
is an assured fact that it will become
law, even though it be slightly mod

From June to November the cry of

follow. But now that Mr. Dingley is

congress, the same press objects and
says it will never do to go to extremes
in tariff legislation. What do they
want, anyway?

If the county judges are clothed with

his associates would benefit, let them
issue orders to sheriffs to not collect
the state apportionment until the leg
islature meets. and thus allow the
money to remain where it belongs, in
the hands of the taxpayers.

Some young men, seemingly, do not realize that there is time coming when their daily labor will be their only sup. p Tt. They take no thought or act in the preparation of fitting themselves for the future. The day IS fast approaching when the unskilled laborer or the un- learned professional man will be a back number. This IS a question of stern reality of life that all young men and women should seriously consider and especially those who are not blessed with finances sufficient to keep them without labor of some kind.
