to make settlement and tore pages
out Of the cash book, and tried to
conceal the business transactions Of

the proceeds, but had sent this man
to felonously and wrongfully break
in. and sneak through the slime and
mud Of Salem's back alleys to get
what be had no legal right to claim
or take.

show that the business difference be-
tween Wagner and Nye had no proper

penditures for liquor with preceding

lows: s3sO.45, s3O2.25, s265.45, s4l7.70,
s341 .25, s456 70, s2O5.O5.
Total receipts for two months, end
ing March 10, 1897, s2,50l.7O.
Nye made a months balance sheet

sI756. 95. This was a total shortage of
S1440.55.

adyisement until l o'clOck' Tuesday
morning.

Independent Comment on People
in State and Nation.

Sunday, five young ladies from tne
northwest metropolis spent the day
in the Capital City. While seated
upon the lawn during the afternoon
in the vicinity of the court house.
they commented more or less unfavor'
ably upon whatever object their gaze
happened to rest. Viewing the
statue of Liberty on the court house
dome, one Of the company asked, "By
whom was that ridiculous figure de-
signed. anyway" The sharp Salem
yonng lady, who was equal to the oc'
casion, in an obliging but apparently
an effective manner answered: 1T
is the result Of the work of a Portland
artist " No more criticisms were
heard from the young ladies during
their stay in Salem.

1t is evident that the present
administration is fully determined not
only to uphold. but to extend the civil
service rules. Nearly all the great
departments at Washington are now in
the classified, and the indications are,
that it will be but question of short
time before all are there. The appoint
ments in the New Library of Congress
We're not under civil service rules. no
competitive examinations lent terrors
to the chase, and, as result, there
We're more than $1,000 applications for
the eight or nine hundred positions at
the disposal of the librarian, nearly all
of whom claimed the strongest kind of
political backing" The plain fact is,
that the day is rapidly going by when
political backing" will avail to secure
men or women positions in the govern
ment departments at Washington
Most people who now secure such
places do so through the competitive
examinations.
