THE GENOA

Yesterday the town of Genoa. in
Douglas county, was the scene of a
lynching as needless as it was cow
ardly. Adam Uber, who a few weeks
ago killed Hans Anderson in a saloon
was the victim of the 1ynching. OF
his killing of Anderson there was no
excuse, but at a preliminary exami-
nation he was bound over to appear
before the Grand Jury on a charge o!
murder without bail. 1t was evident
that the authorities of Douglas county
had manifested no disposition to
shirk any responsibility in connec-
ton with the case and the accused
was safely locked up in jail from
where he could not escape,
The machinery of the law had been
put in motion and there was nothing
to show that it would not work
smoothly in the case and legally
avenge the death of a citizen. There
was no possible excuse for the lynch
ing and it was attended by circum-
stances of extreme cruelty and brutal
lty, such as makes the whole affair
a ~disgraceful blotch upon the records
of Douglas county; which can only
be removed by promptly bringing the
perpetrators of the outrage to justice.

A Clever Take OF.

Carl Smith Of the Chicago Record
is responsible for this clever take off
en- the Presidents message. Here are
some OF the things in it which are
equal to Bill Nye in his best days:
Owing to the %beneficent provisions
Of The American eystem Of protective
tariff gold has been discovered in the
vicinity Of the 18th precinct of the 4th
ward in Dawson City, British
America. This is, of course, directly
due to our courageous financial
policy. Last month a man who land
ed at Seattle came eastward fairly
perspiring gold. He had gold in his
baggage, in his pockets. in his hands
and in his teeth. Indeed, some peo-
pile said he had a gold circulation.
Last year this millionaire was a poor
milkman in Grand Ledge, Mich.
Now. under the administration of the
party OF patriotism, peace and pros
perity, he has gold to burn, and his
great sorrow is that it is not combust-
ible. Note the difference. A veal G
with a representative Of the Mexican
peon and the Chicago coolie in the
whitehouse, this man did not have
money enough to attract the attention
OF a hiPhwaymaD. Now, under the
advantageous workings OF our elor-
ious policy he is robbed every day.
Owing to the operations of the
Dingley tariff law, a very handy
famine has occurred In other LANDS
than ours, and wheat has gone up
80 high that it is in danger of suffer-
ing from the chill Of the altitude.
Observe the fulfillment OF the PROM
Uses Of the st. Louis platform. l hate
to rub it in. but our party is the party
or the home and Preside. There are
fewer railroad wrecks under a Repub-
ilcan administration than when the
occupant Of the executive mansion ia
an advocate OF the theory of cheap
coats for cheap men. 1t is not so cold
in winter and not 80 hot in summer
The lake navigation season remains
open longer and the street-car lines
give you more transfers. Aside from
this, as 1 have before remarked, the
foreigner pays the tax.
1--WE our in need Of very drastic
changes in our election machinery.
Senator Hanna has been a victim Of
emotion and disorder for
over three weeks because OF the evil
dent purpose Of the proper parties 70

there is nothing so disgusting as for a
gentleman and a scholar who has be-
lieved that he has the election cinched
to awake to the fact that unless he
consents to play a six days return en-
gdRement as a sort Of human dough
machine he will be turned down and
glued there. Perhaps there is no
chance for you to act in the premises,
but l think that when a man has he

There is one feature Of the GeeI
episode that has not been presented
In justice to the Oregon delegation, u
for whom we have as little use as they
have for us land that is less Than
nothing) it should be said that as Ore
gon politics goes, they could not re-
commend'Mr. Geer for the collec tor
ship, because that office is always
mortgaged in advance to a manager.
The man who holds that is expected
to manipulate primaries, conveutions
and delegations after they are elected.
Mr.. Geer has never done such work as
that and hence he has, as practical
politics goes, no claim to an Office that
is pivotal in the extreme in shap-
ing up affairs for the future. Only a
man who has shown ability or docil-
ity as boss and manipulation in the
interests Of ode gang" can be recon-
mended. Mr.. Tongue and Mr.. Ellis
are as mere cyphers in this matter
and Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Mcbride
don't understand any other kind Of
politics. Mr.. Geer is an Invaluable
man in campaign and ought to get
something. But it is safe to gamble
that he will never be collector unless
all custom is reversed.

RY aoEHR BROTHERS,
MONDAY, SEPT. 40, 1897.
EDITORIAL.

The theory Of our government is
that all public offices be open on equal
terms to all citizens who are qualified
to fill them But that is being set
aside and an official aristOcracy is
growing to be the most obnoxious fea-
ture of public affairs. One Office is
used to get another one with, or to
force the entire relationship of the
public official onto the payroll. Eyen
the selection OF cadet to West Point
or MILDLY to the Naval Academy,
purely educational appointments to a
nom partisan service, are regarded as
political plums, and are given to those
who have a political pull. The West
Point and Annapolis schools are not
political institutions. TO fill them
with political appointees is to prosti-
tute the army and navy for political
purposes, and make them still more
the breeding places Of an aristOcratic
class This is Un-American and un-
Just.
The army and navy are not political.
In reply to young Oregonian, who
wrote for information as to the re-
quirements to become cadet at West |
Point, Congressman Tongue wrote as
follows: "Yours of the 3rd inst,
stating that you are an applicant for
appointment as cadet at West Point,
has just been received, and assure !
you will receive careful considera-
tion." From this it does not appear
that any competitive examination
will be permitted. The congressman
treats the matter just like any other
request for an appointment, when it
is not political place at all, but is
filled on compliance with an educa-
tional test, and all oyer the country
examinations are held and the young
man passing the highest average eX-
animation, If he is qualified physc-
ally, is recommended for the place.
But it seems Congressman Tongue
will not give the young men of this
district IA chance to try for this ap-
pointment. The place will probably
be usurped by some of the professional
public teat suckers.

To say that Mayor Richa rdson has
been a disappointment to this city is
putting it mild. That he is polit-
ical manipulator of a low order no one
can doubt. 1t was probably his work
that put Swatford in for city treasur-
er and then proceeded to use him to
his own political destruction by sink
ing city money in his bank In his
inaugral message Richardson threw
out some sops to the Populists who
also nominated him, but not one re-
form idea has been followed up. Not
even putting city finances in order,
Political pull is his only conception
of public spirit. His public spirit and
progressiyeness is about OF the high
order of a Siwash Indian.

The gold standard Democrats in
Oregon are making themselves felt
with the administration. A man who
keeps posted on politics says the re-
port has come pretty straight" to
him that thereason no one was recon-
mended for the position Of collector
of customs at Portland, lies in the
fact that President Mckinley wants
7. j. Black retained. The president
desires by this action to recognize the
services of the gold Democrats, the
gold Democracy of the east and Ore
gon having asked for the retention Of
Mr.. Black. Some Of the Oregon Re-
publicans have also joined in the re-
quest. Therefore the rule, "To the
Victcrs Belong the Spoils," may not
be applied in this instance, although
the collectorship is yearned after by
the usual number Of hungry ap-
plicants. The goldDemocrats owe the
Mcbride faction nothing. In congress
and in .the election they left their
party to help the gold Republicans
to achieve success, some thing Mr.. Nc
Bride is too much of partisan ever
to have done. Mr.. Mcbride as senator
will never do what the gold Demo.

out of sense of duty or principle.

Postmaster-General Gary has taken
hold of the question of postal savings
banksw with a degree of earnestness
which encourages the hope that those
institutions may at no distant day
become permanent branch of the
public service.
The postmaster-gen is not COM
mitted to any Of the various systems
of postal banks, but is strongly i'm
pressed with the Canadian, the lead
ing features of which may therefore
be briefly explained. Deposits may
be made at any Canadian postoflice
and all money so received is transmit
ted to the postmaster-general, who de-
posits it in the Bank of Montreal. No
deposit of less than 81 is received, no
person is permitted to deposit more
than $4,000, and all funds draw inter
est at the rate of three per cent.
Married women and children abOye
the age of 10 years may deposit and
draw money on their account. A per-
son wishing to withdraw money must
apply direct to the postmaster-general
who sends him check on the Bank of
Montreal for the amount desired. The
depositors in the Canadian postal
banks last year numbered l53,S9s and
their savings amounted TO $2s, ,932, 1926.
The total expense OF handling the
business was $5S, $40, including salar.
les and everything.

Stenographers Make Hundreds Of Dollars
Per Day.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20,--At the
meeting of the new board Of supervis-
ors, a member Of the board stated
that the system of paying coult re-
porters' fees In criminal cases was
nothing more nor less than legalized
loot of the city treasury.
He cited the Figel case, saying that
more than $4,000 had been paid out OF
the treasury for fees to the reporter OF
Police Judge Campbell's court for
taking the testimony on preliminary
examination, aud the case was not
then concluded.
The protest was intended to draw
attention to the extravagant expendi-
ture of public funds in payment Of
Court reporters demands.
The Figel case has been before Po-
lice Judge Campbell for preliminary
examination just two months, and
$1,000 has been paid so far for record
ing the testimony. An examination
of the demands paid the reporter by
the treasurer, and now in the au-
ditor's ofiic, showed that $610 a day
was earned by Howard Vernon, Ste
nograpber of Police Court No. |, for
six days in August for work done in
the Figel examination.
The amount earned by the reporter
in Augu,t in this case alone was
81, 724.4 and that was paid by the
treasurer last month. For his work
in July Mr.. Vernon received $575, and
has also to be paid for his work in
September, In the first two weeks of
this month he registered in the treas
ury two demands on the general fund
as part of his claims for reporting the
Figel case. TheOdeman1s were signed
by PolIre Judge Campbell and cOnse-
quently, in accordance with we'll
defined law on the subject, there was
no necessity for the auditors sigr "a
ture. In all such cases the approval
of the judge is sufficient. One of
these registered demands is for S2OS %,
the other for S4sl55, a total Of $6S9.5O
for The first few days of September.

POpulists who follow Bryan are
necessarily progressive. Riding on
a railroad pass used to be proof posi-
tive that che rider was owned, soIl,

monopolies. Now that Bryan has
been caught riding about the country
on a pass, they will have to move up a
peg.
The above from a Republican organ
whose editor never rode otherwise
than on a pass is rot. The Southern
Pacific' could afford to carry Bryan
free to Oregon, as they made thou

The bitter contest over the United
States senatorship in South Carolina
appears to have given the place to
representative McLurin, who now
fills it under governors appointment
He is a much better man than senator
Irby, whom he succeeded, and proba-
bly, preferable to Ex-Governor Evans,
another comptitor. McLurin belongs
to newer style of Democrats who
came IN with Tillman, and who have
displaced the old order that prevailed
when South Carolina chose her Cal.
houns and McDuffles aud Prestons,
and which came in again after the
war with Butler and his colleague.
1t has instituted a new method of
choosing senators as well as by their
nomination by popular vote. This
worked well at the first trial, giving
the place to the chief justice of the
state from the prestige of his Office
without much regard to political fac
tion. He un Fortunately died before
taking his seat, which created the
vacancy now to be filed. The legis-
lature has still the power to defeat
McLurin, but it is thought the new
arrangement will continue to be re-
spected.
