One of the rank injustices of our
present system of running our courts
was illustrated few months ago
in this county. One man sued
another for damages, bringing his
suit in the county court. He de-
pusited his fees to the amount of
eight dollars and the machinery of
the law was set in motion. 1t cost
the county the time of the sheriff
one day in serving papers, the time
of the clerk one day in attendance
of the trial, and perhaps the greater
part of another in doing the clerical
work, the time of the Judge one
day in hearing the trial, and nine
dollars for ajury, costing the county
all told about $25. The county
received $8, and the taxpayers stood
losers to the amount of about $I7.
All this was in purely private
suit, in which the taxpayers out
side of the parties interested had
not the slightest interest.

According to law the tax roll
will be closed next Monday and the
unpaid taxes turned in as delin-
quent. There has been but very
small percentage of the taxes paid
as yet, and the greater portion of
the roll will go delinquent. AT
this time of the year it is all the
people can do to live, to say nothing
of paying taxes. People have every
thing to buy at this time of the
year, and nothing to sell. The
county court will no doubt extend
the time for collection before the
penalty is added. To do otherwise
would impose hardship and would
be of little use. Collection of taxes
cannot be forced now. BY the
middle of summer, when the people
have something to sell, then the
taxes can he crowded.

Samuel J. Tilden's idea of the
functions of a democratic govern
ment were embodied in the follow
ing brief sentence Nothing should
be done by the federal government
and nothing by any
governmental power which
individuals can do for themselves.
The tendency of form of govern
ment would be to make people
more aelf freliant and self-support-
ing, and the higher they are devel-
oped along this line the need for
government would become less and
the government itself less burden
some.

Advertise the County.

All through the eastern and mid
die states there will be a great
exodus for the Pacific coast during
the next two years. The people
who are getting ready to leave that
country are nearly all men of some
means, that is, they have enough
to buy and improve a home. These
people will all come to the principal
cities of the Pacific states and then
will branch and slit out to different
localities. One Of lhe principal
agencies to induce immigration in
Oregon, and to direct and care for
it after it arrives, is the State Board
of Immigration, at Portland. We
visited the rooms of this board
few days ago and was considerably
impressed with the display they
keep continually on exhibition of
the states products, and with the
systematic and intelligent plan of
disseminating information which
they have adopted. They have
much literature concerning Oregon
and the Pacific Northwest in general
but we noticed great dearth of
local literature. This is bad.
Every county in the state should
have readable, reliable and con-
densed write-up of its advantages
and location. Not boom articles as
was published by the train loads in
days of yore, but good plain matter
setting forth the location of the
county, resources, industries and
advantages. A large amount of
this matter should be kept on the
tables of|the State Board of Immi-
grafton for local distribution to new
comers who visit those rooms, and
also for mailing east to inquirers.
Itbehoves Lincoln county, especi-
ally, to take an interest in this
matter. We want new settlers and
new capital. We are not exactly
isolated, but we are off to one side
and the only way for US to attract
attention to Our advantages is by
blowing our own horn. We should
keep pile of literature at the
rooms of the State Board of Immi-
grafton in Portland, and also at the
Oregon City and Roseburg land
Offices. A man coming to Oregon
from the east with no we'll defined
idea as to where he desires to locate,
would be easily induced in our
favor by readable pamphlet setting
forth our advantages and induce
ments. This matter is an import
one, and one if neglected will work
to our hurt.

MAY AMOUNT TO NOTHING.
Speaker Reed Opposes the Morgan Resolu-
tion and Has 1t in His Power TO Kill 1T.
The President Also Seeks Delay.

WASHINGTON, May 0.-President Nc
Kinley is not likely 10 be called upon to
take action upon the Cuban resolution
passed by the Senate to-day for some time,
and perhaps not at all. The resolution
woud not be sent TO him for his approval
until it had been adopted by the House.
and whether the House taxes it up must
be decided hereafter. II is known that
Mr.. Mckinley desires the postponement OF
final Congressional action on the Cuban
question until the report Of Mr. Calhoun.
who is on the island to investigate condl-
tions there. has been made.
Mr. Hit, the Republican leader in the
House. said guardedly in the debate to-
day that the adoption OF the Morgan reso-
luton at this time might embarrass ne
Cotiations which the President has in
mind 10 secure the independence of Cuba,
and although Mr.. Hit expressly disclaim-
ed that he spoke by authority, 1t was well
known that he had been in consultation
with the President on Cuban affairs and
his utterance was taken Is a reflection of
the wish Of the executive. The Senate
resolution can be brought before the
House only by a special rule. and Speaker
Reed is known to be opposed to its adop-
ton at this time.

PROMISES
That Puddlers Wages Should Be
Advanced If Mckinley Was Elected,
Were Not Kept.

Detroit, Mich, May 2O.-The general
wage committee of the Amalgamated
Iron and Steel Workers Association
has practically agreed that the puddler
rate for the coming year shall be
$3.50 per ton, the same as the present
rate. There is a strong sentiment for
a So rate among the puddlers because
they say that the Pennsylvania mill
owners promised them an increase this
year in the event of McKinley's cleo
ton, and many of them express sore
ness over the poor outlook for any
higher rate. 1t is probable that nc
change will be made in the muck mems
rate over last years which was an in
crease of 121a per cent over the pud-
dler's rate.
Detroit will doubtless continue to
be the annual meeting place of the
Amalgamated Association.

ance with the action taken at the
Miners National Convention, recently
held at Columbus. Ohio, the miners

ing for a general strike for the restora-
ton of the So cent rate.
