Tony Noltner, the democratic
statesman-journalist of Oregon,
is at Washington. Tony does
not expect an Office under the
present administration, nor is
his newspaper (it is understood
that he does publish newspa-
per somewhere in the state) pros
porous enough to permit its own
er to indulge in a pleasure jour
ney. This democratic relic is at
the national capital on business
cash business. He is ably
seconding the efforts of the lost
"Charley" Ross and Constitu-
tional McCamant to have Cor
bett seated. Tony's duty lies
with the democratic and popu-
list members of the senate. He
tells them if Corbett is seated,
the governor will not call a
special session, giving the next
legislature to be elected the right
to elect senator. He tells them
also that the "allied forces will
control the next Oregon legisla-
ture, insuring a democratic or
populist senator" Wherefore, y
he argues, in that convincing
way of his, that has made his
name in Oregon hardly men,
ory, cit is the duty of us six
teen to oners' to seat Mister Cor
bett." Corbett's prospects are
so unfattering that he once more
makes terms with the enemies of
the republican party. Noltner,
while he is in the employ of Cor
bett, evidently carries definite
assurances, given by the Simon
pure republicans to the leaders of
populisn, as to the future. 1t
is written, "By their works ye
shall know them" Professions
are of little account. There
seems to be but little real differ
ence between Corbettism and
populisln as to means and ends.

AS the grape vine line between
the state house and the GAZETTE
Office has been blown down by
the changing winds of politics,
we cannot answer Inquirer
proper and pertinent questions
regarding Secretary Kincaid's
future course concerning unau-
thorized state salaries. The hon
orable secretary has already de
cided to not allow the majority
of such claims, but, believing
that the exception proves the
rule" he has evidently made
some exceptions. Of course, it
is only accidental that the ex-
ceptions selected should be the
illegal salaries of the official
family at Salem.

The difference, as will be seen
from the above tables, will be,
on the salary of the governor,
81, 500 yearly, state treasurer,
5000 yearly, and secretary of
state, $500 yearly.
| think the attention of the
taxpayers of the state should be
attracted to this matter, and that
1t should be ascertained whether
the secretary proposes to issue
vouchers for the amounts allow
ed i'll the appropriation bill of
1895, or for the amounts actually
permitted by law.

PHIL. METcHAN, STATE TREASURER.
Salary as state treasurer. $500
Supervising public works. SOC
Insane asylum trustee ............. loo
Total annual salary and perquistes. $500
AS l understand, a great many
of the above items are simply
carried in the general appropri-
alton bill and at the end of each
biennial term, they cease unless
re-enacted and the old law re-
turns in force, naming the
amount that may be drawn.
Will you kindly state whether
it is known what will be the
course of the secretary of state
respecting salaries of the above
officers? There has been no
legislature and a great many of
these items could not legally be
drawn unless authorized by the
session. I presume, OF course,
that vouchers have not been is
sued for them. AS there was no
appropriation bill and as there is,
therefore, no law at the present
time giving these officers pay for
extraordinary services, many OF
such items ought not to be
drawn.
am aware that many persons
contend that the provisions of
the constition of Oregon fixing
the salaries of these officers
should be construed to prohibit
the payment to them of any ad-
ditional compensation whatever
and that all fees or salaries drawn
by them in excess of their con-
-titutional salaries are illegal.
But without taking this view,
and assuming that the Legislature
may add to their compensation,
it seems to me that these off
GERS should not be paid what no
law on the statute books provides
for.
l take the items that make up
the salary of the governor as
above set forth for an example.
The first item in the table is the
regular salary of the governor
and is the only item allowed by
the constitution. This is like
wise true of the first items re
specting the secretary of state
and the treasurer.
The next item, "Supervising
public works, $I,ooo," was ar
item i'll the general appropriation
bill of 1895 and was only for the
years 1856 and is not general
law. Vouchers should not be is.
sued for this item, as it ceases
when the appropriation IS ex-
pended.
The next item, "Prison in
spector, $780,. is so large an
amount only in the appropriation
bill of 1895, and when that ap-
preparation was expended, the
original act, which the act Of
1895 repealed by implication,
would be reinstated, of which
act Sec. 1850 of Hilps Code is q
part, and would allow the gov
ernor only 200 per annun as a
salary for prison inspector.
Vouchers should be drawn fol
that amount only.
The naxt item, Insane Asy-
lu1n trustee, $780," is an item
appearing for the first time in
the appropriation bill of 1895,
and by force of that act, author
ity for drawing the same termi'
mated with the limited duration
or that act as law.
The other three or four items
are all provided in the general
law creating the commission OF
providing for the management O.
the institution named.
The amounts for which vouch
ers can be properly issued are as
follows:

for several years. Mrs Helne lay quite

removed to Ernest Carlson's house,
where at last reports she was not suffer
ing seriously from the shock. There
WAS considerable delay in giving the

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Mansfield, Mo-
writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
