Practically all the manufacturing

for several days and much valuable

THE CHARTER FOLLY.

Nothing could better illustrate the
abIect folly OF all city governments In
Oregon than the present method OF
adopting city charters. The Portland
charter was passed through both
houses without ever being read by the
clerks and Il Is doubtful II II was ever
read all through by single member
at the time OF It's passage, before or
since or by anyone else. Further.
more the Portland city oiilcials do not
know what IL contains aud have not
yet seen the charter. They do not
know what amendments we're made TO
the charter before Il passed. All that
Is generally known is that the charter
provides for funding lot OF warrants
Into long time gold interest-bearing
bonds and that makes the country
absolutely safe. no matter what else
the charter contains. II we can only
get enough bonds Issued our children
will be happy and prosperous and
honest aud industrious. or course,
the Portland charter creates a lot OF
new ofiices that the people know
nothing about until they have them
saddied on their neoks for everlasting
support. That will make times bet
ter and swell the hat bands OF those
who get the offices aud they In turn
win help make other offices aud thus
the merry propagation OF oiiiclallsm
goelh on apace.
The Salem charter Is In the same
tix. Nobody knows what all was got
Into IL before II was passed. No one
knows who drew IL up. Alderman
Lawrence was under the impression
that Alderman Waters. drew IL up
and Alderman Waters dIsclaIms all
knowledge OF who drew the precious
document. Half dozen men were
runnlng 70 Representative McCunoch
during the special session With this
amendment and that amendment aud
as u noally passed no one knows what
vas got into IL. The charter creates
= new city oflce and provides for
funding all the outstanding warrants,
adding about slOO,OO0 10 the bonded
debt OF the city. We are now paying
over 5000 year interest on bonded
city debt, and II We adopt this charter
We elll pay over sis.OOO interest
year, aud We will have only little
oyer eo0o0 year left Co run the city
with. This would not pay for light
ing the city aud water and a new
iioatlnR debt would be created, More
0iiises and more bonds, and che people
be d-d, Is about the slze OF cts
charters nowadays. Legislation Is
for the bpndholder aud the warrant

HELP THE INNockNTs.

The legislature in special session
did not see &c TO appropriate dollar
for the maIntaInance OF Orphans
homes ln Oregon. We shall not make
on behalf OF these unfortunates
any appeal to the supplies OF leglsla-
tiye eye water, nor to draw down any
alligator tears from stony-hearted
politicians.
Neither shall we try to show that
the legislature appropriated money
for unworthy objects, or objects less
worthy than the orphans homes,
such as the hold-up legislators, the
$4,000 for an asylum site that the
state can meyer get title to. Or vast.
log money on pearl-handled penknives
or pointed toed, peaked -headed dude
committee clerks.
The legislature did not have a
chance to vote on the question of
supporting the Orphans Homes. The
oyer worked Ways and Means com
mlttee simply put the matter aside
on the ground that the Orphans
Homes we're not state institutions.
and that some OF them had very few
children and some had many, and all
asked the same SUN for support.
Now this was not just or intelligent
treatment. In the first place there is
no evidence that these homes do not
care for the orphans better than II
they were put In state "instjtution
run by politicians. The latter plan
would cost great deal more money,
ard no one pretends that 1t is i'm
proper for Il state 70 support an
orphans home. No state 10 the Union
but supports It's orphans.
The right thing TO do is TO pass one
law governing all these orphan homes,
placing them under state regulation
and inspection OF u board Of compe-
tent women, and whenever lot OF
orphans are properly provided for, &C.
cording to law, allow them so much
per capita for their support to a GER
tain age. That would be just and
humane. IT, would be decent aud
civilized.
There ls not one Of these Orphans
homes, be IL non -sectarlan, Protes-
estant, Hebrew or Catholic, but IL
conducted more economically, with
less pay TO the employees they have
no officers who get payl than any
branch Of the public service, and the
money expended on them is for a no
bier and better purpose, so far as the
state Is concerned than any money
expended by public orflclals, or on
public officials in Oregon.

government, he will not adopt
charter for himself, but he wants
some one else TO do 10 for him aud II is
done and he has nothing TO do but pay
and kick after his hands aud feet are
tied aud a gag is put 10 his mouth.
IL will probably be thus until the peo
pie wake up TO find they have very
little left TO administer upon.
The people Of Portland have the
advantage Of the City Of Salem pco"
pie. They have taken Ia Al Immense
territory and their city Is building up
right handsomely In several dlrec-
tlons, City taxes are comparatively
low and city water is cheap aud ex.
cellent and Is furnished In all the
suburbs. At Salem not one-thIrd OF
OF the city Is In the corporation. City
taxes are 10 mills and water rates are
high. for people In the suburbs do not
have the benefit Of u good water SER
vice or fire protection. THIS is not
the fault OF the Water Company,
which Is private corporation and Is
very we'll managed as such The
debt'creating process stops at that. IL
does not enlarge or improve the city.
IL does not plan streets or parks. 10
does not enlarge the wage fund. IL
simply eats taxes, eats taxes aud en-
riches nonresident class OF bond
holders II bonds are good thing,
why not keep them hare at home two.
Issue them so that any citizen with
lille money can take them and keep the

OF sending IL 10 New York, London or
Jerusalem. But that Is not desira-
BILE. A certain class OF manipulators
would get ~ commissions on such
bonds and the people buying the
bonds here at home would become

ln 1889 they found the Republican
party almost universally permeatei
with the free silver chimera, aud Mr..
Bingham himself Republican dis.
trlct attorney elected on the free
silver chlmera issue which he now
declares false and dangerous.
John II. Mitchell and all the great
lights Of the Republican party labored
with Hofer Bros. To convert them TO
this "false aud chlmerlcal' idea Of
free silver, and the leading plank Of
the Republican platforms was made
up OF this dread chlmera, and In 1897
the Mitchell push was not frowned
down by Mr.. Bingham, although Mr..
Mitchell had not publicly renounced
the "Chlmera," .
So late as the presidential campaign
OF 1895 Mitchell canvassed the state
to demonstrate that the Republican
party was still the only genuine free
silver cblmera party and good
enough chlmera TO endure until a
chlmerlcal railroad could be built

Bingham and Carson want TO throw
Hofer Bros. out OF the control OF THE
CAPITAL JOURNAL for changing
the policy of the paper when the Re-
publican party went In for the
"chimera" head over heels.
The first pointed utterance is that
