RoBERrsoN,s RESOLUTION.
Consideration Postponed by the Demo
cratic County CommIttee.

| lCons1deration Postponed BY the Demo
cratic County CommIttee.
At the meeting Of the Democratic
county central committee, Tuesday,
John p. Robertson, upon invitation
presented following resolutions and
urged their adoption:
"Whereas, Taxes are, in our judg-
ment, exOrbltantly and unnecessarily
burdensOme.
Whereas, We believe that the an
nual salaries and fees of state, dis
tricts and county officers are largely
responsible for this state OF affairs,
and much higher than is necessary TO
secure efficient public service; there
fore be IL
"Resolved, That J. p. Robertson, be
and he is hereby appointed a com.
mittee to Investigate and report TO
this committee or the county central
committee OF its next meeting the
amount OF the annual salary and fees
received by each Ofiicer-state, district
and county; that the facts may be laid
before the public at the next election;
that said committeeman be and he is
hereby authorized to invite cooper
alton of any and all other organiza-
tions disposed TO act with us by the
appointment of like committee to
assist In said investigation"
The document of Mr. Robertson was
the cause Of some discussion by those
present.
Several CT the speakers fdyored and
some opposed the project. The Salem
Statesman 10 fl report has the fol-
lowing report of the financial disposi-
tiOn OF the matter:
E. HOfer, as a representative of the
Silver Republicans was present only
as reporter Of his journal, but he
took issue with Mr.. Robertson on the
purport of the resolution, his reason
being that to make such report as
suggested would require much time
and considerable expense and his
party was not in a condition financi-
ally to give aid towards the work and
he also thought that such a report
would be considered as nothing more
than a campaign lie.
Mr.. Robertson was on his feet again
in answer to Mr.. Hofer, but the meet
ing cut him off by postponing further
of the matter.
1t seems that the populist commit
tee had expressed willingness to ap.
$40 towards paying for such
an investigation and preparation of
report, the suppOsition being that the
brother Democrats and silver Repub-
Iicans would donate like sum each.

SOCIETY NOTE BOOK.

A fair sized and appreciative audi
ence greeted the Schubert and Sym-
phony Club and Lady Quartette at the
Reed, Thursday evening. As per pre-
viOus announcement, the concert did
not begin until $3.50 p. m, so as not TO
to interfere with the services being
conducted IN the various churches.
The performances OF the celebrated
child artist, Tommy Purcell, aged 9
years, we're indeed remarkable. HIS
violin solo was executed in very
skillful manner. His recitations and
singing were also much appreciated.
He Is a clever entertainer. The reci-
tatiOns by Mr.. McPike were repeat
edly encored. The selections by the
quartette EACH received an encore. It
was one OF the most delightful musical
concerts OF the season, and much
credit is due the Mems League of the
First Presbyterian church, under
whose auspices the concert was given,
for bringing such an excellent COM
pany to our city.
About thirty of her young school
associates rendered Miss Ethel Cal
vert a pleasant birthday surprise
party at her home on Asylum Avenue
Tuesday evening. Parlor games and
various other anusments were heart
lily INDUCED in lnterspersed with vocal
and instrumental music, all of which
was followed by delicious luncheon.
Considerable amusement was af-
forded in the game of attaching tail
to a paper donkey suspended on sheet
in one end OF the room, two prizes
for which we're offered. Miss Carrie
Handsaker captured the first prize
and the BOBBY was awarded to Guy

1t was not until a late hour that
the merry party broke up and the
young people, having wished their
young hostess happy returns of the
day, departed for their homes.

Both editors OF the Democrat, together
with several other Marion parties, went
down to Abingdon on Monday TO hear the
Joint discussion between Rhea and Walk
er. congressional candidates. We were
disappointed in this by reason of Walk
ers friends being afraid for him to dis
cuss-but We heard Judge Rheas magni-
ficent three hours speech in which hot
shot fell so thick and fast that We saw
readily the wisdom of General Walker
friends in keeping him out of range. We
mingled with Washington county citizens
freely. and were agreeably surprised 70
find the county united and enthusiastic
for Rhea. All reports to the contrary
may be put down as false. Rhea sealed
the fate of the county Monday, and he
will secure a round majority there. Mark
our words.
