Wasco's Republican representatives
seem to be alert in trying to represent
their constituents IN the matter of
legislation, but we fear that the peo-
pie of this county Will not support
them in their efforts to elect Cor
bett. But they are fair-minded men
and when the "break" comes, which
will occur soon, we believe that they
will rally around some good Repub-
lican like Hon. NJ. C. George. How
ever, The CHRONICLE docs not in

that stalwart Democrat, Hon. E. B.

The Corbett push is in full force
now in the corridors of Hotel Will
lamette, on the streets and around
the capitol, and every member and
every public man who is not con-
trolled by one means or other in the
interest of Corbett is watched and
bounded like criminal. 1t will GER
tainly be great credit to the honesty
and moral courage of the members of
this assembly when it becomes a
demonstrated fact that the boodleNof
Mr.. Corbett has been unable to per-
form its work of corruption; when
the auction block upon which the in
tegrity of Oregon has been bartered
for gold has been blasted into frag-

bidders have been relegated to the
shades of obscurity from which the
3lethoric sack behind senile ambition
has brought them.-Salem Statesman

DISSERTATIONS FROM SALEM.

A strenuous effort has been made
TO make effective the appeal that
caucus of Republican legislators
should be held, and its decision
should be binding upon the Republi'
can members. There might be some
force in this argument if it came from
men who had respected caucuses IN
the past, or if the caucus pledges OF
members had been redeemed in the
past, or, still further, if the pledges
for such caucus could receive the
signatures of majority of the ninety
members. But for men to be led in
to a caucus of a weak minority and
thus seek to bind other members Of
the same political party, especially
with the experience of the recent
past in mind, would be the veriest
folly. Such is the view of staunch,
conservative Republicans who have
no personal ends to grarfy and no
personal enemies to punish.

consider the facts.
 It will not be the first time the Gov ernor will have considered the facts of the Durrant case, and he is nearly as familiar with them as the attorneys. The purpose of any continuance at this time is to try the Williams case, and that was made the burden of the prayer for delay. Should the Williams case come to trial and should Durrant be acquitted of that charge of murder the conviction on the Lamont charge would be dealt a moral blow which might rebound to the benefit of the prisoner to the extent of avoiding the gallows, even though the conviction stood. The Williams case was always considered the weaker of the two, and one of the first legal fights in the case was over the attempt of the prosecu- tion to try the Lamont case before the Williams case, because the Lamont case was the stronger.
 It has already been settled that there can be no legal connection between the two cases, and the Governor has already intimated by his attitude in former appeals where the same point was raised that he considered that the Williams case was one of secondary importance when the Lamont case was being considered. It is generally be- lieVed that he will take the same stand he has taken before and will not in terfere in the course of justice. His decision is expected some time to-day, and there Is little doubt but that it will be the dying of Durrant's last hope.

 WilIiCm w. Miller.

William w Miller, editor of the World, swore to a complaint in Judge Lows court yesterday for the arrest of Charles Blackburn on the charge of burglary.
 Miller has just served a sentence for criminal libel while running a paper in San Jose. While in jail he alleges that Blackburn went to his mother and represented that he had been commissioned by Miller to get from her S250, to be paid to Attorney More house. Blackburn got the money and went to San Jose, but instead of giving Morehouse the s250 he only gave him $150
 On November g Blackburn again called upon Mrs. Miller and told her that Attorney Morehouse was to apply for a writ of habeas corpus and s25 was needed He got the money, which he appropriated to his own use and purposes. He did more. Before leav- ing the house he went into Miller's bedroom and stole his gold studs and other articles of jewelry.

Tbe Composer Gives q PriVote Recital at Metropolitan
 TenDle

Those present at the private organ recital of Prof. F. G. Rohner yesterday afternoon at Metropolitan Temple were delighted with his rendering of his own composition, the Golden Jubilee March. Professor Rohner is a resident of Chi cago and one Of the best organists in the United States.
 The Lincoln Monument League in- tends to give him a reception next Sunday afternoon, to which the public in general and music lovers in parti- cular are invited.

The Knickerbocker quar- tette will sing and the professor will render the Jubilee March," which was written in anticipation of his visit to this coast during jubilee time.
 Professor Rohner is a composer of some note, having written several very pretty lullabies. His new march is full of fire and written in a style of his own. Mir.

DURRANT WEAKENS @ WHILE HE COUNTS THE FLYING HOURS  When Left Alone He Gives Way to Over
 Whelming Despair. 
 HIS GUARDS EXPECT COLLAPSE.
Another Disappointment From the Circuit Court, : Another Appeal to the Governor, but '*.* Little Hope in Either.

. The baleful influence of an ever present gallows is telling on Durrant and 1t is the belief of those who are closest to him that he will not be able 10 mount the steps of the scaffold un- assisted, should nothing occur to pre- vent the execution tomorrow.
 There are two sides to the prisoners character, and but one is shown to those who call to see him; when alone with his own thoughts, or with the watchful guards who by their presence remind him always of the approaching end, the horror of his situation gets the better of him, and the men of the death watch have seen him writhe on the floor in his anguish and they have / heard his cries of despair resound through the cell.
 It has been evident to every one who has seen Durrant since he was placed : in the condemned cell that he was breaking down, but beyond the mem .bers of the death watch no one knows how greatly he has changed. They say his outward calmness is assumed :: for the benefit of whoever is coming to . see him; that when he hears the ap- : pToach of any one he pulls himself to- *gether, strides up and down his cell for a few minutes and then meets his :visitor with something of his old time :: :brayado; and when he is left alone again the horror returns, and he throws himself on his mattress and :. sobs bitterly.

If the un- fortunate man must die, believe in letting him spend his last hours in peace, and will not submit to having him pestered. If any one does permit him to be seen 1t will not only be con- trary to my orders, but will also be a violation of faith and the breaking of a solemn promise"
 Another Guilty Map.
 The crank has not finished his work of attempting to divert suspicion from Theodore Durrant. Yesterday morning Coroner Hawkins received the follow ing letter scrawled with lead pencil on a soiled sheet of note paper:
 Jan. 4, 1898 Coroner Hawkins you will find the last of me in the Park near the Museum was born in Mayfield. Theodore Durant Is innocent 1 am the man who did ii remorse has seized me. You will find my credentials in my pockets locate Donald Ross.
 No autopsy to be held BYRON K. The Coroner only laughed at the note but telephoned out to the park police station and advised them to look foi a suicide, but has nothing from that quarter. The letter is evidently the work of some insane person who ha: let the Durrant case work on hi' nerves.

Can Do Nothing.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 5.-In discussing the report that one of Dur rants attorneys would arrive here to make last appeal in the case, an of ficer of the Supreme Court said that he could not imagine upon what grounds an appeal could be made, and he did not believe that any appeal or any sort of motion would be enter tained by the Court. He said that any further action would have to be in the Circuit Court, for the United States Supreme Court had already decided that it could do nothing.

E1GHT-HoUR DAY SCHEDULE.
Great Interest Felt in Statement of
Secretary Duncan at Kansas City.

Quincy Dec. 16--Great interest has
been aroused in this city over the
statement attributed to Secretary Dun
can of the Granite Cutters National
Union before the convention of the
American Federation of Labor at Kan
sas City that he wanted his organiza-
ton lead in a movement FOR an eight
hour working day, as we'll as by the
fact that the Granite Cutters Union
in this city has sent a notification to
the Manufacturers Association that a
new bill of prices win be asked for on
March /. The present agreement ter
inmates on that date. Under it's pro-
visions either party desiring q change
in any of the items of the bill. must
give notice three months in advance
This the granite cutters have done.
The new schedule calls for As hours
a week, a decrease OF two hours from
the present time, a minimum price of
80 cents an hour for skilled workmen,
an increase of four cents, time and a
half for all extra work, weekly pay
days and not more than two appren-
tees to every gang of IS journeymen.
AS far as the men and manufactur-
ers here are concerned, the best of
feeling prevails. The manufacturers
are of the opinion that the association
here is powerless to act without the
cooperation of other associations
throughout the country. They also
have expressed the desire that if it is
impossible to arrive at definite con-
clusion by March /, the men will keep
at work under the old bill of prices un-
til the details of the new schedule have
been adjusted.
