The Oregonian, P.-I. and other leading
republican papers are worrying them
selves good deal, and needlessly over
the question of what the democracy viii
or will not do in it's national convention
next year. The editors OF the above mem
toned papers must fnd this a most ex-
tremely fertile subject to kill space with,
for they must doubtless know that there
is far less uncertainty involved in the
position that is likely to be taken on ma
tional questions by the democratic party
than by the republicans themselves.
Everything indicates that the democrats
will have the same platform practically
as in 1896, with an additional strong
plank against imperialism. AS for the
republicans, nobody knows what they will
declare for, as their position OH the money
question is not sincere, and they are liza
BILE to get their bellies full of Imperialism
before convention time rolls around.-

The thief, Carter, who disgraced the
uniform of the United States army by
stealing MANY thousands OF dollars while
officer OF the Improvement OF
harbor, is still a member OF the
military establishment, says the lcono-
clast. More than year ago he was tried
by court-martal, found guilty and con-
demned to dismissal and to pay fine OF
IS 600. The court also suggested that
criminal proceedings against him be had.
The president is holding up the sentence.
Former Senator Eimunds was employed
to review the findings Of the court in the
hope of discovery of technical errors. lie
did not find any. His bill for the work
was IS, 900. and Alger had the miraculous
effrontery to endeavor to charge the
amount to the nationa, defense fund. In
other words, he sought to have the robbed
government pay the fee Of the robbers
counsel. Carter, who is widower, is
engaged to marry the daughter OF Frank
Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania
Railway Company. 1t is this influence
which, has kept him on the roll OF the
army and out Of Jail. If there were no
other crimes chargeable to them, Mckin-
lev should be defeated for denomination
and Alger should be consigned to obloquy
upon this case Of Garter alone. n more
impudent and Infamous defiance OF JUS
tice is not to be found in the history OF
this government.

public streets. This reminds us of "anti-

recent that it is strange the recollection
is not fresh enough to prevent an equally
futile attempt to stay the rubber-tred

THURSDAY. MARCH %, 1899.
A CARELESS LEGISLATURE.

The lac unlamented Legislature was so
busy electing man the majority OF the
people Of the state had never heard OF to
the United States senate; stopping the
passage of railroad bills and grating with
cinch bills that its legitimate duties were
entirely lost sight of. AS the record
comes to light this fact becomes painfully
evident. Owing to the failure of the
house to pass senate bill INA, it is alto
gether possible that no valid election for
superior judges can be held in 1900. So
far as this district is concerned this omis-
sion will work no hardship, the bench
being ably filled to the entire satisfaction
of the district But other parts Of the
state may not have been so fortunate in
the selection OF Judge in 1896.
Here is pertinent summary of some
of the slovenly methods pursued IS noted
by the special correspondent of the Seattle
Post-Inteligencer written last Saturday:
"The hasty and unsystematic methods
pursued by the clerks Of the senate and
house at the session just closed may yet
arise 10 haunt those officials. How the
record on the books of the docket clerk OF
the senate can make bill appear to have
passed both houses in the usual order and
sent to the governor, when the bill pass
ed but one house and was killed in the
other, is more than uncomfortable. Yet
this actually occurred in the case OF sem
ate bills Nos. so and 49, The senate docket
is clear and full on both bills that they
passed both houses and went to the ex-
ecutlve. Yet in both cases the record is
incorrect. Senate bill No. 80, by Plum
mer, Of Spokane, did pass the senate and
was sent to the house, where it was in
definitely postponed. The other bill, No.
SO, was Senator Preston's bill to provide
an adult home for the blind and carrying
an appropriation. This is the bill which
was go actively lobbied for by Capt. Beck,
the blind sea captain. This bill passed
the senate, was amended in the house,
and the senate failed to concur in the
amendments. The bill afterwards died
in conference committee. These facts
are obtained from the records.
"rhe action of the legislature on senate
bill No. 1856, the permanent school fund
bill, is different from it's action on Nos.
so and 49, This bill did pass both houses,
and the records show it. There is but
one element lacking to complete record
in the case Of this bill, and that is that
the minutes Of the house show that the
speaker of the house signed the bill in
open session. This omission may have
been due to the failure OF the journal clerk
to catch the announcement of Mr.. Cute
as he made it. 1t is this point which i'm
pels Mr.. Eshelman to the belief that the
bill was never enrolled. Ii this be the
case, it is unaccountabe why the docket
clerk should have completed the record
by writing in the blanks in his book the
fact that the bill had been returned from
the house and forwarded to the governor.
The whole affair is sad commentary on
the lack Of system which prevailed in the
bills, and particularly during the rush OF
the last day"

A BANK VAULT BLOWN OPEN.
The burglars. However. Failed to
Get Into the Safe.


Oberlin. Ohio. Feb. 1.-THE Oberlin
Bank Company's vault was entered by bur
glars early this morning No money was
obtained as the robbers failed to get into
the big safe. evidently for lack of time.
The trolley wire of the electric road runs
past the bank. The robbers tapped this
wire and carried the current into the bank
and 10 4 dry battery in the basement.
from which wires were run 10 an electric
drill at the outside door of the vaults.
After forcing this door the thieves in
serted a charge Of powder in hole made
with their electric drill and blew the in
terror of the vault into thousand pieces
The walls On all sides were badly shat
tered. plastering was torn off and the
vault doors were blown over twenty feet
out OF their place. The bank was entercg
by forcing the front doors. young man
Of the name of Rowe. a student in Ober-
lin College, was sleeping next door in a
jeweiry store, but the explosion did not
wake him. The door TO the jewelry store
was found this morning however barred
10 prevent any Interference with the
burglars in case Rowe was awakened by
the explosion.
The papers and books inside the vault
were badly damaged. The chances are
that the work was done shortly after !
O'Clock this morning, as the electric cur
rent is shut of from the trolley wires at.
1:i5 O'Clock in the morning No clew
whatever has been found 10 the robbers.
