The Republican campaign managers
through the 0regonian claitn 10 show by
the above that they have kept their pledge
to reduce county expense slo,o 600 a wear
in 1898. Their pledge was 10 reduce
$4,000 year on salaries Of county Of
ficers. The legislature reduced the sal-
aries some, but the people got no benefit
from It because the Republican county
officials proceeded TO raise the tar lew
to collect more taxes than ever before AZ
the record will show.

Governor Robert Stewart, once governor
Of Missouri. was one Of tho kindiest Of
mon, relates the Saturday Evening Post.
He had risen from lowly life to a position
Of eminence through his own efforts and
never forgot the days when he had to work
hard for a bare subsistence. When he
was in the gubernatorlal chair a steam
boat man was brought in from the peni-
Tertiary as an applicant for pardon. lie
was a large. powerful fellow and when
the governor looked at him he seemed
strangely affected. He scrutinized him
long and closely. Finally he signed the
document that restored the prisoner to
liberty. Before he handed IL to him he
said you will commit some other crime
and be in the penitentiary again fear"
The man solemnly promised that he would
not. The governor looked doubtful, unused
a few minutes and said:
you will go back on the river aud be
a mate again, ! suppose?"
The man replied that he would.
We'll, | want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. II want
you to pledge your word that when you are
a mate again you will never take billet
OF wood in your hand and drive a sick boy
out of a bunk to help you load your boat
on a stormy night" The steamboat man
said he would not, and inquired what the
governor meant by asking him such q ques-
tion.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become a governor and
you may want him to pardon you for q
crime. One dark, stormy night some years
ago you stopped your boat on the Missis-
sippi river to take on a load OF wood
There was boy on board who was work
ing his passage from New Orleans TO ST.
Louis. but be was very sick of fever and
was lying in bunk. You had plenty OF
mon TO do the work, but you went to that
boy with a stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out into
the wretched night and kept him toiling
like slave until the load was completed
