George Rankin and Mr.. w. T.. Lee. If

after hunting for some time without

Our nation is passing through grea,
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one Of territorial expan.
sion. or whether we arc to remain alooi
from International complications, Is the
supreme question confronting our Con
rress. The attention Of the world Is di-
rected toward us. The deliberations OF
eur Congress have come 10 be OF inter
national importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
1s that relate only TO home interests.
Chief among them is the health OF our
people. Catarrh has already become a
national curse. It's ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half Of
tho people a. affected by 1t. II has be-
come such serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries OF the medical
profession and become a national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about 1t;
Congressman are discussing IL. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature OF the disease, but the
possibility of finding n national remedy
to meet this national calamity.

lrwo Methods Of Disposihg OF A"'
Used BY Salem Officers.
Since the warm days Of spring nave
csf5e many hubos are travelling in ootD
dir.c,ions This morning when the
ovsrland arrived in this city it had
Isapv of these men on board and aiter
The train pulled out nine of them were
fpft in the city These men generally SIT
around in the neighborhood Of the depo.
40 they can catch the first train tha'
leaves the city. ,.
They are almost all young men IRON
II to 80. They are all able'bodieu anu
mile 10 work and are full-hedged tramps
and are not looking for work
How TO deal with these men is prop
lem but IL is very evident that there
is no profit for the taxpayer in rounding
them up and bringing them down town
At quite an expense to the county and
Wen sending them TO jail for week
to run up another bill against the
county for board.
True, there is a profit for the pre-
cinct in that method Of dealing with
them, but this only results in a strong
temptation to work that business as
graft.
Il is said that on Bryan day an officer
rounded up lS of the gentry in one
empty house; but instead Of running
them down to the justice court he warned
them out Of town, and this saved bill
Of expense for the county and rid the
city of the tramps just the same.
This morning, however, he brought
two vagrants before Justice Johnson,
who consigned them to the county jail
for q week.
Chief Of Police Gibson also made a
haul this morning and brought five
weary Willes before Recorder Judah on
a charge of yagrancy under the city ordi-
nance.
The recorder came down on each OF
them with n fine Of $40 or 20 at hard |
labor. Then he suspended sentence for
30 minutes, and the five travellers sim
ply hit the high places in their haste to
get away from the city. This costs
neither the city nor county cent.
State cases could easily have been
worked up against these vagabonds,
which would have cost the county some
$50 in fees, but the present city admin.
Istration aint built that way.
The city officers hereafter propose to
work this class on the alleys under the
OF the street commissioner,
N Cases where they serve a sentence,
Ind thus make them pay for their keep
As work is their especial horror, this
will prove an awful warning to avoid
his city.

Construction Of Mechanical Hall.
The board Of regents Of the Oregon
Agricultural College. is defendant in 9
suit brought In the circuit court by II.
N. Eley, Of Salem, contractor for the
construction Of Mechanical Hall. He
seeks 10 recover 1862, alleged balance
due on account, and $40 damages, to-
gether .Eitb the costs and disbursements
Of the proceeding.
The contract specified that the. build
ing should be completed WYNN 100
working days-that is, days in which
climatic conditions we're such as to add
mit Of work on the building. The
Ibu.lding was not accepted by tbs-build-
ing committee Of the board until seveSal
weeks after tho expiration Of the 100
working days, and demurage Of $3.50
was exacted, under the provisions ofthe
contract.
In his complgint, Elsy alleges that the
delays in completion we're caused by
changes in the Building ordered by the
architect, and otherwise. He asks
judgment for the demurrage and for $ll2
balance for putting in ventilating stacks
and plasteriDg fhe machine shops, for
which he was allowed but one.half,
neither being provided for in the con-
tract.
II lie understood that the treasurer of
the board holds receipt, in which Mr..
Eley acknowledges the final payment Of
all claims against the college for the
construction Of the Mechanical hall.

THE FIGHT ON HALL.
Push Editor Airs His Grleyanees Against
the County Clerk Of Marion County.

Push Editor Airs His Grievances Agsins,
the County Clerk Of Marion County.
II the opposition party or parties
shall not put up less competent and
deserving man, the Statesman hopes
the Republican candidate for county
clerk may be defeated at the polls. He
has given the county very poor adj
ministration Of that Office. lie has
used IL as a private snap for himself, his
family and his fayortes. He agreed 10
the platform Of the party in the last
campaign, promising reduction Of sail
aries. Then he lobbied in the legisla-
ture against the bill, and threatened 10
invoke the constitution against the re-
duction, after IL had been made by that
body. Perhaps this il the best that can
be had this year from the political wheel
Of fortune. But, for the eake Of good
faith In the public service, and for the
sake Of efficiency, let us hope for some
thing better.--statesman.
The above from the old machine organ
is only what has been expected by Mr..
Halls friends who know its animus. 1t
has been known from the beginning Of
Mr.. Halls term as county clerk that
the editor OF the Statesman has had
q grievance at that gentleman for one
reason only, and that because Mr.. Hall
had the courage NOT TO LET BOB
HENDRICKS NAME HIS DEPUTY
CLERK.
The assertion that Mr.. Hall has
"giyen the county very poor admins
tration Of the office" may be true, but
reporters Of this paper, who visit the
court house daily aud hear complaints
from al. manner Of sources about every
body shortcomings, real and imaginary,
have never been made aware Of any
complaints against Mr.. Halls admins
tration. The Statesman will probably
point out wherein Il is justified in
making this charge.
The charge that Mr.. Hall has used
his office "as private snap for himself,
his family and his fayorites, will
make people smile, Tor Il is
known that his only offenss
in this line is that he didn't conduct the
Office as "private rnap" for Bob Hen.
bricks, his relatives and personal favor
ties. The talk about Mr.. Hall lobbying
Tor a raise Of salary Ia untrue, for Mr.
Hall surprised even his friends by reius-
Ing 10 do anything Of the sort.
Now, while this is only personal fight
against Mr.. Hall by man who couldn't
handle him, body and soul, IL Is only a
matter Of justice that moves THE JouR.
NAL TO state the above plain facts which
are patent 10 all informed persons. The
suggestion that II the opposition puts up
man Of the right kind Mr.. Hall should
be defeated will cause another smile, for
everybody knows il would be- difficult 20
find one Of the right kind for the late
Republican county chairman, unless be
were 10 become that manipulator's per
