Person who Took the Revetment Cable
is Subject to it-What the Law
Saws.

The person who took the cable
from the government revetment
across the river from Corvallis, is
subject to very heavy fine, and
imprisonment to match. If any
person can discover the facts and
secure conviction, a very handsome
reward will be paid by the United
States government, III case such
detection is secured. The fine for
the act is not less than $500 with a
maximum of s.. 500, and the in
1ormant gets half the amount.

States engineer, stationed at Port
land, and supervising officer of
the Corvallis revetment, has fur
nished the TIMES with copy of the

MAY CHANGE SMYTH BILL

After Mr. Wilson had. finished
Councilman Allen asked the city
attorney a number of questions
touching the right of the city to
grant an exclusive franchise, and
the claim Of the local company to
an existing franchise. Mr. Yates
gave it as his opinion that the coun-
Gil has a right to grant Smyth a
franchise. He had no doubt,
though the charter was silent on
the subject. The right to grant
such franchise is implied and the
principle thoroughly established in
the courts. As to an exclusive
franchise, he said in Texas, a court
had held that any exclusive fran
chise is monopoly, and unconstitu-
tional. However, in nearly all the
towns and cities Of Oregon, exclu-
siVe franchises are continually
granted. He doubted 8 the pro-.
priety in the case of granting an
exclusive franchise. The pipes of
the local company are already in
the ground. If the city grants
an exclusive franchise to Smyth,
the latter may require the city to
makes its contract good and de-

THE PENSION VETO.

Governor Montague has done We'll to
veto the joint resolution setting aside
seq, 600 for Confederate pensions. lie Will
probably be severely criticised in some
quarters for having vetoed this measure,
but the argument which he makes III the
veto message is unapswerable. The State
Of Virginia is going to take care OF her
disabled Confederate veterans, but IT
seems to us absurd for the Legislature to
make an appropriation for this purpose,
and, rs the Governor puts it. ito I'M
round so large a sum for the pensions
before the new pension bill has been
PASSED. 1t all has too much the appear
ance OF a grab and the General Assem-
bly, has greatly prejudiced the cause Of
veterans by pursuing such a course.
Governor Montague's course is not the
nop,,lar one at first sight, but it is based
on q conception of his duty and the con-
stitutional requirements of his Office as
the possessor OF the veto power. This
conception Of the spirit in which such
questions ought to be approached is bound
to commend itself to the judicious and

Mr.. FORD's ACCOUNT.
Tie Tells How He Was Assaulted and Robbed
Late Wednesda Might.

Mr.. E. T.. Ford, of No. 525 North Twen-
ty-ffth Street, who was assaulted and
robbed late Wednesday night, gives a
vivid account of the exceedingly I'M
pleasant and mystifying affair.
He says he was in Bakers saloon. on
Fifteenth near Franklin. and it was
about 1880 when he lost the run OF
things He had taken just one glass of
beer, when he left the place. and was as
sober as he ever was in his life. He
remembers the man who was with him
the young dudish-iooking individual who
said he was from Baltimore. He be-
lieves that he is the man who took so
much pains to steal his watch, chain and
diamond pin and al! the money he had
on his person, and then cash his throat
and otherwise disfgure and injure him.
The police are inclined to the same opin-
ion and if Sergeant Hall ever gets his
eye on the man he will put that pow
erful hand of his also on him. No arrest
has yet been made. though Sergeant Hall
thinks he is closing in or his man.
The assault and robbery occurred in
#Lumpkins Bottom, which is notorious
for the bad things that happen there.
Mr. Ford was resting very well last
night and will be able to get out in

tho quality Of its goods. And the fact
that thu South has been able to create
and successfully maintain corporation
OF this size atgurs well for the future
industrial development of this section Of
our section of the country. SIS a5
The tide Of wealth will have to rise
very high and come In very fast for
the Southern people to even keep pace
with the growth OF wealth in those sec
tons which did not suffer the severe
destruction Of property caused by the the!
war between the States. In a recent
speech before the Richmond Educational
Association. DR.. sMcIvor pointed out the
astounding fact that the South has only.
five and one-half billions Of dollars. he
ing just about what it had in 1860, while
the North has more than auadrupled Its
wealth during the same period, and is
to-day possessed of between twenty-five
and thirty billions Of dollars Of prop
esty. So we have a long road to travel
before we can catch up. But we have
the same stock and resources that brought
our first wealth and power and develop
ment along industrial lines of the last
few years. as shown by the railroad con-
solidation, the growth of the cotton mills
and the prosperity OF such a corporation
as the Virginia Carolina Chemical Com
pany, shows that the tide of wealth has
again set towards the Southern people,
and it remains only for us to work with
diligence and with discretion to insure
a return OF civilization which will
rival, though On different lines. that
which was destroyed in the failure Of
the Confederate cause.

A POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

The disgrace of yirginia-tile Virginia
spcnitentiary-is now being advertised far
ard wiee. The Virginia newspapers take
1,o pleasure in saying evil things about
The State, but where evil exists it is the
crts of the press to expose it, and the
Virginia penitentiary is an evil that is
eyer present.
Che Mobile (Ala.) Register reproduces
an article on this subject from The Times,
a..G after describing the horrible coHdi-
lion at the penitentiary, says:
Moreover, when the men fail sick, and
are taken to the hospital. they are not
in much better situation. for the hospital
itself is in the same close, confined court
yard, and thus in touch with the germ
laden air coming from the cells. No VOL
der that men can die in such a place so
easily. Nc wonder that so many come
OIL from there broken down in health
larG spirits when they entered it strons,
active men.
Virginia cannot afford longer to toler-
ate this horror 1t was, almost as much
as anything else, the horrors of prison
life in Cuba under Spanish rule that
aroused the indignation of the American
people and drove them to arms. But the
Virginia penitentiary is as bad as Moro
csstle ever was. and it is reproach to
The State.
u. speaking of this some time ago
good woman OF Richmond said that She
had heard SO mich about the penitcn-
Eary that she had finally reached the
point where she felt that she herself was
personally responsible for the suffering
ne the convicts unless she did everything
In her power to relieve them We would,
irapress that fact upon the members of
the General assembly. Each and every
member of lat body is personally re-
s;,onsible TO ~ Creator of us all for the
suffering of thssse poor wretches in prison
unless they do everything in their power
to relieve their distress.

YIRGlNlA,S urPOR. UNITY.

The Times believes in economy in gov
ernmcnt and holds that the members of
the General Assembly should be very
careful how they appropriate the money
of the taxpayers for this purpose or that.
II is q crime for those who are entrust-
ed with these sacred duties to waste or
misapp,y the funds of the people. But
it is not only right, but that it is the
duty of tie General Assembly to make
provision for suitable exhibit from
Virginia at the st. Louis Exposition.
This exposition will be the greatest the
world has ever seen, as was abundantly
shown by Professor Henry T. Kent,
native of Virginia, but now q resident
Of ST. Louis, in his recent address in this
city before the joint committee of the
House and Senate.
Professor Kent called attention to the
fact that the sum of s1S,0oo0oo has been
raised for this exposition, and that added
to this will be the appropriations of diff
ferent States and foreign governments,
together with money to be expended by
exhibitors, which will make, it is esti-
mattel an tSI crdit'.re CT over $4,000, 600
before the gates are opened. This sum
is considerably in excess OF that which
was spent on the Chicago Fair, and the
St Louis people have the advantage of
Chicago's experience. It will be the
greatest exposition the world has ever
seen. and it comes at a time when the
people of this country have more than
ever they had to exhibit.
Professor Kent emphasized the fact
that the st. Louis Exposition will be
only consists in the material betterment
Of the people, but in their Intellectual
and spiritual welfare as we'll Without
doubt the chief advantage Of every eX-
position is education. You become adj

The exposition as place Of amuse-
ment is not so popular as! it.; formerly
was, but the exposition as an educator
is growing in popularity with men who
are interested in education. We be-
l;eye that the ST. Louis Exposition will
be attended by more people Of TINS
character than any other exposition that
We have had They will go there to see
how the country is progressing, to see
the new inventions, to see the exhipits
from this State and that. and if Viz
ginia has an exhibit that is worthy or

whose attention is worth having.
