Salem CITY Government.

Editor Journal:--It seems proper
that some one should defend the present
,itv administration if it is Republican
7 for one can say that it has been a,
e,aan and creditable an effort at city
government as any we have ever had
and so far there is no suspicion of
shortages by the treasurer or city re.
eorder and no charge Of grating
against any Of the aldermen. The city
officials have worked faithfully TO get
improvements made but have been
hampered at every turn by the so-called
Taxpayers league, that has objected to
about everything that has been under.
taken. Those gentlemen assure us they
are not in politics, but it remains fact
that they conducted a strenuous city
campaign to prevent construction Of
permanent bridges. Some Of the same
leaders declare that by the same vote
by which they defeated those bridges
they will defeat every man put up on
the Republican ticket for alderman at
the coming election. If that isn't
pretty near the political line, where do
they get Off atf
I have observed mental uneasiness in
certain quarters whenever there has
been an effort to get a settlement of
the old city administration financial
affairs. Thus far there have been
about seven different reports submitted,
each showing what was done with. the
cash, before the present Republican city
treasurer was installed. It is true
Frank Meridith is a Republican and he
Is not a hundred years old, but il at
at the end Of his term he does not come
pretty near being able to tell where his
cash is and, having a set Of books to
ihow for every cent he handles, have
NY guess coming. The Republican city |

PRESIDENT after "CRAFTERS"
CLERKS CANNOT DRAW DOUBLE PAY
Had too Good Thing Charging for Making Ac.
acknowledgements. Assistant Sec. of State
is Decorated by France

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The pres
ident has just taken cognizance Of on
OF the very worst cases of graft il
Washington. The order of the presi
dent is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that hereafter
no officer, clerk or employe in the ex.
ecutive service of the government, who
is also a notary public. shall charge OF
receive any compensation whatever for
performing any notorial act for an of
ficer, clerk or employe of the govern
ment. in his official capacity, or in any
terested or for any person when in the
case of such person the act is per-
formed, or for any person when in the
case Of such person the act is per-
formed during the hours of such no
I $ service in their government. Dis
ooeUience of this order shall be ground
for immediate dismissal from the serv-
ice"
This order of the president affects a
very large number of clerks in the gov
eminent service who have been making
a clear living off their notorial seals
while at the same time working for the
government. There Is a notary public
in almost every division of the govern
ment departments. It Is a matter Of
record that men drawing a salary Of
$1,000 year have made considerably
more than that off their notorial seals
and yet never left their desks at the
department. The practice has been to
charge from rs to 50 cents for each
acknowledgment of signature to
government contract, and some of these
notaries have used their seals as often
as twenty times day. The total foots
up nicely. The president as soon as
advised of what had been going on for
many years set about having a change
made. He thinks that when n clerk is
drawing salary from the United
States government, that government is
entitled to the use of the notorial seal
for noting, hence the order. There is
weeping and wailing over the order.

badge
However the American people may
feel toward the Russians and the part
they have been playing over beyond
the blue seas. there is but one feeling
toward Count Cassini. He is gen.
tleman and a statesman. of the very
best type. High minded, pure in life
and n stranger to the intrigue which
the foreign diplomat has often deemed
necessary to carry out his mission in
treating with the United States. he is
liked by everybody He is most demo-
cratic IN his ways, and takes a good
healthy human interest in everything
going. His sovereign has recognized
him most handsomely for the part he
has taken in this war business and the
calm, judicial and dispassonate man
ner in which he has preserved diplo-
matte relations with the United States
He has decorated the count with the
very highest medal of honor of the en-
pire, and it is safe to say that no man
in the empire will wear it more hon
orably.
Pretty, pale Countess Cassini, usu-
ally so rosy and bright. feels the woes
OF her country keenly. She has given
expression to her heart ache by wear
ing black a great deal this winter, when
she has seen fit to go out, but she has
not been at all gay. She has been ill
and, anyhow, has accepted very few
invitations. In the evening she wears
white with no touch of color, except
1t be black, and in the day time she
goes all in black. At the New Years
reception she wore black chiffon vel
vet, magnificent cables, and big black
velvet picture hat. She was a picture

ceivias Aid

President George H. Black of the
Lewiston Normal school returned SUM-
day from Boise where he has been for
week looking after the interests of
legislation for the school. The bill now
before the house is a bonding measure
providing the suance of $4,000 of
bonds on the normal school lands for
the purpose of erecting an eight grade
training school and physical training
department at the Normal.
Mr.. Black found the normal in good
repute among the members of the leg
islature who ARE willing to concede that
the institution merits all that can be
done for 1t in the way Of improvements
and for maintenance. Besides the APP
preparation or buildings the school is
asking 35s,ooo for maintenance for the
next two years work.
The spring semester in the training
department Of the Normal opens this
week. The. enrolment is such that
Miss King who has charge Of the pri-
mary grades has formed a new class
There is also an application for a new
class in the intermediate grade. Miss
Ingersoll has charge Of the latter
grades Work both in the Normal and
the Training department has begun
with prospects Of good results from
the work Of the ensuing semester.
Many new features are being introduced
in the training department and the lat
est is a new apparatus which will i'm |
prove the knowledge of the children in
geography. 1t is expected that from
time to time as the work Of this de-
partment increases that other improve
ments will be added.
During this semester a number of |
new courses have been introduced |
which include elementary physics. |
botany, Latin, algebra, sociology. eco
nomics and special methods.
The schedule has been changed al !
lowing longer time at the noon per-
iod which will enable the societies as

No Strike Probable.

Assurances are given by persons with
authority to speak that no strike among
anthracite coal miners will occur this
winter. The word comes from an officer
OF the American Federation of Labor
who says that even if conditions arise,
which, in John Mitchel's judgment,
makes a strike imperative, it will not go
into effect until after April, 1906, when
the agreement between the mine opera
tors and mine workers expires. "The
federation" it was said, "would not
stand for violation of an agreement
entered into in good faith between any
of lis affiliated bodies and the employers
of labor" The demands of the mine
workers will be pressed, however. They
will insist on an eight-hour day and the
official recognition by the mine opera
tors of the United Mine Workers ma
fional association. Unless these de-
mands are granted the mine workers
declare they will, at the close of the
agreement, shut down every anthracite
mine in the United States.

Credit of Country Injured


The injury to Americas credit among
Europeans, by reason Of the recent LIE
insurance and cotton report scandals,
was vigorously described yesterday by
Hamilton Wright Matte, one OF the edi-
tors Of the Outlook, who arrived al New
York on the North German Lloyd
steamship Grosser Kuffurst after sum
mer spent in German and France. In
discussing the effect of the scandals Mr..
Mabie said at makes an honest
Americans checks flush with shame to
stand by, rs did, and hear German or
French m6I of affairs sheer at what they
call American swindling. The worst OF
it is that the facts are bad enough. Why,
the men in the Equitable Assurance So
ciety, who are responsible for that scau-
daI, and those who engineered the cot
ton leak at Washington have committed
felonious assault IN the honor and imam
cial integrity of the country. Nothing
has ever happened in this country to so
injure the standing of American hnan-
cial projects abroad. The effect OF the
insurance exposures will be felt all over
Europe, but the cotton scandal has
caused the greatest comment in Ger
many, where many thousands of marks
have been lost in cotton speculation. AS
soon as the news OF the cotton leak came
to Germany, investors could not say
enough TO express their contempt for a
government department that allowed
one branch of its scientific work to be
devoted to fleeing investors.
