THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL.

The republicans see the Handwriting
on the wall and it takes no Daniel to
decipher it for them. Senator Gull
lom is the first to notify his party that
he understands it and favors needing
the warning in time. That there must
be tariff revision in the near future,
the republicans now begin to under
stand. Public sentiment in its favor is
growing stronger day by day. This
sentiment will soon take more positive
form in the shape of a general demand
irrespective of party. Senator Cullom
and the republicans b agree with
him fear that If there is not a revis-
ion of the tariff "by its friends" in the
sixtieth congress the reform will ne
brought about by the democratic ma
iority and it's president in the sixty
first. The temper Of the people as
shown by the results Of the late cleo
ton has warned them that their party
must do something to pacify the people
and head off the tendency toward in-
d~eDendentism iB fbefr ranks, and must
80 out 1t off until the revolt has zone
too far to be checked. They See that 1t
loo Ior I'd take
is better that their party shou-
up the reform measure as o as
possible and this is why the Illinois
senator advocated an extra session or
the next congress Immediately upon the
expiration Of the present, in March
next.
It Is said that much depends on the
position the president takes on the
question in his message to congress
Mr.. Roosevelt has shown that he per-
sonally favors revision, but he was
forced by heavy pre-" .1re from the
stand patters ~ avoid the question.
With the growing public sentiment III
;ts favor he may be encouraged TO
aopin take it up. If he does SO the
,evjsionists in the sixtieth congress VIII
win. We do not believe he Will oppose
II If he ignores it, then its advocates
Will take courage liOLi Aio
make a bold fight with increasing pros
poets of success.
There are many republicans who faV'
or tariff revision because they thint
the business of the country is suffer
ing for the lack of it. There are Others
who do not want to see a single la'ls'
of the Dingley bill amended, but az
afraid to persist in saddling the pres
ent high tariff on the people, lest tn
growing sentiment against it Shout
become so strong as to cast their part
from power.

The Charlotte Cb.onicle has doubts
about the negro who killed the five
men in Asheqj,le being the Mecklen-
burg t.esperadc, VIII Harris. 1t says
bis n iii committing crimes here
was not at all similar to the bold
faction of the Asheville murderer. The
sheriff of M~ecklenburg and the chief OF
police of Charlotte, who are thorough
lily acquainted with Harris criminal
Irecord have their doubts also. The
Chronicle says:
It is the opinion of both Sheriff n.
w. Wallace and Chief of Police II. =.
Irwin. who are thoroughly posted on
the habits and characteristics OF the
ldesperado, Will Harris, that the ne
lgro who played so much havoc at
baskerville last night with a Savage
rifle is not Will Harris. These two
loffcers state that Harris vas never
known to do anything in the open
He was a crOuching criminal, always
in hiding and ever ready to shoot ms
lpursuers from ambush, but he was
lnever bold enough to face an assailan1
or anyone on his trail. Harris RECORD
lin this country, his many successful at
Itempts in eluding officers, his shooting
without warning and his underhandeo
methods in accomplishing any end

HOW TO
IMPROVE
STREETS
Eugene Man Offers a Good
Suggestion

Beauty costs less according TO its
value than does almost anything.
To beautify a city means to make 1t
attractive TO the rich and progress
siye as nothing else will. Inasmuch
as the streets of city are most in
public eye these should receive first
and paramount attention and being
public property they should be
handled at public expense and with
uniform method. Eugene has very
good streets for country city, but
during a large part OF the year they
are far from beautiful. The weeds
and grass that are allowed to grow
up In the residence districts give
them a worse appearance than neg
lected country lanes, for with the
latter the farmers stock keep these
growth largely subdued
To remedy this evil suggest the
city council should provide by ordi-
nance for moving the weeds and
grass at the proper times by ma
chine. on contracts to the lowest
bidders. This can be done very
cheaply and with uniform neatness
that would be great improvement
over the present place of ordering !
zach individual lot owner to cut the |
weeds in front OF his property. The |
present plans works a hardship on
women. cripples and others who can
lot WELD a scythe and in cases OF alb
tent owners. results in neglect or
heavy expense disproportionate to
he improved appearance of the
treet and frequently leaves enough
eers to ripen for the pollution OF
he whole city rendering useless the
forts OF others to rid their premises

REFORM
SCHOOL
BOYS
Knocked Out Two Farmers
and Robbed jefferson
Store

Ernest Evans and Roy Espey, the
two boys who ran away from the re.
form school Sunday afternoon, are
creating a kind of miniature reign
of terror along the Santiam river
and in the nelghborhood of Jeffer-
son.
They broke open the store of
! Smith & Jones. at Jefferson, last
night and took some clothing and a
| lot of other things. That is, the
theft is supposed to have been COM
mitted by these boys. They have
been seen in the vicinity of Jefferson
this morning, and, from advices from
that town, Superintendent Looney
believes he will have the boys in Gus
tody before night
Evans was sent to the reform
school a short time ago from Rose
burg, and is said to be a refugee
from California. He is II years old,
and is a bad boy.
Espey was sent TO the school from
Portland, and would have gone to
the penitentiary instead had he been
few months older. He struck
man with a hammer, and is said to
have killed him. He was thought to
be too young for the penitentiary.
Since leaving the school they have
made poor progress, and have not
travelled over 90 miles. They were
seen yesterday morning on the Linn
county side of the Santiam river. !
Two farmers who saw them the ev.
ening before on the Marion county |
side of the river. tried to arrest |
them, but the boys turned on the |
farmers and are said to have knocked |
them out in short order, and then
escaped into the woods.
Late in the night the boys crossed
over into Linn county again, tried to
buy bread and stole a peck of ap-
Pies.
Mr.. Bruer, Of the reform school,
and Constable John Catlin have been
on the boys trail for two days.
