It Is nppiircnt from several articles recently published in the Oregon lau tlmt a movement is on foot tmiong the money loiiucra to procure the re peal of tho "Mortgage Tax Law." A similar effort was jnatle through tho medium of Mint paper some years ago, and very Boon after the law whs enacted. The same reasons for its repeal were then assigned that now appear in these articles : To-wit: That it will drive money out of the stato and make Interest high. These predictions have not come to pass. Money is still here to bo had in all cases when good secu rity can bo ofl'ered ; and interest is more reasonable than In Washing ton Territory, Just across tho Colum bia. More money is now in the market to be loaned to fanners on mortgage than it Is prudent for thein to borrow, even if Interest were lower. The object of these ar ticles is to create n public opinion that will remove all taxes from money and credits, and this idea crops out in all these articles. It is tho earnest desire of tho capitalists, (as moneyed men stylo themselves) to Bliift all the taxes from theinsolves on tho producing classes. And as Micro are a number of capitalists elected to tho next legislature, they evidently think now is tho time to Hccuro indemnity from taxation, and fix further burdens on tho produc ing classes. That class of property known as credits, bonds, mid stocks which these moneyed men use to mako great prollts is, together with tho money of tho country (which is mostly in their possession), yielding to its owners an annual Income-of larger per cent, than land owned and worked by actual fanners, and Is belter able to bear tho burden of taxation. This personal property of the capitalists needs and has more pro tection from tho laws ; and contests us to its title are mora frequent in tho courts than contests about land. Still these men desire to place all tho burdens of maintaining and en forcing tho laws for tho protection of this property on land and tangl hie property. This exhibits a de gree of selfishness and greediness well worthy of these Plutocrats, whose en pucltyof deglutition expends with the ever Increasing quantity of wealth otlerod to their capacious Htomachs, that never yet wore so tilled an to cause a single comfortable grunt signifying satiation. N. E. Tjik Philadelphia cremation com pany continues to hold out strong Inducements to people In that town to die and get Incinerated. Tho price of cremation, notwithstanding tho cold weather, has been reduced to ?2S per body, That is the pros ent market value of ono Blmro of stock. Ono share of stock Is accept ed In exchange for ono cremation Now Is tho tlmo to go to glory. Four llu.i., S.

THE COLORKD MAN AGAIN. Benjamin Butler, talking on tho newly ra'sed question, says tho negro should be made a wholo man, not half a one, and that all offices should be open to him ; but, In an swer to a question presented to him, whether it would bo proper to put a negro In Harrison's cabinet, answer ed, "Is ho not a man and a brother?" Burton R. Wilson, a prominent colored man of Boston, says the re publicans cannot succeed without the colored vote, and thinks now tho party has an opportunity to prove itself by Harrison's appoint ing a colored man to the cabinet." lie favors Fred Douglass or John It. Lynch. Editor Powell, of the Advocate, said tho colored men think them selves entitled to representation in the cabinet, and he favored cx- Scnator Blanche K. Bruce. Bishop A. W. Wayland of the African M. E. church, says the time is not yet ripo to admit negroes to administrative positions. "Wo uoii'i expect suou umigs, uu uiu, after declaring that the race was not yet sufficiently developed. , .. i i. n.f it i. t.i Joseph E. Brisco said ho did not think it would bo politic to place a colored man In the cabinet. A HOOV TO WlIALKUJiN. A petition has been presented to congress by Senator Stauford, from tho chamber of commerce of San Francisco, calling tho attention of congress to tho urgent need of a per manent relief station In the Arctic ocean. The petition says the whal ing ilectsiitMng out at San Francisco aro steadily Increasing and many hundred lives and millions of dol lars worth of properly are exposed to the unusual danger in the pursuit of whaling in the Arctic. Tho re lief stations should be supplied with provisions, fuel, stores, heavy cloth ing and life-saving appliances. Tho petition says It will be a great boon to Arctic whalemen. Saluu seems to bo booming. A large number of home-seekers aro comlnir in on every train, and all aro delighted both with tho locality and the climate. Ileal estate is rapidly changing hands, and largo holdings aro being divided into small places for homes aud fruit farms. The citizens aro catching the spirit of progress audi enterprise and aro putting In street railways.

Jami:s Scott, author of tho Scott liquor law, died at Lebanon. Ohio, Dee. 17th, aged 78. Under this law, passed in 181, Ohio liquor doalers paid taxes to tho amount of nearly $2,OUO,000. In 1884 a supremo court decision inado the law uncon stitutional and tho taxes were re funded. In 1885 a modified law was passed. "Ai'i'i.i: Mahy," was led to the bar of tho Court of General Sessions, New York, Dec. lilst, greatly fright ened, and after a mock examination was presented with $21 from court attendants ; over $40 was collected in the other courts.

Mr. Bennett Is successful as principal of the Staytoti public school, and says he has 110 scholars enrolled. A few of the students have not yet returned from their holiday so journ, but more of the new students have entered and more are expected Boon. Some of the young ladles and gentleman took New Years dinner and spent tho day with Prof M. V. Itork. pastor of the Unitarian Church. Prof, and Mrs. Itork proved to be fine hosts and the students were highly pleased with their entertain ment. Tne University received twenty six volumes of Bancroft's History of the Pacific Coast, the first of the week. These books, with tho excel lent libraries of the lato Drs. Rob erts and AVilbur, which have re cently been placed in the University library, have added much to its worth, and many good books are being read. Leap year can scarcely be bald to have been a failure among old time students, as between a dozen and a scoro of them have embraced the golden opportunity and bid farewell to single blessedness and entered tho state of blissful matrimony. Tho toachors with a host of studeuts give them a warm congratulation, and may this year be pleasantly re membered with no regrets. o RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. CiTJinnKiiANn I'msnvTEiiTAV.
