Political factions at Portland aro stlrrod up over alleged discoveries of rotten sower construction. Tho Simon faction aro trying to mako capital against tho Mitchell faction out of a defectlvo piece of sewer work. Tho mnttor is being exaggerated on both sides, nnd to hoar.aonv of tho outs talk, tlurc is a wholesome ora of cor ruption. It must bo plain to nil citizens that to resort to reform cries only to do up somo other clement in politics Is not reform. In pnrty politics reform comes about only when honest men nro put in con trol of political organizations. They must bo firm onough nnd hon est enough to stand off both tho boodlcr in politics and tho boodlor In citizen ship. For lot it bo said thpro is quite as much deslro on tho part of tho citizen to corrupt politicians ns thcro Is on tho part of tho politician to corrupt the government. A SOLVENT COMMUNITY. Lot all who will bo docolvod thereby follow tho trail of tho politician who howls about gnmblcrs and saloons. Tho fapt remains that this communi ty has less of thoso evils, and loss gen eral immorality than nny city on tho Pacific const. In another important fact this city is head and shoulders above any other city on tho coast. It is on a cash basis, and has low taxes. This city, this school district and this county are on a cash basis, and havo bcon reducing taxes nnd reducing old outstanding debts. While tho city of Portland irf heavily In debt, lias more than forty nulls taxos, and Is running deficits, hero tho oppo site prevails. Lot 4.1 bo understood, tho solvent cit izen and tho solvent community, thnt pays ns it goes, Is rcspcctnblo and cor- tain to prospor. Tho city that has nil its warrnnls stamped "not paid for wont of funds,' that has tho snmo stato of affairs in its school and county government, is pay ing from ton to twenty-flvo per cent premium for nil its services and expen ditures.

Tho donuind mado for n constitu tional government practically means tho bogiuuing of tho. end of Itusslnn absolutism. It is tho demand of tho common pooplo for a voice In tho af fairs of tho nation, a right that has been denied them in tho fnco of ad vanced civilization. Tho Itus.slnn despots cannot rofuso to hear tho cry of tho bono and sinow of tho emplro In tlmo of pcaco and war. On thoso people depends tho fu ture of tho czar's power, oven to thp preservation of his territory. Dark and stormy days aro aliond of tho great diplomats of tho ltussius, and tlioy will need tho help of tho musses to solvo tho many probloms presented them. If thoy turn n deaf enj tu tho appeals of tho petitioners they rnnnnf' expect assistance from thorn in times of trouble. Tho Kus sian loaders know thoso facts, -and thoy will grant concessions. How far thoy will roach, depends upon tho shrewd ness nnd foresight of tho oxor's ooun- sollors.

Now, however, It is stated that a number of actuaries and medical di rectors havo been working on stntis-1 effect would bo that if ho violated the tics running over a period of several warranty tho policy would bo void, years, and from tho rocords of a largo Tho companies also havo discussod a number of lifo insurnnco companies, J plan of including n provision that if several authorities havo como to tho tho limn should beeomo a drinker tho conclusion 'that tho total abstainers ns amount payable under tho policy n class llvo longer by from 20 to. 60 should bo such a sum as tho amount por cent than tho modcrato drinkers of premiums pnid would' havo. pur. as a class.

Ono of theso is tho danger that a man who is a total abstainor when he takes out tho policy may bo como n moderate, or perhaps immod erate drinker in tho future, which would upset tho figures of tho company if this should happen to many of tho holders of such policies. It is believed, howover, that this problem can bo solved in several ways.
