cle was issued and today its puhlishers
send forth to tho world the first number
of its second volume. The story of its
origin, needs no rehersal here. "Suflieo
it that tho merehants and business men
of The Iallei Mieved there was a mis

up with and inseparable from the in
terests of the whole community. It is
with no dctiiro to stir up unpleasant rec
ollections that we remind our readers
that lieforo the advent of tie Ciiko.mcmc
tlie press of this city had descended to
the level of a narrow ami miserabio fac
tionalism where it is still bound as firmly
as the prince of darkneps in the lsion
of tho npocalypc. The rights of tho
fmajor portion of the community were
ignored and tho columns of at least one
journal teemed with dally denunciations
of everything aiid everybody who could
not as the censorship of its imperial
los. In this unhappy condition the
Ciikoxiclk became the child of neces
sity. It had to be born. A field of use

The ttsto lxv.rd of tquuliiition is
co!!)p!aii.i!i2 that some of the. ast-circ rs
have teturned a ri.licnlotiyly small num
ber of jjll taxes. Thin f howt that the
giutlci.ien com jKi.-iirs the board never
had any experience collecting poll Uses.
If they had had they never y.ouM tay a
word about them. The law that re
quires au !isra-sor to eolhet a joil tax
of one doll.ir from nil nsali) iuhnhitauts,
! not exempt, belween the ages cf L'l nnd
.V.) U in every way ridiculous and absurd.
Tl'e ,aw u,k'i, il the "utJ yf cesc?or
to collect it but gives him no power to
do to. If a man refuses to pay tho tax
it Js tiie duty of tho assessor to report
forthwith to the sheriff and it then be
comes the t-heiitrs duty to travel a
hundred milt s, if need be, toTcollect that
single dollar, a thing that nobody in his
sense's would expect, that nfUclul to do,
especially us he would have to make the
trip at his own ex fen sc. 'JHten the
assessor is con fronted with this difficulty.
If he attempts t-i collect from cvcrylnxly
idilltd to. pay, the cost to the county
will overcome the profit, not to tuy that
few assessors have tho time to waste
running after dollars they have no cer
tainty of finding. If the assessor does
tho best ho can it will amount to this,
and no more; Those who are willing to
pay tho tax, pay it anil the rest go free.
This of course, does yot apply to per
sons who pay u property tas. .In all
such caws the poll tax is added to the"
other tax on the assessment roll. Iu a
word tho poll tax law is a farce. In
half the instances or nearly so, It cannot
be collected at all. It thus lacks the
equality and uniformity demanded in a
ust law. It should be abolished or the
amount Increased to a sum worth spend
iim the time to collect and the assessor j rapacious, cruel, hypocritical and tyran
given fall anthority of law to collect it, j uical missionary ring and their tool the
but better in our opinion abolish it alto-' queeu." It is safe to say that Mr. Blaine

question from becoming an iinprtant is
sue in t lie coming presidential campaign.
It has long been taken for granted that
the present session of congress will at-
tempt to pass a free coinage bill, and no
one doubts its ability to do so. In the
house the democrats have a majority of
three-fourths. In the the senate a suf
ficieut'namher of far western lie publi
cans are pledged to free coinage to make
it iossible to pass the measure in that
body. A free coinage bill has been al
ready Introduced and it is announced
that the republican will content them
selves w ith voting and speaking against
it tuit will attempt no speech-making to
kin time or filibustering or intriguing to
prevent a vote. They will simply act so
as to loave all the responsibility of the
measure on the democrats. If the
democrats assume this responsibility
the president will certainly veto-the bill
and as they cannot command a sufficient
majority to over-ride the veto tho ques
tion will bo carried into tho campaign.
In that event it 3 hard to determine
what the result may be. Whatever
strength free coinage may liavo in the
far west it will undoubtedly meet with
bitter opposition iu the money centers
of the cast ; but the democrats can pasj
a frot! coinage bill if they want to and it
will be interesting to watch what will
be done with tho opportunity.
It is by no means certain that the
Chilian trouble will end j-caec&bly.
Notwithstanding the assurance of Minis
ter Montt that Chili docs not want war
and that justice would be done in the
Baltiruoro affair, late dispatches inti
mate that the Chilians aro lcnt on re

The prospect. for jeaceful times in the
Sandwich Islands is not promising. The
islands seem to lie infested with a se t of
professional revolutionists who, it may
be believed, are working the game of
overthrowing tho government, for all
there i.- in it, for themselves. One of
them at tho Washington end of the line
says "tho revolution will be sprung
whcii?.lr. I'.iamo gives assurance that
the United States will not be allowed to
interfere" which appears to mean that
the revolutionists want permission to
demolish what thev call the "mean.
Tlfe Ortgonian believes there Is no

a democratic consrress. nor. it might have

genator Polph addressed the people of
The Palles, while on a visit here last sum
mer, he distinctly pointed outthedifli-
culty of getting congress to make any Im
provements not of a pernfanent nature,
lie said it was contrary to all precedent.
A portage railroad ft best was only a
temporary expedient and" congress was
not accustomed to deal in anything short
of permanent works. But if Governor

did nottako the least bit of "diligent in
