With this issue my connection with Thk Chronicle ceases. Sixteen months ago, without an iiours previous exper ience at newspaper work, I took charge of its colum ns. Whatever mistakes may have been made during that time must be attributed to the head and not to the heart. ; It was my." intention first, last and all the time, to stand unflinchingly with the people and their interests. Bat the record is behind me and cannot be altered now. If any good has been accomplished the dearest satisfaction wjll be the consciousness of having striven to do right. I bespeak for my successor the support so cordially awarded to me.; High Ooiki.av. Lovers of art, no less than the catholic At an immense indignation meeting world, are deeply interestedin the an-I at the Portland tabernacle Saturday nouncement that Pope Leo is to con- ! night, emphatic resolutions were adopted Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, be. longs to a precise family. : Recently Col. Harry Russell called on his brother, .the governor, at the state house, and was ushered into the executive chamber in his turn in the conventional manner. A friend who was in the outer office, eays that he was somewhat amused. a the greeting between the two brothers "Good morning, colonel," the governor reaid, rising to meet Harry. "Good .morning, your excellency," said Harry with all the dignity of a subaltern mem ber of the stafl'accosting his commander- in-chief. The governor and the colonel invariably address each other, even on informal public occasions, after the ac cepted style that prevails between sub ordinate and superior officers. tiibute to the art exhibit of the worlds fair. Few Americans, even among those familiar with the art centers of Euroje, have been privileged to scan the storied treasures of the Vatican. The extent of the papal exhibit at Chicago, has not yet been made known, but there is no doubt tjiat it will include many of the rarest famous antiquarian as well as artistic specimens. The Vatican is a veritable storehouse of such treasures as bring delight to the student and the ar tist. Even a fragment of its treasures will make a display of rarest interest and value. There is, moreover, the assur: ance that the display will be worthy the occasion and the illustrious exhibitor. Even at this early dav there are indica tions that the art display at the worlds ! fair will surpass any former collection of treasures on this continent. There is a just feeling of national pride that it should be so. Americans as a whole, are on the threshold of a new era in which the development of art will con spicuously become a national trait. Utilitarianism will cease to be the su preme guiding principle of. a . people whose culture broadens with the years. That the product of centuries of artistic culture, most of it princeless, should be collected and exhibited on the shores of lake Michigan next year is a happy demonstration that art is truly cosmo politan. As a leading exhibitor Pope Leo will perform a distinct service to humanity, confirming the already wide spread belief in the breadth of his human sympathies. and the United States engineers were handled without gloves, because of their interference with the people in the mat ter of bridges across the Willamette. Major Handbury was openly charged with taking $250.00 per month from the port of Portland commission. The port of Portland commission is opposed to any more bridges across the- river; free or otherwise, in Portland; and Major Handbury's reports sustain them. Whether they succeed in getting any more free bridges or not, this seems to be a free fight. 1 " President Harrison Is not so much in favor of reciprocity as has been imagined. In a state paper sent to . the senate, in answer to a resolution of February 24th, calling for information relative to recip rocity negotiations with Canada, he sounds the death knell of that project and plants a mile post in American his tory by deliberately, in effect, recom mending that congress proceed to retal iate upon the dominion for its persistent denial of the rights of American citizens, guaranteed by the treaty of Washington, in connection ' with the. navigation of Canadian canals. A prominent fish and game merchant of Portland sends in the following com plaint against the deer-skin hunters of the surrounding country: "Notwith standing all efforts made to put an end ;to the practice of killing deer for their skine, it appears that the miserable, contemptible skin-hunter is still at his work of destruction in the Cascades Several boxes of deer skins have been received here lately, put np in a way to conceal the contents. The proper per sons have this matter in hand, and are taking steps to secure the punishment of the guilty parties." According to the late decision of the Oregon supreme court each county will have to pay its state tax on the basis of the levy made by the state board of equalization. This decision will effect many counties as to mortgages, city and town property and real estate and count ies like Multnomah which have been as sessing 'mortgages at .r0 per cent. This '.is certainly neither equality nor uni 'formit3 so long as other property is as- j eessed at a much lower rate but since the . supreme court has spoken it must be ac cepted as another absurdity of our most absurd svstein of assessment. A great many democrats, as well as men ot other parties, are inquiring: "who is' Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illi nois?" He was first assistant postmas ter getieral tinder Cleveland. He was also a member of congress from Illinois, in the -14th and 46th sessions. He was born- in Christian county, Kentucky, October 23, 1835; removed to Blooming- ton, III., in 1S52; was educated at the Illinois A'esleyan University, and at Curtin College, Kentucky ; is a lawyer by profession : was master in chancery of Woodford county, Illinois, from 1861 to 1865; was state attorney for the 23d judicial district from 1S64 to 1868 ; was appointed by the president a member of the board of visitors to West Point in 1S77. He was elected to the 46th con gress by the national greenback and democratic . parties. He is now the nominee of the democracy, on the ticket of 1812, for vice-president.

CATARRH Is a most loathsome, dangerous, and preva lent malady. It is a blood disease, usually of Scrofulous origin, and for which local . treatment is useless. Before health is pos sible, the poison must be eradicated from the system, and to do this SUCCESSFULLY the disease must be treated through the blood. For this purpose no remedy is so effective as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "For the past eight years, I have been severely afflicted with Catarrh, none of the many remedies I tried affording me any re lief. My digestion was considerably im paired, and my sleep disturbed by phlegm" dropping into my throat. In September last 1 resolved to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, began to use it at once, and am glad to testify to a great improvement in my health." Frank Teson, Jr., engineer, 271 P'est Fourth street. New York City. "My daughter, 16 years old, was afflicted . with Catarrh from her fifth year. .Last Av. gust she was TREATED WITH Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after three months of this treatment she was completely cured. It was a most extraordinary case, as anv druggist "hete can testify." Mrs. D. W. Barnes,-Valparaiso, Neb. . Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer JfcCo., Lowell, iTasi.

He settled on the basis of $5,000; barely enough to cover his ex pense of the litigation, and as he has a number of personal friends who believed he had a good cause, who are surprised at the turn affairs have taken they natur ally inquire : "What had the state elec tion to do with it?"

In view of the fact that it flows almost through the centre of the state, entering at the northern bound ary and emerging at the southern, and nowhere enters the state of Oregon, says the Spokane Review, we suspect that the Seattle newspapers have an impression that their municipality comprises the entire etate of Washington. This idea ropped out when the tide lands were grabbed by local interests.

It is deeply touching to read the pathetic protest of Tony Noltners paper against the taxation of certain wax angels which were received at Baltimore the other day from abroad, which are intended to be used for decorating Christinas trees. "Even angels arere- quired to pay a tax oeiore they can enter !" says the Dispatch. How fortu nate it is that Ton himself is a native product. It is said that Mrs. Deacon, the faith less wife who recently figured in the in famous scandal at Nice, is now living in California and expresses regret over the publicity given to her affairs. We gather from this that the unhappy lady is deeply penitent that her liaison was discovered.

A Salem paper says "the lambing season of the woolly aphis is not over vet, and manv have put off shearing their aphises, leaving the fleece as a protection to the old ones. This is likely to produce a deleterious effect on the wool, and will tend to make the price lower than usual. One orchardist is looking around for a short-horned variety of the woolly aphis to stock his place with, as the Berkshire variety, -which he has been raising, is found too delicate for such seasons as the present. He thinks a larger bone and longer wool will produce better results." The idea of building a city or suburb an railway, upon the same principles involved in the construction of a street, or laying a pavement, by municipal authority, is about to be tested in Lon don. The leader of the ' movement is backed by "the enthusiastic support of the labor element," the . dispatch in forms us ; and "the ton' minority is so. feeble that its . opposition will be' immaterial."
