The inauguration of Cleveland and Stevenson president and vice presi dent of the United Statea look place in Washington last Saturday. Perhaps no president ever took teat in America amid gaeater display of good will and routine effort than was witnessed at tbe nation's capital on that day. It is claimed that there were 40,000 people marched through the streets ot that great executive city in line. ; This is the second inaugu tion of a democratic president since thirty-six years ago, when the inauguration of I'resident Buchanan took place in loot, uuring tlio tinrty-iwo yi;ars since the close ot Buchanan's admin istration the republican party, with the exception of the former term of Mr. Cleveland from 18SS to 1889, have held the reins over national affairs, as earning control at a period when the country was in a most depressed con dition at the end of the most expensive wax in tbe world's history ; at a time when American freedom and Ameri can institutions were threadbare; when it required men of sound judgment and statesmanship to reunite and ro . construct this the greatest and grand- eat country on tbe face of the earth ; at a time whea an American merchant ship was seldom seen on the high seas flying tbe stars and stripes competing for the carrying trade in the commer cial world. All these difficulties have been met and overcome in the most satisfactory manner; not by mere force of circumstances but by the loyalty of the party to which the country still owes its highest reward. Today this nation, rescued from the verge of des . truction and built up by the republi can party, bears thVprond distinction of leading all the other nations of 'the! globe. Compare, if you please, the circum stances following the inauguration of Cleveland in 1S93 with those of Lin- coin in 1861. On the one hand we i find the government organized and! equipped with all modern requisites, and prosperity and plenty on every aide. On the other, disorganization, desolation and poverty, with the coun try divided t gainst itself by sectional strife. It is not necessary to go into detail here, for there is not even schoolboy in the remotest sections but - understands the situation of thirty-two years ago when the republican party came into power. While there are some grave questions now before the American people, none compare with those of the past. President Cleve land enters upon his official duties under the most favorable circumstan ces, and with the machinery of gov ernment once in operation it is not an a'duoua task to keep it running. INCONSISTENCY. The Oregonian, in its rage over the passage by the late legislature of the Columbia river pilotage bill, says: ' 'This ia the situation that confronts ns. It has come about chiefly through the greed of a gang that pursues from year to year, and before every legislature, its purpose of taxing the commerce of- tbe Columbia river for its personal and local benefit. It is a noi improDaoie preaicnon mat me evu wm become so apparent within a twelvemonth as to warrant tbe governor in calling a special session of the legislature to deal with them. Further, this act is likely to be no inconsiderable factor in. hastening the construction of the Union Pacific to Fuget Sound. Then, when this road is free to act in that direction, perhaps even Astoria and the legislature of Oregon will come to an understanding of the situation." The Oregonian does not say any thing about tbe "greed" and iniquity of the Portland "gang" in the legisla ture, supported by the great and only Oregonian, who tried to hoodwink that body into passing that infamous "Port of Columbia" bill, to tax eight counties, ; including Columbia and Clatsop, to improve Portland's harbor. Talk about taxation for "local and pergonal bene fit " that "Port of Columbia" bill, in troduced by Senator Willis of Multno mah, and 'championed by the Oregon ian, was the most raw scheme for "personal and local benefit" brought before the legislature. Bemove the coal mine from your own eye, brother. It is a very proper time to call the attention of assessors to the desirabil ity of making tbe valuation of prop erty on the now assessment rolls con form more nearly than heretofore to actual values. If the valuations were doubled, they would still be lower than the values really are.; Undervaluation lias been not the least of the abuses of our system. We have refused longer to allow deductions of indebtedness, and now it devolves on the assessors to put the values op to the require ments of law and fact. Abolition of the fixed levies removes one of the main arguments heretofore used for the absurdly low valuations made from year to year. It rests now with the assessors and with the boards of equal ization to complete the reform that the legislature nas begun. ; In tbe estima tion of every stranger who make the in quiry, Oregon is hurt badly by so poor a showing of values and so high a tax levy. PENNOYER AND - THE DEMOCRATS. The abuse of Governor Tennoycr by the democratic bosses an 1 Cleveland worshipers to such an exteut as I ma been indulged in lately, and especially in the resolution adopted at Snlen on Saturday, is unwarranted and redicu loua in the extreme. It strikttg us thai the democrats mad worship ts an ex hibition of far more "crankiness, in dignity and insnuily" than any net ol the governor during his entire admin islration. What is a man who, after shouting for Governor Pennoyer for years, now denounce him as "a crank without party gratitude or American feeling, void of tuo characteristics of a human being and full of venom, spleen, idiocy and crankiness akin to insanity, and totally unworthy of the high aud responsible position he holds?" Pennoyer is the same ident ical person he has been all these years, not having greatly -changed in his ideas of a public servant's duty ; while on the other hand the number of cranks and hero worshipers have in creased an hundred fold. The Oregonian's leading editorial last Sunday on street paving, after having dealt with tbe subject exten sively, declares that "the only pave ment fit to lay direct on the earth, or in a bed of sand, is Belgian block, and that is much better laid in concrete. These are principles established by experience. Any departure is sure to be a mistake." It will be remembered that the only pavement that has stood the test in Portland ia the Belgian blocks from the St. Helens quarries. The little game of "here it comes, and there it goes," which took place at Salem Saturday between the governor and the democrats over the use ot the state's little brass gun to fire an in augural salute, was amusing to spec tators. In this game of monkeying between the governor and his com mand and the partisans seemed to be a test of which could out monkey the other. But the governor got worsted. THE JiEW SALARY LAW. The bill abolishing the fee system and regulating the compensation of the different county officers, which was passed by the legislature and ap proved by Governor Pennoyer, has been filed with the secretary of state. The salaries of tbe various county of ficers are as follows : COCHTY. SHERIFF. CL1BK.

The salaries of county recorder will remain about the same as they now re ceive for fees. The annual salary of sherriff of Curry county is the smallest in tbe list, being $1200, and Multomuh county is the largest, being $4500. In all county offices where no suljry is fixed, the compensation of the neces sary deputies will be fixed by the coun ty court. ' ' ' County clerks are allowed to charge, in addition to their salary, ten cents per folio for making copies of records for private parties, sheriffs are allowed to receive any reward offered for cap turing criminals, also pay for boarding The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.

All other foes are to be collected and immediately turned over to the county treasurer. No change is made iu the compensation of county treas ureriCnnmcr.nsscssor and school super intendent. The law does not affect any present officeholders. It is indeed gratifying to republicans to see the war going on between the governor who has the power, and the democratic looses who gave him that power. Brethren, continue the fight THAT Lll'ILK CANNON. Salem' Sensation The Governor Outgoverned. Sai.km, March 4. At a lato hour last night Governor Pennoyer, as commander-in-chief of the Oregon Nation al Guard, ordered Colonel 8. L. Lovell of the Second regiment to take pos session of the only and sole brass can non in this city. Captain Sherman was detailed to dismantle the gun. It was placed iu the armory, taken from its carriage aud laid helplessly on the floor. A guard was stationed to pre vent anv possible swiping of the old blunderbuss for purposes of firing a salute over the inauguration of Cleve land. . Republicans were all happy over the situation aud democrats were looking correspondingly blue. John Knight, a republican sheriff, of a republican county run up the flag on the court house. George W. McBride, a repub lican secretary of state of a republi can state floated the two new flairs bought by the late republican legisla ture. Whatever may be the convic tions of citizens who are opposed to Mr. Cleveland politically, they respect the office of president of our country. He is the president of all the people alike and all true republicans feel that loyalty to our institutions which is the badge of American citizenship. THE GtTS CAPTURED. A writ of replevin was sued out be fore Recorder Edes by Smith & Schind- ler for repairs of $10 and at 1 :30 p. m. Marshal Minto opened the doors of the armory and the cannon was car ried out amid great enthusiasm by a dozen strong-armed democrats. As the dray started off Marshal Wait wheeled bis horse into line, the Sec ond regiment band led off with a mili tary air, a democrat hoisted a flag on the dray and amid great cheering the cannon was borne in triumph down State street. There was much hot talk all fore noon about a i action to replevin the gun. Democrats were talking ser iously of taking it by force and the two militia companies were held in readi ness to resist any such attempt. It began to look about 11 o'clock as if powder might be burned in another way than by the booming of cannons. At 2 .05 p. m. the first gun was fired and cheers went up from the throats of the triumphant democracy. The gun was turned over to the demo crats by Marshal Minto. At 2 :30 p. m. Captain Sherman handed the marshal a bond under which be was required to return the gun to the state of Oregon. But enough time had elapsed to give the democracy a chance to fire their ralute. Cornel T. B. Wait and the rest of the candidates for the postoffice, (most of thj resident democrat,) were in their glory. They had headed off Sylvester. A message was sent to President Cleveland as follows. "We have captured the Pennoyer cannon." The New School Law. Salem, Or., March 6. At the an' nual school meeting tonight an opin ion by J udge E. P. Boise on the new school law, and its conflict with the old law, was read. The judge was of the opinion that house bill 343 makes the county assessor the assessor of the school district instead of the district clerk. He says the levy of the tax for the school district cannot for the future be made by the district until after assessments are made by the county assessor and equulized by the state board of equalization. The di rectors can issue bonds to the amount of 5 per cent, of the taxable property of the district by filing a petition with the directors, signed by 10 legal voters of the district, and making a vote of the district. The directors may, with out a vote of the district, issue bonds to fund the indebtedness. Annual Hcliool Meeting. The regular annual school meeting was held in the courthouse Monday night. II. P. Watkins was elected di rector for three years to succeed James Muckle, whose term has expired. A. II. George was re elected clerk for one year. 1 he financial report of the clerk awn Powder: was road and approved, On motion ot II. 1. Watkins the directors were authorized to levy a 10-niill tax for school purposes, allowing no deduo tions for Indebtedness, and in every way to conform to the now asseesmont law, which says that properly shall li assessed at its true cash value. 'This, without any exemption, will greatly increase, if not double, the amount of taxable property in the district.

Washington, March 3, 1SS8. ltenjnmin Harrison Is ai courteous a nin as ever lived, but there it a limit to the courtesy of even the most courteous of men. Ho will uot assist Mr. Cleveland In review ing the inaugural parade, but will go from the capital, where he will perform his last official duty, by being present at the for mat inauguration of the new president, to the special train which will take him to his Indiana homo. 1 he reason for his not as sisting Mr. Cleveland In reviewing the pro cession is obvious. Mr, Cleveland de clined to assist him In 1880, although be had himself beeu assisted by General Arthur in 1885. No man who entered public life under the Harrison administration has gained the esteem of the people to a greater extent than Levi P. Morton, who has given the ollice ot vice president a dignity and influ ence it never before possessed. No other retiring vice president was ever tendered and given a banquet by the entire senate, regardless of politics. In political affairs Mr. Morton Is a strong partisan, because he believes as firmly as be does in his bible in the principles of the republican party, but no democratic senator has ever complained or been given a cause to complain of any decision made by him when presiding over the senate. One of the largest receptions of any year was held at his residence Wednes day r.ight in honor of his successor and Mrs. Stevenson. There may have been congresses that ac complished less than tbe Fifty-second they all appropriated less money but if s they were further back than your corre pendent remembers. The closing hours ol the present congress do not differ from those of its predesessors, except that there are about ten times as many otllce-seekers crowding the corridors of the capitol were ever here before. In 1S89 it was thought that the army of oflice-seekers which marched upon Washington was large, but it was only as a regiment to corps when compared with that now here. The excitement and turmoil in congres has been great all this week, but there has been but little business of general iuteres transacted, as the appropriation bills, which were in an unusually backward condition hare taken up most of the time in both house and senate. The hot fight which was expected over the Sherman bond I amendment was avoided by the friends of the amendment agreeing not to pass it that being regarded as the only way to pre vent the failure of the sundry civil appro priatlon, as the silver men had announced their intention to filibuster against it to the end of the session. One of the very few meritorious tans en acted by this congress is that providing for the use of automatic car couplers by all in terstate railroads, which was forced through the bouse and signed by the president this week. It is probable that no bill signed by President Harrison during his term gave him more pleasure than this one, which he was so largely Instrumental In bringing to the front, by persistent recommendations in his annuid messages to congress. Mr. Cleveland arrived yesterday after noon and was enthusiastically received by the assembled office-seekers, who seem to hare the Idea that the disudisul of republi cans is to begin bright and early Monday morning. By tbe way, speaking of office-seekers. some of them have introduced a new wrinkle. They carry aroundnot all of them, but a good many of them printed cards bearing their names and places of business, followed by "candidate for chief of tbe sincures," or whatever the office is that they are after. A collection of these cards would make aa interesting souvenir that would recall the beginning of this ad ministration, in the after years when the dose of democracy shall have proven too much for a nauseated country, as it will In 1896. If any democrat who held a prominent office under the last democratic administra tion is absent from Washington at this time be must be too ill to come or unable to raise the necesc ary cash. But they all seem to be here, and erery man of them Is anxious to get his old place back or a better one, Every democratic member of the House who failed to get re-elected Is a candidate for Federal office, notwithstanding the report that Mr. Cleveland had said he would op- point no roan to office who has been re pudiated by those who knew him best his own constituents. The anti-option bill, which has occupied so much of the time of both the House and Senate during the Fifty-third Congress came to its death because its friends in the at tempt to get the House, under asuspension of the rules to concur in the Senate amend ment could not muster the required two thirds vote. P.epnblican Scnotors are responsible for the failure of the Senate to act on the an nexation treaty. 1 1 1 Cholerine in Pennsylvania. Swickley, Penn.: We bad an epidemic of cholerine, as our physicians called it, in this place lately and I made a great hit with Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy. I sold four dozen bottles of It in one week and have since sold nearly a gross. This remedy did the work and was a big advertisement for me.
