CLEVELAND INAUGURATED.
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

The salaries provided for county
clerks, recorders of conveyances,
clerks of the circuit and county courts,
and sheriffs, shall be audited and paid
in monthly payments; and no one of
such officials shall be entitled to re
ceive any fees or other compensation
for his services than as above pro
vided (and except as hereinafter pro
vided, except for furnishing to private
parlies copies of the records and files
in his office, for their benefit and con
venience, in which case he shall be en
titled to charge 10 cents a folio, but
shal) not be entitled to anything for
authenticating such copies, beyond in
cluding the number of words contained
in the certificate ot authentication in
his computation of the number of
folios.)
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

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.

VTA8HIVUTON IjKTTKK.
(From our regular correspondent.)
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.

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. Sev
eral persons who had been troubled with
diarrhoea for two or three weeks were cured
