Katun a, bbmh, avsvbt si If Columbia county gets a railroad ber people will have to build it, and if I so they should build it on their own right-of-way. and where it will serve them best. Thb free-wool clause of the new tariff bill was characterised by Cleve-1 land, it wiU be remembered, as "an outrageous discrimination" against I the fanners; and they will certainly pool their votes against the party that wronged them. Thx farmers of Iowa reckon their loss from the not wind at 1125,000,000. This is a large item, though nothing to compare with the damage from the wind that has been blowing from every quarter to nowhere in Washington I daring the past year. Til tariff biU became a law last Itonday night without the president's signature. The bill is not exactly a free trade measure, bat as near to it aa Use democrats dare go and not make it absolute free trade. If tariff taxes are such a . burden on the people we ought soon to begin to prosper nnder this new mongrel law. "How can we face the people after indulging fat such outrageous viola tions of principle V Cleveland asked the democrats in bis letter denounc ing the tariff bill which they after ward passed. The answer to this per tinent and significant interrogatory wiU promote the gaety of the pending campaign throughout the East. Ax exchange says: "Every town has liar or two, a smart Aleck to make remarks about women on the street. more loafers than it needs, a woman or two who tattles, streets given over to weeds, an old fogy it would be bet- ter without, and a yoang man who laughs an idiotic laugh every time he e 8m stealthy and cowardly meth aavs env thine, a score of men with the H- And n victims of these brntal caboose ot their pants worn as smooth aa class, men who can tell von all about the finances, the weather and bow to mo other people's business, but who have made a dismal failure of their own." On of the first measures that should receive the attention of tbe next legis lature is one creating a maximum freight rate to be charged by the rail roads of tbe state. Such a measure, if framed in the interest of the people, would be conducive of much good, to the farmers first, and, secon Jly, to sH other shippers. Tbe law, if properly incorporated, would not cripple tbe railroads and would put a atop to dis crimination in favor or against certain individuals and localities. It costs more to ship a pound of freight from Corvallis to Portland than it costs from San Francisco to Corvallis. The former is 100 miles and tbe latter 400. Bucn a discrimination csn be success fully handled by our lawmakers, and their constituents should urge prompt action In tbe premises. Ir the next legislature would re-en act the mortgage-lax law, and then make the assessment roll the only evi- iImm nf inch debt, the wealth nf thn country would all bear its pro rata of taxation, u a non-ssseesea note was made non-collectable the assessor woma nsve no wouoie in nnomgnotes uigh of relie( WM notjceabIe on every and mortgages, neither would tbe tax- hBn(1 Tbe country will have a rest gatnerer nave any serious trouble in " ...... ...u. of wealth, just so long will the people W a anVsaual bVj. sisilaia bhiI feiwaAiil t,a ,UJ , , " erimiuattoo in taxation.

Those who read the resolutions in another column of tbie paper, regard inc the proposed Vernonia railroad cannot fail to see, upon reading close' ly, that the proposition therein em bodied is not for the beat interests of Columbia, but mainly for Washington, Clackamas, and Multnomah counties, In the first place the people ol the Nehalem valley want so outlet to the Columbia river on the shortest route they would not be materially benefitted by s road leading out by way of Bus ton and down the Tualatin river to Oregon City, a dittauce of more than fifty miles, when they can reaoh deep- water navigation and rail connection at a distance of twenty miles, and in direct Hoe with their business inter ests as well. It makes little difference to them at this time whether or not the interests of the Oswego iron works, the Portland General Electric com pany, or the Southern Pacific railroad company were served or not. That is not the question. Columbia county people are not able to build roads for oUw MCltont Bto sufficient benefit icouia ne aenveu, sou uwj cvrwuuijr 1 could dsrive Terr litUs benefit from could denv very oy other than a river outlet; in fact, the proposition referred to seems to us wholly impracticable, and we be lieve serious consideration given it would at once dissolve the unanimity ot sentiment now prevalent, aud in the end cause the defeat of any feas ible plan which might be carried for ward to successful termination. Co lumbia county should build, own, and operate the road, within its own bor- ders, and to take it out of our own borders means nothing short of abso- lute failure. We do not pretend to say at what point it should reach the Columbia river, but by all means it should come to the river, and if St. Helens should be selected as the point we will be all the better pleased. Plans for raising funds have already been outlined in these colum us, and I also in the Sentinel, at length, which we believe would be successful if pur- sued. Whatever plan seems beet to a majority the minority should eoncurr in and join hands for the promotion of the enterprise, provided always, that it ia to be a Columbia county affair. We have no hesitency in saying that we do not believe the Dell plan will meet with the approval of one single individual on this side of the moun tain. The reason needs no farther explanation. Ths assassin who respects neither the laws of God nor the claims of man is of all ages and of all countries. From the murderer of the Czar of Bussia to that of the mayor of Chi' cago; trom tne murder or tbe presi dent of the United States to thstof the president of France, he hss been with us this latter half of the nine teenth century. In the first half he struck down a prime minister of Eng land and a royal duke of the house ol Bourbon. Every century baa had him and always the same mean, squal- hd, dastardly creature half crank, half demon, whether known as Lou veil, Guitean, Bellinghara or Frendergaat or Santo. Even as fsr back as Ravil lac, the assassin of Henry IV, of rtoee, we find the characteristics; tt same unreasoning ferocity; the Bna personal traits and habits; maulers have, as a rule, been singular suoiable and inoffensive men. The monsters of history have been proof against tbe malevolence of the demons. But yesterday France mourned with America, today America mourns with France. Wboe turn shall coiue aextT Corvallis Times. Thb commissioner business bas gone to such an extent in this state and has proven of so little good that it should be footed out root and branch. Cou- eerning it the Statesman says: "Ore gon's voters should elect their own railroad commission if it is deemed for the best interests of the commonwealth that the state have such a board of commissioners. The legislature ought never to assume the power to elect sny stste official. Already the fight for place on the next board of railroad commissioners is receiving more at tention than any item of proposed legislation. The whole commission business (when the commissioners are elected bj the legislature) is demoral isingin fact one of tbe most demor alizing influences of tbe session. It hss a close connection with a great deal ol legislation. Votes for commis sioners are traded for votes for bills that would otherwise be buried where they 1obl Couobess has at lsst adjourned. The act WM committed Tueiday .The nntil December. What a pitty it has eo resting since last December. The peopi, m4y we, your ,Mt thJ m,b,e(t ofth r r thou through the portats to everlasting obscurity, and may God have mercy your misguided souls." Lookiho Bitter.

The exercises ot ths evening were opened by sn instrumental musical teleotion by Miss Lou Barr whose ability and willingnes to entertain a company are well known heis and highly appreciated. Recitations by Ads Stevens snd Miss Abbie Bryant, with a song by Miss Cora Blackford and a duet by Ida Blackford and Florence Fabrlque were followed by a brief statement by Dr. Hall, of ths object ot the gathering , and request for a few words from Rev. Moore. This request wst heartily responded to by ths pastor, who gave a very pleasant state ment of his work here, snd his enjoyment In it, Following this Mrs. Moore was pre sented by the Junior league with a bed spread, and gave a brief and very graceful acknowledgment of her thanks for the kind nesa. After these exercises ths Clatskanit orchestra favored the audience with instru mental selections ss a prelude to a general attack on some ice cream and cake that had been prepared for the occasion. Here it where the benefit came in, and some' thing over twenty-five dollars wss realised as a result, which was given the pastor and kit wife with the best wishes of those pres ent. Tbe pastor and bis wife are held In universal esteem in this community. Death of benator Gates. Hillsboro, Aug. 29. Word reached here Ibis evening that Hon.
