Kveu al this early day there Is some pretty loud USk of putting lndemlent eamtklatM tu the field airalnst the reg ular nominees ou the eltlson's ticket. Well, thin is preaunwhly a free country. and Independence, m It s name Mi plies, I au independent ami free com munlty, but, as rule, It Is better to sup- nreesstrife In municipal elecllous wan pander to the Injured feeling of some ene who may feel sore over the result uf the eonveutlon. IVrsotuU antago nism seldom. If ever, result In good to a community, mid unless evident of fraud 1 ludubltablo, or a candidate unoueationahly iueompetent, it I al least' prudeut to siand by the regular uomluee. The Wkst 8uk has no t to grind, no perquisite to accrue from the coming city eleotlou, hut la simply uniting a general statement lu a uon partisau and Impersonal way, an I the reader can Uke it for what It lit worm and nothing more. That U all. WHO PAYS THE TAXES. The lMmervitl Rtvkw, of Portland has been at great pains to collect friu the tax roll of the elate of Oregon comparing the amount of persoual property and real eelate taxed, and at a conclusion assert that " an analysis of these resulU will prove the follow lug statement, and challenges contra diction of any of them: 1 The farming community of Oregon are paylug today, uuder the present system of taxlug personal property and credits, KIUHT-TEMHS of the eu tire state tax. S That this disproportion is aggr vated by the existence of the law 'r mltUug deduction "debts" from assess ment, as the result Is simply to wipe out entirely, In cities, all personal prop erty taxes in tue country. We omit several other sections, but the above go to prove what we hav often stated, that the preseut system Is oppressive to the farmers. We have stated also that the wholesale fraud, practiced, lu giving such a large in debteduess in the cities has a hud moral tendency. For the above two reaou alone, deductions for ludehtrdncss should tie abolished. THE BALLOT. The WbsT Bwk acknowledges the receipt of an address, In pamphlet form "To the Electors of Oregon," by the "Ballot Reform I-eague" of this state, In this address It is claimed that the Australian ballot system Is a decided Improvement uKn all previous moth Us. Its moet distinguished aod.sallent features are: First, compulsory secrecy in voting; second, an exclusively ortt clal ballot; third, the filing of ccrtlfl cates of nomination, etc. We may have something definite to say in re gard to this new system lu the near fulure, but have time and siee for only a word In this Issue. The present system, with all Its Im perfections, Is a remarkable Improve ment upon the old Greek method of votimr. The evolution of the ballot Is as marked as any other event of his torv. and there Is clear evidence of gradual improvement all along the line of It historical development. It is notoriously true that the present American system of voting is a hum bug and a fraud a rotten machine, manipulated largely by political trick sters and demagogue. e will we! come any reform which has a tendency to purify the political atmosphere, but are in no hurry to say that the Australian ballot system Is a panacea for all of our political ills. Like Ajux, we call for "light." WHAT IS UA1SED. Those who advocate deducting in dobtednessln taxing property should be able to show what gain, if auy, Ore gon has received through deducting debts. They cannot say that taxei are lower. They cannot say that It catches the rich. They cannotsay that It makes a good showing for the stale. They cannot say that it encourages honesty. They cannot say that It is fair toward the saving, out ol debt taxpayer, they cannot say that the law Is easily en forced, They cannot say that It encour ages capital from abroad to Invest lu the state. They cannot say that it en courages enterprise; they cannot show that a lack of this clause in other states has been other than beneficial. Hum ming it all up we see but one argument in favor of deducting debts, and that Is to allow those who are In debt to escape taxei. For the suke of a few people In Oregon who are out of debt, let us have a law that will deal fairly with them. If Individuals will go In debt they should not saddle their burdens on their more cautious neighbor. Let the man who dances pay the fiddler. THE WORLD'S FAIR. I l.crc ia a right and wrong way of (loiutf everything. The right way may not seem the very best way in all canes at first,but it will general ly prove to be the most satisfactory in the long run. Take, for an ox ample, the jilan proposed by the committee of the Oregon Press asso ciation, in which each county in Oregon has a World's' Fair com missioner and Portland five, mak ing thirty six in all, and they elect their own president, secretary, and executive board. Compare this with the plans wherein boards of trade or the governor of Oregon appoints four or six commissioners, and judge which come nearest to the people. No doubt but that the pop ular plan of having a large commis sion to somewhat cumbersome, hut is it not the bestl An Englishman lias invented a machine to milk cows. What's the matter with the rosey cheeked, bright eyed, bnxom girls of England? WASHINGTON I. Si IT ICR, I imhi our regular wrrrtMMulal. I Washinutov, 1. C, Nov. 21. The, secret is out nt lust, and there is no longer tuiy injstery as to the demoerutio bowls for a re count of tho population of New York city, by the wiimw bureau. tt is not because they hope to gain an additional member of the Homo, ami one mora vote in the electoral college for the slate of New York. They arc playing for much larger stakes. The scheme Is to create such a hubbub over thin recount that congress will puss a resolution ordering it, ami then for the milk in the iwyanut Hie postponement of the congressional apportionment until the Fifty seo ml congress meets. They know tlmt an apportionment bill, such as Iicprescutative Dumiell's, will give the republicans from 17 to 19 adtli tionul representative in tile fifty third congress and an eipial mini bor of voter in the electoral college, which will elect the next president, aud they are playing a bold game lu order to prevent the present congress making the apportion ment at the coming abort session, and to get the apportionment Into their own hands, but it is a de cided waste of energy, The first business of the republican house, which meets lVccmber 1, will be to (icrfcct and puss a fair and just apportionment bill liused upon the returns of the eleventh census. The bill introduced by Mr. limine! 1 at the lust session will necessarily have to be somewhat changed because the population of the country fell below the est i mat tit upon which it was based, but there is not the slightest danger that democratic howls can succeed in having the bill postponed. Everybody here is talking reci procity. The new Spanish minister, Souor Miguel Suarea Guuiies, has arrived here, beeu presented to the president and has already negotia ted wilh Secretary Maine looking toward a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Sjmin, which will, of course, include Cuba, lu his speech to the president the new minister made it very plain that his govern men t was anxious to have reciprocity, and privately he lain talked even plainer. Negotiations are also in progress with several other countries, notably those of Cent ml and South America, and it will not bo surprising if the senate shall be called upon to ratify four or five reciprocity treatise before theexpirationoftbe fifty-third con gress. The Joint seuate and huune commit tee, authorised at the lut session of congreHS to visit the Pacific coast for the purpose oflnveMtignting the alleged violation of the Chinese lmmlgmtlou law, left hero Haturday morning in chargo of a deputy sergeant-at-arms of the senate, and act-uuipaulcd by clerk and a stenographer to dike down the testimony taken by the committee The first meeting Is to be held st Hpok sue Falls, Wiixh , where Henator iulre will Join them. They are to visit In the order named: Tnconm, He- attle, Port Towustud. 8an Francisco, Los Angeles and Han Diego, sud expect to return to Wellington uImhi ClirlMl- mas. Tho pnwldt'iit sjielids the greater portion of Ills time Just now lu the preparation of his annual mcsHugo to congress, which protnlw to lie an uu usuully interesting aud important doc ument, but ho takes time to confer with republican senators and representa tives, who arc arriving quite rapidly in order togi't tbo benetlt of their ad vice on the subjects which lie propone to treat in his mesxage. I t is thought that within a week or ten days the most of tho republican Muatorsand representatives will bo hero and It Is proponed tlmt a conference be held to decide upon the legislation of tho aiming svshIous. It is kuown that the president will take strong grounds n his mesnngo for the linniedlute pas- sago of the apportionment bill and the shipping bills, ami It Is believed by many that he will also urge the paa- sHge of the federal election bill by tbo senate, but there are some doubters as to the last ineaHure. Postmaster-Gem-ruI Waiiamuker has weathered the fin toclnl storm In spite of the determined effort of Jiiy Oould nd the Louisiana Lottery company to break down his personal credit, and J am told by a banker that Mr. Waua maker's credit Is as good as It ever was, This attempt to bring about the private nnnclal ruin of a publlo ofllclul be- tuse of his official acts Is one of the most disgraceful In our history. Mr. Ooutd dislikes Mr. Wanamaker becaune of his advocacy of a jxsital telegraph system, and the lottery folks regard im as the author of their ruin, so they unbilled for revenge. The purpose being to force Mr. Wanamaker Into bankruptcy. But it was useless, The lottery law is In our statute books to tay, and Mr. Wanamaker will take a more advanced stand than ever, In his annual report, In favor of a postal tele graph. I beard a gentleman say today Unit Qio president had decided upon the suc cessor to the late Justice Miller, and that his name would go to the senate Immediately after congress meets. The gentleman's relations with Mr, Harri son are such as to leave no doubt In my ml ud. lie would not tell the name of the new jtihlice, In fact he wouldn't adijuit that h:- l.new It. Why could not Polk county have some good commissioner to repre sent us in showing our resources at the World's Fair! A man elected by the people, to represent the people. rRtS'CU'LKS NEVER Did No mrtv can atitnd still and The new Idea has the asm ru to place and trial tut had Its nredo. cessor.

It is all very well, and even appropriate that Henry M. fltanley the African explorer, is a sort of adopted citizen of America, should be welcomed to our Hhoros, but there is no occasion for gushing over him. It is not love of America that brings Mr. Stanley and his bride to the United States, but love of American do'hrs which he Iioikjs to coax out of our p n-kcts by his lec tures on Africa.
