Cleveland has mude one good rul ing If he will stand by It, and of course we will give him the benefit of a doubt and assume that he will, says the Eu gene Register. That Is, that where pres ent incumbents of oflloe are attending to matters satisfactorily they 'will not be removed to make room for demo t crats. If we remember right he made the same kind of a statement eight yean ago, but there were a great many removals "for cause" but the "cause" was not stated. IT is rumored that the reason why a paper is being started at Perrydule, iu this county, is that that portion of Polk, with part of Yamhill, wants to be set off by the next legislature as a separate county. The Klckrcall is to be the southern line of the county. The fight will theu wage fiercely be tween Hheridan and Perrydule for the future county seat. It Is said that Dallas will oppose cutting off tliut part of Polk county as it will tend to divert her trade to I'errydale or Hheridun. McCoy and all that portion of the county will favor ' Perrydale, while beyond Hheridun will favor Hheridun.

The J tee Is being vigorously boycotted by busi ness men of Sacramento, but it is too late to remedy the evil. Over 10,00fl, 000 has been expended in public build ings at Hacramento, but the people's will Is law If they vote for a change.
