A deniocratio subscriber to this
paper informed ns last week that
we were too radically republleau
and a republican said we hud too
much populist doctriue and a pop
ulisfe B&id we were too nint h ot a
Cleveland man on the money ques
tion. The truth is all were right
and all were wrong. The Wwr
Side believes in protection, West
8iiK believes in the populist ideas
regarding monopliee aud legist
tion by the people, and it believes
in sound money, but it is tied to no
party. Protection happens to be a
republican measure therefore the
West Side is republican, sound
monev happens to be Cleveland's
hobby therefore the W'wt 81PE is,
that far. a Clevelaud paper, aud the
land ideas and the legislative ideas
of the populists happen to meet
with our approval, hence we are
BODulists. The Wist Siuk has
positive convictions and you can
tell where it stands, but it is not a
partisan paper.
- L i '
Baa Peutland should keep his
shirt on about that tax roll, lie
talks like a babe when he says the
' state board will raise the levy of
Polk. lie should know that tbe
state board is not yet in session.
and that Polk's roll is still in the
hands of the assessors. Do you
seet Dallas Tranrtpt.
Yes, we see. The West Side
wants to see Polk county's tax roll
as near perfect as possible, so that
the state board may not raise it.
If the county board is economically
giving us a good assessment, we
shall not complain. We are glad
to know that it is not too late for
the roll to be made more perfect
Under the present law, this is a
very important matter, and the
West Side in calling attention to
this subject, has done Polk county
a great service, which will be rec
ognized by the people when they
BOO its true import Every school
district, every city, and all of Polk
county is vitally interested in this
matter. The West Side is the
only paper that has said one word
in favor of a better assessment and
it has said it none too soon. W
have no apologies to make Bro,
Snyder. For further particulars,
we refer to the snmmary of Polk'
taxes, published in this issue.
THE Eoseburg Review appears to
us somewhat inconsistaut on the
silver question. It fires away at
congress for repealing the Sherman
law, and saying prosperity would
return, and then in tbe next ed
itorial column says that practically,
the Sherman law will not be re
pealed for two years yet, on account
of tbe silver bullion being coined
into dollars, which will require two
years time.
The 53d congress of the United
States is in session. Among the
prominent bills to be enacted will
be admitting Arizona, New Mexico
and Utah, to statehood; the tariff
bill, the income tax, and the Ha
waiian affair.
Money is still piling np in the
banks of New York. Nobody
wants to use money or to make any
ventures under "the change."
Oregmian.
The Eoseburg Review informs the
republicans that the "republican
editors who are so anxious to re
deem Hawaii from 'nigger rule'
should not be so distant in their so
licitations for struggling civiliza
tion. They appear never to remem
ber that the native born citizens of
this nation are constantly engaged
in a bitter and unrelenting contest
with brutal and ignorant African
savages, who are numerically their
superior, and who dominate and
rule over them, in the very shadow
of the stars and stripes." ,
The editor of the Review knows
law is not enforced, and that there
not a "bitter and unrelenting
coutcst" There Is a vast difference
between giving an American cltixeu
the right of suffrage, and placing
a profligate negress on a throne aud
upholding her with American bay-
oueta. It only shows the spirit of
the kind of democracy represented
by the finvw editor. Thank
heaven, all democrats are not so
unpatriotic.
President Cleveland's message to
congress, Monday, is very long,
but eoutulns nothing of any great
momeut It is noticeable that the
repeal of the state bank tax is not
tueutioued, nor the full instruction
given Minister Willis. The good
times promised last year, iu having
a "change," are not enlarged upon
