AfcliMM&W TArr to 6u Ortd way f obtaining 6m- neut-puUioity; but w t oMi'- What is the matter with con gresa, anyhowt Five lays running this week and no quorum obtain able, aud it require foree to gvt members into their seats, ' The democratic party wilt soon have beu iu Ml contiol of this government oue year, and they are worse at sea among themselves now than ever. This government is too big a machine for them to run. About the time they get it down to their caliber the year 181H will have arrived, aud then they will turn it over to better management. The American people are uot fools, and they will profit by the result of the "change." Already there is talk of auothor "change," and it cannot be in the direction of the present one. We give this week some examples of the use of the referendum in the United States, In Portland the citizen's committee of KH),is in that line, and it bus saved the city 1120,000 yearly, already. Why not every city have a referendum committee, and why not each coun ty, and why not all of Oregeu t When all the items are consid ered it will be found that thea-wess-ment of Polk county this year will cost about 2500. If the assessor were paid half that sum, he could, and would give us a more satisfac tory assessment. Do not blame Mr. Beckett, for he has done hi best, considering the pay he re ceives. It is not trno economy to pay $2500 for work that could be well done for 11500. THE New Year edition of the Salem Statrtman, of twenty four pages, is a fine nnmber, surpassing any previous effort, and a credit to is proprietors. It is a number well worth preserving. That Hawaiian policy of Presi dent Cleveland's, and, Governor Pennoyer's letter, are both having a very decided effect on the people. Blount told lies to the president, and he believed them about Ha waii; and Pennoyer told lies about Oregon, and the people will believe them. Plain, ordinary truth is too common for some people. England is going to spend 20, 000,000 for new war vessels to in crease hjr navy. Some other na tions, the United stales among them, are getting too many vessels to suit England. The , Salem Stattuman1 New Year edition says: ;The I. O, O. F, library is the second largest library in 8alcm. It is maintained by Chcmekcta and Olive lodges, and is managed by six trustees, three from each lodge. The library is in the new Ilolman block on the third iloor. Iiesules a great many volumes of fiction, his tory, biography, etc., nearly all the leading magazines and newspapers are to bo found. This library is open to all on the payment of a nominal yearly fee. From week to week new books are added until now the library contains over 20, 000 volumes. Why cannot Independence have a public library! Some public spirited odd fellow years ago start ed the Salem library and now it ranks second only to the state li brary. The masons of Salem, also have a public library. These or ders here, either separately or unit ed, could start a library and the public would enter heartily into the scheme. This matter should not be allowed to drop. It might start with only a few hundred books and be kept open only on evenings of each week and on Sun day afternoons, but woutd find many persons to patronize it who ure indifferent now. '" Both the odd fellow and masonic lodges of , this city have fine lodiw rooms, fire proof and conveu lent tor the public, and it would cost them very little to add a lim ry and reading room.
