SHALL tUE LAW BE REPEALEDX A matter of considerable import-j ftnce to the people of Crook county, that is liable to come before the next session of the legislature, is the question of repealing the pres ent stock law. That the law is 1 beneficial only to the sheep raiser? is unquestionable, but whether they derive enough benefit to justify the expenditure of $800 a year as sal ary of the stock, inspector, ia the question that shculd be considered. Of the stock industries in this county, the sheep are second in talue, as shown by the aesessment toll, and the properly invested in that industry is entitled to bene fits from the expenditure of money collected as taxes as much as any oth&r class of property. But is the sheep industry benefited by the law? , Some men engaged in sheep raising assert that it is that it is the only safe way of-protecting their flocks from contagious diseases- while others claim that it is no benefit whatever; and the only way to prevent the spread of contagious diseases among sheep is to make owners of diseased sheep responsi ble for the damage they may do others. P The Review1 does not approve of nny law which burdens the people with extra cxpn3e unless they re ceive sufficient benefit, to offset the expense, nor dos it believe in act ing hastily 1:1 repealing a law with out other cause than its being ob noxious to a few individual!. The Btock law has how been in force several years and the people inter ested ought to be able to judge of its efficiency, or whether they are fiiiftlciently benefited by it to jus- twy them in paying a stoeK in spector's salary. The Review would sugget that men engaged in sheep raising discuss this matter before the convening of the legisla ture, and would oii'er the use of its coturrins for this purpose.

It repre sents Commissioners Wilkins and Klippel carrying a pole loaded With a few of Oregon's products : liay seed and moss being the most conspicuous "hoofing" it to Chi cago, while in the distance are long trains of ctiia carrying the exhib its of California, Washington and other neighboring states. The peo ple of Oregon have it in their pow er to allow the picture to become a reality, or to make their display at the World's Fair a credit, and the Review has too much confidence in their enterprise to believe they will suffer the former. The bill, Mr. Carlisle asserted, excepting sugar and molasses, re moved from the free list and placed on the dutiable list more than it took from tfee dutiable list and placed on thj free list. lie alt-o asserted that the bill would reduce the revenue and increase taxation. Unltsi all bis calculations were at fault, the average rate of duty un der this conference bill on dutiable articles would be 63 per cent, in stead of 454 per cent under the ex isting law. In order to compensate for an enormous increase of taxa tion, ne said a tax of 2 cents a pound, amounting to $5,800,000, was to bo taken off tobacc. The removal of that tax would relieve no one, and be beneficial to nobody except the manufacturers and re tailers of tobacco. Coming to the question of bounty on sugar, he said it would amount on the basis of present production, to between seven and eight millions a year. This was the first time in the his tory of the country it was proposed to pay a bounty to a domestic pro duct, but no part of the bounty, he asserted, would be paid to the grower of beet or sorghum or cane ; every dollar of it would go to sugar manufacturers. The grower would not receive a higher price for his product, nor would the consumer receive any beueiit from the boun ty, for the bounty-paid sugar woi'fd sell in the market at the same price precisely as the duty-paid refined il(T:ir frtmi r-.tr fmni ttittr Pullittr'.i-Q ' Referring to the reciprocity ameiid- bore so-called fiewspapeis of this st.ite whose editors open their col umns to any and all irresponsible characters who desire to vilify oth ers, and then seak to avoid person al responsibility by hiding behind the sterotyped siting, "we are not responsible for tha views expressed by our correspondents." The ed itor who makes a practice of this belittles himself in the estimation of the respectable class, and makes his "p iper" contemptible. Some of the "good" results of the McKinley tariff law are already being felt. On account of the in crease of duty the price of leather has gone up, and shoe manufactur ers propose to make an advance of 10 per cent in the price of their goods, so the Orejonian is informed by prominent boot and shoe deal ers in Portland. How will it suit old farmers who have probablv one beef hide to sell a year to pay 10 per cent more for their boots and shoes? Will they continue halloo ing themselves hoarse for the re publican party and protrcfion? About the pleasantest news that has been heralded abroad for some tini3 was that which flashed across the wires on the 1st announcing that congress had adjourned.

In his annual report he recommends the passage of a bill authorizing the governor to appoint the county judicial officers. Utah has already been cursed enough by the sway held over local affairs by the Mor mon church, without again giving the management of affairs to one dictator even if he is the gevernor. The city dads of The Dalles are having a kind of monkey and par rot time. Some of the councilmen don't like Mayor Mood's position o:i the water works question and want to impeach him. Mr. Moody is an experienced business man, and quite likely his views on this question are as nearly correct as those. of the gentlemen who want his official scalp. Buffalo Uill must be in partner ship with the chief of the Indian bureau, us the commissioner of In dian affairs has issued an order proposition was one to retaliate on the people of the United States by imposing a duty of 10 cents a pound on tea, 3 cents a pound on coffee, and from 35 to 39 per cent on su gar, unless China, Japan, Brazil and Spain should do certain things over which consumers in the United States had no control.
