THE COUXTTS FI.YA.YCES.
The semi-annual financial statement of
Clackamas county, published in another
column, shows that the county is yet in a
good financial standing notwithstanding the
heavy drams that bare been made for road
improvements and other expenses during
tbe year. The total liabilities ol the county
are shown to be f 141,572.35, while the re
sources are given at $53,132.93, eavig the
apparent indebtedness of the county at $$8,
439.42. It is estimated that full; $40,000 of
tbe cointv's resources can be realized on so
that the actual indebtedness of Clackamas
county is not far from $100,000. This is not
so bad a showing as our populist friends
would make us believe. With a (48.000
court house, a $27,000 suspension bridge,
eleven bridges across the Sandy, Clackamas
and Molalla rivers, costing from $2,800 to
$9,000 each, over two hundred smaller
bridges, and fully forty miles of turnpike
roads to show for this indebtedness. And it
must be remembered that these improve
ments have all been made within the past
seven years. With the indebtedness clause
out of tbe tax levy, and no large bridges to
build or otber heavy expenses likely to be
incurred, the indebtedness of the county
should be greatly reduced in the next two
years.
Tbisis the first statement that ever showed I
the actual amount ot the interest on the out
standing warrants; and to County Treas
urer Moore is due the credit of this extra
work. It will also be observed that the de
linquent list is barely over $8,000, the lowest
- in proportion to the levy ever known in the
comity. This good showing is due to the
Tin fire last Saturday evening demon
strated that three things are necessary to the
proper protection of property on the hill,
via: graded streets, fire alarm service, and a
hose cart in good repair with plenty of new
hose. With a hose cart so badly out of re
pair that the tool-box was lost on the way,
leaving the firemen without a wrench, and
the streets so rough that no sced could he
made, and with wandering around trying to
find tbe fire, the firemen are not to be cet
sured for being late at the fire and doing so
little toward extinguishing it. Willi the
new buildings that are being erected the
houses in the residence part of the city are
now getting so close that with a high wind
a fire could spread rapidly and cause a seri
ous loss. As a means of protection the
present company should have good appara
tus and another company be orgauiied in
the north part of the city, and with Kiev,
enth or Tweltth street and some north
and south streets graded Madison reach
ing the largest part of town, the residence
part of Oregon City would have fire protec
tion equal to its merits.
Thi New Orleans Ticayune has addressed
a circular to each of 8f8 planters listed in
Bouchneau's sugar report for ISM; the cir
cular was one of inquiry as to opinions con
cerning the revolt from democracy to r
publicanism. Of those who have made
reply, fifty-four per cent approve, twenty
six per cent disapprove, and twenty er
cent are non-committal. The figures are
the more interesting in that they are made
in response to the inquiry of a Journal that
is hostile to the revolt. It is safe to say that
a majority of tbe non-committal twenty per
cent are with the new republican converts.
Jox Waldhof, the noted populist speaker
and writer has retired from the editorial
management of the Portland Leader, as
signing as a cause tbe lack of financial sup
port to the paper on the part of the mem
bers of his party. As to who shall take
charge of the paper has not been announced
yet it is thought that the paper will not
last long as Key. Waldrop was its main
supporter.
Thb Daily Sun, Portland's new paper,
made its appearance Monday morning. It
is a six-column, eight-page paper, and Is
well edited and neat appearing typographi
cally. Tbe first number contained a big
telegraphic scoop on the Oregonian, and it
bids fair to give the big daily a stiff compe
tition. Tbe Sun is to be independent in
politics.
exertions of Sheriff Maddock in pushing his
collections, and to tbe absence of that un
certain resource, the mortgage tax levy.
THE TRUST AT WORK.
A prominent daily paper of Wales has a
paragraph announcing that tbe Welch tin-
j plate manufacturers are filling numerous
orders rereived from the United States by
cable, at an advance of 9d. a box In price.
How is this? Tbe new tariff reduces the
duty on tin-plate almost one-half, and tbe
price of the foreign article advances!
Evidently the agent of the American Book
Company, who was in this county a short
time since, got his work in on the alliance
people in good shape, for tbey have come out
boldly in favor of retaining tbe books of
ihe trust. They passed at the recent ses
sion of the county alliance a set of resolu
tions, space for which is given in another
column, condemning any change in the
text books of our schools, without assign
ing a reason for tbeir action otber than
that they were afraid some trust or monop
oly was interested in the change. The ac
tion of the alliance shows bow litttle Its
members know about the school book ques
tion and bow easy it is to dupe them into
working right into tbe hands of the most
powerful book trust in America. Tbe
American Book Company is a trust com
posed of several of the largest school book
publishing houses in the country, who have
combined to control tbe price of school
books. Tbeir plan is to divide among them
selves tbe states in which they secure con
tracts, and when they once get control of a
state, like they have in Oregon, to so con
trol popular sentiment as to give them the
exclusive monopoly of the business. If our
alliance friends would do a little investi
gation tliey might find it to theii advantage
as patrons of the schools to favor a
change in the books. lor the probab
ilities are that the publishing houses
outside of the combine will bid very low,
and it may be money in our pockets to have
a change. The books issued br the various
firms competing are all good, and as tbe
county superintendents who are to do the
voting are all persons of intelligence and
business training tbey will undoubtedly
give tbe contract to tbe house making the
best rate.
Tbe E5TEBPBI8K will publish no more res
olutions in favor of the American Book
Company unless paid for at the regular ad
vertising rates.

can better their condition by turning their
attention to hog funning as a means of get
ting away with their low priced wheat.
This may be all well enough but the Graphic
believes llint the Oregon fttnuor knows
alHHit as much about his business as the
average Oregon editor does. We pity Ihe
poor fanner who undertakes to appropriate
all the cheap advice he is getting theseduvs.
The Inter tVcau gives the following hints
to the laboring men that Is worth pondering
over though the reader may have voted for
a "change" : A word to the le is enough.
It is ltnHirlnt that our worklngmen who
are about to put in their winter supply of
statuary, laces, china, ostrich feathers, and
other such necessities that the new tarill
law has kindly placed within reach of Ihe
humblest should get first class articles. Tor
there will be three cold winters before a re
publican congress and president will be
ready to do business together, and some of
these necessities may have to be temporar
ily deposited with your "mu le." bo gel a
good thing while you are about it. Ostrich
ate much nicer than turkey lent hers with
which to keep the dust off the portrait ol
the old man who voted Ihe republican
ticket straight from Fremont to Harrison,
and with his last breath prayed hi son not
to spoil the family record for common sense.
On the question of heavy taxes paid semi
annually, or all payable in the fall of the
vear, the St. Helens Mist makes the follow
ing point In the discussion : We believe thai
taxes should be made payable semi-annually,
thai is, one-half in the spring and the
other in the fall. There are two empty.',
tions along this line. One is to make taxes
payable in the fall or else semi-annually, as
alnwe stated. Very few farmers or even
business men have money In the spring
with which to pay, and if so, It would afford
them partial relief to have an extension of
time on half the amount. Ol the two plans
we believe the latter aould prove most sat
isfactory, but either would be an improve
ment on Ihe present law.
Of Ihe visit of Ihe business men of Port
land to Astoria and of Ihe new friend
ship and co-operation that is springing up
between the cities of our state, the Kvvuing
Telegram has the following to say: The
spirit of getting together seems to hare
taken hold ol Oregon people at last, and If
it can be kept alive long enough great good
must result. Our business men are just be
ginning to get acuttainted with each other,
and are for the first time learning that they
must depend on each other for help. And
what Is still more singular, the business
men of Portland are just beginning lo In
form themselves of the resources of this
great state of Oregon and of the possibilities
of Its future develovement. Past prosperity
bad spoiled us. We bad too much of it.
When everybody was making money and
everything was coming everybody's way,
there was no inducement for the business
interests to get together and work on the
co-operative plan. In this respect the hard
limes have been a positive benefit to us.
They have taught as the necessity lor cul
tivating a spirit of mutuality, and that we
are a community in fact as w ell as In name.
The business men's excursions which have
been inaugurated lately are doing great help i
in this direction. By an association of!
business interests and mutual co operation
greater things can oe accomplished than if
left to individual effort. When we quit re-

A NEW RIFLE.
United States soldiers are to be armed
with a new rifle. It Is called the Krag-Jor-gensen
rifle. It Is a magazine rifle. The
first Installment of tbe new weapon was
lately given to the Second and Fourth In
fantry of New York,
This Krag-Jorgensen rifle is described as a
truly formidable weapon. It is made to be
usefl with smokeless powder. It ha an
initial velocity of 2000 feet, against 1300 lor
thl old gun. This, tlis initiated say, means
Of the effects of the new tariff on the Can
adian lumber trade and of their desire to
further benefit by its provisions the Pacific
Builder has the following to say : It appears
that the Canadian lumbermen, w hile jub
ilant over the prospects of subjugating
American markets, and of supplying them
with their fir lumber for building improve
mei.ts, are yet unsatisfied. Fir lumber is
now free of tariff duty entering into this
country. But through some benignant
providence cedar escaped the fate of fir at
the hands of the late unlimited congress,
In fact in the new tariff law cedar is classic
lied with the high grade woods which tome
under the schedule of luxuries. This will
effectually shut out competition from across
the border In the cedar business. Tbe Can
adian manufacturers realize this fact fully
and have already forwarded a petition to
their government at Ottawa praying it to
solicit congress to remove the duty on cedar
on the ground that cedar is no more of a
luxury on this coast than pine in the East.
In other words tbe Canadian manufacturer
will endeavor to convince our government
that their ceilar lumber is an absolute nec
assity to Americans Just like wool, or salt,
or coal. But of course tbey do not mean
it. Humurous fellows, those Canadians
clever, bright and humorous albeit their
jokes on the lumber situation are not now
considered particularly "funny."

In 1888 Louisiana was the sixth stale from
the bottom of the list In the matter of illit
eracy; in 1800 it achieved Ihe sad distinc
tion of falling to tbe very bottom. The dis
creditable fact is brought out by tbe Times
Democrat of New Orleans, tbat this is not
due to any retrogression or the Negroes of
that state, but solely to the whites. In 1880
18.4 per cent, of the white adult population
were nnahle to read and write; iiil8!0the
percent, had risen to 20.1. During this
time the white illiterate adults bad increased
from 58.051 to 80.013. Making allowance lor
deaths, over 40,000 white children grew up
to manhood and womanhood without the
benefit of education: and yet Louisiana had
imagined that If Its schools for Negroes were
poor its schools for whites were decent.
Meanwhile, the Negroes, with their poorer
schools, have made a small per centageof
gain, and the loss is entirely among the
whites.
Of tbe great increase in the export of ail
ver trom this country during the past year
the Independent ol New York has the fol
lowing to say: It is an exceedingly inter
esting fact that the exports of American ail
ver are large and rapidly increasing. Dur
ing the first half ofl8!M our shipments were
as large as the entire calendar year of 1892,
and for the first eight months of 18IM about
double that for 1801, The exports of do
mestic silver for the first eight months of
1894 were 139,009,087. It would be remark
able and at the same time very agreeable if
we could market our surplus silver to our
foreign friends.
