Mrs. Piatt will be re membered as having been sent to the asy lum at Salem sometime ago. A steer of the Piatt's had caused Mr. Wright a great deal of trouble, and he finally shot It, and afterward offered to pay for It. Wednes day evening Mrs. Piatt, daughter and two sons called at Mr. Wright's home, the daughter carrying a shot gun. In the quarrel and tight which followed the gun wits leveled by Miss Hatt at Mr. Wright. and the triutrer was about to be pulled hen Mr. Wright knocked the young lady down and also Mrs. Piatt. In return he was well belabored with clubs and fists, all Ink luir a hand In the skirmish. The at tacking party finally withdrew. Mr. Wright was attested bv a Selo Constable, and taken to that city. The above Is an ac count of the affair as told us. Mr. Wright is said to he a man highly respected by his nclghbot .

While out on the plateau west of town a few days ago the writer remarked the unusual appearance of the peaks in the Cascade range, sevetal of which were plainly seen from the point of observation. Their appearance Is more than an unusual feature, as it is doubtful if anyone living here ever saw them so near ly stripped of their perpetual snow. Espec ially Is this fact noticeable on the north Sister, whose eastern and northern sides are free of snow all the way up, excepting two or three small patches, which have the appearance of small glaciers as viewed at this distance. f'tincv ille Ar-.

The company that W. F. Rochester has gathered around him is very clever. James T. Kelley as the 'Widow,' It the principal character, and kept the audience in a constant roar by his natural acting. Will H. Bray, as tha stcw srd, was capital. He Is an author and composer, and sings his ow n songs as none hut the composer can render them. Miss Freddie Stockmeyer, as 'Bella Thompson mads a hit. She is constantly improving In her profession. W. F. Rochester played 'Capt. Cranberry' In the same excellent way he does every part he undertskes.

Mack Montetth has been keeping rather quiet of late, in fact, alnce his exploit with the big salmon at llwaco he has done but little hunting or fishing. Hut on Saturday last, as he was monkeying around the marshes, he came suddenly upon a mud-hole from which the water had receded. The mud was of rath er a tenacious nature and seven small ducks and about twenty snipe had been caught in it and were unable to extricate themselves. Mack waded out to them and after wring ing their necks tied them together and hung them upon a tree. He then hurried back to llwaco, borrowed a shotgun and in less than an hour showed the astonished Ilwracotteaa string of seven ducks and twenty snipe.

A Reason - An exchange says that one reason why Washington Territory Is build. ing up (aster than Oregon Is on account of our miserable assessment system. Here property I assessed at about forty per cent of Its value and all manner of Indebtedness taken out. There it is assessed at lull value and no indebtedness is taken out. As result the rate of taxation there is about half what it I here. At Soto. The trial of the case of the State against Mr Wright, at Sclo l-ridsy, before Justice William, i said to have been an exciting one.

Mr. Piatt appeared for the prosecution and Judge Whitney for the defense. A Black Eve.

The Herald Ditmiminator, in an article nearly two columns long, under the cap tion of "A Plain Statement," makes some of the most egreglously absurd blunders that we have met with in this campaign. The benighted scrawler of the self-appointed grange organ says that the 40 per cent, duty levied upon sacks used by farmers Is not added to the price which farmers have o ffay. Now we submit that such a state ment U too absurd and ridiculous for a moment's serious thought. It would be just as reasonable and truthful to say that he freight on the sacks from Calcutta to San Francisco is not added to the price the farmer has to pay. But the blunderhead who deals out tariff nonsense to his readers finds nothing better to support this bloed- ucking scheme to rob the farmers than his statement above referred to As we have shown before, more than nine-tenths of ah the sacks used on this coast arc imported. and the duty is just as surely added to the price which the farmer pays as the original cost at Calcutta Is, and while It aonears that the self-appointed grange editor has not sufficient mental caliber to comprehend so plain a proposition, yet every other man of ordinary Intelligence comprehends the imposition upon its statement without ar- gument. There Is absolutely no reason for facing a duty on jute or jute sacks, for jute is not grown in this country, and not one in ten of the sacks used is manu factured here. Who is protected here bv 0 putting a duty on jute? No one. Who is irolected by putting a 40 per cent, duty on jute sacks? A small, insignificant jute factor at Oakland. California, that is run by Chinese laborers and a few imported Scotch factory girls. And the dolt that runs the sheet up the way would Us the farmers and miners of this coast from six to eight hundred thousand dollars every year to protect that measly concern . Bet ter that the farmers should buy out that concern at 1 50 cents on the dollar and then pension every employee there titan pay this enormous tax. "We deprecate the selfish spirit that attaches the load of a political question to the detestable jute sack that has been foisted upon the Pacific coast farmer,- says the editor up the way. Oh, indeed? Who loaded It thus? The eadcrs whom you blindly follow without ever asking where you are being led. "The facts are that It will require the united ef fort of all classes, irrespective of politics! affinity, to relieve the farmers from the sack load that lays a tax upon every bushel of wheat they sell," says this editor that is constantly posing before the public as the pecial friend of the farmer. Then, why do you stand back and refuse to assist to re- mo? this tax of $40 on everv $100 worth of sacks used by the farmers? Why do you raise your voice against It when others a'tempt to remove this burden? You say that you want to protect the jute manufact urer and therefore you want to keep the duty on. But you have said as stiongly as your limited use of langi age will allow that this duty is not added to the price of the sacks. If this U so, is it not possible for you to see, what all others tee, then, that the duty does not protect the manu facturer? Is It not possible for you to understand this plain proposition : That if the price of sacks are not increased by im posing a duty on imported ones, then the American manufacturer of such sacks re ceives no benefit or protection for his busi ness by the levying of such duty, and, that so far as he is concerned, it Would make no difference In his business whether the duty is removed or not. Again that paper says: "We are readv and anxious to for ward every effort to lighten the burdens by adopting measures to cheapen the sacks as long as they stay, which they must do for sometime, and admitting the raw ma tcrial, which is not produced in this coun try, free, is a step in that direction, but the throwing down of the barriers and allow ing a foreign couiitry to govern the prices, unlimited, is not in that direction but in the opposite." It is difficult to be patient read ing such a mess of nonsense. Well, yes, It will be a step in the direction of making sacks cheaper by putting the raw material on the free list, but this cheapness applies only to such sacks as are manufactured here, and as not one in ten is manufactured .here the high price remains on all the others, which are imported and made dear er on account of the duty of f 40 on every $100 worth brought from abroad. Now then, here is the mest favorable opportunity ever off e rod to satisfy the anxiety which you groan under to make sacks cheap Just give in your adhesion to the proposal to put sacks on the free list and you wil then be proving your faith by your works If you are so ready to cheapen sacks why not propose some way to do it? You have offered no method or wav to ao it You can not hide your real motive behind the general statement that you want to I cheapen sacks. Those who are burdened by I his heavy duty demand 'hat you snal show your faith in words. Her m ah Radclyffe, secretary of the Boston Home Market club, is gibetted by the New York Nation for flooding the country w ith forged quotations from Eng. Hsh papers on the subject of "free trade' in America. But Radclyffe keeps righ on circulating his forged extracts and lies and the the republican papers copy and youch for them, And the republican cam paign committees, from national down, are circulating the forged quotations, knowing them to be forged.
