An Antwerp correspondent states that the other day more than 500 worn-out horses arrived there from England to be slaughtered in the Antwerp abattorie.

Press and printer. VYa&hinicton Letter. Tram anr rcfulMr Corrrapondast Washington, Jan. 17th, 1898 If the silver forces of the country ar thoTougbi)'united, they can win. That has been admitted by anti-silver mi n If the ailver forces are not united, it wii not be the fault of the men who are at the bead of the National Committee of the three parties which advocated the free coinage of silver in the last cam paign. Ait result of a number of eon ferencea beta een Chairman Jones of the ' democratic National Committee ; Cbait man Butler, of the populist National Committee and Chairman Towns, of the republican National Committee, a, joint address to the friends of silver has been prepared and will be widely circulated, with a view ofaecursng co-operative action in every Congressional District in which there are organizations of two or .mot of three parties in thia year's cam paign. In other words, the object is to acuretii e'ection of a silver represen - tative in every Congressional district which has a majority of silver voters. If the spirit of thia address is accepted and put into practical effect by the vot ers, there is no doubt that a majority of the next House will be silver men. . The long aad determined fight in the Fifty-third congress over the attempt to stop speculating on opHoos may be re- newed, as Representative Sullivan, of Mo., baa introduced an anti-option bill along about the eeme lines as the old Batch bill that was only defeated after A long and costly struggle in which all . of the stock and grain exchanges of the country united to fight the bill. Nearly everybody in Congreaa expects that a crisis will be reacted in Cuban matters in a very abort time. Those riots In Havana will force the band of tain government if they continue.

The fot.ditions of the ciiy financially on tbe -iret of the year I find upon in ve-tigation ol the reports of the recorder and treasurer for the past year to he as iollow: Bonded bebr, maturing in 1911 drawing 6 per cent... 75,000 00 Bonded debt maturing in 1915 ' drawings per cent .... :. 20.C00 00 Uutetanaiug bridge warrants. 9,073 03 Warrant diain in favor of Linn county.............. 1,200 00 urner outstanding warranta on January 1 , 1 898 ...... . 3,272,70 foul. $ 108,546, 47 Leas cash in tbe treasury as follows: Bond fend of 1895 on band. .$ . 7,263,94 General f aad on baud first of tbeyear...Z.;;....r. 320 14 Total...... r,54 08 foUlindebt Jan 1, B8. . $100,962 C6 . The indebtedness would be increased about $4500, provided the bridge com pa ny should prevail in a rait now before the supreme court of the state, in which they are claiming interest at the rate of eight per sent, per annum on the war rants which they hold, this vase will not be determined tor some time during the summer. The amount of delinquent taxes for 1897 is unusually large, the amount be ing $3175. The amount of the 1897 tax collected up to tlu first of the year was only $5797.05, which is fu'.ly $2000 less than has been collected ol any one year's tax for the last five ) ears. This in a measure accounts for the increase of the indebtedness over 1890. The total expenses incurred in main taming the city government for each of the five yeais next prectdiog January 1, 1898, as shown by the com pai alive state ment furnished the council by the re corder from the records of bia office ia aa follow a : ta 1893 the expenses were.... (14,517 3 In 1894....... , 14,259 26 In 1895.. 14,835 13 In 1896.... 15,155 96 In 1897 . 14.310 74 The interest on the bonded debt for the years 1893 and 1894 was $4500, re spectively ; for 1895 it was 15100 and for 1SG6 and 1897, $5700 each year, while the revenues tor the past two years from taxes and licensj ia fully $2500 abort of any one year In the past five years.

It will peceesarily follow that the greatest economy most be prac tised in all tbe departments of the city, and tbe greatest eff jrt should be made to reduce the expenses be ow the esti mate as given you in this message. At the session of the legislature in 1898, the charter was so amended as to make the recorder tbe assessor of the city. For the past two years tbe a users -ment has been made uoder this law. which has added a yearly expense of about $500. not in making tbe asses men alone, but in the advertising and collect ing the delinquent taxes. Under the former Uw.the assessment was made by the conuly aseeeaur and tne taxes col lected by the sheiiff, thereby saving to the city nearly the sum of $500 each year. I can see no reason why tb:s law should not prevail at this lime. Ia other cities ol the state this 'Uw ia in force. nl it it works equally well with them, I tee roreasoa why the charter of ibis city shou'd not be so changed, thereby aviog to tbe eitrtha, ainoaat require! to make the aeeeetment acd the collec tion of tbe taxes. I would therefor recommend to the council that at tbe next aesston of tbe legislature tbey take steps necessary to have tbe charter so amended. And aa a further matter of economy I would recommend that the cbatrer also be co amenJed that the city election be held every two years instead ol annually as now provided by law, and that all elective o Seers be to.- tne term of two yeara. I can see no reason why tbe marshal and treasurer should not bold he office for tbe same period as tbe fther elective offices. By makiog this change in tbe charter, tbe yearly expen ses of tbe city could be reduced conaid irable.and at the cams time the efficiency a tbe eervice would in no wise be im paired, but on tbe other band I beiievs the eervice would be improved. There is one other matter ia the char ter that I think should be amended; that is the price per day fixed for road work within the city limits. In my opinion tbe law should be so changed as to conform with the state law regulating the wages for county road work. In my message two yeara ago, and again on the first of laat year, I called tbe attention of ibe council to tbe bad condition of tbe streets in the busi ness portion of the cit, and asked them to take some steps io the near future looking' toward tbe permanent improve ment of that portion of tbe streets with some kind of pavement. It is a sell evi dent fact that a permanent roadbed can not be made by tbe graveling process. Especially ia that tbe ease where there is tbe amount of beavy teatring aa is done on tbe buaineaa prt.ona of First and Second streets. I would therefore recommend that tbe committee on streets and public prop erty, make investigatieoa as to tbe best aod cheapest kiuds of pavemerta and report to tbe council at no distant day their findings in tbe matter. The recommendations and suggestions which I have made t leave to yjur good judgment as to whether or not tbey are worthy of your serious consideration. The management of the affairs of tbe city has been entrusted to your care and sleeping, and you should administer them at al! timer, that your every action will merit the approval of your fellow citizens. I Shall, gentlemen of the council, to tbe best of my ability, perform the du ties devolved upon me as your presiding offioer. And I sincerely trust that I may have yonr assistance aod co-operation in all that may be to the bert inter eit and welfare of the cur. C. U. BUBKHART. Tbe Dbmoobat admits having bit at a joke.

This will give the Examiner au opportunity to do sarcastio arxmt President Huntington It is an interesting fact that the Mitch ell men are getting alt the appointments in Oregon. John H is evidently solid with the administration, lie has quit work on that road to Mars. Tne Eugene Journal called tbe wotk of Evangelist Ross "r t'' and even the Register leeented tt, tbo-igti not agree ing in the evangelist's manner of run ning revivals. Speaking of the attendance at the Janet Waldorf enertanraeot in Eugene the Register said the Parker was well filled, the Guard said tbe play was poo ly attended. Which prevaricated. An incident that is considered pecu liar occurred in Portland. A man jnst from tbe east was inquiring for f.rui land. It is tenerally supposed i hat they are on their way to the Klondike w hen they reach that city from the east. i In the Hat of passengeis on the Oregon waa the name of I' rank M RedfJeld, and since then Mr Frank M Redfield ol this city has had bis hands full pioviog to bis friends that be isn't on bis way to Skagway. The snow and bliasarde of the eaat and middle weel, which have been aweepiug this .way, are getting across the luoon taina in a weakened form. Thia morn ing the thermometer actually got down to 28 degrees above xero. Ugh I Dr. Litllefietd, who ha just returned to Portland from 2kagway on account of illnees, says that some ol the whiskey made there is so Tile that a single drink recently killed an Indian .and that it has bad a bad etlect on tbe business. Tbe followingis from Washington : fi. H. Gilfry distributed among eoaae of bis frienda in Washington some Oregon cp pies, which had been sent him from tbe WeeU Those who tasted them thought they were tbe best they had ever eaten. It is an intereetijg fact that wheat is as high in Liverpool now as it was when it brougbt 80 cents in this city, and yet the present price is only 65 cents. Tbis is probably duo more to high charters than anything elaa. Tbe fact though, whatever tbe cause, is an interesting one. Tbe county court at lieppoer has placed the levy for county expense at 12' mills, over three times that of Liuo county. Tbe total county levy wi.l be 20 mills, and Hepner people will also pay a 6 mill city tax aod a 10 mill spec ial school tax. Wouldn't that hurt the feelings of an Albany man. Tbe Salem Sentinel boldly ard leai lessly oppose Gov. Lord for reelection, and the sentinel is republican. It says be has allowed too much senatorial bus sing around bis head to tbe detriment of bia dnty. For some reason Uov. Lord has not been satisfactory to tbe SaUm papers. The real inside of the matter would be interesting Of ths fort 7 reindeers iro port kJ by Uncle Sam, (Aler, Mr Bride, et al) to relieve tbe stanrine (?) Kloncikers only fifteen arrived in Sew York city alive, and the Dbmockat will wager a pound of babbit metal that not one of them will ever see Dawson city. This was tbe greatest fool business of tbe nineteenth century. It is not always good policy for ama teurs to play in neighboring towns, as tbey almost ooiversaily are more severe ly criticised than profeesionais. A Eu gene company played in Junction last week, and in iu writeop the Time scored them in a lively manner, even declaring that on of the actor ought to have teen thrown off the lUgs . The moral is plain. Hon M A Miller, of Lebanon, in a pub lished letter to Uon T T Gear aeks a question. "Are yon in favor of paying th national debt in both mtala?" This question le brougbt out by th statement ot air. Oeer that be wae in favor of ti roetalism. Mr Geer U entitled to our ympatbv.

Poising himself above tbe silent, peaceful form, he grio ned in devilish glee; then, closing his eyes and gritting his teet.tbe keen-blad ed knife was thrust into the warm, kind oreaat. Not a word was uttered, lie went as he bad- come eilent'y, stealth ily. The deed was done." The levy in Wasco county, of whl jIi Tbe Ualles is the county sett has been placed at li mil's for running the county government alone. In Linn for the same4urpoee it ia oniv 3 29-30 mills. We refer to this fact merely to incite im migration toward Linn county. Cheap taxes, particularly when other thing, are at least equal if not in our favor, is an important item. Horrors! Portland is to borrow another $75,000 to spend for improve ments. Already owing several million dollars it is about time that her city fathers began tt think ol the day of reckoning. All over the United States municipal governments have been madly running in debt in a manner that it duplicated by a young man he would be called a spendthrift and profligate. All the facts point in etrong language to tbe probability of tbe extension of tbe Corvallis & Eastern to a connection with an eastern road, making it a part of a transcontinental line. Some people have made no their minds not to believe any thing of the kind unti. they see th rails down. Nevertheless the signs sre tirt class and the Democrat believes the present proposition is for business. . One man who cam out from Dawson (aid that next spring over $20,000,000 would vQ brought in gold dust to tbe mints. Mr. Smith of Oakville writing from there says the amount yi!l be about $6,000,000. The Smiths may be depended upon. Th Dbmockat is cou fident tbe amount will not exceed $5, 000,000.
