Very little was heard of the mortgage tax and usury laws, an appropriation for Oregon's exhibit at the Columbian exposition and matters regarding our system of assessment, before tho different papers in the state presented these subjects in their columns. Now they have been read by nearly every one, and dis cussed on every corner. If the laws passed at each general session of the legislature were published in the public prints, they would be come as popular as the subjects mentioned, and undoubtedly their publicity would tend largely to their observance. However strong ly it may be laid down in text books on jurisprudence that ignor ance of the law excuses no one, a person cannot be expected to obey a special statute in relation to some particular act which is not generally considered a crime, with out he has some knowledge ot its existence. There is no more avail able manner of giving a knowl edge of the laws governing the different communities than through the medium of the press, and not causing the people to remain ig norant of the statutes until they are arrested for their violation and made to answer in heavy damages TREACHEROUS FRIENDSHIP. General Miles now finds himself without the aid that friendly In dians have all along promised him. They pretended friendship but for the purpose of performing some act of treachery when the troops could be tafeen unawares. Gen. Miles was suspicious of them and learning of this, they realized that it was useless to longer disguise their intensions, so left the troops and joined the hostiles. The out break must now be suppressed by the troops alone, for no depend ence can be placed upon any proffered aid from professed friendly Indians. The cunning and treachery of these Sioux has made itself manifest in their late outbreak, and a terrible massacre has only been averted by the shrewdness of that experienced Indian fighter, Gen. Miles, who has so far been able to outwit them. How far off the end of this diffi culty is, cannot be told now. It is hardly probable that the hostiles will be brought back into the res ervations until they have had a battle with the troops and nearly their entire number exterminated. It is only fear that keeps the In dian wards of the Uuited States government peaceable, and it requires a terrible punishment every few years to keep them in this state. They should receive a most effectual lesson from Gen. Miles this time. Telegram.

Washington, Dec. 29, 1890. Nothing has been gained by the attempt made to hold congress to gether during the Christmas holi days, it simply cannot be done, and this attempt has been like its long line of unsuccessful prede- cessors. The .House, wuicn au- journed from last Tuesday to Fri day, had less than half a quorum on the last named day, and was compelled to adjourn until tomor row, three days being as long as either House or Senate can ad- iourn without tne adoption oi a joint resolution providing for are- cess. The Senate isn't any better off; it adjourned from Christmas eve to Saturday, on which day less than twenty Senators to be exact, just eighteen were, in at tendance. It then adjourned until to-day, and is still without a quorum, but the impression is that it will go ahead with the de bate on the election bill, quorum or no quorum, putting off until next week, when it is hoped nearly all of the Senators will have re turned, the calling up of the clo ture resolution offered by Senator Aldrich. It is thought that the House, if it can get a quorum an important if will devote a considerable por tion of this week to a debate of the shipping bill. To-day there is nothing like a quorum of Repre sentatives in this city, and the prediction is being freely made that the House will adjourn for three days'more immediately after it is called to order tomorrow. From this it may be seen that so far as any practical results are con cerned, Congress might as well have taken the usual two weeks Christmas recess. Secretary Noble aad Commis sioner Raum have both endorsed the bill, which has been favorably ameer. Unequal distribution of wealth is often alluded to, but the extent of its nnevenness is probably not understood. According to recent estimates it annears that the ag gregate wealth of only 3 5,000 per sons in this country is equal to $31,500,000,000, or an average of 2.100.000 for each person. Of 7 i that number eighty men are worth the total of $400,000,000, or an average of $5,000,000 each. Com ing still higher up the list of the wealthy, there are ten men worth $70,000,000 each. Now for the crowning statement. Five of the richest men in the United States own $525,000,000 of its wealth, or an average of the enormous sum of $105,000,000 each. "What a com roentary! The wealth of these five men divided among 52,500 men would give them the snug little Bum of $10,000. But if all the 'wealth of the land was divided pro rata among the people, very likely in a few years it would be found about as unequal as it is at pres ent. Astorian. centives to settlement, and factor ies employing consumers are the niir.lei around which cities are built. In every portion of Oregon there has been a lack of this fac ulty of enterprise, and wealth, ac cumulated easily in early days, has not multiplied as it should have done. An apt illustratton can be seen in the history of The Dalles, which in this regard has not changed the well known record oi the state. Property to-day would have been worth more than double, and the population four times what it is, if boats had been placed on the rivor five ' years ago, rail roads built to the interior and fac tories established. Such enter prise would not have been specu lations, but simply what the de velopment of our resources could support. The wealthy could have been wealthier, and the poor in much better condition. This can be easily demonstrated by the growth of other cities, and the Quicker our business men realize it the sooner the undoubted nat ural wealth of our city and vicinity will be made known.-rimes Mountaineer.

Treasurer Huston has, at the urgent request of the Presi dent, withdrawn his resignation which has been in Mr. Harrison's hands for some time, and con sented to retain his position"during the remainder of the administra tion. The latest move of the anti- Cleveland democrats is the start ing of a boom for Hon. Wm. R. Morrison (''Horizontal Bill") at present a member of the Inter state Commerce Commission. Representative Sayers, of Texas, who is filling the position of wet nurse to the boomlet, indulges in the rainbow prodiction that Mr. Morrison could not only carry all tlie doubtful states, but Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan besides. There's no tariff on talk, and Mr. Sayers might have included the whole Union just as well, and with just as much foundation. Senators Shoup and McConnell, of Idaho, are expected here the latter part of this week or the first of next. Their coming will raise the membership of the Senate to 88, and the republican vote there in to 51. It is stated here that both of the new Senators favor free coinage, and also they will both vote lor the cloture rule and for the Election bill I understand, from a source that has already proved trustworthy, that a majority of the House com mittee on Rules favor making a favorable report to the House on the resolution recently offered providing for an ' investigation of the charges that twenty-seven Representatives and Senators were members of pools formed to spec ulate in silver bullion while the silver bill, which became a law at the last session of Congress, was pending, and J,hat such a report will be made in a few days. Mr. Ryan, our 'minister to Mex ico, will return to his duties in a few days", and I violate no confi dence in saying that he will carry with him full instructions as to his line of action, in promoting reci procity" between this country and Mexico. The President and Mr. Blaine'are both very much inter ested in this matter, and are pre pared to go as far as they can without conflicting with the pro tection of American industries. Secretary Proctor's family had a narrow escape Saturday afternoon. They had just left a large double sleigh to go into a store, when the horses in some manner became frightened and ran away, smash ing the sleigh to pieces and badly injuring the driver." The runaway team was recognized by many peo ple as that of Secretary Proctor, and a rumor was soon flying around town that the Secretary, Mrs. Proctor, and their two boys had been killed. There was the wildest excitement until it was learned to be untrue. Everything is -in readiness, and the programme for the President's official New Year's- day reception has been made public. It will not differ materially from those pre viously held. The nomination of Judge Brown of Michigan, to succeed the late Justice Miller of the Supreme Court, grows in favor as the peo ple learn more of that gentleman, and Mr. Harrison has been the re cipient of many congratulations on his good judgment in making the selection. That Hon. John H. Mitchell will be re-elected to the senate, there is now hardly a doubt. No one seems to have the grit to stand asrainst him and it is well such is the case, for he will have no mate rial opposition when the legisla ture meets. So great is the pres sure for his re-election that even the Oregonian dares not face the t ide of public opinion and oppose him, but must smother the volcan ic bomb that it would like to hurl against him.

Cursd by Cuticura at Cost of $3.50 Now Does Her Own Work. A Wonderful Cure. I must write and tell you of the success I have had in usiug the Cuticura .Remedies. I had been troubled for nearly five years with skin disease in the right limb, ad all the doctors in this city could do nothing for it. I tried everything, until at last I thought I should have to have the limb am putated at the knee. It was swelled to twice its natural size, and I could barely hobble around on crutches. I was in the house, part of the time bedridden, for three years, aud could not get out. I happened to look in the newspaper and saw the Cuti cura advertisement, and as a last resort tried that. I used two bottles of the Re solvent aud three boxes of the Cuticura. I am now able te'do all my work, both in house and out of doors, and my limb is as natural as could possibly be under any cir cumstances. It is a most wonderful cure. I had given up hopes of ever being well agaiu. If this will benefit you, you are welcome to use it to the best advantage. Any one not crediting this can tind me by addressing me at the above named city. Mrs. Harriet Stickler, Iowa City, la .
