It will keep the democratic organ busy trying to explain away tin weak points of the presidential hacks in their own stables. S'.ates man. Every one of the presidents up to Lincoln's time wore no beards nor sported mustches. With the ex ception of Andrew Johnson, all the presidents since Lincoln's time have made use of either one or the other. During the past nine months there has been a falling off of im ports to the extent of $3,000,000, and an increase of exports to the amount of $120,000,000. The new tariff law is now doing its own talking. Henceforth Governor McKinley of Ohio, will be a more prominent figure than ever in republican jjoli tics. He ought to feel kindly to wards Oregon for if every other state delegation voted in like pro portion he would be the republi can nominee for president. As torian. i - The republican press has cordi ully endorsed the nomination of Harrison andReid. Some papers, like the Chicago Tribune, perfer red Blaine, but they have all re spected the will of the convention and metaphorically speaking have taken off their coats for a lively campaign. The next elections of any national importance will be held in Ver mont on September 6th and Maine on September 1 2th. State officers and members of congress will be elected and both parties will make a strong effort to increase their voile for prestige in the No vember national election. ihe average cost ot convicting a murderer in Ohio is given at $5000. If the people of that state get through with murder trials at that figure, and have any reason able assurance of getting rid of the criminal as the law provides after the cost is taxed up against them, the people of Oregon should first congratulate them and then try to find out how it is done an. Oregoni- The first republican convention fipoke for states of which Iowa was . the most westerly, excepting Cali fornia, on the Pacilic coast. Min nesota was then a territory. The great Northwest, the republican reserve, was under Federal admin istration. Then only 149 electo ral votes were needed to elect. The total popular vote at the suc ceeding election was 4,000,000. The defeated candidates alone in this year's contest will poll not less than 6,000,000 votes. The graduating class at Yale this year embraces 179 memders. Of this total, 22 are democrats ; 20 call themselves "independents," and the remainder, 137, are repub licans and protectionists. The ir resistible logic of facts counts for more with these intelligent young men than mere theory. It must be discouraging to the noted free trade professor of political econ omy at Yale to find, the students refuse to accept his theories. A part of the declaration of principles adopted by the recent republican convention at Min neapolis is the following: We ap prove the policy of extending to towns, villages and rural commun ities the advantage of the free de livery service now enjoyed by the larger cities of the country. The liberal policy of the republican party in postal affairs during many years proves that in this brief item there is something more than a mere campaign declaration. Ore gonian. The unanimity of the republi cans in favor ot protection is in striking contrast with the discord among the democrats over what they call tariff reform. All re publicans are agreed on the Min- . neapolis platform that "on all im ports " coming into competition . with the products, of American labor there should be levied du ties equal to the difference be tween wages abroad and at home." Against this plain American prin ciple the democrats can agree upon nothing. We may reason ably expect, therefore, that upon this issue all independent, intel ligent men will vote for Harrison and Reid. Thb San Francisco delinquent lax list was too large for any .newspaper sheet. It is printed as supplement to tne uunetin in a 110 pages of small type. CEXS US VA L UA TIOKS. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on the assessed valuation of property in the various slates ol I lie Union in 1890. About- the only use of the bulletin will be to show how inadequate the assess ments in many states are to reveal the true value of the property within them, for it can hardly be supposed by anybody that the fig ures given in the bulletin are even approximately correct. Thus, for example, Illinois with her well cultivated soil, her rich towns. her vigorous metropolis of Chi- i r cago ana a population oi niuie than 3,000,000. is reported to have had in 1S90 a wealth equal -to 727,4 16,252, while in 1880 her wealth was valued at $78(,(51G,- 394, showing a decrease during the decade of $59,200,142. Ut course sucii a snowing as uns is absurd. It is stated in the bulletin that while the law of Illinois pro vides that all property shall be as- essed for taxation at its true value, it has been estimated that the assessments in 18S0 were only fifty per cent of the true value, and in 1S90 were only twenty-five per cent of it. Oilier states show -i i . n V .1 a similar condition oi anairs, ana as a consequence the statistics are of but little value in forming, a conception as to the real compara tive wealth ol the several states. The statistics of California are, perhaps, more accurate than the others. In that state the wealth is given for 1890 at $1,09S.541,- 564, against $584,57S,030 in 1880, being an increase of $513,963,528. This gave California in 1890 a per capita of $909.29, being greater than that of any other state in the Union, with the exception of Massa chusetts, where it amounted to $962.12 per capita, and Rhode Island, where it amounted to $931.- 28 per capita. Ihe assessed wealth of the whole Union was reported in 1880 at $16,902,093,543 and in 1890 at $24,651,585,465. How ; near accurate these figures are it is impossible to say, but the cen- ' sus officials estimate that they are not equal to one-half the true wealth of the country and that our absolute wealth is probably in the neighborhood of $64,000,000. Wiiitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune and republican candidate for the vice-presklencv, receives warm commendation from leading New York journals. The Herald urged his nomination before and during the convention, and congratulated him and the country alter the nomination had been made. The Sun spoke of him in this generous manner viz.: The nomination of Mr. Wiiitelaw Reid adds greatly to the strength of the republican national ticket. Rarely has any ot the candidates for this office united in his person so many qualities bearing tne pro mise of success. Familiarity with public affairs, abilities proved in many departments of intellectual effort, judgment ripened and disci plined by experience, and that great advantage which proceeds from being known in all parts of the country, all these belong to Mr. Reid. Everybody understands that if he were vice-president, the functions of the office, however great their extent might prove to be, would be administered with dignity and wisdora,and, above all, with entire patriotism. Indeed, we esteem Mr. Reid as the strong side ot the Harrison ticket. Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon, on the 15th inst. commuted the sentence of W. B. Daniels, sent to the penitentiary for seven years for rape on March 10, 1890; Ar thur llanlan, trom linker county, December 9, 1889. for seven years and a line of $500, for the crime of manslaughter, and George F. Gorman, from -Marion county, June 30, 1890, for five years for assault with a dangerous weapon. Here are three criminals, convict ed of grave offenses, let loose upon the community after serving but a small part of their original sen tences. A governor who regards his pardoning power not as a grave public trust to be invoked only when some clear miscarriage of justice has been wrought, but as a 'private, personal prerogative, by which he can vent his personal sympathies, is a public calamity. Such official jail-breakers for dangerous convicts belong to the class of cranks, who, when in pub lic office, recall by their conduct the current proverb that "the over-zealous and ill-guided ass is sometimes as dangerous to man kind as the level headed rogue." Post-Intelligencer. President Harrison now has more big offices to fill than at any other time since the beginningof his term. A successor to Secretary of state Blaine is to be chosen, and according to. law the office must be filled before July 4; the Rus sian mission is vacant, also the comptrollership " of the currency and a seat on the supreme bench,, and a brigadier general in the army, a governor of the soldiers' home and a judge-advocate gen eral of the navy are to be ap pointed. ' Marion liarland's Endorsement OF Royal Baking: Powder. Extract from Marion Harland's Letter to the Royal Baking Powder Co. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, June 13, 1892. The president is still receiving congratulations on his renomina tion. At first they came princi pally by telegraph, but this morn ing brought the first wave of a deluge by mail. They came fronr all sections and all classes, and they all sing one song the tri umphant election of Harrison and Reid. The congressional delegates and' visitors to the national con vention have nearly all returned to Washington, and as one man they' are of the opinion that the convention made a rattling plat form and a winning ticket, and that there was less dissatisfaction at its close, than was ever shown at any national convention at which there was a fight for the nomina tion. . This is gratifying, and leaves little doubt of . republican success in November. It is conceded by all that no man who is a republi can can give a valid excuse tor not cordially supporting Harrison and Reid; and all that is necessary to make their election certain is that they receive the full republican vote, The democrats are positively dazed at the situation. Where they expected to find a strong min ority of the republican party lalkimr doubtfully ol the success of the national ticket, if not act uallv Ihrealeninz open revolt against it, as a result of the warm contest at Minneapolis, they find the republicans marching shoulder to shoulder, without a break in the solid column. Whatever there may have been before and durinr the convention there are today no anti-Harrison republi cans, which speakcs volumes ior the the nartv and its future: and the president has no better friends today than those whose relations with Mr. Blaine are the closest and most intimate, and, I know, that unless prevented by. sickness, Mr. Blaine will take the stump lor Harrison and Reid. j A buncomb resolution has been introduced in the house and re ferred to the committee on foreign affairs, directing the president to sever diplomatic relations with the Russian government until such i lime as that government shall cease discriminations against the I Hebrews because of their religious faith, and remove the "arbitrary and brutal restrictions now im posed upon them against the pro test of the civilized world. What ! would be thought of the Czar if he should order diplomatic re lations with the United States (severed until such, time as we ! should repeal the Chinese exclu sion law, or any other law upon ; our statute books? He would i have just as much right to do so ' as we have to follow this resolu tion. It is the introduction ol such resolutions that, makes sensi ble men think it might be a good idea to require all bills and reso lutions to be approved by an of ficial having authority to that of the managing editor of a news paper. - . Much interest is felt in the se lection of a new secretary of state. The president, who is now con sidering the matter, fully realizes the importance of selecting a man big enough for the position and he will make no mistake. There is no foundation for the various ru mors of the position having been tendered to Mr. Depew and others; no one has yet been offered the place.. Senator Quay is authority for the statement that the ..men who opposed the president in J he national 'convention will all be found taking active parts in work ing for the election of the ticket, just the same as if they had named the candidate. That's the sort of talk, it is no ; more and no tJess than every republican has a I right to expec t of every other re- publican. While every man i natnrallv has his nersonal Drefer- ence it is the party and its great principles that . have made the J United States the greatest and most prosperons of all countries, that all patriotic republicans place above and beyond any man or set of men. Men die, but the princi ples of the republican party will live as lona: as Americans love liberty and appreciate prosperity. Ihe democratic situation is be coming acute, particularly to those democrats who realize the weak ness of Mr. Cleveland as a candi date. Col. L. L. Polk, president of the farmers', alliance, and the man who was expected to aid the people's party in getting control of three or four southern states is dead. When the election returns are in it will be found that the third party idea is also dead, so far as the south is concerned. - The Oregon asylum for the in sane may not be a model institu tion ot its kind, but, though the aggregate cost of maintaining it is heavy, the cost per capita is cer tainly as low as the most rigid economist cold expect. Ihe monthly report of the superintend ent lor- Mav snows me average daily number of inmates during that period to have been 75S, and the aveaage monthly cost per capita of keeping them $11.03 Ut tne wuoie number remaining in the institution June 1, 529 were majes and 237 females, about the usual proportion in. which the dis sipations and businees cares o men discount the domestic worries and peculiar physical sufferings of women in making up i lie record of insanity. The care that is be stowed by a pitying common wealth upon these miserable crea tures, who are practically dead vet to whom the boon of death is denied, has been evolved from in telligent. sympathy and progressive medical science, and the cost of it is borne ungrudingly by those more fortunate in life, or wiio have ordered their lives more judiciously. Oregonian. On the morning after the deci sive day of the Minneapolis con vention, the New York Tribune had an able article endorsing the re-nomination of President Harri son, concluding with tins para graph, on the nomination of tlie editor of the Tribune himself for vice president: "The nomination of Mr. Wiiitelaw Reid for vice presi dent completed the work of (lie convention. On this subject ;t becomes the Tribune to spettk briefly and simply. The dislinc tion was not sought, and cannot insure a more zealous and loyal support of the republican ticket by the Tribuna than it would have given to any of the candidates whom the convention could have chosen. The nomination of Mr. Reid does, however, impose upon this journal special obliga tions of courtesy and fairness and patriotism, which it. will endeavor so to discharge as fo deserve the approval of fiiends" and the re spect of opponents."...-' The poltical complect ion of the next Oregon, stale legislature will be as follows: Senate Republi cans 18; Democrats 12. House Republicans 36; Democrats 24. - According to press despatches dated June 21st, Rev. Charles A. Rriggs and wife who created so much notoriety among religous circles' during the past year have enrolled themselves in the nnxili ary of tlie Salvation arrcn. Our idea is that the next legis lature will be a pretty good one. There will be a fair sprinkling of able fellows. We would rather see a larger sprinkling of repub licans, but they will be thereat the next meeting of the body, wheri there will be more need for them. Statesman.. Buggirs and' Carbiaoes.
