E. P. MfttHJIJNACK, Secretary. m The last session of the legisla ture enacted a law whereby many duties of the police judge and city treasurer have been obviated. Heretofore the $uty of assessing the city and making the tax roll wag assigned to the police jujjge-,' and the task of collecting J lie taxes devolved upon the citytreasurer. Under the uew lavhe duties of the former have Jreen assigned to . . i I. - e itne counyt-essessor, anu muse ui fKh letter to the sheriff. The po lice judge is now required to keep a record of the council proceedings, draw warrants on the treasurer, preside at all sessions of the police court, which are very unfrequent, and attend to some other minor rJGFair3. .

The council can not be deaf to theclam mor on the part of our citizens for retrenchment. Now is a good time for the members of that body to display their ability as fianciers. Let us hope that they will give the matter their immediate attention. Wool . growers who vote the democratic ticket must be insane. All thinking men should look well into the cause of their reverses; Fhould give caret nl thought to leg islation effecting their interests, find vote with the party whose principles stand for protection of their business. A decrease of 2, 225.536 in the number sheep in the United States last year i due to a fear of free trade in wool. A total loss of $30,723,154 in the value of our flocks is due to the same cause. Thus, says the Amer ican Economist, has the soup house administration carried its policy of prostration onto American farms. In this connection it is interesting to note that. on r-ebruary 1st, there were 23,669,914 pounds of ioreign ' wool waiting in bond at New York alone for remission of the duty so that it can rush in and help to glut the market and hasten the ruin of the American farmer. .

Malheur's moaning offra.Krneli nlains in. Clatson's svl- vadLJ?olitudes. Statesman, ; This s "sbm -ra jt ' EFFECT OF THE WILSON BILL. That the Wilson bill will pass the senate, is almost an assured fact. Amendments and modifica lions may be made to it before its final passage, but its main features will not be materially effected, and withal it will remain a low taiifl measure, paralyzing our industries and ruining our workingnien. Ii is sure to become a law, and will remain in operation at least three years, because it. is hardly proba ble that the republicans will regain control of all branches of the gov ernment before 1S97, and it will require control of all then to make the change. It now becomes a matter of paramount considera tion to ascertain what its effects will be. By the triumph of the democratic party at the last presi dential election we are now suffer ing a season of depression and en forced idleness. By the endorse ment of the Chicago platfor.n the democracy was pledged to a policy of tariff tinkering. Its results are painfully apparent. AH industries affected by the McKinley bill have been either checked or paralyzed. Manufac Hirers and dealers would not be so insane as to buy raw material and by working it up into a finished product accumulate a large stock, when by such an operation he was liable to lose money. The proper thing to do under such circum stances was to dispose of the stock already accumulated, and manu facture no more than sufficient to supply the present demand. This was th-' first cause of the depres sion. By reducing the output of our manufactories a vast number of men were thrown out of em pioyment and tins destroyed or reduced their means for buying, consequently tiie sales of our tradespeople have been materially lessened and complete stagnation l the result. When a change in exist ing conditions! is forseen. those whose interests will be effected seek to accommodate thfm- selvesto I hefiew conditions. The enactment of the Wilson bill means a departure from the policy under which he country has been pros perous and those affected by it are adjusting their business affairs ac yordingly. Producers understand that their products must comeinto competi tion with those of foreign pro ducers, on terms less favorable than they have enjoyed in the past; that they must produce cheaply enough to meet the products man ufactured by cheaper labor. Wages must be reduced to meet this. Strikes aro of no effect for the reason that plenty of idle men are to be had for any position that is offered. Protected in lustries are by no means the only ones af fected; each and every one must suiier. . A reduction of wages in any one large field of labor means a re duct ion all along the line until ev ery wage-earner shares iu the de crease. Every one knows what to ex pect and as soon as the Wilson bill goes into force, the process of re duction will go steadily on until wages have fallen to a level com mensurate with the protection af forded by it. This reduction has been on for some time in anticipa tion of the present conditions, for which the democratic partv is alone to blame, and it must con Unue until the minimum is reach ed. Factories, mills and other in dustnes may start up, but with less hands and at reduced wages, nit - f ine price oi our laoor will more nearly reach the European stan dard, their ability to buy will be curtailed, and thus our store keepers will generally experience hard times. The farmers will also be injured. Their market will de crease. They will see plainly that the buying capacity of the masses has been diminished, which will affect them just as it does every one else. I hough groceries clothing and provisions may be cheaper, they will have less money with which to buy, and thus the advantages promised them by free trade demagogues will turn out to be a delusion and a snare. Thk lime for city election will soon arrive. Voters in each ward should be on the alert for materal with which to fill up their ticket. Nominate only those who will best subserve the interests of our city; men who understand the mangemeut of affairs; men who will pay the same, attention to details in affairs of the city as they do in their own business; who are careful, capable and eco nomical. . VQx February 1, at the port of New York, there were 1,908,274 pounds of wool goods, valued at $1,250,029, and 7,822,829"siuare yards of woolen dress goods; worth $1,389,077, waiting for the Wilson bill to become a law so as to einv pete with the American mills and reduce the value of our labor. ; The country may e cuect by the time the Columbian- postage dis appears that some original mind will rise up and say fthey have -i stamped out. PlfiL Time.?. TAUGHT BY ADVERSITY. Editor Gazette: We are now learning the , uses of adversity. Although the present hard times naturally seem an unmixed evil, close observation will reveal there in object lessons of great value and importance. Human ' nature is so constituted that we can never fully appreciate the blessing of prosperity until from some cause we are deprived of it. Business men who felt and encouraged dis satisfaction with profits twoye rs ago did not realize then as thev do now that they were doing well. the fact that they were prosper ous seems now to have been self- evident, yet this prosperity, as well as the causes which provided it, are entirely ignored. It was impossible that they siiould recog nize and value the causes of a con dition, i he existence of which they denied. They learned no valua ble lesions while they were grow ing rich; fair returns on invest ments only brought intereht, with visions of larger operations and greater profits. Man never looks closely to the cause of his happi ness, but inquires minutely why he suffers pain. Therefore busi ness men are now actively engaged looking lot causes that occasioned the business depression that every where prevails. The hard times of the present alone have enabled them to appreciate, retrospective ly, the good limes of the past. Thirty years of prosperity failed to teach them the lesson they will acquire in four of adversity. Here after they will be able to call to mind the causes of past business activ.ty, because they now clearly understand tfie reason of present depression. Business men are not the only pupils being benefited in this school of adversity. The idle and unproductive millions of dol lars lying in the vaults of our great commercial centers are speaking to the capitalist in unmistakable terms. He valued not conditions favorable to the profitable invest ment.of his money while they existed, but can fully appreciate ihem when they have passed away. He is made wiser if not better, through his own reverses. He can now understand that the activity of money may be arrested; its in vestment endangered; its capacity for increase paralyzed. He can fully realize that cash is not busi ness activity, but only her hand maiden, subservient at all times to the laws governing her mistress; that it can only measure values, and facilitate transactions when conditions over which it has no control make exchanges desirable; that it is a convenience, but not a necessity, and that no mat ter what its volume, it can never necessitate the building of a mill or the turn ing of a spindle. But the greatest benefit of these hard times will ac crue to him who needs it the moist: the bread wiuner. Being compell ed to labor more, he thinks less than either the business man or capitalist. Like them, he failed to diagnose his condition and sur roundings Eating at his own ta ble, he spurned the wholesome food of the American laborer, and sitting by his own fireside, he mur mured because his cottage did not expand into a castle. A quarter of a century, with conditions most favorable to his class of any known since the world began, failed to impress him with a knowledge of his happy lot, or win from him a recognition of its beneficent effects. The iron hand of adversity is teach ing him now. Glaring contrasts must be observed even by the most stupiil men. Two pictures are ever before him. One of care, poverty and despondency, of en forced idleness and gaunt famine, meets him at his own threshold, and follows him wherever he goes; the other, brightly beaming with health, hope and happiness, stands foremost in his memory of home as it was but two short years ago. He has more leisure for thought and reflection. Necessity is forcing him to reason. He cannot shut his eyes to his own distress, tr the pitiful condition of his unhappy family. He will now Bee that he has but one comodity to sell his labor. When no one will buy that he must starve. It matters not food and raiment are cheap. He has nothing to buy with, in a land of plenty. He is as helpless as the children who look to him for bread. He and they will suffer until he has an opportunity ,-which he will joyously embrace, to assist in bringing back the old happy times. G. W. The responsibility of the de pressed financial and business con dition of the country rests upon President Cleveland.' Even the New York Press goes so far as to say that one year of Clevelandism has cost the American people more than four years of civil war. The history of the past twelve months is an unbroken record of disgrace and disaster; and for the evil that has been wrought the sole respon sibility belongs to the democratic party and u rover Cleveland. , Two greater cowards than De QajGOLoriOIeHo never Hyer NO TIME FOR QUIBBLING. People in this vicinity will be pleased at the prospects of secur ing an appropriation of five thous and dollars for ; improvement ot the Willamette near Corvallis. This amount, however, will not be sufficient with which to complete the work already under consider ation. At the very lowest esti mate it will require ten thousand dollars. This amount judiciously expended may be sufficient to re move the obstruction at the upper end of the old west channel, but this is not all that is required. This water way is now seven feet below low water mark, and t must be dredged out for a distance of at least one thousand feet in order to be of any practicable use. A wing dam at the mouth of East river is necessary that the volume of water which flows through it niav be forced into the proposed cut off. If these plans can be successfully carried out during the coming sum mer months, further appropria tions will be unnecessary. To do this, the present appropriation must be doubled. Five thousand dollars spent for this purpose may result in some temporary relief, but much of it will be wasted by leaving the work in an uncomplet ed state. To afford pfcrnianent relief the plans under contempla tion must be carried out in fi.ll. This can be accomplished with ten lltousaud dollars and no less. Farmers can plow and raise crops, but they can not be expected to keep rivers open for navigation. This is -ne of the principal duties ol the government, and when such matters are brought to the atten tion ot congress, and the necessity of prompt action made p'ain, its members should lose no time in quibbling over such a small amount. ORGANIZATION "nECESSAR Y. Now is the time to organize Republicans should organize cluts in every precinet, that their in fluence may permeate every set tlement in the county. The neces sity for thorough organization was never more apparent. We l meet a demo pop fusion in June, It must be defeated. These clubs , should be organized not only for the coming campaign, but for the maintaining of a permanent or ganization for the constant spread of republican principles, during the long intervals between elections. Do not hesitate because you can not have a large club. Organize at once. Six members are enough to form a club that will be recog nized by the state club, and its delegate will be received into the state club biennial meeting. A club of that size would exert far greater influence for good than twice that number unorganized Suggestions for organization and a form of constitution and by-laws have been sent to prominent re publicans in each precinct during j the past week, by the correspond ing secretary of the Benton county republican club, and asked to use their efforts toward perfecting an organization in their respective precincts. Republicans will not be satisfied this year by just mere ly defeating their opponents, but they want to roll up such an over whelming majority that republi cans everywhere will joyfully shout the name of Oregon. THE POPULIST PLATFORM. The populist platform certainly will be a grievous disappointment to the nnimlists of the state. It must be m m proof to them bow little they know what thev want. They are a thor oughly discontented and querulous sort of people, satisfied with nothing that exists, talking large and wide about the evils and abuses of society and government; but when they come to make a statement of what they think is really the matter, what they actually want, how they would reform nolitical society and regenerate the state, their performance is amusingly barren, jejune, inane. . The prophecy was thunder; the result is small beer. We had looked for a platform which would properly denounce any use or influence of money on industry or bus iness, and deliverance of the people, therefore, from the tyranny of valuec, But we see nothing in the platform that promises thin freedom to the peo ple, Theie is no suitable denunciation of eoldbugs and plutocrats. Even free coinage of silver is overlooked, except in the vague reference, to the Omaha platform; and yet, if populism has any mission, free coinage of silver cornea nearer to an expression of its fundamental idea or purpose than any other single thing. How could these followers of Governor Pennoyer over look the great question on which he has severed his relations with the dem ocrat io party and net up as a . rival to Groyeri Cleveland in leadership ; and f irnel We Wd-' been told that the crime of Ihe agej- against which popu lism wai the organized protest of a be- . 1 ' 1 - . .ft.. mliiJ, iraycu peoiw, w wwuku " silver has received at tW bands of the ?w ittrld. And yedFO this crime is overlooked, Bilver is forgotten, yaud the ' leading feature of the platform is a demand for the initiative and referen dum in legislation a vagary which nobody cares about, and which would be harmless in proportion to its failure to carry out the purposes of those who recommend it. Partial reparation for this neglect of silver is, however, m-ide by the con vetiou's demand for the repeal of the specific contract law. This law was enacted iu 1664, when the people of Oregon wire honest enough to fro'vn upon any disposition to pay debts in money inferior iu value to that in use when the debt was contracted. But this old-fashioned honesty is now out of date, at least with makers of this platform. The idea is that the specific contract law makes it impossible for the man who contracts to pay a debt in good money to pay it in cheap stuff; so there must be no law to hold him to his contract. This is quite like the method of that great English populist and reformer of the olden time who thought it 'fa lamentable thing that the skin of an -innocent lamb should be made parchment, and lhat parchment, being scribbld o'er and sealed, should undo a man." Perhaps the reason why the convention did not pronounce for bilver was the thought that even silvtir was too valuable u thing to pay debs with. The single tax people got no recog nition. 1 Ins seems to have baen due to the fact that the convention was controlled by country landholders, who are unwilling, even for the sake of great reform, to be taxed out of the ownership of their Lnds. It is one thing to gt rid of the specific contract law, so you may beat the money lender or the merchant out of the money you agreed to pay him, but quite a difiVr- nt thing when it is proposed that all taxes shall go upon land. Everyone expects to see from all parlies this year a demand for ccono - my in public atlairs. It will be . . . ... . enforced through necessity, with or without a demand from any party. Tha .fl.tlli..-f n.. I.,.. , ti...r...a ... 1 1 1 ' ' find itself the exclusive nronrietor of this idea, which is the only thing in its platform worth considering at all. We are disappointed in the platform, therefore, because we expected some great rhetoric in denunciation of the methods of the world, lurid fulmina tions against the plutocrats, s.tvage outbursts upon the tyranny of gold, and woeful pictures of the 'suffering and miseries of the people the whole red dened with terrible threats of ven geance, and then rainbowed with glo rious promises of redress. We must confess our disappointment at finding the country in no worse condition than indicated iu this platform, or our disgust with the platform itself as a most lame and impotent conclusion. -Oregonian. What is Eczema? It is an agony of agonies. A torture of tortures. It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance. It is thousands of pin-headed ves icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw excoriated skin. No part of the human skin is exempt. It tortures, disfigures and humil iates more than all other skin diseases combined. Tender babies are among its most numerous victims. They are often born with it. Sleep and rest are out of the question. - Most remedies and the best phy sicians generally fail, even to relieve. If CUTICURA did no more than cure Eczema, it would be entitled to the gratitude of mankind.

The hard times of the past. year will be greatly increased by the passage of the infamous Wilson bill. Every possible effort should be made to defeat the measure to delay it in any event. We can better afford a lew months of uii-l certainty than four years of gener- al adersity, suffering and distress. Under the most favorable circum stances, the Wilson bill, if it be-' come a law, cannot be changed un-' til the summer of 1397. United; States senators, irrespective ofj party, should be urged to defeat or by every parliamentary method; delay the passage of this mensure. ' On June 4th and November 6th, : the people will have an opportu nity to speak. Their verdict must be awaited. De Gama and Mello should go onto the-comic opera stage or else join some burlesque company. Their mangement of 'he Brazilian revolution has been nothing but a farce.
