Tlie messagrt of W. W. Thayer to the Twelfth Biennial Smion of the Li gislature, proved to be an able and masterly address. It tienis with nound advice and wholesome suggestions to the members of the Legislature res pecting their duty as one of the co ordinate brunches of the government, calling their attention to legislation that is most needed at the present timn, snd advises them to employ their entire time in considering and acting upon those measures only which ore "calcu lated to benefit tho community at large. The Governor shows that ho is inti mately acquainted with the condition of all'airs, and the needs of the. people, and his message recommends itself l.y its plain, unvarnished statement of facts connected with his four years ad ministration rh executive of tho Slate. He shows tint current expense.? of the State, during the fiscal years lSSl and 1882, including various claims and ap propriations, to be. about $400,000, and a balance now in the treasury belong ing to the State of $1 10,000 over and above all expenses and 'legitimate claims for the two years named, and expresses tho opinion that laid balance is the largest sum that has ever been left unexpended of the current expen ses since the Stato Government was or ganized. Tho Governor suggests that this balance should be wisely applied to tho interest and advantage of the State. He thinks that the constitution of the Slate does not contemplate a fixed tax for an indefinite, length of time for the purpose of raising a revenue, as has been levied in the past, but that it re quires the "Legislative Assembly to provide at each session a list of the probable expenses of each of the bien nialyears specifying the object and to levy a tax sufficient to defray the es timated amount a similar mode .to that pursued by the County Courts of the State." This is a wise suggestion and one that should be adopted at the present session. As to the general bonded indebted ness, the mciuage shows that it consists of the soldiers' bounty 1 Kinds, the Sol diers' reliet bonds, the bonded debt arising out of the Indian difficulties of 1&7S, and the dobt created by the act of 1880 to complete the payment of the Modoc War bonds. Most of this indebtedness a rosed out of claims as. sumed by tho State, but which in justice should have been paid by tho United States in tli6 firetinstance. Ky a recent act of Congress Iiowcve, the State will in part be reimbursed for the money's paid out on account of hoiiio of these claims. There also exists a spec iul bonded indebtedness payable to the Willamette Fall Canal and Locks Com pany of about 60,000, with ?30,000 now in Jh treasury applicable to. its payment. In referring to the Act of 1880 placing restriction upon tho deduction of indebtedness in the assessment of property tho Governor' says: "I am satisfied that this (Act) has had tho effect to prevent tho allowance of a large amount of spurious claims. If the provisions of the act are faithfully enforced by tho assessors of tho various counties, it will break up a practice that has long prevailed, of claiming de duction on account of contingent liabil ities and ficticious debts, and w ill obvi ate some of the objections urged against including chom in action in the list of property taxed as it will tend to insure their taxation." Tho Governor sug gests the propriety of constituting the assessors of the several counties a board with authority to establish general rules regarding the valuation of similar kinds of property, so that there may be some uniform system in the work and the taxes thus equalized through out the State, Under the head of tax ation he calls attention to foreign ex press, Unking and insurance compan ies, and recommends the enactment of such laws as will compel them to pay a due proportion of the expenses of the State, pointing out at present hour they evade the payment of taxes on tho de posits required to be made by them, by depositing with the , Slate Treasurer United States bonds which are notsult iect to taxation. The tneHHagn deals at i length with the public institutions of the State the penitentiary, the asylum for the insane, and tbe school for the deaf mutes, showing the condition of each, and suggesting whatever modifi cations are needed for the better man agement of each. Other matters of vital importance are ably discussed by his excellency and the attention of the present Le2'K'tturo called to them. Whilst scarcely enough is said in regard to the present systcra of pilotage and towage, the Governor nevertheless recommends that tho com plaints Iwing made against tho exorbi. tant charges enacted under the present system, be enquired inlo, and recog nizes the power and right of the legis lative assembly to reduce tho rates of charges if they bo found exorbitant and oppressive. An earl completion of the insane asylum building is urged on the ground that unless tho State is ready to take charge of the insane on or before tho first of December next, tho contract inadn with Dr. J. C. Haw thorn will, under its very terms con tinue in force two years longer. The passage of .an act providing for tho management of the institution when completed, is urged with great force and reason. It is argued that it would be a criminal neglect of duty on the part of the Legislature, not to provide strong barriers against the attempts of place-hunters to gain control of the un fortunate insane of the State. On the whole the message of Gov ernor Thayer will compare favorably with the address of any former execu tive. It shows throughout an intimate acquaintance with everything portain ing to the duties of his position. He leaves the State in good tinanoial con dition, and we would not ask more of his successor, than that he gives us a economical an administration as Gov ernor Thayer's has Wen. Democrat. Killed the Wrong flio. An irascible sea captain settled down to Portland life by the side of a well tempered man, and the two got along very well until tho ben question came up. Said tho captain: "I like you as a neighW, but I don't like your hens, and if they trouble ine any more, I'll shoot them. The mild mannered neighbor studied over the matter some, but knowing the captain's reputation well by report, be replied: "Well, if we can't get along any other way, shoot the hens, but III take it as a favor if you will throw them when dead over into our yard and yell to my wife." "All right," said the captain. The next day the captain's gun was heard and a dead hen fell in the qoite man's yard. The next day anothor hen was thrown over, the next two, and the next after, three. "Suy," says the quiet man, "couldn't you scatter them along a little? We really can't dispose of tho nuutlior you ure killing." "Give 'em to your poor relations," replied the captain, gruffly. And the quite man did. He kept his neighbors well supplied with chick ens for some weeks. One day tho captain said to tho quiet man: "I have half a dozen nice hens I'm going to give to you if youll keep quiet about this ofTair." "How is thatr said the quiet man. "Are you sorry that you killed my hen's?". "Your hens?" said the captain. "Why, sir, those hens belonged to my wife! I didn't know she had any until I fed you and your neighbors all sum mer out of her flock. Portland, Me., I'ruuHcrijit. T. E. Fristoe, who lives north of Sheridan, was on Thursday last stricken with paralysis, while threshing in that section. The stroke was a severe one, extending over his entire body and learing him in a very critical condition fer a time. But by careful medical at tention he was able to ln out on Satur day, and is in a fair way to fully re cover. The new bridge aero the aouth Fork of the John Day is to have two spans of sixty feet each, and two ap proaches, each 6fty feet in length. arglitrttloi Liw. Just after the last election in this State there was a general demand for a registration law in Oregon. But the election is over, and other topics of ab sorbing interest have pressed out of sight the needs of this law until another election shall come off and then it will be too late to pasa the law. Our object is to direct attention to this great want now, while the Legislature is in session. Our cities and towns are Setting so large that it is not so easy to find judgea who can know every voter, as has been the case in the small towns. In the city of Portland, for instance, the judges cannot know one man in a hundred who offers to vote. We haro no registration law of any kind to guard the purity of elections. All that is required is that tho would-l voter offer his ballot, and, if not challenged, in it goes, whether ho be alien or citi zen. If challenged, if ho will swear he has been a resident of the State and county six months, in it goes, notwith standing the objection. Too much re sponsibility is placed upon the judges; for a brief season they are clothed with too much power. If theso judges are corrupt, no amount of challenging can protect the purity of the ballot. In stances of the .grossest abuse of their power by judges of election have come under tho observation of the writer hereof, as, perhaps, it has to almost every other voter in this State, In one precinct in the city of Portland, at any election within the lost fivo years, we personally know of at least 100 illegal vtes being cast, by tho conni vance of corrupt judges of election. The fault of our election laws does not lay with the choosing of judges or the manner of their conduct, so much as the want of some means of properly identifying voters. At present wt know that repeating can be done with the greatest of ease by adopts thereat, and that it is done in Portland, The Dalles, Astoria, Salem and the larger cities and town in this State. The papers of tbo State have to some ex tent been agitating the subject, and it is well they should, as there is almost a universal demand for a registration law of some kind, which will prevent repeating and punish violators thereof. Portland Telegram. A Patent for Married Sea. Kentucky Slate Journal. Our patent bed spring has been re modeled. The one for two-in-a bed is so arranged that the part tho wife lies on can be set by tho husband, unknown to the former, and it springs her out of bed and stands her op on the floor at any timo for which it is set It then remains turned up on the edge, so she can't get back again, at least, on her side of the bed, and she won't come back on his sido for she is too all fired mad to come near him. So the result is she is compelled to dress and go down stairs to see to breakfast, and the old man will get a rest Ob, it's a daisy! - "I Makes No Speech." At the Republican Convention hold in Win ston, North Carolina, to nominate can didates for the Legislature and the county offices, Mr. Tovis, a German, was nominated for Houso Delegate. Calls were made for him, and he arose smiling, and said: ''I tanks you shen tilinen, very much indeed. I makes no slcech." He then took his seat Chairman Goslin then said: "Of course you accept the nomination and can make your speech some other time." "Veil," said Tavis, rising, "I don't know so veil as dot I will dinks on it and must first ask my vife abod it Tho convention took a recess for him to aak his wife. Win. C.
