THE EUGENE CITY GUARD. SATURDAY. ..DEC. 30, 18S2. A QunlioB or Revenur. We are pleased to hoc that a largci tnajority of Democratic leaders arc tak ing the right view on tlio question of raising revinua to support the peneral government. The gorerniiiont mu.t 'le supported, thn national dolt niUKt 1 paid and internal improvements 'aided. At present tlie running ex fjenscs of the government are obtained from the internal tax and the revenue from imports. There can be no dou'it tat that there is too much money now raised to supply the demand. The in direct taxation of the people must coase. The Democracy is taking the correct stand that after the internal tax is taken from matches and proprietary articles, reform and radical reform should be made on the duties on ini ports, so that instead of being for pro tection the tariff would simply be to raise, in an easy manner, the necessary revenue for sustaining the government, Tliis would leave the tax on whisky and totacco, from which is annually raised over $125,000. This would give us cheap clothing and food and high-priced whisky and tobacco. This is as it should be. Our readers will doubtless be sur prised when they notice that a measure exactly the opposite is Iming urged by prominent Republicans. They want . the tax entirely removed from whisky and tobacco and the present high pro tective tariff left as it is. If the Amer lean people aro so fond of protecting monopolists at tho sacrifice of every thing else, then and then only will they support tho measure to give us free whisky and cheap toba:co, while the necessities of life grow dearer and dearer, It is qui to ime that the "in fint" industries of our country could stand alone. It is gutting time when our merchant marine should le revived and now by the judicious, wholesome and enlightened policy of fair play it will spring into renewed life and he the greatest blessing to our country. The Democratic policy means a great deal to thn American people it means from twenty to fifty per cent less for tho machinery you buy; it means twenty per cent, more a bushel for wheat ; it means, in brief, that the manufacturing monopolist can no long er put his hand into your pocket and take away your hard-earned money. Further than this, it means that the necessities of life shall not bo taxed to raise a needless .amount of money, but the luxuries of all klixls shall bcur 4h burden.

SUMMARY EXECUTION. Awakening of the Vigilance Committee in Prloevllle. The following particular of the killing of three men in and near i'rineville en last Tuesday night sre furnished by an extra issued fr mi the News ofiiee on Sunday, Dec. 24th: Oil yesterday morning the citizens of I'rineville aeio thrown into a fover of ex citement upon ht'ivriiig of the shooting of Al. Swart', s resident of Oohocn, who Lad beeu (topping in town for the past week. A purty of six were playing a social g.nno of curd at U10 Kxchango saloon on Friday night, when suddunly a loud report of a shot gun was beard, and the plan from the window near the can) table wm shattered ami blown in nearly every direction. Mr. Swaiti, who tat next to tho window. said, "That s n of a b h mado a good ahot," sir! then it was discovered that ho (Swarts) was shot in the back And s;d of tho ne jk, ten or twelve shot taking effort. The wounded man was taken to the Occidental hotel, and died at about 10 o'clock on yesterday morning, To the law abiding citizen thin was allocking euough, but feeling waa iucri-aaed when people cunie in from the country and told of thn diacovory of two men hanging by tlioir necks to a ju mper. This but tragedy took plane about throe mile f rum town, near the Ochocu, Upon hearing this the proper ndiuers went to the place and an inquest wai hold, the ver dict of t!ia jury being that the bodies were those of 8yd Houston and Chas. Luster, and that they evidently came to their death hy being hung by the neck, and from gun shot wounds in head, all inflicted by nnkoown parties Tho verdict of the jury at the in (juoat Upon tho body of Al Swarta was that said Swarts came to his doath by gunshot wounds in tho neck and head, indicted by parties unknown. Al Swarta has resided several year in the wllcy of the Ochoco, being engaged in the stock business. 8yd Houston has also Maided in this sec tion, following the business of horse raiding. Chaa.' l.ostor was s into arrival here, of no particular occupation, but claimed to be a practical jockey. Deceased cams to this place from Calilornia a short time ago. lie has no relatives here- Tlie general accepted reason for such work is ri'puated attempts, many of which have been successful, st spiriting horses out of that section of country. Christmas Tree at Irving. The young people of Irving- had some time ago resolved that Christmas should lie iroierly Iwervod in this little place. Accordingly, they formed a committee of arniij,'emfcnU and went to work like beavers, and left nothing undone. Their untiring efforts were crowned with succeus. The Irvinjf hall was beautifully decorated "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" wore tastefully arrayed by fair hands, while the young gentlemen provided the tree and assisted in doing the heavy work. At an early hour on Christmas mnniing the OMtu mittoe a.embled at Irving ball ready to place upon the tree tho presents. Busy hands were engaged all day iu putting presents upon the tree, and not till bulf past seven were they permitted to rest The lady nieinliers of the committee had prepared as elegant dinner and spread it in the school-room below. At 12 'clock all were invited to dine. We noticed several elegant cakes made by the your.g la dies, whose names are deserving of public men tion; Miss Mary Yates made an elegant pyra mid cake; Miss Mollie Bond donated a hand some pound cake, beautifully decorated; Mine Lou Howe a handiiome cake; while Miss Click Bond was not to be surpassed With the differ ent kinds of fine cakes, showing fine culinary training; Mix Belle Iiunhnelt brought fine samples of her cooking, which, all pronounced excellent. At 8 o'clock the hall was filled with children and their parents, when Mr. C. V. Boggs, one of the committee, stepped in front of the tie and requested the children to be patient, as he had just received a dispatch from Kugene City stating that Santa Claus had left Eugene for Irving and was expected every moment. Just then the old gentleman made his aptrarance and wan greeted with applause. He was a Santa Claus that was a Hauta Claus. He was glad to meet tli9 little children; he ad mired the tree very much, and left directions to distribute tho presents. Little Daisy Bond( aged eight years, sang the "Spanish Cavalier in such a creditable manner that she was en- cored and sahg, "We are the Gleaners." The tree was thes relieved of the pressnU, some of which were very valuable, whilo others created considerable morrinicnt, in which the school teacher came in for his share. He requests us to return thanks fur tho odd mitten he git, and threatens to go up the rallri'ad track for the mate. Miss Lou Rows tang several beautiful pieces. Tho best of order prevailed. The committee desire to return thanks to Messrs. Yates and I'itzer for tho free use of the ball ; also to Mr. J as. Bond, Walter Gross, Allen Bond, Jr., O. P. If off, and Lincoln Bond, for their valuable services Happy New Year to all Iavmo. Local Market Mprort. Friday, Dec. 29, 1832. Wheat SS eta., on board of cars. Ottta-50 cts., nett Hops -05 75c.
