Frtljlil Tariff Bill.
At last it would seem as it the Ore
gon LiiiMlatvrn may pass a law regu-
huina th freight rate of railroad
The Salem Statesman givn the follow
ing aynopsia of the Biggs' hill which
passed the House last Tuesday:
The House on Tuesday after an ex
tended and intufestine dehate, passed
Biggs lull (No. -86), entitled "An act to
'regulate the charges for transportation
of fruits t hy railroad corporations do
ing bosiaess within the stale ot Urn
Ron." This is tbe first bill having for
its o'tject the regulation of freight, to
passive House, and it provides that it
shall lie unlawful for any ponton, com.
panjt, corporation, etc, itngaged in the
transportation of property hy railroad
io charge, 'or receive from, any person or
iptrsons charging greater compensation
for the transportation of grain, flour,
millstufls, salt, potatoes, apples or oth
er fruit, wood, coal, lumber, fencing
material, grain sacks, or wool in bales,
than the sum of 3J cents per mile for
any distance less than 25 miles; 3
cents per ton per mile for any distance
Iwlween 25 and 50 50 miles; 1 cents
per ton per mile for any distance over
5U and less than 100 miles; 2 cents for
100 and less than 200 miles; 1 cents
for any distance over 200 and less than
300 mill s; and for all distances over
300 miles the rate shall be not to ex
ceed 1 cents per ton per mile; pro
' vided that the charge for any distance
of 25 miles or under shall not exceed
75 cents per ton; for 50 miles or un
der, $1.25 per ton; for 100 miles or
under, l per ton; 200 miles or under
$3.50 per ton; 3U0 miles or under
tt.50 per ton. The bill provides that
these tales shall only apply to freight
intended fur transportation that may
be offered in carload lots, and that
the same shall be loaded into or upon
and unloaded from the cars of such
railroad at the expense of the owners
of said freight so offered for transport
tation, and further provides that ship
pers shall be allowed to losd said cars
to their full capacity. The bill only
applies to freight offered for transpor
tation between points wholly in the
state of Oregon. The penalty for a
violation of the act is a tine of not less
than 1100 nor more than 500 for
each offense. There was but very 1 i t
tie opposition to the bill and that main
)y from the delegation from Jackson
county. Thoso voting against the bill
were Benjamin, Bowditch, R A Miller
and Pnmeroy. It is thought the bill
will pass the sennte without material
opposition, The bill will certainly, if it
proves operative, he a great source of
relief to the popln of Kastern Oregon.
The flitnaVa refusal to conlirm Mr.
Matthews, the colored appointee of the
FresiJiint was due to his color alone.
A Washington dispatch of Jan. 29th,
says: "A nunilier of prominent ne
gro called upon the President yester
day afternoon and presented a memor
ial from colored ministers in the Dis
trict of Columbia expressing thsnks for
the appointment of Recorder Matth.
ews and the stand taken by the Presi
dent in the matter. This appointment
they say they consider "fcr leaching in
its rultH, national in character, not
oirjumscrihed by politics and a just
recognition of our right to official rep
resentation at the National Capital."
They praise tho efficient manner in
which Mr. Matthews has filled the po
sition of Recorder of Deeds and ex
press the belief that his rejection by
the Senate was due simply to his color.
The memorial is signed hyjllishop John
V. llrown of the African Msthodist
Episcopal Church, and the pastors of
twunty-one negro churches."

The following extract from tho San
Francisco Chronicle, will prove of in
terest to ths many Mexican veterans
w io live in this county. Theie is scant
and long delayed justice in the bill just
passed by Congress. Tho men who
forty yeara ago won every battle
and skirmish they were . engaged in,
who added an empire to our domain
are to hove $8 per month:
There are about 1,600 veterans of
the Mexican war on this coast, who
will receive Pension shortly. The
bill passed by Congress grant a pen
sion to every veteran of the Mexican
war over the age of 62 years. Jf un
der 62 and disabled from manual labor
proof will have to .be made that (he
applicant is suffering from a disease
thut disables him in a pensionable de
gree, in the same way that those ap
plying for pensions for disabilities con
tracted in na civil war navr w niir
their proofs. But there is this impoi-

applying under the disability clause
will have to prove only their present
and will not be required to
show that it was contracted or oriyi-
rntorl in the lUTvicC of tllH Ulllted
States. In addition, the applicant, as
in other cases, will have to prove his
actuul service in the Mexican war and
tti a rnn If which he held in the army.
This, of course, will not be a mutter of
any serious dilhculty in most cases.
Thn Republicans in the Legislature

But if we must have a joint Senator,
civeus one with Linn, whoso interests
s
are the same as ours.
In Mexico they have a lively way of
recruiting the army. A Mexican Col
onel who wanted some more soldiers
sent fifty mounted men into a Sonora
town and arrested forty citizens on the
chnrgn of drunkenneks and sentenced
them to serve one year in his regiment.
It is just such pleasantry as this tlmt
causes Mexican soldiers to get funny
sometimes and shoot their Colonel.
The Atlantic const of New Jersey
is ninety miles long and a generation
ago was a barren waste of sand and
scrub oak. Then the property where
now are thriving hamlets and prosper
ous seaside resorts, was valued at less
than 83,000,000; to-duy the same ter
ritory is assessed for taxation at up
ward of $100,000,000.

An English woman made a will
eighty-nine years ago, in which s'ie
requested that the words, "Lovn killed
her," be engraved on her tombstone.
She has just died at the ripe old age of
110 voars. Love is a slow and linger
ing (iisoase, but it gets there, just the
s tme.
When the Republicans talk about a
chanoo of getting back into power in

they are making in the nomination of

The present tariff tax takra from the
people 1(00,000,000 more than the
Government requires. The tariff
should lie revised, so that no surplus
