Buffalo will be relieved of the strain upon iU groin elerators by the opening of Krie canal. . The Western grain market can now avail itself of its accustomod means of reaching Eastern ports. The Welland is open on tho north, thus opening the way to Montreal, and the Erie affords a means of ship ment to New York without break ing bulk. It is at this time in the year tho people of New York apprec iate the valuo of the Erie as a com mercial factor. Later, perhaps, as they have heretofore, they will ap preciate its value as a political fac tor. Tho Oregonian thus rebukes those citizens who expect a sheriff to neglect Lis duty in tlie collection of tho taxes due the count and state: A citizen of Lane county writes a hot and indignant letter against the sheriff of that county because he has sent out deputies to collect taxes and adds charges therefor. We suppose tlie taxes are delinquent, and that tho sherifl is acting strictly according to law. Section 2975 of the general laws provides that tho delinquent may pay within 30 days at the county seat, but if ho fails to pay within 30 days and the sheriff visits the delinquent's residence the sherifl may collect in addition to the tar 10 cents a mile, going and return ing. It is partly against this charge of 10 cents a mile, and part ly against the refusal of the sheriff to wait till the residents on the up per McKenzie have got the money on sawlogs they had cut during the winter, that the Lane county man makes this protest. Hut, in fact, it is the duty of the sheriff to col lect the taxes at the proper time. and he has no right or authority to await tl pleasure or convenience) of the taxpayer. Payment of taxes is one of the most unpleaaing da- ties of man, and almost as few would l ready for it if their pleas ure were consulted as are found ready fur death. 0 o O o o O n o o o
