The salaries paid county officials in the elate of Washington seem more in keening with hard times and thesalories paid otlur employ es than do thoso in Oregon. There are seven counties in Washington, the largest salaries paid in any of which are as follows: Mierill, TlU iU; clerk, ifOOO; treasurer, $1)00; dis trict alt .mev, ifhOO; superintendent of schools, $('00; assessor, flOoO, These salaries are under tho new schedule which was passed by the last legislature, and in some ol the more thickly populated counties as Spokano and. WnlU Walla the highest salaries paid are liul f ifwnj and $1100 respectively for clerk and iH'JOO and $1500 respectively lor shrrill. One week from lodav the legis lature agu n meets, rrom present indications important legislation so badly needed will be lorced to the rear by the senatorial question. A lew months aio it seemed as if Mr Mitchell would he elected without much opposition, but this has chiiiiged since he came to Oregon and delivered forty speeches for McKinley and the gold standard, after having for eighteen years lieen u radical supporter of the while metal. Now u portion of the gold ites are lighting him under the leadeiship of his old enemy, lUr vey Scott, and the populists and democrats now are intending to koep in tho middle of the rond on account of his coming to Oregon and currying the state agiinst Mr Ilryan. Many of the liest in formed men claim that the needud legisl.i'iuM will he overlooked, and that this lec.is! in rn will bo worse than the disgraceful one of two years igo. There ure 5:10 registered citizens of the IJ nit"! Stales in Jerusalem. Of thr-r, MS are Jews. Almost all the tfhers are Second Adventists. The SpoH'ordilu there, or "Over conn r-." as thev call themselves, has recently been increased by un addition of 117 Swedish Americans mostly from Chicago. Tho leader, .Mrs Spu fiord, lays claim to pro phetic powers, claiming to lie nude ihe direct protection of the Al mighty, and she is averse to hav ing any human power interfere. We do not know whether this is a religious or leminine trait on her part. We can understand the Je going back to Jerusalem, because there is where their race first estab lished its power. It is theru where their literature became marked. They believe that tiiere, too, their raco will be restored and united, and, as communications sre quick, ened and cheapened, the trado of the Holy Land because of the in creasing travel there Htinuully, is becoming a feature. Il is a region filled with sacred' riicinuriwt, al though we have heard more than one visitor there lay, "Do not go to Jcrsusalcm or thu Holy Lund. It is all so small and mean and petty, that your present reverence for the the pluce and its memories w ill be shocked by a visit there."
