MARCH i. 1SH7. SOnii COHPARISON5. Willi tba summary of liuanou anJ commerce sent out from tbe treasury de partment corrected to lVceuiber last, and for which we are indebted to Hon B. Hermann, there ia a diagram show ing the relative exports of the United 81 a tee from to and including IS'.H! Tbe diagram shows for one thine that oar beat foreign customer is the United Kingdom. In lS'.'S ehe took neirly 02 per cent of all our exports, and troui her we purchased 41 per cent of our imports, Germany coming next with SI per cent and France with H per cent. Ger many takes bat 14 per cent of exports and France 7 per cent. Is it any won der, in view of the i lose commercial re lations of the United Slates and tbe United Kingdom, two people, with the time language, the came religion, the tame literature, and largely the same blood, that all the thinking elements, except tbe jingo, are desirous of an ar bitration treaty that shall bind them closer together?. Another interesting fact that the dia gram shows is that in 1SVJ, the period to which all good citizens love to refer, when the McKinley bill had been in op eration just long enough to make its presence felt, our export l-ueicees wiib Great Britain exceeded that of any year in tbe country's history, before cr since, being a little over f KK),000,OdO. The highest previous notch was reached in 1881 with abont $475,000,000, of exports. It it alto noticeable that our imports reached a low ebb that year, 1892, being only about fl50,000,OOJ, leaving a bal ance in our favor against the Britisher of $340,000,000. When a merchant sells more than be bnys be succeeds. So with a nation. The policy that enables us to sell more than we buy will be the policy to make the nation prosperous In 1850, in oar trade relations with the United Kingdom, our imports exceeded the exports by about $3,000,000. The balance of trade was against us, and but for the immense gold yield of California and the Crimean war creating a market fqr our surplus, the bard times of 135 would Lave struck tbe country sooner. The tariff on wool is again agitating congress. Tbe wool clip is one of Ore gon's chief export products and our peo ple are intensely interested in the dis cussion. Tbe contention once made, iter Mr. Cleveland, through his em ias&ry, John I'. Irish, took the demo cratic party of this state by tbe ueck and made it face about on the wool ijuestion, was that free wool, by admitting wools of different texture, would so stimulate tbe manufacture of woolen goods as to increase the demand for, and conee quently enhance the price of, domestic wool. That was a very beautiful theory, bat three yeara of trial has exploded it; the price of wool fell to the leyel of tbe Australian article and tbe wool industry of Oregon languuheth. It seems that the announcement that Jodge Northnp was appointed a member ef the board of trustees of the Soldiers' uome uy tue governor was a little pre mature. There is a little comment to tbe effect that while tbe appointees are all that could be desired in point of ual location and ntnees, it is a little strange that two members should be chosen from Douglas county, two from Marion and one from Baker, while the county of Multnomah, containing a third of the people of the state should be overlooked entirely. The end appears to be In sight, as far as the Cuban struggle is concerned. There ia little doubt but that B;a'n de sires to get out on the bett possible terms and these seem to be the selling of tbe island to the people. Cuba will have a debt to pay, but "Cuba libra" will be accomplished. Memaloose island, iu the Columbia liver, below The Dalles, has been tet apart by the government us a burial place for the Warm Springs Indians. It has been used for that purpose for a long period, bat the high water of IH'H swept away tbe "dead houses." Theodore Durraut will exhaust every resource known to the law before he gitea up his fight for life. His next move will be a petition for u rehearing before the supreme court. Tbe ilyer republicans, it is said, and the report, if true, Is greatly to their credit, will not stand In tho way 0 the passage ol the Dinuley bill. TflO EUROPEAN CHESSBOARD. The Cretan affair la none of our funer al. We have no territory in Europe that we are in danger of losing, and there is none that we wish to acquire. If the doughty tireck and the "unspeakable Tuik" detire to engage in a little tin pleaantnp it is their affair. It would seem lo the mtiial olw oiyor fiom a dis tance dial llio Rieal powers aie taking more interest than the c-iiYumMancea warrant, and their blockade of the Cre tan ports seems to us an unwarranted U!e of superior force. Of course It is in tended by this to checkmate some other moe that it is feared Russia may make. Tlio Romanoff desire to extend their empire southward and this would dis turb the Kuropean balance of power. The Eurpean policy teems to bo that to be prepared for war is I ho best way to preserve peace. Kach country watches the other closely, and the fulfillment of the prophecy made nearly a century ago, that in a hundred years Europe would be either Ccssack or republican, may be nearer fulfillment than is generally sup posed. The Cretan affair may precipi tate a struggle that shall overturn gov ernment and work radical changes in uie map cl fcuropc, A Ituodtcu years ago the danger from Cossack sources was observed by NapMeoo, who st out to combat it. But the European of today is a different individual froai his ancestors of the preceding century, and Europe will not now be Cossack. Republican it may !e, eventually will he, but Cossack, never. Ia the meantime, we must hold ourselves in readiness, when the struggle comes, not to tight, for we shall not be called upon to do that, but to supply tbe contending forces with bread. "Eternal vigilance is tbe price of lib erty. As long as the forces of anarchy and public dishonesty are determined to keep up their organizations for a further assault on the established institutions of American civilization, which the experi ence of the years have proven the beet, it behooves tbe friends of good govern ment to be on the alert to meet and checkmate everv move of tbe forces that were routed, horse, foot and dragoons iu tbe battle of last November. New ideas of government that give promises of im proved conditions should always be re ceived kindly and considered honeetly, but the chief issues now being exploited have long ago been weighed in the bal ances and found wanting. We don't want, as a people, to tako a step back ward, it takes too long to recover; nor to lake a step in tbe dark ; tbe Issues are so tremendous that we must be sure of the ground. After all, "truth, and truth aloue, is etui the light to guide the na tions groping on their way.'' Governor Lord says in effect to tbe county judges in tbe matter of the pay. meet of state taxes, that it is none of their business, but that the whole mat ter rests with the law and the state and county treasurers. Perhaps the governor is right, but he does not have to go away from the capitol building to find officials who are assuming to sit in judgment on matters that do not concern them. We agree with tbe governor that the law should be administered as it is written and interpreted by the state's attorney and the courts. If the law is obnoxious, the best way to bring aboat repeal, is by enforcement. Washington has just had a session of a "reform" legislature. It is safe to say that the present frame of mind of tbe people of that state is tucb tbat if an election was to be held today the state would go as strongly against populism as it went for it last fall. It may soon be in order to inquire "WL.it is the matter with Washington?" instead of "What is tbe matter with Kansas'.'" But Wash ington did not permit tbe fever to strike in quite as deep as KansaB and there fore may be cured sooner. The appointment of Hon. Binger Her mann as commissioner of the general land office will give general satisfaction to the people of Oregon, especially the republicans. Having been a member of the committee on public lands for sev eral years he has acquired a knowledge of Uncle Sam's land business tbat will be of great value to biin in his new field of labor. The fusion legislature of Washington was lather a thrifty set. After all the protestations about honesty and reform the legislature failed to pass an act pro hibiting members from riding on rail roads on free passes. It is also safe to assert that every mother's son ot them traveled on a pass. If tbey didn't they are different from their Oregon brethren. The following sentiment from the Portland Evening Telegram should Hud a hearty response in every breast: "While waiting for the D'ugley tariff to improve the times it might be well for every American citizen to put a shoulder to the wheel and help things along." Dalell, one of the brilliant republican leaders in tbe lower house of congress bit the mark the other day in the ditcus sion of the rules adopted for considering the new tariff measure, when he said: 'The country does not want declamation, it wants action." The Brooks locomotive works have re sumod on full time with increased force. Some people would never see that item of news, but if it had said a man was dis charged it would be considered occasion ufficient for caustic criticism of the ad ministration. In another column will be found a let ter from Hon. O. W. Kiddle, giving the oilier side" of the late "house" ques tion. It is a reply to the letter of "ob server" published on tbe 11th.

A terrible cyclone passed over Ala bama and Cieorgia las'. Monday. The town of Blakely, Georgia, is almost swept out of existence. But a tregedy was enacted at Arlington in tbe same state. Tbe dispatches say it was about 8 o'clock when tbe pupils of the Arling ton academy began to assemble, and there were about 50 present when Pro fessor Covington, noticing the coming storm, called them in tor shelter, "a and on came the storm, with a roaring sound, increasing until it lifted two cab ins across the way into midair, crush ing them into splinters. The sight of this so aflrighteuid the children that they clung piteously to Professor Walker and 1 roieesor uovington, who vainly tried to quiet mem. A crackling noise was beard, and the shutters and swing ing doors were wrenched from their binges. Then came a twisting and a careening, and the north partition gave way, falling with deadly effect upon tbe group of children who were clinging to the professors. 1 he doors and windows gone, the storm Bbrieked through the rocking building, and the little ones, thrown on the floor, were crushed under flying and falling debris. The cries of the wounded and the groan b of tbe dying are described as heartreuuering. Light were killed outright and many injured. JJeatLi and destruction is reported from many localities. In one place An entire family of five were killed. The Oovernor and the State Taxes. A haiem dispatch ot tbe z-d says: Governor Lord wan asked today for an expression of opinion in the matter of tho counties withholding the taxes from tbe state treasury. The governor said I have not given tbe matter much attention, and have not carefully ex amined the provisions of tbe law with respect to tbe duties of officers about paying over the taxes to the state, or the coubequences of dcrelicton. Of course, it we had any power or discretion in the matter, we would like to do anything we could to bridge over the hard times, and lighten the burdens of the people, but. you know, officers are but agents of the people, ana itie law u trie meaaure of their powers and duties. Where the law prescribes what shall be done, and de clares the consequences of a failure to do it, there is no discrotion in its officers. ine only sate and wise course to pursue is to obey tiie law, It seems to me that tbe paying of tax money to the state treasurer at the time fixed by law, where the money is in the county treasury, is a matter of mucn more moment lo the county treasurer than to the county judge, whose jurisdiction in the premises is not perceived. 1 take it, when the coun y treasurer uas tax money in his poc a-ion which the law requires him to pa j vm to tue slate treasurer, lie must do i', or run the risk of the consequences that tlio law announces for tue disregard of bis duty. No order of the county court can excuse or avoid the duty which the law imposes upon lnui. lhe county judge has no jurisdiction in me matter; nor uo me oincers oi ine state nave any discretion to postpone the commands of the law, or to connive at its violation. Answering a query as lo the purpose of the county judges, tbe governor added: "The motives oi ine county judges are laudable; they realize the depressed condition of bufciuees, and desire to af ford belief to the counties to the extent of their ability. Their object is to find out if there is any way this can be done in the interest of economy, without en dangering good government by disregard of law. J doubt if what tbey wish to do can be accomplished in tho way proposed." THE OTHER 51DE. Hon Ueo. W. Riddle Replies to Ob server. ElHlOK ri.AINPKAl.ISH: I llUVO UCU repeatedly asked lo write an account of tho late legislative "llaseo" for publica tion, but to far have declined to do so, leaving a clear Held for these who thought it necessary lo explain or nulo giup lor their adion. Hut Umn rending a communication in your iuu of the Utli Inst, sinned ' Observer" I ask space to notice some of tho mlnrcpresrntations of your anonymous correspondent, who, from tho "ear mirks'' plainly visible in the eommmunicatiou, was, himself, a member of the so-called "Unison house." The writer has shown great ingenuity In nuking the "woist appear the better course'' by telling half the truth and ignoring the other half and iu making some down right misrtatemciit Passim! over "Observer's" account of the proceedings up to the organization of the "Benson house which are In the main correct, Oberver s.iys: "Haying been advised by sumo, of tho best lawvers iu ibis state and tho United states that a majority could legally or ganUe, on the eleventh day of the res sion 33 members-elect met." Then fol lows an account of the organization ol the "Benson house . Now as a matter of lact no lawyer in this slate gave a written opinion that tho legislature eotiM orgnui.a and legally do business with less than a constitutional quorum, which in the house is 40 nmnK'rs. No lawyer in this state undertook to say that the con stitution of Oregon did not ineau what i says, that is, that "two-thirds of each house shallYonetitulo a quorum to' do busiuess," vet Senator Mitchell pro cured a telegram from Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, to the effect that a ma iority could organise tho house, and would be legal, for the pui pose ef elect ing a I'. S. senator. On the other hand Ueo H. Williams. C. E. S. Wood, L. I Cox, M. 1.. 1'ipes, Wallace McCammat aud other prominent lawyers of Oregon materially dissented. I'nder tho direc tion of Senator Mitchell, tweut v-eigtit republicans, one populist Nosier w ho was not legaly entitled to his seat 1 and two democrats, ol iu all, proceeded to organize tho Beusou house. Observer claims that there were ;;! members-elect present, thus including Temporary Speaker Davis and myself neither of whom participated iu the procredmgs I, at that time, entered my proas' against the attempt to organize the house with less than a constitutional quorum st owing that uo bill cr joint resolution could be presented with less than a ma jority voting for them and a quorum 'ociug present and, although anxiously diring the legal organization, f declined to psr ticipa'e m the pretended organization that would block the way for anv legal aud permanent organization, lhe no called Benson house was a Lieco of dee twrate politics, was conceived, advised and bad its existence in the interest of one man's election to the V.

No committees were appointed and no attempt was made to pass a sin gle bid. It Has not recognized by the senate. No official communication was sent to the governor, or secretary of state, and they were not recognized by any co-ordinate brunch ol the state gov eminent, neither did they make any at tempt to bring iu absentees, or have the legality of their organization decided by tbe courts. They simply sat there like dogs In tbe manger, and growled and sometimes howled. They could not eat the bay (do business' themselves, or would they join with others to effect or gamzalion. It is but justice to say that many of those who participated in the organiza tion of the Henson house did so with the expectation that it would force a perma nent organization. While I agree! with them in a desire for organization, yet I ditlered w ith them in the effect it would have. ibserver says : "The Benson men held frequent con sultation with the bold outs in an honest attempt to effect a compromise, but the only conditions offered were : let . that the Benson men should agree to not vote for Hon. Jchn II. Mitchell, Hon. C has. I-ultuii, or Hon. Sol llirsdi for U. S. senator. '2d. That Jonathan Bourne should be elected speaker in place of Mr. Ben son. "lid, That the Benson men should agree to pass the Initiative and referen dum, and such election anil registration laws as the hold outs should propone. These conditions were refused, and the hold outs would agree to nothing else. When asked if tbey would enter upon the discharge of their duties if Sen ator Mitchell be requested to withdraw and should comply with the request, the reply was mar, tney wouiu not uuieBs tiie other two conditions were conceded. " lhe above statements are in the main untrue. 1 had frequent conversations with the members termed ' hold outs" and with the Benson men, with a view of effecting a compromise and I never ueard a uernanu made that Joualhan Bon r no ihould be elected sneaker, but the Benson men feared he would be elected and that was one of their ex-curt-B. J here was no demand that Ben son men should agree lo vote for the "in itiative and referendum or any other measure. These were mere bugaboos used by tlio leaders to keep their men in line. In my efforts with the Benson men to effect a compromise I was alnays met with the declaration of "we have a legal organization now, all they have to do is to come into the Benson house " aud so far as I know no compromise was ever oOered or suggested from the Ben son house. Now, Mr. Editor, I beg your and your readers' pardon for devoting so much space to the Benson house, but I look upon that organization as the prime fac tor that prevented a permanent organ- l hm in tho coiniiluint ot Eat thouHandti at thin Ht-ason.

The Benson house would not recede and those who were willing to organize when a quorum could be had In the legal temporary organia In ii, the Davis house, could not accom plish their desire. Therefore no organization was had and uo legislation wan possible. "Observer" says "tho Benson men contended for a principle." Just what principle ho does not siy. But 1 would say, while calling attention to the "mole in your brother's eye" you should rem ember that there is a "beam in your own." I'pou the senatorial question, there was a proposition made by the republi cans who did not participate with the so called jiiiit convention that they would agree to support any representa tive republican selected by a majority of the republican inetiilwi except John II. Mitchell, or one selected by him. This might menu lion. Chas. Fulton and Hon. Sol Hirscti. The latter two men not inmcd. Th proposiiion simply showed a wiilingners to elect a 1'. H. senator, if Mitcnetlism was eliminated from the content. Tho proposition was rejected by the Mitchell caucus. An other proposition was made by a lteunou man and a Mitchell man to try to organ ize with the understanding that no sen ator thould be elected lint simply for the purpose of legislation. This was jumped upou as something monstrous but iuyact was a candid proposition lo carry out thw pledges for remedial legislation. The lejection of these pruoellion shows that some of the members were not alone aciusted by the consuming desire to curry out their pledges to the people, to lesson their burdens ef luxation but the elec tion ef one man for senator was ever uppermost in their minds.
