The assessed valuation of property in Clatsop is exceeded by the valua tions of fourteen other counties. Those of us who constantly howl about high taxes should consider this statement. Four counties require more than Clatsop for maintainance, yet In four teen the assessed valuation Is greater.

'J At no time in the history of the United States has there been a mors striking exemplification of the adage that politic makes strange bedfellows than la to be seen In ' the present agreement as to the Philippine quea- tion between Senators Hoar ot Mas- sarhustts and Tillman of South Caro- Una. says the Chicago Chronicle. The cleverest Judge of human nature would find It difficult to suggest any- thing else upon which these gentle- men could agree, but to the scutfe policy in the Orient they are in bar- mony- Arm in arm Mise rcptvscnta- lives of New Kngiaad Puritanism and wuthem chivalry would walk out of he Philippines and glory In the per- fortnanee as an act promoting liberty, the rights of man. and the dignity of the republic. Both ot these irreconcilables have undertaken to Justify their attitude relative to the Philippines by refer ences to past episodes In American Mstory. Mr. Tillman can find nothing with which to compare !h txrarny and scoundretism of the Philippines except the comparatively recent Inva sion and subjugation of the slave states by the north. Mr. Hoar Bsds his terrible example la the war against Mexico by the Cnlted State. While Messrs. Hoar and TsRmaa could not possibly reach an agree ment on either of these propositions, they are In more perfect accord on the subject of the Philippines than Is the case with any other members of the senate who are opposing the policy ot the administration. The others are di vided by every description of senti ment and opinion, but the.e two would haul down the American flag and sound the retreat at Manila exactly as Mr. Hoar would have d me nt Monterey or Chapultapec. and as Mr. Tillman would have done at Gettysburg or Ap pomattox. Mr. Hoar has quoted approvingly the celebrated remark of Tom Co ruin to the effect that he hoped the Mexi cans would welcome the American army of Invasion with bloody hands to hospitable graves. There were all too many such graves for the heroic sol diers of the north, but the sentiment of the American people toward them waa not voiced by the treasonable Corwin. It has round lasting and beau tiful expression tn the words of the poet O'Hara: On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread. And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. If Mr. Tillman had a sense of humor he would supplement Mr. Hoar's ap peal to the treason of Corwin by citing some of the utterances of that otlier distinguished Ohio recalcitrant, Clem ent L. Vallandigham, who, Jurin? the Civil war, held the same attitude to ward the federal government that Cor- win maintained toward It at the time of the war with Mexico. Mr. Hoar cannot possibly Indorse the disloyalty of Corwin more enthusiastically than ,3ir. unman can sunscrlbe to Royalty of Vallandigham. All this can be said without denying the courage and the patrotism in a ! general sense of Corwin and Vallandig- ham and of Hoar and Tillman. The mistake which all of these men have made lies in the fact that they have carried their opposition to a pol icy to a point where it has amounted to hostility to the government. They have set their judgment against that of the great mass of their fellow-ciU-xens and they have permitied their op position to politicians to place them In a position of hostility to the army and the flag. New Jersey's legislature has set aside the sum of $10,000 to be appli?d to extermination of the moaniiltn Ten members voted against the meas ure. They were in all likelihood from some of the back counties and with hides that would turn the mosqulto'i bill, and accustomed to being lulled to sleep by the song of the pest. Per haps, however, they regarded as dcubtful the efficacy of the plan, but regarding the mosquito as sent for tie chastening of mankind were rady to bow to the inevitable. Experience has shown the mosquito to be a torment Its sting, if such Is the term for the process of which It in master, Is pain ful, destructive of beauty and a f0e to peace. Science has demonstrated that by means of the bill of the mos quito the germs of certain deadly mal adies are carried. Through this agency yellow fever Is spread, and there is reason to beiieve the mosquito the sole propagator. It transmits the infection when most Intimate contact with a sufferer from the dle.ise fail to do so. With the axtermlnation of the Insect there Is reason for hope s$X .... that the fever would disappear. Cer tain condition once supposed lo gfv n- to the fever have bon fjin-d In stead to give rise to th mooqulU If New Jersey can get rid of this iuls snt tor the sum mentioned, the ex pense Is not worth '.considering. lt tne gmpaign be crowned with success m, tlw w hole world ought to Inst'tute onei r My farewell to the mosquito j now ,nay be a little premature, but It u jj (n a reasonable hup, of !courstl (here will be objection W j wiU bt tl))j tht this minute org.tnlsm j j,,, a lv,rt to play in the economy of i natur. and that the balance would be Ijimrbed by cutting :t out of the !
