THE OREGON DAILY , J3USII At. rOHTLAKD. 7 LVZIIIIJG, CCTCi: C . I "I ORE G AN :ns COUNCIL AND perpetual franchises. "gHE JOURNAt hat recently printed good deal I of matter on( the to-called perpetual franchise! A which are claimed in this city. It has ahown hat they are And-'of what they are alleged to consist. " t has been a surprise to the general public that such '.aims e:sted and it is not without A certain degree of ldignati.a tjjat the claims have been contemplated. : If they do exist in fact as well as claim then it be- diim increasingly important from many points' of view hat the people knpw it. Perpetual franchises should be normously valuab'yior taxation purposes. As the years oil on and 'r.eftland grows in sire and consequence they ecome of fnore and more value and form an increasingly Valuable asset' jtk raising revenue for public-purposes. If. they are not perpetual In their character-while they aVe still valuable for taxation purposes they cannot rea sonably be rated so high. But from every point of view lit is important that this question should be settled for lt time. The duty to bring the question to a neaa rests with the city council.

Such questions are engaging the at--ntion of such bodies All over the . United States, .'hose that take thera up and meet them in th modern pirit are gaining , much in prestige in consequence and r.

We commend the matter Xo its prayerful consideration. .-; TAUMANYS rSR THING." T.IS the Wseproud that make no -revolutions Wat may oe mng , w - fnmna1. New York City has had many re cent revelations.: It has long known Tammany. and it believed knew it at it worst but it now knows it as the simple creature of the frenzied financiers who though not in politics themselves simply pull a Atnng to elevate Of raw down" the creatures who are nommAlly the he Ad nd front of thAt AH-powerful organization. Face to face, in And out, it has never .before known it thus. It sees that great political machine in partnership with the Republican political machine,' each helping the other, one to hold the state And the other the city. , U has long known that the organization was run as A great exploit xing machine for the benefit of those nominally as well as those actually at its head. But it never appeared to such disadvantages A it does now. . , i , r, The proof, is' (tie extraordinary Revolution worked in New' York's polities by the very recently announced can didacy of W. R. Hearst Back of him is no great po litical organization and at the beginning he seemed much , like one man opposing an army. No movement" could inv tw-MT treated with srreater contempt by1 its oppon ents. 1 It was as much as Tammany would do to conde . scend to Acknowledge lhat it W on earthy , But ; two brief weeks havV got the organization down from it Uigh. horse,,? ItVealizeA that back of the Hearst propa '"'iranHi is something aooroaching A popular uprising and worst of all it ft in the very heart of the districts hereto fore considered .sacred to Tammany. Indeed so wide spread has the movement become that notning wouia surprise the onlopker. Tammany is beginning to be so active that it looks as though something like a panic had seized the organisation. The popular cause, the modern cause through which the public will .come into what be longs to it, is the : movement which Mr. Hearst has headed. It is; the. movement which, is bound to win, if not this time then the next, but on a fair, square vote, ' on the question of what is best for the people themselves there can be no doubt of what would be most desirable in the November election.

In my Judgment thi wa not a ' square deal. n Those who have seen the picture that Rembrandt painted, now in' the Byks ' Museum In Amsterdam, will readily con " cede that the copy which has been on . view.

T9 JOURNEY OF LEWIS , AND CLARK Opposite Bonneville, Oregon. . . October JO A moderate rain fell dur ing all last night but th morning was cool, and after taking a scanty break fast of deer, we proceeded. Th rlvr la now about thre quarter of a mil wide, with a current so gentle that It doe not exceed on mil and a half In an hour, but Its course is obstructed by th projection of larg rocks, which em to hav fallen promiscuously from th mountains into th bed of the river. On the lft aid four different stream of water empty themselves In cascades from .th hills; what is, how aver, most . singular is that there ar stumps of pin trees scattered to some distance In tb river, which has th ap pearance of being dammed below and forced to encroach on th shore.
