A USELESS STRUGGLE.
The attac k on Parnell at Ballinakill
Tuesday was cowardly in the extreme.
Parnell and Davitt had ith been speak
ing and party spirit was running at flotxl
tide. After a battle with clubs at this
place by the opposing faction, Parnell
and his party drove to Castle Corner,
quickly fol lowed by Davitt and his party.
- Here Davitt and Parnell both began to
address the crowd, when some, of the
Davitt party began throwing small bags
filled with lime, Harringtons shoulders
were covered with it, and Parnell was
struck fair in the face, his eyes being
filled with lime. This caked under his
eyelids and the local doctor was unable
t romove it. Parnell was hurried to
town and the lime was removed. He
suffered intense pain but l)ore it bravely.
His physician says his eyesight will not
e injured.
The part of wisdom would suggest that
the battle is lost, and the struggle useless.
Parnell must realize that he is bowled
down and out ; that he can never hope to
again lead the Home rule party for the
reason that for the next twenty years
there will be no Home rule party. There
is nothing to be gained, nothing to be
lost, and but one thing remains for Par
jiell and that is to marry Mrs. O'Shea,
and finish his days in the retirement that
act would give him. He has lost all for
her; she has lost all for him. Shut out
from the Eden of society by their own
acta, they should, like Adam and Eve,
console and comfort each other in the
little world of their own.
MONUMENTAL EGOTISM.
Politics makes strange bedfellows, it
also illustrates the abundant and various
quantities of American gall. The legis
lature in Idaho is in session and ballot
ing for TJ. S. senator is going on. The
candidates are fighting one another of
course, but the extreme cheek is exhib
ited by two of them proposing to the
other two to arrange the manner and
form in which the Idaho legislature
should make unhampered choice be
tween them. They assume that two of
the four must be elected, and imply that
the legislature must elect them. Time
was when the average American legisla
tor would have at once dropped the
whole four and hunted a new piece of
timber, but legislators now-a-days are
not built that way. Party service, party
expediency have their effect, and the
battle is not to the strong or the race to
the swift. Messers. Claggett and Me-
Cojuicll are both well known to us and
both excellent gentlemen, but their po
sition on the senatorial question entitles
' them to all the tricks when cheek
trumps.
THE ASSESSMENT LAWS.
Our friend Mr. Hugh Gourlay has
written several very able articles re
cently concerning the assessment laws,
his last .being perhaps the best. As far
as the argument goes it is well made,
and there can be no doubt but that the
system proposed by him would discover
credits, and wpuld remedy the evil of
returning fraudulent debts. The main
point, and the particular objection to
the mortgage tax law, however, escapes
him. And that is that the creditor com
pels the debtor to pay the tax, not di
rectly perhaps, but in the shape of a
bonus at the time the debt is created,
or in some other way the debtor is sad
dled with the payment of the tax, and
so pays taxes not only on what he owns,
but what he owes. Mr. Gourlay' has
studied the subject thoroughly and we
should be pleaded to hear his opinion
concerning that principal point.
KKVIKW .OF THK HOME MARKET.
The past week's trade has been light
compared with former ones. Interior
traffic, especially from a distance, has
fallen off in n measure, owing to the
lateness of the season. Ketall trade has
been ordinary, with indications of an
improvement as the holidays are near
ing. The inquiry for money loans has
slackened somewhat, as immediate re
quirements have leen met. and conse
quently a better feeling is experienced
than some time ago.
The wheat market is inactive, with
but few transfers, as the farmers who
have their crop on storage are holding
for better prices, Some more thought
ful ones, or from emergency, sold early
in the season, realizing 6(67c per
bushel. The present outlook for better
prices is not warranted in the face of re
ported facts.
The reported world's surplus is 90,
000,000 bushels over that of 1889.
In view of this statement which
has been put before the wheat
centres gives unfavorable futures
for the producers. There is a re
ported tonnage on the way to Portland
sufficient to move 3,000,000 bushels, and
with the expected tonnage to come, the
1890 cereal product will be nearly cleared
from the coast by the time the next bar
vest is ready, provided transportation
has been sufficient to move the crop to
the seaboard
Portland's quotation is, for valley $1.20
1.22Vj ; Eastern Oregon, $1.101.12 I
per cental.

regular. We quote Iso. 1 54c, No. 2 o.Sc

ton, middlings $22.50 per ton, rolled bar-
lev $30.00 per ton, ground or chopped,

with an upward tendaney. Choice tim
othy is selling from wagons at $18.00
$19.00 per ton. Wheat hay is very firm

A financial storm has been sweeping
over the East, equalling in 'severity the
present natural one which has covered
the middle Eastern states with from two
to three feet of snow. It has lieen a cold
day everyway, and the dispatches an
nounce a series of heavy failures. Bauks,
big business houses, manufacturing firms
have gone down and the end is not yet,
It ia thought though, in financial circles,
that the worst is over and that many of
the crippled houseB may be able to re
sume. While we are now feeling the
tightness of the money market, Oregon
is safe and able to ride -any financial
panic. . '
Y esterday's dispatches state that the
contest for the United fetates senate m
laho has been settled ; that Shoup and
McConnell will be elected, and that Du
Bois will then be elected for the long
term. Claggett, by far the ablest
of them all, will be left in the shade.
McConnell, having formed an alliance
with Claggett, haa deserted him and
gone over to the enemy, maKmg terms
for himself and leaving his former com
rade in the cold. It is not the correct
thing among friends, but politics are al
lowed to cover a multitude of sins, and
they generally do.
A terrible storm has swept over the
Eaat, blockading railroads, impeding
and stopping traffic and doing immense
damage. While our friends in the East
arc wrestling with cold and snow, here
the good old Webfoot skies precipitate
their extra moisture in the well known
drizzling way, and the thermometer in
