State Treasurer. Phil Metchanaaie up
from Portland this morning, where he
went yesterday to visit, in company with
the governor and the waterway conven

near, the foothills of the . Cascades,, and

County -assessor Barnett left this after
noon, to wmmencfr, his. .annual, round of
assessing the. county !; He ; will; begin on
the, other, rBide, of the Deschutes. The
county Jourt yesterday instructed him to
assess air property at a rate of about
three-fourths of its -marketable value.
This though higher than the assessment
- of last year does not necessarily mean
higher taxes, It really ought. to. mean a
lower levy,' now that we have a state
board of equalization. - We believe that
undetuthe circumstances.. a. seventy-five
per cent, rate is just about what it ought
to.be, -A lower one, wottfd,..be..japt to . be
raised, by the. state, board ..and ,a higher,
one would likely be too high and would
call for a reduction that might not be
made.

A Housing Temperance Meeting-
The largest temperance meeting ever
held in San Francisco gathered in the
Grand Opera House on the. evening of
the 6th. Ex-governor Geo. C. Perkins,
chairman of the evening,: who strongly
endorsed the movement to diminish by
law the awful work which: thousands of
saloons are doing in this city.
Archbishop Kiordar delivered the ad
dress. He quoted from Gladstone, Car
dinal Manning, Judge Noah Davis, of
New York, Powderly, Gen. Booth and
many others. For one hour and a half
he held the close attention of the great
audience upon this sorcalled hackneyed
subject.
At the last, he threw aside his man
uscript and for a short time talked most
feelingly to his own people, of whom no
doubt a large number were present,- upon
the woes and miseries of drunkenness.
We were glad to' see and hear, for the
first time, this . man, the head of the
Roman Catholic church oh this coast.
We were glad to know that so learned,
eloquent and practical a bishop, one who
holds opinions and views upon practical
questions and deadly evils, which we
most heartily endorse, is over that great
churchv ..
Judging by the numbers and utterances
of this meeting, there is reason to hope
that some control over the saloon power
in this city may be obtained by our citi
zens. At present the saloonsVrule and
ruin the city .; We ought to rule and ul
timately ruin the saloons. By 'united,
wise, fearless, unselhsb and unceasing
efforts on the Dart of all eood citizens.
this can be done. But to disconnect the
bar from the corner grocery, stop sales
to children,, stop tales : by women, stop
sales on Sunday, stop the granting of
free licensee- and raise alt --licenses ,from
$21 to $150 a quarter to do this and
nothing mor.will:-require united -effort
on- the-part of all" good, citizens,- which
has not Deen put forth in this city for
many years.,. Let. us .sign the petition
and work j to achieve-; even one of the
above desired results! Any thing to
break the horrid apathy which is upon
our citizens,. and lift 'it even- a little the
heavy burden which the saloons are lay-
5 racijic.
Yesterday 'a Election.
"The election today is nearly unani
mous in favor of . bonding the city for
$25,000 to. complete the present system
of water works. This shows that the fac
tion in favor of keeping alive the old fight
are those persons who fire now attempt
ing , to inaugurate the V flume system
of water works. - We never believed that
using the old flume, draining a saw. mill
pond, was the proper one for the city ;
but now that the system ; is begun, we
desire to see it rise" or fall on its own
merits, and are willing to abide the de
cision of .the logic of events." Times
Mountaineer. This is an amazing confession. If the
result of the election yesterday is an in
dication of the relative strength of the
two so-called faptions in 4this city a
mighty , powerful conviction takes pos
session of us that-thre is little left of one
of them. Eleven., persons only, voted
"No" and.it is -a -fair . presumption that
Mr. Michel 1 waa .one of them.;., Thus the
Times-Mountaineer-, and its ten-constituents
will go down.. -.'to. ? posterity- as the
men who wantonly attempted to cut off
their noses to vex their faces. Thus too,
has the Times-Mountaineer put itself on
record as opposing a measure, which if it
had not carried, would have left the city
to drink the putrid water of Mill creek
for the next two years, filling it with
sickness, disease and death and render
ing useless and inoperative, for that
time, all the money hitherto . spent - to
improve our water supply, while at the
same time the interest on the outlay
already made would be constantly ac
cumulating.
It is a matter for profound congratu
lations that the election has demon
strated beyond the possibility of cavil
that the element that is said to have for
so long time retarded the progress of this
city has been reduced to ten mossbacks
and one Silurian and further reduction
is not desirable as these are necessary to
preserye the species.

The London Lancet, a leading medical
journal, gives the following facts about
liquor drinking in England:
It is appalling to find that the drink
bill of 1890 amount to JE139,496,470, an
increase f 7 ,282.103 ..over the , . sum, r of
the previous year, all common sense and
medical science notwithstanding. It is
said to be equal to one-twelfth of the
estimated income of all persons, to one-
fifth of the national debt, and to be
eight times more than the income of all
the Christian churches. Xt is not our
business to moralize on this expenditure.
To ..us it .means, eo much . scirrhosis,
Blight's disease, gout, rheumatism, in
sanity, etc., disabling employment; tak
ing the pleasure out of the life of families
and bread out of the mouths-of .children..
The drink bill for last year is larger than
for- any year but that of 1878, when it
waa more than one hundred and. forty-
tw.o millions of pounds, ,

A Surprise Party.
Mrs. Judge, Thorn bury was the recip

day afternoon.
It being her birthday her friends took
it upon themselves to give her a surprise
and to Bay they , were successful does not
express it. She was conveniently invit
ed out for an hour or two in the middle
of the day and her friends embraced the
opportunity to step in and prepare the
rooms. The decorations were ferns And
flowers. When the proper time arrived
for her return a messenger was sent re
questing her presence at home immedi
ately. She came,; and saw, and was sur
prised. The ladies then arranged them
selves at the different tables and the
afternoon was spent- in playing Drive
whist ; of course as it was a party . of
ladies there was a very limited amount
of conversation,. - At Jour, o'clock a very
