The Tammany society absolutely con
trols the politics of New York city and
largely those of New York state and as
New York goes, so generally goes the
wholes nation. Tumtuany therefore
largely controls the politics of the United
States. What is Tammany? It is a
political society in New York city whose
strength and vitality are drawn from
the cohesive power of public plunder.
In New York city Tammany controls
the county and city government, root
and branch, stem and leaf. There are
$17,110,000 expended annually for salar
ies and wages alone, from 15,000 to 17,
000 employes, getting from f 2 a day to
$15,000 a year, and all those getting $900
a year and upwards are subjected to .a
tax rate of from 2 to 5 per cent. Even
the street sweepers are taxed and asaesed
for purely patriotic purposes. There are
7000 employes of contractors who depend
' upon Tammay Hall's kind indulgence.
There are 8000 saloons which means a
street twenty-five miles long of solid
saloons on both sides of the street, each
with at least one barkeeper and one
saloon-keeper. Each one of these 40,000
men depends for his daily bread, hope
of subsistence and future promotion
upon the propaganda of Tammana Hall
and if each will control three others you
have then an army of 100,000 men di
rectly depenent upon the autocrat of Tam
many Hall who himself gets a salary of
$50,000 a year for being boss. These are
facts that some people do not like to
' hear but facts notwithstanding that
give us a glimpse of the seething rotten
Bess of national as well as politics.
The county court of Union county ac
cepted the findings of the state board of
equalization notwithstanding the. pro
test of the taxpayers. Now three of the
latter have commenced an action in the
circuit court against the state board
claiming that the board, in adding a cer
tain per centum to some classes of
property and deducting certain rates
from others, exercised its functions er
roneously and exceeded its jurisdiction
to the injury of the plaintiffs. General
"dissatisfaction is felt among the tax
payers of Union county with the action
of the state board and this action is
brought to make a test case. We le-
lieve the case will le decided in favor of
the taxpayers and in that event we can
congratulate ourselves that the county
court of this county had the good sense
to reject the turnings ol the state board.
- Paul Svhulze, general land agent of
the Northern Pacific is refreshingly
frank in the avowal of his political prin
ciples. Speaking of the outcome of the
-approaching campaign he says: "Har
rison has done all the mischief he can
and the democrats all the mischief they
can and that is about all there is to it."
Mr. Schulze, some time ago. renounced
republicanism. Now he says, "I think
too much of n v associations to connect
myself with the democracy. I am noth
ing but a mugwump and a gold bug."
"Eight hundred eastern newspaper
editors," says an exchange, 'are heading
for the Pacific coast in one drove. They
will "arrive in San Francisco on the .first
of May, and many, if not all of them,
will .come to Oregon." Then the Lord
have mercy on The Dalles if any of tkein
come here. Ve have two or three too
many already.
Valuable Real Estate.
The prodigious increase in the value of
Fifth avenue property is indicated by
the terms in which a part of the land at
the southwest corner of Fifth avenue
and Thirtieth street, upon which the
new hotel, the Holland house, stands, has
been-leased by Mrs. Mary J. Van Doren,
the builder and owner of that imposing
edifice. - It is understood that Mrs. .Van
Doren was able to buy outright three
fourths of the land necessary for the site
but that for the corner part of it she was
compelled to pay the almost incredible
ground rent of $13,000 a year clear, she
agreeing to pay the taxes.
It is understood also that the lease is
for 100 years.- Hence the owner of this
land and the heirs will enjoy an income
of $13,000 per year, free of all burden or
expenses, for the next 100 years. Think
of it! . Thirteen hundred thousand dol
lars merely for- the use of a piece of
land on a Fifth : avenue corner, without
the Owner 'being obliged to spend one
cent for improvements, taxes or any
other form of outlay. Fortunate, in
deed, are the possessors and inheritors of
Fifth avenue corner lots. New York

A tmy in m Boiler.
r-aniay morning Engineer . tw.
ley .crawled into a boiler. Sunday night
he crawled out. It was a bright, active
man that entered the grim mouth of the
big iron cylinder. It - was a feeble,
broken, nerveless creature that emerged
to light again after an experience such
as turns men's hair gray in an hour and
shatters their constitutions for life. That
Mr. Risley is alive today is due both to
his presence of uiind and the endurance
of his sinewy frame. Death had stared
him in th? f;tcu for' hiKira that seemed
like interminable days to. him.;-. . V ' .'
Mr. Risley Ls employed as engineer in
the factory of Nathan Drncker & Co..
trunk, and valise manufacturers. Sun
day the establishment was solitary, and
Mr. Risley took advantage f the oppor
tunity to clean out the big boiler in the
basement. He went alona He usually
took a candle into the boiler, but could
find none on this morning, and he lit a
lamp, which he placed' in such a position
that its "bright -rays flickered - down
through the gloomy flues nnder which
he was to pass.
Opening the manhole in the end, Mr.
Risley had soon wormed his way to the
farthest end of the passage into which
he ventured. :' Water was' standing
several inches deep in the bottom of the
boiler, having dripped down from above,
and the engineer was chilled to the bone.
But he cared uttle for that excepting to
remain but a few minutes. He finished
his work and started to return. It oc
curred to him that he ' might avoid the
icy water better if he turned around and
sought egress head first. - . .
Narrow as the rtassatre was. he had
accomplished"' this feat more than once
before and he anticipated no difficulty in
repeating it. Slowly he turned, closing
his limbs together like the blades of a
knife and bringing his knees against his
chin. He succeeded in turning half way
around when he found that he could go
no farther.
FASTENED IN THK BOILER.
Mr. Risley made vigorous efforts to
complete the turn, bat in vain. Then
he concluded to resume his original po
sition and back out, but to his horror he
found that Kb could not move. He had
become fixed, in the strained position he
occupied, and his attempts to move only
made matters, worse. - For a quarter of
an hour the engineer worked to free
himself, while the perspiration poured
from rum in spite of the chill the
water had produced. Then the awful
reality of his predicament dawned upon
mm tor the hrst time and almost drove
his senses away. He was fastened, with
out hope of freedom, in a space hardly
large enough for his body.
The pitiless iron bore down on his
head above and seemed to be acquir
ing the weight of a thousand hundred
weight. The faint gleam of the lamp
above illuminated the darkness of the
engine room and the blacker night of
the boiler s interior. His position forced
the blood to his bent head. Mr. Risley
did not know how long he could stand
the strain. Before the morning, how
ever, when the factory would resume its
life, he would be unconscious and the
manhole would be shut, the fires lighted
and he would awake, if he awoke at all.
to be roasted alive before .it would be
possible to extricate him.
Filled with the horror of his position,
the engineer shouted for help, but his
voice was smothered in the depths of his
prison." He found, too, that he could not
exercise his vocal powers with effect, as
his chest was pressed against his knees
so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
A FORTUNATE RELEASE. .
Mr. 'Risley collected his senses and re
solved to husband hia strength, and
above all, to keep cool. He knew that
to remain where he was until the next
day, cramped in the icy water, would be
fatal, and he went to work carefully to
extricate himself. .
No words could describe the suffer
ings of Mr. Risley during that Sabbath.
Noon came, and he thought it must al
ready be night. Then the long, long
afternoon. The lamp paled, and with a
final splutter went out altogether. The
captive felt himself growing weaker.
His body was half frozen as it lay in the
water. He had spent the long hours in
desperate attempts at freedom, alter
nated by long periods of despairing rest.
Thoughts of his wife and three little chil
dren came to his frenzied brain. The
flues seemed pressing slowly upon him
on all sides, like the famous "iron bride'
of the days of tortnre. .
After nightfall, by some happy chance,
the engineer unlocked his cramped limbs.
How he did it he does not know. Half
crazed by his terrible experience, he
struggled madly for escape.. Reaching
the air outside he. sank to the ground
and lay exhausted for an hour before he
was able to go home. Cincinnati Cor.

Be Careful of Geography.
When you are writing a novel don't
get your geographical facts so badly
mixed as to reflect discredit upon your
early training. In one of the popular
novels or the day the Azores are referred
to as in a southern latitude. The writer
also introduces his hero into the antarc
tic regions1 in - January, and speaks of
the . "inky blacknessn-of the nights he
experienced there. " "Of course anybody
ought to know that the month of Jan
uary is the height of the antarctic' sum
mer, and the entire month is one con
tinuous day. -Ooldthwaite's Geograph
ical Magazine. -
- A Horned Bird...
Birds have horns also sometimes. The
horned screamer which is related to the
duck has a Bingle horn attached to its
skull, springing from a cartilaginous
base and curving upward. It is really
a modified feather, though a true horn
