THE INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY JAN. 26, 1888 The pope's jubilee presents are valued at $15,000,000. During the last two census dec ades, the wealth of the United States has increased $28,000,000,000. Texas will dedicate a $7,000,000 state house in May. An effort will be made to hare President Clete land and President Diaz, of Mexico, present. The house in the Washington territory legislature has defeated the capitol removal bills. North Yakima lost her prospective "golden plum" by a vote of twelve to eleven. If the growth of Minneapolis con tinues it will soon become the great metropolis of the Northwest. It now claim a population of 190,000, a cain of 40.000 the rast vear. It now does a wholesale trade of $152, 000,000 a year Switzerland has adopted a new tariff increasing- duties yi almost all articles, and on some by four hundred per cent. Switzerland has been collecting a low revenue tariff. and the bulk of her people are as poor as the traditional church mouse. A bill will soon be introduced in the legislature of Washington terri tory asking that the territory nave power to issue bonds to the amount of $400,000, payable in fifty years, and to draw five per cent, interest. Money is needed to pay off outstand ing indebtedness and to meet cur rent expenses. England a generation ago made jute, flax and silk free. Its jute manufacture has gone to India, its flax mills in thirty-five years have dropped from thirty or forty to four or five above Leeds, and those eai ployed from 20,000 to 5000, with like results in other parts of Eng land; and the silk manufacture of England has removed to South France. Harvard, Yale, Columbia and "Williams college teach their students free trade theories. Indeed the majority of our colleges teach the free trade philosophy of revenue and taxation, except those of Pennsyl vania. This is not a very significant fact, for a great many colleges teach a good deal that the graduate in after life finds out to be mere scholastic rubbish. The pedagogue is not always, nor often, a statesman. In an interview at Venice, Don Carlos declared that Spain must be come one of the great European powers, that her navy must be im mediately strengthened, and that obligatory service was essential. The present monarchy, he said, was unfitted to carry on the work before it, and unless it was replaced, he was strongly of the opinion that a republic would soon come. The Spanish future lay in Morocco and South America. Don Carlos ex pressed his readiness to fight for the Spanish cause the moment he was called. Laing, in his travels in Norway, says that the horsea in that country have a very sensible way of taking their food. Instead of swilling themselves with a pailful of water at a draught, from the fear of not getting any again, and then over gorging themselves for the same reason, they have a bucket of water put down beside their allowance of hay. It is amusing to see with what relish they take a sip of one and a mouthful of the other alter nately, sometimes only moistening their mouths, as a rational being would do while eating a dinner of such dry food. A broken-winded horse is scarcely ever Norway. seen in VIEWS O.V THE TARIFF. The New York Time says that Thomas Gale, president of the Onondaga Salt works, is an English man by birth, but has been a resi dent of Salina, near Syracuse, N.Y., for fifty-one years, and has been in the salt business forty years. He is a democrat in politics. "I go to New York," says Mr. Gale, "with a cargo of salt, and meet a man from Europe with a cargo of salt. He comes into New York free. We both sell at the same price. Very well. My cargo has paid a school tax, a highway tax, a poor tax, a law and order tax, a county tax and a state tax. That man's cargo has paid nothing. Shall we do by strangers better than we do by our own citizens, or shall we stop all improvements and .all progress? The foreigner takes the money away and improves his surroundings. The land that now pays one-tenth of all the tax in the town of Salina through the manu facture of salt, didn't pay a shilling tax fifty years ago." "Then, again," said Mr. Gale, "if we want cheap salt we must make it at home. English dairy salt sold in this market at $1.48 per bushel iu 1848, while for the last ten years the price has ranged from 72 to 85 cents per bushel." A WHISTLING STATION. "Portland is fast becoming bat little more than a whistling station for the railroads," said a prominent hotel man yesterday. The roads make such close connections that the traveler is harried from one depot to another and scarcely has time to eat a meal here The result is that the hotels are doing bat small business and the landlords are as gloomy as a lot of sextons instead of being jolly like they used to be. It is claim ed by the hotel keepers that the trains should stop for at least two hoars so as to allow the weary traveler a short period of rest and recreation. This would give the hotels a chanoe to make a little something oat ol the tourist. An effort should be made to make Portland something more than a whistling station. The above complaint comes from the Portland Neics, of a recent date. This result has been anticipated by us. When that journal was laud ing the Southern Pacific and giving Crocker, Stanford and the Califor nia journalists columns of "free puffs," we made the bold assertion that those men had no regard for Oregon further than that of vam pires. They expected to and would work unitedly to make Oregon trib utary to San Francisco and Califor nia as she had been in the past. That our only hope for speedy de velopment was in Oregon getting control of one or mo0t the great, transcontinental railways as Califor nia controlled many. We further declared that the Northern Pacific, contrary to all expectations and promises, had done little or nothing to benefit the state; that it is a grindiag monopoly, and iu every instance has put up freights to the highest point of toleration by an oppressed people. It refuses now to extend its lines into the mines and further notifies the Portland chamber that it is "cheeky," or its equivale t, in asking a reduction of tariff on ores from the Ctctir d' Alene mines. Further, it is now ap parent there will be a combination of issues formed between the several railway corporations whose lines ex tend into this state, which will work great injury to the state through freight and passenger discrimina tions; and nothing but the powerful interposition of the law will restrain these corporations from such rob bing combination. In view of past experience, Oregon can expect noth ing, and must le wary in her rail way legislation.. The railways must not be allowed to cripple our strug gling industries and retard immi gration to the state. Congress should do something; the interstate commerce law seems to be a farce, and the commission merely a tool in the hands of railway corporations. If Oregon would make the progress possible and ia keeping with her natural resources, she must place herself in an independent position and tear herself away from these soulless monopolies vampires from abroad, who come here to stagnate our arteries of traffic and feast upon our rich commercial blood, made possible through such stagnation. THE JOIST LEASE FOIWIODES UY LA H' The Oreymian says: The one single object of the act known as the "railway lease bill," passed by the legislature of Oregon at the last session, was to authorize the O. tt. & N. company to lease their lines to the Union Pacific. It was repre sented that the consolidation of the Union Pacific and the O. It. & X. lines into a single system would be an excellent thing for Oregon, since it would give the state a continuous line across the continent under a single management, and moreover would enlist the powerful Union Pacific in the work of developing a system of local lines for tho Pacific northwest, in competition with the Northern and other roads. These arguments were set forth by agents of the Union Pacific and O. K. &. X. companies. Moved by them thelegislature of Oregon en acted the ' lease bill." To the terms of that bill the O. K. & X. must conform. Under these terms the Union Pacific may take a lease of the O. R. &. X., but the Xorthern Pacific cannot. It is necessary only to examine the act. The act simply extends or enlarges the general powers of the incorporation, within the limits it specifies; that is, incorporations are authorized by it to exercise certain power they were not authorized to exercise before. These powers are specifically defined. "In case the object or purpose for which any such incorporation is incorporated is in whole or in part to construct or construct and opeiate a railroad." then this act authorizes such incor poration to "lease any part or all of its road to any other company in corporated for the purpose of main taining and operating a railroad, and to lease or purchase, maintain and operate any part or all of any other railroad constructed by any other company, upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between said companies respectively." Now, if this were all, the O. K. & N. company could lease it lines to the Northern as well as to the Union, or to the Xorthern and Union jointly. But it is not all. There immediately follows a re strictive condition, to-wit: "Pro vided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize tho leas ing of any railroad line to anycom- pany or corporation owning a road which forms a competing or parallel line to its railroad." Consequently, since the Northern Pacific company owns a road which forms a competing and parallel line to the O. It. & N., the latter com pany is not only not authorized to lease to the Northern Pacfic, but positively forbidden to do so. There can be no doubt that the authorities of the state of Oregon will enforce the law in this particular against the lease of the O. It. & N. lines to the Northern, in conjunction with the Union, should there be an attempt to carry the lease into effect in this form. Continuing the subject, that journal publishes a letter from Van M. De Lashmutt, in which it i claimed that a majority of the O II. & N. Co. directors live in Oregon, and if they cannot prevent the pro posed lease, they can at least delay its consummation for a sufficient time to allow a special session of the leg islature to repeal the lease law. But the Ot't'ifmian bolieves as first stated, that the provisions of the leate law wili prevent the proposed com bination: but if in the judgment of lawyers il will noIr theu ile remedy possible in a special session must be called to the state's relief, as the cost of such legislative session would be trilling as compared with the damage to the material interests of the state involved in the combi nation which h;ts beeu character ized a ' scheme to rob north and rob south." JOIST LEASE I SLAW El L It is now claimed that the pro posed joint lease of the O. K. A: N. railroad by the Union and Northern Pacific railroads is prohibited by the interstate commerce law and the companies may be enjoined from carrying the lease into effect, as in terpreted from the following clause: "That it shall Im unlawful for any com mon carrier subject to the provision? of this net to enter into any contract, agreement or combination with any other common carrier or carriers for the pooling of freights of different or competing railroads, or to di vide lietween them the agv; rebate or net pro ceeds of the earnings of sueh railroads or any portion thereof: nnd iu case of an agreement for the pooling of freight as aforesaid, each day of its continuance shall Ik- deemed a separate offense." A late Washington telegram says the house has continued Carlisle's title to hi: scat as speaker of the house. Itltlrirt 4'lerk, Attention! Kditok Indf.i'kxuknt: As some changes were made in the school law by the last session of the legislature in refer ence to the duties of school clerks, per mit me to call their attention to them through the columns of your piper Blanks for making the annual report have just liecn received from Hon. E. 15. McKlroy, superintendent of public instruction, and forwarded to each dis trict. These rcKi t.s must be returned to this ottice by the first Monday of March, according to section 42, Oregon school laws, page 2$. This section of the law ha not been changed, but we find that subdi vision .1 of section 54, on page 0, adds considerable work to district clerks in the matter of enrol ling for school purposes all persons be tween four and twenty years of age. Clerks should read this sectioa carefully and comply with the provisions thereof. In thi- section you will fiud it necessary to visit each habitation, home, resilience. domicile or place of abode in the dis i trict, and by actual observation and in terrogation enumerate the census chil dren of the same, etc. After your re port is complete, it is to lie submitted to the directors ami citizens at the regular annual meeting on the first Monday of March, and all corrections necessary shall then be made, and the clerk shall tile the original report in his oflict? and shall forw ard a cert i tied copy of said retort to the county superintend ent not later than the fifteenth of March, etc. There is a con li n t between the first section referred to and the last in regard to the time of sending the clerk's iexrt to the superintendent the first requires the rcHrt to In; sent in by the first .Mon day of March, and the last by the fifteenth of the month as we are anxious to have every report strictly correct in every detail, and especially the financial part, we advise clerks to follow the directions in siilxll vision 5, section 54. and present their reports to the annual meeting, and if they reach this office by the 15th of March, it will lc satisfactory . Again, subdivision 6 of the last section mentioned, requires that the bonds cf the clerk shall le double the probable amount of all school moneys that shall come into his hands as dis trict clerk. The Uuid shall first be ap proved by the lHurl of directors within ten days from the date of the election and then sent to the county superin tendent and placed on tile within thirty days from the date of election. It would le advisable, we think, for clerks to keep a duplicate of their bond, but in nil rases the original mti-t lc tiled in this ollice. Clerks will please remcrnlier that no director cau go iiHn their Iwind section subdivision s of section 37, page 25, of the amended school laws. According to sulwlivision 14 of section 54, page :., the clerk shall immediately after the annual meeting send a list of the officers of his district to the superin tendent. gUing the length of term and postoflice address of eaeh director, and the clerk or the district. And for all this work unless there has been a tax levied clerks get no remuneration unless the districts are willing to allow them some compensa tion for their Ialors. We Iiojm? directors will allow every clerk a reasonable amount for actual time spent in making reports, etc . The duties devolving on school officers are sometimes rather unpleasant, and a great deal of unnecessary fault finding is indulged in, occasionally by patrons of the school, but this should not deter good men from accepting such positions, as our school interests are worthy of the best thought and atten tion of our people.

I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, be lieving as I do that, but for its use, I should long since have died from lung troubles. E. Bragdon, Palestine, Tex. About six months ago I had a severe Hemorrhage of the Lungs, brought on by distressing Cough, which deprived me of sleep and rest. I had used vari ous cough balsams and expectorants, without obtaining relief. A friend ad vised me to try . Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and am happy to say that it helped me at once. By continued use this medicine cured my cough, and, I am satisfied, saved bit life. Mrs. E. Co burn, 18 Second St., Lowell, Mass. I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for over a year, and sincerely belie afaoohl hav been in my frare, JUd . not been for this medicine. It has eule-i me of a dangerous affection of the lungs, for which I bad almost despaired of ever finding a remedy. D. A. McMullen, Windsor, Province of Ontario. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life. Two years ago I took a very severe Cold which settled on my lungs. I consulted physicians, and took the remedies they prescribed, but failed to obtain relief until I began using Ayer's Cherry Pec toral. Two bottles of this medicine completely restored my health.
