Tho cxaot amount of (ho indebted
ness or Unjon county is, no doubt,
considerable, but not so great as
omo, from mollyoN of porsoual in
torost or political aggrandi.emeu,
would llko to liuvo it appear, Wo
believe, judging from ro?ont inves'
tlgatlous that hayo been made, that
tho indebtedness will fall at loast
twonty thousand dollars sort of the
amount roported by tho expert recent'

Itself. While tho amount of our in
dobtednoss is largo, and might, bv
strict ndhoronen to tho principles of
economy, have boon loss, wo do not
think any of our readers will bcliovo
with our Iju Qrando contemporary,
that tbo proseut stato of affairs has
boon brought .about in couseqponco
of tho dominauco of any parlioular
political party, It Is true that during
the time Union has beon doing btisi
liess as n county, it has boon consid
ered democratic, but it is equally true
that inuny republicans liuvo held re
sponsible olltcos, and takou very
promluont parts in the government
of the oounty. Wo do not bollevo
with tho Argus that our political op
ponents nro all a sot of thioves, whom
to loavo in power would bo to jeopar
dize our political and social institu

ruin, Tho expression of such senti

Tukuu is n fooling of uneasiness
existing at Portland over tho anti-

An outbreak may possibly occur there
at a:iy timu, but it is hardly probable
that a mob would escape so easily in

has inlrooured u bill providing for
tho repeal of all tro-itics permitting
the coming of Chinese to tho United
Slnto9, and prohibiting their coining
except in case of diplomatic and olli
cial personages.
It has been suggested that the
trouble at Seallle grow tut of the
jealousy existing between that city
and Taeoma. Tacoma drovo out tho
