Tho sentiment Iiub been njiplici ulc in tho socio! relations of the poo- jilo of ovory iign. One species, bow fiver, escaped tlm siilirc of tlic bnrd. and that is the Invariable "male gran ny , ' ' that in these later days is lo be found in every community. When one of the latter is placed by mistaken friends in the editorial chair of any nowspapcr, and giron unbridled li renso to vent his spleen , and full scope for silly chatter on matters that should receive tho serious attention of men of hemic, tho curtain harrangues of Mrs. Caudlo, sink into insignilicauco, unil the onlv result is "confusion worse confounded." Wv arc led to these reflections by tho perusal of u column mid a half of driveling nonsense which appeared last week in one of the La Grande papers, relative to the condi tion of county affairs, and the position taken by this journal therein. It is a fact, and has been doubtless noted by all, that tho greatest amount of talk indulged in concerning the ras cality of private individuals, and ofll- cials of high and low degree, is al ways by blatant wiiulhags, who carry none of tho burdens themselves, who pay no taxes, and who are utterly ir responsible for anything they say. "If 'tis a pity, pity 'tis, 'Ms true," and we nave no desire to enter into a controversy with such , The Scout is tho ' 'mouth-picro" of ovory honest man in the country who desires to use it to express an earnest thought. We nro glad to havo any question of pub lic importance ventilated in its col umns, and while wo are not answera ble for the sentiments expressed by our correspondents, we deslro to give evcryono a hcarkig, and draw our own conclusions. Tho Scout is indopoudant in every thing, neutral in nothing, and what ve givo utterance to, editorially, we will be found responsible for. Possi bly wo may err in judgement, but if we do, are over ready to be enligh tened, and to maku amends. "When tho vile aspersions of one of tho above mentioned grannios can affect us in the least degree, in the estimation of intelligent people, we shall bo great ful to any kind friend who will take u bare bodkin and usher us on to an other stage of existence. An AsHOSSinotit Law. Some of tho principal features of the proposed tux bill, prepared by tho tax commission. The bill provides for the assessment and taxation of all real and personal property in the Mjito, and of all personal property or the res idents of the state. No matter where It may bo, railroad , Insurance, ex press, telephone, sleeping-car, wagon-road and bridge companies, shall bo taxed on their gross receipts, tele graph companies on miles of wire. The trqo cash value of mortgages hav ing been ascertained shall bo assessed to tho morgngco and morgagor in pro portion to their re.ipectlvo interests. Each county shall ho divided into as Bcssment districts and the assessor fiball appoint a deputy, subject to tho approval of tho County Court for each district, who nhull adjust assess ments in accordance with the true cash value of all property. Assess ments shall he made upon all proper ty us it existed on tlio tlrst day of April in Cituh year, and the roll must be complcto on the 16th day or .May. Taxes of all classes, stato, county, road nnd school district shall be pay able in a lump to county treasures, duo Oct. 1st. each year and delinquent dun. lbt , followingafter that dato tho roll is turned ovor tu the sheriff and fi per cunt, added and power to distrain, nud sell properly , etc , and provided rules for redemption of property sold for tuxes. Taxation of property is an important question and the proposed plan ought to bo well considered by our tax payers, lMuludealui'.

"All, over the territory the advocates of pro- i liibition, much encouraged by tho re- j cent passage of the local option law aro mustering their forces, prepara tory to a bold tight in Juno next.

There is a move on foot to have the registration law declared unconstitii tioiiai. aii injunction suit was brought in the Stato Circuit Court at Portland, on Wednesday, against the County Court of Multnomah Countv to restrain it fiom putting the regis tration law Into effect, Tlic judge, after hearing the argtiirent, decided that thorc was no equity in tho bill of complaint presented, that tho plaintiff was not entitled to any relief, and dis missed the bill. The case will be carried to tho Supremo Court, which will fully test the constitutionality of tho law. It will bo a good thing to hnvc Hits case disposed of, as it lias been u 15-pu..lo td the county courts throughout the State. L'hi: Germain Hoard of Agriculture has scut to I'rluce lilsmark a rcsolu tion advising him thai as tho world is suffering from tlio depreciation of sil ver, extraordinary menus 'should be restored to, with the object of raising tho p'-ico of that metal. Germany, the resolution says, should do her utmost to support all the efforts that may be made to that end. The Government, it is suggested, should negotiate with I2njduiid, with a vclw of Inducing that country to join with Germany iu the coinage of silver of full value, and thus enable other countries to resume tho unlimited coinage of silver. The resolution of collide is warmly com mended by tho hi-mctallist organs. Ill IIIMHI I.II IIIIMUMIIWIII Tin: local paper is the best paper in the world. All papers cannot, supply the place of the home paper. No oth er contains the marriages and deaths, to say nothing of tho births and divor ces. ..No other paper gives t tic time of holding the next ball, picnic or po litical meeting; no other publishes the oil of honor of tho public schools; no other discusses the affairs of tlio town and county, or gives tho local news which can bo obtained trom 110 other source hveryuouy roans It. Tins is why tho local paper Is the best read paper in tho world, and tjiu best ad vertising medium for Its circulation extant.
