It also gives more explicit powers to the Mavor, and enables him to enforce the ordinance passed by Ihoeouncil with out unnecessary delay, and to have a better control over the various departments of the city government so that he will be enabled to see tlicy all perforin their duties In a proper manner. The need of a new charter as drafted is such as to justify the Imnie iliate and more vigorous otforta of our representatives, and it is hoped they will comply with .the prayer of the petitioner. The largest corruption fund ever raised in North I'akola, except that furnished by the Louisiana Company last winter, is now on hand to secure passage of the resubmission bill. A majority of the saloon keepers and lliUor dealers in that state have I sen as sessed, and immense contributions have been made by brewers and w hi-kyile alers of other states. A crisis has now Nt'ii reached irthe light for prohibition In North Dakota, and the legislature is about evenly divided in sentiment on tlds iieslion. The constitution, made and adopted in 1XS0, and the law of IKM, established prohibition, but the enactment was set at dellance, and liquor has been sold throughout the state almost as openly as ever, penning the de cision In a test case lietoro the supremo Court. The finding of that tribunal is against the liquor men, but still they do not give up Ihe struggle, A very strong ele ment in the legislature w ill push resubmis sion. The probability is that the measure will lie defeated. The latest canvass of both houses show s a slight majority in favor of the present iron-clad prohibition law. Ievelopmonts inuy lie sonsutionul as the fight progresses, out there Is not likely to ClZl.llHll ; p.oOand'ou.uo in forceTues be any great scandal, most of the mcmlcr t (lay mf,rnjn, to h.-cuio the passage ol I ho being raemphaticully committed to one si le j , nHoli.lalioii bill, hut by a htllu slip in or the other that the boodle ol whisky men will not lie useil very extensively or ell'ect ivelv. Caufoknu'i Kxhibit, known by the name of "California on Wheels," was side iaked In Oregon City Monday hist, and as a matter of course was visited by hundreds of ourcitizens. It comprises two coaches tilled with the products ol that state, lie- aides a private car for the convenience of those in charge. The exhibit has been out from San Francisco fourteen months, cov ering in that time the principal sections ol the entire country. Tlio exhibit Is some thing that probably can be duplicated by but one country in the world, and thnt is Oregon ; but this is easily accounted for in that California Is so close to our orchards and vineyards. California makes a very credible showing "on wheels," and tbuuks to the long heads of the members ol Its en terprising board of trade, thev have turned the eyes of many Easterners this way, but they will feel mighty small a few yours hence, when they see their elfurts double discounted with an "Oregon on Wings'" Thi severest blizzard known to that country for years has raged throughout the upier Mississippi valley during he past week. Many lives have been lost and much stock frozen to death, w bile the mercury has raiigvd from ten to thirty degrees below ri ro. No ni:e but those fumiliar with and have had exprience in, can realize the se verity of a typical Dakota blizzard. Yet the people of the Dakntas and contigu ous commonwealths welcome the elements of Boreas notwithstanding the immediate effects, and console themselves with hoping that with a superfluity of snow now they may be blest w ith an average crop the coin lug season. The pluck of the people of that country is much in excess of their gooil sense or they would not longer subject themselves to such unfavorable conditions, when Oregon with glowing sunshine and pastures green bids them welcome. We are in receipt of an argument by Postmaster General Wannamer in support of, art 1 on Unconstitutionality of, the lim 1 ed Post 8nd Telegraph. The stand taken by Mr. Wumiamakcr on this important matter important because it concerns every citizen of the nation, I: as fearless in its attack on a great monopoly as it is just. In his closing remarks he says: "If others speak out for the telegraph stockholders some one must stand for the peoflle in the interest of the cheaper tcle grapy that they want. I believe It belongs to this Department to tukc this stand, and I propose intelligently and persistently to keep this subject before you in strong confi dence that it will not bo long before your committee will take steps to give the people the reli prayed for." The name of Hon. Henry Failing, of Portland, as the possible successor of Secre tary of the Treasury Windoni is abroad, and is not by any means the least popular among candidates. His name has been unanimously endorsed by the Washington legislature, and they have requested their delegation in congress to support him for the appointment. It goes without saying that if vigorous work by our own represent atives, backed by the unanimous voice of Oregon constituency and a major portion of the Pacific West will have the desired effect, Mr. Failing's appointment will be forthcoming. Vol,. 1, No. 1, of the Buv City Tribune published by J, 8. Dulingcr, at a new burg from which its name is derived, situated on Tillamook Bay, and, as it says, "at the head of deep water," Is at hand. The Tribune is a six column folio, well edited, and there fore spirted and newsy. Thk active militia force of Oregon, com. prising l,700olllcers and men, is composed of one brigade, commanded by Brigadier General J. M. Siglin. The brigade is com posed of three regiments of infantry, one battery of light artillery, ami two troops of cavalry.

The seiiulo is much Itiitlier advanced with lis work tliiin tlio house mid inav possililv avoid much of the final squabble wiii, It must inevitably come soon in the house The senalo has put in several evenings grinding out eoipoiaiion bills whii4i me legion this session and now has most of theso reconlcd on the "passe I" page of tlio caleudei . This branch of the legislature is most fortunate in having a lightning reading clerk in the person ot J. Ii.

Wonder it lie hud not heard of the fail ure of the senate to pass Cross bill to abolish the horticultural board? llo may have lound that some of the ineiii beisof the present board would tiud lobbying at Salem for their re-election loo dull, and inellicient and might con clude to run out and colore the law against him. This bill was intioJuccd by senator Cross nt the instance of James Winstan. of Damascus. Its passive would have saved to the state the saleries of the oili, w hich amounts to considerable during the summer and the state would h ive been that amount hotier oil each vcar. the inanuu'i'ineiit, it was postpone! till Thursday when it is set for special order. There seems to U' a at rung un dercurrent of imposition to this bill, the cause of which is apparent to those familiar with political history. It m dillieidt to my what fate the bill w ill meet either in Iioiinu or senate. Ijuilo a number of Kurt I'orllunders were re joicing at a lulu hour on Tuesday night or was it Wednesday morning over the passage of the l.ast Portland charter bill.

No indeiitedncss is allowed except on re corded mortgages. An exemption of ij'M) i allowed from llui aggregate assessment of each householder. The to t seems to contain a number of queerpiovisions. The lir-d section read, "All real and personal property in the state, and personal piowrty owned by any person residing therein, inn subject lo taxation " Thus if a resident of Ore gon owns 11100 bend of stock in Washing ton they must pay taxes in this slate. However ns the hill has not yet passed the senate it is very uncurtain whether it will become n law. Senalo bill No. til introduced hy Mr. ( 'a i hi in , mid relating to the duties of rail roid commissioners contains a clause which looks us if the democratic clerk of senate, committee on railroads anil cor poration!), might luivo had a hand in preparing tho bill, and that n part o( section four was written by V N.

C. N. Scott, it railroad man, ought never to luivo been made dork of that committee, in the first place and tins looks very much iih though the railroad meant to luivo at least one member of the boatd identified with thnir interests. Is Senator Curson lending himself as a tool to his clerk or is he to bo considered the champion of the railroads? Representative Tracy wunls to luive chickens;, luoN and geese corralled. His bill (or this reads : Section 8.
