Pretention for Baldnett.
"Step right in here and I'll tell you all
about the new process for the prevention
of baldness."
'This process is entirely new. I found
it out in this way: A friend of mine
went to Paris a short time ago, and at
the time of his departure his hair was
very thin and continually falling out.
On his return the ajjpearance of his head
was entirely changed, being covered with
a growth of hair ever so much more
luxurious and thick than previous to his
departure. On inquiring the reason for
this change I was informed that ho had
his hair singed. Here was a practical
illustration of the good effects followinp
this new method, so I made up my mind
to adopt it, and have doneo very suc
cessfully. "How is it done? "Well. I just take a
lighted taper and pass the flame over
the tips of a man's hair which is at all
thin or has a tendency to fall out that
is all. You see, every hair is hollow, and
more or less of the fluid necessary for its
growth escapes. "When the top of the
air is singed the aperture is closed and
the strencthenine fluid retained."
I " "Will not the same means be employed
to encourage the growth of hair on the
bald upper lip3 of some of our youth?"
was asked. "Exactly. You see my mus
tache? It is thicker on one side than the
other. That is caused by smoking my
cigars just a little to short and they singe
my mustache on one side and mcko it
thick there. This goes to prove that
sin peine is beneficial. I have no doubt
that before long you will see in front of
all the barber shops of this city signs
.marked 'Singeing done here.' "

TOl'ICS OF THE TIMES.
Taxr Municipal Action, Etc
Papers throughout the state are dis-
cassinC taction. The several assessors,
municipal, state, countj, school district,
j and bo on, aro distributing blanks, and
' the usual hubbub goes on regarding what
i is assessable and what isn't. That ridic-
ulous law that a man's indebtedness h1ik1I
C an to "e taen "ut his taxable
property is conveniently used, and the
cheerful sttomeut s volunteered that
the more a man owes the bettor off he id
when the assessors' reports are to be
made out. The mortgage tax law is an
other fruitful Hource of discussion, and
the whole business of taxation in Oregon
seems to be inextricably mixed. And
yet it does not seem to be such a dread
ful problem. There is so much money to
be raised; there is so much property on
which to raise that money. How to do it
is the consideration, and there are as
many different suggestions as there are
minds to formulate ideas. It may be
stated as an axiom that low valuation
involves high taxation. If we own $20,
000 worth of property and aro taxed on
$5,000, it looks all right on the face of it
as far as we are individually concerned,
but if the rate be twice what it should be,
there is not so muoh saved after ail
That is the great fault all through Ore
gon. Heal estate is assessed at a valua
tion away below what it is worth, in some
instances at one fourth what the owner
tasks for it. There is where the most
opposition comes regarding the taxation
or mortgages. A man says: "My neigh
bor owns a "farm that he refused to sen
to me last week for $12,000; the assessor
puts it down at $4,000. I hold a mort
gage that calls for $j,000,.but I have to
pay taxes on the fuii value" of that mort
gage. Where's the fairness?" Of course
that is confusing cause and effect, but it
ib results that most people look at, and
the manifest unfairness of putting the
valuation or real estate away down and
taxing mortgages at their face is bound
to work dissatisfaction.
Personal property, as a rule, avoids
taxation. It hides and lies, Heal estate
is not more honest or more moral. As it
cannot hide, it has not the courage to
lie. The cold, solemn fact is that nobody
pays taxes if he can help it. Everybody
wuo lives, or has ever lived, whether in
modern America, medieval England and
France, or ancient Greece or Koine, has
avoided taxes if possible. AH have
shirked them in every possible manner.
There are one or two poetical incidents
recorded in history wuere women have
roiuntarily brought forth their jewels
and offered to sacrifice them in aid ot
their country, but no single instance
where they were willingly exposed for tax
ation. Men olfer their lives, and volun
toer in defense of their native land, and,
for patriotic love of country, dare the
dreadful hazard of war; but no one ever
heard of any man offering to expose
property for taxation that had been over
looked by the law, unless he was endeav
oring to cure defective title by tax sale.
There is rarely a financial exigency so
great, or insolvency so imminent, or a
threatened repudiation so dishonorable,
that the community will voluntarily sub
mit to be taxed, even for the payment of
the just debts of a municipal or state
government.
A man that would no more think of
violating a business obligation than he
would think of setting his own uninsured
property on fire, will "kick" if the as
sessor values his property at more than
one-third what it would fetch at forced
sale, and will keep out all moneys and
itoms of portable value that he can, and
consider nimself perfectly justified. He
sttje5.With his conscience by saying,
"Everyone else does it; why should I be
so pauctillious." Of course to those
who dispute this and think we are too
sweeping in our assertion, we say you are
an exception; it wasn't you that was
meant, it was your neighbor. The result
is that the assessment rolls make us out
to be a state full of bankrupts, and a
commonwealth full of indigent people.
Our tax levies are high, necessarily high,
because of low valuation, and anyone
who wants to cheat is actually invited if
not compelled by the conditions as well
as the laws that regulate and surround
this whole matter, and after all, who is
swindled but the people themselves?
There is only one way of raising money
to support state and county governments,
courts of justice, public schools, etc.,
and it is something that the state popu
lation cannot dodge without injury to
themselves. Sometime ago one of our
Portland exchanges published a list of
taxpayers in Multnomah county which
would point a moral mid adorn a tale.
Men who were known to bo millionaires
were assessed at thirty thousand dollars,
and from the assessor's tax roll it would
appear that there was no bank, corpora
tion, society or individual in the metrop
olisof the Northwest that was worth
$100,000 in hard cash. But the man that
owned a little lot or was trying to pat up
a house to live in was not forgotten. If
his little place was worth $2.50J it was
assessed at 2,000, and thus things were
"equalized." It is just such equalizing
as that that creates trouble, and the man
ifest injustice of such favoritism cannot
fail to result badly. A man that has
$2,500 of property shouldn't grumble at
paying taxes on $2,0D0, provided all are
treated alike, but when he sees his neigh
bor who is worth a quarter of a million
taxed on $"9,00i), be can't help feeling
that that is wrjng, and when a man or
set of men get to feeling that and have
it rubbed into them every year the out
come is plain.
It is the same way in every line. The
San Francisco Bulletin would be cheap at
3150,000; Pickering and Fich pay $7,0W);
h t Alta is well worth $liO,O0Jit is as
sessed at less than $1.0 JO; Mike De Young
wouldn't take $203,000 for the Chrenicle:
it is assessed at $15,000. We take up
San Francisco to instance that it is not
solely in Oregon that the game goes on.
John Kosenfeld, the grain king, pays
$174.00 annual tax; Horace uavis. the
great flour merchant, pays $297; Wm,
Sharon, the bonanza senator, is assessed
on only $79,153; Peter Donahoo on $7,130.
In this way the big fish swallow up the
little ones.' The facts in the case are not
very complimentary to the honesty of
the men that dodge the assessor and
successfully elude the payment of the'r
just portion of publio expense.
That was a singularly inconsistent piece
of municipal legislation that our city
council performed laBt Tuesday night.
Sjmetime ago an ordinance was pas3ed
making it mandatory on any who
wanted a saloon license in Astoria to
give n jtice of his intention to make ap
plication, and pressribing certain forms
and modes of procedure, and that upon
proper compliance with all -that, the
council could in its discretion grant a
license. At the last meeting of the coun
cil the petition of Chas. Gratke was
read, his affidavit was submitted, his
bond duly executed and properly ap
proved accompanied the petition and
an ordinance was passed grant
ing him license to sell wine, malt and
spirituous liquors, etc for one year. Im
mediately after, in the regular order of
business, came a petition, bond, affidavit
and all that from Geo. Hill, all the pa
pers, and everything in the case being
exactly similar to Gratke's. By a vote
of three to two the council refused him a
license.
The Astobian always has been opposed
to Hill, and it is verv orobable always
will be, but it seems to us that such ac
tion on the part of the city council was
inconsistent, unreasonable and wholly
unjust. H Gratke or Smith or Brown or
Jones or anyone else who complied with
the conditions imposed naa a ngm to a
license, Hill certainly had. If on the
payment of $200 ayearthe city council
assumes the conceded right to give a man
permission to retail liquor, to be drank
on the premises, it cannot in justice" dis
criminate between persons. Hill's $200is
just as good as anybody else's. Such dis
crimination is not admissible. Presump
tion concerning what Hill might do or
? I'olltks-
J might not do, should bo no part of the
argument. If Hill violate the law let
him be puhisbeo; it ne nave women aooui
his place, or if he run a disorderly house
make him feel that the law shall be en
forced, but such action as that of the city
council last Tuesday night is unworthy
the dignity of a municipal body. It is at
once a concession and a confession. It
is a concession to personal feeling and a
confession of weakness.
"Whv does The Astobian say this con
cerning the man that tried to injure it?"
agoodui3uy will ask. Just because we
consider it is the only correct view
to take of the matter. By allowing
this thing to piss unnoticed, The Ab
tobian would njure itself more than the
enorts of a hundred such as Hill. There
ar6 times that a publio journal cannot
afford to be silent. It is our opinion that
the c;tv council cannot maintain the'po
sition it has assumed; that it cannot dis
criminate as between individuals; that it
has no option in the matter and that it
can in law no more refuse Hill's $230
than it can any other man's. This is the
point we make. The Astobiak would be
sorry to see Geo. Hill get a license, be
cause, judging by the past, his aim and
effort seem to be" against the best inter
ests of our city. Bat this is a question
that shuts out tho moral, economic or
ethical view of the matler. It is purely
a question of p2f30n.il right, and for
that precise reason personal feeling
should have nothing to da with the mat
ter, we must as a community taxe
thincs iust as thev are. The municipal
law allows a man that pays $200 a year
privilege to sell liquor, ilill asned that
lie be given the privilege; ho offered a
bond and surety that he would comply
with the law; the ordinance is powerful
enouch to compel" compliance with its
provisions; he was refused, and in re-
1 using mm me council raaue a njisiaxe,
and dodged a question that admits of no
shirking and that must be met. The
council can restrain; it cannot prohibit.
And, "talking of bunions, how's your
mother-in-law? ' Politics now comes to
the front, and a great deal that is done
and a great deal that isn't done is com
mitted or omitted with a view to political
effect. In a few days politics will "bile"
all over the state; the stewpans already
begin, to simmer. In our own county and
elsewhere the biennial saving of the
cjuutry and preventian of the offices gj
n begging lor applicants have already
began.
It is the fashion now and thon to sneer
at "politics,' and yet it sedins to us th?t
it is more tue lack of ability than a lack
of inclination tuat keeps a good many
men out of politics. Tnay won't became
they can't.
In a government like this it is the duty
of every intelligent man to interest hun
dblf in practical politics. It is the privi
lege of every vagabond and idler, every
Worthless adventurer, who, as native
born and twenty-one years of age, or
who, foreign born, has been five years
upon the soil, to go to the ballot box and
cast his vote for those who make, Inter
pol and execute our laws. It is the duty
of every intelligent, patriotic, and hon
est man to perform all the duties inci
dent to citizenship, to the end that only
good laws may be enacted, only- honor
able men may reach judicial position,
where they can interpet the law, and that
only honest, fearlesj, and sensible men
may reach executive position to admin
ister the law. It is a cowardly and scan
dalous thing for the press, the pulpit, or
the individual to endeavor to make it
appear that politics is anything other
than a duty demanded of the highest
patriotism, and alike honorable to the
most pious, the most learned, and the
most ambitions of oitizens. There are
only two kinds of p3litics: honest and
dishonest; honorab.e and dishonorable;
patriotic and selfish; politics for one's
country, and politics for one's self. There
should be no other standard for political
than fur personal onduet. The man in
professional, commercial or other em
ployment should have no higher or purer
code than the man who engages in poli
tics. It is just as Cowardly and wrong to
lie in the pulp.t or in the newspaper
office, to betray professional confidence,
or to steal in business, as it is to lie or
steal in politics, or steal in office, and no
more so. The man wuo will misrepre
sent, overreach, defraud, and lie in the
lowest political position will defraud, in
trigue, lie, and cheat in the highest posi
tion to which he may attain, and betray
the most sacred trust that may be im
posed upon him. It is to the honest politi
cian that the country is indebted for its
progress. Of this class were our early
fathers, who formed for us our constitu
tion, who moulded our organic laws, and
who shaped the institutions of our coun
try. Of this class were the men who
conducted our national affairs with suc
cess down to a period verging upon the
civil war. Of this class were the states
men and soldiers wh j carried us success
fully through that war, with Abraham
Lincoln at their head. There are no idi
ots in po'.itioa. There is no place in po
litical life for the man of dull
intellect. So, instead of classifying
politicians a3 honest men, knaves and
fools, they can be writtan as honest and
honorable men, knavish and selfish men.
There is a class who make. of politics a
bread-getting industry, who belong to
parties not for the purpose of doing oat
tlo for great principles, or who fight
under party banners for the advance
ment of human rights; camp-followers
who accompany the army, and when the
battlo rageswatch the conflict at a safe
distance, but who, when it is over, and
the danger is passed, are soon upon the
field like theoamp-folIowersatBonnock-ourn,
to lout tue dead and gather the
spoils of a victory they did not aid to
win. For the ditc:eet and prudent poli
tician; the conservative, non-committal
man, who follows, but never leads; wno
does party duty in obedience to partv
uiscip.ine, and never thinks; who, thin."
ing, never speaks; or who, speaking,
never acts; who has no opinions, no con
victions that make him dura assert bis
manhood, there can be little respect. For
the plausible, oily, popular man, who has
no enemies, and who is always available
as a candidate Tor office because he has
aroused no resentments, there must
bo a certain degree of contempt.
The man who has no ene-
mips deserves no friends. The
man who has never made a mistake, or
done wrong, is a man who never had the
courage to attempt to assert the right.
The man who has never slopped over is
like the empty bucket that has no con
tents to Bpill, and the man who can truly
say that he has changed no opinion,
makes the broad admission that he has
had no opinions to change. It is better
to be right to-day than of a mind with
yesterday. The man who has the cour
age to think is necessarily progressive.
He keeps pace with events. He keep3
abreast with the time. He changes with
conditions. He keeps on the level of his
surroundings. Wuen the Augean stab.es
were cleansed of their acoimulated filth
by the labor of Hercules, the dung of
oxen floated with the current of the
stream, It is the empty bottles and the
rotten apples that, drifting with the tide,

The bill to extend the bonded period on
whisky was killed n the houe of repre
sentatives Friday afternoon by the over
whelming vote of 185 to fc3. Sanator
elect Blackburn and ex-Speaker liandall
spoke to a full house and crowded gal
leries. Blackburn's speech was an elo
quent presentation of the misfortunes of
the whisky manufacturers, and Bandall's
was a brief exposition of the principles
that would bo violated in o ise the bill
passed. The enacting clause was then
struck from the bill. The vote is not
considered as in any way a test on the
tariff question, as many high t iriff men,
notably Eaton, of Connecticut, voted for
the bill, while many tariff reformers
voted against it. It is said that the de
feat results from a combination of two
classes, those who favor abolishing the
internal tax on whisky, and think if this
is done no necessity exists for extending
the bonded period, and those who objfet
to legislating at all for the whisky in

The prospect for lively times on this
river were never better that at the pres
ent time, says the Coqnille, Oregon, Her
ald. The fishing industry is no more an
experiment, and great preparations ore

cannery and fisheries will be run to their
utmost capacity, with a much larger force
of hands.
An intelligent Indian tells the Wasco
Sun that 'Walla Walla" means '-'little
water;" that "Wallula" was simplv a by
word; "Umatilla" signifies a junction or
coming together; "Tuta Wila" is the
name of a small stream running through
Umatilla reservation, and the term means
"thorn creek." A tradition is handed
down amons? the Indiana thut-Mt. Hnnd
and Hainier us6d to get mad at each
other and shoot fire and smoke and rocks
at each other. Doubtless those were
interesting battles:
Writing of the-prairie mounds in that
region, the Olympia Transcript says:
The highest and one of the largest heaps
that stood by the old Indian trail leading
from Nisqually to the Cowlitz tr iirie,and
now within the enclosure of the large
stock farm of Mr. Colvin, is there, bear
ing a slight deprtS3ion on the top, just
as natural as when mother nature fin
ished the job of its erection. This
mound became somewhat famous about
forty years since, by the circumstance
that Lieutenant Wilkes, of the U. S. ex
ploring expedition that viuted Puget
sound about taat time, with a party of
men equipped with picks and shovels to
determine tUfi oriain or nhiPft nf fcVin
erection of said heaps or moudds, and
an excavation was actually made for that
purpose in the large mound referred to.
It is rather remarkable that an intelli
gent officer of the U. S. Navy in 1SU,
ceuld have attributed to human agency
the formation of so many heaps covering
taousandsof acres in the vicinity of the
sound.
