ASTORIA, OREGON:

THE COMING LEGISLATIVE SES
SION. The Oregon legislature meets on
the 5th of next month. About the
first thing in order after organizing
trill be to elect a United State3 sena
tor. By the revised statutes of the
"United States, passed in 1874, the
legislature of each state is directed
to choose senators as therein -prescribed,
by xvca voce vote of the joint
assembly of both houses of the legis
lature on the second Tuesday after
the meeting and organization thereof.
Hence the election of Senator Sla
ter's successor will be on the 13th of
January, 1835. "Who that gentleman
may be is yet undetermined, and be
yond" the fact that he will be a Re
publican and a resident of Portland,
we in this section of the state know
very little as to the candidacy of the
man "who will represent Oregon for
six years in the upper house.
After the election of Mr. Hirsch, or
Mr. George, or whoever else it may
be, the real business of the session
will begin. There is not a great deal
of actual work to do. The mortgage
tax law needs repealing, unless,
indeed, it is desired to still further
drive capital out of the country in
an abortive attempt to prevent water
from seeking its leveL The law ex
empting indebtednesses wants also to
be looked into. As the matter now
stands the more a man owes the bet
ter off he is. The original idea and
intent of the law was, doubtless, good,
but its practical workings makes a
farce of the thing. Jones, in Astoria,
is worth $20,000; 15,000 of tLis
amonnt is secnred to San Francisco
creditors by notes; along comes the
assessor with his blank "returnable
in ten days." It is only a work of a
little more than ten minutes to tele
graphically transfer that San Fran
cisco debt to Portland agents of the
San Francisco house, and so, presto!
the debt is now "within the state,1
Jones puts down his property and
goods at 15,000; "indebtedness with
in the state." $15,000 amount to be
assessed in Clatsop county $000,000.
It is only necessary to indicate that
unless the Multnomah and Clatsop
assessors are on the lookout, the $15,-
000 "owing in Portland" will be so
juggled that by the time the Portland
assessment is made out the indebted
ness ij either transferred to some
other place in the state or else back
to San Francisco, thus demonstrating
the ease with which the law may be
evaded, and is, in thousands of cases
every year.
The long deferred matter of proper
legislative appropriation in our coun
ty also should have a hearing. It is
ridiculous that the second city in
the state situated in a county des
tined to be second to none other in
the commonwealth, should be longer
put off with such a county as Til
lamook or Columbia. Nothing con
nects us with either county but a
legislative enactment and a trail, and
we have les-s intercourse or common
interest with our neighboring coun
ties than, with "Wasco or Marion.
One-half of a representative and one-
third of a senator is our meager
share. We hope that the knowledge
of this injustice will put backbone
enough into our legislators and suf
ficient sense of justice in their fellow
representatives to give us in '85 what
was our due in '80.
E2PBE3ENTATrV2 EoBixsox of New
York has prepared -a resolution which
which he will offer in congress Mon
day providing for a return to the sim
plicity of inaugural ceremonies as
practiced by Jefferson. It prohibits
the erection of triumphal arches and
display of bayonets in "Washington
on inauguration day, and provides
that the chief justice shall call upon
the president-oloct and accompany
him either on foot or in a plain car
riage, drawn by not more than two
horses and without decorations or
livery, to the capitol, where he shall
take tho oath and address such citi
zens as may be there to hear him.
A beotpbocaii agreement has been
entered into between tho United
States and Mexico, whereby the pur
suit of hostile Indians can be con
tinued in either country.
A cable special to the New York
Times says that never since the close
of the civil war in America have there
bten so many impecunious Americans
in London as now.
Stephen Gboveb Cboweiii,, a
wealthy resident of Bloomfield, N. J.,
died November 19. He was named
after his grandfather, Stephen Gro
rer, after whom President-elect Cleve
land was named.
