When he takes his hand away the nail or key will begin again. In tho house at Salem last Thursday partly to relievo tho tedium of the day Geer moved that a committee be appoint ed to report mileage allowance of mem bers of the houso. Bourne, as a joke, moved that tho committee be instructed to make no allowance to those members who had accepted passes from the rail road companies. Veach. and a few others who had evidently paid their fare, were in favor of tho amended motion, but the whole matter was tabled, only nine mem bers voting for it. The discussion made a lively breeze for a few minutes. Hare's senate bill to fix tho time for circnit court sessions in this judicial district, was reported from tho judiciary com mittee, was amended so as to strike out tho May term in this oounty. and was passed under suspension of the rules. The amendment was made at the request of tho delegation from this county. THE nEMJEKT TRIAL. The trial of Chas. Herbert on the charge of killing Robert McDonald on the night of the 8th hist., began in tho circuit court yesterday morning. At half past two a jury was secured, consist ing of tho follewing: R. Christy, F. Motcalf, G. A. Nelson, J. W. Walker, J. T. Lacy, G. Watson, A. H. Webber, H. Wood, J. C. Davis, Chas. Stroma, Jno. Rodgers nnd Louis Hartwig. Shortly after the plastor began falling from the ceiling in the grand jury room and tho sheriff's office and the densely crowded court room was vacated in short order. The court adjourning to Liberty Hall, where an evening session was hold. Martin Carlson was the first witness called by tho prosecution. O. Benson was also summoned and gave testimony, after which Gust. Brandt, Dr. J.A.Ful ton. Dr. W. D. Baker, G. W. Rucker. Sheriff Boss, H. Thomson, Jas. Turk and C. H. Stockton were respectively sum moned on the stand. Liberty Hall was packed full, and tho utmost interest was taken in the pro ceedings. It was somewhat dramatic when H. Thomnson was nut on the st&nd and he unrolled certain bundles contain ing what he swore wero the dead man's clothes and the prosecution offered them in evidence. At nine o'clock a question arose as to the effect of the deposition maae by .Herbert, the point being wheth er a subsequent hops of his that he would recover would or would not vitiate the value of the deposition, which was argued until 10 o'clock, when the court directed Sheriff Boss to provide suitable sleeping accommodations for the jury and have them and the witnesses on hand to continue the case at nine o'clock this morning. Tho witnesses are kept separate and are not allowed to hear the testimony given by any of their number on the stand. By request of the court no report is made of the testimony given. IVolicc.

A large number of ladies and gentle men were present nt the Friday after noon exercises in Mrs. Martin's room in tho Court street school yesterday after noon. The main feature of the after noon was a composition contest, which was admirably participated in by several members of tho department. The idea was to write on tho home, with all that that good old English word implies. Tho matter was fully elaborated, subjects 'pertaining to tho home being divided among those who took part in tho con test. For instance, one took tho site, another, the building, a "third, the fur nishing, a fourth, the decorating, etc. Discussion of the subject embraced a wide field from the materials used in building the homo to the manner of re ceiving company in the completed edi fice. The compositions as read were of a high order of literary merit and evinced good taste and mature r judgment than would be naturally expected la young heads. A committee consisting of Mrs. I. E. Parker, Mrs. A. C. Kinney and Mr. E. C. Holden after careful deliberation decided that the following wero entitled to spe cial mentien: Miss Minnie Brodie "Plain Cooking" Miss Maud Saffarans "The Kitchen and Dishwashing" Miss Josie Bryce "Hospitality in the Houao" Mis3 Katie MoKean "Children" Ross Clinton "The House." The subjects were all practical ones nnd were well handled. An excellent composition on the sub- i'ect of "Mending was read by Miss linnie Sherman and would htr been specially noticed by the judges but for the fact that she is not now on the school roll. The reading of the essays was in terspersed with short declamations and sosgs by the school, followed by remarks from several of the visitors. It is always a source of encouragement to pupils and teachers to havo interest manifested by the patrons of tho school. In one sense such visits are nn aid to the efficiency of tho school and the teachers extend a oor dial invitation to tho citizens to visit the school, that they may lend the aid of their occasional presence to the work of educating the child, which is rightly the joint labor of parent and teacher.

Enrron Astebiax: It would seem from your editorial this morning that the members of tho city council havo forwarded a false statement to Salem at least one thatis calculated to create false impressions. The council say the bill of the chamber of commerce was not submitted to the people nor their representatives. The chamber of commerce has been in exist ence eight or ten years. It is composed of over forty members residents of As toria, among whom is ono member of tho council. The council is composed of only six memberc JWhich body, then, most fully represents the people of Astoria? In which body is there the greatest num ber", -f the people's representatives? Again, the chamber did not act within it self. On the suggestions of citizons through your paper and otherwise, it took up the consideration of amendments to the city charter for the purpose of pro moting the peace; quiet and good gov ernment of the city; to lessen taxation so that capital .could be induced to come to the city. The council met. A resolution was carried naming a number of persons to act upon a committee to proposo amend ments. A portion of those persons be longed to the chamber of commerce land the remainder were taken from the citi zens who did not belong to the chamber. The proposed changes wero offered and appeared in Thh Astobiah next day. Tho committee met and made a report, those not members of the chamber taking part as well as the members. The substance of the report again appeared in The As Toaiix. The chanbor again met, the re port was read and by sections voted upon and adopted. A week or two thereafter the bill was engrossed and forwarded, the whole then appearing in full in Tub Astoxiam. On the other hand who knows what the six counciimen have been doing? Nothing has ever appeared in print as to what amendments they proposed and yet it would seem tkey have sent up a bran new charter. Do they proposo toldo away with the present one entirely? Ought not the people to know what it contains? Is it only necessary for six men to know what it is? Those men were chosen to conduct the affairs of the city under tho present charter. What business havo they to ask the legislature to change it? No such issue was made in the city election. At citizens they have the same rights of other citizens but they have no right to prostitute their offico for such pur poses. It would seem, Mr. Editor, from yonr article that the principal amendment is to enforce certain ordinances now on the city statute books which are unconstitu tional, i. o., not in accordance with the provisions of tho charter. Is it necessary to repeal the present charter and get up aa entire aew one in order to enforce some illegal ordinance? Why not ask for an .enabling act to eaforee those void ordinances and leave the oaarter alone? These counciimen were chosen to administer the city affairs under the present charter, not in viola tion ef it. What right havo they to pass illegal ordinances and then privately try to get the legislature to legalize them without the people knowing anything about it? Who outside of these select six know what ordinances are to be vital ized by the amendments they propose? The powers of the council are so great now that they can rob the people and in stead of being increased they should rather be curtailed. Tho amendment proposed by the chamber of commerce is not to take effect for one year, yet in that short time if the sivae city management as the past shall bo carried on, property owners will be so nearly bankrupt that neither J. K. Wirt nor any other laboring man will bo able to got a day's work in the city. Within the last year property in this city has depreciated fifty per cent and the bottom is sot yet reached, unless the present speed down hill can be checked. Not A Couxcn.MAN. STKASER SCHEDULE.

REPRESENTATIVE LBIXEXlTEBF.It'S VIEWS. In an interview with n representative of the Portland Ncics last Thursday, on the matter of the mortgage tax law. Hon. C. Leinenweber said: "Whenover wo legislate against money we retard general prosperity and prevent tho interest of foreign capital in manu facturing enterprises, which aro zo much needed. It is clearly in the interest of our prosperity to encourage homo manu factories. Wo havo the raw material to enable us to successfully compete with domestic and foreign imports. But un less our methods of taxation are such as to admit of foreign capital, we cannot reasonably look to the promotion of our homo industries. I, myself, know of sev eral branches of business each employ ing a large number of men. Those need nothing but the foreign capital mentioned which would be obtained nt a low rate of interest, were it not for the mortgage tar law. It is to be regretted that the pres ent sectional feeling exists, in some de gree, in tho interests of the state since our interests aro inaeniicai. ircruuiuy nothing could further the farming inter ests more than by tho building up of manufactories. Every dollar earned would almost immediately be placed in circulation again. All farm produce would assume a standard value. Where as, if it has to be imported, it will always bo subject to fluctuations. While there was just cause for complaint of the former manner of taxation, it cannot be denied that tho mortgage tax law com pletely failed to adjust tho existing evil, sinco it went to tho other extreme, with out furnishinc anvcorresnondinji beneht. Money is the medium of exchange, and whatever checks it by legislation, must be felt m all brandies. Jlen witu capi tal want to employ it, for without being employed it ceases to bo remunerative. "Whence, I claim, that while unemployed, those will feel it the most aro tho labor ers. Thereby deprived, it cuts on tueir daily support. Take any manufacturing city in any state, and you will find a prosperous and thriving community. Take the same city, and close tho doors of the factories, and tho first effect will be upon its operatives; next to its whole sale and retail business, tho farmer who supplies such a community, will also feel it immediately. He is told by the mer chant and manufacturer that no more produce is wanted. Tho bill on assess ment now beforo tho legislature can be so framed as to prohibit tho existing evil. An equitable assessment lnw, covering as nearly as possible that of 1882 and 1634. is also needed. For tho abovo reasons I hopo tho mortgage tax law will be re pealed in full." A Run ou n.
