TODAY'S- WEATHER. "Portland, Or., June 1. For Oregon and Washington: Continued fair weather. Local weather for the twenty-four h'.urg ending at 5 p. m., yesterday, ti rnlshed by the U. S. Department of A'iculture, weather bureau. Maximum temperature, 50 degrees. Minimum temperature, 48 degrees, l'erclpltatlon, .02 Inch. 'i'ota precipitation from July 1st, 1892, to date, 81.71 Inches. Excess of precipitation from July 1st 1892, to date, 8.18 Inches. UNFAIR ASSESSMENT. We are glad to see that the tax pul lers are aroused to the injustice of the high assessment In this county. The turn of $39,000, 'which Clatsop county pays for state taxes Is largely In ac cess of our fair proportion. It is note- worthy that the state board had to Increase the assessed value In twenty- one out of the thirty-one counties In this state. Judged by the rental or any other fulr standard, the valuation set on As torla property Is relatively far in ex cess of that put on Portland building loin and acreage. The time has come lor a change In the methods pursued here. LET US HAVE PEACE. It would be well for the country If llio tariff and currency could be taken out of polltlca We believe that the people would approve of the forming of a high commission composed of emi- nent men of all parties, for the purpose of framing a permanent plan for rals ing revenue and regulating the cur rency. The proposed commission might wisely devote six months to Inquiry and deliberation. Its scope might pro fltably be extended to the banking sys tem with the View of suggesting such changes In the national banking laws as would adapt them ta the changes connected with the payment of the public debt which now serves as the basis of circulation. Should the com jnlsHlon devise a wise, equitable policy, ln?d upon sound principles, It would confer almost as great benefits on the country as the convention that framed the federal constitution. The counry noeda repose. A leading protectionist merchant said to us: "I would rather permanent free trade than the uncer tainty which attends constant revis ion of the tariff." Vo believe enough patriotic men could be found to rise above party and do the work of the proposed commission so well that pub lic opinion would force congress to adopt Its suggestions. Less than ten years ago .the Inland Empire exported all the wheat which It sent abroad by way of the Columbia. That was the natural route which should have been able to defy nil com petitors, but owing chiefly to the lack of a railroad from Portland to Astoria, the Sound has acquired much of the wheat traffic. In the current wheat year, which begiui September 1, 1892, forty-three ships have sailed from the Sound with cargoea amounting to 2,450 793 centals. Thla Is a stubborn fact which Portland and all Oregon must take Into serlouB consideration. Prince Antolne, the husband of the Infanta Eulalle, appears to receive but little notice from the press or public. It might be borne In mind that he Is descended from the royal house of Bourbon, whleh, In Its day. was the friend of American freedom. The success of Mr. Croker's horses Might suggest that Tammany methods For the Next Thirty Dajs, To meec imperative demands, I will offer at such low prices on install ments, with easy payments, that have been adopted on the race-track. The chamber of commerce should ap point a special committee to report on the assessment question in all Its phases. Our city is feeling the evil effects of high taxes and high rents. The time for action has come. Those who thought that few Ameri cans would visit Europe this year, were away off on their calculations. Three thousand first-class passengers left New York for Europe on a slngl day last month. The nearer the democratic tariff bill, now being prepared. Is to free trade, the sooner the republican party will be returned to power by the people whose pockets will feel the change. There Is one consolation in the latest phase of the Hawaiian business Blount's acts, since he was appointed minister are at least constitutional which Is more than they were before, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

While the walks in the Public Garden were crowded yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge n knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to the ground. While waiting for a conveyance an officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was about 50 years of age, as to his name, address, and reason for wishing to end his life, but the man steadfastly refused to give any inior-1 mation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although weak from loss of blood it is probable he will recover. About 0 o'clock last night a hospital attendant trot a little information from him. He said lib name was Samuel D , and that he came some weeks ago from New Brunswick. The last few days ii head has felt queer, and he lias been wan dering about the city, not knowing which way to turn. What impelled him to commit his rash act he was unable to say. The above is the familiar hut terrible story of the results of mental derangement caused by overstrain of the nervous system. 'eoplo who have dizziness, headache or back ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or despondent feelings, are already well on the road which leads to insanity and suicide.
