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

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

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.

Attempt at Suicide.
It Might Hare Been Prevented.
From the Boston Post.
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.
