The di-mocrntu have lost nirwing
ham, Ak, la & local election. If the
republican of Alabama will ke-j
snuarely on the national platform of
the party, remark an eastern ex
change, they will have a companion
for the new governor of Tennessee In
the next ulwtion.
The low price of cotton 1a the cause

I ntrer-toll believes In the doctrinw of
an old fashioned brimstone hell.
This Is true, for more than tlve hun
dred people hoard him say in a lec
ture a little while ago, that he would
"believe in a hell when Missouri
went republican." Missouri is there,
and Bob must keep his word.
It would be a movement In the
right direction if the state furnished
the text books to those not able to
purchase them. Thus advised an
exchange apparently not knowing
that the directors in each district al

means, though, that the state should
publish a scries, then that Is differ

protecting and governing society, and
not in thh manufacturing business.
The Connecticut supreme court has
permitted an appeal by the state In a
murder case, where the Jury returned
a verdict of "not guilty," notwith
standing the constitutional provision
that a man may not be put in Jeopardy
twice for the same offence. The court
holds that an error of the lower
tribunal in excluding certain evi
dence which might have changed the
result so vitiated its proceedings that
the trial stands uncomplete, and the
constitutional provision, therefore,
does not apply. This, it would aeem,
is a reasonable view to take of the
matter. It has always seemed one
sided Justice to allow the defense a
right of appeal while the state has
lieen barred.
s5evTI papers have receatly, and
it runs in mind now thatione of them
is the Salem Statesman, have dog
matically asserted that it Is neces
sary to return Mr. Dolph to the sen
ate, that the passage of tke railroad
html grant forfeiture bills may be
assured. All Uie while the people
have wondered how it coald be that
a corporation attorney would dili
gently work and vote measure that
are generally understood to be op
posed to the interest of his clients,
the corporations, and now it is still
more difficult to reconcile the fcrego
jng mentioned statement of Mr,
Dolph orpins with the aewi para
graph telegraphed from Washington
on Tuesday last, where it Is stated
Mr. Dolph reported adversely on the
pitftsnge of the forfeiture bill. When
it was pnesible to favor the bill for
luncomb, why, Mr. Dolph baneom
sl, hut after all, the suspicions of the
people are shown to he well founded.
.Speaking of the several olBoe to
be tilled in the coming Irgfctelare
and the qualifications reqaired, the
Salem Statesman of a recoart date has
this to sity In rpard to mvmUmg clerk
in the house: "In caMaectMu with
the foregoing, it may k that

had considerable newspaper expert.
4'nce and is up to snuff generally
Washington county Is one of the
strongholds of republicanism ami
the Hughes family have done much
to keep it so, consequently Oeorge
has a right to ask the place." Mr.
Hughes has decided to be an appll
cant for the place of reading clerk.
His fitness for the position is un
questioned and what the Statesman
says of his worth as a clttxen and a
party man Is not a whit overdrawn
Kither house can not get a better
clerk let it hunt the state over. For
the sake of the prompt dispatch of
tuines, the IsoKPEMorxT hope
the house will install Mr. UugUes.
STILL WAST PATRIOTISM.
Some months ago the statement
was made that democrats lacked pat
riotism and up to this time there is
nothing to Indicate that the assertion
was not founded In fact. Indeed,
additional evidence la accumulating
which sroea to prove tBat what was
true then It still true. The senate,
now democratic, sees power depart
ing, hence the majority is now wil
linar to sacrifice the Interest of the
country for party gain. Rather than
modify the rules so as to limit the
lebate of the fllllbusterlng few, they
sacrifice those laws and that celerity
of legislation that tends to restore
confidence In the country. The ma
jority set that the republican will
be In power soon, hence they will do
nothinir that has for Its object the
control of the objectors. Hill with
all his faults either from policy or an
honest purpose Li more patriotic.
Tuesday be addressed the senate at
length, urging the adoption of rules
that would facilitate the transaction
of public business. Such rules ought
not to be necessary, but they are,
where a party shapes all 1U acts to
suit the dictates of a caucus. 7 bus,
individual responsibility la shifted to
the party and its caucus. Such
things ought not to be, and until
men rise above a party clique the
country will not best be served.
WATER SYSTEMS.
Lately several of our smaller towns
have been studying the question of
uipplylug their respective corpora
tion with a water system. They look
st all the plants in operation, and
finally select the gravity system as
being the one par excellence to be de
sired. This Is true, provided : r irst,
for the proper working of the gravity
system there must be an abundant
supply of water at all times, and for
all emergencies. When a tire is rag
ing, citizens can ill afford to wait for
a head of water to accumulate, the
supply, too, must be beyond the pos
sibility of contamination. New
York City had to buy the whoIeCro-
ton river basin and remove the barns
and other sources of contamination
For Portland, the Cascade reserva
tion was made so as to keep Bull
Run in wild canyon. Next the
water rlarhts alonz the lower course
of the supply must be taken Into the
expense account, and finally the pi pes
conveying the water must be large
enough. Milton, Umatilla county, a
town not as large as Hillsboro, has a
good water supply by the gravity
system, but it has the Walla Walla
river to draw from and Its pipes till
near the town limits are a foot In
diameter. Pendleton has the Uma
tilla river, but pumps its water Into
reservoir on a bill just outside of
the city and thus avoids the neces-
ity of a long pi pe line of large di
mensions. A paragraph in an ex
change mentions the fact that Mc-
Minnville is considering the gravity
system through a 4-inch plpo five or
six miles long. If that is true and
the city should lay it, remorse will
come with the first great fire. In
deed, friction in that pipe would be
so great that thare would be no pres
sure within the city for Are purposes.
N'ewberg, la the same county,
as some fine springs within
two or three miles or town,
but more than a tobacco pipe-
stem is required to de
liver the water to a burning building,
which Is the time when It Is most
needed.
Our neighbors at Forest drove
should measure their proposed sup
ply creeks carefully, and that, too, in
the dry season, to see first, If the sup
ply Is there, and second, notice
whether there is a likelihood of con
tamination, and last, see that the
pipes are large enough to deliver
water through from four to six fire
doiuUw al the same time. At Hills
boro here, we wwld not got a supply
ply for a gravity system. Hence we
resorted to deep wells and the steam
pump. And our water rates are no
greater than lo Portland, where the
gravity system is to supply the
demand, and the purity of the water
is unsurpassed.
The principle is the same as that
involved in the attempt to tax mort
gages. Oregonlan. The authority
quoUd seeks to convey the Idea that
there was a lime when mortgages
were not taxed, but that an attempt
was made to lay such a tax, but fail
ed. In txutb, mortgages were never
taxed aud there was never an attempt
made to tax them. But the notes
those instruments secure, have, in
this state, always been liable to taxa
tion and are now, and the only reason
why they ever, In any Instance, es
caped taxation is because the holders,
through fraud and perjury, concealed
them from the assesror. The so-cnll
ed mortgage tax law, which was on
our law dook ror ten yaars, was a
good measure, because it discovered
property and compelled note-holders
to tell the truth.

breath if Japan should sail her fleet
into Yang-bavKleog river and attack

Ilussians upou her. Japan at the

so before, but is now threatening
such a campaign for the reason the
Shanghai arsenal is supplying the
Chinese with arms. It is au anomaly

TUB AKMESlAX OCTXACtES,
The United States, after all, will
take no iart In the Investigation of
the Armenian outrages. Finding
that the limitations Imposed by Pres
ident Cleveland upou the functions of
the United States Consul, Jewett,
were such as to prcveut his joint
action with the representatives of the
other Powers, the Sultan has with
drawn his Invitation to the United
States to appoint a commissioner, and
consequently Mr. Jewett's appoint
ment lapses. In deference to the re
ligious sentiment of the country, as
voiced by an incredible number of
petitions and resolutions of mass
meetings and private communica
tions from respectable citizens, the
president decided to allow Mr. Jew
ett to Investigate and report upon the
actual state of the christians In Ar
menia, but In doing so he felt obliged
in order to make it plain to the
Powers of Europe that he had no In
tention of intruding upon their do
main, to await a request from the
Sultan, backed by one of the signa
tory Powers. As an extra precaution
airalnst Involving the United States
In any European disagreements that
might follow the Investigation, Mr.
Jewett was Instructed to make an In
dependent inquiry and report only to
the State Department. These last
restrictions were apparently unpalata
ble te the Porte, and so, by the with
drawal of Its invitation, Mr. Jewett's
appointment is cancelled. Turkey
evidently wants no Investigation, un
less she, by a majority of the com
mittee, can control the report. Want
of sincerity has always been a charac
teristic of the Sick Man.
'lllR CARLISLE PLAN.
The San Francisco Bulletin thus
describe the new banking scheme,
formulated by the administration :
Secretary Carlisle's new scheme of
finance seems to be the Issue of cir
culating notes to the amount of 175
oany bank which deposits $30 In
greenbacks In the treasury. The dif
ference between the H0 and the $75
is the repose on the capital stock
which may be formed by a few per
sons el vina- notes to each other for
the amount. Stripped ot all the
cumbersome details this appears to
be what Mr. Carlisle proposes to do
for the reconstruction of the banking
system of the country. He assumes
that his scheme will give greater
elasticity to the currency. There
cannot be much doubt that It would
be elastic In the matter of expansion.
The temptation to got $73 for $30
would be a great one, especially as
the only drag in the o juration would
be an easily manipulated capital
stock. Practically outside of the $30
leposjted (nothing will be required
under Mr. Carlisle's proposition to go
into the banking business, but a big
plate glass window with the legend
inscribed thereon in glittering letters:
"Prepared to receive deposits." The
secretary disclaims the Idea that be
proposes to let loose the wildcat of
banking of the old days once more.
But his creation bears a suspicious
resemblance to it. Beyond question
it is cross roads banking that Ls not
deserving of serious criticism.
The farther we get away from the
notion that gold and silver are the
only true currency and that paper
based thereon can take on no hlghee
form than an order for so much
specie, the greater will be the finan
cial troubles and confusion before us.
What cbanoe there ls for the passage
of this project or any of those of cog
nate character now before the public,
no one can ten. Uui we have in
power a party that has lost its head
and a congress which for the short
period remaining to it may beset
down as a bull In a China shop.
Having disorganized the industries of
the country, the democracy may
wind up its wild reign by throwing
itai finances into disorder. The afflic
tions that IP Is bringing on ua are
hard to bear, but there is po help for
them MO til the allotted time expires.
lu auothof column appears a few
paragraphs from the American Agri
culturist on irrigation schemes, that
are worthy of consideration. That
veteran has not been thoroughly
soaked with water bonds and seems
to be almost, If not quite, water
proof. Yet there seems toward the
last of the article a place where there
may be a seep for moisture. Irriga
tion schemes, like all other ventures
requiring great capital, ought to be
private enterprise and while the
state ought to have full and complete
supervision, it ought not to have
owperwbip therein. The state may
properly donate aid to an experi
ment but may not own stocky ex
pecting revenue therefrom, i - The
only excuse for asking the state to
engage In manufacturing or In other
ventures of a cognate character ls
that it can furnish the product to the
consumer for less money than a pri
vate individual. This Is the theory,
but It fails In practice.
L. i... . rim
Our currency is in a shape bad
enough now, but if Carlisle's "reason
ably safe" plan ls adopted no one
will know "where he Is at." The
Alabama legislature is maturing a
law that will permit state banks to
Issue currency on local bonds up to
their face value, and to make loans
on real estate security. The wild
cat and ml dog banks of the 'SO's
would not be a circumstance.
IIUI)JII.J)J-HJ1
The objection to the Bland bank
ing plan is that It does not permit
the government to go out of the bus
iness. What ls now clearly seen to
be desirable Is that the government
shall not be required to keep a re
serve fund lor the redemption of
United States currency.

THE JTDet'
If the report of the Oregonlan as to
the work of the committee of county
Judges who have met in Portland to
determine what legislation is neces
sary to relieve the strain upon the
taxpayers of Oregon Is an indication
of the measure of their ability to do
the work proposed, I am afraid that
the proposed relief will be a burden.
The proposition that the payment
of taxes with county warrants ls a
"bad system", la the first declaration
I have heard that to allow a man to
pay the bills he owes you with your
paper wss objectionable and a loss to
him. The pretense that such per
mission depreciates the value of the
warrants Is simply nonsense and Is
not creditable to the intelligence of
the ones making the charge. They
might with equal reason say that It
would depreciate the value of a note
of the Hillsboro bank If the cashier
refused to accept it In paying a claim
in favor of the bank. These county
Judges must know that the fact that
the refusal to take county warrants
for even a part of the taxes depreci
ates their value, and that this tact
Induces persons to sell their warrants.
received by them In many Instances
for services for the county, at a dis
count. The intimation that tax col
lectors under the present law would
buy up county warrants at a discount
and substitute them for the cash paid
In, Is scarcely probable with the
present law forbidding the purchase
by such officers of county warrants
at a discount. I. am unable to say
what the practice Is in other couutles
but I venture the assertion that
county officers of Washington county
purchase no orders at less than their
face value; this they may sometimes
do as an accommodation. If this "leg
islative committee" of county Judges
know of such action on the part of
county officers of their respective
counties, they would do well to en
force the law against them If the law
is sufficient, and if not sufficient use
some of its leisure time in recom
mending more effective laws to pre
vent such abuse.
In the m itter of assessments, the
committee taking warning from the
bungling work of the former self-
elected committees, that were in
a great measure responsible for the
grossly Inequitable changes in the
assessment laws by the last legisla
ture, or endorsing such changes;
has decided, nut to prepare
any legislative bill. If this indicates
that a majority of this committee
favor the present law with exception
hereinafter," the people should con
gratulate themselves on the fact that
it has no right to make laws.
The recommendation or tnls com
mittee, that the law should be
changed so as to "provide for the as
sessment qf all real property in its
smallest legal subdivision, irrespec
tive of owners" ls so utterly Imprac
ticable that the only wonder is that
thore are five county Judges in the
state of Oregon who would venture
to recommend such change.
Jf by legal subdivisions is meant
the original subdivisions made by the
government, these divisions are so
divided up in ownership that such a
change In the law would be imprac
ticable, If by such expression la
meant the different tracts, as owned
at the time of the assessment, the
law already, makes such provisions,
and the proper remedy for the failure
to comply with it, would be to affix a
proper penalty for such failures. The
most serious point in this recommen
dation, aside from its ignoring the
inequality of the present law, is the
proposition to make the assessment,
Irrespective of the owners," If this
means anything, it means that the
names of owners of real estate shall
not appear on the assessment rolls.
After the various counties of Oregon,
at an expense of thousands of dollars,
have provided themselves with pres
ent ownership books aud maps, that,
with a small annual outlay, may be
kept up, the whole of this exense
must be practically lost to give some
theorizing tinkers in matters that
they evidently know but little about,

giving the names in alphabetical
reduced to the minimum, and
order Is the key to the whole matter,
so far as convenience is concerned
How under this proposed plan will
the personal property be listed f To
the owners ? If so, why not the real
property? It ls really the Initiation
Of thechaDge In taxation proposed
bv a class who hold that the tax ls
against the property and not against
the owner of It, a theory that in the
end looks to the;coliectlon of taxes
from "taneible" property and the
absolute exemption of all the
property that the same theorists des
ignate as "intangible." The neglect
of the law makers to provide the
remedy that will prevent the con
cealment of this "Intangible" proper
ty ,ls one of the crimes connected
with Oregon legislation that ls crush
ing the life out of the farmers aud
owners of small holdings in the
towns aud cities of the state.
The committee appears to have
organized more for the purpose of
Increasing the cost of carrying on the
government than for anything else,
if we may judge by Its sympathy for
the starving office holders of the
state. Increase of salaries Is the
remedy proposed for the hard times
under which they are laboring.
Nothing proposed to help the farmer,
laborer or mechanic, whose Income
has been by the present financial
panic reduced more than orahalf.
Salaries of state and county officers
were fixed in good times and have
been for years a sufficient induce
ment to prompt office seekers to
struggle for these position. No
one rorced them to accept them.
The pay was satisfactory then; now,
when the people are ground down by
the changes In values and when these
officers' salaries will purchase twice
as much of the necessaries of life as
formerly, why should they be in
creased? If they don't want the
positions let them, step, down and
out the chances are that other per
sons as well qualified may be found
to fill their places, eveu at those
starvation salaries. But this com
mittee in the Interest ot economy are
after those persons who lu many
cases are unwillingly forced to leave
their business and homes to give evi
dence in state cases. Ther proposi
tion is that the limit for nun-pay-went
of fees shall he extended from
two to four miles. Why not provide
that officers shall, unless required to
travel four miles In the execution of
the duties of their offices, be required
to perform their duties without
charge.
This proposition, however, could
hardly be expected from a committee
made up of officers.
We need not be suprlsed at the
proposed change in the law for sale
of property for delinquent taxes.
There is nothing iu the interest of
the collector of taxes, who works on
a salary, that would make a levy on
the property to be wjlj desirable.
The less he can do for the salary the
better lor him. The notice to the
owner of the projerty Is a small
matter. With the law changed asj
proposed, making the aasessmeut by
legal subdivious "irrespective of own
ers," it might, however, be some
advantage to have notices placed
upon the land, as in other cases of
sales by order of court. It sueius to
be a case of cutting down the work of
the officer instead of his pay.
If the services of an assessor's com
mittee or a sheriff's committee can be
secured to press their especial theories
on the Incoming legislature, there is a
possibility that it will not be an
unmixed evil if it shall speud the
whole of the session in the electiou of
a U. S. senator. If the legislature Is
to be governed bv these self-annolnt
,dvi9er, the only hope of the tax-
ridden people is to look to Lord for
deliverance. TapayJH.
