The office of collector of internal revenue for the district of Oregon, which includes Washington, Idaho and Alaska, has been abolished, and the district is merged into the California office. This lets Henry Blackmail out of a fat office, which he has held little over a year. As he has been ordered to report in Washington it is likely the admin istration will provide for him. All internal revenue business for the Pacific states will have to be done in San Francisco.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE MAIN- J TAINED. A Ringing Message From Cleveland on the Venezuelan Question. Tuesday President Cleveland sent to congress a message on the reply of Great Britian in the Venezuelan dispute. The reply is embodied in two communications addressed by the British prime minister to Sir Julian Paunceforti, British ambassador. The president savs: "It will be seen that one of these communications is devoted exclusively to observations upon the Monroe doctrine, and claims that in the present instance a new and strange extension and develop ment of this doctrine is insisted on by the United States, and that the reasons iustifving an appeal to the dectrino enunciated by President Monroe are generally inapplicable to the state of things in which we live at the present day, and especi ally inapplicable to the controversy involving the boundary line be tween Great Britian and Venezue la. "Without attempting extended arguments to reply to these posi tions." the president eays, "it may not be amiss to suggest that the dostrine upon which we stand is strong and sound, because its en forcement is important to our Doun try and safety, as a nation and es sential to tbe integrity ot our tree institutions and the tranquil main , tenance of our distinctive form of government. It was intended to apply to every stage of our national life and cannot become aosoieie while our republic endures. That we should not seek to apply the Monroe doctrine to the pending dispute becaie it does not embody any principle of international law is' in my opinion erroneous. "This government has proposed to the government of Ureat .Britian to resort to arbitration as the proper means of settling the ques tion. It will be seen from the cor respondence herewith submitted that this proposition has been de clined by the government upon grounds which, under the circum stances, seem to be far irom satis factory. The course to be pursued by this government, in view of the present condition, does not appear to admit of serious doubt. Noth ing remains but to accept the situa tion, to recognize its plain require ments and deal with it accordingly. The dispute has reached such a stage as to make it now incumbent upon the United States to take measures to determine with suf ficient certainty for its justification what is the true divisional. In order that Buch an examination should be prosecuted in a thorough and satisfactory manner, I suggest that congress make adequate ap propriation for the expenses of a commission to be appointed by the executive who shall make the nec essary investigation and report up on the matter with the least pos sible delay. When such a report is made and accepted it will, in my opinion, be the duty of the United States to resist, by every means in its power, as a willful ag gression unto its rights and inter est, the appropriation by Great Britian of any lands or exercise" governmental jurisdiction over any territory which, after investigation, we have determined of right be longs to Venezuela. In making these recommendations, I am fully alive to the responsibility incurred and keenly tealize all the conse quences that may follow." There's no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows supine submission to wrong and injustice ar.d consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which is shielded and de fended the people's safety and great ness."

Inasmuch as much interest is be ing manifested in the 'question as to whether or not a homesteader is permitted to cut timber and remove the same from the tract embraced in kis entry, and as an erroneous impression is going abroad as to just what the law , is on he sub ject, we have thought it a matter of justice to those concerned, to state the rule applicable to such cases. Homesteaders will find the same printed in red ink upon the margin of the duplicate receipts is sued by the land office officials, and it is a follows: .. ''Timber land embraced in a homestead, of other entry not con summated, ikty be cleared in order to cultivate wie lind and improve the premisesut for no other pur pose. If, "after cleaning the land for cultivation, there remains more there is no objection to the tettler flisnnsinir of the same. But the question whether the land is being cleaned for ita timber for legitimate purposes is,a question of facts which is liable to be raised at any time. If theStimber is cut and re moved for any other purpose it will subject the entry to cancella tion, and the person who cut it will be liable to civil suit, for the value of feaid! timber, and also to criminal prosecution under Section 2,451 of the Revised Statutes. This has been the law of the case for many years and is the law now, and persons interested should act accordingly. B. F. Wilson, Register, : J. II. Bobbins, Receiver. 1 ASSESSMENT HOLL COMPLETE.
