Lebanon Express. H. Y. K1RKPATRICK, Editor and - Proprietor TARIFF A TAX. The Oregouian sometimes forgets itself and lets the cat out of the bag. In its issue of the 28th, it has a very sensible article on the tariff. It admits that the tariff is a tax, and says that it is unwise to raise too .much revenue, for the raising of it would .be but "in creased taxation." It does not now intimate that "the foreigner pays the tariff." It suggests that the tariff Bhould be arranged on scien tific principles, as the people would resent too marked favoritism to trusts 4C. The "science" to be used means that the people must be "scientifically" swindled, so that they will not know when they are hurt. The article pleads for a moderate and apparently equitable tariff, but the animus of the plea is not that the great masses of the people may be bene fitted, but that they may not know that they have been taxed - to build up favored monopolies. This is not the honest advice of a great newspaper, but is the plausible plea of an unscrupulous corpora tion attorney which is the true status of the Oregouian. Russia is putting forth an effort leading to an agreemeut between the principal wheat producing countries of the world, to fix price on wheft which will be uni formily through various seasons of overproduction and unsatisfactory crops, caused by drouth or con tinued rain, and thus make the principal grain staple upon which three millionsof consumers depend for food, almost as unchangeable in value as gold itself boa become. This would -enable the producer, in the event of an unusually large crop, to store his wheat and obtain thereon a loan that would tide him over until wheat was in de mand in the world's market, when he would get a full and fair price for it. Ex. The commissioner geheral of immigration, in his annual report shows that during the last fiscal year the arrival of immigrants in this country aggregated 343,26(5, or which 310,4(18 were landed and the remainder debarred and deported at the expense of the various steamship lines by which they came.' The statistics .at hand, the commissioner general states, "do not justify the conclusion that our alien population is growing in un due proportions." Review: Roseburg will have a creamery in active operation by the first of the new year. This will be our first achievement for the year '97 and we should not quit at that. The pushing to com pletion nf the S 'Febu-g and Coos bay railmal would unt be bad to fin. sh up the war with. The Interior department esti. ma'es it will require $7,000,000 to take (.are of the red men this year. Th 8 is an increase of $1,000,000. The increase it due to the policy adopted by the last legislature to abolish contract Indian schools tnd place all the Indian schools under the government control. Tacoma is justly pluming her self with a new bit of raiment. That city's p istoffice now stands second among the United States offices in the number of mail pack ages handled and the vilue of the The drouth still .continues in India although it is not as bad in some districts as was first report ed. According to the latest re ports, over ,. 120,000 men are employed on relief work. The Memphis Appeal says: We have been licked, but we shall not blubber about it.

They consulted all the afternoon and about four o'clock Mr. Kellers re narked that ho was very hudgry and .aegaated dinner. The Jud:o said that was n cnoil sufj ostton, but Insisted on poln.?' to a res aurant tor dinner, to which Mr. Boilers consented. Five o'clock arrived and , jollers grew Impatient "I'm very hungry, Judge." said ho; " let's get that, dinner." "All right, Dave," was tho Judge's roply, "sot ma my hat and come on." The twain-atartcd out toether, the Judgo having hold of Mr. Hollers' arm, talking all along about the enso they were engaged on. Sown Market street they walked until they came to the railroad. I dont see any restaurant here," said Mr. Sellers. " Must be on the other Bldo, Dave," said the Judge, looking about him. They crossed Market street and walked up as tor as Third, halting on the Telegram corner. "Well, Judge," aald Mr. Sellers, "whero U iUt restaurantr I'm very hungry." "I dcclsrj I didn't see It," replied the Judge; "oil, now I know whore It is. Up this way," and he led Mr. Sellers up Third street. They wit on and on until they got to Fine, waea Mr. Sellera again broke forth: "Come, Judge, produce that restaur ant. I'm very hungry, and this delay Is positively annoying !" "Hold rn, Dave," said Judge Black, "I 8M-l'vn made a mistake. That res taurant Is down this way. Yes, now I have It (or certain. It Is down this way." And he led the half-famished Mr. Sel lers, down Third street, past Market, until their slow pace brought them to Chestnut street. " There'6 no restaurant here," said Mr. Sellers. "Why, yes," said the Judge, looking up at the Reformed Church, "this must be It, but it s shut up. Mo, this is not It. This is a church, Dave. It's a church." " Well, I see that for myself," was Mr. Sellers' answer, and then he remarked : "Judge, I'm very hungry aid tills delay Is positively aggravating." The Judge stood in the middle of the pavement twirling hla tobacco box In an absent-minded way. Suddenly he turned on Mr. Sellers and a bright light suffused his broad countenance as he said : "Why, Cave, I've made a mistake. That restaurant I am bunting Is In Bal timore! Yes, it's in Baltimore, Dave, and not in Harrlsburg. On Eutawstreet, In Baltimore, and here we've been hunt ing It all the afternoon." Mr. Sellers was speechless. He said: "Come on, Judge, let's go back to the hotel and get a cup of tea," . And they went. . ' LETTER LIST.
