Politics are growing more interesting as . tbe conventions draw nigh. ."Whether the populists will place a couuty tickt iu the race, or not, re , .mains to be seen. At present iiamta of those desirous of going to tlie kjgialn ture are not mentioned, but for the -county offices,' the candidates are vowing out rapidly. On the republi can ticket, Kelsey, Haight, Sexton, Phillips and some others are named for sheriff while the democratic aspirants .are ' Phirman, Morse -and Kowler. George Ruch, Chandler, Burget and .Huntington, would like to face any democrat for clerk, and Ed Martin the present deputy is probably that man, (though several dark horses are ready to . make the run. It is generally conced ed that the county coiumitaioiier should come from .west of The Dalles, and Captain A. 8. Blowers is mention for the place to match some democrat .yet unknown. ' For assessor neither party has produced a candidate, every body realizing that tbe lust assessment ought to last all of us a life time. The .republican primaries will he held on the 28th and the democratic two weeks i'rom today. THE INCOME TAX. Senator Sherman of Ohio is not now advocating an income tax. He is now aid to be worth $2,000,000, saved from his salary. Iu 1870 "Honest John" was of different opinion. In the sen ate then he said: "There has been t .great deal of clamor against the Income tax. It is tbe tame clamor Unit in duced the parliament of England in 1816 and 1817 to repeal the Income tax When a little colloquy occurred here the other dav between the honorable senator from California (Mr. Casserly) And myself on the subject,' I told him that when the proper time came ' Mi iu 1 , r waa Cilia. tained by principal, writers on political economy, by the experience of Great Britain, and that it is just, and the most just and equitable tax that is now levied by the Uuited States ef America, -without exception. I propose to innke good that promise." To which we de aire to add that a careful pei aa) of his speech will convince almost any one that he kept that promise. 7 The revolution in Brazil is ended. De Gama Monday abandoned his own ship and took refuge In a V'Portiisese man of war." It was the bloodiest revolution ever fought to a glorious close in the newspapers of America De Gama was struck in the side by a dinner plate last winter, and the heav iest gun of the insurgeuts his mouth 'lias been spiked ever since. The revolt cos, the United States ten thousand gallons of printer's ink, and the Bra jslllans some awfully hard feelings to wards each other. . PLAIN FACTS.- We received Wednesday a communl cation from Mt. Hood with the above caption. Tbe article did not bear the author's signature, and hence went in to the waste basket. Ever since newspa pers were published, editors have week after week published notices that all commtinications must be signed, but it seerns impossible to make the public understand it. We do not want the author's name for publication, but that we may know who is the responsible party. There is mention of Hon. C. W. Pulton of Astoria as a possible candi date for congress in this district. It might as well be understood by our val ley friends that one congressman and two senators from Western Oregon is supposed to fill her. quota, and that .Eastern Oregon will Insist on keeplug .Ellis or naming his successor. Mr, 1'ulton has the ability to fill any office in the gift of the people of Oregon, but for congress he is short in geography. If honest Phil Metschan expects to succeed himself he bad better get the state money out of the Merchants Nat ional bank in Portland and into the state treasury. This thiug of lending money to a Shylock institution like tbe bauk alluded to, ' while state war ranis are indorsed by the state treasur er; "presented and not paid for lack of funds," is decidedly ancient. It will swamp Phil Metschan or any other man who connives at it. Most of our citizens received a postal card from the sheriff within the past week, stating that the happy recip ient's taxes were so much, and that tbe fume would be delinquent April 1st. The amounts, of course, included the special school tax, but even then, in some cases it was a stunner. There is much complaint about the inequality of tbe assessment, and it really appeals to have been made by guess, regardless of properly.. 1 Senator White of California is a dem ocrat with republican ideas, while Sen ator David B. Hill of New York is a democrat who advocates : republican measures. ' White wants a tariff on prunes and Hill wants free trade in in comes. 1 If these be democrats, it is time that party throws up its hands and cries "Save me from my friends!" According , itQ ' the Oreffonkin,' the taxes in Multnomah county are being paid in an ' unprecedented inauner. That paper, with its usual sapiency re marks that "(lines are so hard that the tax payers have more money than they know What to do with, and hence blow it m for taxes. Shades of the immor tal Dogberry ! From what depths abys mal . was tluit prolunctily , evolved? Hcie we arc all too hard pushed to pay tuxets while our Portland brethren are also so hard pushed that they fliiid it a source, of joy to pay . their taxes, and this, too iu the face of the fierce threat of our big contempoaary a few weeks ago, that Multnomah would secede if her assessment was not reduced. It is fortunate that hard times ' came, and iso'madethe hearts of the taxpayers bubble over with joy' as they warbled up to the sherlil's ottk-e with their exu berance of coin; and at the same time, saved Multnomah to the common wealth of Oregon. If any of our read ers cannot understand this peculiar re sult of hard times, let liim or her drop a nickel in the Oregonian slot, and get an explauation. '.' ' ,: : ,"; The Oregon Bimetallic. League or ganised recently in Portland Is grow ing so rapidly as to cause alarm to sen ator Dolph's friends. Thei r object is to restore silver and ill order to do d they are bound to work, for a legislative ticket, that is opposed to Dolph's re election. The sentiment in Eastern Oregon is decidedly-' In favor of free silver, and we do not believe a congress man can be elected who is opposed" to it nor for thut matter a member of tbe legislature, if the friends of silver see fit to make the right. r Democratic Politics.
