The railroad Is an elevated structure ami the cars are hung be low it ulosoto the street level. They hang from scIh of wheels, taking their power from the tracks, which are charged with electricity. A speed of from eight to ton miles an hour Is claimed for the cars. DlMtiMi rnlny weather any um brella, If stiftlelontly valuable, left neglected and unprotected in any place, Is the legitimate plunder of the next gentleman who comes along either with an umbrella of such in ferior value as to warrant exchange, or with no umbrella at all. The word "steal," "theft," or "thief," its applied to soUurcs of umbrellas, contraband of war through neglect, is not warrantable and must soon lteooiiio olisolete. The soixurv of umbrellas under theo circumstances teaohes a groat moral Iiwiii, 'I'm: appeal of oIuuiiiiioks ought to have no force with Intelligent work Ingtueii, for the simple reason that the couutrlori In which living Is cheapest are the most miserable In the world.

The law provides Sec 2752, Stat utes of Oregon that the assessor shall assess all property "at Its true cash value." True cash value shall be held and taken to mean the amount such property would sell for at a voluntary sale In the ordinary course of business and not what it would bring at public auction or forced sale. The law also provides that all indebtedness within the state shall be deducted. "The prc-ent system of taxation is the most unjust and unequal sys tem ever promulgated into law by a legislature," says the Astoria Pio neer. "It opens the door for fraud. It puts a premium on dishonesty. It compels the small property-owners to pay the bulk of the taxes. The majority of the improvements on property in tho business portion of the city is not assessed at one half Its rental value. The fault is not with the assessor, it is with the cus tom heretofore established in this state. From this statement of facts, has the taxpayer any right to kick at his assessment? If thero is any unjust law that needs repealing it is the Oregon law of assessment and taxation. We hope the representa tives to thelegislaturc will bring thiH matter up at the ensuing session make an assessment law that will compel men to be honest, that will be assessed and compel asses sors to assess nil property at its true value, and repeal this dishonest swindling scheme of deducting in debtedness from the assessed value of property. If the property of Clatsop county was assessed at Its 'trtto cash value,' and there was no allowance for indebtedness, the tax levy for all purposes, instead of being 1 per cent, would be 1 per cent. When the people talk of immlgrn" ting to a state, or capitalists want to invest in any public or private en terprise, they always ask, 'what is therate of taxation?' Comparative tables show the rate to be higher iu Oregon than any other state in the union. Why? Simply because we have tho most corrupt system of taxation of any state in the union. It is about lime that this evil was remedied." HIOII I'lllUKH no"!- MUAIli:. Who ever heard of a workingmun being deferred from migrating to a country where employment is plenty and wages high because the cost of living was higher than iu the place where ho lived ? Wo ven ture to say no one. All workliiginen are inicoucioiis political economists. Without studying tho tomes of Mills, Smith and other writers on economic subjects, they grasp with facility tho idea that these learned men have expressed, that the labor er always has made good to him iu Increased wages the increased ex penditure to which he is subjected Iu high-priced countries. They aNo know by a sort of Intuition that the higher the wages of a worklngman tho more chance he has of rising in the world, and that his fellows are absolutely shut out from such chances In low-wage countries. Under the circumstances is it not preposterous to attempt to delude men possessed of this knowledge into the belief that the change to a low-price and low-wage system is desirable to them? The Chronicle thinks the utter absurdity of the attempt will bo made manlfo.it on the tlth of November next, when the worklngnieu will cast their votes for high wages, with tho full knowledge of the fact that when a man has good wages anil plenty of work he has no need to coueorn himself about the prices of things. I'ml.T Contract to Murry. Two dozen young Swedish girls, recently landed at New York. It Is admitted that they were imported under contract by an agency in that city to litnrry young men they had never seen except by photograph. They had not even courted by mall. Twenty-three girls go to western state, where tlioy will tlntl hus bands. The other remained there. The authorities are inquiring into the society's methods. HliriKMl H u Wltoh. A former policeman of Loo Angeles says almut three weeks ago, near Rock Spring, San Bernardino county, a Imnd of Mojave ludUtns tied a young Mpiaw who was report ed bewitched to a stake ami bunted her alive.

There was a boy Darned Orumblo Tone, who rnn nwny to sea. "I'm sick of thlnis on land," he said, "an sick as I can be I A life upon the bounding wnve will suit n lad like me I" The seething ocean billows failed to stim ulate his mirth. For he did not like the vessel, or the dizzy, rolling berth. And he thought the sea wns almost ns un pleasant as the earth. He wandered Into foreign lauds, he snw enoh wondrous siRht, Hut nothing that he heard or saw teemed Just exactly rlirht. And so he Journeyed on and on, still peek ing for delight. He talked with klngi and ladles fair, he dined iu courts they my. Hut always found the people dull, and longed to get away. To search for that mysterious land whero he should like to stay. Ho wandered over all tho world, his hair giew white as snow, He reached that limit bourne he .sought. The reason would you know? Tho reason was that, north or south, where'er his steps were bent. On land or sea, In court or hall, he found but discontent : For he teok his disposition with him cveryw here he went. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. MOTKK LIST.

II. Oiikm,, P. M. It.izulue'rt Itoumitce. The death of Marshal linzainc ends one of tliu most romantic caruem iu the liistcry of tho century. Umlt-r Napoleon III lie rosu to the front lank, ami his military ability nn J lni genius lor HUrljitlo Wcic recognized by hit royal master, who (;.ive him tho cnmninuil ot tho ilis;vsuuu.i Mix ic&n expedition, llazainu withdrew fro in this with only one :icijuisitnu-k twfc who remained true to Mini in m. my H'VciMen. Thero is i;ood evidence to show that he follow td Napoleon's orders in Mexico, and that thu abandonment of MaMiiiiliau was part of ttiesu order It was in the Franco-Prussian war Unit li.iz.nne next emerged for a brief interval as commander of the French forces, and it was under his leadership that 1 73.OO0 men weie shut up iu the fortress of Mctz and there eurren-dered-the greatest capitulation ot modern times. That surrender gave the death blow to llazatne's militarv repuiatioi , and after tho vwir he vas tried by a French court-martial and sentenced to degrada tion and death. This ssniunoo Has com muted to impiisnument lor twenty ) ears on the IslcS.iinto Marunrite in the Med iterranean. Mis escipo from that place after nine mouths' imprisonment was due to his wife, and since then his support has devolved oil her. llazaine, m'iioo his escape, has lived main ly in Madrid, where he has frequently buen subjected to insults from the French Mumters. Ho attempted iu a weak book to defend his military reputation, but the work foil Hat, The man who was once thegreatesistickler for apponranees-i gen uine military dandy-became a veritablo sloven, shuttling about Madrid in old and greasy clothes. His slovenly drees led to the leports of his extreme poverty several )ears ago, but there was no truth in tho turners, as hn wife has an income of $7000 a year. She came of a proud Mexican family, but at her husband's do sire she tried two years at;o to secure from the Mexican Government the place that Maximiliau gaie to him. She visited the City of Mrxico, hut failed in her mission. It can lie said for Dazaino that there must have been something genuine in him to lisvu pteserved through all these year tho love and devotion of hit wife, but of that tide ot his naturu tno world had no glimpse. It judges him as a soldier and a a man ol atfairs, and in both capaoities ho failed. The complete collapse of Ids tcpuUtiou was uuly surpassed by the speedy extinotion of the fame of the third Napoleou. A Northern Mirage.
