There is $9,344.14 duo Marlon county on delinquent taxes for 18S9 and 1890. Of this amount probably not over $5000 will bo available by Feb. 1st, 1892. This Is the total as-ets in sight, except fees and lines such as come lu at all seasons. At the county sheriffs otUco they say they cau have tho bulk of the taxes collected in thirty flays after getting tho books. If the state board of equalization law had not deferred the levy, the regular annual levy would have been available on nnd after November 1st. Taxes will not now begin to come in beforoFeb. 1st. At the September term of the county court an order was made authorizing the county treasurer to borrow money on his warrants to meet any deficiency. A number of warrants have been Issued and command par and any of tho banks are glad to get them, as they draw eight per cent, and are not taxable There was a time when Marlen county warrants were at dlscouut. Tho county is in debt lu the neigh borhood of $40,000, In tho opluiou of the county treasurer, but no exact balance sheet Is prepared at present. Tho curreut expenses of the coun ty are at least $4008 a mouth, and counting from October 1st tho county will have to borrow at least $20,000 for ordinary expenses to carry It oyer to March 1, 1892, when tho levy for 1801 will bo available. If there are no extraordinary ox punditures Marion county will have GO,000 warrants ailoat by March 1st, 1S92. TVO GKKAT UATTLES. The political fights lu Iowa and Ohio are no nearer solution than ever before, except that election day is nearer at hand. In both states there has been a beclouding aud complication of real Issues so that It is impossible to predict tho outcotno from any standpoint of principle. Both states are republican by majorities ranging from llvo to twenty thousand, varylug as the vote is got out. In both states good crops and good prices aro supposed to favor the administration In power at Washington tho Republicans. It is safe to say the oddH nro In favor of Itepublicuu success two to ono. A noteworthy feature of tho cam paign in both states is tho apparent elimination or placing lu tho back ground of the Labor party and tho Farmers' Alliance. Its propositions aro receiving noattoutlon. Its great issues on laud, finance aud trans portation have been skillfully side tracked, and tho old tarilT straw is being threshed over. Only ou ono point are the Republicans being put "In tho hole," the freesilver coinage question. Tho leading party orators are apparently making the light against free silver. This may drive tho silent third party vote to tho Democrats, especially among tho farmers. In Iowa theDemocrats are shrewd ly fighting prohibition with local option without being committed to local option. In both states tho Republicans de servo to win and we bolievo will win on the merits of their cause in geu eral nnd because of their bold, og gressivo, straightforward rutinnerof declaring what they are In favor of. WHY NOT TJtY VlTKIl'IKI) IIHIOKT Owners of property fronting streets to be paved ought to be convinced of one thing, If they do not got a pavement as they want it, or u pavement they do not want, or pay dearly for u poor pavement, It will be their own fault. They have not only tho selection of tho pavement, but ure at liberty to make testa be fore selecting. Let us illustrate: If tho frontage owuers.on any block or part of a block would ngreo to put down a lino pavement, that would bo clean, beautiful and dur able, at a moderate cost, all the streets would soon be paved lu that way. It would be with paving as It has been with coucreto walks. They were thought very expenMlvo at first. But now uo one In the business or boat residence .parts of tho city will have any other. It will be the same with paving. A good system of paying once tdurted will Iw followed In all parts of the city that need paving with the ftame kind. Why cannot property own era ouont nide of a bloek Join in a movement to tent vitrified brlok? Up on a concert of autlon,u brick maker could be Induced to bum u kiln of vitrified brlok. If wo have material here to make this klntl of brick, labor should bo employed right hero at home, and not mid to California for anaspualtum that can Uthari only at great expense of transportation, and to only an experiment after we have IU It U certain that vitrified brlok pavement to being put dou u in el t lea all over tho eaat, In climates subject to much more severe change (harj ours. This test could be made more cheaply than will bo the expenso In curred by other permauent pave ment. It should be considered that It Is of utermost Importauco to start In with the right klud of pavement. A start with a pavement that will need no argument iu Us bohalf, but that is Itself an argument, will ad vance street paving, moro rapidly than In any other way, A popular pavement, with few apparent defects, would obviate all present objections aud instead.'of talking of Injunctions present objectors would become Its friends. A SrLKNMl) DISPLAY OF OKEGON VUU1TO. Muscatine, la., Jeurnal: I. M. Wagner, of Salem, Oregon, brother of Joseph Wagner, of Urandvlow, arrived' last night ou n visit to his friends iu Iowa and Iudiana, and called ou us this morning with n pledid display of Oregon fruit. They Included soveu varieties of pears, apples nnd quinces. Among them was a full pippin weighing twenty ounces and u qulnco weigh ing ono pound and throo ounces. There was tho stein of a pear tree eight inches long on which four pears had grown, tho largest weigh ing two pounds 1 oz., tho aggregate weight of the three pears being "J pouuds. The Lady applo was a miniature specimen, which set oil to advantage tho larger spcolmous. Ml these spec! raons were exhibited at the late stato fair hold in 8alom, aud aro certainly credttablo to the Willamette Valley as a fruit-growing region. Mr. Wagner Informs us that he emigrated from Louisa county, near Gmndvlew, In 1802, tlrst locating In California, whero ho remained seven years, thence going to Ashland In Southern Oregon, whero ho lived another seven years, dually locating near Salem, whero ho has lived for the papt twenty-flvo years. Ho Is enthusiastic over tho frultfulucas of ills adopted state. SUCUIKSTKI) COJtMKNT. Gervais will soon havo a flno flO,- 000 tlourlng mill in operation. The Jouhnai. Is not a politician's mouth piece, but a pooplo's paper. Tno Interest of tho pooplo do mands tho harmonious development of state institutions. Tho state board of education has held a number of meetings tho past year, as Tun Journal is informed by ono membor. Tho welfare of the Republican party demand that the Blind school be managed as a public institution for a publio beuctlt. The eight thousand squaro miles of land iu tho Willamette valley will support a larger population than tho state of Connecticut. For two weeks Parnoll will hold attention i;i tho obituary sketches of tho press and magazines. In a month he will be forgotten. i , , ..,i -".,., Laud-boomers aro a detriment to nny country. Speaking tho truth about tho Willamette valley will 1111 it with half a million people lu twenty years, and there will bo llfty-ono acres to each porson. Railroad builder Jim Hill says of tho Puget sound ceuntry: "There Is probably n greater area of land platted in townsltes than thcro is cultivated for Its profits, aud the peoplo living there aro sending money away dally to buy food, fruit, etc., from Oregon and Califor nia." Tho pruss Is calling attention to a generally violated Oregon law which prevides: "It shall bo un lawful to sell, barter, trade, give, or in any manner furnish to any minor, under tho ago of eighteen years, any tobacco, cigars, or cigar ettes in any form, or any compound lu which tobacco form a component part." . i The Democratic press of this state labors only for party triumphs. No matter what fraud, Jobbery, cor ruption or abuse In tho publio ser vice Is unearthed, It maintains only u studious silence, that Is never broken only to omit a coyoto yell for tho party. With Vanderbllt these reformers say: "The peoplo be d d." The women beauty of Am or I can Is proverblul, and the destination Is doubtful Iry could bio bevy of Is well merited.

In tho Methodist ecumeulcal council Satur day the subject for discussion was "Tho Chnrch and Scientific Thought." Tho flrst essay was ono prepared by Peroy W. Bunting, editor of the Contemporary Review, entitled "Influonco of Modorn Scloutlflo Progress on Religious Thought." Tho papor In part said that tho modern mind hfB so steep ed Itself In scientific us to bl unt touo small extent Its spiritual faculties, The question Is not ono of solouce, but ono of philosophy. Treating of the spiritual history of man, Bunting says tho evolutionary theory of re ligion Is lu Btrlct accordance with very much that wo aro acoustomed to bullovo. It gives boundless scope to faith aud hope. Dr. Buckloy, of Now York, paid ti tribute to Bunting's paper, which showed, ho said, that religion was not aud noycr would bo a matter of induction or observation, but of faith nnd heart. Sclenco could glyo uo help as to tho fundamental questions of religion. Christianity was as false as tho wildest supersti tion, unless tho birth or Christ was a devino operation upon tho woman without tho agouoy of man (hear, hoar). Nlno-tonths of what high critics brought forward has boon tho subject of study by blblo students for tweuty-flvo years. Tho troublo lay In tho arrogauco of critics. THH CHINUSU KIOTS' San Fkancisco, Oct. 12. Tho Nortli China Nows says editerially: "There nro points about tho lohang riotof sorious importance. It was lu uo senso tho work of u mob. Thcro was Indeed pretexts in tho shapo of tho child said to havo been klduappod ou tho day of tho riot, but this is evidently morely a eubtor fugo'ln order to glvo a shadow for an oxcuso for an outbreak. Eviden ces that It was directed aud carried out by soldiers aro only too numer ous. Tho Chinese brlgadlor gonoral at lohang Is a great friend of foreign ers, but ho was helpless in thd pres ence of an order that cvidoutly camo to his Hunan soldiers to destroy all foreign proporty thoy could on that day. Whero uo gunboat can go, tho position of foreigners, unless In numbers, Is very lnseouro. Whon soldiers got orders from tholr secret loadors, us at lohang, thoy cara uothlug for their olllqors. Tho cen tral government Is powerless, for It has Hunan olllelals everywhere, and tho troops everywhere aro Hunan men, except Hi Hung Chang's dis ciplined force. To order him to sup press Hunan with thoso men Is to start a civil war. Tho situation Is yery critical, uud tho only solution Is for a foreign forco to overawo Iluuau, with tho tacit connivance of tho Chinese government. Thoro will ho uo security or foreign life or property In China unless tho rebel lious Huuaiieso nro supprcscd by force." Tho Hteumor Paohua arrived at Honkow on Sept. fl. with tho Ichang refugee, twonty lu nil, nil of whom lost everything except tho clothes they woro nt tho beginning of tho outbreak. Several bore marks of serious violence. Tho riot took place nt broad noonday, without wurnlng or provocation, Tho de struction was carried out with tho utmost speed that uo IIvhh were lost. Tho Scotch mlssluiiurles owed their escape to tho fuot that they had gono boating on tho river nt tho time of tho outbreak. They hurried back, and werojust in time to res cue tho senior missionaries, infant children, uud esoapo when the mob arrived. Roman Catholic slaters woro hurled over a steep Imuk Into tho river, , whoro they woro htoiicd and several woro severely hurt. In Hankow thlugti nro ntlrrlng auain.
