THIS FIllST CONVENTION. W. H. Galvanl, J. F. Heiulrlx and Nathan Pierce, members of tbo national central committee of tbo People's Party for the state of Oregon have Issued a call for a stato convention to bo held at Oregon City, Wednesday, March 10, 1892. Tbo call is worded as follows- "for tbo purpose of adopting n state plat form and transacting siicti otber business as the duty wo owe to the people of tbls state may detnuud. Tbe basis for representation Is as follews: Each county central or ganization by its .working commit tee, eaoh precinct club by one regu. larly elected delegate, each central labor organization by n committee of three, and each labor organiza tion not ufllliuted with a co tit nil body, to one delegate. Proper cre dentials, duly hlgued by tbe princi pal ofllcer uud recording secretary of tbe boily sending its delegation will be required In all cases before Beats will bo ujlowed." Tbe committee further say: "Wo urge upon you tho necessity of send ing your trifest and ablest ineu to represent you at tbls coming great convention, for its actions should be Bucb as to mark a new era in the history of our state; an era of an honest attempt on the part of the tax ridden farmers nnd under paid mechanics and laborers to freo tliem selvei ftom the Iron gruspof a heart less nnd soulless oppressor whose unlimited greed and fraudulent ttan-"nctlons have driven the wr altb producers to their present doplorable condition. We appeal to you in tbls hour, knowing that tho sphlt of righteousness will find a true re sponse In your hearts. Let eaoh organization come prepared to do what tho Importance of the hour will demand, and do it 'right, for the best Interests of oiir constitu ents." This call is subject to the result of tho national convention which is to moat on Februuty 22, 1892, for the purple of a final consolidation of all tho reft rm force in tho country and the udoptiou of a natiouul plat form. Till! TAX KKIIKLI.ION. For j ears past tbe press of the state has been tilled with criticisms of our tux laws because so much property escaped taxation. Tho first effort to oven up the Injustice is met by resistance from the tax-dodgint; conters. If there Is one proposition of the state board of equalization that ought to meet with public ap proval, it is that mortgages bo taxed at their full cash value. As n rule real estate mortgages exempt two times their cash value In lands. As a rule a real estate mortgugo 1b tho surest aud most profitable form of Investment known. Theuct of the stuto board in raising mortgages all over the state to one hundred per cent, of their cash value as ussessed was the most Just solution that could bo had, when It Is remembered that In many counties they wcro assessed at that figuro and all the board did was to level up every county to the maximum figuto already established by the usuge of years. At this act, moro tliau'Biiy other, tho tax-dodgers of Portluud aud Astoria are re belling. It Is to be regretted that In this rebellion against stato law the tax-dodgers have been encouraged by tho uttitude of Governor Pen noyer. It Is not to bo said that the governor has aided uud ubetted this revolt of the mortgugo holders. It would be too serious a churgo to bring homo to our execu tive, who has always been prepared to act rightly when tho woes of the laborer came to tho front. To say bo Is in sympathy with tbo money lenders rebellion against state law would be putting It too harshley. Tin: Jouknai., will not charge Unit, but It regrets that as a true friend of tho people Governor Pennoyer has apparently thrown his Influence against tho cause of lax reform, agulust tho effort to JuBtly tax tho capitalist's securities as well as tho poor man's cow. ItLANOi BlLVlClt HILL. Representative Bland, tho great silver champion of tho house, has presented his free coinage bill, and It was referred to his committee. The essential part of the bill pro vide that uny person having gold or bllver bullion of the value of $ 100 or more, may deposit Jt In any mint of the United States aud receive in exchange iU value In coins or coin noU-a.i There is also a provision that when France shall re-adopt a double standard on the ratio of 16 to one, that ratio "hall be adopted in tbi country, and thereafter all standard dollars shall contain 400 grains of silver, InMead of 412 u nt present, The bill provides that Ip reoololug i - t , Royal Baking Powder Is Superior to Every Other: It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Pdwder is - absolutely pure. ... I will go still further and state tiiuL beqause of the facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependr ent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation, the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the 1 public. HENRY A. MOTT, Ph. D., (he 412 grain dollars In the treasury or thereafter coming Into the treas ury, the gain or selgnorage shall go to tho government. Tbe loss will, therefore, fall on holders of coin notes, for these notes are secured by 412 grain dollars before tbo change aud 400 grain dollars thereafter. All holders of silver dollars will them selves melt them into bullion and secure tho profit. Tho main provision of tho bill contemplates freo coinage. Any s.tlver bullion, wherever produced or obtained, may be taken to tho mint, weighed, and the amount received will be equal to tho amount obtained by dividing the weight in grabs by 412. education Ninsurj). Next June thero will bo a general fctate and couuty election. It Is to be conducted under the new AuBtra lain ballot law, which changes and complicates tbe mode of voting and preparing tickets very much. An exchange makes the suggestion that voters study the law and become familiar with lln operation. It calls tbe attention of tho Alliance and grango to this matter as they have meetings uud superior opportunities to iustruct their members. It might also be well to organize Democratic and Republican clubs, specially to educate voters on this subject. It deems tbe new law an improvement on the old. While the occupation of tho "ehotion day striker" is greatly limited in ''fixing" tlpkets, a greater degree of Intelligence is also required of the voters. Tho peo ple want a fair election, they waut no precincts, nor votes thrown out, but in order to avoid this thero must bo a more geueral understanding of tbe new law. TUK IICOI'MS AUK OKTT1NO TI1KIII UOUNTY HUBINE8S. AT Tho WascoSun says: "It is to the credit of tho newspapers of Wasco county thut there was but one appli cant for such service tho Dalles Cbioulelnalouo demanding pay or the publication of legitimate news in Its columns -whlla pupers goner ally throughout tho state consider county court proceedings a pure matter of news and publish the samo without demanding blood money from tho taxpayers " Newspapers so defioleut in circu lation as to be made to successfully compote under the couuty publica tion law cry sour grapes, but it Is a fact that never befero in tho history of tho stato have the country news papers so filled their columns with the details of couuty government. Ouo of these publishers In Marlon county finding he could not com pete, at ouco informed tho court that It would bo an outrago to pay more than one cent per square.

Monday, Sherman Ross, Lewis French and an unknown man were fatally injurod by n mass of falling rock and earth. Ida Norton, a handsome and ac complished young lady of Indian apolis, has created a sonsatlou by running off with and marrying PaqgWim, a wealthy Chinaman. At Newcastle, Wash., Monday night, in a row over a "crap" game, in which several negro coal miners were involved, yilltam Franklin was shot and fatally wounded by Charles Harrison, who surrendered himself to tbe authorities. The first borber shop opened in Portland was away back early In tbe '50s, and the proprietor of the place was Carlos Eduardo Baolllo, who died at Pendleton, Or., Satur day night. Carlos was a native of tho Philippine islands. Whon a small boy he ran away from homo and became n sailor. Ho first lauded In San Francisco in 1840, and, after several voyages, came to Portland, where ho located. For a great many years Carlos lived at Pendleton. Ho was an old man, but his exact age was not known. Telegrams have been received from the East that the Pacific Mall htiB offered to have sixteen steam ships, capable of carrying 1200 men each, ready for sea In from ono to two weeks, but if such is the case tho great majority of them must be on tbo Atlantlo seaboard, whereas for prompt action it would bo neo essary for tho vessels to leave olther S. l: or Sim Diego. Those In churgo of tho company's affairs on this Bldo profess to know nothing regarding tho offor, although they smilo knowingly, and in suoh a manner as to give one tho idea that tho offer of tho company might pos sibly havo been made. At present several ocean-going steamers aro laid up In Richardson's Bay and Oakland Creek, owing toalaokof business, and it is possible that some of these vessels might be put on tho various lines in tho place of those taken for transport sovlco by the government. Goueral B. F. Butler, when asked by a reporter for his views on tho president's messago said; I have read the message aud like its tone, and one thing especially I am glad to sco and that 1b the frank and full Indorsement it gives Minister Egun. X havo come to tho conclusion tho action of Chill toward our seamen was outrageous, unpardonablo and wrong. I havo seen some nonsense in newspapers about submitting tho matter to arbitration, If a man slaps me in tho face, I don't submit the slap to arbitration, and cer tainly not until ho apologizes for the insult. "If ho says, "Oh, you must arbritrate because I am a little fellow and you can easily whip me," my answer would be; "In having insulted me you aro a bigger man than I am until you havo apolo gized for tho iusult." Tho apology given, I would thou consider tbo amount of damages. It is said there Is no glory gulued by a war with Chill. That may be true, but wo aro not seeking anything; the point with us Is to save our honor in tho eyes of other nations of tho world aud havo reparation for an insult to our citizens. La Urlpue.

MISCELLANY. DOUBTEn EVEN IN DRAW. Ni?w York, Jan. 27.Further in vestigation in tho matter of Walton Hill, deceased, late OMhler of tbe Jamesburg, N. J., bank, proves that ho stole $60,000, Instead of 130,000 m at first reported. It was discovered that ho had arranged to get hold of tho $20,000 deposit which the bunk had with tho government, but death' prevented tho fruition of his scheme, A meeting of the bank directors was held ou Saturday at which the ad-r: visabtllty was dlsodssed of suing a life insurance company in whlth Hill had a policy for $20,000. 1 was said, however, that tkw com pany has refused to pay the policy on tho ground that Hill committed suicide, A director oven moved that Hill's body be exhumed and an examination made. The motion -was put and resulted in a tie. An other director moved the bank be olosed, tho assets realized and the depositors paid oft at t'h pro-rata expense or tbe directors. Tbe meet lng adjourned without deciding any thing deQnUo. Tho latest sensation Is the statement of Blanche Doug lass, a dissolute woman of New York, with whom Hill, in spite of tho fact that ho was a deacon In the Presbyterian church, was veil ac qualnted. This woman says sh saw Hill on Fourteenth Btreet, this city, after his reported death. Tbl story has many believers who oall to mind the Btutplcloua circumstance of the funeral. The physician and undertaker were both strangers, and tho funeral was secret aiiil private. It is said thst the body- will b ex humed and it will be discovered if a dummy waa burled in place of Hill, or whetbor the cashier dld natur ally or committed suicide. CREDITORS MOURNINd.
