UULIMHKllAIlA.KX(JEl'l'HUNDAYl BY THIS Caoltal Journal Publishing Company, (Incorporated.) Offlco, Commercial Htreet, In r. O. llulliUng entered at tho postofllco at Salem, Or., as errond-clnts lr.atttr. rortTLANirs wiunk. There Las been much complaint lately from Portland through tho columns of Its largo uowspapers, to l he effect that tho balanco of the flaie expects the metropolis and Its peonle to bear all or nearly nil, or at least an undue proportion, of tho financial burdens of tho common wealth. From the incisive pen of The Oregoulnn editor has fallen many cutting paragraphs of sar casm about the "cow counties" during the past few mouths, especi ally siuco tho agitation of tho world's fair project nud tho equaliza tion of the assessment of tho state !y the board of equalization for tax able purposes. Let us bco if Portland Is not play lug tho big whining baby scheme in these matters. Let us see if sho does not get much more of tho mut ton than sho is called upon to pay for. Let ui bco If sho does not keep out an Immensely largo toll from all tho flour sho grluds for tho remnluder the state. Suppose she does pay one-third tho taxes 1 From tho daily records of criminals, iustvuo persons, deaf mutes, blind, and candidates for the reform school, who are assiduously tared for In our state penul elee mosynary institutions, we should Judge Unit Portland uses up her pro Portion of tho funds allotted to those purposes. Then, tho railroad arrangements are such that in transferring those classes of persons belonging to other counties of the state to and from their respective local It ts, Portland gets a good slice of tho fees that are paid out of tho publio funds. Then after the prisoners are landed at tho penitentiary, Port laud capltul steps in and demands tho ueo of every able-bodied man it cau ueo, paying 40 cents per day for ills services aud realizing $2 on his work in competition with free labor of the state. It is also barely possible that in tho list of stato em ployees Portland has its full share; also lu tho trado derived from all the stato Institutions in fact in tho distribution of publio funds it is moro than probable that Portland absorbs tho largest portion. Forest Grove Times. TAKEIIOLU OF TIIK FltlMAItlKS. It Is tho duty of all citizens to lake hold of the primaries. That is tho first recourse of thoso who desire good government and n peoples gov ernment. Good work at the prima, rles la half tho hattlo won. It is not nil, because if good men aro nomi nated their election Is still to bo secured. Unless good work at t!o caucus of tho party is bioked up by good work at tho polls for tho party thero is only fireat loss. Tho good done at tho primaries loaves only ohagrlu at the result at tho polls and voters loso confidence in our political methods. This is especially the caso with tho farmers. They outnumber the town politicians ut tho polls, hut not at the primaries, nnd aro often dissatisfied at tho outcomo because they let slip the vital opportunity to achieve good results by not attending tho party primaries that make tho nominations. It is only in extra ordinary cases that majorities are overcome after the purty tickets aro put in tho Held and party alignment tako place. Tho whole tendenoy then is to carry tiie parly ticket in nfuo cases out of ten. This is some times overcome whuu glaringly im proper nominations uro mado and an extraordinary eflort Is made to defeat such. But it will not do to depend upon the ballot to ovt-rcoinu tho evils of the cancus. It cannot bo relledupou to afford relief from bosslsm, but moro often fails. The farmers and independent citizens can literally tako possession of the primaries aud conventions of Marion cunly. Thoy uro not obliged to do tills hut it is plutnly their duty so tu do. Not to run any party us a fanners' party exclublvely, or to control Its actions by mug wumps, but to assert tho rights of tho taxpayer and disinterested citizen us uguiiiBt tho ringster and politician for revenue only. Men who believe In u people's govern ment nhould get out nnd work for It once In a whlloanil not allow u (tw professional politicians to inako all tbo display of political patriotism. The people urn entitled to greater not result from political contests nnd yet too often J hey ro them ftelvfs to blame for not achieving more. Higher idtil aud better results demand creator zeal aud de votion to tho public weal ou the part of the pure minded yoemen who pay the (axes aud who alone can place a check ujkw corrupt politics. A part that muny play, or are piayeJ, but no one evtr admit that of sucker. n:aK-nr.t. romtKNT. As there Is t be ho war with Chili, it in time there were a round between Portland politicians. Thk CautaIi JourtNAXi is not ambitious to bo nu organ In any souso of tho word. It is desirous to bo of Bervleo to tho masses of tho people. Another spilt is nunounced in tho Alliance. A split peems to bo desira ble all the year around except on election day. The tnlk about Judge Thurston, of Omaha, for vice president on the Republican ticket Is nouseuse. As well propose Jay Gould. Another election of a few more asses to the head of tho Oregon Editorial association nud that body will ho as. defunct ns tho aforesaid asses themselves. Dan Voorhees, of Indiana, who tinted Lincoln, has Introduced n bill appropriating $15,000 for tho pur chaso of a picture of Abraham Lin coin, to adorn the capltol building. Speaking of criminals being brought beforo tho bars of justice, reminds one of tho fact that tho bars aro often let down, or aro so wide apart tlmt moro got through than nre stopped by them. Bend on your dispatches of nil tho good things you can promise tho people, Mr. Hermann. They bo published in The Oregonian duly swallowed by thoso who bellovo in your buncombe. will nnd still Ella Wheeler Wilcox suys that If she were asked to dcfluo the mean ing nfn successful innn she would say, "A mnn who has mado a happy home for his wife and children." It is to bo presumed sho will allow of tho same definition for n success ful woman. Tub Jouhnatj Is uot booming nny of the numerous candidates for oftlco on tho Republican tioket. If names aro put on tho ticket that wo hnvogood reason to bellovo nro of fensive to tho people nud liablo to work permanent detriment to Re publicanism in this county, wo shall not hesitate to say bo. Tho Charleston News nnd Courier persists in its ns&ortion that D. B. Hill is persona non grata to the Southern Demooruoy. Tho News and Courier says: Thero Is uot a Democrntlo news paper of nny circulation or lnflueuce lit tho south, from Maryland to Mexico, that Is fuvorablo to his nomination or that believes ho could bo elected If he should bo nominated. Mr. Hernmnn Is telegraphing hore for information about tho Willa mette river nud iti volume of com merce that ought to bo familiar to ovry Bchool boy.
