While profits of busings, pnessoffann pro dacuand wages of laborer and wlari of all professional men are reduced nearlv one ba!f. salaries and fees of state, coanty, citjr and other officials axe aa blga a ever, and wb-ere tbey get fes tbey will become mncb larger. The valuations In Marion coanty for taxation areincxeaaid nearly one-third. In the (state at large the locreas will bA nearlv in that ratio. The ratio of taxation by stale, county and for school purposes will be higher than ever, even on a higher valuation, illustrating, what this writer baa always claimed, that increasing valuations doe not re mit in redodnz the levy. Tbe appro priations by tbe last legislature were higher than ever before There is no apparent limit to tbe demands of tbe ttx-eater. What are tbe farmers going to do next year to pay there taxes? How will they raise tbe money to meet ail theee big appropriations? Tbey are selling their products for reduced price?. Their profits on cattle, grains, fruits, and wool are cat oil on all hands, and taxes are increasing. A farmer was in this office from Polk county and said be doubted if, after paying their debts, there would be money enough left in circulation in that county to pay taxes with for 1893. ' If this state of things cannot be remedied tbe state government will amply result in bankrupting tbe tax payers. Political insolvency is a mild same for nilsgoveinment and looting of public taxes by a professional class of tax eaters wbo are p'eying off tbe taxpayers of Oregon. Bat bow to gel aitiop, bow to reach results, is tbe problem. What can taxpayers wbo are not office-seekers and do not profit by government do to protect them selves? Some will say, join this party, or that party, join a new party. Hut this is what people bave been doing for these many years. Tbe men wbo get tbe enormous incomes afforded by succesa ful political activity can manage tbe taxpayer very well when tbey can herd him in parties and count bis vbte before it is cast. There must be a way by which those who pay can bave a say go in tbe government. Wby should tbe high salaries of pub lic officials and the enormous fees of public offices continue in tbe face of bard times? Wby should not tbe ex penses o( government be reduced in city, county and state to somewhere near tbe proportion of other fa cornea and other pecuniary conditions? It may be said that the number wbo merely pay taxes still outnumber tbofee who consume taxes. Cut those wbo consume taxes far out-do the taxpayers in political activity. Tbe tax eaters, not tbe taxpayer, run tbe government. What Is tbe remedy? Is it not great er political activity on the part of tboae who only pay? Is It not necessary that tbe man who holds no office, who seeks no office, who does not profit by local or stale government in other words tbe disinterested, unrepresented taxpayer that be shall protect himself against tbe oligarchy of office-holders wbo now rule over bim? In other words must not the- taxpayer organize for self-protection? It will be found upon closer examin ation that tbe office reeking class bave very little at stake as a rule. They are not the heavy tax payers as a rule. .Neither is their political activity a matter of principle so much as It is dol lars and cf nls. In fact the office seek ing class In any community do not much regard party lines. Tbey want other people to be partisans and vote tbe stmlgbt ticket, as that very much sJcupllfiea their political operations. What can tbe tax payers do to reduce the cost of slate, county ami city gov ernment, which now equals 4 per cent a year on all property? It is too much It will cripple most business euterprli and render uuremunerattve most prop erty In this state tho next four years unless It cat) be reduced. Hut how to reduce it. Everyone knows that anj oMce lu tbe stale can be bad well fillrd for from $1600 to $2Q00 a year. Vet the people are paying from 13,000 to 110,000 A year, aud Borne even more. There It not couuly office that cannot be we" I Ailed from f 1000 to $1500 yet the peo pie are paying from $2000 to $5000, and even more a year. What Is the remedy? Ii (here not enough common sense and busluese lntelllnepca among tbe tax payers to organise and' apply bust! tie prlaeiples. to their home government In county and tutt? I We should like to bear from our read ' era, wbo are tax payers, on this propo sition. We woald like suggestions as to what can be done to lessen tbeerer increasing burdens cf taxation that will sink oar state in political corruption and pecuniary bankruptcy if it is not stopped.

Tfere Minim A cm at Elb Farm lu g Land Fr Fotore BMaen. People generally got tbe idea that the Cherokee strip affords the last of the big epmngs of Indian Territory reserva tions. This is a raistaie. Tbe Fort Still ceontry is yet to be divided. It is a far richer prize for tbe homeseeker, by all accounts, than the strip. In iwad nnraber of acres the Cherokee strip looks mere imposing. Bat tbe western third contains wastes of sand bills. The west ern half of the strip is fit for httle else than grazing. With the Fort Sfll conn try the case is different. TheproportHm of fine farming land is ranch greater. Prospectors wbo have roam! over the Fort Sill country since the Comanche became quiet enocgh not to be tronHe some eay it is a region that Eurpasteo Ok lahoma and the best of the strip. Tbe Fort SHI country lies in the southern part of the Indian Territory. It borders on Red river. Jest across the river are the Texas cities of Wichita Falls, Iowa Park, Vernon and Qnanab. The famous Panhandle wheat belt of Texas is along the Fort Sill reservation- The latter possesses the qualities of soil and climate which hare made the former faraons. In addition it has more timber and wa ter. There are about 3,C03,C3Q acres of Fort Sfll country. Those qualified to speak say that there is more first class farming land in this reservation than in the strip. In one valley, the Cacito, is rich land for 3),vj0 forms. After the Comanches and Apaches are provided with tbeir allotments 100, OtO white people can find homes in the reservation. The Fort Sill cooirtry has in abundance what is so often lacking in the eonthwest, and that is plenty of tim ber of good quality and epnnga and beau tiful mnning streams. It has mountains and minerals, a diversity of climate and resources which the northern part of the Indian Territory does not possess. Ad joining the reservation of the Comanches and Apaches, with whom the commis sioners have already entered injp an agreement for the purchase of tife sur plus lnd, are about 1,(4)0,000 acres occu pied by 1,000 Wichitas and Caddoes. Thi3 minor reservation is nearly ready for opening. In fact there are those in Oklahoma who hold that no legal rea sons stand in the way of settlers moving right Into the Wichita country. When the Wichita and Fort Sill reservations are occupied, there will be continuous white settlements from the Kansas lice to the Bed river. The same pressure which forced the opening of Oklanoma and later of the Cherokee stnp has be gun to operate against the Wichita tract and the Fort Sill country. The longing eyes of the boomer are already upon these two fair regions of the whole Indian Territory. Organizations of in tending settlers have been formed all along the north line of Texas. Around Wichita Falls, Iowa Park, Verona and Quanah is a country which raises mil lions of bushels of wheat and which is worth from $10 to $50 an acre. Just across the river from this great south western granary is a country leased to cattlemen for about 5 cents an acre. Before another spring the cry of "On to Fort Silir will be beard from all parts of the border, and it will be irresistible. St. Lotus Globe-Democrat. Tbe Lat or tbe XeaUchtkoOi. The last representative of the famous Russian family of Mentschikoff died a a short time ago in Baden Baden. The founder of the family was Prince Alex ander Danilovitch Mentschikoff, who was the son of a stableman and the ap prentice of a baker. The boy attracted the attention of General Lefort, who in troduced bim to Peter the Great. Owing to his extraordinary cleverness, he ob tained great influence over the czar and soon advanced to the highest places in tbe empire. In time he became the most important and tbe most 'feared man of Russia. In 1727, however, he fell suddenly into disfavor and was banished to Siberia, his immense fortune being confiscated by the crown. He became insane there brooding over his fall and losses, and died in 1720. His son was restored to favor, however, and the family quickly regained its prominence. The fortune of the last Mentschikoff, running into the millions, will go to a distant rela tive, Prince Sagarin. St. Petersburg Letter. Tbe ObelUk Capped. The work of putting a gilt cap on the obelisk in Central park has been com pleted. The cap is made of zinc, coated with gold, and is 4 feet 7 inches high and 3 feet square at its base. It extends about half way down the pyramidion. The weight of the cap is sufficient to hold it snugly in place without any rivets or cement, but robber bands have been placed just above the hieroglyphics to fill the space between tbe metal and stone. The cap was made by Tiffany. The obelisk is in first class condition, and not a speck has fallen since 1633, when it was treated by Mr. CaffaU. The original polish on its eastern face for a distance of about five feet below the pyra midion is still unimpaired. The cap was recommended by Profess or A A Julius pf Columbia college in his lecture before the Geological society last month, and the park commissioners ordertd the work to be done. New York Bun. Ececntrle JIU Carter. Miss Sabra Carter, the eccentric spin ster who made many queer gifts to the town of Wilmington, Mass., died last month.

The condition of thoso having their houses painted was that they should not have kept a dog for two years. Wilmington Dispatch. THt JEWELER'S ART.

There are a number of external pipe:;, within each of which is an internal pipe of suit able diameter to allow an annular pas sage for steam let ween each set of pips. The external pipes are screwed into sock ets, into which the ends of the in:ernal pipes are fixed by expanding - ui fixing boiler tabes. Tbe sockets on tbeapper pair of pipes communicate with the sockets at the ends of a lower pair by a screwed union, which, being first screw ed into the npjr socket, is made good by screwing up a dbL For supporting thecads of the pipes opposite to the unions solid phigs are found to boh! the sockets together, the uaioas and connec tions being made with right and left screw threads.
