of liquor, and commenced quarreing with
his wife. Hoping to AVOID any trouble,
she left her sleeping apartments and proceeded to

after her. The deceased followed her, but being
unable to open the door thought he would climb out

upon the tagging beneath, q distance Of thirteen
feet. His skull was crushed in and he died from
the effect of his injuries few hours afterwards.

ErOOklyn's Taxes.

The prospect Of an increase Of one per cent in the
taxes is anything but cheering to the Brooklyn
propertyO owners Landlords say that 1t is impossi-
BILE for them to increase their rents and under the
heavy taxation they could do better to invest their
capital IN something else than in real estate. I'M
less there Is reduction in the taxes real estate

be observed in this they first con-
ess defeat, and then expect success
by means Of o surrender. This pol
icy may be denominated drawing
success out Of the elements Of decay.
It's influence has been very iIjuri-
oas TO the morale Of the party. The
old style Of party drill and dis
cipline is no longer SO effective in
its controlling influence. Allegi-
ance is no longer esteemed as a sa-
cred duty. The moment Democra-
cy gave favorable consideration to
the project Of coalescing with the
Liberals, that moment she yielded
her individuality and integrity.
Virtue at once began to depart from
her, ard allegiance to her behests
was no longer regarded obligatory.
Democrats who prefer to nominate
q ticket of their own are most sensi-
BILE and consistent; but we do not
believe that such a ticket can be
put in nomination now as will unite
the broken elements Of the party.
AS we said, the morale of the par
ty was injured, we may say de-
stroyed, by the consent given by it
to merge its identity into the Liber-
al organization. That consent scat
tered the flock, and no Democratic
shepherd, in the shape Of o Presi-
dental nominee, can gather the
sheep together again. Republican
ideas are killing the Democratic or
ganization and as the party disbands,
many of its best supporters will
DRIFT into the Republican orgapiza.

Governor Grover, Teal and the
rest of the apologists for the Will
lamette Falls, Canal and Lock
improvement, have tried from the
first, and are now using their best
powers of invention and sophistry
to cover uplts real character. They
have endeavored to convey the i'm
preston that the contract given by
the Legislature to the Company now
making the Improvements, stipu-
lates that the Company shall con-
struct the locks of "stone, iron and
cement" principally, thus making
them strong, durable and lasting.
The contract, however, includes
wood, and it is SO loosely drawn
up, as to stipulate no particular
amount or quantity of"stone, iron,
cement" and wood to be used, thus
leaving the contractors open to the
exercise of their own discretion.
In this lies the swindle, the dishon-
esty in this matter. The Company
can build the locks largely of,cood,
as the Farmer says it is informed
the Company is now doing, use
some "stone, iron and cement and
Gov. Grover will not lie by saying
that the locks are being built ac-
cording to contract. The decep-
ton comes in, though, where the
Governor endeavors to make it ap-
pear that ''stone, iron and cement"
are to be used, mainly. The le-
ception in this is more apparent
when we consider that the main
argument used by the supporters Of
this swindling measure, to justify
the giving of the contract to the
present Company for $4,000 more
than was bid by the p. I. Com
pany, was that the former were to
build the locks of "stone, iron and
cement" principally, while the ?.
T. Company were not. The sworn
statement of Mr.. Asa A. McCully, |
of Salem, Oregon, and the state
ments of Others have long since
shown that the P. T. Company
agreed to take the contract substan-
tally as given to the present CON-
pany. They would have taken
the contract, in good faith, TO build
the locks around the falls Of the |
Willamette Of same character,
and under the same restrictions
and provisions as is now provided
for by law, for one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars, which
would have been a saving Of seven
ty-fye thousand dollars to the
State.

There is one Democratic editor
in Oregon, it seems, aho has not
got over the old peucbant Of indulg-
ing in threats, dire and bloody.
The Portland Herdld has lsshed
itself into such o state of frenzy in
regard to the monopoly" question,
as to give expression to sentiments
more adapted to the blood-thirsty
Ku Klux Of the South, than to any
other class. The logic of its posi-
ton is, that if the Democracy car
not accomplish their purposes in this
State at the next election, that
somebody must be killed; blood
must run. 1t thinks that "Iiberti-
cides" deserve death, and it inti-
mates that Holiday is a "Liberti-
eide" This smatters too much of
assassination to suit our fancy. 1t
looks as if the Herald would he
pleased if some sneaking cut-throat
would go and kill Holiday. In
fact, it looks very much like an alb
solute encouragement for some one
to go and do that thing. Is the
Herald trying to scare somebody,
or has the editor actually gone era
zy? Ifthe former, that journal
commits a grave mistake. The
South tried that, and the thing has
been tried once before here in Ore
gon, but did not succeed. One
Southern "fie eater" was hardly
equal to FIVE yankees" it will be
remembered was the lesson ofthe re-
bellion. Ii the editor of the Her.
aid has gone crazy, we are sorry for
him, and can make due allowance
for his foolish talk. No sane man
ought to think Of trying to frighten
Republicans into going contrary to
their convictions. Knowing their
rights, they dare maintain, and arc
equally ready to defend the rights
of others.

The War Department has re-
ceived the details of a most fiendish
massacre by Indians, NIexlcans and
negroes, Of seventeen persons, in
Guiding two women and a child,
who were with train loaded with
United States commissary stores, on
the way from San Antonio to Fort
Stockton, Texas, and the plunder
ing of the train. The details show
it to be one of the most horrible in
the annals of Indian atrocities, says
the telegram. The victims were
tied tothe wagons and burned alive;
and when Col. Merrill arrived at the
scene, blackened corpses alone re-
NAMED. It's not known whether tho
women were burned or carried off
It's thought the Indians came from
New Mexico, the belief being susI
tained by the fact that deserters from
negro regiments were with them
such deserters always escaping into
Mexico. 1t is to be hoped that th9
perpetrators of this heartless atrocil
ty may meet with just and speedy
retribution.

The Real ,1OnOpOlists.

Oregon Democrats effervescc like
ginger pop and sometimes run over
on the question Of monopoly. Every
thing the Republican party
favors nowadays is a monopoly,
according to their representation.
They seem to be hardly aware that
they are, practically, the worstmon-
opolists in the State. That, or else
they are very cheeky. Look at the
charter given to the Lock Company.
The p. T. and w. T. Companies
received an average Of twelve cents
per ton for freight--a reasonable
amount. The charter to the Lock
Company, however, allows it to
charge fifty cents per ton for freight,
the privilege to be enjoyed for
twenty years. They not only favor
this Company to the tune OF $751;
900 of the school money, but they
give them thirty.eight cents more
per ton for freight than was charged
by the other companies. How in
consistent for such people to talk of
monopoly! They are the real mon
opolists.
