If our recollection serves 10 right
years before anybody else thought Of
doing SO. Salina taxed the wild lands OF
the kansas Pacific at enormous rates.
The question is still in the courts. Has
a term Of court ever passed BY without
a suit with the company, and VII" is to
blame! Right Or wrong. tho company
must make their costs back. Business
is business-Jxacfioa CITY UaioS.
The above, though joke on Saline
county, is really the argument OF the
railroad company. Saline county taxed
the railroad lands because she thought
it was right; hence shc must suffer the
company's di.pleasurc. Private indi-
viduals sued tho company for their
rights and hence, again Saline county
must suffer. Bssuess Is bssissss! Yes
that's %. Hence Saline county has
fought for her rights in the courts and
| in most instances, has gained them II
other counties on the line bad dose the
same thing, this company wosld long
since have bstter behaved Itself.

STOKES.

1t seems to he the order Of the day to
make tho crimc of murder respectable
The efforts of Stokes and his counsel,
to avoid the punishment the murderer
of Fisk deserves, is wonderful. The
latest report is that one of Stokes law.
ycrs has returned to New York, after
an absense of several days, with newly
discovered evidence of startling char.
actor. He states that woman has been
found, who picked up the pistol alleged
to have belonged to Fisk, on the land
ing at the entrance to the hotel; tina,
her presence at the time can be cOrrob
GRATED. 1t is also said that other impor-
tant links in the chain Of evidence, until
now missing, have been supplied, and
that Judge Davis was aware Of those
important facts when he granted the
stay. Evidently the congratulations thai
werc so generally INDUCED in on the oc
casion OF Stokes conviction were pre-
mature. He will in all probability chea
the gallows in the long run with the Nj
of the legal machinery which seems Il
have been expressly formed to prevent
the punishment of criminals.

Il continuation of the road from Kala-
ma to Puget Sound, and will bring it
to the Puyallup river, about six miles
southeast of Tacoma and 25 miles
south of Seattle. From this it is evil
dent that the company do not intend to

upon, the Sound, until they have COM

may then reasonably expect to wait two,
and perhaps three. years for the location

DoDoING.--The Echo in its attempt to
show that {" the schools will sustain a
serious injury" if Rev. G. A. Hunting
ton, the County Superintendent elect
displaces Deacon Bigelow, the defeated
aspirant for that and every other office,
defends its position only by citing the
statement that Mr.. Huntington is tech
nically nonresident. How that is to
affect Mr.. Huntington's qual .fcations,
and in what manner the schools will
sustain a severe injury" by his admin
istration, does not appear. The allu-
sion the Echo makes to the Grauc of
tie Legislature to elect Territorial officers
a few years ago, rs parallel case, is
not justified by circumstances. In this
instance an election has taken place; in
that the officers held over because no.
body was elected to succeed them.

While we arc excepted, and should

refrain from expressing qualification
that our newspapers are not tainted, to
any alarming degree, with the odous
and notorious "Oregon style" Our
journals have never found it necessary
to fill their local columns by serving up
a corpse sold at auction, asan appetiser,
for months at time, nor to devote
pages to an imaginary arrest of des-
perado. We might even boast that
our community has never been placed
in state of seige by a single desperate,

more worthless, trashy and sickly papers

@ A Walla Walla paper, comment
ing upon the proposition to annex that
country to Oregon, says: eve are in
formed by an official of Oregon, we'll
informed on the subject, that the ap-
preparation to build Il State Capitol,
and other appropriations added to the
present State debt, will augment it to
about $500, GOO. At the present rate of
taxation we would be required to pay
from six to eight thousand dollars more
for State purposes than we now pay for
Territorial. The advantages gained, if
any, are far overbalanced, in our judg-
ment, by the increase of burdens. 1t
would be far better to divide our county
by the act of our own Legislature, or
memorable Congress for the formation
of a new Territory out of Eastern Ore
gon Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho. For the present, at least, we
had better bear our present ills, if any
such exist, than by an ill-advised move,
do what we shall hereafter forever re-
greet"

AN Essay UpoN CoRREcr GRAMMAR
A searcher after truth writes to ask us
which is grammatically correct, to say

is being built" the street is paving
or " the street is being paved?" There
is wide diversity of opinion upon this
subject; but we incline to favor GO is be-

Suppose you wish to express another
kind of an idea, would you say, for in
stance, "Johnny is sranling,' or
johnny is beins'spanked?' The diff
ference to you may seem immaterial
but it is matter of considerable i'm
portance to Johnny; and it is probable
that if any choice were given him, he
would at once select the former alter
native. You say again that the mis-
sionary is eating Certainly this ex-
presses very different and much pleas
anter idea than the form: sThe ,nis-
sionary is being eatcn;" and the sensa-
ton is very different for the. missionary,
too. We have consulted several mis-
sionaries about it, and they all seem to
think that the two things are somehow
not the same, no matter what the gram
marians say. But it is to be confessed
that there are occasions when the DIFF
ferenca in the foy!n is not sn marked.
You assert, we say, !" Hannah is hug

accompanied by NJ. :. Il. Abbott. The
architect, we inspected t. new build
ing Of ChaS. Durmis.cr, ESD, on Main
street, adjoining his place Of business.
The front Of the building is different
from any iii town. The large windows
light vdfdn,l,r;;'' ;,iiG ornamental finish
OF the cornices present an imposing a,,-
pearance from the street. The main
room of the lover .ory is u by 60 feet
in size, with twelve foot ceiling. 1t is
wainscoted three feet high and hard
finished throughout, with beautiful and
elaborate center-picccs. Side ventila-
tors, run to the roof. The stairs are
wide, with easy tread, and hand rail
on either side. The second story is
partitioned into Offices suitable for any
business or profession. a wide hall
runs the entire length, aifording access
to all the rooms, and egress in the rear
10 Il Dack Nafalul, where water ana
convenient out-houscs are situated.
This story is eleven feet in the clear,
with stucco center-pieces in the front
rooms. The plastering throughout was
done by Mr.. Pethrick, and is first
class job. A fue leads from each of
the rooms. These and the foundation
were built by Mr.. Ranke and Lose.
The painting and granting was done by
Mr.. Crins, and the carpenter work by
Mr.. w. E. Boone, the contractor; both
of which reflect credit upon those
gentlemen. We believe that all will
admit who inspect the premises, that
Mr.. Burmistcr has tho neatest and best
building, for the purpose to which it
will be devoted, in town.
