The Philosophy and Nc ccssity for

panics, We have shown, cannot be pre-
vented by any kind or quantity Of cur
renCy. Neither Is il desirable TO prevent
them. They bring general settlement,
and serve TO warn the commercial COM
muni,y that general settlement is lncvita'
bic, Thus, even in our most prosperous
aud speculative periods, the memory OF
the last panic aud the dread Of the next
will help to keep business nearer TO a
legitimate basis. Without them, credit
would have no limit, honesty no value,
legitimate skill In trade no attraction, and
faithful labor no reward. Let the aver
GEe man understand that his butcher and
bis baker, his landlord, and his washer
woman will trust him forever, and he
srraightway becomes dGmOral2!d and
good for nothing. Because he knows tho
hill must come, and must at last be paid
or there will be panic, he works and
earns money. Now, y commercial panic

A Joke on Nathan Golf, Of ClarRs-

Ohio for their kindness in taking care Of

Secretary Of the Board and sent on to the

Facts for the People.

As tho virtues OF medicines can only be ascer.
talned by careful observation, Il Is TO DO regret
cd that many Of the Drugs, still prescribed BY
some physieiars should retain place In our Ma.

drug. Balsam Copabla, furnishes an example:
About the year 1900, tho spaniards In the Island

prevailing notion at that lime, that the remedy
might be found where the disease originated.
Under this impression, Balsam Copabia came
into use, but never hiss q nAuseating drug done

OF the disease to more dreadful state than the

RATES FIXED BY THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION.

The following rates of valuation Of
the property described. as fixed by
the State Board Of Equalization, will
be found Of very general interest.
Through the kindness of the Board
we are enabled to place the results
of its labors thus early before our
readers. The action of the board in
the equalization of the assessment Of
agricultural lands has been as fol-
lows: M t
An addition of 25 per cent. was
made to the assessment of such lands
in Linn and Lane counties: An ad-
dition Of 20 per cent. in Benton,
Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Ma
rion, Polk and Yamhill: An addition
of 15 per cent. in Douglas, Union,
Wasco and Washington; An ad-
dition Of 10 per cent. in Curry, Coos
and jackson; and an addition of five
per cent. in Josephine. The lands
of the European and Oregan Land
Company were equalized at 81, 80 per
acre in the counties of Benton, Lane,
Linn, Polk and Yamhill; at 81, 80 in
Washington; and at SIPS in the
counties of Clackamas, Marion and
Multnomah. The Western Union

equ.lized at SIS, ,8O3,SS 3 per mile

Wagon Road Companies were equal
lied at $1,26 per acre, except in
Wasco county, and there at 40 cents
per acre. The assessment Of horses

tional in Benton, 12 in Clackamas, 15

ExnRclsnp, ANp No MoNpnR.

! The Salem Statesman is consider
ably exercised over publication in
the New York S,m relating to Attor-
ney General Williams. Itreiterates the
statements of a correspondent of the
Oregonian that the SUR article is a
SANDER, penned through personal
spite against the Attorney General
General denials to specific allegations
are bad. The Suns article comprised
few very plain statements Of mat
ters easily disproved, or denied, at
least, ii not true. The facts make
their own charges. For instance,
Attorney General Williams went
to Washington poor. His sal
ary has been more than sufficient to
meet the expenses of his life in Wash
ington, yet he is now rich man--es-
timated to be worth half million
dollars. He has purchased a house
and lot, for which he paid Sl00, ,OO0.-
There are certain presumptions arising
from these facts that are cry unfavor-
to the General. If a man is found
in this city selling fine imported ci-
gars for less than their duty, the law
presumes that he smuggled them, and
it puts upon him the onus of showing
his innocence. The presumption of
public opinion is equally strong
against an officer who accumulates i'm
mense riches while in tho public SER
vice, particularly if it IS at a time
when extravaganza and corruption
pervades the Administration OF the
country. But Attorney General
Williams has even more than this pre-
sumption to contend with. Here are
definite and specific charges existing
in his case. They are most serious
and easily to be established-one of
them, if untrue, can be overcome by
reference to judicial records The
,SuN states these facts in the form Of
interrogations?
l. How does it happen that the At
torney General is one-fourth owner in
the Richmond Granite Quarry, and
how did it happen that'the Richmond
Granite Quarry Company secured the
contract for supplying the materials
for the new State Department, vast
building which is costing the govern
ment millions?
2. How did it happen that the At
tvrney General is interested in most
of the Washington companies that
have secured valuable paying contracts.
3. How did it happen that the At
torney General was mentioned as one
of the defendants in suit brought
against the Seneca Paving Company,
short time ago, and that the suit was
subsequently abanGonedP
Here is an explanation of Attorney
General Wiliams's riches. True, it
is discreditable to him, but it must be
admitted that is satisfies the inquiry.
Is the Attorney General interested in
the Richmond Granite Quarry, and
has that Quarry Company secured the
contracts mentioned; and was he
defendant in an action brought against
the Seneca Paving Company These
are plain questions. The answer to
them disposes of the entire natter
The special champions of the Attor-
ney General. certainly, might employ
very few short words for such a pur'
pose, while they find it convenient to
employ so many elogantly-turned SEN
tences to explain why the charges are
made.

BARNUM AND THE LITTLE CRIPPLE
The Cleveland Plaiudealer tells this
charming little story about the great
Snowman: p. T. Barnum's love for
children is proverbial. In Cleveland
little fve-year old cripple at q
friends house became quite favorite
with the veteran Snowman, and the
child has learned to expect q visit
from his kindhearted patron i'm
mediately upon his arrival in the city.
One morning the little fellow was all
excitement as the doorbell rang and
Mr.. Barnum stepped into the sick
room. The usual greeting followed,
but shadow came over the invalid S
countenance as he remembered his
inability to attend the menagerie. =
"Never mind" said Mr.. Barnum,
eff you cannot go to the show" the
show must come to you," and then
departed. Presently the child, and
indeed the whole household was
startled at seeing procession of
elephants, camels and dromedaries
walk quietly past the house, and
halt in the back yard. The little in
valid was wild with delight, and up
on being held up at the window,
cheered merrily at the novel specta-
Gle. The performing elephants gave
a matinee, and the beautiful child
bolstered up at the window gave bis
orders with the air Of a prince. In
half an hour the procession reformed,
and under the care Of their keeper,
the docile but ungainly animals
marched quietly back 10 the menag-
erie.

tlons; from l04 Oranges in California,
there. were also visiting brethren from
CT Oranges in Oregon and Washing

In his address, the Worthy Master,
Wright, spoke on the subject Of rail
roads and monopolies, as follows:
1--WE do not make war against rail
roads and other internal improve
ments, but agains. the spirit of their
management. We do not make war
upon mere concetrated capital, called

Capital and labor must 60 hand in

of any country. But we oppose the
tyranny of all such monopolies as be-

monopoly without making it op-
pressiye, we say don't create it,
If we cannot correct any existing
monopoly so that it will cease to be
oppressive, we say, put it down, if it
can be done. We do not make war
on Just freights and fair profits, but
only upon those which are made ex-
orbitant and burdensome by the men
who handle our productions and sup
ply our wants We do not wage war
against fair rates of interest, but we
do not think it right for the moneyed
men Of our land to get from twelve
to twenty.four per cent upon their
loans, aud spend their days in tapes.

On the relation Of the order to poll.
tics, he said:
"The Oranges are not political or

the discussion Of political questions
inside the Oranges, but as farmers,
who in the past have been an oppressed

too silently, we are allowed to say
this much III our present system OF

SEEING IS DEcEIvEG.-Hero is n
row Of ordinary capital leetters and
figures
Observation-Disclosures
They are such as are made up Of two
parts Of equal shares. Look care
fully at these, and you will perceive
that the upper halves of the char.
acters are gerry lWie smaller than
the lower halvcs-so little that an or
binary eye will declare them TO be Of
equal size. Now turn the page up
side down, and, without any careful
looking, you will see that this differ
ence in size is very much exaggerated
that the real top half Of the letter
is very much smaller than the bot
tom half. II will be seen from this
that there is a tendency in the eye To
enlarge the upper part Of any object
upon which it looks. We might
draw two circles Of unequal size and

pear equal.
