our UNIVERSITY.

Recent University troubles in Oregon
should have one effect at least-ths: of
calling the attention of Washingtonians
10 our own University. These institu.
tons of high learning are not entirely
commercial in character, but ere large
ly bencfccnt. Giving more than they
can possibly receive from those directly
benefited. outside aid becomes . neces.
sity Of their continued existence. They
must have it, and have it bounteously
and constantly. or languish and suffer.
IN fact. it is impossible TO aid them too
much. The most richly endowed col
legcs are % rule the best. What Is
true elsewhere in this regard must be
true here T1e State University Of
Oregon is just now taking the shine
ont Of oil others. 1t has been generous
iy helled and honestly managed, and
it is sntering upon . course certain in
the near future to place it far in the
lead. by tho exercise Of . prudent
business foresight and the offer Of fair
and just compensation, i. is assembling
around it q corps Of instructors by far
the most eminent in the State-John-
son. Condor. Catch. and men Of their
kind. The consequence is that it is
gathering in tho youth from oil quar-.
ters. from under the very shadow Of
Pacific and Willamette Universities -
we'll o from the beck woods and more
distant sections. The sane thing will
occur here under like circumstances.
The time has again come when our
boys aud girls are getting things in
readiness 10 seek an education abroad
which they have hitherto been unable
to obtain ut home. st. AIMS Convent
at Victoria, st. Helen's Hall and the
Bishop Scott Grammar School in Port
land. the California State University n
Berkeley and xcClurs's Military Acsd-

the score. The money spent in going
to and returning from these places. in
addition to the tuition, would greatly
assist our own University, and enable
It to give higher aud more complete
education than is to b, obtained in any
Of the institutions named except the
University at Berkeley. The Territory
should consider this school in its true
light as ward OF the Territory, and
It should nourish it as a loving parent

should give a. many Thousands. Presi.

FOR THE RELIEF OF DELINQUENTS.

We publish this morning bill introduced
by Mr.. Wells, in the Senate, for the relief OF
delinquent taxpayers, and to annul sales of
their property made to the State.
The benefits OF this act are conditioned on
the payment, prior to July next, OF all taxes
collectable during the present year, and on the
prompt payment OF taxes annually thereafter.
A compliance with these requirements enti-
ties the delinquent taxpayer to the privilege
OF paying the taxes due by him In three equal
installments, as follows. to wit: The first on
or before July /, 1880; the second on the same
date In 1881, and the third In 1882. He Is also
relieved from all penalties due by him. and
his property already forfeited to the State is
restored TO him. In case OF failure to pay
current taxes as they fall due the benefits OF
this act are forfeited, ipso facto. Finally. all
back taxes are made payable in State war
rants where parties comply with the condi-
lions precedent, as prescribed in the act.
What disposition should be made of the
oelinQuent tax-lst has been subject of dis
cossion in the Legislature for several years
past There are many grave considerations,
involving both the State and the delinquents,
.aas eater into the discussion. On behalf of
e soase, the main poipt is TO collect as much
~ snese back taxes as possible: but In at
snp'ihs TO do this, Injustice to taxpayers
VINO have promptly paiA up must be avoided.

confiscaticn. There has already been q
large amount Of property forfeited 10 the
State which will not be- redeemed
unless some relief is afforded In the premises.
and which, unless redeemed and so long as
the delnauents remain In possession will
never yield cent Of revenue to the State.
What IL TO be done with this property This
IL the grave question with which the Legis-
lature is confronted In the treatment OF tliis
matter. IL cannot be sold to third parties,
and M the law stands, taxes are yearly aec'I-
mulating without the slightest prospect OF
realizing even what Is already due. Inc only
possible relief will he to offer Inducements 10
the delinuuenta, who have never been us
possessed to redeem their property, square
their accounts with the State and start again
on a new basis.
II IA folly % urge that this proposition
which extends privileges TO delinauents not
enioyed by prompt taxpay ers. Ia an Injustice
60 the latter. what is Of benefit to the State
ia necessarily beneficial 10 this latter class
II must be assumed that those persons who
have defaulted ON their taxes and. thereby.
heavily encountered aud even forfeited their
property, have done 80 because they could
not help themselves. Their property cannot
be sold by the State to third parties, and to
disposses them would be wanton and pur-
poseless cruelty. We can gee but one way out
OF the dilemma and that ia to offer such per-
sons every inducement to redeem their prop
erty and make 1t again taxable.
This act appears to us TO be better calou-
lated TO accomplish this end than any other
we have seen. AZ general proposition. we
are opposed to making the warrants Of the
State receivable for taxes. yet, In view or the
difficulties we have shown to lie In the way Of
enforcing the collection Of back taxes and the
penalties incurred by delinquents, we see no
reason why these taxes should not be used,
II possible. to get rid of portion of the States
floating debt.
For these reasons we trust that this bill
will receive serious consideration at The hands
Of the Legislature. Il will certainly afford
great relief to dellnquents, and we believe
that. through this relief. the State will be
greatly benefited.

part of st. Paul, and Richard Chute, Thos.
Lowry, D. w. Woodmansee, Z. L. Corser
and H. Whitney on the part Of Minneapolis,
mot at the Nicollet house yesterday, at 2
O'Clock. After two hours discussion, in
which all was harmonious and pleasant, a
resolution was offered by j. w. McClung to
the effect that both cities should unite with
all other portions of the State in making
the next State fair success at some point
between the two cities; that local jealousies
and local interests should yield
to the interests of the State,
and that as basis of union the net pro-
ceeds of the fair should be divided between
the Northwestern Agricultural and Mechan-
ical association and the State Agricultural
society; that in order to make the fair still
greater success, Dakota, Montana. Manitoba,
Oregon and Washington be invited to join
with us in making grand exposition of the
products and resources of the entire New
Northwest. This resolution was seconded
by Thomas Lowry, ESQ.,, and without MAX
ing any objection or further discussion, Mr..
Chute suggested that the LIST of September
was still far in the future, and that we now
adjourn to act further upon this resolution
at q future meeting to be called by Mr.. Kelly,
the chairman of the joint committees. All
agreed that haste was not desirable and that
it would be best to go slow, and not take
step in advance of the public sentiment of
the two cities; that the committees were
making commendable progress, and the d.
viding lines were nearing each other. There
was no difference as to all future fairs after
this year. In the meantime all conceded
that further strife should end upon this
subject gs4I1

ST. PAUL TRADE. !.

OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,
ST.. PAUL. Feb. 26. {

A moderately active movement is reported in
the several departments of mercantile trade
for the week just closed, and for this season of
the year, business is reported generally salts
factory. The volume of transactions, however,
have been necessarily light, and the present
may be described as the period of preparation
or organization, as the majority of houses are
actively engaged in arranging for the spring
campaign, which, for reasons stated in a
previous issue, is anticipated with unusual
interest
The actual amount of patronage experienced,
as above intimated, has been exceedingly light,
and, with one or two exceptions, values have
not materially changed since the previous
weeks quotations.
The most notable change, perhaps, is appli-
cable to the grain and provision market, which
has continued to rule active, while the leading
staples have experienced general advance in
prices. The above is particularly true of the
grain and pork markets, which, under an active
speculative demand, have ruled firm and
higher.
Advices from the seaboard and intermediate
speculative points, show that Eastern opera
tors have purchased extensively during the
past twenty days, with the object in view of
running a corner; the nature of the movement
being wholly publish" The probable out
come of the corner is at present matter

The demand for oats has been unusually
active, and with light supplies have realized a
further advance from previous quotstions.
The market for corn, barley, mill stuff, ETC.,
has also been active, but with liberal offerings
prices have generally ruled steady.
The several descriptions Of hog products
have been in good demand, and with moderate
supplies values have ruled firm and higher.
Business at the leading grocery establish
ments is reported as satisfactorily active, while
prices have ruled steady at previous quota
tions.
An active week is reported at the principal
hardware houses. and the volume of transac-
tions show notable improvement as compared
with the week preceding.
The dry goods trade has been quiet, and OPP
erations have been chiefly conducted with a
view to meet the requirements Of the trade in
the near future.
The leading drug, houses report an active
business, and collections are made with ordi-
nary promptitude-the same being applicable
to the different departments of trade in general.
Business with the boot and shoe dealers has
been quiet, and the demand for footwear has

The demand for leather and findings, hides,
furs, wool, ETC., has been moderately active,
and prices have continued steady at previous
quotations.
