Political Assessments.

THE tariff upon federal Office
holders, as fixed by the Congress-
ional committee, appears to be two
per cent OF their salaries. This
first demand is for the probable
purpose of helping Cameron in his
desperate struggle in Pennsyl-
vania. Other levies upon the in
comes of officials will doubtless
come in rapid succession. If men
want to give their money to help
a::political party it is matter that
concerns none but themselves.
Office holders, who make a living
by the help of a party, can well
afford to contribute something
towards its campaign expenses.
But tine corrupting system which
has long prevailed cannot be sup
ported with such plausible reasons.
The demand is of such nature
that loss opposition wonld prob
ably follow a refusal. Salaries
have, for the most part, been ad-
justed with regard to the demands
commonly made by party mana
gers. In public service, men are
usually paid more than they could
receive for similar services in pri.
vate life. Thus are the people in
directly taxed to supply party
funds; to pay the hire ofstumpers
for free whiskey for loafers, to Sc
cure disreputable "work" for the
bosses who manage the machine

THE congressman from those
states which are concerned in the
maintenance of a high tariff, seem
to have agreed to reduce the
whisky tax. The surplus Of revc-
nue. is so great that there is no ex-
cuse for neglecting TO retrcnch,
and the most natural way would
be to lower the tariff on goods i'm
ported from foreign countries.
But that interferes with the mon
eyed interests of the east, and it
will not be done until the seat of
political power is transferred to
the west. Consequently, the
tax which can best be borne
is to be modified, which will pro-
pitiate the distilling interests, but
be of no appreciable benefit to the
great mass who deal in liquors or
use them.

THE German ship Fritz, which

six feet of water. She can not
carry full load out of the Colum-

If such vessels as the Fritz could
come into the Columbia river and
take away full loads, we would
have much cheaper freights to
Europe on the average than at
present. Such freights as 81

A pxxoc.Aric VISION.

Many Democratic nswspapers OF the
country profess to see in the present
division OF opinion on party matters
among Republican leaders disruption
Of the party. the organization Of a nav
party on entirely different principles
from either Of the old parties now exist
ing. and the final success OF tho Demo-
cratic party in 1884 as . consequence.
To these far-sssing journals Arthur aud
Blaine are anticipating the breakup.
and each is secretly working to master
the situation and bs the foremos, man
when the crisis shall come. To this end
is attributed the delay OF President Ar.
thur in removing the remaining mem.
bers Of Garasld's Cabinet and appointing
men Of his own choosing. and . like
delay In filing many Offices Of minor
importance throughout the country, and
particularly In the South. where the
seeds Of the new party have already been
sown.
The tragic event which has made such
disruption possible to the Democratic
mind will tend to strengthen rather than
weaken the Republican party. That .
faction Of the party should become mas
tiers Of the situation through an unfsrs-
seen circumstances which deprived the
majority Of their chosen leader. and the
country Of the fruits Of what would
doubtless have been the grandsst admin
istration OF the national government in
the history Of the county had Garfield
been spared to serve his term. 10 greatly
to DO ~dsplorsd; yet the whole party will
sustain President Arthur In his admins.
traiion upon all questions involving the
interests and integrity Of the nation.
The disssnsions and bitterness which
may exist among the leaders Of the party
are but the natural outcome Of Garield's
tragic death aud the subsequent frustra-
ton OF his well-laid plans in the adop-
tioa BY his successor Of an entirely dii-
fsrsnt policy. not in accordance with the
wishes OF the people who elected him.
The present bitter feeling may continue
for . time. but. as the News has claimed,
the next National Convention will act
with such decision that q mistake similar
to that made BY the last Convention in
the selection Of their standard bearers
will be impossible.
Whatever tho d~issensions in the Re.
publican ranks ct present, the Demo-
Gratis need take NO comfort. nor make
useless calculations OF the benefits likely
to accrue to them. By the next national
election. II not before. the Republican
party will be solidiAsd. not disrupted.
and the vision Of Democratic control Of
the national government again dispelled.
