GREAT Political pressure is being
brought to bear upon Gsv. Moody
to call an extra session of the Legis-
lature to select o successor to Sena-
tor Slater. 1t is well known that
the Portland oregorsia's and few
other Republican papers favor Ex-
Attorney. General Williams, while
the Portland Ne,os and the majority
Of the Republican papers in the
State favor Ex Senator Mitchell. 1t
is worthy of nsts that it is the
friends Of the latter who are SO
anxious to have the Legislature
convened in q "spirit Of compromise
and concession" it being Of course
tacitly understood that the oppon,
ents Of Mr.. Mitchell will do all the
compromising and c0nceding. But
will they do this} One thing is
certain, that if the present Legisla.
ture succeeds in elscting q Senator,
one faction or the other will be
obliged to seat crow" to = humiliat
ing extent. 1t is significant also
that every. plea that is made in ia
'vor Of an extra session is based or
party grounds. It ought to strike
the average taxpayer as a worry COO
proposition to tax the State $50, 900
simply that enc Of the parties may
gain an advantage over the other
If the public interest demands al
extra session let us have it by al
means, no matter what the cos
may b. If it dses not, it woul
be worse than folly to incur such a
expense.

The present low price of wheat
il apparently uuaccountabls. The
shortage in the wheat crop of the
world is net denied by any. Ia
ths wheat growing countries of
Europe the crop is far below aver
age. India, instead of being for
midasle competitor in supplying
the European demand, is actually
threatened With famine. The sur.
plus for export in the United States
is far from sufficient to supply the
foreign demand. Wha. keeps down

The state papers very generally,
and we think with reason, object to
Judge Deady's decision that pre-
sn,ption entries can only be can
celled by due course Of law in the
courts. Heretofore registers and
receivers have cancelled these en-
tries upon due proof of the forfeit
ure of rights. If such is correct
Interpretation Of the law congress
should change it. It is no better
to cancel by decision of court than
BY the register and receiver, besides
taking such questions through the
courts is attended with much more
expense and long delay.

TEE present system Of assessing
needs amending. Perhaps it is not
possible to reach all the assessabls
property in large county without
sxpsnding more money than would
be gained by thorough assessment.
1t seems impossible, however, for
one man to do the work thorough
ly in the specified time. Deputies
are not responsible to anybody for
the manner in which they do the
work allotted to them. 1t is quite
probable that there are people in
Unstilla county who have never
paid any taxes. 1t is also probable
that some rich people do net pay
their share Of the common burden.
1t has been suggested that there
ought to be a board Of assessors for
each county, instead Of one assessor.
IL there was o board Of seven or
nine assessors, there would 'be soT g
among them, a majority probably,
who could not be influenced by
every rich man in the county, and
who would have disposition to
act independently. They would
thus support each other in deter
mination to make an assessment ac-
cording to which the wealth would
share in equal proportion with the
poverty of the coxnty, in bearing
the tax burden. There would not
be q political temptation for sc
many men to use ths office as g
stsppiug-atons to some higher place
1t 10 evident that the better an as
SCISSOR is acquainted with the local
Ivy which he is to assess the better
he will be able to perform his duty.
This weuld seem to favor the plan
of having precinct assessors. Afte,
they had each completed the work
in his precinct they could meet and
equalize the assessment of the coun
ty. Tie question is of sufficient
Importance to merit consideration
with . view to future legislation.

statement is read with interest that

justice of the United States among

the time of year prevents concerted
action respecting his visit being

however, will extend Chief J Justice
Waite the cordial reception given
by Americans to Lord Coleridgs on

that the presence of a judge J ct
