On examining the assessment rolls 1T
Ihurston county for the present year,
we find that the amount for which the
various candidates for offices on the diff
icr,nt tickets are assessed are as follows
Rtpubllcan ticket, $3S, oil; Democratic
ticket Sl44S9; Peoples ticket, $9,1lS.
The latter includes the full list Us it
stands at present, including Republican
and Democratic endorSements.-P ,rti-
san.
This, if it means anything, signifies
that those who own the most property
and pay the largest amount of taxes,
are the most suitable persons to be
entrusted with the management OF
public affairs. Taking the total as
scssments OF the tickets RS given by
the Partisan, and dividing each OF
them by eleven, the number of county
offices to be filled, We find that the Re
publican candidates are, on an aver
age, worth $2,62S, the Democratic can
didates worth $l,3l7 and the Peoples
candidates Sol y each; that is to
say, the average Republican candidate,
measured by this scale, is 100 per cent.
more fit for Office than the average
Democratic candidate and over $50
per cent. more eligible than the aver
age Peoples candidate
Even the average assessed value OF
the Republican candidates, $2,62S, is
not very large sum, and if the assess
mcnt roll is the right standard by which
qualification for office should he de-
tcrmined, We think that our Republi-
can friends might have done much
better in making up their ticket, and
to have been consistent should not
have defeated such men as Messrs.
Barnes and Phillips, for delegates to
the county convention, to elect people
who paid none, notably Mrs. Hanson
and Prof. Roberts. But taking their
ticket as it is, it seems to us that they
have not ut all distributed the offices
according to the scale by which the
Partisan measures the three tickets.
For instance, they have placed Mr.. G.
II. Foster, who IS highest On the roll
and pays taxes on more than one
fourth of the total amount accredited
to the Republican candidates, at the
bottom OF the ticket, as Wreckmaster,
while they have given the best Office
in the county, that OF Auditor, to Mr..
Tweed, whose assessed valuation is
$3.50, and one of the most important
offices, that of Probate Judge, to Mr..
Root, who pays no property tax at all.

Correspondence of the Washington Standard
We feel as though we were enjoying
the old-fashioned Indian Summer.
DIR. Russell, whom we mentioned i'll
our last week notes, left here for Ia
coma by Tuesdays train, to consult
the medical fraternity there. In the
absence of DR.. Newell, he consulted
other physicians, who pronounced no
bones broken 10y his being dragged
from the buggy, but his suffcrings did
not lessen as time wore on, and he felt
convinced something was wrong about
the shoulder.
Mr.. John Shelton is spending few
days at Yclm for the benefit of his
health. We hope to see him return
with renewed vigor.
Last Tuesday the citizens of the
place expected great things from the
great speakers announced to accom-
pany Bradshaw here. At 10 A. NJ, the
large hall was pretty well filled, and
Mr.. Crosby was selected Chairman.
He first introduced Mr. Bradshaw, Re-
publican candidate for Congress. We
have simply nothing ut all to say
about him. He probably is good
citizen, but if our admission as State
into the Union depends on oratorical
powers, then indeed are our chances
slim. Mr.. Brents followed with II few
remarks. He was pretty hard up for
illustrations, and probably was feeling
as though the inner man needed re-
freshment, when he had to resort to
an almanac for the story of the old
darkey eating Il pot of axle-grease for
cheese. We would like, however, to
inform the gentleman, and also his
predecessor, that the candidate Of the
third party has knocked down the
fence of the slaughter-pen, so that he
who was feasting in clover may prob
ably change places with his less fortu-
nate cOnfreres. 1t is written, you
know, that "The first shall be last and
the last first. Lawyer Hanford, from
Seattle, was next ON the programme.
His remarks were good SO far as they
went, but we think it useless to take
up space in this valuable paper with
further accounts of this travelling
troupe. Hon. w. A. Newell, Peoples
candidate to Congress, stands ON his
own merits. He need not tell us what
he will do for us if we will but send
him to Congress. We all knew what
he has done heretofore He has
served his people honorably and hon.
estly. You have but to look at him
to discover that integrity and upright
ness are on his face. Ladies of
Washington Territory and Knights of
Labor, don't be misled by the howery
addresses of the other parties, but
fearlessly and determinedly stand true
to your man. W.

CHICAGO is very much worried over
the development of cattle disease in
the distilleries there, having the
characteristics of pleuro-pneumonia.
Leading citizens, members of the stock
exchange, held Il secret meeting and
resolved upon its extinction. 1t was
agreed to kill the diseased animals and
hold a post mortem on each. The
stock-yard men protested against their
being exposed in the market either
dead or on the hoof. Evidently, from
the cOmmOtion that was created about
the affair, the situation is decidedly
serious to the stock interests there.

IT is reported that Senator" Can
field, Republican candidate for Coun-
Gilman, at the close of speech in Ma
son county, called all " the boys" up
to drink, nearly hundred in num-
Der, and laid On the counter so cents
to pay for the treat. 1t must be very
apparent that he either has Il very low
estimate of the value of Mason county
whisky, or is practical advocate of
the Kentucky style of treating.

THE Oregon City Couricr says that
Mount Hood can be assembled 10000
feet, but that the remaining 1000 feet
to the summit is tapering cone
whose sides are So steep that no hui
man being can scale its heights. This
somewhat distuIbs the impression Gre
Gated by those climbing tourists who
have claimed through the press to
have stood on the topmost pinnacle of
the hoary old sentinel of the valley.
1t may be, however, that the raritied
air of clOudland has had the same eff
feet on their imaginations rs has in
variably the aromatic brcezes of sylvan
resorts where big fish in such countless
numbers are drawn from the ripping
waters, and that they really believe
they have vanquished foes that ne'er
appeared" Our confidence in promi-
nent members Of the newspaper fra
ternity who have accompanied so
many of the Notwithstanding expe-
ditions forbids the idea that they have
deliberately lied, so like the modern
theologians, we endeavor to adapt our
facts to the conditions requisite for Il
tangible belief.

Gov. SQUIRE TELLS ABOUT OUR
HoPs.-A special dispatch from New
York states that Gov. Squire, OF Wash
ington Territory, said in conversation
=" Washington Territory is the finest
hop-raising country in the world. We
will raise this year about 10000 tons.
The growth per acre is simply enor-
nous. We have buyers out there
from every part of the country. Men
from Utica, Richmond Springs, o.
wego and other hop-raising counties
in New York State, are buying their
hops from us this year, as the New
York crop has proved a failure.
Transportation is cheap to New York,
and under such circumstances it would
be useless to compete with us, as we
produce more than double the auan.
tity per acre than you do here. One
hop farm in Washington Territory is
the largest in the world, being over
300 acres in extent"

IT was really difficult to determine
whether the Flambeau Club or the
spectators were most pleased over the
torch-light performance, Wednesday
evening. 1t is quite certain, however,
that the torch-bearers had considerable
labor to perform in making the dis
play, while the bystanders could see
how the thing worked without blow
ing out their brains to raise the highest
flame in the excitement of responding
to an encore.

IT seems that the Republicans must
have had II little of the assessment"
fund left over from the old rule to pay
for the powder and coal-oil burned
Wednesday evening at their demon
stration. 1t may be, however, that
the Presidents order applies only to
Democrats, and that the Republican
hold-overs are still pursuing their old
methods. This is certainly true of the
Clerk of the District Court, who took
such prominent part i'll getting up
the demonstration. If he is not an
offensive partisan" in the broadcast
sense, there never was one.

A Mans Face Cat all to Pieces wish y
Beer GLASS.
At one O'Clock this morning Michael
Ryan OF No. q Canal street, and Andy
Henry Of h 'son and Montgomery streets,
two longshoremen employed at the Red
Star dock, were drinking In Smiths saloon
On Hudson ssreet. They argued, but in
apparent good humor, till all of sudden
Henry dealt the other a terrific blow Ia the
face with the heavy beer glass ne held in
his hand. The glass flew into fragments
and Ryan fell like struck OK. Henry fell
lowed up the assault with second glass,
breaking that too into . thousand frsg-
ments. Oilers in tina saloon rushed in
and took the blood-thirsty beer drinker
away. The wounded mans face was cut
in hundred places. One cheek was
slashed from the eye down to the corner
Of his mouth Before he could be lifted
he was so covered with blood as to be un-
recognizable He was carried in an un-
conscious condition to Calnpbells drug
store, and the hospital ambulance was
summoned. The physicians say that he
will probably die Henry fed after the
assault, but as the police know him ard
his haunts he will probably be in custody
before daylight. The assault is said to
have grown out of an old grudge.
