CINCINNATI, May 16.-The conference
committees of the two labor conven-
tions have been unable as yet to reach
a harmonious conclusion. They will
ask the conventions for an extension Of
time, and will meet again at 1 O'Clock
this afternoon. The Greenbackers have
definitely abandoned The intention of a
fusion, and will to-day make their
proclamation to the people showing
their position in American politics.
CINCINNATI, May 16-The United
Labor Convention met to-day with
about 100 delegates present. The COM
mittee on resolutions made an informal
report on two points, the eight,hour
law for letter carriers, and the re-
demption of government bonds; but
the report was tabled to allow DIR. Nc
Glynn, from the conference committee,
to make his report. The doctor
reported that the committee found the
Union Labor committee disposed to
union (cheers.) He said he thought the
union was feasible, so far at least as the
two committees were concerned, and
he would add that it was dependent
somewhat Oh the temper with which
the two conventions received the par
tlal report of their committees. There
was necessity for still further discus
sion. The report of the committee was
received and continued. There being
no further business that could with
propriety be entertained until the final
report of the committee on conference
was received, the convention ad-
journed till Up. m.
The Union labor convention met at 10
am. and completed its permanent
organization. John Seitz, OF Ohio, on
taking the chair, declared that the sal
walton of the country depended on the
success of the labor movement. He
counseled but little platform making
and the avoidance of everything but
national issues. L. H. Weller, of Iowa,
tried to pass a revolution against a
fusion with the Republican orDemocratic
party, but failed, and it was referred to
the committee on resolutions.
Adjourned till pm.

Bazaine's Romance.

The death of Marshal Bazaine ends one
of the most romantic careers in the history
of the century. Under Napoleon Ill he
rose TO the front rank, and his military
ability and HE genius Tor intrigue were
recognized by his royal master, who gave
him the command OF the disastrous Mex
lean expedition. Bazaine withdrew from
this with only one acquisiuon-A wife who
remained true to him IN many rcverses.
There is good evidence 20 show that he
followed Napoleon's orders in Mexico,
and that the abandonment Of MaMmliau
was part of these orders it was in the
Franco Prussan war that Bazainc next
emerged for buef interval as commander
of the French iorces, aud it was under his
leadership that I75. 600 men were shut up
in the fortress Of Metz and there surren-
dered-Lhe greatest capi,ulation OF modern
times. That surrender gave the death
blow to Bazaine's military reputation, and
after the war he was tried 10y a French
court. martial and sentenced to degrade.

The Story Of erumbIe lone.

There was a boy Damed Grumble Tone,
who ran away to sea.

sick as ] can be!
A life upon the bounding wave will suit a
lad like MEL
The seething ocean billOws failed TO slim
ulate his mirth,
For he did not like the vessel, or the dizzy,
rolling berth,
And he thought the sea was almost as un-
pleasant as the earth.
He wandered into foreign lands, he saw
each wOndrOus sight,
But nothing that he heard or saw seemed
just exactly right,
And so he journeyed on and on, still seek
ing for delight.
He talked with kings and ladies fair. he
dined in courts they say,
But always found the people dull, and
longcd to get away,
To search for that mysterious land where
he should like to stay.
He wandered over all the world. his hair
grew white as snow,
He reached that final bourne he sought.
The reason would you know?
The reason was that, north or south,
where'er his steps were bent.
On land or sea, in court or hall, he found
but discomfort:
For he took his disposition with him
everywhere he went.

HaH PRICES DoN'T SCARE.

Who ever heard of worl<ingman
being deferred from migrating to q
country where employment is
plenty and wages high because the
cost Of living was higher than in
the place where he lived ? We ven
ture to say no one. All workingmen
are unconcious political economists.
Without studying the tones Of
Mills, Smith and other writers on
economic subjects, they grasp with
facility the idea that these learned
men have expressed, that the labor
or always has made good to him in
increased wages the increased eX-
penditure to which he is subjected
in high-priced countries. They also
know 10y sort of intuition that the
higher the wages Of n workingman
the more chance he has of rising in
the world, aud that his fellows are
absolutely shut out from such
chances in low-wage countries.
Under the circumstances is it not
prcpostcrous to attempt to delude
men possessed of this knowledge
into the belief that the change to n
low-price and low-wagc system is
desirable TO them? The Chronicle
thinks the utter absurdity Of the
attempt will be made manifest on
the 9Th of November next, when
the workingmen will cast their
votes for high wages, with the full
knowledge of the fact that when Il
man has good wages and plenty Of
work he has no need to concern
himself about the prices of things.

THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

The law provides [Sec. 1852, Stat
utes Of Oregonl that the assessor
shall assess all property "at its true
cash value" True cash value shall
be held and taken to mean the
amount such property would sell for
at voluntary sale in the ordinary
course of business and not what it
would bring at public auction or
forced sale. The law also provides
that all Indebtedness within the
state shall be deducted.
"The present system Of taxation
is the most unjust and unequal sys-
tenn ever promulgated into law by
legislature" says the Astoria PiO-
neer. at opens the door for fraud.
1t puts a premium on dishonesty.
1t compels the small property-own-
ers to pay the bulk of the taxes.
The majority Of the Improvements
on property in the business portion
Of the city is not assessed at one half
its rental value. The fault is not
with the assessor, it is with the Gus
tom heretofore established in this
state. From this statement Of facts,
has the taxpayer any right to kick
at his assessment? If there is any
unjust law that needs repeating it is
the Oregon law Of assessment and
taxation. We hope the representa-
tives to the legislature will bring this
matter up at the ensuing session
make an assessment law that will
compel men to be honest, that will
be assessed and compel asses
sors to assess all property at its true
value, and repeal this dishonest
swindling scheme of deducting in
debtedness from the assessed value
of property. If the property of
Clatsop county was assessed at its
true cash value, and there was no
allowance for Indebtedness, the tax
levy for all purposes, instead of being
4 per cent. would be l per cent.
When the people talk of immigra-
ting to a state, or capitalists want to
invest in any public or private en-
terprise, they always ask, what is
thelrate Of taxation% Comparative |
tables show the rate to be higher in
Oregon than any other state in the
union. Why? Simply because we
have the most corrupt system of
taxation of any state in the union.
1t is abouC time that this evil was
