The proposition, suggested we be-
lieve by Mr.. Herren one of the Re-
gents, to sell the present University
building and site at Seattle, and select
a new site outside OF the city, meets
with very general favor. The present
grounds are too small and the location
Is too near the busy tide OF life for it
to be in all respects desirable for a
permanent institution of learning.
The present site will sell for enough
to secure ample grounds and erect
much better buildings.

Washington Takes The Broom.

The OrCgonida says that Secretary
oil State Mcbride estimates the total
assessed value of taxable property in
Oregon for the present year, in round
numbers, at 100000, 0Oo. an increase
oil $l5,O00,000 over the valuation OF
last year. Compare this, dear reader,
with the return for our own Territory
oil an Sl2oOO0,000 aggregate and
Tio,oo0,oOO increase. Secretary Nc
Bride is evidently impressed with the
significance OF this contrast, for he is
reported lis saying: a see that
Washington Territory boasts OF Sl25,-
100000 and looks down on Oregon.
Washington has the figures, but not
the valuation that Oregon has. Our
pernicious assessment system is to
blame for the smallness OF the
figures" 1t is well to have a scape-
goat, and probably pernicious as
sessment system" will serve for one
as we'll as any other device. The fact
is, that there is practically no differ
ence between the methods OF assess
ment i'll Oregon and Washington.
Much property is undervalued, and
much escapes assessment, in State and
Territory, and it is notorious and
generally acknowledged fact that the
"full cash value" OF property when it
passes under the assessors judgment,
here as elsewhere, shrinks fully one
half, and in some instances to much
less than one-half its current market
value. AS long as the ratio for assess
ing Territorial tax is based upon a
fixed amount and the county levy is
left to the discretion OF the Commits
sioners with wide range between the
minimum and maximum rates, this
must necessarily be so. The county
will not suffer from low valuation,
when it can fix a levy that will raise
quite as much money as lower one
would on fair appraisement of public
values. This plan is general, and has
been in vogue for many years, and it
is fair, therefore, to assume that Ore
CONS system of assessment is not a
whit more " pernicious" than our own.
A balance of $4,000 600 represents the
difference between the respective as
sessed values and this would increase
correspondingly as they were aug
mented to anything like their real
proportions.
Washington will, however, need
every dollar of her phenomenal in
crease, and for it to continue at a
corresponding ratio for q number of
years to come, to pay the expenses of
her nickel-plated and gold-knobbed
system of State government. The
next tax levy will show the people
precisely the kind of pig that is in
the poke. Then they will begin to

A Great Merchants Weakness.

"A pathetic story" says q London
exchange, sis told Of the late Mr.. Ry-
lands, the Wellington of Commerce,
as he was called, whose death has just
been announced. Almost up to the
last the old man, nearing his ninetieth
year, insisted upon personally con-
Quoting the concerns Of the great es-
Establishment he fou nded in Manchester
nearly seventy years ago. Every
morning he would be driven to his
Office, and with the kindly connivance
OF his managers and head clerks made
believe to direct affairs as he used to
in former years. One day recently,
when the end was growing very near,
he was driven as usual to the Office.
When no was helped out Of the car
riage and looked up at the building,
he turned to re-enter the carriage,
exclaiming pettishly: No, no; want
to 60 to my own place He did not
know the palatial building in which
his later fortunes were cared for, and
his falling mind, suddenly turning
back for sixty years. saw tho modest
building, IL New High street, Man
chester, in which he had started. That
was his place.. and that was where
no insisted that the puzzled coachman
should take him."

Lovers OF Fine China.
At present most Of the Pekih sup-
plies of old china, faience and objects
of art are drawn from Shensi and
Shansi, but, as is becoming evident,
the supply will not hast much longer,
and it is desirable that some other
provinces should be induced to part
with their treasures. ...
Shantung has been pretty well ex-
plored; Chilli, Pekin excepted, is not
supposed to be artisticaIly rich. In
3.onan the store of beautiful things
must have boon sadly diminished by
the floods which devastated the most
wealthy districts. In Sechuan, Kuei-
chow and Kansu war and rebellions
have made great distinctions, al
though Cheng-tu ought to repay ex-
ploration; and in Kiangsu. Chekiang,
Human, Hupei, Anhui, which, like the
two KuanEs, suffered much in the re-
bellions and iIternecine wars, the
stores left do not amount to much.
In Pekin there are still some beauti-
full collections, but they are becoming
rare. as the process of dispersion has
gone on apace.. Some old families
have some superb pieces Of ceramic
art, but in Pekin, as in other capitals,
it often happens that the family es-
tates, carefully preserved during cent
uries, perhaps, at last falls to q prodi-
gal son who wastes all with riotous
living, sells the most cherished pos
sessions, and finally retires to we'll
merited poverty. The great collections
in Pekin have. in too many cases, been
dispersed, and those remaining are
not now numerous. Chinese Times.
