WHY

1t Is said by some of the Portland
papers that "the greater per cent of
the immigrants pass through here
and go to the Sound" Oregon is
and has been, tor several years, quite
rs well advertised as the Sound
country. The pamphlets furnished
by the board of immigration, and
OF agriculture and by real estate
agents of Oregon are the most COM
plete, minute and satisfactory ever
sent out from any country. The
desirable immigrant makes his way
speedily out of the city and into the
country, to the smaller towns, there
to prospect where he can get some
land to cultivate, or mayhapa a cheap
home where he can begin his trade.
About one half of the inhabitants of
Oregon are already in its towns.
And by liberal legislation we must
invite the home builders of the
country here. This we have not
done.

A NAVAL SITE.

A writer in the Astorian gives q
description of Young's Bay, which
if accurate would make it one Of the
finest points for navy yard to be
found in the United States, as well
as one of the best situations for q
great harbor. Besides there are sew
eral channels a mile long more or
less and from eight to ten hundred
feet vide with depth at low tide of
from twenty to fifty feet, leading to
other harbors, tone Of which far ex-
ceeds anything that Portland can
boast of. In all those waters the
bottom has such soft, light silt so
easily moved out, that those chan
nels and harbors can be widened
and deepened with almost no labor"
The writer claims that this grand
has always been over
looked and deprecated. fit is as
described a great city will yet rise
there.

WILL NOT DOWN.

Some ideas will not down. You
may make war on them, you may
legislate against them, you may
formulate your barbarism into a
creed and demand worship under 1t,
you may watch every demonstrating
lip and crush the life out of the
thinker and raise your idiotic none
sense into shibboleth or an idol
and demand sacrifice and incense
but the very stones will rise up and
cry aloud against it and even the
winds will laugh at you. You can
not make holiness of rot, wisdom of
idiotic drivel, nor wrong, right.

ANOTHER PRODIGY.

Oscar Moore, the colored prodigy
of Texas, is but four years old. As
an arithmetican he is phenomenon
equal to the celebrated Colburn.
The most profound calculations are
made by him instantly. His judg-
ment is supernaturally good. At
the public exhibition in Chicago
printed cards containing 1000 ques-
tions, with the correct answers, were
distributed among the audience ;
they read questions at random, and
the boy promptly gave the correct
answer. He told the population of
China, Siberia and many other for
eign regions, reciting many facts in
history, repeating the alphabet back
ward and rendering a poem with
all the tone and correctness of a
put, of course, with no
idea of the meaning. He counted
up to twenty in Latin, Welsh, Chi
nese, Danish and Polish and then,
with all comicalities of the burlesQue
stage, delivered a speech on the
tariff.

BY preconcerted arrangement
the regulars of the medical fraterni-
ty are making war on those they
call quacks all over the Union. The
center and original starting point of
the war seems to have been Boston.
A bill similar to that which Just
passed the Oregon legislature is now
being fought about in the Massachu-
sets state house. Vast sums Of
money are put up on each side.
The regulars have petitions signed
by first families who represent some
fifty millions of dollars. Perhaps it
is vain to protest and show that all
legislation is folly. 1t becomes a
dead letter, is evaded, or if not, its
effects demoralize the people mas
much as it directs them to depend
on the law and police instead of their
own judgment.

RUMOR has it that Russell Sage,
Jay Gould and one or two other emf
nent railroad operators contemplate
gradually withdrawing their funds
from their present Investments, pre-
paratory to heavy operations in real
estate.-EXchange.
And rumor is right, though it
may be a little premature. Long
ago it was foretold that just as soon
as it became worth their while, the
monopolists would combine to own
all the land. Land ever has and
ever shall be the foundation of aris-
tocracg, whether of blood or wealth.
The time is coming when all that
class now known as farmer must
become tenants. Small holders will
be squeezed out just as small rail-
roads are now lserved. Up to this
date the monopolists have proposed
to have others pay the taxes on land
while they took all.the surplus pro-
ducts. The situation is changing.
Nothing is SO reliable as the land.

Differences OF the Tariff Bills.

Computations made by the Treasu-
ry Department show that the effect
on the revenues of the Mills bill would
be a reduction taxes of $67, 7,960,579,
of which amount $50,350,3i5 would
be from tariff taxes, and $l7,6lO.234
from internal taxes on tobacco. &C.
The Senate bill makes total reduc-
ton of oaly $i7,ss2,667. of which but
$l3,976.S .SS7 Is from tariff taxes, and
$33, ,905, $50 is from Internal taxes. In
other words, the republican bill re-
duces the tax chiefly upon luxuries.
such as tobacco and whisky, and main.
tains the tax on the necessaries Of lif-,
while the democratic proposition is
to reduce taxes chiefly on the necessa.
ries Of life and to less extent on lux
uries. This truth can be put in an
other way. The average ad valorem
tariff rate under existing law is 4691
per cent; under the House bill it
would be 42.3S per cent; under the
Senate bill 46 per cent. The Senate
bill does not, therefore, materially
lessen the burden that rests heaviest
upon the masses of the people of all
ages and both sexes, but only the bur
den upon grown males who use tobac-
co and intoxicating liquors. 1t is not
difficult to decide which Of the two
bills is most in the pu bIic interest and
which is for the benefit of trusts and
other monopolistic combinations. The
Senate bill greatly increases the tax
on metals, the estimate being that the
revenue under that bill would be $780,
5S5, ,569 on the articles which at pres
ent pay but $22,534,OO7. 1t makes
its chiefreduction on sugar, which, in
1887, paid $57, ,442 of tariff taxes,

there is the bounty given to sugar
