SOUR GRAPES.

Speaking of the law that requires that
expenditures of the several county courts

county having the largest circulation,
the Wasco Sun says: cit is to the
credit of the newspapers of Wasco

for such service-the CHRONICLE alone

legitimate news in it's columns-while
papers generally throughout the state

The Intense Brilliancy of Lirhtn,n,

One consequence of the short duration
of lightning is an apparent diminution
of its brilliancy. 1t has been proven
that light cannot produce its full effect
on the eye unless it remains at least as
long as one-tenth of Il second; but light
ming lasts only the ten-thousandth part
of second, and it follows from this that
what we see is 100000 times less bright
than it really is.
When we recollect that even thus di-
minished its brilliancy is suck>as to
cause temporary blindness if too closely
watched, we may feel grateful that we
cannot see it in its true vividness, for
our human powers of vision would be
too weak to bear such sudden and
overwhelming illumination-Elec

CANLID JOURNALISM.

The Portland Telegram of a recent date
had this to say
Some of the democratic papers are
denouncing the proposed republican
gerrymander of Ohio as infamous.
"Softly, brethren, the democrats did the
same thing two years ago, and you
applauded, or approved by silence. If
it is not right now it was not right then !;
if it is not right for the republicans it
was not right for the democrats. Let us
be candid dEonsistent. a
Z Such statements as the above may not
make the Telegram popular with demo-
Gratis who are too blind and too bitterly
partisan to be capable of seeing anything
good in republicanism, but they will
tend to make the Telegram respected
and esteemed by the fairminded of all
parties. Nothing is lost in the long run
by candor and honesty.

Saving on Rent.

A young literary man of New York,
like most of his craft very impecunious,
has discovered means by which he
lives respectfully and yet cheaply. As
heis hard worker, he values quiet
above all things except, money. ,Conse-
quently he always seeks a secluded spot
for his abode. In winter he lives in the
country where board is cheap. At the
beginning of the warm weather, when
most people are leaving town, she takes
up his residence there in a retired street,
where he is permitted TO occupy room
in house deserted by its occupants for
the summer at nominal price. He
finds the town in summer rs quiet and
delightful as he does the country in
winter. and urges all his friends who are
no better off financially than he is to
initiate his way of living. Yet some
people maintain that literary men do
not know how to spend their money
judiciously.-New York Epoch.

COUNTY oFF1ClALs.
FINDINGS IGNORED.

The county court of Multnomah
county has decided to ignore the find
ings of the state board of equalization in
raising the assessed valuation of various
forms of propelty in that county. As
soon as the findings of the board were
made the county judge addressed letters
to leading attorneys of Portland asking
for advice as to how the court shodld
proceed. Opinions were rendered by
the law firms of Dolph, Bellinger, NAL
lory & Simon, Stott, Boise & Stott, ex-
Supreme Judge W. W. Thayer and ex-
Attorne, General G. H. Williams.
There was general agreement on the
following point: First, that the state
board had no authority, in making the
levy of state taxes, to consider anything
other than the assessment rolls second,
that the board had no authority to
divide real property into distinct classes
and raise or lower the value of real es-
tate by said classes, and third that the
findings of the state board were errone-
the county courts of the several coun-'
ties. The chief objection to the findings
of the state board was on the question
Of taxing mortgages at their face value
instead of fifty per cent as has been the
custom for years. On this subject Judge
G.. II. Williams says:
Mortgages in this state are declared
by law, for the purpose of taxation, to
be real estate, and they are SO treated
by the board of equalization, and the
tabulated statemt mt of the board of
equalization shows that all mortgages,
everywhere in the state are assessed at
more than -one-half it's real value. So
there is a plain discrimination against
the owners OF mortgages and in favor of
the owners of real estate, especially of
agricultural lands; not because all mort
cages are worth 100 cents on the dollar,
and lands only so cents on the dollar,
but the discrimination is evidently ar
bitrary, and it lie fair to assume that it
was made on account of the ownership
of these respective properties.
To hold that such system of taxation
as is indicated in the tabulated state
ment of the board of eqalization is valid
under our constitution is to hold that
our constitution with reference to taxa
tion is without meaning and effect.
The state board had raised tile assess
rment of Multnomah county in the sum
of $13 1884 ,675 over that fixed by the
assessor. Nearly eleven millions
of this sum represent the increase in
mortgages and "money, notes and ac-
counts" II is reckoned that by ignor-
ing the work of the state board Multi
nomah county will have to bear $l33,-
.S46.16 less of the states. expense. The
question is what will the other counties
do? Portland will fight the matter to
the bitter end and with only one result
The law creating the board will be de-
clared unconstitutional and the work of
the board invalid. As matter of sim
pie protection other counties will have
to follow the example of their big sister.

of the Sun against what it terms 'sblood
money" will be appreciated when it is
known that the entire cost per annum
to Waseo county for publishing the
statements required is about $50.
Viewed in the lightof the fact that some
county courts have been accustomed to
conceal their accounts OF expenditures
from the people the law compelling their
publication met with general approval.
1t is worth every cent it costs and more
and there is scarcely voice lifted against
it in all this land except by obscure
papers like the Wasco Sun whose circu-
lation is such that they could not obtain
the job. The Sun must not be allowed
to make a virtue out of a necessity:
The only reason that no paper in the
county but the CHRONICLE was an appli-
cant for the printing of the county ex-
penditures was that no paper in the
county had any show to get it in compe-
tition with the CHRONICLE. And the
Sun knows this is go and the Sun is mad
because it is so. Hence these tears.

The Best Corncob Pins.

The corncob pipe is the sweetest in the
world; but the only way to have,i it in
perfection is to make it yourself.
Get large corncob that has not been
used for any other purpose. Break it
into in the middle. Hollow it out with
your jackknife. Bore a small hole at the
bottom of the hollow and then insert a
little reed stem which you can buy for a
penny.
There is your corncob pipe-the
sweetest that was ever smoked. -Cincin-

spins a cocoon of orange-colored, silky. gossa-
