Under the new laws regulating the in
comes of county officers in the state of
Washington the cost to the taxpayers of
maintaining these offices is about one
fourth what it was under the old fee sys-
tenn which was similar to that which
prevails in Oregon. The sheriff of
Walla Walla county, for example, gets a
salary of 81 800 year. The sheriff of
such a county in Oregon would get not
less than $4,000 and possibly SIS, 900.
There is no complaint of dearth of can
didates in our sister state and there is
no proof that the county offices are not
filled by thoroughly competent men.
The same would be true of Oregon if the
incomes of the county clerks and sheriffs
were placed at reasonable fixed salaries
instead of fees so enormously dispropor4
tionate to the average capicity of the in
cumbents that clerical ability in a cam
didate is infinitely less qualification
for office than is the ability to command
votes. ~ l-.-sl

STATE OFFICIALS.

Under the date of Feb. 10th the As
toria chamber of commerce has
draughted memorial to congress in
tended as additional proof and substan-
tiation of the one recently sent by the
same body, relative to matters now pen
ding regarding proposed appropriations
for deepening the channels of the Will
lamette and Columbia rivers. The
memorial insists that the figures con-
tanned in the circular letter of the cham
ber of commerce, already presented to
the river and harbor committee, were
furnished by pilots whose business
necessitates constant and correct knowl
edge on these important findings; that
the proposed Improvement" if carried
into effect would impair the work at the
the mouth of the river by setting in
motion silt, sedement and gravel that
would create a bar which the govern
ment has recently and at great cost
successfully removed; that the proposed
channel is of purely local import, and
should not obtain an appropriation
which might occasion the cutting down
of those necessary for anterior protests in
course of construction, and that the pro-
posed creation of the sport of Portland
is contrary to the immutable laws of
nature and would result in detriment to
the RIPARIAN interests of our sister state,
by diverting the natural channel of the
Columbia river to the southern shore.
The memorialists claim to be actualted
solely py public motives in maintaining
that their former and present exhibit
show most conclusively the Injustice of
an effort to induce governmental dis
elimination against the needful interests
of the entire northwest, merely to aid
private and local project. They do not
oppose the Portland project but protest
against diverting needful appropriations
for work on the river now in successful
progress to apply to a new and impos-
sible task. There. can be no question
that Astoria is correct in her position in
this controversy. The figures furnished
by the chamber of commerce are taken
from recent surveys made by the pilots
and not from data furnished by govern
ment engineers years ago. The depth
of the channel in the lower Columbia
is fully adequate to all the necessities of
the present inland commerce. Till
other works of infinitely more general
Importance to Oregon, Washington and
Idaho have been attended to it will be
time enough to talk about the doubtful
project of deepening the channel from
Portland to Astoria

RATIFICATION MEETING.

The Republican ratification meeting
held in New York City on Tuesday eye
ming was attended by 5000 people, fill
ing the hall, and hundreds were turned
away, unable to gain admission. The
principal speaker was Governor McKin-
ley of Ohio, who was greeted with per-
feet ovation. He began by saying the
Minneapolis convention recorded the
conquering will of the republican party,
and continued:
BENJAMIN Harrison was chosen as
the standard bearer of the great party
because the voice of the majority of that
party thought he should be chosen, and
in our political organization the voice
Of the majority is the choice of all, and
we are here tonight. citizens of New
York and representatives from every
state and territory of the Union, to
speak words of ratification of the splen-
did work of that national convention
Republican national conventions never
make mistakes. 1t made no mistake
when it put in nomination for the first
time BENJAMIN Harrison OF Indiana to
defeat the chosen idol of the democratic
party in his own state and route the
entire democracy OF the Union 1t has
made no mistake i'll putting him in re-
nomination. He is tonight the embodi
ment of every principal of the Republican
party. We have a right to be cheerful
to- night when Lord Salisbury has given
adherence to our political doctrine OF
protection. and the New York Sun, in its
leading editorial column, TO-DAY inter-
prets the conclusion of the Chicago con-
Yention as the ratification of Benjamin
Harrison's nomination. In 1890 the
tariff law was but four weeks old and it
was the infant that the Democratic party
assailed. 1t was then too young to speak
for itself. 1t is nineteen months old to-
night and it is old enough TO do it's own
talking, and the talking that it is doing
is confusing to the Democrat and con-
founding to the demagogue. A voice.
'Three cheers for American tint Those
cheers are worthily given. for we have
got to-day twenty-eight tin plate indus
tries in the United States made possible
by the tariff law of 1890. And we had

were put up for a time, but they had to
