"THE WOLF AND THE LAMB"
A Correspondent Refers to- the Ore
gonian's Course Toward Astoria.


The following communication will be
found self-eXplanatory:
Astoria, Jan. 0, 1894
Editor of the Astorian:-
I was glad to see and read the inter.
view with Mr.. Wingate published in
todays Astorian regarding the assaults
Of the Oregonian against the state
board of equalization, but think that
had Mr.. Wingate gone further into de-
tails in referring to the valuation plac-
ed upon the Perkins hotel in Portland
and upon the Flavel building in this
city, the gross inequality of the tax
would have appeared in a stronger light
For instance, the Hotel Perkins in Port
land Is assessed at $45,OOO. 1t is a six
story building, furnished with electric
light, steam heating apparatus, an(
elevator, besides Office and bar furni-
ture and fixtures. The lots are together
100 feet square, and the basement
is finished with cement. The Flavel
building in this city, is assessed at $23,
500, is three stories, lot 50x10O feet,
with dirt floor basement and only gas
fittings, and not furniture In the store
rooms or offices above. The fixtures
alone, in the Perkins Hotel building,
Mr.. Wingate might have said, cost more
than the entire Flavel building, which
is situated in town of 5000 inhabitants
while the Perkins is in the heart Of a
great and growing city of $4,000. And
still that wolf is bowling at us pool
sheep. TAXPAYER.

Mexican Dip1Omatists Doubt the Gem
trail American Federation Rumors.
The reported plan Of Mexico to unite all
the Central American states In one great
republic is doubted at the Mexican Legal
ton here. The reports state that Gen.
Exeta's visit to Mexico II part Of q plan
for the comprehensive scheme for the ex-
tension of the new republic from Texas to
the Isthmus of Panama, end 1t is added
that all the states save Guatemala favor
the union. 1t is said, however. by the
Mexican authorities here that they have
never heard such a plan suggested in Mex
leo and that no negotiations to that end
have ever been made among the Central
American states. On the contrary, Mexico
has, they say, quite enough territory al
ready. Gen. Ezeta's visit 10 Mexico is be-
lieved to be due to the fact that he Is a
Mexican by birth. Afterward, when he
became president of Salvador. he maintain
ed close personal relations with his native
country. II Is believed that his visit has no
political significance, either as to the re-
ported union or MeXicos alleged purpose
Of furnishing him an army with which to
re-enter Salvador.

A FAIR ESTIMATE.



Of Power In the Next House.
With DO many congressional districts as
there are in the doubtful column. there Is
room to figure out in an estimate on the
next House most anything desired. OF
about forty-two districts which no one can
classify with certainty, the populists will
probably have from eleven to thirteen. and
the rest bid fair to be pretty evenly divided
between the two great parties.
Present indications give . very uncertain
basis for judgment. Two or three weeks
may bring about an entire change IN the
aspect Of things.
what appears to be the outlook in the var
tous districts at this time. makes Il appear
q very close fight. with the indication OF q

SUING FOR A MILLION.


Tacoma Claims to Have Been ssvindied
BY a Light and Water Company.
TACOMA. Wash, September 27.-The city
Of Tacoma has begun suit In the superior
court against the Tacoma Light and Water
Company for q, UOO.OO0 damages tor alleged
false and fraudulent representations in the
sale OF its light and power to the city for
N,75O.0O0. 1t Is ALLEGED that the plant Is
found to be not as represented, and the
complaint mentions the persons who made
the false representations as T. Hosmer,
president Of the company: c. B. Wright,
the Philadelphia millionaire and its chief
stakeholder: q. H. Sellers of Philadelphia,
the companys engineer, and I. w. Ander-
son. Mr.. Wrisht's agent. who is a Northern
Pacific director.
1t II set forth that the company falsely
represented that the Thomas and Patterson
springs. when extended, would furnish the
city with valuable and sufficient water
supply by gravity. to the amount of ten
million gallons per day: that the springs do
day, and are utterly worthless to the city;
that the plant is not now. and was not at
the time II was sold to the CITY, of greater
value than $75O.OOO, and that this was well
known to the company and its agents; that
the city bought the plant fully relying upon
the representations made by the company,
and that 1t was. IN effect, swfndled out Of
81 .OOO.OOO. In which amount the city was
damaged. ard now Seeks to recover. The
plant was purchased July /, 1888, the city
paying for 1t in bonds. For months the city
attorney has been collecting evidence in the
case. and 1t Is expected that 1t will be the
hardest battle ever fought by any state.

CommfssaOner Herman In Making 9
Synopsis Of These Proposed.

COmmfssaOneF kePnnM In Making n
"a SynOPsls Of These Proposed.
Commissioner John d. Herman of New
York. one Of those appointed by the Presi-
dent to investigate the Pullman-Debs
strike, has been mainly engaged in making
synopsis Of the remedies that had been
proposed to the commission. Mr. Herman
says: There were many remedies suggest
ed during the testimony. but the main ones
were the government ownership Of rail-
roads. the licensing Of railroad employees,
similar to the system OF licensing steam
boat engineers and pilots. arbitration, and
the restriction Of immigration. Mr.. Pull
man suggested no remedy, as he takes the
position that no outside remedy can be
brought In between employer and employed.
The commission Is free to deal with the
questions Of remedies outside Of those sug-
gested at the hearings. but the testimony
brought out every conceivable plan and IL
Is not necessary to go beyond those sug-
gested
1T will be for the public to say whether
the inquiry results In benefit," added Mr..
Herman. but 1t will certainly be beneficial
In giving the public exhaustive informa-
ton on the causes and Incidents of the
great strike, and intelligent Information ia
the first step toward remedial legislation"

recalls to mind the recent sad accident
whereby a small child. playing on the street.

there is no such public reservation within a
radius Of a mile-Lincoln Park a mile north
and Garfield Park a mile west. In this
section OF the city the houses have small
gardens and children are forced to play In
the streets and run great risks. Conclud-
ing. she says: The spot mentioned Ia
avoided by pedestrians. and known as .Sa-
hara' in summer and Siberia In winter.
To convert this desert into a playground
for 1.0oe or more children must certainly
commend itself to the warm. generous
hearts Of the Commissioners. We taxpayers
In the eastern part OF the city ask little
from the general appropriations. and get
much less"
Want Water street Cleaned.
W. H Tenney & Sons OF Georgetown
have written to the Commissioners request
ing them to have Water street GEORGETOWN

nue.. He states that the above streets are
In, very bad condition. and as a resident
and property owner in Brightwood Park he
requests that this matter be given immedi-
ate attention.

vanced so that the meeting can be held in

lions were issued last March. Since then
some of the South American countries have
accepted The United States has as yet
neither accepted nor declined, but 1t is
hardly likely to accept at this late day. II
is felt now that the time set for the con-
ference was too soon after the invitations
and this may lead to an extension Of the
date, SO that the United States and other
