A. q. r. Livesay has an interesting
and convincing article in another col
umn upon county uniformity OF text
books. In our opinion the general
public has had too little discussion of
this important subject, and Mr.. Live
says article is timely and convincing.
July % is the time provided by law
for holding annual school elections
and school patrons will be asked to
vote upon county uniformity of text
books. The benefits to accrue are so
apparent. as shown by article in
question, coming from an experienced
educator, that school patrons should
give it particular attention.

WHY DO THEY HESITATE?

1t cannot be that President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle think that they
would be disloyal to their own pal ty
II they should recommend an increase OF
duties on imports to meet the necessities
OF the government. A deficit OF $42,O0U,-
coo last year, q deficit of $17.O0O,VO0 this
year, and yet not word about amend
ing the revenue laws On the contrary,
both affirm that there is no need OF
amending them. The affirmation says
the one thing and the facts the other.
The platform upon which Mr.. Cleveland
was elected reads thus: I'VE declare 1t
to be a fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that the federal gov
ornment has no constitutional power to
impose and collect tariff duties except for
the purpose of revenue only and we de-
mand that the collection of such taxes
shall be limited to the necessities Of the
government, when honestly and economi-
cally administered"
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle will scarcely deny that, although the
government is honestly and economically
administered the revenue, as the figures
show, is not adequate to its necessities.
Yet instead of acting upon the platform
OF their own party and seeking the need
ed money where It can be had most di-
rectly and without adding a penny to the
debt of the country, they ask authority
to add both to the principal and interest
of the public debt for means to meet cur
rent expenditures.
Why do President Cleveland and Sec
retary Carlisle hesitate to act upon the
platform OF their own party? If they
should do so and get the required revenue
through the obvious and constitutional
channel their political opponents would
not thereby be pronted in the party sense.
The credit would be their own
Why do they hesitate?

San Francisco Post.
Il was on stage that runs up through
Napa county few days ago." says At
torney Martin Stevens, when passed a
farmhouse with a half dozen boys play
rig in the yard outside the gate were
half a dozen fat pigs with tin cans tied
% their stubhy tails, The cans were
filed with rocks and ratified like cow
bells every time a pig moved. The pork
ers stood glaring at each other while try
ing TO make up their minds whether to
run and squeal or stand still and grunt,
why do they put weights on the pigs
talls?" inquired young Englishman. who
was going up into Lake county TO learn
ranchng.
Ito keep 'em from runnin' all the fat

driver
oh. ya-a-s, novel idea, by Jove,' ex-
claimed the Brltisher.
Just then we passed a couple of dogs
that were trying to gnaw the tin cans
Off their tails,
"'But why do they put weights on
their dogs tails asked the BrltIsher,
who suspected the driver OF lying.
Why, to keep them from chasing the
hogs. OF course,
He was satisfied that he had much to
learn about ranching.

SO Major c. N. Clark of Missouri, has
won his place on the river ard harbor
committee. The editor of the Oreg
ought to feel remarkably happy after his
persistent backguardlsm Of Mr.. Clark
when visitor to our state Some months
ago, and after the coek-sure predictions
that he would not stand the least chance
for committee position On September
Srd the oregonian stated editorially:
Mr. Clark, epresentative-elect from
the First district Of Missouri and aspl-
rant for place on the river and harbor
committee OF the next house, continues
to repeat In various newspapers Of the
Northwest the statement that II Is Inn
possible to maintain navlgable channel
between Portland and the sen, and that
money expended for deepening the Co
lumbia liver is wasted and stolen from
the government"
After limiting that Mr.. Clark was finan-
cially interested In the stand he took, the
article concluded:
These betrayals viii not advance Mr.,
Clark's ambition TO sit at the table of the
river and harbor committee In the house
OF representatives. 1t Is not customary
to invite gentlemen into that committee
for purposes OF private speculation, 1t
II not customary to invite new repre-
sentative to sit upon the COMMITTEES In
order that he NAV tear down large enter,
prises OF commercial development upon
which the federal government has been
at work for years. In order to advance
the interests Of himself and his bus ness
associates. When the river and harbor
committee OF the next house comes to he
made up. Mr.. Clark, OF Missouri, prob
ably win have reason to regret the pre-
mature and lndiscreet candor with which
he has shown his hand"
Mr.. Clark however has no reason to
regret anything. It seems as II Mr..
Scott has.

One of the suggestions brought for-
ward with view to expediting the work
OF the house Of representatives In dlspos.
ing Of the large number OF contested
election cases Is that there should be
more than one committee on elections
appointed. To do this, a change In the
rules would be required Without some
such arrangement II will doubtless be out
OF the question to dispose of all the elec-
tion cases In a reasonable time. Several
years ago Mr. Reed put himself on record
as favoring the settlement OF such cases
In the courts and II is possible that he
may urge congress TO take some steps in
that direction at this session. OF course,
nothing can be done In time to AFFORD re-
lief for the present house. but the great
number Of contests and the burdens they
Impose may incline the majority to look
with favor on the plan which the speaker
has advocated, though many Republicans
would regard It as serious mistake for
the house to delegate the power OF decld-
ing upon its own membership TO any In
ferlor court.

The Astorian said edltorlally on the 2nd
of September:
Senator Mitchell and the editor of the
| Oregonian may think Major Clark man
of very little influence, and that he will
cut no figure even If appointed to the
river and harbor committee, but the AS
torian can inform these gentlemen that
Major Clark will befound to have far
more influence, both at home ard in
Washington, than either Senator Mitchell
or the editor of the Oregonian. In the
section of country that Major C'ark
comes from the squandering of money to
open new channels every day through
sandbars forming in the Mi 'siss'ppi and
Missouri rivers, out of funds voted by
congress for the permanent Improvement
of these waterways, Is a thing abso ut ly
unheard of. And after coming out here
and discovering the manner in which con-
gress has been annually imposed on and
the public treasury swindled for the ad-
vantage of few of Senator Mitchell's
wealthy supporters in Portland, Major
Clark will not be true either to his own
immediate constituency or the people of
the United States II he fails to use his
utmost endeavors to prevent any further
looting of the treasury In the intere-t Of
these men and the one-horse town in
which Senator Mitchell happens to live
and have his money invested"
Major Clark, by easily obtaining his
position on the harbor committee in spite
of the 'ponderous" and terrible" opposi-
tion of the oregonian and Mr.. Mitch Il,
has fulfilled one part of our prophecy.
His honesty and ability as member of
that committee will show our Portland
friends that appropriation jobs for keep
ing in repair the Willamette mud creek,
will be met and defeated at every oppor-
tunitv
