Commissioner of Agriculture r. It. Mes
bitt, IS sincerely anxious that Georgia
shall make fine exhibit at the proposed
southern exposition at Chicago. His am
bition is very natural, and he should be
given every reasonable assistance and en-
enlargement Georgia is really the great
state of the south, and therefore should
lead in all enterprises and undertakings
Intended to promote the development OF
the south and the happiness of her peo-
pie.
At the recent Atlanta fair Georgia show
ed what she can do in the way of making
an exhibit. and she can do equally as well
at Chicago. We have no doubt that such
an exposition as is proposed would at
tract much attention, and result in giving
the south a first-class advertisement.
There are thousands of people in the west
who are ready to come south for the pur-
pose of making their homes here. and they
will come if convinced that the south Of
fers them advantages superior to those
they have at home. The only way to con-
vince them is to show them what the soil
and climate of the south are like and what
the southern states produce.
We are sure Florida will be on hand at
the exposition. She is an up to date state.
If Georgia should fail to be there in the
best possible shape she would have occa-
sion to regret it.

You VIII Forget


From the Pail Mall Gazette.
You will forget-a few swift hours
Fortune and fame, and all to WOO
And ere the bloom forsakes the flowers
The lips you kiss have kissed for you,
And ere to-morrow's sun is set,
You will forget.
You will forget-a mile or So
And out of sight is out of mind;
The easy tears soon cease to flow
When lifes before and loves behind;
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet,
You will forget.
You will forget-in other years
When you behold that white starshine
We see so dimly through the tears
When you shall pass these doors of mine,
Or that dear spot where first we met,
You will forget.
You will forget-let me love on,
You have been all in all to me;
So when the past is dead and gone,
Like some golden phantasy,
Let me love on, to pay my debt
You will forget

Secretary CarIisIe's Speech.
From the Philadelphia Times QnG.

Even those who dispute the executive
judgment of Secretary Carlisle-some hon
estly. but more from partisan prejudice
acknowledge the singular ability. the
clearness and eloquence with which he has
from time to time presented the principles
of sound finance. His speech at Chicago
ranks with those he made in Kentucky
last year Ii is a convincing argument
based upon the facts of experience, against
the fallacies of bimetallsm and the silver
standard and in defense of an honest cur
rency for the United states.

Yaquina Bay Channel.

Contractors are looking forward
to having an opportunity to bid on
the work of deepening the channel
at Yaquina bay before long, as
Senator Mitchell has introduced a
resolution to find out why the con-
tract for this work has not been let.
There is an appropriation of SIS, 900
for putting more stone on the jetties
at Yaquina, but the million or more
dollars required for making ship
channel into the harbor there has
not yet been appropriated, or its
expenditure ordered under the con-
tract system. Captain w. L. Fisk,
United States engineers, some time
since forwarded to the chief of
engineers a project for the proposed
work at Yaquina, but it has not
been approved by the secretary of
war, so the whole matter is Gin the
air" as yet. AS to when the secre-
tary Of war will approve the project
or whether he will approve of it at
all, or not, no one can tell,-Ore-

While outside last week we had
the pleasure of having a short talk
with Hon. Z. R. Lake. Mr.. Lake
is the member of the lower house
of the Oregon legislature, in which
Lincoln county has a sort of pro-
prietary or joint interest; some
thing like two-thirds or three-fifths.
Mr.. Lake, though, is a very nice
and affable man, and will, no doubt,
give Lincoln county as good a
representation as she could reason
ably expect from any joint repre-
sentative who is not resident of
the county. MIR. Lake made some
inquiries about the fish law, and
what changes, if any, are needed
in this county. He stated that he
had had some letters from parties
from this county asking that the
open season be extended fifteen
days. He thought it would be
we'll if the parties really interested
would hold meeting and determine
upon what changes are needed in
the present law, if any. Mr.. Lake,
also said that he was a Mitchell
man for U. S. senator, and he
sincerely hoped that the election
of a senator would occur early in
the session, SO that the Legislature
could have some time to inaugurate
some needed reforms.

A NEW ASSESSMENT LAW.
To be Proposed at the Next Session
of the Legislature.

Senator Mulkey, of Polk county,
has compiled a new assessment law
which he will introduce and work
to secure its passage this winter
The principal points of the bill are
given by the Dallas Observer, as
follows:
''It provides for the assessment of
all property of whatever nature
Except school houses, etc belong
ing to all persons, firms, corpora
tions or syndicates. The mortgage
tax is practically restored. All
credits are assessed. The owner of
the land and the mortgage each
pay taxes according to his equity
in the land.
1t makes the debtor the agent in
part for ascertaining credits, and if
any debtor pays taxes on any
amount he owes another, such pay
ment of taxes will be considered
part payment of the debt.
1t makes all property assessable,
and if any person or institution
fails to give in their assessment the
assessor shall make all arbitrary
assessment of the same, which shall
be deemed valid assessment. Any
person or institution wrongfully re.
turning to the assessor his property
shall, when the fact is ascertained,
be rightly assessed and then 20 per
cent Of such valuation shall be added
as a penalty for such violation of
duty.
The assessor begins his. office
work January of each year. The
county board of equalization meets
August and continues i'll session
not less than three days nor more
than three weeks. After the work
of the county board is performed
the county court can. make no
changes in the assessment.
A summary Of the assessment
only is sent to the Secretary of
State for the use of the State Board
of Equalization. This saves the
state through its counties about
SIS, 900 a year.
The state board of equalization
as now composed is abolished. The
duties of equalizing the assessment
of the counties being vested in the
governor, secretary of state and
state treasurer. In equalizing the
various county assessments they
shall, without consideration of the
various kinds Of property assessed,
add or deduct such a per cent to
or from the total valuation of each
county as will be necessary to re-
store equality. This will obviate
the necessity of the several county
clerks making the changes usual
on the assessment roll. For county
purposes the levy and collection Of
taxes will be made upon the assess
meut as equalized by the county
board of equalization. This method
of equalization will save the tax
| payers $4,000 each year, and will
serve every purpose Of the presen
method.
1t provides that the origina
assessment roll with the clerk
warrant shall be the basis Of the
collection, no copies of the rol
being made. This saves the stat,
through its counties $4,000 pc
annum. ~
The treasurer is made the ta1
collector up to the point of delih
quency;, the sheriff collecting onl!
delinquent taxes
/ The tax collector is charged Oh
his bond with all taxes placed ii

to array the people Of one part against
those OF another by appealing TO Sec

quoted were uttered by William McKIn-

Endless Watson referred to his contem-
porary. Mr.. Scwall. In the following
chaste language:
''Sewall Is wart on his party. He Is

No further evidence Is necessary TO
prove that Tom Is just the man to pre-
side over the United States senate. His
parliamentary terms would not only de-
mand the attention OF the senator's, but
would hold the ear OF every person In
the visitors gallery. We anticipate a
session of the senate with Vice PresI-
dent Tom in the chair:
The question Is on the amendment In
troducnd by the Gumboll from Michigan.
The able Ealcot in the clerks desk will
cali the roll.

The letter OF acceptance Of William
Jennings Bryan. which appears in this
mornings paper. will be n dIsappOint-
ment to those OF his supporters who
had expected something which would
stamp him as a statesman worthy to
sit in the Presidential chair. 1t has but
one merit and that Is It's brevIty. It's
contents arc extremely ordinary. and its
composition Is. like Mr.. Bryan's speech
cs, simply ".low OF Words
1t was expected that Mr.. Bryan would
follow the precedent adhered to by all
the nominees OF great parties and dis
cuss the issues OF the campaign, giving
his reasons for his support0f his party's
platform. This he has not done. lie
merely contents himself with an en-
dorsement of the platform and briefly
announces what each plank Is, Accord
Ing to his construction, without an argu-
ment In support OF that construction.
e A striking feature. II. Indeed. II may
be said that there Is anything particu-
"a Ihf'i' 10 thi' h'NNiifS

passing notice, and in language which
attempts to disguise their real meaning,
There IS but one reference TO the issue
which Mr.. Bryan and his supporters
| say IL the real question OF the campaign.
1t Is in single sentence which says
that the tariff cannot be regarded ny an
Issue until the money question Is settled.

nm would present In hlJ letter an clabo-

for one single purnTrnph which lays
down principle In support Of that doc
trinc. In short, the letter reads very
much as II 1t had been written in Il hur-
