The almost unanimous approval of bar, press and people of Judge Bellinger's appointment must be most grateful to him. He certain ly can enter upon his duties feel ing that he has the confidence of the community. The very popularity and pleas ure of bicycling should be the main reason for not riding reck Itessly on the sidewalks. There is no quicker way to put a damper eh this exercise and destroy its hold than to-have a few accidents rc Bult from carelessness on the part of bicyclists. Ijt 1890 the United States had 843 cattle to the 1,000 population, in 1893 it has-775 head tr the 1,000 population. This would indicate that the price of cattle should be Higher than it has been. But then. It is not worth while to make pre dictions, cattle may be lower next year. 1 ' Two printers got held up by footpads in Portland the other night. When the crooks threaten ed to shoot if they didn't divey, the "prints" made a race down the street like quarter-horses- What the robbers ever expected to get from two printers is a puzzler; and what the printers ran so for to keep from, losing, is equally as mysterious. . According to reports Ironi down the Columbia the fishing season is now in full blast all along the river. An Astoria paper says: "There will not be very much trap fishing in the river this season. On account of the weather the trap men have been unable to fix up their traps, and it will be sev eral weeks before they can " get in any kind of shape. Thr most striking case of pat riotism; unrecognized is witnessed in the columns of the Lafayette Ledger,, which urges the fact that the best way to build up its home town '-is to patronize home mer chants,, whom it asserts are ustrict lyv honorable business men and you need not be afraid' that they witl'rob '.you." A glance at the Ledger's columns reveals the fact that one solitary merchant patron tees the paper. The jury' in the Bowker case disagreed, ten. being for aquitta and two for conviction. This wil give Bowker another trial with a sf fl 4 fl i A ' 1f noArt t- 7 a if. rkiin!fKnn Sach is life' and such are the tech mcautres in our laws.

' that adventurers like Martine and ; Baidiidger with a capitalization; of gall,, are able to establish themselves in tfce impor tant "function of banking and be coming custodians of the people's money.." . Of a numerous class of purblind political sciibbltrs in this country which the public has learned to aptly refer to as ca lamity howlers, is the Oregon City Uouner. .Discussing a law u r the punishment of tramps, i philosopher lashes himself into the finest of sympa'helic indig nation, which lie vents by draw ing a won picture of the following fashion: 'Conservative estimates place the number of well behaved, in dustrious laborers and mechanics that are without work in Portland at 1000. and in San Francisco at 10,000. ' The republican party is largely responsible for the con ditions that have produced hun dreds ol paupers for each million aire, and a far more logical con elusion from the party's polity would be to advocate the cutting up into cat and dog meat of every penniless man caught begging for work or food." That sounds savage enough; but let's see how the subject would look held up in another light: The Courier is a 32-column sheet long columns of which 16 are printed by the patent out side man in Portland. Thus two "well behaved, industrious labor ers" are robbed of employment the Courier shows on the face of it, by that paper alone. Ihe pat ent outside man has no use for those printers because the same type goes into a hum1 red other papers or more. Hie result is that of that 1000 "well-behaved induslious laborers," at least 100 of them are printers, who hover about Portland to keep soul and body together, because they have no hope of a livelihood in the in terior offices. If the Oregon City man is sincere in his over-slopping solicitude for the working-man, he can not only bring about a no small amount of relief at his im mediate command, but set an ex ample which, if generally follow ed, would bring about a mighty revolution. As it is with the printing business, so it is with every the face other enterprise OnjPurP0ses ana to provide lor the of the earth. We needs of the state by taxes on have made particular reference not as a flippant jibe or retaliatory accusation, but to illustrate a prin ciple. It is the tendency of the times in every industry to evade as much as possible the cost of labor in any production. The ac complishment in latter day in genuity has cultivated just about a complete craze in that direction. Every device, fad and factor that brilliant ingenuity can conceive, finds employment to the one end. The type setting machine, the self binder, electrical machinery in various forms, steam enginery - and steam laundry, and all the multitude of appliances calculated directly to supplant the hands of mankind not to mention the om nipresent "patent outside" ai an laminar wimesses m tne one great object of ignoring human labor. The moral result of it a! it is not our intention here to dis cuss. Ihe lacts as stated stand tor themselves. Now, then to charge that a political party "is largely responsible" for such con ditions shows either stupidity that is inexcusable in this enlightened age, or a blind devotion to par tisan mythology, which amounts to ignorance all "the more repre hensible. There might be such a thing as the "republican parly be ing responsible" for the part the Oregon City man is playing to wards making paupers. If so just let the Cleveland democracy- if possible once make a law for bidding the printing of "patent outsides," and you will hear such i chorus of malediction arising from the ranks of calamity howlers as has not been heard since the days of the "rebel yell." The American counsel have drawn first blood in the Behring sea case. The point which the tribunal has decided in Iheir favor, relating merely to the admissibil ity of certain documents, does nol affect the merits of the main ques tion, but it effectually disposes o! the English newspaper assertions that our representatives have bseii standing on frivolous technicali ties. It also show thar,-not with standing the overpowering reputa tions of Sir Charles Russell and Sir Richard Webster, a good Amer ican lawyer has no occasion to feel outclassed iu their company. In fact, if the distinguished barrif ters mentioned deserve to rank as heavy-weights, it would seem ad-j visable to invent a new class for Mr. Carter and his associates. Those 'frivolous technicallilies" were worthy of being sustained by the tribunal, it noted. TllVilSUl'IS. TAX IDEA. Single tax means the exemp tion of all personal properly from taxi ion and the derivation of all slate and federal revenue lrcm an imposition on land values. It is but just to c ml'ess that the ad vocates of this idea include a num ber of men of superior intellec tual ability, like Mr. Henry George, and it is an interesting subject of theoretical discussion, but in New York state where it has been most throughly discussed, it has won no supporters among the farmers, and intelligent skille 1 labor, like Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, have pronounced against it. The people in the older states of the country are not willing to carry it into effect, and certainly the single tax idea must expect a cold reception from the people of a new country such as the Pacific states, where land has not been developeel to its full capacity of productiveness and already bears a share of the public burdens out of proportion to its relative earn ing capacity. Any roan who would propose to-day to put the entire burden of slate and local taxation upon land would be re garded by our people as a man with a "bee in his bonnet." The drift of tax reform in New York is toward the relief of the farming class by corporation taxes, collateral inheritance taxes, etc. The system, as shown in a recent article in the Seattle Post Intel ligencer, it would seem has many advantages. This method of tax ation aims to relieve real estate of all tax burdens, except for local legacies and corporations. Neither the,, farmers nor the skilled labor classes in New York state have taken kindly to the sin gle tax idea. The court of appeals of Maryland recently declared the proposed system of single tax theorists to be contrary to the constitution of the slate. The experiment was tried in the town of Hyattsville by vote of the peo ple and its operation was awaited with much interest. The asses sors, according to their instruc tions, separately assessed the land and its improvements. The im provements were to be exempted from taxation and the entire tax collected from the land values. The minority, however, protest ed, and carried the matter into the courts. The lower courts sus tained the new system, but on be ing carried to the court of appeals that tribunal undid all that had been accomplished by declaring that the people of Hyattsville could not enact such a system even with the consent of the state legislature, and further adding that"such a system would eventu ally destroy individual ownership in the soil, and, under the guise of taxation, would result in ulti mate confiscation. One fact that the late controver sy over the appointment of United States senators has emohasized more than anything else, and that is that such officials ought to lie elected by direct vote of the mas ses. Ihe present system is get ting to be more and more a sort ol star chamber" squabble that is drifting back towards monarchism aboutjas fast as anything could in the midst of republican principles. A popular vote would shut oil all cavil and chicanery among the coteries, whose schemes verv frequently result in sending men up who are far from true represen tatives of the people in whose name they go. , R. W. D. Nichols, formerly a member of the Oregon conference i ' the M. E. church, recently a missionary to -'Africa, and princi pal of the Cape Palma3 seminary, and presiding elder of that district, died suddenly on shipboard, en route for Canary : Islands Friday, ebruary 4th, at 9:30 p. m.

COMPtiTlTinX IS' "UA1ANITY. The drift oi me nines is largely toward combating the principle off competition as ag.tinst the idea of humanity, which is, as all will ad mit, the brotherhood of man and equality, so far as equality may be achieved. Not by legal enact ment can a nation be made free and equal, however lofty and elo quent the words may sound. Equality is in character, in indi vidualitj', and, in a word, the most that the state'ean do is to insure the conditions out of which indi vidual (q lality may be developed. So with freedom. Man is hedged about and conditioned by circum stances. He achieves freedom only gradually, and even at the best, only partially. From the advent of Moore's Utopia to Bell amy's "Looking Backward," liter ature presents an unbroken line of more or less able attempts to re veal mankind in a more perfect social condition than at present. It is an ideal that haunts the brain, and this very fact attests that it is one sometime destined to be real ized not, perhaps, after any pre cise pattern yet presented, but in the integrity of the idea. CHOLEKINE IN PENNSYLVANIA. Swickley, Tenn. : We had an epidemic of cholerine, as our physicians called it, in tliii place lately au'l I made a great hit with Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera- and Diarrhoea Kemedy. I sold four dozen bot ties ot it in one week and have since sold nearly a gross. This Kemedy did the work and was a big advertisement for me. Several persons who have been troubled with diarrhoea for two or three weeks wee cured by a few doses of this medicine. P. P. Ksapp, Ph.
