Tbo English tories propose to give the
rovernmpnt aid iu its ftTotts to increase
the number of small land proprietors in
Ort-at Britain. A few of the owners of
large eetates express their willingness to
sell bat among the more radical element
there is a growing feeling that the land
for which the proprietors paid nothing
and which was a gift from the crown to
some favorite and in many cases the re
waiil of dishonor and debasement should
return without compensation to the
. people and be divided among the actual
cultivators.
We are informed that the Union
Fauifie company has made a cut in its
freight rates on the Baker between The
Dalles and Portland equal to about half
the present rates. This is infiinitely
kind, but it comes rather late to be of
much benefit to the dear people. Tf the
Regulator was not oh the river the com
pany's rotten old hulk would be now
' tied hp as she was last year for six
months when the people of Washington,
between The Dalles and the Cascades
were left without any means of trans
portation. This new effort to crush the
peoples' boats ought to rally to the sup
port of the boat company every friend of
an open river in Eastern Oregon and
Washington. If we cannot maintain the
portage wo have there is little use in
asking for another. " ' .
That there was reason for the creation
of the slate board of equalization is seen
by a comparison of the assessment rolls
as received from the several counties of
the state. These rolls come to the secre
tary of state in all conditions, showing
that 110 two county assessors havC the
same understanding of the assessment
law, perform their woTk in the same
fashion, or put anything like the same
valuation on property of the same kind.
In adjoining counties horses are as
- sessed at $10 or $50, as the whim of the
assessor may dictate. In some counties
horses are assessed at $53.44 and in
others at only $19.48. The highest as
sessment per head on cattle is $17.35
and the lowest $10. The different as
sessors .value sheep all the way from
$1.05 to $'' per head and the swine from
$1.40 to $4.09. Is there any justice or
equity in this? And the assessors are
'all operating under the same law.

A law has been passed in Michigan
. relieving the" owner of mortgaged prop
erty from paying taxes on the amount
mortgaged ; this part of the burden be
; ing placed by the same statue on the
money-lender, In passing this law the
Michigan law-makers, tak::ig warning
' from the Massachusetts nu uey-lenders,
inserted a clause invalidating all private
contracts requiring the mortgage to pay
these taxes. ; The experiment in Michi
gan will be watched with interest. The
object of the' law' is to favor the man
obliged to borrow money, but it cannot
" compel the lender to put his money out
on these conditions, and already there
has -.been much- complaint, against the
measure in that it drives capital out of
'. the state where , monpy can be lent to
better advantage. It will doubtless re-
'.uce the number of mortgages on Michi
gan property, but whether it will prove
beneficial to the people it is intended to
benefit is another question.
The Ongonian't correspondent at The
" Dalles is responsible for the following:
This afternoon the jury in the case of
the state, of Oregon vs. -'At well, to con
demn a parcel of land required by the
.-state portage at the Cascades, returned
a verdict placing damages at $4000. The
state helil that the value of this land
was $400, while Atwell claimed $12,000.
A lower figure could have. been agreed
upon between tiia parties, had not the
roundhouse, offices, etc., been built up
on .the land before an agreement was
reached. '
Itis of no great importance one way
or other, but it is not true that the state
. put the value of the land at $400. Sup
erintendent Farley on behalf of the state
- offered $1500 for it but this sum the
Atwells thought much below jts value;
hence the suit. Nor did the fact that
: the roundhouse offices etc., were built
on the land cut any figure with the jury
' in fixingthe price.. The state needed the
' land and hud to bnild on it pending the
,' suit, or do without the roundhouse and
1 other necessary buildings, till the price
of the land would be agreed on.,

The Journal is mistaken. Attorney
General Jones has decided that indebt
edness of every kind is exempt from tax
ation in the state of Washington, and
- the assessors have made their returns
for the present year in accordance with
this decision. What the alliance did,
and justly too, was to condemn this
species of unequal taxation.-tbat lays an
. unjust burden on the. -debtor class and
allows the creditor class 1J o free. The

St. Locis, Dec. 1. A bold and suc
cessful train robbery took place on the
St. Louis & San Francisco road near
Glendale station, about ten miies from
this city, shortly before 10 o'clock last
night. The robbers had their plans
well laid and they escaped with money
and valuables amounting to $20,000, and
possibly more. The Adams express
company is the victim and from the
manner in which the robbers nsed dyna
mite with fearful effect, both on the car
and Messenger Mullen, who had charge
of the car, showed them to be in earnest.
Six men uarticipated in the robbery.
When the train ' reached Old Orhard
it is supposed four men boarded
the express car. The other two are be
lieved to have boarded the train at
Glendale. Shortly after the train left
Glendale two men made their way to the
engine cab and placing- their revolvers
at the head of the engineer and fireman,
compelled them to stop the train. The
engineer complied-with alacrity. As
soon as the train came to a standstill the
engineer and fireman were taken to the
express car. In the meantime the ex
press messenger who suspected some
thing wrong, closed and lilted the doors
of the car and stood -inside ready to de
fend the property intrusted to his care,
but the odds were against him, and the
poor fellow now lies in a dangerous con
dition at North Springfield. A stick of
dynamite was placed against the car and
exploded. . In another, minute another
stick exploded at the car door, which
fell in. The robbers then entered the
car. Everything in the safe was taken,
and also the messenger's gold watch and
chain. The statements' as to the
amounts secured vary widely, ranging
from $20,000 to $50,000, but nothing def
inite is yet known. . While two robbers
were doing the work at the express car,
the other four bandits kept the remain
der of the train crew, and passengers,
in a state of terror, a constant fusilade
being kept up the while. Fourteen
shots were fired into the smoking car,
but fortunately no one was hit. A large
posse . are making a search for the
bandits. ...

mate Riggin's wounds, to aid in deter
mining whether the latter's wounds
were caused by a pistol or a rifle bullet,
Rifles are carried by Chilian police. The

holding Riggin in his arms sifter . Riggin
was stabbed. 1 his hole was made by a
rifle bullet of 42-caliber, and proves con

formation from irresponsible sources.

A Vessel Thought to be Lost.
San Francisco, Dec. 1. It is feared
here that the new iron ship Josephine
Troop, which left Glasgow 232 days ago
for San Francisco with a cargo of Scotch
splint coal, has been lost at sea. The
length of time that has elapsed since she
left Glasgow, taken into consideration
with the inflammatory cargo she carried.
and the fact that four vessels with simi
lar cargoes and bound from tbe same
port to San Francisco have been burned
at sea within the year, leads to the be
lief that she has succumbed to the rava
ges of fire.

McVay, of Braddock, died yesterday
after having voluntarily fasted 150 days.

Three Families After His Money.
Sacramento, Dec. 2. Thirty-one
years ago Joel R. Carter married in
England, After the birth of his two
prospered and for a time corresponded
with his family, but finally moved
Peoria, III., where he was known as
Cramer. In 1870 he married again and
had two children by his second wife.
A younger woman fell in his yvay, so
that he in turn deserted his later wife,
and came here with his new flame,
bringing with him $50,000 in greenbacks.
The second wife obtained a divorce from
him. He left her and his children in
possession of property valued at $100,000.
As soon as the divorce from him was
secured he commenced proceedings
against the English wife, w ho had ad
vertised for information concerning
him. A marked copy, of the paper con
taining the history of the divorce had
been sent her. She objected to the di
vorce, saying he had deserted her.
mis turn 01 anairs warned him so
he took sick and died. The three
families are now claimants of his
estate. Joel R. Carter, jr., a son by his
first wife, is here. An amicable settle
ment is possible, as there is enough for
all. He was exceedingly successful in
all his business ventures.
The Kaiser's Latest Fad.
Berlin, Dec. 2. The kaiser, it is ru
mored, has seriously spoken of submit
ting himself to medical examination as
to his sanity in order to offer a conclu
sive refutation to the critics in France
and England who have been throwing
out hints reflecting upon it. Should the
kaiser conclude to take the step, the
leading experts would be invited from
England, and perhaps from Italy and
Sweden, who would make thorough ex
amination and a complete report upon
the cerebral condition of the illustrious
patient. Whatever may be the founda
tion for the rumors, it is certain that
the kaiser's mental condition is a sub
ject of general discussion, or rather in
sinuations, and it is believed that the
current gossip cannot have failed in
some form to reach the kaiser's ears.
A Russian Scheme.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 3. Consul

a system now in practice in Russia, re

companies. The consul general says:
This scheme which went into effect in
June of 1888, and at the present day is
generally adopted throughout the couu-
try, and business is carried on under it
on a very large scale. The. scheme gives
satisfaction to tbe farmers."

A Good Impression Produced
St. Petebsbukg, Nov. 30, The Rus
sian newspapers testify to the excellent
impression produced by the German
chancel'or's speech in the reichstag.

in dispelling the clouds between Ger
