Gooi Showing For Oregon Th renort of Postmaster General Wanamaker shows that the lowest per cent, of expenses for nost- offices of any state in the union is for Oregon, oeing a per cetu. 01 me gross receipts. The highest is lor the District of Columbia, which is 76 per cent. The average for tbe whole country Is about 50 per cent. This includes the free delivery systems, but not the mail routes. This Is certainly a good showing for the Oregon postmasters, indlcsting also that they are dcing more W3rk for the money than those of any other state in tbe union. Ex.

Mr Jones' cabin, with all it contained, was burned to ashes last week. He left the house in the morn ing with R A Carrel to build u cabin for Miss Maggie Dunham, and o-i returning in the evening found a blackened spot wnerc ins cabin had stood. I be origin of the fire is unknown! Last summer J C 1 rat t. of the same locality, went out to the val.ey and on returning found his house burned. In the latter case the windows and doors had been removed and carried a safe distance from the fire, showing conclusively that it was a case of incendiarism. Lumberman. A Cotr Stricr. A few mornings ago the families of A U Bailey and S R McLearan, living near Pendleton, were thrown into a state of Intense excitement by a terrific explosion. For a time the Incident was clothed in the garb of mys tery, but now the puxile has been solved. Says the East Oregenian: "The report was occasioned by a meteor which passed over Walla Walla'at 4 o'clock in the morn Ing, and was seen by a few parlies who happened to be up at that hour. It is de scribed as a beautiful and impressive sight. The ball of fire seemed about as larg as the crown of a hat, and continually emitted a shower of sparks. It did not appear to tbe eye to be more than 100 feet high, and seemtngly barely missed the tops of the tallest buildings. It trav eled lr, a horixontal line southward, and shortly after it disappeared from view a report was heard like that of a distant cannon, followed by another of the same kind, and buildings were shaken bv the explosion. That meteor is located some where between Pendleton and Walla Walla, and some one should gel out a search warrant acd find It.' Mrw I. O. O. F. Articles of incorpor ation have been recently filed for the or ganization of a toint stock company, with a capital of 1230,000. for the purpose of erecting an Odd Fellows' temple ade quate to the rapidly growing require menu of that fraternity. The present temple, at the corner of' First and Alder streets, does not even accomodate the lodges on the WMt Side, let alone the whole city. There art three encamp ments, ten Bubordidinate lodge and thtee Rebekab lodges in consolidated Portland Subscription books are open in tbe Odd Fellows' library. Tbe plan of subscription is very similar to that pur sued by tbe AOL W in the erection of their temple in this city that is the payment of installments of 50 cents per mo ntb on each share ofstock . Axothrx Pioxesr Gwt Elder John Stipp departed this life on Nov. 2tb, l, having been confined to his bed bat three days, of heart failure and general decay of the body, about 85 years of age. at bis own farm at Molalla corners, in Clackamas county, Oregon. where be has been residing with bis son in-law, J C L Miiler. and his own daughter. His long lite and great talents spent as a preacher among tbe Old School Baptists in Oregon some forty years caused him to be one of he most widely known characters in Linn and adjoining counties. Hie was irreproachable in all hie dealings with his fellow men, and uncompromising in his religions convictions ol tbe truth as it is in Jrtuf . and has at length we trust gone to his reward eternal life. L. Two Pardons Clinton Pennington. sentenced from Baker county to serve a life term In the Oiegon penitrnriarr, was pardoned Tuesday by Governor Pcnnorcr, upon recomendation ol three phssicians. as Pennington is dying from consumption. He was sentenced to hang, but the gover nor commuted it to life Imprisonment. He tas been in prison nearly two p;ars. full pardon was given John Davidson, upon recommendation of the entire jury. 1-1 e was sentenced Irom forlland for ob taining money under false pretenses, and came las Januar to serve three tears. The urgent needs of his familv was the reason for the pardon. A Gos Claim. Last July Thoa J Arthur made the discover v that larinty acree in the heart of M L jonts' big farm near urooks was vaca-t that is, although Mr Jones had been in peaceful possession of It for years the land office records at Oregon City showed the land to be vacant and the tittle to it was still vested In the government. And forthwith after mak ing his discovery Mr Arthur proceeding to homestead the tract, which is very valua ble, having been in cultivation many years and being a part of what Mr Jones nad always supposed was his farm.

Badly Whipped.

The case is not yet a matter of record Tramps and Fab mekh. Farmers need to be careful how they leave their houses on going away from home. According to the Journal tramps on Thursday after noon cleaned out the little ranch of F a Beatty, who lives near Chemawa. They smashed in the window and got away with all the provisions, clothing and moveables they could carry. Parties scoured the woods all the evening for the depredators, but lound no trace of them Tub Steam Laundry Coming.

"The houae will please lie in order," were tbe words of Speaker Crisp as the band on the big clock facing the speaker's chair came together over the XII, and they were iutcenttiated by a sharp rap with the gavel lie held uplifted in bis right hand ; and tbe lout session of the Fifty-second congress was open for business. The att- ndai.ee was fairly good for an opening session, al though the number of empty seats on the democratic side was entirely too large for those who fear that absenteesm may give the party leaders as much trouble at this session as at ibe last. However let us not take the shaded view of tbe future, but rather give Ibe democratic members of the bouse credit for sufficient love of party and patriotism to see that a democratic quorum is not lucking at any lime when it becomes desirable to have it present, and that is practically all tbe time. Mr Harrison's annual message will not go to congress until tomorrow, but your correspondent has read it, although it was an onerous duty 10 wade through its more than 15,000 words, and not a pleasure it strikes me as being in tbe nature of a skillful lawyer's plea for tbe acta of the prevent administration and for the legis lation 01 tne republican congress, ana an altogv: .. r : an i iirin.v--f.-ary on-, in asmuch as tbe court of final appeal the people rendered its verdict in the case nearly a month ago. The general style of tbe mesnrge it far below tkat of those written by Mr Harrison previously; but come to think of it the circumstances under which this message was prepared ere such as to make it unfair to criticise it from a literary point of view. It demonstrates ne thing very clearly. Mr Harrison still clings to protection and tbe other republi can ideas which were so overwhelmingly condemned by tbe American voters on the eighth of last month. Tbe attendance at the opening session of tbe senate was better proportionately than that in the boose, but that may have been largely owing to the fact that by a resolu tion adopted at the last session the anti option bill was made tbe regular order for today, which give that measure, which it will be remembered has already passed tbe house, the right of way as unfinished bo ti neas nntil it shall have been disposed of or the session tha'l come to a dose. There is a decided difference of opinion at to whether this bill will be disposed of by sola ol tbe senate or by tbe close of the wstion Its opponents claim that enough senators flora the srnth hare change! their minds about tbe bill to make it certain that they L-aa defeat it on a direct vote, bat all the same they are now scheming to pre eel a vote being taken. There are a number of important meas ure, from a democratic standpoint, which may be brought forward and passed by the bouse at this session or may be held until the beginning of ibe Fifty third jus: as tbe democrat ic coolereus or ersotaa. shortly to be bead, may decide, it is be lieved that there are enough republican senators willing to vote with the democrat to repeal the present silver law, provided Teeniest can be reached on a substi tute, and some of them have expressed themselves as favoring a return to the Bland law if nothing more satisfactory can be arranged. No help is expected by dem ocrats from the international rnonetary conference, now sitting, in solving the silver problem. Unless several republican senators shall vote different from the way they talk it is probable that the bouse bills for the ad mission to statehood of New Mexico and Arizona will be taken np and pursed by the senate at this session. This is; very desir able for several reasons, not the least of which i that it is believed that both states will scad democratic I" S senator in time t J take their seats next winter. The cholera scare is being worked for ail it is worth to work np sentiment in con giess in favor of a suspension of immigra tion for one year, and it is to a certain ex tent succeeding Once convince congress that there it real danger of the cholera get tin t a foothold in this country next year, through immigration, and the vote will be unanimous in favor of suspension notwithstanding the efforts of tbe steam ship lobby. AN IXCOIE TX II the new Congress shall be obliged to im pose new uses to meet ths extravtf set per manent expenditures isdnied upon the coun try by he Republicans, it ought to rote a graded lax upon large income. J udge Hoi mt n't suggestion thst this would n ci est wealth in keeping down the public', expenses as the tariff bounties have Interested rich men in forcing the expense up, it both shrewd and just. But aside irom this an income tax, as Ths World has for years maintained. Is the most simple, fair and easily borne of alt Imposts for ihe support ol government. It taxes those only who have something to to pay with and to whom payment is no hardship. It does not oppress labor, hamper Industry, nor add to ths burdens of the great farming class. It taxes superfluities rather than necessities. To the common objection that an income isx Is "inquisitorial" the ready ap conclusive answer is that It Is no more so than the tariff, the Internal revenue tyttem or the lifting plan for taxing personal property. A graded tax upon incomes of $10,000 and over could be made to yield $50,000,000 a year without burdening any one. And what ever the rich men may think about it, It would lie a very popular tax.

AXNKXATIO.V HFBATKll. .Within a few days there has broken out in Canada a strong expression of what seems to tie dissatisfaction with the exist ing government. Last week the people of South Norfolk in Ontario held a meeting at which 'here was an almost unanimous expression of opinion of opinion in favor of annexation to tbe United States. On Monday evening there was a debate in Montreal, One orator ad vocated the absolute independence of Can ada. This was M Rodolphe Lemieax, a prominent French Canadian. Mr Elgin Myers, of Toronto, spoke in behalf of an nexation. Mr Myers was lately ilismitsed fromacrosn attorneyship by Sir Oliver Wowatt, the premier of ' Intario, lcaue of hi pronounced view in favor of annexa ation. The meeting was addreted on all phases of the question, and finally the people voted. There were 1617 votes in favorof independ n e acd Uirl in favor of a continental union, meaninty ibriwbyssnearstion with the L'nited States. Only :!; voted for tbe maintenance ol tbe existing colonial gov ernment. The Conservative piper make light of (his, but tue meeting an important phase of public opinion, and evidently of a growing ptiblic opinion. There is a large part of tbe population in the Dominion which believes that the al lianoe between Protestant Great Britain and Catholic Quebec cannot be maintained. English and Protestant annexationist are offended by tbe mainfenanoe of tbe legal status of toe Roman Catholic Church and the French language by British treaties and statutes. They are willing to see the Itomtnion absorbed in the United States becaqse then Quebec, as a state of tbe union, would manage its own affairs, while the English speaking provinces would be rid of responsibility for her debts nasi what they consider ber extentricities. Many intelligent French Canadians have an apprehension that tbe time is coming when the conSkt between Quebec and the other provinces of tbe Dominion will result disastrously to their church, law and lan guage. They know, too. that the province could not be admitted into the union with the privileges now secured by treaty with England. They sre core that congress would not consent that an incoming state should retain law under which tbe priests levy taxes, and in parraaxjee of which rights are established under the French procedure of the seventeenth century. Therefore V Lemieax and many of bit compatriot agitato for independence, or nationality, in the nope, no doubt, that Quebec would retain tbe powers and priri - leges of fUtehood. This is the talk that is going on among oar neighbor on tbe other side of the border. Some day it may be more im portant to as than it is now. bat any ex pression of a desire to join the union made by a people so important at the 1 a Dalian trust always be interesting. .New 1 or I re Id. . ijrtTMBTiv; rAc-r.

The effort of the present Administration to produce rain by the explosion of dynamite is not near so ridiculous as its effort to make the people prosperous by increased taxation.

The falling off in the vote of Indiana, as compared with the vote of tSSS, is attribu ted by some newspapers to voters who were bribed to stay away from the pools. But we do not think this Is correct. The falling off ts due lo the fact that under the Australian election law the corn-field negroes ot Ken tucky were unable to vote. There were not lest thsn 20,000 imported negroes who o'er. in 1SS8 that could not vote anJer the new- election law. Indiana has been crrried by he Republicans since l$76only by the col onisation o' negros from the South, and the secret ballot slopped that fraud along with the successful use of bootile and bribery. Mo wondet the Republican exclaim, with Bou- telle. of Maine. 'D-n the Australian ballot The annual report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Kathbone shows 4105 new postoffices were established during the year, a greater number than any previous year except iS90, when it was 4427. The year closed with 67, till postoffices in the United States The largest increase in number of new postoffices is in the southern states. Rathbone suggests an amendment to the law, making the mailing of green goods circulars A continuing offense from the time of mailing to the place of destina tion, so that the prosecution can take place at either point. A similar enactment in retranl to lotteries has about swept them out of existence in two years, and he be lievos the same effect would follow in the cases of the green goods swindbrs.
