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.

it contained, was burned to ashes last
week. He left the house in the morn

of the fire is unknown! Last summer J

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,

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.'

"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

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

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. WorW.

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.
