.The Dalles has a $5000 fruit
eannery corporation and now all
they need is a cannery to match
it. .
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.

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.

"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.
