In all the Creator's work there is a charming variety. There are no two stars in the firmament equal in mngnitudo and splendor "for Btar diflerelh from star in elorv:" there are no two leaves of the forest aliko. no two grains of sand, no two human faces. Neither can there bo two men absolutely identical in mental capacity and moral disposition. Ono may ex eel in solid judgment, another in tenacity of memory, and a third in brilliancy of imagination. Ono is naturally grave and solemn, an other cuv and vivacious. One is of a phlegmatic, another of a Bin gu;ne temperament. Ono is taciturn, another has his heart in his mouth. Ono is constitutional ly shy, timid and reserved, anotht is bold and demonstrative. The toucher should take his pu nils as God made them and aid them in bringing out the hidden bowers of their soul.

II. KH'WOKTIl). To Tim Kuitoii: Since the re publican press of the country, as well as some of the democratic pre?, is making so much ado about the plank in the democratic platform adopted at Chicago, relat ing to the "income tax" decision, I desire to make some obeervations concerning that decision, and also to mention u bit of republican his tory. I will give in the outset the resolution referred loin full, to-wit: "Until tho money question is settled we are opposed to any ugita tion for the further changes in our tariff laws, except such as are nec essary to meet the deficit in revenue caused by the adverse decision of the supreme court, there would be no deficit in tLe revenue under the law passed by a democratic congress in strict pursuance of the uniform decisions of that court for nearly one hundred years, that court hav ing in that decision sustained con stitutional objections to the enact ment which had previously ten overruled by the ablest judges who have ever sat on the bench. We declarethat it is tho duty of congress to use all the constitutional power which remains of thut decision, or which may come from its reversal by the court as it may hereafter bo constituted, so that the burdens of taxation may be equally and impartially laid, to tho end that wealth may bear its due proportion of tho expenses of government. I am utterly opposed to the views of tho majority of the court as ex pressed in tho income tax decision That decision overturned tho judg. nicnts of that court for one hundred yearn, as well as a fixed govern mental policy for raising revenue, (A decision I think that rests on assumed power by the court). The effect of that decision cannot 1 fully estimated, it is far-reaching in its consequences, and I think dangerous to the welfare of the re public. Ono effect is to ubridge tho taxing power of the govern ment, and may be to tic the hands of congress in an emerirencv. One evil effect was felt the day tho de eision was rendered, that was the revenues of tho government were cut off below tho actual needs, cans ing a deficit of about $25,000,000 per year. It was generally con ceded that the "Wilson bill" would not yield sufficient revenue unless tho incomo tax provision was passed, and time has proved the correctness of that conclusion. Concress saw fit to pass the measure under a well-established governmental policy for raising revenue. It was not suggested or contemplated by any member of congress that the measure was un constitutional. That question was treated as settled by an unbroken line of decisions, hence congress could not contemplate a striking down of a part of its revenue bill Tho latest decision upholding an "incomo tax" law was in January 1881. That was tho case of Springer vs. the United States All the material questions raiseil in tho "income tax" division on the Wilson bill were raised in the Springer case, elaborately argued by very eminent counsel and fully passed upon by tho supremo court. 1 think there is no mistaking tho fact that tho consensus of opinion among lawyers and law writers and also the consensus of opinion of tho people is adverse- to the late "income tax" division. Tho country at large is not sat isfied with thut division, and it is perfectly natural that the people through representative bodies like national convention would ex press themselves concerning so grave a matter. I uonc opinion behind that law, and that is why this outcry of the people from ocean to ocean. What would that or any other law bo worth without public sentiment behind it to bus tain it? Simply nothing. Has it come to this that the su promo court can dictate the taxing policy of the Cm tea Mates and none dare protest? In my humble opinion tho "income tax division was the most stupendous judicial outrage ever perpetrated on the American people. The country is determined, and should in some way get rid uf the effect of that de cision, hour of the supreme judges suggested a constitutional amendment if necessary. The Chicago convention suggests no definite way. pome newspapers and republicans generally raise the cry that tho democrats, if success ful at the approaching election, w ill "pack" the supreme court, to the end that the income tax decision may le overruled, and then descant oudly and eloquently on the dis grace and danger of such a course. I am unable to even predict what the democrats will do if the election should be favorable to them. If the charge of our friends (the ene my) true the republican party buried itself in shame and disgrace in 1870 and demoralised the gov ernment. Have republicans for gotten how President Grant "packed" the supreme court in 1870, by the appointment of Strong and Bradley to reverse the decision of the court rendered by Chief Justice Chase in what is known a3 the "legal tender" or "greenback" case? For a further statement of that case I will say, the question of the constitutional right of con gress to mae a mere promise a legal tender for debts, that is to say, to make a promise the eame thing as its fulfillment (a mon strous incongruity), was brought up to the supreme court of the United States, the majority of the court, including Chief Justice Chase, after most elaborate argument and consideration, decided that there was no constitutional right to apply a paper legal tender to pre existing contracts, and some of, the judges held it was equally uncon stitutional to compel parties, in the absence of mutual agreement, to receive such paper in fulfillment of oontracts made subsequent to the passage of the law. After this de cision was rendered, two new judges, whose opinions on the point were known beforehand, were put upon the bench, and the decision was in this way reversed, no new point therefore being raised either by counsel or the new judges, and the chief justice and his associates stil adhering to their original opinion The method of thus obtaining a de cision of a court is so manifestly bad comment is unnecessary. While a "packed" judiciary can not from any standpoiut lie de fended, yet I ask republicans who are just now greatly exercised for the indetiendence and purity of the courts, if it would be any worse for a democratic president to pack the supreme court than for a republi can to do the same thing? When did republicans condemn President Grant for doing what they suspect Mr. Bryan will do if he should I elected. I don't know what demo. crats might do but I do know what republicans have done, packed the supreme court. In the language of holy writ: "Thou hypocrite, first cast out tho beam out of thine own eye; and then see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Have republicans forgotten how Mr. Hayes rewarded a legal friend with a seat on the supreme bench for the successfu consummation of a political mission in Louisiana early in 1877? Have the republicans forgotten the dirty bargain entered into in 1880 be twecn Jay Gould and the republi can managers whereby a certain railroad attorney was to be ap pointed by Mr. Garfield to the su preme bench, in case Garfield was elected? And when Garfield hesi tated to make the appointment Gould threatened to make public the correspondence relative to the bargain, which brought Garfield to time and the appointment was made, and after the most unseemly contest in the senate in the history of our country, for a judicial posi tion, Stanley Matthews was con firmed by ont majority, and that majority obtained by a small trick by a senator in this wise: Senator J. S. Williams was ill and absent from the capitol and could not return in time to vote and Matthews' "whipper-in" arranged a pair with Senator Vance who bitterly opposed Matthews and who as ignorant of Williams' in ability to return to the capitol, so this little trick made possible the consummation of the bargain. Be it said to the credit of those three powerful senators, Edmunds, Conklin and Wan, that they fought Matthews' confirmation from start to finish. Of course all good citiiens want a brave and untarnished supreme court, but in the face of the record, I submit it would he very bedim ing in republicans to be a little more modest in their charges against democrats with an attempt to "pack" the supreme court. In my opinion the causes or motives that inspired the two latter ap pointments do not compare in jHiint of degration to the two for mer (Strong and Bradley), for the reason the former were apKlnted for the express purpose of render ing a decision a certain way in a certain case. In other words Strong and Bradley were appointed to render a certain decision and' SHOES AT YOUR OWN PRICES. AT Your Own Prices.

It goes without saying that the judiciary of the country should be free from taint or suspicion of any kind, but repub- Means would letter purge their own garments before condemning the democratic party in advance. While I think the Chicago plat form could have In-en lettered in some particulars the resolution re lating to the income tax decision needs no change or modification. That resolution is worthy of the highest commendation of every democrat and patriotic citizen. If the convention had done as well in all things else, the work of that convention would have been a bright and a shining mark in the history of the democratic party for all time to come. The income tax provision was the crowning glory of the "Wilson" tariff bill, and when the supreme court by assumed power as I think declared that law unconstitutional a fearful blow was dealt the government itself, as well as the great masses of the people, and the money power of America given a stronger grip on the country than ever before. The battle for the re-enactment of a graduated and equitable income tax law is on. Let it triumph! EugeneOre., Aug. Ith, 'Dti.

Salem StateBtnau: A number of hop dealers were wen yesterday la ref ereuce to the outlook for the present year's hop crop. A majority of them report hops lu spleudid condition, tbe recent rains having Improved them wonderfully. Where the fields have been thoroughly cultivated good heavy crops will be picked aud tbe quality, from preseut prospects, will be exceptionally tine. Tlio nelds which have been cultivated poorly, of course, will not make a very good yield, In many cases not paying for picking and curing, I u some tlelds, however, tbe vines are pale aud appear lifeless aud many poles are bare. Many of the growers, who are not members of tbe Uillerent associations, aie talking of paying 31) cents per box of nine bushels tor picking hops, while the association men aie determined to pay only 25 cents. Tbe former claim they will be unable to secure pickers at the lower price, nor will they be able to have as good work done us they wll secure uuder the higher price. Prices of hops are sun very low ami the market will hardly opeu for more thau 0 ueuU per pound for a choice article. Dealers are not very hopeful of a good market this full, for the reason that heavy slo. ks of old hops are still belnii held by brewers aud SDeculatora. The output f Oregon this year will be auout oue-hair or last year's crop, and from appearaiiut uOw, dpalera and growers alike leel confident that the grade or the new hops will average fat above that ol last year.
