- MiL OREGON SEHTMEL JACKSONVICLTt t Saturday, December 9, 1882. tax ittroini. The recent election, lias turned the current of political discussion in the direction of tax reform. It lias oper ated as a sort of tax reform revival meeting, at which all the politicians of all the parties seem to have received conviction of their many sins of oini sion in this regard, and been thorough ly "converted. Senator Edmunds, who. it must be owned, has not beret ofoie been brilliantly conspicuous as a re form leader, conies to the front with n proposition to reduce the taxes. tIIon. Sam. Randall who, when he-wnsSpeak-er of the last Democratic House, or ganized the committees with special referetn:(fto-pruveTiiTiig-miy reflirelion in taxes, has heard the voice of the people, has shifted his sails so as to catch theprevailingpolitical breeze,and is now posing in the att'tudo of the most advanced tax reform leader. A great many of tho Republican politi cians agree with Senator Edmunds and tho Democrats with Randall. Thn-in-tensc zeal manifested on all sides in this new movement, is enough to pur suatle the small band of men who, for years, have been demanding tax reform that at last their time has come. The methods by which this reform is to be accomplished, is tho only problem in the minds of the politicians; and to its proper, and popular, solution all their energies nro now engaged. Within tho next month or two, the public will, no doubt, bo favored with several doz ens of formulas for the 'solution of the problem, each one warranted to work to perfection, and settle tho whole ques tlon to the entire satisfaction of the country. The real truth is, that the pcoplo do not so much care who dors the work, so it is well done. They are not so much interested in the suprem acy of a parly, as the right and eco nomical government of the country. In a nord, the cardinal doctrine in the political creed of this peip'e is, patriot ism. The sooner politicans and politi cal leaders come to comprehend this fact, the sooner they will better serve the purposes which they profess. "Whatever may be the appearance up on the surface, the underlying fact in thi3 whole taxreform agitation i-notso -, , - ,-.,'. "-s-r-Vv1 much thatpeople nrcburiened lv.5j .tPJWsywffi! uraiirwi toxeR now collected create too largo a surplus over the nec essary expenses of the government. This year there vas a surplus of one hundred millions of dollnrs. Next year, at the present rates, tho surplus will probably amount to one hundred and thi:ty millions. This money is, and will always be, a prize to tempt jobbers and lobbyists and a fund for tho purchase of popularity by the members of Congress no matter which political party may be in possession of the government. As one of the first conditions of the reform therefore the government must be made poor. The surplus must be reduced. Tho income kept, just sufficient to dischirgo the obligations. If this is dono then job bery and robbery will ceasp, and the most fruitful source of political corrup tion bo removed. A scientific Frenchman recently cor structcd what ho called a '"solar gener ator" by means of which he was en abled to concentrate the rays of the sun so as to produce sufficient heat to boil water. Tho aparatus was so far a practical success, that ho furnished beat sufficient to run an engine to which was attached a printing press The press was of ordinary size, and was thus kept in operation for over four hours, notwithstanding that the day was not very hot, nnd the sun was occasionally clouded. He printed, on anaverage, fivehundred copies per hour of.a journal prepared For the occasion. Mr. "William Calver, a Washington inventor, has recently secured a patent iupon a much simpler process of produc ing the same results. He uses a num ber of mirrors so arranged upon a frame that the center of reflection can be directed to any g.ven point. Ii is said that metals requiring a tempera ture of seven hundred decrees to melt are soon reduced to a liquid state. Senator Vorhees of Indiana is al ready losing his love for practical civil service reform. Ho went out of his way to declare, in a recent interview, that ho would "not vote for any mens uro which would givo the present en cumbents a life lease." Thin is an other way of saying that he will not do anything to prevent tho Democints making a frco application of ihvir old doctrine of "To the victors belong the Epoils." There is very little doubt that all this fine talk abont civil serv ice reform will melt into misty theory so soon as the Democratic party pos sesses tho power to oust a Republiciii j urry fav or with the prosecution fend . 0t dry but then of course that is iui eGoir.

A foreign journal wants to know whether the star route investigation has any reference to the direction of the late comet. The Do in of Westminster has given his consent to the placing of a bust of Lonyfellow in Westminster. This is an honor Hecr before conferred upon the memory of an American. At the Industiial Exhibition in Cin cinati more than 2,200 men and wom en were weighed in order to decide upon the a erage weight. The average weight of the men was found to be 154.02; that of women 130 87 pounds. The next Congress will have over CO contested feats to determine. The be lief that the Democratic Congress will be extremely liberal to Democratic coiijsljiiitRjias encouraged many tie- teateu democrats to trump up ciaim for a, seat. The internal revenue report shows that the net receipts for the last fifcnl year were. $138,884,000. Of this amount there was $09,000,000 paid on distilled spirit, 847,000,000. on to bacco, and 316,000,000 on fermented liquors. After March 4, 1S83, United States Senate will stand as follows: Repub licans, 3S; Democrats, 3G; Jndepen dents, 2. The independents nro Ma hone and Riddlebrger, and both will, in nil probability net with the Repub blicans upon all important questions.

Dublin Ireland, is now subject to a CuifewAct much more rigorous than any such law is, oris likely ever to be, in free America. It applies to persons of all ngrs and nationalities. Fiom one hour after sunset, until one hour before suniisp, any person found upon the htreets, is liable to arrest at tho option of the polhe. The law is aimed to resell persons believed to be engaged in criminal designs and is a result of the lawlessness now pi e ailing in that un fortunate island. Washington Territory proposes mak ing a determined elibrt for admission to the Union at the cominK session of Congress. A commission, composed of a number of prominent citizens of the territory, is to be sent to Washington tourgpupon Congtessher claims for admission. It is honed that the ii"l ts of this territory will no longer be ig nored. Them is no reason wly Wash ington should not be made a state, and the fact that she is not, is a standing rebuke to tho policy of politics. Two young Indians recently nd dressed a large audience at the New York Tnb-inaclo. They showed re markable depth of thought ami bieadth of culture, anil thoroughly delighted their hearers. This is the work of tho Indian schools, and may be accepted as something of an indication of what these institutions arc beginning to ac complish. A little of the surplus rev. enue of this great, rich governraent, nii'lit profitably be directed to the en couragement of these schools. There is a great deal of philosophy in the old s tying that "nothing succeeds like suc cess" and now that these Indian schools ire beginning to be a success there may be some hope for the assistance that has been only too long delayed. Stephen W. Dorsey, the star router, has published a letter setting foith, ns he claims, his connection with the star route f lauds. He endeavors to impli cate MucVeagh, nnd James, and sev eral other piomiuent gent mien, in the m u ild e, and claims that he made a full confession of his connection with the affair a long time ago uud was assured that he had nothing to fear. The let ter is aluable because of the contic dictinns which it contains of former statements made by Dorsey and is littery to assist tho prosecution in the coming trials. It is now predicted that Dorsey will turn ? tates evidence against Brady and thus secure his con viction. Dorsey hopes in thin way to A Canadian Atronoiuer has dis covered a creat storm, not a po'itical storm, but a-simon J ure, thunder and lightning storm, which he promises to deliver to the inhabitants of this country en or about March the 7th next following the present date. This storm will make its maiden effort on the Gulf of Mexico ami will then strike a bee line for this coast. It will not get here however, as,, not under standing the passes or being familiar with the old emigrant road, it. will butt square up ngainst the Rocky nionn tuins. This will so discturage it that it will confine its performences to the Missihsippi vallry Mid the New Eng land states, and spend the whole force of its existence in shaking up the na I lives of those sections. The Astron mer. whose name, by the way, is Pro fessor E. Stone Wiggins I.L. D., has disturbed the political cogitations of our President to request that he tuke rur iJuvVfin outj(of tlg wet ami htpje it away carefully out of the way of danger; for he says there will be high winds, and mighty waves nnd the stout est ships, unless protected by the best of shelter, must go down. In view of these facts we feel like volunteering the suggestii n that an investigating committee be nppointed ftom some of our experienced suit' wnter politiiians, to investigate the high seas for the jiurpose of discovering our Kavy in order that the Professors warning may lie properly heeded. New York hs a new Sunday law which went into effect last Sunday. The law is very stringent and substan tially prohibits all lubor that is not absolutely necessary. All places of business including news depot?, barber shops, bath houses, and especially saloons, hich nrc not conmcted with a hotel, are rrquired to be closed. Milk wagons and bread wagons aie stopped, and the public hacks are not allowed to carry passengers. Ail driv ing fti the parks or any where else, inertly for amusement, is unlawful. List Sunday, over five hundred orrestn were made in New York City, includ ing news boys, boot blacks, bat here, milk pedlers and people of almost every otbqr occupation. U was noticeable that most of (he saloons were open as usual nnd very few arrests of saloon keepers wcro made The reason assign ed for this is, that the political influence of saloon keepers is so powerful that any officer making such an arrest would bo imiieuVuTeiV-tils-nnssi-a' ilv.ir- cW, force. The law is generally condemned by the New York journals and ridi culed by the people. It is the inten tion to illutrate its absurdity by its rigid enfoi cement and thus secure iti eaily lepeal. Tho Massachusetts Senatorship is exciting considerable interest. Sen ator Hoar's term expires next March, and he is bending eery tnergy to be come his own successor. Governor Cutler is, of coursp, opposed to his election and isleawng nothing undone which promises to nsiist in his de feat. The Democrats wi I control 105 votes in the L-gislature, and 142 are necessary to a choice. It is believed, by many, tlirft Butler will be able to in iluce sufficient Republican votes, to unite with the Democrat in opposition to Hoar, to accomplish his defrat. Rut ler is apparently mauouveriii'' for the election of Gov. Lonjr, but is realh laying the wires for his own election. Now thnt Ben has elected himself Gov. eruor of the old Bay Seme, there is no tellir.s what he mav be able to do with the Legislature. It is said he has an expectant eye on the White House and regards an election to the Sena'e as a long step in that direction. The transit of Venus, which occurred last Wednesday, was a matter of much importance in tli scientific world. Venus crosses the suns disk in regular cycles four times every 243 years. Tin cycles is made up of four interval.", the lengths of vliicuapija regular order, 105i years', 8 )ary, 121i jenrs, and 8 years; after uliiclt the intervals tepeat themselves. The main purpose ofthe observation of tlm transit is, to determ ine tho distance of the sun from the earth. The last transit, which oc currer8 ypars ago, though it is not yet fuily figured out, has resulted in taking several millions of miles from what was formerly considered the dis tance to the sun. The present obser vations are expected to throw more light upon the subject. Venus will not again appear a a factor in this vexed problem until June 8ih, A. D., 2004. Connecticut comes to the front with n patent duplex, back acting, self reg istering, Sunday, liquor law.
