The Chronicle is the Only Paper in

Press Dispatches.
The late census has shown, that the
.per capita wealth of the people of the
United States is double what it was
thirty years ago. Here is a text for
calamity orators.
A single-tax fiend recently lectured to
an audience of 10,000 people in Mystic,
Conn., and solemnly assured them that
if the single tax were in force there
would be univeral brotherhood and war
would disappear ! It is a system of won
derful potentialities and possibilities,
that same single tax. . .
The assessor of Umatilla county some
time ago sent a circular . letter to every
mortgage holder in the county, whose
name appeared on the records, in order
to obtain information regarding any of
the mortgages that might have been paid
in whole or part. Some four or five hun
dred replies have been received and as a
result the assessor has checked off from
the mortgage transcript $163,1 79 in mort
gages, some of which were paid four or
rive venrfl ncn. nnt. whfoh awrtrtlincr n
the law bad to be placed on the roll
every year. Wasco county could copy,
the example of Umatilla with great
profit. . '
An exchange quotes approvingly the
apothegm, "Low taxes signifies an in
telligent people." That depends. Low,
taxes may signify moas-backism. ' :A
community content to get along without
public improvements may have a tax
rate low 'enough to be exactly propor
tionate to their lack of intelligence.' A
school district that refuses to levy a five
mill tax for educational purposes in or
der to reduce taxation,' is a case in point.
The town of Milton did not display re
markable intelligence when it refused
the other day to vote ' for an increased
tax that would have given them better
school facilities besides a new water sys
tem and an electric, light plant. If low
taxes always meant high . intelligence
then the savage in his native wild ought
to be the most .intelligent man in the
world.
A C03IMITTE OF SAFETY HERE.
While the citizens have every confi
dence in the ability of the mayoaand the
officers of the law to detect and pun
ish crime, and while they hope that the
dernier retort of lynch law will not have to
be resorted to, these considerations have
not prevented them, as we are well as
sured, from forming themselves into a
committee of safety which will supple
ment every proper effort to detect and
punish crime and to drive criminals
from our midst.
LET VAGRANTS AND THUGS BE
WARE. There can scarcely be a - reasonable
doubt that some of the four disastrous
fires we have had in the short period of
four and a half days bad their origin in
incendiarism. It is in fact unreasonable
to suppose that four fires should have
occured in so short a time and two of
them within a few hours of -each other
without extraneous aid ; particularly, as
not one of them can be accounted for in
any ordinary way. It is the history of
all great city fires that the scene of the
calamity soon becomes the rendezvous of
all the thugs and toughs for miles
around. It was so in the great Chicago
fire, and so here. There is not a doubt
in the world that s gang of thieves made
away with everything they could possi
bly carry off, and did this nearly as fast as
the generous-hearted express-men, who
gave their services for nothing, could
carry it to a place of supposed safety.- It
is even rumored that boats Vere . em
ployed on the river to carry straT rescued
from the flames over to the Washington
side, and that wagons left the city loaded
down with plunder, and the supposition
is perfectly reasonable. In no other
way can it be accounted for that many
things that the owners knew were car
ried to the edge of the river should have
disappeared as if by magic; Be that as
it may, the mass meeting of yesterday
was significant of very serious conse
quences likely to follow, the presence in
oar midst, any longer, of men who can
not give a satisfactory account, of them
selves. '-' There is no mistaking the spirit
of the people at this hour. - The life of a
man caught in the attempt of ' setting
fire to a buildidg in The Dalles at this
moment would not be worth the snuff of
a candle, and ten times the regular force,
of officers could not save him. ' And this
is just as it should be. There is no
place on the Almighty's footstool where
the miscreant ought to be allowed to
live who would deliberately and malic
iously start a fire that would leave nun
dreds of women and children homeless
and penniless, and be the occasion if not
the cause of the loss of valuable and
precious human lives. One thing is
certain, the climate of The Dalles will
for some time be very unhealthy for
tramps and thugs, and as they them
selves value their worthless lives they
bad better steer clear of here,

GENERAL PERSONAL . MENTION.
Oscar Wilde frankly entitles his new
book a study of "Christianity from the
Outside." Some who considers them
selves in it could give only a rear view of
the subject.
The oldest jockey on the tnrf, and still

A Woman Summoned as Juror. .
I don't think it is generally known
that a woman was recently summoned
as a juror in St. Louis. The lady took
the matter very philosophically and at
tended court promptly, only, of course.
to receive the apologies of all concerned.
tnis was the culmination of a series of
blunders which have occurred from
time to time, and to prevent the possibil
ity of which a canvass will soon be
made. Summoning a man to act as a
juror in two courts at the same time has
been done more than once, while some
men boast that they were never called
upon to serve ou a jury, and although
there must be something closeo 100,000
able bodied and competent jufSrs in this
city, aged and exempt persons are con
stantly called upon. But that lady
juror capped the climax. Interview in

The Poem of Fashion. -
The poetic diction of the ladies who
condescend for. a consideration to
write concerning the fashions is some
thing to wonder at We are told this
year that "the summer underlinen now
being shown in the shop windows ia
simply a dream of soft, deliccte confec
tions in silk and lace." And it is further
specified thai there are "accordion plait
ed nightgowns, .falling in creamy riffles
from neck to toes, and accordion plaited
petticoats as light as air." It is the year
of weddings, and the getting together of
a trousseau of underclothing of this fan
tastic and ethereal sort must have been
a keen delight to the feminine soul.
