For Western .Washington and Western Oregon: Fair weather; wanner. For Eastern Washington and Oregon: Fair weather; slight changes In tem perature. A correspondent of the New York Herald sums up the offensive features of the incomo tax provision of the Wil son bill as follows: "The bill declares that there shrill be levied and collected a tax on all dividends payable to stock holders or depositors In savings Instltu tlons, as well as on all sums paid as Interest by corporations or associations, on their debts, whether the said sums shall be due to citizens or non-resident aliens. The corporations and companies are required, under heavy penalties, to declare to the tax gatherer the sums annually payable to such non-resident aliens on shares or bonds or deposits In Ha villus batiks, and each corporation or company Is required to iwiy 2 per cent tax on such dividends, coupons or ln- toront, and deduct the sum from the amount otherwise payublo to the chare' owner or bond-owner or depositor." It Is interesting to learn that some of the Massachusetts mills are starting up, and that they have orders. It Is true that while there Is a demand for goods, buyers are Insisting on low prices, say lng that the goods must bo produced for less money. It seems that this can be done by imylng lower wages to the operative But that is better than joy ing no wages at all, and it seems to be practically, what the worklngmen voted for in November, 1892. It may be ob jected that It is getting the pay of American operatives down to that of the British workmen, Init the former wanted a change, and this was tho only change possible. In one district, tho men have refused to accept the lower wages, nnd the inevitable result is the cliwln' of the mills, which will be done If the men adhere to their punoe. It is at' the owners can do. And then the fact must bo borne in mind that fully 70 per cent of the operatives who were Idle In September are now employed. The other 30 will have to hustle. Under the heading of "Undo Sam'r Queer Freaks," the Tacoma I.td-ur of the 16th was guilty of the following gross misrepresentation of facts: "To nn ordinary-minded nioual It feems queer thatv while the UiiIKhI t'totes gov ernment has, on this northwest coast, two such vessels as the light houso ten ders Manaanlta and the Columbine, for the protection of life nnd commerce. they should be compiled t" He In a harbor which it is !mpolt0e for them to leave when they are most urgently nei-ded Mocked in when the signals of U8ireH8 and shipwreck are flying out fUlo. 1 it politics or Inhumanity that l. Ihriii in the Columbia river when, by nuAln? only a fow miles up the 73 r f lUred harbors which they ceulJ en-j ter or leave in the midst of a worse storm than has.swopt this coast for tlw past twelve months? One of these days the powers that be will be forced to an swer this question." It has been known for some time past that efforts have been made to have the lighthouse ten ders removed to the Sound, and the agi tation has been much more pronounced since the arrival of the Columbine; but "to an ordinary-minded mortal It seems queer" that the Ledger would resort to such an argument In furtherance of the wishes of the people on the Sound, when the allegations could so readily be dis proved. The facts or the matter are that at no time was either the Man zanlta or Columbine bar-bound, the only reason for their failure to go out during the stormy weather last month being the impossibility of accomplishing any work outside while the water was so rough. On more than ono occasion In January attempts were made to "land" coal on the lightship, but were necessarily abandoned on account of the swell, and the tender returned to )ort. Both of the steamers have crossed the bar time and again In the roughest weather experienced here in years, and as often have returned to dock and re ported that a boat could not be launched with safety either at Tilla mook rock or at the lightship. Either the Ledger's sources of Information are unreliable, or a deliberate falsehood ha been asserted. With but few exceptions, tho subcldy committee have been succeslul In se curing deeds from all th-i principal prop, erty owners, and are now w.iltlng lr hopes of Inducing the laggards to re spond to the call. In ono i two miner the committee have been met by un qualified refusals from parties known tr own considerable property held In the Mmes of others. It v,hib wlthcnt my lug that an American citizen powesses a perfect rl,ht to mult whatever dispo sition he pleases of his property, but when a business man transfers nil his belongings to a relative and manifests hii Indisposition to avoid the responsi bility of possible reverses Incidental to thu conduct! of large enterprises, It Is evident that something Is radically wrong, and that a fruit or peanut stanc would bo more suited to his llmltut' ability. Such a person has no sympathy with any steps for the prosperity of the community, und there is cause for re gret In tho rellectlcn that If the rail road enterprise Is carried to success, Its fruits will alike be shared In by tho man of progress and the Btumbllng-block. It would be interesting to know why den. Oresham should give up his pen sion, If he has accepted at the hands of President Cleveland the task of saving tho country, and fallen Into acts and at titudes that are ns disagreeable to old friends as they must be embarrassing to himself. It will be thirty years In July next since he was severely wounded vnd It Is understood he has had trouble arising from his wounds ever since When the policy of the secretary of thf Interior was pronounced against lien loim, and ho made so great n disturb ance about uble-lnwlifd men who were 3ii the list, the case of Gen. GreHhair was pointed out to show not that the secretary of Btate wns wrong,' but tha tho secretary of tho Interior wns mis taken. When Gen. G realism was aske for an explanation of dropping his pen Mon, he replied: "I have made up m: mind that the public Is not Interested it the matter." Ho Is mistaken. The pub 'lo Is Interested in it very much. Qen. Qresham is In this a representative man. tie is not a capitalist. Does he now, .fter many years drawing a pension drop it because he feels that he bar een doing wrong, or because ho be- 'leves it is Impolitic, or because It Is In- vinslHiont with his "attitude" as a dem icrat? How can he drop his peiiHlor without reflecting on his comrades one" himself? He cannot have become sud denly sensitive about drawing at once I pension and a salary. He did that U' the time he was a United States judge Perhaps the general fancies ho 1ms fathered so much popularity out in Hawaii that be Is In fine shape to take mother run for the presidency that Is, for a candidacy. A HOPEFUL VIEW. Tho Hotel World, published In Chi cago, attributes the prevailing buslnea depression more to overproduction than to the tariff tinkering, and prophecies an early return of prosperity. The World says; While the attention of many is turned to congress and the administration, nat ural lawn are working out the fate of our business institutions and in a favor able manner. Just as business In almost every lvntndi was overdone before the preswit depression. Just so much hs business been "under-done" (If the term may bc Uivd) during Ud pnst few L,t ..it.- .h N-.y M'-t Jo I politics baa fat been a factor; yet, even It wore not, the laws that govern bust ncs indicate a return, and socn, of bet ter times, no matter what Is dono in the way of legislation, finrnilal or otherwise.- If we attempt to account, In a meas ure, for the recent stagnation by as sciibln? It to legislation or expected ..io.i w, i ,mmw that nothing can wholly overcome the j law of supply and demand, the funda- j mental law of all business transactions. It is a fact that after the election last year not a few manufacturing Institu tions shut down and dischorged their employes. It makes no difference to what we attribute this movement on their part; whether they were Justified or not we all know that a demand for their products will cause, If not com pel, them to start up again ere long. Many large establishments have been conducted on half capacity, and they will, through a demand for their prod ucts, be compelled to run again at full strength. While profits were large manufactur ers were stimulated to over-production. That for a period caused temporarily what wc call good times. Then came a change. AVlth warehouse and storage space filled to the utmost certain causes led the manufacturers to believe It to their Interests to shut down, discharg ing help, und let the problem work ltsc-lf out. In some cases, wherein the national election may not have gone to their lik ing, the movement may have even been unnecessary. Be that as It may, the re mit has been the same. Now the conditions are favorable, must be favorable, to an awakening. Supplies in certain lines, we are told, are running low. Hard times, so called, have caused many persons to do with out conveniences, especially luxuries, and such a course on the part of the people will work toward a demand for new goods, new ware, new products and 'o supply these, with a low stock on hand, will mean a speedy return to Prosperity for a time nt least This In spite of the Wilson bill, free trade or tariff doctrines, monetary legislation or iny other measure on the part of the fovernmont. To sum up: Supplies are running low; a demand will set In mo .on the manufacturer, the merchant, the traveler, the hotel and the entire business machinery. CHANGE OF ADDRESS. Rev. L. Nissen, Scandinavian. German and English Lutheran Pastor, has re moved to the house of Mr. M. Larson Berrinn, W.
