C Pylvester Pennoyt-r. lvr Sir him Brother. Your esteemed favor a. hand. While I regret my Inability to furnUh employment for all you constituents, I will say, that owlnj to the success of my administration nearly every laboring man in tin United States is out of a Job. Th people wanted a change and they an getting It, now let them take their medicine. You say that two-thirdi-of the people of Oregon are out oi employment. My dear governor, you are extemporizing through your hat. You're olf your Nannie. Yot have a population of 280,000. OI this number, according to the census, are 73,500 males, (57,000 females, and 13H.000 children. Two thirds of 280,000 Is 180,000. There are at least 20,000 merchants, farmers, office holders, and clerks. There are 1.1, 000 Chinamen. This would make, Including women, children, China men, merchants, farmers, etc., 238. 000. Now, then, If two-thirds an out of work, there would be 22,000 men, all the women and children, all the poor chinamen and 17,000 merchants, farmers, clerks and offi cers. My dear Sylvester, you appear to be short on finance and long on statistics. You also had too many Thanksgivings, which was incom patible with my administration. 1 feel sure, however, li at your letter to me will secure you several bun. dred votes at the June election, which was probably your object in writing It. You will please excuse haato and a bad pen, but I have Juhi received a message from Queen LI! stating that she bus the Windy Colic in fact it appears to be epidemic with this administration. We ore all well and hope this letter will tind you enjoying the same blessing. Done at Washington, this 4th day of June, In the year of our Lord A.

Demsrratle Wrangle A boot Taxe. Tho democrats who are expressing doubts of the passage of the Internal taxea recently agreed upon by tht committee on ways and means can furnish good reasons for the fear that la In them. A strong fljht will be made In their party against the general and corporation Income taxes. Such Impost are so unusual and ao objectlonablo that they are certain to arouse the bitter hostility of a large portion of the country. It is known that, though, the president has agreed to sanction a corporation tax, he is opposed to the taxation of general Incomes. The whole eastern section of his party Is resolute and unalterably hostile to both schemes. Neither form of taxation can get half a dozen democratic votes In con grena from tho region east of Ohio and north of Virginia. Of course the bulk of the republicans all over the country will oppose both forms of taxes. Taxation of general and corporation Income) Is legislation against a section as well as against a class and Is sure to seriously embarrass and weaken the party proposing It. A large ma jority of the persons who would pay those taxes reside in the eastern states. The western and southern democrats want to tax Incomes of of both sorts because they know tha such Imposts, comparatively speak ing, will not strike their locality. They are endeavoring to throw the burdens of government oft their own shoulders and to trut them to the rest of the country. The party which has leen howling against mi'tional ism every since the slavery question Introduced a sectional element into politics here embraces sectionalism of the most radical and vicious form. Two great divisions of the country make a sweeping and vindictive as sault on Ihe other divl-lon, and nt s time and by method which can not fall to embnrrsas the government and damage the party which is in control of governmental affair. As the chances are overwhelming! v aealnst the enactment of an Income tax law In any form the question arise, How is revenue to be fiirni-hed for the support of the government? If the Income taxes fail of pa-sage from 130,0(10,000 or f.10,000,000 will have to be raised from some other source to fill up the gap. In this exigency the ways and means com mittee will be strongly tempted to put raw sugar on the dutiable list. A few democratic congressmen favor the placing of a duty on sugar, tea and coffee, and they will make them selves heard if the income tax devices are defeutcd. But a duty on these articles would be opposed by a large element of the democracy and by the practically solid vote of the republican party, and would probab ly full of enactment. It will be seen that the perils to the democracy from Its wrangling over the revenues are numerous and serious, and defeat for the party on account of them in the elections this year and In 18 seems Inevitable. ."store Is klDd to Her ( hlldres. The New York Tribune thus speaks of the iK-nellcence of nature: "In what a wonderful tsy does nature provide for unexpected emer gencies. Take, for Instance, the ex isting situation in several of the western slates. It hs long lieen known, of course, that for the ordin ary ass the thistle either Canada or Scotch furnished useful and nutriti ous food. In agricultural neighbor hoods there is more or less prejudice against the thistle, in there is in cul tivated Intellectual circles against the ass. Efforts have been niado to ex terminate the thistle, but nature has successfully resisted them up to date, and it seems probable that tho plant will flourish so long as the ass sur vives. The, simultaneous Appearance, however, during the last year of such governors as Waitn, of Colorado, Lewelllng, of Kansas, and Pen noyer, of Oregon, has raised a doubt in the minds of thoughtful men as to the sufficiency of the ordinary thistle crop to supply the extraordinary de mand. At this point provident nature steps in. Tho emergency has been met by tbe appearance in the northwest of a new variety ot thistle, known as the Russian, which grows to four feet In height and seventeen feet In circumference, as Appears from a specimen forwarded to the agricultural department at Washing ton. Manifestly this is an effort of nature to make provisions for the new order of governors now brows ing over our prairies. It Is an en deavor to keep up the relative pr.i portion of the ordinary ass. Four ftt't by seventeen may not prove en tirelj adequate, luit It is at least n gixsl beginning. It illustrates ihe marvel'ius fertility and adaptability of nature. The popular vote In the reeeni vlectlons, whicl. resulted favorably to tho republicans, dts-s not present the usual features of an "oft" year" contest. For Instance, In Ohio the republicans cast a bigger vote In November last than in 1892. the fig ures being 4.').'I,342 in 1893, and 40",1S7 in 182. On theother band the dem ocratic vote, which was 401,115 In 1892, fell oft to 352,317 In 1893. It Is quito evident from this that the suc cess of the republicans was due to a transfer of nt least 40,000 democratic votes, and not to the apathy of the democrats, as has been rashly as sumed by somo partisan writers. The case of Ohio Is most significant, but the figures of Massachusetts are also full of meaning, showing as they do that the republican majority was largely swelled by defections of dem ocrats, who were dissatisfied or ap prehensive of the results of the free trade policy of their party. It is the study of these figures that Is causing Wilson ho much trouble, for the dem ocrats from Northern States under stand their meaning and are not de luded into believing that the transfer of democratic votes to the republican protectionist column in 1893 was due to Impatience over tho failure of Cleveland to curry out his suicidal free trade policy. The country has had several so- called "business" congresses, but the body which best tleserved that des ignation was tho one which extended from 18G1 to 18(53, the popular branch of which was presided over by Oa- lusha A. Grow, who has Just been nominated for congressman-at-large by the Pennsylvania republicans. In the extra session of that body which began on July 4, UC1, and ended on August fi, sixty-one public and seven private bills ami five Joint n-solutions were pansed. Most of those were measures of the highest Importance. That extra scwaion, which lasted a little less thsn five weeks, revised tne Morrill tariff, ap propriated large sums of money for1 the army and navy, arranged for tne enlistment of 500,00(1 volunteers, and made general provision for the pros ecution of the war. That lusly the thirty-seventh emigre was largely compoMsJ of able, resolute and patri otic men, and one of Ihe sturdiest, most public s)irits and most useful of all of them was Seaker Orow.

The Press, of New York, under date of January 8, say the key to the Hawaiian riddle comes in a pri vate letter dated from Honolulu, December 14, ten days la-fore the departure of theCorwin. The letter Is from Dr. M. E. Urossman, of Hono lulu, Inclosing a memorandum from one of tho petty officers on board the British gunboat Champion, now tit Honolulu. Dr. Grossman writes: Jlecember 7. The Champion left Honolulu harbiur for the ostensible purose of going to the island ot Maul and having shell practice. She left Honolulu but did not go to Maul. Instead, she steamed it couple ol hours up and down the front of Hon olulu harlior, the crew all the time going through gun drill and taking sights on all the provisional govern ment buildings whero the troops an stationed, ammunition stored and public offices established. The Champion then steamed a little further' out and had some shell prac tice, returning to fh harlsir late in the day, but not a man from either the (British or United States ships was allowed to go on shore." The memorandum from on Isiard the British gunboat which Dr. Gross man incloses, is as follows : "Tuesday, Doc. 7 When off shore she had gun drill and sighting on buildings where .the provisional gov ernment troops are stationed and ammunition stored, and on police headquarters. It is the intention that as soon as the queen Is restored by the United Statvs troops and they may retire, the queen Is to npeal to the British minister, Major Wood bum, for protection. The English flag is to be hoisted and a protector ale declared over Hawaii. Troops from the Champion will land under the protection of the British guns." Grossman writes, further : "Such plans will not be a surprise to anybody, because quite in accord with all the previous ideas of British seizure, and neither more nor less than the execution of Id. us for many years cultivated, by British interests, it-is well known thai Tlieopholus II.. 'i.ivie .lias laeu intriguing for upwards of. 12 mouths to attain such a result, nl is evident that since the queeu's first refusal to Willis to Htiomit to r(toration to tho ihrone Utile sustained, by the face of American arms, ber British- friends have iM-en advising her to accept Willis' proposal and thus gain res toration by, power of. United Stales diplomacy and arms, after which, the provisional government being out, she could promptly apply to Great Britain for support and turn tho islands and dependencies over to Great Britain. This could .not be re garded in the light of an affront to the United States by Great Britain, because President Cleveland had, for the United States, withdrawn the treaty and rejected all overtures looking toward annexation." Dr. Grossman states that his infor mation was derived direct from Brit ish naval officers. A few days ago 1 was in one of our large stores purchasing a few things, and one of the lady clerks, partly to effect a sale if possible and partly to pass the tinie away while we were waiting for my purchase to come back from the wrapping counter, called my attention to a number of desirable books that were la-lug rold at remarkably low prices and said : "It seems so strange that when everything Is so cheap no one will buy." "Yes," said, I "that is just why they are so cheap. If times were good people could pay higher prices more easily. Yet it is this condition of cheap things with no ability to buy them thut ageat many eople want to make permanent in this country." She looked at me as though she did not understand my meaning, and I doubt if she did, or if she knew whether it was the Wil son bill or Bill Wilson that was caus ing the country to hold lis breath. I was te:upted to go on and explain that this cheapness is only Hpparant, but that in tact everything is (b arer now, l-cause it takes a larger prosr- tion of what one can earn but ju-t I ben my package came and I went away. I do not kirw whether she grasped my meaning at all, but if she loses her Job because there is nothing for her to do, as msny oilier others have done, she may realize that the pres ent cheapness of g iods is I lie dearest thing the people of America have b?n offen-d for many a year.
