The Florida legislature met at noon on .Monday and will hold the biennial seasiou of sixty days. The democrats succeeded in organizing both brandies. They were able to do this because there were no repub licans to ol ject. It is said that the district attorney of Multnomah county gets (o from every woman ho has arrested in his county. One authority puts the number of that class at 2,000, hence it Is somewhat a source of revenue, is that Portland moral wave. Oh, for a James O. Rlaine, to con duct at this liino our ship of state!

' - , , i j 4.i i - '; !( Tho baro majority by which the supreme court upheld the validity of tho income tax law cannot be very assuring to its friends. Indeed, the court intimates that there are some questions not involved in the cases under consideration, which were not studied, but left as the court below had passed upon them. Another case may upset the whole law. The horticultural commissioners will wage a war on insect pests to fruit trees. If the commission does not adopt some harsh and offensive rules much gosJ will result from its apK)intment. There will probably bo some orchards that will have to be sacrificed, but if the proper neigh borly spirit is shown by the commis sion, the owners will, without doubt, second them in their demands. Oregon is Just now herself engaged in answering the Oregonian's ques tion as to what is needed to promote the prosperity of the state. She is shipping train loads of butter and -ggs, of potatoes and cattle Fast nnd to California. Forest drove Times. Yet, while the state is doing this, there is a fueling that Portland, with Us wealth and Us opMrtunitie4, is not hiiirtily seconding the effort of the territory Ix-yond it corsrate limits. Tliu system of squeezing the country is practiivd to an alarming extent. Now, that Hie republican', not withstanding the corrupt methods ol the democrats, have carried the city election in St. luis, Uov. Stone, of Missouri, has given out that he will call an extra session of the legislature for enacting election and registration laws and legislation to suppress cor rupt lobbies. The moral wave ha. struck hint now that he cannot help his party Into power. Why did he not do something in the direction of purity in elections when the legisla ture was in session, less than six weeks Hgo ? The V. S. Income tax, odious lie fore, is made more o by the derision of the supreme court. Its frrinds have found one of its principal Justi fications in the declaration that the excessive wealthy clas..cii would, by it, be made to contribute to the sup port of tho government, who had before eseasd. Rut by this division the classes w ho eiijoy greatest inenm- with the least effort at earning it esoe entirely. Mainly those in dustries carried by active litlair have tho burden of taxes to liear. Partic ular mention may lie made of manu factures, transportation and salaries. It is not intruded to question the decision of the court, but mention Is made to Kint out the unfortunate policy of adopting an income tax of any description. DOMESTIC it AS UFA CTVRES. Directly iu Hue with what was said last week about unity of actiou among Oregon producers, whether of raw matnrlal or manufactured products, and cousumen comes a circular from the committee of man ufactures of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Accompanying the circu lar Is an explanatory letter, In which occurs this tiensiblo paragraph : "Our desire is to have the con sumers patronize home production, in preference to the imported article, and the second reason Is to see more manufactories established here, in order to further the prosperity of this section of the country. This can be done only by first finding out what manufactories are already established here, how maDy hands are em ployed and the yearly output." This policy persistently persued will brinz its certain reward. The circular mentioned reads: "The standing committee on man ufactories of the Chamber of Com merce is desirous of promoting Indus. tries here, and wishes to become ac quainted with those establishment? already in operation, in order to sup port and encourage home Industries, rather than to seeure new 'ones win-re the Held Is already fully occupied. "You are, therefore, respect fully urged to communicate to tho chair man or secretary of this committee, it your earliest convenience, a con tlilential statement of your business. Including the number of hands em ployed, the scope of your business, the territory you undertake to cover, yearly output of your plant in the past and in anticipation, and should you sh? tit the amount of capital invested. ' It is desired that you should fully appreciate that it is the intention ot the committee, lu collecting this in formation, to gain such a knowledge of our manufacturing establishments .is will enable it to secure patronage for home Industries and prevent orders for supplies, etc., from lielug sent away." The committee, however, does not, wish to discourage new plants from locating here. On the contrary, it realizes that a manufactory is the real mint of a city; that the manufac turer takes a comparatively value It's product, and, by his work, gives it ar heightened intrinsic worth. It is not oul) that he employs labor and uses home product, but that he adds the absolute value, economic ally the most important factor in a prosperous community. The manu facturer's increase returns at once to the common fund, not only in wages to his emnlwpB, iut in his larger ' . . crude product, which - Into gold. In the i' u i have the wise bird . leu egg. Portland's .. .,:'' nerce does not wish - i. j U a rara avis in this com munity ; so, wherever there Is an opening and a desire to fill It, the committee wishes to be able to give would-be locaters valuable advice and, to deserving institutions, more material aid. THE SECRETARY OF STATE ASD THE COMM1SSIOXERS. Wo have too many state officials, ly one. Home years ago it was thought that there is need of an attorney-general, and that station was created and an officer chosen. He is to appear . for the state in matters of litigation, but, principally, It is his duty to advise the other state officers of their rights and duties, so that they may not plunge tho state into exNnsire litigation. All this is about to lie changed. The governor, himself something of a lawyer, un willing to trust himself fully, submit ted certain questions to the attorney general. That tidieer looked the Issiksover and arrived ut a decision which, l-ing tiled, intluemes the governor; but tho secretary of state seems to go it alone. No far he has not seen his way clear to audit (lie claims of the hold-oyer railroad com missioner for salaries. MolsaUiiit to plunge the state into eeisive lit igation, without any p-ilility of saviug anything to the state. For, if it should turnout that the attorney general has erroneously interpreted tho law and the present rommis--ioners bo ousted, another bisird would be appointed and the salaries of the new men would have to be paid. The state thus would gain nothing. True, by paying tlie pres. cut board, some of Mr. Ktncn Id's fa vorites might not Is-rome tiflii'ials of the commonwealth, but what dot the state care for that. i The secretary cannot re:.eal the law creating the commission, and he ' ought not act iu a way that will cause tho state to engage in an exNn sive lawsuit. The IxtiKPKXOt.ST thinks that there ought to have been some legislation on the sul ject of railroad commissioner, but there was none, wherefore, it Is a prodigal cxs-ndi-tureof sound Judgment to fuss around now in an attempt to make a show of repealing a law, which I an impossibility. The time is at hand for the repub lican clulis to take the first step for the campaign of lsrtt). The meeting in May is an important one, nnd this eounly should have a full representa tion there. We, as a county, want a voice in the national council. This, we ran get if we have the representa tion at Portland, to which we are en MM, 1'orest Urove and Ulcnene have already elected delegates; Hills lsro has called it meeting, and Gas ton, It is understood, has biken the matter in band. MEFORMA TOR Y WORK'. The OregonUu enumerates some of the many changed that have been made by the management of the Roys and Girls Aid Society within the past few weeks, where the chil dren have been directly Interested. "Six have beeu placed out and five received. Three incorrigible boys have been brought by their parents to Superintendent Gardner, and in formally turned over to the care of the society. The superintendent has placed them on parole. There are now twenty boys on parole, ranging In age from 11 to 18 years. The boys all seem to be behaving themselves much better, and there is no doubt that there is a decided Improvement. Several have been reinstated in their schools, and fire obliged to attend some place of worship and Sunday school. Most of the boys report on Saturday, but there are a few who re port on Sunday, being unable to leave their work on Saturday. There are uo won hand at the home twenty six children, nineteen belug boys and seven girls. These children range In age from 4 to 14 years. There is also one girl baby, aged two months, very pretty ami desirable, of good parent age; one girl baby, aged two weeks; and two boy babies, aged three weeks each. Application for any of these will be; thankfully received and acted on by the superintendent at the city board of charities, iu the mornings, between 9 and ten o'clock." . . From this report It will be noticed that the society has recently under taken work that had before been done in a harsher way by the state reform school. There Is gain to the state by this departure. The boys become at once selt'-supportiug' and retain self resecl, and the state saves tho ex pense of clothes and board. If a boy is to be reclaimed by this plan, good; but if be still persists In his objection able ways he is landed in the reform school. Indeed, the threat of that place hangs over him, and is a con tinual spur to good behavior. THE 'INCOME TAX. t'b ii f Justice Fuller, on Monday, read in part the decision of the U. S. supreme court ou the validity of the income tax of 1 894. The act Is sus tained in part and in part set aside. His points are: "1. That by the constitution fed eral taxation is divided Into two great classes direct taxes and duties, imposts aud exercises. "2. The imposition of direct taxes is governed by the rule of apportion ment among the several states, ac cording to numbers and Imposition of duties, imposts and excises by the rale of uniformity throughout the United States. "3. That the principle that the taxation and representation go to gether was Intended to be and was preserved in the constitution by the establishment of the rule of apporT tioumeut among the several ats so that such apportionment should be according to numbers in each state. "4. That the states surrendered their power to levy imposts and to regulate commerce to the general government, and gave it the concur rent power to levy direct taxes in re liance on the protection afforded by the rules prescribed, and that the promises of the constitution cannot lie disturbed by legislative action. "5. That these conclusions result from the text of the constitution aud are supported by the historical evi dence furnished by the circumstances surrounding the framing and adop tion of that instrument, and the views of those who framed and adopted it- "(I. That the understanding and exectalion at the time of the adop tjon of the constitution was that di rect taxes would not be levied by the general government, except under the pressure of extraordinary exi gency, and such lias been the practice down to August 13, 139. If the M)wer to do so is to be exercised as an ordinary and usual means of sup ply, that fact furnishes an additional reason for circumspection In dispos ing oft he present case. '( That taxes on real estate be long to the rla4 of direct (axes, and the taxes on the rent or income of real estate, which Is the Incident of its ownership, belong to the same class. "8. That by no previous decision of this court has this question been adjucated contrary to the conclusions now announced. "D. That so much ol the act of August lo, 13'Jl, as attempts to 1m Mise a tax upon the rent or Income of real i mate without apportionment is invalid. "The court is further ut the opinion ,hHt ,ne vt ol August 15, 1891, Is in. valid so far as It attempts to levy a tax upon the income derived from municipal bonds. As a municipal corHrat!on is the representative of the state, and one of the instrumen talities of the state government, tho pnK-rty and revenues of municipal corporations are not subject, of fed eral taxation, nor is the income de riveil from state, county aud munici pal stvurilie, ince taxation on the interest therefrom operates on the power to borrow before it is exer cised, and has a sensible influence on the contract, and, therefore, such a tax is a tax on the power of the state and their instrumentalities to borrow money, and consequently repugnant to the constitution." Justice Field dissents and holds the entire act is null and void. Jus ti.v White di-etit, but holds that the law is valid, except as It taxes state and municipal bonds. Justice Harlan orally dissented from the ma jority. He holds that a tax upon in comes front lands Is not the subject of specific taxation lu any form by the I'uited Stales. The effect of all the opinions de livered Is to show that the court was uuatiimous lu the opinion that the law Is unconstitutional as to tnunicl pal and state bodds, and that Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray, Brewer, Brown and Shiras hold it to be invalid on incomes derived from rents. Justices Harlan and White dissented from this opinion as to tents. It Is impossible to state the exact division as to the validity of the other parts of the law, further than was disclosed by the proceedings. It appears quito clear that Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan and White voted to sustain the other parts of the law, and the best opinion obtainable is that Justice Brown stood with them In this opinion, which would leave Justices Field, Gray, Brewer and Shiras as the opponeuts of the law as a whole. tftOX PEAK TO PEAK. The foliowlug circular Is Interest ing to all alike, as it gives the details of adventure never before under taken. It is now made possible only by tho experiments of our army ou the broad prairies and plains of the Rocky mountain plateau. Rut here is the body of the circular : " 'Manama' is the name of a soci ety of mountain climbers. It was organized on the summit of Mount Hood, Oregon, on the 19th day ol July, 1894, at which time and place the constitution and by-laws were adopted and first officers elected. Its organisation was unique and suc cessful. The experience of its mem bers on that occasion inspires them to further achievements. The moun tains furnish delight and Inspiration which no man or woman can know or dream save those who have at tained 'exaltation' on the heights. There's health, Joy and freedom there. This year their aspiratlou Is to convey by means of heliograph: along the line of snow capped peaks a sunbeam message from British Columbia to Mexico. Washington, Oregon and California are Invited to co-operate and carry out this plan. The principal mountains in Oregon and Washington available for the purpose, beginning at the North, are: miter, Kainler, bt. Helens, Adams, Hood, Jefferson, Three Sis ters, Diamond Peak, Thielson, Scott and Pitt, and in California, Mounts Shasta, Teliae, Round-Top, Dana, I.yell, Stiilmau, Whitney, Iiwe, Raldy, and such other peaks as are necessary to complete the chain. Citizens residing in the vicinity of the various mountains available for the purposes above suggested are besought to 'take a hand' and aid the attempt. Arrangements can, be made so that parties on sub-peaks, or in the valleys and towns along the line can communicate with tlree on their main mountains, and each group of mountains can, from their several signal stations, 'tele graph,' by flashes, to their neigh bors below the fact of their presence on the peaks, and also the fact that the 'message' from Rritish Columbia is on its way and of the transmission of the answer from Mexico, The Intention Is to send a message from - British Columbia lo Mexico and transmit an answer from Mexi co to British Columbia, and as each message passes a signal peak, such signal peak Is to report the fact to all such sub-stations, and groups in Valleys and towns In their vicinity, as are prepared to receive it. Storms may obscure some main peaks, so numerous side stations, or sub-peak, are desirable to secure transmission of the through message. The Instrument to be used Is the modern heliograph, such as Is in use in the regular army, operating the Morse OiHe.' ' Heliograph instruments ran be obtained or prepared at com ra ti vely small expense. The secretary will, on application, furnish ad dresses of regular manufacturers, and Information for making suitable In struments sufllriont for the purpose. The date fixed for this event is the 10th day of July, Is9". The main body of Maxamas as a society will assemble at Mount Adams In the state of Washington. Correspondence I being oened and desired with all outing clubs, athletic, mountain, military, 'univer sity and scientific organizations on the coast. The government ofHcers and vsri ous state military organizations are invited to arrange details from their signal corps 'to aid the grand design.' ach party is requested to arrange for procuring photographic views of the several 'camps' and principal points of Interest, particularly of the group of climbers on the peaks attained. Correspondence is solicited, and information will be supplied by the society. Address all communications to T. Bhook Wiiitk, free., H Worcester Block. Great Britain has not received an invitation to Join the United States in a survey of the Nicaragua canal, and the wonder on this side of the ocean is that she should expect to receive such an invitation. Britain's declared purpose to insure British trade being placed on the same foot ing with that of other nations Is a kind of a threat also unneecessary, F.nglish ships will be permitted to use the canal on the rnme terms as othr foreign nations aUd not other wise. 9 The president thinks an extra ses sion of congress will not be necessary. Highest of all ia Leavening 1 I V S Absolutely pure Yei.er.ucla would be outclassed in a fight with England, but the battle is not always to the strong. Courage aud a good cause count for something, and the little South Americau has both. News comes that the revolutionists of Cuba have declared their inde pendence and have set up a republl can form of government at Uuantan a mo In the province of Puerto Prin cipe, which includes the central part of the eastern half of the Island. No doubt our government will be asked to acknowledge the independence of the new republic, and upon their showing their ability to maintain the same, it will be recognized. A. R. Hammond, he who pur chased the Corvallis-Yaqulna rail' mad, has Us n talking, lie gives it out that after the suits that are now liemiiiig in tne supreme court are decided, if in his favor, he will com nienco Improving his property. Branches ' are projected to Eugene and to Salem. He too, will build across the Cascades Into Eastern Ore gon, and ultimately to an eastern connectiou. ,v If we have not our own home mar kets the United htates cannot expect to sell in Europe, where the maLufac turers are able to make goods cheap enough to send to this country and undersell us at a profit. If goods made iu Bradford can be sent here and sold at a figure to pay the manu facturers. those manufacturers can also surely undersell us in their own country. Morning News, Wilming ton, Del., March 20th. Although a powerful nation and somewhat Inflated with vanity by reason of her military and naval strength, England is not entirely free from anuoyances. Just now when she is endeavoring to adjust some disputes in Venezuela and Nicaragua, complications arise in Africa. England has claimed an interest in all that territory of the dark continent drained by the Nile and its branches. The claim is made though the boundaries ore exceed ingly misty, as there are regions that have not been explored or described- The French, too, have colonies that are reaching out and overlapping sotneof jlhe territory claimed by the British. It seems to be tho Ameri can colonial disputes over agaiu. In the strained relations that now exist between the two governments. France seems to have the support of Belgium and Ciermany. An active African war between England and France would leave America free to pursue her paths of peace.
