Mr.. Tom Ewing proposes to tax all in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000 2H
per cent, all between $40, 900 and $780,
600 s. per cent, and all over $50, 900 10
per cent. Why does Mr.. Tom Ewing
stop the ascending scale at $40, 900
Why not go right on and say all between
$50. 200 and Sc, 900 20 per cent, all be-
tween $40. 900 and $50, 600 80 per cent,
and so on up to 100 per cent, which
would be reached as soon as the income
amounted to $120, 600? All income
above that would be absolutely confis-
Gated. Logically, there is no place 10
stop short of this limit, from which fact
it will be seen that the Tom Ewing
scheme is logically q communistic
scheme of confscation. It does not go
quite so far as some of the advanced
communists would have it go. but there
is nothing to hinder the extension of the
principle to the absolute confscation of
all private property.

twenty-seven steamers and three barges

Barretrs benefit, last Friday, was
I largely attended. Ii was perhaps the
most murderons performance ever given
Of "Julius Cesar" Willie Seymour
was called before the curtain at the end
OF the third act for poor rendition OF
I Marc Antony. Mr.. Barrett wisely gave
/ the forum scene for him in the follow
/ ing act. At its conclusion he was called
/ before the curtain, and a poem, written
/ by Mr.. A. I. Hawley, Of San Francisco,
was read by Judge Deadly. The Sunday
| Welcome describes its rendition in the
following truthful manner: Judge
Deady's song at Barrett's benefit sur
prised even his most Intimate friends
by the latent powers of vocalism dis
played. Many, however, would have
preferred 10 hear some talented elocu-
ZIONIST, like Colonel J. McCraken, read
the poem, instead OF hearing the Judge
sing IL without an orchestral accompa-
niment.h The performance would have
been more satisfactory II the prompter
had been provided with trumpet; his
words would have been a little more
audible.
A lady In North Portland, the other
day, ordered the Celestial who presides
over the culinary department OF her
household to prepare a certain kind Of
pudding for dessert, in which the flavor
ing essence was extract Of lemon. The
"little brown man. informed her that
"me no got lemen." She was going up
to a grocery store, and said she would
get bottle Of the extract. She returned,
but forgot the extract. The domestic
shortly after was sent up stairs for
something, and discovered a lemon bot
tie filled with light-lOoking fluid. He
thought the lady bad forgotten to give
him the lemon, and so carried the bottle
down and favored the savOry dessert
with the contents. When the pudding
was served, it was discovered that some
thing was wrong. IL was not particu-
larly good. The madam Remembered
she had failed to get the essence OF
lemon, and inaugurated an investigat-
ing committee. She now thoroughly
believes that hair oil, even If kept in a

taste to anything. The young lady Of
the house, ia one of the little freaks that
20 mortal person can understand, had
filled a lemon bottle with the oleagin-
Gus article. Kearney's slogan, "rhe
Chinese must GO" fell on the inno-
cents fan-like ear, and the poor MongOl
now ponders over the eccentricities Of
a Mclean woman's toilet as he waits
for another situation that will yield
him the munifieent sum of four dollars
per week.
