Taxation in California.

4 correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin thus refers 10
the double taxation in that state.
This writer says: zone of the evils
of double taxation is made very
apparent in connection with the
subject of taxing wheat. On the
first Monday in March, at II
o'clock loon, (D the wheat will be
taxed; (2) the coin borrowed there
on will be taxed, and (3) the prom
issory note given by the borrower
to the lender will also be taxed.
Now it Is undeniable that the only
real values are the wheat and the
coin, but the law steps III and says
the contract 10 return the coin,
and also the coin itself. must he
taNed-that the contract has doub'
led the taxable value of the coin
Many of those who in 1879 voted
for this kind of taxation, now see
it in a different light. The truth
is, the present system of taxation
is about the worst that could have
been adopted, and the sooner it is
abandoned the better. 1t IS ever
more injurious to the interior than
To the city."

SAN FRANCISCO. .Jan.3l.-Among
the passengers who arrived on
board the City OF SydRey, on Sat
urdav afternoon, was his Majesty
King Kalakaua, the monarch of
the Hawaiian islands. He brings
with him VIM. Nevens Armstrong,
formerly attorney general, but
now royal commissioner of immi-
grafton; Col. c. H. Judd, cham
berlain; and Col. George Macfar-
lane. The royal party were re-
ceived by Henry w. Severance,
the Hawaiian consul, and by him
escorted, In the midst of the storm,
to the Palace hotel, where, with
other Oregonians, we had the
pleasure OF meeting him to-day.
The king is travelling in cognito
a Prince kalakaua, and Is bent ON
journey around the world in the
Interests of his kingdom and for
the benefit of his health. He will
probably remain here for about
ten DAYS, and then leave for Japan
and China, then by way of the
Straits Settlements 10 Calcutta,
overland to Bombay, thence
through the Suez canal, across the
Mediterranean to Italy, France
and England, and home by way of
New York and san Francisco.
His ultimate object in this grand
tour is to ascertain the most
suitable races of the peasant
or laboring class for his king
dom. A country with fertile land
enough to support over a million
population now has less than Co.
900, OF whom onc-tsnth are Chi
nese. The native population is on
the decrease. The Chinese do not
bring their wives and do not be-
come citizens. 1t is thought that
among the .Asiatic or East Indian
races a suitable class can be found.
The tour of investigation on this
immigration problem will probably
last seven or eight months. during
which time the government of the
kingdom is administered by the
Kings sister, H. II. Ii. Lydia

Why Thieves Are so skillful

1t is common to speak of the
skill and exploits of thieves as re-
markable. 1t is more remarkable
that thieves do not accomplish
greater things than are recorded of
them. The thief simply follows
his trade, making himself as thor
oughly competent in it as if he
were learning some other means
of obtaining bread. Those upon
whom he preys are careless and
forgetful, while he Is always watch
ing for an opportunity. Officers
of the law are paid when they
make no arrests, and there is little
incentive to catch a thief; so that
thieves, if they can guard agains,
the vigilance of the property own
er, which is rarely exercised as il
shonld be, have an easy road tc
travel. 1t is difficult to catch
them; it is difficult to prove their
crimes; they 90 to prison but a

The Poet of To-day.
The Athen:eul,L

To say the truth, the poet is not
quite so various as other people.
The fine egotism of the poet,
wich impels him to express his
emotions IN song, naturally deaf
ems his ears for the most part to
those deeper harmonies, musical
as is Apollo's Lutte" to which the
ears of the philosopher are attuned,
and blinds his eyes to the drama
harlequinade and tragedy-in
which the mere man of the world
plays with such guste his part.
But then we used to see this right;
we used To starve our poets once
and force them to hold horses at
the theater door. We coddle
them now. The poets intercourse
with the world Is through arts and
through books. His experience
of man is second hand. No man
Is so little able "to put himself in
another's place" And this proves
especially awkward for him when
he comes to write dramas.
