1t is stated on good authority that
Mayor Ames is about to start in
Minneapolis democratic weekly
paper. The plans in detail are as yet
somewhat incomplete, but DIR. Ames
states that just as soon as an outfit can
be secured the paper will be started
That it will be a first class weekly
paper in every respect, and is to be es-
tablished for the sole purpose of pre-
senting the democratic in a concise,
clean-cut manner; that bIackguar-
dism will be strictly eschewed, and
everything will be handled at all times
in a gentlemanly manner. The object
is solely to further the interests of the
democracy, and is positively not for
purpose of advancing any scheme of
DR.. Ames, whose name will seldom if
ever appear in it's columns. The size
and name has not yet been decided
upon, but it will probably be called
the News Letter.

AS Bad AS the Toy Pistol.

New York Sun.
A rag man who was walking through east
Seventeenth yesterday, bowling Rags,
bots" suddenly became quiet, slapped his
hand to his left eye, and then ran rapidly
toward Second avenue. In the distance a
small boy grew smaller and smaller. The
rag man gave up the chase and turned into
Second avenue. Then the boy came back,
and stationing himself in an area, waited
for more victims. In his hand he held a
how about eighteen inches long. A small
hole was cut in the center of the bow through
which ran the shaft of an arrow. The boy
had pocketful of hard clay balls. He put
one on the head of the arrow, pulled back
the string, and let fly. The arrow was sud
denly stopped by shoulder near the butt
end, and the clay ball flew off with velocity
approaching that of pistol shot.
This continuance is becoming popular with
the boys, and it is said to be formidable
rival to the toy pistol.

Prof. A. B. Donaldson, editor OF
the Alexandria, Post died suddenly
last Tuesday. Mr.. Donaldson while
at the depot at Alexandria to meet a
niece, expected on an incoming
train, suddendIy dropped dead on the
platform. Heart disease is supposed
to be the cause. Mr.. Donaldson was
most worthy man, highly esteemed
and useful citizen of our neighboring
village and his death produces great
sorrow in the community. The news
of his death will be received with sim
cere regret by many friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the state.
He once occupied a chair in our state
university.

The Next Question.
Chicaoo Tribl

Chicago Tribune.
In Scotland they have narrow, open bitches,
which they call sheep-drains. A man was
riding donkey one day across a sheep pas
ture, but when the animal came to the sheep
drain he would not go over it. So the man
rode him back to short distance, turned
him around and applied the whip, thinking,
of course, that the donkey, when going Mt the
top of his speed, would jump the drain before
he knew it, But not so. When the donkey
got to the drain, he stopped all of a sudden,
and the man went over Mr.. Neddy's head.
No sooner had he touched the ground than he
got up, and, looking his beast straight in the
face, said, Vera weel pitched; but then hoo
are We going 20 get over yerselF

Double omoers.

In Japan the Emperor always ap-
pointed two men to fill the same civil
office una,r the government with lie
purpose of making each a spy upon the
other and thus securing the honest per-
formance of its duties. This novel
idea has been introduced into the
United States and now in addition to
regular revenue, land officers, Indian
agents ETC., who, are sworn and give
bonds, we have al unknown mum Der
Of special agents who roam aronnd the
country of their own sweet will at the
government expense for the purpose
of examining the regular officers and
their manner of doing the business. 1t
is the duty of the special to pounce
down upon the unsuspecting official and
detect him in dereliction Of duty, some
private arrangement with bank, dis
tiller or brewer which would insure to
his private benefit. If the newspaper
reports are to be taken as true this pre-
caution is not entirely unnecessary. 1t
is expensive however and foreign to
our form Of government, and we would
suggest that these trusted specials
should have been appointed to the offices
IN the first place.

Labor Organizations

The strike of the telegraph operators
still continues and has lately been in
creased by the operators upon several
Of the railroad lines giving up their
keys. The companies insist that they
have their full complement Of men and
that their business is being carried on
as usual, but the maagre press dis
patches give the lie to this statement
The public would readily excuse the
quantity if what was sent was impor-
tant, but it now receives only the
crimes ard casualties at places that
nobody ever heard Of and nobody
cares to read. We are
glad TO know that the strikers hold
bravely out and the Western Union
monopoly is suffering for its greed and
extortion Whether or not the orer-
ators gain their point it is certain they
have adopted the only course that
could insure success, that Of forming
protective association. AS individuals
they were powerless, but united in one
body they possess a power that must
make itself felt. The company could
discharge, without Inconvenience, a
| few individuals who demanded more
pay or less work, but it is very dif-
ferent matter when the whole Brother
hood Of telegraphers make the demand.
1t could say to an individual, If you
are not satisfied with your pay you
can find some other work, and dismiss
a man who having spent the best years
of his life in acquiring the necessary
skill to do this work properly, Is un-
fitted for any other, but it cannot
afford to lose all its skilled workmen
at one time.
Ut is the riglt as well as the
duty Of lador to protect itself, and
the only way in which this can be done
Is by prote, tive associations Cal ital
has its Bankers association, Nlanufac-
turers, Distillers, Iron and Steel and
other organizations to protect it's inter.
ests, and why should not skilled labor,
which forms the only capital Of SC
many of our people, protect itself in
the same manner? There need be ne
antagonism between capital and labor
Men viii buy where they can buy
cheapest AMI sell where they can gel
the highest price. manufacturers
publishers and telegraph companies
will obtain skilled labor at the loves
: possible price, and the skilled workman
will demand the highe st wages that ht
can secure. Heretofore, capital ha
} had the advantage, but when labor ha
perfected a thorough organization b,
means Of Trade Unions, which is bein;
rapidly done, the contest Will be NOR
eqnal. Then the question Of wage
5 will be a matter of negotiation, as an
I other business transaction, and th
workman will command tie highes

THE INDEPENDENT. I.
Mortgage Tax.

The Oregonian, in a last fainting
wall for the Portland capitalists who
are compelled to pay their proportion
of taxes by the operation of the mort
gage tax law, commences a column OF
q balderdash with the following sen
tence:
Given though it be true that the
purpose to tax creditaf in our State IS
firmly fixed and never will be aban-
doned, the fact does not prove, becarse
nothing can prove, that the policy is
anything but an unscientitic one, con
demned everywhere by an intelligent
experience. Every attempt to tax
credits has the effect, in the long run,
to make the borrower, or debtor, pay
the tax, not to the State, but to the
bender This is elementary and axiom
attic"
If it is true that it is the borrower
who is compelled to pay the tax, then
why is it that all the complaint comes
from the lich capitalists whom the op-
Grafton Of the law shows have been, in
years past, evading the payment OF
taxes, both State and local, upon their
money. Here IN Douglas county alone
more than $4,000 will be added to the
taxable property of the county, unGer
the new law, wIfeh heretofore was un-
taxed, and this tax will have to be paid
by persons abe to bear their share OF
the burdens of taxation.
On all, or nearly all of these large
sums the borrower is paying the high
est contract rate allowed by law, and
the lender can charge nothing more
and will take nothing less, regardless
of the tax. Then how and in what
way is the borrower compelled to pay
to the lender the amount of this tax
And even if he did, his land pays no
more tax than his neighbor's, who hap
pens to be so unfortunate as to be out
of debt.
That the moneyed power would de
wise ways and means to exempt ths IL
accumulated wealth from taxation and
force honest labor to bear the entire
burdens of government, is self-evident
from the strenuous exertions they are
making to defeat the mortgage tax law
That the OregoEiqn and the party o.
which it is the leader should lend them
selves for such base purpose, is not tt
be wondered at; but to attempt to con
vince the people that they theuselve
will be injured, by forcing capitalist
to pay their just share of the taxes
exhibits an amount of cheek neve
before exhibited in Oregon.
When 1t asserts that the policy o
taxing credits is condemned every
where by an intelligent experience,
challenges The intelligence of nearl
every State in the Union. It was ON
ing to the persistent effort Of capital t
escape taxation, and the conflicting de
cisions Of the Supreme Court of Cal
fornia npon the constitutionality Of tn
mortgage tax-law of that State, tha
brought about their new constitution
in which the organic law of that Stat
declares in unmistakable terms on TIL
question; in which convention thel
was fully as much enlightened intell
gence as is necessary to run the Or
gonian.
