Rowe for injuries received by fall
ing on a defective sidewalk was
then taken up, and thereupon alder
man Meunster presented a paper
signed by IS tax payers of the city,

AN exchange says; Considerable
wheat has been stacked in Dakota,
that it may have an opportunity to
sweat. The extreme hot weather
ripened the grain in a little more
than half the usual time, and if
threshed in its present condition it
will be next to impossible to keep it
from heating. Hence a considerable
portion of the crop will be some
what delayed in marketing.

THE reply Of Secretary Bayard to
the application in behalf of Louis
Riel, the Canadian rebel, is the most
sensible declaration that has issued
from the State Department under
the present Administration. His
decision is to the effect that the
United States Government will not
interfere of its own motion in the
case of a man tried for violating the
laws of foreign Government, either
to ascertain whether he is a native
or adopted citizen Of the United
States, or for any other purpose.

| Some OF the ablest men in the Legisla-
ture were in favor Of enacting a law for
5, curing a just and fair assessment Of
property. A bill was introduced and
passed. by the Senate that was meant 10
accomplish that object. The House, how
ever, etruck 0ut OF it the only provisions
that were important for the reason, ap-
parcntly, that these provisions were based
on the assumption that the taxpayers
could not be trusted to make honest re-
turns Of their property.
Tho bill certainly was based on the as
sumption mat q very large percentage Of
The properly Of ;he State does not bear its
proportion Of the burdens Of taxation, and
the assumption is correct. Those mem
bers Of the House who opposed the bill,
as ii came from the Senate, know that
there are plenty of tax payers in every
county who do not deal honestly with the
state. There are taxpayers, of course,
who make an honest return Of
thei- property, but it is not certain
that they are In the majority. In
striking out of the assessment bill, there
fore, its only important feature the
House practically said to dishonest tax
payers that they might continue to cheat
the State, and that the Legislature would
protect them IN doing it.
statement was made in one Of the
Rome, Ga, papers, day or two ago, that
the grand jury Of Floyd county, in eXamin-
ing the tax lists, came across many
instances in which property owners had
returned their property far below its cash
value In one instance property that was
returned at S205 had been sold, few
days before the grand jury made its in
yestigation, for 5000.
The tax returns in every county in the
State, doubtless, will show that the State
is defrauded out of a third or half of its
legitimate revenue.
Can anybody explain why it is that the
Legislature prefers to raise the tax rate
and increase the burdens OF honest tax
payers rather than enact law that VIII
secure a fair assessment, make every
property owner pay nj fair share of the
taxes and give the State an ample revenue
at low tax rate? The only explanation
is that the tax-dodgers are in the ma
jority, and that the Legislature Is afraid
TO offend them.

Frances supplementary Election.
The result of the election in France to-
day in the departments in which there was
no choice at the regular election on Oct.
(, will be awaited with deep interest, not
only in France but throughout Europe.
The election on Oct. was a surprise. 1t
was not expected that the Conserya-
tives would show so much strength.
The Republicans expected to main
tain their hold on the govern
ment, and that was the general
expectation. II the election to-day does
not result largely in their favor they will
not be able to form government. In
deed, if they carry every department
they will not have a working majority in
the Chamber of Deputies, and will have
to form an alliance with the Radicals if
they undertake to carry on the govern
ment. But what does an alliance with
the aggressive revolutionary Radicals
mean? Does it not mean that the Radi-
Gals VIII have the upper hand, and VIII
make only such terms as will suit them
selves. They viii not be slow to recog-
nize their power, and it is certain that
they will lose no opportunity to advance
the interests of their party. If the Repub-
licans do not give them what they want
they may find the Conservatives ready to
listen to them.
Should the Conservatives gain a large
majority Of the seats that are to be voted
for to-day they would be in position per-
haps to make it impossible tor the Repub-
licans, even il they formed an alliance
with the Radicals, to form a permanent
government. They would feel doubtless
that they had the confidence of the people,
and that at the next election they would
be intrusted with power. They would,
therefore, struggle for a dissolution of the
Legislature and another appeal to the
people.
| In neither their hands nor the hands OF
the Radicals, however, would the repub-
/ lie be safe. The conservatives are mon
archiets and the Radicals are revolution.
lists. Those who love the republic fear
both the Radicals and the Conservatives,
but they fear the Radicals more than they
do the Conservatives because the triumph
OF the Radicals means a reign OF terror
1t Is possible that in the election OF Oct
4, the large vote which the Conservatives
received was due to great extent to the
fear the people have that the Radicals
will eventually control the Republican
party. II shat Is the case the election to-
day may be favorable to the Conserya

From The Western Oregon Leadei


Nine miles from Walla Walla is situated a
colony OF Davisite MormOns. They call their
organization the Kingdom of Heaven on
Earth. They believe that spirits return and
take upon them elves new bodies, and that
the spirit of Jesus Christ John the Revelator
John the Baptist, 1t. Peter, and about half
the other apostles, King David, Moses. the
Law glver, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have
returned, been born over again, and that they
now have those sacred children in that
colony, and are ouly waiting for them to
grow up, when they shall conquer the whole
world. They have a sacred corral in which
these children play, which none can enter
wthOut taking Off their shoes.
Davis has a daughter about years of age,
who, it Is claimed, is the great eternal mother
of spirits. She is the mother of her fathers
spirlt-in fact, of all spirits-and is to be
mated by her father to her brother in the
flesh, who is the great father of spirits. Davis
claims to have the power over life and death !;
that he and all who believe faithfully in his
doctrine may live as long as they please.
Nevertheless, his wife, the mother of Jesus,
died last spring, and Davis was complaining
of ill-health when we saw him last The
child Jesus is redhaired, and wears it long
and is slightly freckled in the face. has long,
aquiline nose, a clear blue eye, and pleasant
eXDressiOn.

man. She has a husband and several

that she was receiving no benefit from
reputable physicians, she became con-
WINGED that her sickness was caused by a
witch. She sent lock Of her hair and a
piece of her clothing, together with a
description OF her symptoms, 10 "a
celebrated witchcraft doctor In
Sweden. The response she received
confirmed her belief The witchcraft
doctor told her that her sickness was due

DECIDED immediately that her aunt, Mrs.
Johnson, who lived in an adjacent coun.
", was the witch.
Mrs. soloman and her husband at once
began 70 assert In public that Mrs. John
son was a witch, and ought to be tried for
witohcrau. The pastor Of the Swedish
church heard about the matter, and
arranged for Mrs. Johnson's trial.
Mrs. johnson appeared az the appointed
time. Mrs. soloman stated that the FIRST
time that she had noticed anything unu.
sual when in company with Mrs. John
son was thirteen years aro,
when they we're riding together in a
carriage. Mrs. Johnson touched her
back and she experienced tickling sen
