SOME husybody, who has doubtless an
ak to grind, ID sending scandalous and
slanderous letters to Washington to pre-
vent the confirmation of George Gard as
United Sta'es Marshal for the Southern
District of California. As q general
thing, anonymous letters should have no
weight or Significance when they assail
character. But it see ms that amongst
the high officials at Washington this rule
is disregarded, and an Importance that lie
not warranted by facts is given to letters
written over assumed names. Nobody
here believes that there is truth in
any of the serious anonymous charges
made against Major Gard. He has
lived in this community for nearly a
quarter of a century and he has the re-
spect OF Democrats as we'll as Republic
cans. There can be but one object in
shese slanderous letters, and that is
the defeat OF Cards confirmation 30 that
somebody else Can get the Office. Who
that somebody else is we don't know,
but efforts are being made to trace the
writer to his hole, and when that is done,
the motive of the accusations will be sp-
parent.

HEw YORK may be considered out of

Worlds Fair. Ii takes coin, and plenty
OF it, to make a great fair a success.
When the New York papers first urged
their city as the best place, they set out
with the most extravagant declarations
OF the vast sum of money that could be
raised from the wealthy people of
Gotham to secure the exhibition. Five
or ten million dollars were a mere bspa-
telle, and would be subscribed at once
by her rich men. AS time passed on.
the contributions failed to materislize.
but there was sure way of getting what
WAS wanted. The Legislature of New
York would readily appropriate ten
millions, and that would fill the bill.
Yesterday the measure was defeated in
the State Senate, and that settles New
York's claim to the fair. It will not get
1t. Now let Chicago 90 ahead. She has
shown herself able and willing to put up
all the money required to make the fair
grand success. There should now be no
hesitation on the part of Congress to
locate the exhibition in the great Western

AT THE meeting of the Diocesan Con.
vention OF the Episcopalian Church in
San Francisco, a memorial was presented
from Southern California asking that the
election OF an Assistant Bishop be post.
poned to the annual meeting. This
memorial was signed by II clerical and
70 lay delegates, and gave, among other
reasons for their non-attendance upon
the convention the bad condition of the
roads and the sickness of many of the
delegates from the prevailing epidemic.
No attention was paid to the memorial
and the election took place. As Rev.
DR.. W. F. Nichols was chosen on a
ballot which only required A votes to
elect, it is very likely that. if the forty
delegates from Southern California had
had voice in the selection, the result
would have been different. There seems
to be quite lack of harmony between

news article exposing recent swindle
that document left with the bank in
escrow could not be found, and for pub
fishing an interview with the assistant

acknowledging such facts. The Bees
answer declares that the statements we're
in every respect true, and published with
out malice and simply to subserve
public interests by the exposing of the
swindle referred to. Il declares also that
if the bank has been damaged it has
been due to its own acts and partly to
the following causes; The public belief
that the bank takes too much interest in
local politics; that its employees pay
money over its counter to influence the
result of elections, and that the bank
encourages violations of the constitution

authorities at Washington to make i'm

PORTLAND, Ore, February 7,-The

In and around this city has been cos :

ried away. Many Of the logs. However
have lodged along the river and i. is
thought can be saved. The wbaryes and
docks have not suffered seriously. thonoh
many of them will have to undergo ra.
pairs before they can be used. While
the merchants have lost considerable
from the suspension of business, their
losses as to gods are not great. It is ina
possible to give any correct estimate
OF the loss at the present. Along the
east water front, Johnson s.wharf. valued
at about $4,000, collapsed. A few
other minor losses are reported.
The Southern Pacific Company is
probably the heaviest loser, by reason of
the washouts on it's line between hero
and Ashland. Telegraphic reports be.
yond Roseburg have been meagre 90 far
but reports received from Cow Creet
canon state that a number of BRIDES
have been washed out, and several miles
of track either washed awav ~

and the track is destroyed in manv
places, though it is thought the William.

time.
In the vicinity of Salem a number of
small houses were carried away by the

The principal loss there, however. was
the carrying off Of the large wagon bridps

Ten years ago Ontario was .

Ten years ago Ontario was a waste
treelozs and without attraction, at the
base OF the mountains. The Chaffey
Brothers vent in there and developed
the water. This drew population, and
the people set out orchards. There are
now 1850 acres set out to citrus
fruits in the colony. It is easy to see
that in place which had no existence
ten years ago there can be but small
portion OF these orchards yet bearing.
But by actual count it appears that the
orange and lemon crop OF this year will
come to $3S,500. Perhaps one-third of
the orange and lemon trees are bearing,
and not that many bearing full crop.

DowNIEvrLLE. Cal, February 7-Pri-
vate dispatches from Sierra Valley
report that the severest storm has been
prevailing, with the greatest amount of
damage ever known in that locality, and
up to the I'd OF February there were eight
feet of snow on the level. The stores
are entirely out of -four, sugar
and potatoes, and there is no
prospect of securing any supplies
for some time. A number of barns and
other buildings have been crushed by the
weight of the accumulated snow, and
some stock has been killed. The losses
foot up to thousands of dollars. The
creeks are bank full of water and frozen
solid, and the melting of the snow and
ice is for looked with apprehension. Some
houses have been flooded to
the depth of several inches. At the
upper end Of the valley hay is scarce
and stock is destined to suffer. But one
mail has been received for three weeks,
aud that came from Truckee. being
brought on snow-shoes. The first two
horse sleigh from Sierra City arrived to-
night and reported the road open for
travel.

The sangle-Tsx Theory Again.

A disciple of Henry George answers
in other columns our criticisms upon the
single-tax doctrine. 1t was not needed
that he should have shown by the
figures that it was impossible to raise
the land tax from 81 to $40 by citing the
returns of the realty and personal prop
erty assessment in this county last year.
To illustrate our argument We placed the
increase of tax per acre from 81 to $40.
We were not particular about the figures,
as long as we could fix upon the mind of
the reader the idea Of the probable in
crease. But we doubt whether the
figures were far out Of the way, for when
the single-tax theory fully develops itself,
there will be no tariff tax collected, no
internal revenue taxes or licenses whilst
on the other hand the expenses OF the
Government may be measurably in
creased by it's assumption of the control
of the railroads, telegraphs, and of all
the concerns of the quasi-public corpora
tions. Apart from this, however, the
tendency OF the single-tax theory is
toward a tax so high that it will discour-
age landholding except for productive
purposes, and therefore as the land
holding diminishes, the acreage subject
to taxation would become small, necessi-
tating, to meet public expenditures, a
constant increase of the taxes. But
we shall be told that, as land held
for speculative purposes is aban-
doned ss it loses it's value for
these purposes, the landless people will
occupy and work it, and that conse-
quently the area of taxable land would
suffer no diminutiop. That would prob
ably be the case in course of time. But
we cannot see what difference that
would make as to the fact that all taxes
being confined to realty or land values,
these taxes would necessarily have to be
got out of the productions of the land.
After all is said and done, how can the
producer pay bis taxes on land without
getting it out of the produce he sells
and if he gets it in that way-and there
is no other way-and it is an increased
tax because it would be single
instead of multiple tax-where
is the escape from the conclu-
sion that the tax would ultimately
come cut of the consumer in the case oi
farms, or the user in the case of city
lots (? There is but one way out of this, and
that would be for the Government, L. e.,
the people, to confscate to their own use
and title all lands Getty and country and
take all the rentals into the public
treasury to be applied to public uses.
The community would then take the
place of the landlords. But that is con.
fiscation, and the single tax theory, if it
is as it would be, progressive tax upon
land values, must logically lead to that.
