The Carving up of Old Wasco.

A Salem correspondent of the Oregonidn,
under date of Feb. lst, has the following
regarding the new counties to be parcelled
out OF Wasco:
The legislative air IS full of county di-
vision schemes and proposals to create new
counties. The divisionIs.s OF Wasco
county, undeterred by emphatic protests.
are seeking to almost obliterate that division
of the state from the map OF Oregon. The
proposed new county Of Stockman cuts out
large slice from the soathern portion;
Tygh county appropriates a big section out
the heart OF the old county, and the pro-
jectors of Cascade county, commencing at
the eastern boundary of Multnomah, takes
In Cascades Hood River and Mosier, even
running its eastern line within sight of the
D4lles, but graclou.ly leaving the city itself
and the cemetery to the old regime. The
only property within the proposei new
county that will pay any considerable
amount of taxes, is the railway line of the
Union Pacific Company, 80 odd miles of the
road to be taken in. There really don't
seem much chance for the lines of Wasco to
be disturbed. The delegation from there is
divided on the question, and the protests
against any kind of division contain the
names of all the prominent taxpayers OF the
county. Not satisfied with thus cutting up
the mother of Eastern Oregon counties. the
Sutton county boomers propose to also take
four townships from her, the remaining por-
tIons being appropriated from Crook and
Grant.

A Review.

We have received a copy of the
second edition of ''The S9lf; What
Is It?" work by the late j. S.
Nj alone, who for number of years
was deputy tax assessor in this city.
Mr.. Malone has left in Waco a good
upright character and clever intel
lect, so the reviewing of the above
mentioned work can be done only
with the most sympathetic feelings
toward the memory of its author, If
not with perfect appreciation of
the work itself. In fact we are
comg elled to say that the great
question, 1.-The Self; What Is It?"
which Is the title of the book, has
not been elucdated or answered a.
all. The author seems to be lack.
ing in that scientific and philosophi
cal training and knowledge without
which no such important question
as that of the self" or the ego,
ever can be even discussed with any
hope OF thoroughness and lucidity.
However, the author himself gives
the just measure of the scientific
value, or rather absolute want of
value of his effort, when he SO
caudidly says (page 2GD:" 1t may
be said in extenuation, that it has
b9en an aim throughout (the book
to avoid theory and augmentation ;
and instead, to rely wholly upon a
common sense exposition of self
evident empirical facts. If such
facts, Interpreted by comm IN sense,
be not the highest authority in
philosophy, then the author deserves
pardon ON the score Of ignorance. "

consider common sense as their

A N0TARLE OFEER.

The proposition first ma le publ c
in yesterdays News, for the pre-
sentation to the public Of a series Of
views Of prominent points of inter.
est throughout the world, took the

ton is re stated.
TuE News has contracted with
the largest publishing house in the

the designs and the information
conta ned.
The 800 views will be issued in
twenty folios or parts, each part
containing sixteen pictures.
We supplied every subscriber or
purchaser Of TIE News yesterday
a section containing two sample
pictures This sample will give the
public good opportunity to learn
of the great prize which is if9red
them.
The advertisement elsewhere tells

thor, we "avoid theory" and Sin

range ourselves with Rev. Jasper

that what he calls sentiment or
"sensibility" must be mixed with
it in larger or smaller percentage,
to enable man TO think and see

an old love for, and DING faiun in,

himself and Others that their human
reason must give way, in part at

of this article do not permit us TO

into one sentence, his last: "What is

to direct his intelligence in the pur-
suit of truth. MoNISr.

A correspondent of the New

A correspondent of the Ne"
York Tribune, discussing the in.
come tax, very APPLY says: 1.-The
income tax affords the most facile
means Of raising money. Its I'M
position does not disturb trade like
the introduction Of new tariff, and
it has the further advantage that II
raises money from that body of peo.
pie whose feFness makes them
least dangerous al the polling booth.
The working classes psy only as
consumers by indirect taxation.
The upper classes have just the
same tariff, but with the tax upon
incomes az an additional burden.
There is no unfairness in the prln.
ciple of the impost which draws a
distinction between the rich man
and the poor man" 1t also places
the harden of taxation upon those
able to bear it and permits the gov.
ernmeat in a sense to charge for
protecting the immense interests OF
those blessed with large incomes.
