At Davos. Richards met John Addington

Returning to this country in the autumn Of

the mountains he hoped to regain his

Larsen, consisting of four ladies and one
gentleman, and described as the most
marvellous of gymnasts, performing such
d1rncut feats as that of a young lady
standing on the mans forearm, turning a
arm again. Double sOmerSaultS are COM

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature providing for an income
tax. This method of raising revenue
for the support of the government is
very popular with certain classes of
our citizens, and was in operation dur
ing the late war. Direct taxation has
never been considered the most avail
able in free countries, and savors too
much of monarchy to receive universal
support. Ofcourse, if it could be en-
forced, it would be one way of making
the wealth of the country bear the
heaviest burdens; but we believe it
would be more efectually evaded than
the present method. There will al
ways be efforts made to concoct some
means to shift the burden of taxation
on others, and the person who is the
most fruitful of schemes will usually
be successful. The income tax cannot
close all avenues of escape, and, at
best, would furnish only an oppor-
tunity to devise new ones. Laws
have always been unjustly admins
tered in a certain measure, and taxes
have been unfairly levied; but it is
far better to attempt to remedy the
evils existing by legislation than to in
aupurate new and untried methods.

Probing the scandal.

PARIS, Jan. 26-Franqueville, Judge
Construction, has just closed an inquiry
into charges against members of parlis-
ment SAID to be implicated in the Pan
anna canal scandal. Three of the six &C.
cused persons will not be prosecuted. OF
the three to be prosecuted two are ex-
ministers. 1t is believed that the two
are ex-mlnisters Roche and Thevanet.
LIE Figaro states that Frsnqueville, the
ex amining magistrate has commenced a
fresh inquiry in relation tc the Panama
scandal, based on the Arton documents.
1t Is sad that summonses have been
issued for the examination of many per-.
sons eminent In public life.
The ministry is resolved not to accept
amendments from any quarter during the
discussion in the chamber of deputies to-
day of the secret service fund, embracing
the charge against Rouvier OF having re-
ceived money from the Panama Com
pany.

Judge L. @. G. Lamar, associate
justice of the United States supreme
court, died very suddenly at his home
in Macon, Ca, last evening. He was
born Sept. l, 1925, graduated in ls45,
practiced law until 1867, when he was
elected to congress, and was colonel of
a Mississippi regiment during the late
war. At the close of the war he was
again elected to congress in 1872, to
the senate in 1877, was Cleveland's
secretary of the interior in 1885, and
was appointed associate justice of the
supreme court in 1883. During his
incum5ency of the high position he has
displayed rare ability as a jurist, which
was to be expected from his legal tram
Ing. After the close of the rebellion he
exhibited in the halls of congress a
broad-minded patriotism, which won
The respect of his former enemies. Of
a Judicial mind, he rarely INDUCED in
rancorous debate, and his speeches be-
tokened calm and dispassionate Judg-
ment. His death leaves vacancy in
the supreme bench, which may be
filled by President Harrison, and
more accepta BILE appointment could
not be made than Hon. J. N. Dolph,
of Oregon.

The death of Bishop Phillips Br,

The death of Bishop Phillips Brooks
at his residence in Boston, Mass, was
sudden and unexpected, and will be q
sad and startling announcement to his
many friends in the Episcopal church
and also to the Christian world in
general. Bishop Brooks has lived to
good purpose, and all denominations
respected him as ripe scholar and a
Christian gentleman. His illness of
few days terminating fatally leaves
the church suddenly bereft of his able
coupsels, and it will bea difficult mat
ter to fill the vacancy with one so ac-
ceptable to the people and capable to
6ll the high position. The death-roll
of 1898 is constantly adding the names
of the noblest and ablest, and Bishop
Phillips Brooks stands foremost among
these.

It is very probable that the leglsla-
tive committee appointed to investl-
gate the jute bag factory ats Walla
Walla, will report In favor of the pro-
ject being inaugurated in this state;
but it is very doubtful whether it will
pass this session. The employment of
state criminals in such..a way as not to
interfere with free labor has always
been a difficult problem with leglsla-
tors, and has rarely been solved salts
factorily. That a jute-bag factory
would furnish solution is very ques-
ticnable, and it is not advisable for
Oregon to spend $500, 1000 in making
the experiment. These bags can be
laid down in this state much cheaper
than they can be manufactured, and it
would not be wise for property to be
taxed to support an industry that
would not pay expenses. There are
more profitable ways in which the
can be employed, and the one
that meets with most general favor is
that of improving the condition of our
public roads.

Annexation is a Fanaticism.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25-In an interview
today Mr.. Charles Tupper, Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries, who is
on his way to France to attend the Beh-
ring sea arbitration conference, said he
did not think there was much of senti-
ment among the masses of the Canadians
In favor of annexation with the United
States. 1t was subject which was dis
cussed by few public men only, and
could not be said to enter very largely
into the thoughts of the masses. There
were but three men of prominence IN the
Dominion, Mr.. Tupper declared, who
openly ADVOCATED annexation. One was
former official named Meyers, who had
been retired from Office in part as con-
sequence of his views as an annexationist; !;
another was an editor named Farr ar, who
had been outspoken in the columns of his
paper, but who had not many converts;
and the third was Professor Goldwin
Smith. "Whatever influence Smith
might have as scholar, and however
much his learning might be respected, he
had no strength as o leader in politics"
Mr.. Tupper said, land could not control
any votes if he were to become a candl-
date for any office"

SAN Francisco, Jan. 25-Wiiliam
Olsen, owner of the seized smuggling
schooner, together with four indicted
officers of the vessel, were arraigned In
the United States district court here

not guilty to the charge of bringing a5
Chinese into the country in violation of
the law. Defendants attorney secured
five days time for the men, In which
they may change their plea if they desire.
Application was made for the reduction
of bail under which the accused are held.
Judge Morrow, however, declined TO
make any change in the amounts al
ready fixed The bail of Captain Deer
ing is placed at $4,000, and that of
Mate O'Brien and Engineers lapel and

SALEM, Jan. 25-The session in the
senate today was of considerable interest.
There was large number of spectators,
exceeding that in the hall of representa-
tives, drawn together, no doubt, by the
expectation of the fight on Raley's por--
tage railway appropriation bill. This
measure had been made the special order
fer the hour of convening, and was taken
up Immediately after prayer. Raley took
the floor In its behalf, and earnestly por.
trayed the need of the upper country for
portage road and explained the trouble
which the residents of that section have
in marketing their produce. When
Raley sat down, everybody looked at
Cogswell, who had been leading the op-
position to the measure. expecting him
to deliver himself of another forensic
effort, but he only smiled good humor-
edly, as at the thought of Raley's immo-
lation. for II safe votes bad already been
corraled by the expert herder from the
ranges of Southeastern Oregon. The only
other incident of the bills passage was
Veatch's oratorical effort in the way of
explaining his vote, There was quite
large delegation of Eugene people on the
spectators benches, and Veatch evidently
wished to give them evidence of his ora
torical ability, SO he made q rather ex-
tended explanation, 20 the effect that he
had supported this measure two years
ago under the conviction that it was
meritorius. He had found upon returning
home, however, that his constituents did
not approve it, and as he felt senator
had none except delegated rights on the
floor, he must vote no. The roll-call re-
suited:

France is attempting to force the
British out of Egypt by means of the
young khedive, who is susceptible to
French influences; but Great Britain
has spent too much blood and treas
ure to easily relinquish her foothold on
the banks of the Nile. The improve
ment inaugurated by England has re-
deemed the country from bankruptcy,
and placed it in the line of progress.
To withdraw her suzeranity would
retard the advancement now being
made and jeopardize British invest
ments, and this will not receive a mo-
ment's consideration by the Gladstone
ministry. The island empire is on the
banks of the Nile to remain, and the
Partisan chamber of deputies and the
sultan at Constantinople cannot un-
seat her.

The TIMEs-MoUNTAINEE has al
ways contended that our delegation in
Washington City would carefully
watch the interests of the Columbia
river in congress, and since the change
of work at the locks from the war de-
partment to the contract system, has
felt no uneasiness in the matter; but
in this community there has been a
feeling Of distrust that everything was
not all right. Reliable information
has been received from Day Bros. that
not the least difficulty has been ex-
perienced by them, and that every
help has been extended to them by
those in authority. This is encourage
ing news to our people, and it may be
confidently expected that the locks
will be completed in the quickest pos
sible time. Our confidence in the
Oregon delegation has never been
shaken, and if, in the future, any
difficulty is encountered, we are salts
fed that it will be removed by direct
request to either Senator Dolph or
Mitchell, or Representative Hermann.
