The Portland (Oregonl Even
inc Telegram of Jan. IL gives the
record of Lionel Stagge, the
receiver of the suspended Oregon
National Bank. 1t quotes the
records of the Circuit Court to
show that on December Ii, 1852,
Stagge, under the name of A. l..
Waterhouse. was sentenced TO
one vears 5 imprisonment In the
States penitentiary at Salem on q
charge of forging a name to
S35 check. After serving his
sentence Stagge returned to
Portland.
II is asserted that Stagge, un-
der the name of A. l.. Water
house. passed a forged check for
$50 at San Diego. He represent
ed himself as travelling CORES
pondent for the New York World
and went about gathering data
for an article on Southern Call
fornia mines. Waterhouse went
to San Diego with an insurance
agent of San Francisco, and the
latter indorsed draft for him on
an Oakland bank. The draft
C me back protested and the
San Francisco man telegraphed
to have Waterhouse arrested un-
less he paid the draft and the
money which he had loaned him.
Waterhouse, did net pay. and
accordingly the warrant was Is

A Sound Criticism

Tie Boston Tfaascri79. one Of
the leading papers in the Hub
CITY, and the editorial opinions OF
which are very carefully con-
sidered before presentation, has
the follow leading editorial anent
the question of right or
might, in the Hawaiian mat
ters now before the Congress of
the United States. The words of
the editorial are written in a
most Just spirit and the opinions
therein conveyed are on eqnit-
able grounds. Following is the
Article, which it is great plea
sure to present from such an
honorable and influential source.
The report of the minority of
the Committee Oh Foreign Affairs
OF the House of Representatives.
is vigorously written, and clearly
states the grounds upon which
the Republican members of the
House condemn President Cleye-
lands Hawaiian policy. 1t is
not a document that will tend
to create dispassionate DIS
cussion of the points of differ
ence between the majority and
minority of the House, when the
subject comes up for review.
One thing about the produc
ton is notable. 1t attempts to
disconnect the question from
annexation, undoubtedly Stew
ens's aim and object, and states
that there is no issue as to the
propriety of Minister Stevens's S
action, which the supporters of
the administration claim to be
the very keystone of the whole
proceeding The report severely
criticises Mr.. Cleveland for
making Blount's disclosures the
basis of a charge of fraud,
falsehood and wilful violation of
the law against the ex-minister
whose conduct it pronounces not
only "justifiable and necessary.
but praiseworthy and patriotic. .
Now why this commentator of
Mr.. Stevens, if he is not a pretty
large element in any fair consider
alton of the matter? The rebuke
which Mr.. Foster, President
Harrison secretary of State,
felt called upon to administer to
Mr.. Stevens for exceeding his
authority is also a part of the
evidence it is impossible to rule
out. The minority report truly
alleges that "tbe people of the
United States are widely divided
in their opinions upon the occur
rences in Hawaii which resulted
in the establishment of the pre-
sent government. As this is the
case, partisan condemnation or
partisan commeudation will
amount to very little in the pre-
misses.

The Latest Proposition

The readers of the Star were
thrown into a paroxysm of intense
surprise by reading an editorial
headed What OF the er-Queen in
which a proposition is made to
the Queen to "abdicate'' and
receive pension from the
present oligarchical government.
OF course Her Majesty ought to
be filled with eternal gratitude to
magnanimous editor of the Star
who now asks for the abdication.
The great power which he here
tofore has proven to possess in the
Councils of the land Except when
his own ambitions are matters of
consideration must, of course,
be sufficient guarantee for the
fulfilment by the councils of his
implied promises. There is one
thing which locks rather remark
able in this show of kindness at
this late day towards the Queen
and that is the statement in the
very same editorial That her
claims have been abandoned by
the United States, that owing to
the Munroe doctrine, no foreign
power can help her. and owing to
the qualifications of the muchlv-
ranked colonels and their army
her own people cant help her.
When we at the same time re-
member that the annexation
organs constantly have told us
that the Queen has no claims
whatever, and that her dethrone-
ment was the legitimate result OF a
Legitimate revolution, we are still
more puzzled over the PROPOSE
tion of the to-be or not-to-be,
councillor editor Smith. We
might for a minute be inclined
to take the proposition au
ssriear if the tilue-honored

THE INCOME TAX.

features. He thinks 1t wrong to pry
into the private affairs of citizens Of
large incomes in order to ascertain
the amount of tax they should be re-
uuired to pay. The average taxpayer
will hardly be able to see the force OF
this objection. Our whole system of
direct taxation is open to precisely
the same objection, and If it is valid
as applied to citizens Of large In
comes, it is equally valid as applied
to property holders everywhere, and
the whole system should be sbol-
ished. The assessor, in his annual
rounds among the farmers, meChsn-
les, and small tradesmen Of the coun-
try is quite inquisitorial in his style
of address. He wants to know Of the
farmer just how many cattle and
horses and sheep and hogs he is the
unhappy possessor of, how much
wheat and corn he has in his grain
cry, and he is especially interested in
knowing whether he has carriage
to ride to town in, whether he has
piano or an organ in his house,
whether he has q gold watch, and,
above all, whether he has any money
at interest. We have ourselves been
forcibly impressed with the lnquisi-
torial style of this official on several
occasions, and this peculiar chsrac-
teristic of his periodical visitatlons
will doubtless be remembered by
most men when they come to reflect
upon the subject.
But Mr.. Sperry says the inquisi-
torial system will not arrive at cor
rect results respecting incomes. He
says that false returns will be made,
and that the system 'puts premium
on liars" There is probably no
doubt that If there is to be q premium
on liars these highly respectable citi-
zens with the large incomes will wear
most of the blue ribbons, but it was
hardly to be expected that one Of
their trusted representatives would
make such a free and open confess
sion of it. It would seem that
this objection is more of a reflection
upon the integrity of the people who
enjoy the large incomes than upon
the proposed law against which Mr..
Sperry aimed it. The government
can hardly be asked to reject sys-
tenn of taxation by which the wealth
of the country would be made to bear
its just share of the public burdens
simply because unscrupulous men
would be likely to lie in order to es-
cape their share of the taxes. It
would be far more rational to en-
deavor to devise means for the detec-
tion of such frauds and the proper
punishment of offenders. If the in
come tax Is to be rejected because Of
its inquisitorial features, then we de-
mand that the assessor be hereafter
prohibited from inquiring into our
private affairs or the affairs of other
common people of this country. We
