Such a question is addressed to sound judg
ment. rather than to technical knowledge.
II the legislature shall express by the pas
sage Of the bill its judgment that the &C
knowledged effects of the department store
business upon society are so pernicious to
require remedial legislation, 1 am not pre-
pared TO say that the courts will not feel con-
Guided thereby.
While legal principles are old, their appli-
cation as prescribed in the proposed measure
will mark a step beyond all precedent in
the exercise Of police power and evince a
new departure in this state upon the subject
Of taxation. Such a step. If successfully
taken, will be Of far-reaching Importance and
open the door to legislation not easily fore
seen.
In view Of theg ravity and Importance of the
question. together with the inadequacy Of
my study of it, much prefer that the gen
uemen of the legislature act upon it unin-
1uenced by my own conclusions, too hastily
drawn and not entertained with the utmost
confidence to their SoundnesS.
AS geeral proposition, 1t is the much
wiser course when legislation is found to be
needful and the power to legisate doubt
ful, to assume the right to do the latter and
thus afford an opportunity to secure the judg-
ment Of the courts.

ism upon the whole arrangement. Ii
you decline to do this, you must give
your pensions On an age and service
limit, without regard to the worldly
condition of the pensioner. 1t follows
from this that the scarcity Of funds
which are designed for the support Of
helpless dependents, or faithful, but
superannuated servants, must be shared
with members of the retired list amply
able to take care of themselves.
In the case of the police pension law
the fund derived from percentage Of
fines collected in the police court is in
adequate to meet the drafts upon it
under the terms of the pension act
But this is only an incident that serves
to bring out the failure Of the law it
self, as a whole. to do what was ex-
pected of it, and to satisfy either the
people at large or those who are ex-
pected to participate in its benefits.
So complete is the conviction that the
pension system as applied to the police
department is unsatisfactory that the
law was repealed without any diff
Guilty.
The repeal was a good thing, and
among the best effects Of it should be
the cessation of all attempts to pension
public servants from the public treas
ury in any shape whatever. Let every
individual be the achitect of his own
fortunes and take the consequences Of
his wisdom or folly. Let the individual
look out for himself. and do not dis

holding out to certain classes the Offer

AN oBJECrLEssoN IN PENSIONS.

The calm disregard of many people
for the lessons CT experience appears
in the recommendation of several new
schemes for pensions, notably that
providing for retired school teachers, at
the very moment when the police pen
sion system is brought to an end. The
police pension law has now been re-
pealed and the repeating act approved
1t has been stamped officially as a fail
ure, and everybody except the recip-
tents of bounty under it is glad to get
rid of it. A certain number Of needy
persons have been sharers in its bene-
fits, but those benefits have also been
extended to other persons amply able
to take care of themselves.
We have here exhibited one of the
inherent difficulties of the pensioning
system. If you go into the business,
you must give the bounty to all those
who do not need it, as we'll as those
who do. If you attempt to apportion it
only among those who are in strait
ened circumstances, the objection is
raised that you stamp the receiver as
INDECENT and put the brand of pauper-

Mr.. Edward P. Clark, Of the New
York Evening Post, contributes to the
March number Of the National Review
complete and sympathetic sketch Of
the public life and services Of ex-
President Cleveland and their relations
to the politics and the progress of this
country. Mr.. Clark is one Of those ad-
mirable critics who see events in their
right relation and judge men impair
TALLY. His review of Mr.. Cleveland
public career is penetrated by thor
ough understanding of the man, and
is not marred by that mistaken form
of hero worship which would gloss over
his mistakes or deny his limitations.
Mr.. Cleveland appears in these pages
for what he is, the servant Of duty,
the man Of stern and strong patriotism
whose services to this nation can
never be forgotten, and also the man
of too little tact in dealing with other
men to hold together at his command
great political organizations. Mr..
Clark has written an interesting and
important chapter of history, and has
written it in the right spirit and with
rare understanding and impartiality.

STRANGE ROBBERY.
Two Men Extract WOman's Dfa-
Enomd-Studded Teeth

Mrs. CALVIN, whose husband is engaged in
the commission business in San Francisco.
came to Portland to visit her sister about
four weeks ago. This week she unceremoni-
ously took her departure for home, which
fact caused considerable surprise among her
acquaintance here. Repeated inquiries as to
her action brought to light the details of a
most daring and peculiar robbery.
Mrs. Calvin, who is a handsome woman
became a few years ago a victim Of fad
that prevailed at that time. She had two
valuable diamonds set in her upper front
teeth, so that when she parted lips in a smile
the sparkling gems shOne resplendently. Her
peculiar adornment attracted considerable at
tention while here, for it something out
of the ordinary.
Mrs. Calvin was alone in her sisters house
last Monday afternoon when the doorbell rang.
She answered the summons and admitted two
men, who claimed they were plumbers sent
by the owner to inspect the house. Mrs Cal
vim was leading them to the kitchen, and when
in the dining-room they seized her, placed a
chloroformed handkerchief to her nose and
rendered her unconscious. Then with forceps
they extracted the two teeth in which the
diamonds were set and left the place.
Mrs. Calvin recovered and summoned as
sistance, but refused to allow the police au-
thorities to take charge of the matter, OBJ
jecting to the notoTiety. The following even
ing she boarded a train for San Francisco.
