ESTIMATE OF BOER FORCES

LONDON January 9.-Further news of
General Whites victory is anxinusIy await
ed, as il Is generally realized today that
there is little warrant for the exultation
which followed the announcement of his
repulse of the Beers
The remarkable revolution in Boer tao
ties has been another complete surprise to
the British. who had not reckoned on the
weakened garrison of Ladysmith being sub
jected to such courageous assault. and 1t
is rea lied that General Whites troops cam
not be expected to greatly prolong such an
arduOuS defense. In some quarters II Is
considered unaCcountable that General
Butler did not press his attempt to effect
a passage Of the Tugela river while the
Beers Were engaged northward. and the
comment on his apparent supinesness are
ncwise complimentary.

that General Bul.er is constructing a sub

With their own individual intellects
they have performed two herculean
tasks, and to-day their power is felt
throughout the world. Shakespeare
pictured to himself a scene and put 1t
into words These men conceived great
industries, where thousands Of men
might find employment in producing
what millions of people need. Who shall
say that their genius was less than the
genius of Shakespeare? 1t has far
reaching, practical influence, and in my
opinion 1t will be just as lasting,
Chicago has claimed much lately, and
some Of its claims have been grudgingly

| Mr.. Bryan started his campaign with
large and lofty talk about the dangers
| of imperialism. That didn't work, the
people declining to be interested in i'm
periallsm Then he tried to convince
them that the trusts were eating them
up and that he could save them. He
found that they didn't look upon the
trust problem as party question, and
that they didn't seem to be enthusiast
ticaIly certain that he could save them
from the octopi if they should happen
to need saving. He then tried the IS to
1 bait, and the people didn't even nibble
at that. Now he is talking about the
classes and the masses in the hope that
the masses will look upon him as their
real friend
Drowning men catch at straws, and
Mr.. Bryan is evidently desperately
afraid that he wont land. His fear Is
justified.

IN OR ECON ENT.

| The city of Portland, Oregon, like
many other cities, needs money, and in
order to get 1t has levied an occupation
tax for city revenue. Where it is feas-
ible the rates of license are based on
the amount of business done, the I'M
sworn statements of applicants on this
manufacturers are to pay from $50 an
nually on sales aggregating $150000 or
81, 900. Banks are taxed In about the
same proportion, the basis being the
men pay about double the rates imposed
on business men, lawyers and physi-
business of $4,000 or more to 81 on
receipts less than $4,000. Electric
lighting companies must pay SIS year,
gas companies $50, stockyards $780, mer-
camille agencies from $40 to $25, brokers
go, lllSuTdH dBeutS DIV, teleSFdpn
companies SIS, telephone companies $50,
steam railroads $75 express companies
$25 and so on down the list, even to the
barber shops, where the license Is 80
cents for each chair.
How popular this kind of taxation
will be remains to be seen, but as no
kind of taxation is very popular, it Is
not probable that this will be an excep-
tion.
