Learnlng.the Lesson.
If there is one thine more than an
other that makes a country prosperous.
it ia diversified farming. The Grand
Rondc valley has been sadly neglected in
Uiat particular, and the farmers have
just begun to realize the fact. Those
who slick to wheat alone aro no better
off today than they were when they
located here, while the very few, who
have tried a diversity of products, are
nicely on their feet, so to speak, and the
future promises very brieht for them.
However, the year 1S95 has been of
great and lasting benefit to the farmers
of this valley, as it has thoroughly con
vinced them that one-product farms do
not pay as handsomely as do the farms
upon which diversity of products are
grown. One can now look for a revolu
tion in the farming industry of the val
ley. Already uunieroua farmers are
communicating with nurserymen, and
improved livestock breeders, with a view
to planting au orchard, and adding good
stock to their bands. Many who have
raised wheat alone aro preparing to plant
an orchard, buy some good cattle and
hog3 and raise onough vegetables to
carry them through the following year.
La Orande Chronicle.
The Use of English.
A critic in the Oregonian takes that
journal to task for Its use of the word
like" used as a conjunction. Now the
Plaixdcaler does not offer to defend the
Oregonian for bad grammar, but it un
dertakes to say that the prime use of
language is to convey a corrert idea of
something the writer or Bpeaker wants to
convey, and so long as the language
used convoys that idea without mysti
fication or doubt it is better, far. than no
formulating a sentence (as is often the
case) of a doubtful or double meaning,
though conforming strictly to the rules of
grammar. Language is to thought what
clothing is to the body. If the. clothing
is clean, ol propor material for the sea
son and fits the person comfortably
it
fills the requirements, alth-jugh it is
not
in Parisian fashion. It is a rule
of
grammar that a word becomes such part
of.speeeh which Its office fills in a sen
tence. Thus, "ia," while it ia generally
a preposition, it may be used as au .ad
verb. And so of other tmrtn nfnt.pr.Mi
Russia and Civilization.
The advancement of Russia to a higher
plane of civilization is indicated in the
forthcoming promulgation of a new penal
code in place of tho criminal nnd correc
tional punishment that baB been in force
since 1815. The commission havinir tbo
important work in charge has already
succeeded in suppressing workhouses and
houses of seclusion and brought about
tho abrogation of eorporal punishment
In tho prisons, while laws against usury
and the fraudulent acts of public officials
have also resulted from its efforts.

May Act Jointly.
New York, Oct. 7. A special to the
Herald, from Washington, says:
Thero is discussion in political circles
here oyer the possibility that all the pan
American countries may, in the near fu
ture, act jointly in the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents.
Pan-American representatives have been
anxiously waiting to see what Secretary
Olney will do and tho suutrestion has
been made informally to the department
that it would be a rood plan for the
United States and all South and Central
American countries to act in concert as to
the recognition of the insurgents and as
to the independence of Cuba whenever
the proper time arrives. It has already
been report9d that Mexico'and Venezu
ela haye declined to grant belligerent
rights. If this be the case, the represen
tatives of the respective countries in this
tynave not been advised of it. It is
admitted by those concerned, however,
that tbe insurgents must make greater
headway before it will be entirely safe
for the United States or any other re
public to recognize them. The propsi
tion for joint action is based on tbe
possibility of insurgent victory in engage
ments which are likely soon to occur.
Making flore Promises.
San Fiiaxcisco, Oct. 7. In discussinir
the Durrant trial, Attorney Deuproy said
the defense intended to pat in its most
effective evidence at once, and would un
doubtedly close on Thursday of this
weok. He said ho did not intend tn
ipring any sensations, but he expected to
convince the jury by means of powerful
evidence that all of the suspicious cir
camsUnces developed in the case did not
point to Ilieodoro Dun-ant as the mur
derer of Blanche Lamont. Alihouuh ho
did not say so in so many word, he inti
mated that ICev. J. George Gibson and
his handwriting would receive more at
tention.
'There has been a popular mistake
with reference to tho defense in regard to
Gibson," said Deuprey. "We have
never charged that he and not Durrant
was the murderer. The general public
and a portion of the pres3 have insisted
in snouting, 'Deuprey charges Gibson
wiia tue murder.' Now this has all
been based upon my opening statement
to Uie jury. The fact of the matter is.
simpjy told the jury wc would toint out
circumstances which would show that
suspicion could bo cast upon persons"
other than Durrant, if suspicious circum
stances were to enter into the case. Our
intention is simply to demonstratefo the
jury that ovidencc of this character must
not be taken as proof positive. Thatia
why we contend that there is a remark
able similarity between the writimr of
Gibson and that found upon the wrapper
wblch contained Mi83 Lamont's rincs.
That is all thero is to it. It Dr. Gibson
desires to consider that he has been
charged with murder, all right and good.
We cannot help it.
It is not our accu-
sation

Chicago, Oct. 7. A special from
Tampa, Fla., says:

looking alter extensive interests in the
interior. "One is that we are coins to
have trouble with Spain about complica
tions arising from tbe Cuban question;
the other, tnat Cuba will be free whether
the United Stales recognizes her or not."
rhis gentleman could not allow his
name to be used, because his property in
Cuba would be confiscated and he would
be thrown into prison were he to return
there.
'I heard a high official in Havana
say," ho continued, "if tbo Americans
do not mind, we will parado the Spanish
troops in Central Park, New York, be
fore we are through.' I heard it said in
a well known cafe in Havana that after
tbo rebellion is suppressed the United
bates will bo attended to, and it was
hoped Cleveland could be canuht and
hanged. It is openly declared in the
cafts that if Uncle Sim recognizes Cuba,
Amencans must get out of tho island.
By Christmas thero will bo ISO.000 Span
ish soldiers in tbe leland of Cuba. Whv
Bhould Spain mobilizo so many troos ii
they are not needed to suppress tho rev
olution.'
"The Cuban patriots aro sadly in need
of arms and ammunition. One dav a
baud of 40 passed my plantation with
only 10 guns, and they wero the cheapest
kind ol guns. Tho rest of the patty were
armed with ax handles. They load their
guns with bits of barbed-wire taken from
fences and with mils."
Powers Interfere.
Constantinople, Oct. ., via Sofia.
Oct. 7. Representatives of six powers
have sent a collectivo tioto to tho Turkish
government calling attention to tho inad
equate measures taken by tho police
authorities to maintain public tranquility
in Constantinople and its suburbs, and
demanding the prompt institution of a
rigorous inquiry into tho riotinc. blood
shed and the wholesale imprisonment of
Armenians here. In addition, tho pow
ers demand tho release of all prison
ers mnoceut or wronif-duinu and the
ceBsatiou of arrests.
"Said Pasha, the now Turkish minister
of foreign affairs, has called at tho differ
ent embassies and presented a communi
cation from the Turkish government, re
peating the assurance that the plans for
reforms in Armenia has been accepted
by the porto. It is not believed, how
evor, that this will bo Batisdactory to the
powers.
ArmeniaiiB still inside the patriarchate

rections. Kurds then entered the work
shops among the quays and expelled
irom them all Armenians whom they
could find. Later, it is claimed, the
bodies of four Armenians were found.
Tho gond'armea while making arrests,
repeatedly told tho prisoners to "Call
upon England to deliver you."
Many quarters in 8tamboul have been

The riee ol cotton from 6 ceuls to 9
cents a pound goes to show that the old
principle that it is the supply of a com
modity (hat determines the price has not
been superseded by the modern populist
theory, which attributes all prices to
'the crime of 1S73." Our cotton crop is
Bhort by 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 bales.
Hence cotton goes up in price, leaving
silver at the bottom of the hole. After
all, there is something iu the old law of
demand and supply and its effect on
prices. Wheat also has a tendency to
rise, in spite cf "the crime of To," as
the discovery growB.thst the world's
crop is lees than had been supposed.

It iB well to suspend rejoicing over the
