We are now within three months of
new harvest and, contrary to general ex'
.pectation, everything indicates that the
co'untry willcarry over into the new
season the largest stock of old wheat it
has ever had at the end of a shipping
season. The elevators at Dnluth have
accumulated 15,265,000 bushels which is
5,000,000 more than ever in store at any
previous time and within 600,000 bushels
of the greatest amount ever held at any
one time in Chicago. It now appears
from the March report of the agricultural
department statistician that the wheat
product of the world was 35,000,000
bushels more in 1891 than in 1890 de
; Bpite the famine conditions of last year.
Of this increase the United States con'
teibuted 120.000.000 and while, up to
March 1 , we had exported some 55,000,
- 000 bushels more than in 1890 on that
date we had a surplus of 100,000,000
more than on the same date last year
without a prospect of a much greater de
mand. These figures fully account for the
present low price of wheat and, at the
same time, unfortunately, give little
hope of any large increase in price for
the coming crop.
"In the course of his oration at the lay
ing of the corner stone of the Grant
monument at New York on the 28th
Chauncey M. Depew used the following
striking words: "The phenomenon of
our times and one of the chief dangers
to law and order is the growth of our
school of despair. Concentrated contem
plation of accumulated wealth and the
hopelessness of acquiring it paralyzes in
dustrial energies and true ambitions
and plants the seeds of socialism and
anarchy." Never were truer words ut
tered, and thousands of writers and
stump orators who would resent as an
insult any insinuation of their connec
lion wnn socialism ana anarchy are
doing effective work in that direction by
adopting the too often unmeaning and
senseless wail of those- whom the world
has designated by the more familiar
term of "calamity howlers." .
Another railroad U talked of that will
interest the people of this section. This
time it is a narrow gauge By stem whose,
center is at Yakima city with branches
reaching to Priest Rapids ; to Natchez
Pass ; to Sunnyside station and to Gold--endale,
In furtherance of the project a
large and enthusiastic mass meeting was
held in Yakima City last Wednesday
over which State Senator . Eshelman
prisiaea. ine incorporators ask lor a
subsidy of $100,000 from the citizens of
Yakima. The meeting showed its ac
cord with the proposition by appointing
an executive committee of five leading
citizens to raise the amount required and
it is understood that half the amount
was pledged before the meeting ad-journed.
. History constantly repeats itself be
cause human nature never changes.
What men have done under certain cir
cumstances others may be reckoned
upon to do under like circumstances.
History is full of ins tances where the
generation that succeeded that which
hounded a man to his death held an
apotheosis over his ashes. The children
of the men who drove Lincoln to an un
timely grave or sympathized with his
assassination plant flowers over his
tomb and unite with the rest of the world
in calling him the martyr president.
General John A. Sutter, spent his whole
private fortune in defense and relief of
the California Argonauts, . work that
properly belonged to the United States
government. . For long years he prayed
congress for the relief that was his
righteous due. Congress refused .his
prayer and General Sutter died in neg
lect and poverty and of a broken heart.
Now we are told that the house commit
tee on library has "reported favorably a
joint resolution in the shape- of a me
morial to the state of California in honor
of the memory of General John 'A. Sut
ter. The resolutions declare that the
California pioneers and the native sons
of the Golden West deserve the thanks
of the people for their efforts in saving
from decay Sutter's fort near Sacra
mento, and that the United States con
gress completes this testimonial of Gen
eral Sutter's worth by the adoption of the
resolution." It was adopted of course.
Such things always are. They cost
nothing. But how forcibly this tardy
justice reminds one of the apostrophe of
the Great Teacher to men of like charac
ter in his dav. "Woe unto you, Scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrits, because ye
build the tombs of the prophetB and gar
nish the sepulchres of the righteous and
say, II we had been in the days of our
fathers, -we would not have been par
taker with them in the blood of the
prophets. Wherefore ye are witnesses
unto yourselves that ye are the children
of them which killed the prophets- Fill
ye"up the measure of your fathers. Ye
serpents, ye generation of Yipors, how
can ye escape the damnation of hell!"

The gross inequalities that exist in the
matter of the salaries of public officers
in this state are forcibly illustrated by
the fact that a justice of the peace in
Portland legally makes more than a jus
tice of the supreme court in Salem, a
clerk of the court more than the two
udges, a recorder of conveyances more
than ten good book keepers could get in
business offices, and a sheriff more than
all the others put together. But we
need not go away from home to find
proofs of the same inequalities. Here
it may be roughly said a clerk draws
twice as much as a circuit judge, more
than five times more than than a county
judge, six times more than a school
superintendent, five' or six times more
than an assessor, seven or eight times
more per day than a state senator or
representative; and yet. all of these latter
officers need natural -and acquired gifts
that may be wholly wanting in a clerk
It's a pretty system, take it-all round

We, a committe- of the "Eight-Mile
Farmer's Alliance, having investigated
a charge made against one of our mem
bers, namely, J. E. McCormick, of hav
ing, at the late republican county con
vention of this county, voted for a man
who had, as a member of the Oregon
legislature betrayed the interests of his
constituents, have been pleased to find
that the charge was without any founda
tion in fact, and that the blame right
fully attaches to other parties. We
desire to place this on record in justifi
cation of Brother McCormick and as a
token of our confidence in him and ap
preciation of the stand he took in the
matter in. question. W. D. Richards,

- Senator Stewart, who is oneof the most
ardent of the free coinage men, wants
other people to adopt the silver stand
ard, but gold is good enough for him.
It has been ascertained that in one
county of California he has twenty-five
mortgages recorded in his favor, and in
every one of them the principal and in-
terest are payable in gold coin. This
shows how sincere these men are when
they prefer to believe that free coinage
will bring the gold and silver dollars to
a parity. -
The town of Belden in Northern
. Michigan is aflame over the teachings of
a religious sect called Christadelphians,
or Brethren of Christ, whose prophet
and leader, a woman called Esther, and
her man Mordecai, have announced that
the end of the world will take place next
Tuesday. The people have prepared for
'.. he event by disposing of lands valued at
$165,000 to a shrewd Chicago speculator
named Hawson for less than $10,000.
Dr. Blalock, of Walla Walla, proposes
to have a water melon day at the' world's
. fair. He intends to plant a large acre
age of water melons next year, load up a
whole train of cars with them and when
begets them there give them away to
'eastern visitors who may be skeptical
about the resources of the far west.
Silver is now cheaper than it
ever was in the history of the world and
this in spite of the fact that the Sher
man law was intended . to create
market for all the silver produced in the
United States. It is absurd to say, as
some do whose theories on finance do not
square with this fact, that silver does
not decline in value: it is gold that has
increased. There is not a commodity in
the world that has not declined in value
in the last twenty years. . New processes
of production and manufacture have
made silver cheaper, as they have every
thing else and the present price of silver
only proves that that commodity is
subject to the same law of supply and
demand that governs the price of every
thing. -
Bob Burdette never misses the truth
very far when he says anything as the
following paragraph will show. He
says: "What this country needs is a
class of reformers who don't have to
stop every fifteen minutes and explain a
little distressing crookedness in their
own records. This is what impedes the
progress of-our mighty reform 86 like
thunder." .
It is reported that Objector Holman is
determined to make a very strong fight
against the river and harbor bill when it
comes np in the house. He thinks he
. will have strength enough to defeat it
and if he does Oregon will have some
thing to say about democratic liberality
on the sixth of June. - .- :.
. The Washington Independent comes
out squarely in favor of a portage road to

Tbe supreme court has reversed the
decision of Judge Boise in the matter of
the "saw dust" section of the act to pro
tect salmon ond other food fishes. An
action was brought to test the matter
and Judge Boise held that the section
was void because the constitution pro
vides that every act shall emprace but
one subject and matter properly con
nected therewith in its title.
General Weaver is engaged for six

General Weaver.
