We know of a herd of milk cows
nearSalem that was recently sub
jected to lie tuberculin test for
tuberculosis. What, readers, do you
think happened ? Why, it was found
necessaiy to kill just half of the
whole uumbcr. And these cows had
been supplying milk right up to the
time they were sacrificed! We do

The Americans are also active m
working up a trans-Pacific cable
project It is proposed to connect
San Francisco with the Philippines.
The British route is from E-quimalt
to Honolulu and thence to Apia and
Australia. The Au.ericrn line wi!l
run from San Francisco to the
Hawaiian islands, thence to Wake
and Guam, thence to Semar, and
from tint point to the Philippines.
Another lice is projected from some
American port to the Aleutian isl
ands and (hence to Japan. These
new cable lines have been talked ot
for yeirs, and it is only a matter of a
comparatively short time before
some of them are in operation.
2ew Atlantic cables are also being
constructed The German-American
line will be ready for business in
n few months. This will give the
United States direct communication
with Germany and France. It is
something that is needed, for the
service now is inadequate to the
growing demands of trade.
The service with South Amtiica
will also be improved in the near
future. At present it is very slow
and inefficient, and the rates charged
are almost prohibitive. The presi- I
dent thought the matter of sufficient
importance to call the attention of
congress to it in his last me. sage and
he suggested that the various nations
interested ought to come to some
suitable agreement in regard to the
reduction of rates, possibly through
international ownership. Spokesman-Review.

Ay ERICAS CHOPS OF li-O.
A REM Alt KA BL E MAX.
It is a very remarkable thing, that
for more than a year Admiral Dewey
has not committed an act or said
a word with which the American
people have bad occasion to find
fault, says the Review. Since May
1, 1698. he has perhaps been the
most conspicuous citizen of the
country. Large authority was en
trusted to hi til and he has performed
his duty to the satisfaction of every
body. Correspondents hedged him
about eager to get a word on any
and every subject relating to war or
to peace. Many ships wi;h ambitious
commnndeis were in his fleet but no
fllcer has bad a difference with him.
II had to co-operate with the at my,
but while he was at Manila there wns
no friction. To the management of
the affairs given over to his charge
there has been no complaint. No
fault hs been found with anything
he has done; no criticism has been
passed on anything ho has said. No
charges Lave been brought because
of diplomatic indiscretion, favoritism
to certain commands, shabby treat
ment of t nlisted men, poor rations
or a lick of ability to meet every
situation that presented itself. On
.the contrary it has been a persistent
repetition of "Well done, good and
faithful servant."
This can be said of few men who
held prominent positions dnring the
war. McKinley has been called a
drifter, Alzet has been thrown ont
bcause of wholesale dissatisfaction
n the part of the country, Corbin
has been "sized up" as a mere bundle
ot pompous incompetency, talking
with newspapers has thrown Miles
into discredit, Roosevelt bas been
referred to as an earnest bronco
busting volunteer, Shafter wi'l go
down in history as a man of weight
merely through avoirdupois, Otis is
called an old granny, Merritt a
soured military theorist, Sampson
and Schley, through their own mis
taken efforts cr because of the ill-
The outlook for wheal and coin
in the United Slates is better, on the
whole, than was expected a few
weeks ago, says the Globe-Democrat.
Translated into quantity, the
most recent report of the department
of agriculture indicates a jield of
about 500,000,000 bushels of wheat
and of 2,121,000,000 bushels of corn.
The Ggures for wheat agree with the
estimates cf most of the authoiities,
but those here cited for coin, and
which are given on the basis of the
computation made by the statistician
of the New York Produce Exchange,
are somewhat above those arrived at
by other experts. The lowest esti
mate, however, docs not bring the
coin crop below the 2,000,000,000
line.
Ail this is highly encouraging to
American farmers. The wheal yield,
as here given, has never been ex
ceeded in the United States except
in 1S91, when it was 612,000,000
bushels, and in 1893, when it was
C7i,000,000. The corn crop has
gone above the 2,000,000,000 line in
1889, 1891, 1895 and 189G. The
corn yield in all ihoso years exciltd
surprise. This y tar's crop may go
up to the figures of any of those
years except 189C, when the reduc
tion was 2,383,875,105, as figured by
the department of agriculture after
the crop was gathered. The most
optimistic estimates thus far made
do not indicate a crop in 1899 quite
up to the 1896 mark, but it may
break the record for all the other
years.
Foreign crop reports, as just out
lined by the department of agri
culture in Washington, make the
si'.uation peculiar' encouraging to
the American farmer. Russia is the
chief rival of the UniteJ Slates
among Europe's exporters of wheat.
Russia's wheat crop of 1899 will be
from 85,000,000 lo 120,000,000
bushels short of the yield of 1893.
This year Russia wiil have hardly
enough wheat to supply its borne
needs, and will not export any of it.
France's wheat crop will be slightly
above the average, Prussia's and
Auslna's will be about at last year's
figures, which were r.ot flattering,
while the crop in Italy and Spain
will be below 'last j-ear's n.aik.
Taking Europe fcs a whole, Ihe wheat
crop will be considerably below that
of 1898. This will enlarge the
market f r the United States' prod
uct. While the American consumer
will probably not have to pay much
more for his food than he did last
year, the American fanner is sure of
a market abroad for all his surplus.
here; but how do you know the
milk you are di inking is not filled
with the germs of consumption?
There is but one way to know. That
test ought to be made universal and
regular. The law contemplates this.
But the law is not enforced. There
are plenty of healthy cows. Most
ot the cows are bcalihy. But it
would not hurt these to be legularly
subjected to the test. Statesman.
In a year the net amount of gold
in the treasury has increased from
189,0( 0,000 to 21G,000,000, and
Ihe country's supply of gold has gone
up to 975,000,000, the largest held
by one nation.
Dewey is leportcd to have said at
Tiicste: "I .believe peace can be
made wiih the insurgents long before
the rainy seison is over." This
optimistic opinion may result in an
other round robin.
Grant was praised for his reticence
hbout plans, but it seems from some
later critics that a commanding
general with this trait deserves to be
summarily removed.

II ,ke Smit'i, editor of the Atlanta
Journal, favors discontinuance cf
the war in the Philippines and the
retirement of our troops from tLe
islands. He says be hopes and be
lieves our arms will fail, and he
declares that the South is opposed to
continuance of the war. On the
other hand, Clark Howell, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, says thai
there are a great many people in the
South who believe in standing by
the administration in circumstances
like those at present shaping our
policy, and that the South is par
ticularly interested in upholding the
government in Cuba. Mr. Howell
says further that the Democratic
party should be cautious in its utter

A DISGUSTING TRAIT-
Curiosity Displayed Kcrrtln Crlml
nala aod Their Victims Alia
in I'rlTate Lire.
For a paper which just hits the nail on
the head and attacks wrong in a msnner
which is commendable, and calculated
to shovr them up in a fearless manner,
which ehcu'd make the guilty parties
hide their faces in very shame, com
mend us to the Telegram.
Iftheieisa trait of human nature
which is disgusting to those who have a
spark cf refined feelings, it ia the morbid
curiosity which prompts, not only the
riffraff, but those who claim to be re
spectable people, to snarm about a jail
where an a leged murderer or other
criminal is confined, in the hope of gain
ing a glimpse at the prisoner. The more
henious the crime he is charged with,
the more anxious do they appear to
strew flowers in his pathway or heap at
tention upon him. Equally as revolt
ing is the habit of fairly troddiug upon
one another in the effort to gaiu d-the reins,

mitUnce to the morgue where is the
corpee of his victim. What possible satis
faction can there be in gnzing upon the
lifeless features of a poor unfortunate
who has met such a fate as did Clara
Fitch last week in Portlaud, and yet the
papers tell ns that it would seem one
half of the populace of that city visited
the morgue in the endeavor to gain a
glimpse of her face.
Not alone do we eee this trait ex
hibited in sucbcjse?, but the inqutaitive
ness displayed at a private funeral is
only another feature of the same innate
curiosity; when many who in life per
haps had never seen the one whom
friends are paying the last respects to,
or at any rate, had never spoken with,
hasten to the home (which perhaps will
scarcely accommodate the nearest friends
of the deceased) merely through a feel
ing borne of cuiiosity. Often have we
seen mothers lift the infant child to
gaze upon the features of one whom the
little one had never seen and could not
realize w hat it ail meant, but returned
home to have its dreams disturbed by
the myslery which had been thus par
tially revealed to it.
These are unpleasant subjects upon
which to dwell, but nevertheless have
become ao familiar to all that it is im
possible to pass them by unnoticed.
Regarding the case now being tried in
Portland and touching on the same
subject, the Telegram says :
" Morbid and disgusting curiosity,
springing from the soil of silly mind
and operating in an atmosphere of bad
manners, brings a swarm of silly young
female to the city jail, eager for a
chance to gaze longingly upon the
prisoner McDaniel. These mentally and
morally unlovely specimen of femininity
would hug and kis him if they could,
on ihe theory that he ia a local Durrani
and a monster who after Injnring one of
their sex during her life strangled her to
death. Tbu isn't proved yet, by a long
way ; but these idiotic creature suppose
he ia guilty j otherwise they wouldn't be
"stuck" on him. It is a pity the whole
warm can't be locked np for sixty
day."
A COLLISION.
the buggies, and the little care which
the rider) seem to take to keep from
under the horses' hoofs.
What might havo been a very serious
accident took place Wednesday night at
8:45, on the courthouse corner, when a
team diiven by James Simonson collided
with Frauk Menefee's horse and buggy.
Tho former was going up Union street
and about to turn the corner of Third,
and Mr. Menefee, who had Prof. Gilbert
out driving, was coming down the
street. It was quite dusk, but the
gentlemen claim they had plenty of
room to pass had not several little girls
on whncls attempted to turn the corner
at the same time, and to avoid running
over them Mr. Simonson gave his horse
a slight turn, coming in contact with the
wheels of Mr. Menefee' buggy. This
frightened the horee, which reared up
and almost got its feet into the other
buggy, The tongue struck Mr. Gilbert
on the left leg, but in some manner he
succeeded in getting out cf the buggy.
Mr. Menefee also got cut, but held to
until seeinir Mr. Gilbert'
condition, and knowing how helpless he
was to get oat of the horse's way, he
let go of the reins and went to his is
sistar.ee. A number had gathered, and it
was soon found he was not seriously
hurt, having received a slight bruise on
the leg which was injured before, and
another bruise on bis arm. He was
shaken up pretty badly, anil in his
weak, helpless condition, it ia a mercy
he was not killed. Mr. Huntingirn
came along with his buggy and con
veyed Mr. Gilbert to his home. He
has not been able to walk at all, merely
crawling about, and has creatiy ei j iyc-d
ths ride which Mr. Mene.'ee has given
him.
Being let loose, Menefee's horse lit
out for Second street, and in front of
the poiitolllce lie r in became entangled
in the wheel and slackened his ppeed,
when Lewi Porter stopped him.
The young lady who was diivinu with
Mr. Simonson jumped from the buggy
and was not hurt. Mr. Simonson sron
got his team under control.
It was an accident in which no one
seemed to be to blame, and was, after
all, a fortunate one for those concerned.
As Mr. Gilbert said to his family, "I
am a subject for congratu'ation." To
hi friends he seem to be particularly
unforlunate as regard accidents.
