Democrats, Miers, cf Indiana, and,
Sulzer, of New Yoik,
ou ine side,!
and the Republican, Grosvenor, of
Ohio, on the other. As usual, the
Democrats made capital out of any
thing and everything, promising all
soits of reforms, from the Democratic
standpoint, and clinching the aryu
ment(?) by well-rounded perorations,
one of which says on its tail end,
'.hat stalwart and gallant leader of
the people, William J. Rryan."
Grosvenor then tcxk the floor and
flayed the !j Democratic orators
thoroughly. The Chhomcle quotes
from his remarks as made. He said
in part:
MMr. Chairman, I am not a candi
date for tic vice presidency of the
U cited States, and if I were I should ! stand by the parly that stood by
bave no opposition for that office in ! them."
my own delegation. Therefore I am Mr. Grosvenor showed most cou
cot excited about this trust question; elusive ly that the Republican alter-
but I want to point out now the sort
of absurd statements that are being
mi le by men claiming to be mem
bcrs of congress and being intelligent
citizens of the country.
"Now, in the first place, I did talk
in the beginning of this congress a
few words about the Sherman anti
trust law, and now comes the gentle
man from New York (Mr. Sulzer)
and says that the attorney-general of
Ohio undertook to enforce tLe Sher
man anti-trust law and war was
made on the attorney-general. I
pause for the bouse to absorb the
enormous ignorance involved in that
statement. The Sherman anti-trust
law is a law of congress, to be en
forced against violators of the inter
state commerce under the provisions
of that act, and to be enforced by
district attorneys in the United States
courts, and not by the attorney
general of states, and my friend here
who goes hippodrorring over the
country comes back leaded with such
nonsense as that.
"No, neit. The Republican
legislature of the Male of Ohio passed
what is known as the Valentine anti
trust law, applicable to the operations
oftiustsiu the state of Ohio. Mr.
Muiiett, as he bad a right to do, as
it was his dnty to do, brought suits
on Jer that law in the supreme court
cf Ohio, and the first step toward
adjudication was raised by a demur
rer to the petition, raising the
.question of the constitutionality of
the law. It was argued on one side
by Mr. Virgil Kline, of Cleveland,
and Mr. Ncal, of my own congres
sional district, both eminent lawyers,
and on the other side by the attorney
general and by his assistant; and the
supreme court decided by a unani
mous opinion upholding the consti
tutionality of the law, and decreeing
its enforcement against the violatois
of it In the slate of Ohio.
The Sherman anti-trust law was
passed by a Republican congress,
signed by a Republican resident,
lay absolutely dead on the statute
book during the term of the only
full-fledged Democratic administra
tion we bave had in thirty d I years.
The Tery moment this Republican
administration came in it wis put
into active motion, and under the
instrumentality of the courts of the
country the trans-Missouri combina
tion was broken up, the tra flic associ

and the court has made a decision
th'it holds thit'lhis very law, this
Sherman anti-trust law, applies to

the United States for interstate com

the gentleman p-opoio to add to
that ?

howling in the ears of the American
people upon that subject does not
krow what the American people are
made of. The American people,
Mr. Chairman, understand one thing,
and there can be no dispute about it;
they understand that for four years
from 1892 to 1836 business broke
down; they starved; everything wentla
to destruction and disaster all over
this country. And they know that
it was not twenty-four hours after

directed the anti-trust fights before
the United States supreme court, in
all cases, and that this law of more
than thirty years was active and in
full force. He also noted the fact
that Mr. Monett, the attorney
general who made the successful
fight in Ohio, is a Republican, com
pletely overthrowing the claim that
anti-trust agitation and legislation is
a creation of the Democratic party.
Mr. Grosvenor's remarks are a
sweeping denunciation of the cam
paign wind-jammers who are thresh
ing about for material to make a
respectable platform for the Demo
cratic party.
SUICIDE ASD LIFE IXSURASCB
Last Saturday evening A. P. Moss,
of Genesee, Idaho, was initiated into
membership in a fraternal insurance
order and took out a t2000 policy.
Monday be made an nusuccessful
effort to destroy himself, and Tues
day be committed suicide by cutting
his throat with a razor.
The Spokesman-Re vie says: If
the facts bave been correctly re
ported, this was an aggravated case
of deliberate intent to defraud, in a
small way, a large number of mem
bers of a worthy fraternal association.
At best, suicide, gave in cases where
the victim is distinctly insane, is a
lamentable confession of failure.
When, as in this case premeditation
of the destructive djed carries also
a premeditated scheme to invade the
treasury of a benevolent order, the
deed becomes a double sin.
Another lesson is suggested by
this pitiable tragedy. The spirit of
rivalry between various fraternal in
surance orders in the United States
may lead to dangerous disregard of
the safeguards which ought to.be
thrown around every application for
membership. Often the conditions
of entrance are made dangerously
easy ; and too often the medical ex
amination, which should be rigid and
exacting, becomes perfunctory. It
is also a fact that some of these fra
tcrnal orders keep open doors for
risks which the "old line" companies
will not accept. Popularity and
numerical strci.gth are thus made to
outweigh caution and conservatism.
PROSPERITY FOR THE MASSES
Soon the time will be hero for
voters to consider the political situa
tion and decide the weighty questions
of a presidential year. Is the pros
perity that was promised, and which
has come, for the few or the many?
Positive tests will properly be asked.
Vague assertions are not convincing.
The New York Journal of Commerce
gives tome figures on the savings
banks of that state which are right
to the point. In 1891 deposits in
creased by 113,775,418 and the
average deposit was 1388, In
tho
rt war cf ine ensuinz Democratic,
administration deposits fell off 12,
793,824 and the decline toulinued.

savings banks, or more msn tue
! Tbc.average deposit is t43, against
$.389 in 1893.
More than 2,000,000, thrifty citi
zens of the state of New York had
to their credit in the savings banks
on the first day of the present year
$587,180,050, or 1C9,000,000 more
than when McKinley assumed the
duties of president. By these figures
may be truly judged the genera!
Dature of the prosperity that has re
turned to the people. Many honest
persons believed four years ago that
good times could only come through
flood of silver and that, in any
case, the gold standard would not
benefit the wage earner. To the
extent that they are fair-minded they
will admit that they were completely
mistaken. New York's savings bank
figures are not exceptional. They
are matched in other slates where
the system is established. Some of
the Southern papers scoff at the idea
that Republican success in 1696 has
bad anything to do with 9-cent cot
ton. But to the Republicans must
be credited the fact that the 9-ccnt
i6 payable in gold and that general
business conditions aie in every way
improved and hopeful. The Demo
cratic party declared that cotton
could never advance until the mints
were opened to unlimited silver. It
is useless to quarrel with accomplished
facts.
It appears, from testimony brought
out before the congressional investi
gation of the Wardner "bullpen," in
which ceveral hundred desperate
criminals were confined many weeks
last summer, awaiting adjudication
of the trouble they . had brought
about, that these men and their
apologists expected to be provided
with first-class hotel accommodations
during their incarceration, says the
Oregonian. That the outraged citi
zens of Idaho, for whose protection
in life and property these men were
restrained of their liberty, did not
consider them entitled to special
privileges, is, in the circumstances,
not strange. If experience demon
strated to these outlaws the simple
fact that the "bullpen" was a good
place to keep out of, the common
wealth will be tho gainer. To the
extent that this fact is made clear by
the investigation now in progress, it
will be of benefit to mine-owners and
and peaceably disposed miners in the
outlying districts of the great West.
It is clear that ex-Secretary Olney
has no business in the Democratic
party if the Bryan brand of politics
continues to bold the Democratic
name. Olney is not only opposed to
the 16 to 1 folly , but he is just as
hostile to the flag-furling imbecility
which Bryan advocates. The former
head of the state department under
Cleveland is a Republican on those
two important issues. There is good
reason, moreover, to believe that
there are hundreds of thousands of
Democrats who stand with him on
those questions. Olney will have to
vote the Republican ticket in 1900.
In fact, the Republicans are reason
ably sure of getting many votes
from the Democrats this year.
No mention of silver or the cur
rency is found in t!ie call of the
Democratic national committee. It
Invites those who are against "the
empire" to come forward. No doubl
the committee thought enough will
be done for silver when its champion
is nominated.

The track is now Ui-1 22 miles
south of Mom, scd the roadbed finished
for 10 miles further. There are over 400
men white and Japs at work, and
Mr. Mason expects to see the rails laid
to Shaniko, the terminus, by April 15.
New settlers are building cabins on
the prairies in ail directions, he says,
and all the agricultural land in Sherman
county is likely to be taken np nuJer
the homestead act, '.his spring. Many
of these newcomers are plowing and
sowing, and the acreage set to grain will
be the largest in the history of the
county.
Building has began in the new me
tropolis of Shaniko. A hotel, saloon
and several business houses are in
progress of erection, while stockyards
and grain warehouses aro being built at
points along the new line. It is ex
pected that 30,000 sheep will be shorn
and dipped in Suaniko this season, the
wool beinii shipped away by rail. A
number of Lusineas men of Mora and
The Dilles, are preparing to establish
branch houses in Shaniko.
Bonrbon, a new town, has been started
on the Una eight miles south of Graes
Valley, ami this is going to be quite
an important point, as a large grain
growing and stokraising country will be
tributary. Tba ton of Kent, five miles
southeast of Bourbon, will be moved to
the line, and a eidetrack will be con
structed at Wilcox, eight miles south of
Kent. A depot anl water tank are to
be constructed at Grass Valley, where
two bi warehouses are already nearly
completed. The telegraph line will be
expended from Wasco to Shaniko right
away.
"Wheat looks splendid," says Mr.
Mason, "and all signs point to an im
mense crop as well as a largo acreage.
If grain is only a fair price next fall,
Sherman connty fanners will bave
twenties to throw at the birds."

at any other lime, is approaching; in
fact is at hand. The fruit of negligence
is apparent on all sides, causing loss of
valuable orchards to many horticultur
ists, and to remedy the evil is the first
consideration.
One of the most common pests is the
San Jose ecalo. It has gained snch a
firm foothold that nothing but united,
strenuous efforts will avail to obtain,
satisfactory results. The extermination
of the pest can only be attained by
proper and thorough spraying Ue
only the very best spraying mixture and
be careful in application to the trees.
The neglect of one limb means a menac-,
the slighting of any part endangers your
whole orchard. -The trouble in tho putt
has been that the work in many orchards
has been slipshod, while neighbors have
been painstaking. The result is very
unsatisfactory, in fact aluioet barren cf
any results. And the trees in the valley
will never be lid of the pest until uni
form, painstaking is the rule.
Another evil to be contended with is
the codlln moth. Now Is the season to
destroy these worms that canse unsale
able frnit. Tho pest winters under the
bark of the trees, and a few days spent
in the orchards will do wonders toward
destroying the moth. The worm is
about ready to crawl ont and look around
for fruit blossoms, and Ids career can
easily be nipped in the bad, and if gone
at systematically will add dollars to the
output ot the orchard. Walla Walla
