Although the Hawaiian in- DAVIS BROS., PUBtrSHEXS. vesication ordered by the senate has I dim &nt. Tuirlv .turtorl 'tMpmhera nf thn MM States and Conuty Official Paper, administration are already trying to 1 discouht the effect of the unfavorable report which they know the fai'ls brought out will compel the comrniitee to make, and party .pressure is being brought to bear on toe democrats A 8t. Helena correspondent of the the committee, in order tq get them to Cathlamet Osteite, referring to an ar- et Mr. Cleveland down as easy as poa- tiole which lately appeared in these jble in that report, not for his ow columns under the head of "A Change sake but for the good of their party, Necessary ," in which we recommended if they keep on as they have started -our farmers to devote more attention thev will not liava anv party to speak l - - to fruit and hop raising and less labor 0f by 1896. Prof. William D. Alex and ground to the production of hay, Under, who has been surveyor ganeral potatoes, and what might be termed j 0f Hawaii for twenty years, gave im de stereotyped products of tins coun-l portant testimony to the committee. tv, undertook to ridicule the position I He charges that "Paramount" Bloun s havo taken on this a.uesUoo, and j suppressed all the really important in tried to show that there is more proht formation he cave him in Hawaii. in raising wheat, potatoes, hay, aud the ordinary crops, than the culture of Irwjt and hops. The correspondent makes one es- eeially startling statement to the effect that the farmer who has Jive acres of potatoes can sell them for fifty feats a sack and realiss $1,000 out of Jiis crop. We would like for tho cor respondent to refer bis readers to some farmer who has realized any such rwsult from his potato crop, or even five par cent of the amouut. We can (cite the writer to numerous cases where farmers in ibis immediate neighborhood have raised fine fields of potatoes this year and have not found sufficient demand or prices for them to justify digging, and one splendid field of potatoes inside the limits of this place now lies in the ground where they grew, the owner not being jMetified in digging them. This is not a solitary case. Our correspondents jn the interior of the county mention the fact that the finest kind of potatoes can be bad in their neighborhoods fer ; the digging. This, of coarse, is bad state of afiairs and should not exist, nor would it if there was a greater Var iety of salable crops produced, but we &o not wish to discourage the produo tion ot staple farm products, such as are enumerated above, lor they are at solute necessities and when not over produced are. always salable at good prices. On the other band fruit and hops are always salable at prices which justify the producer in making large outlay of labor. It is entirely withm the limits of reason to say that fruit and hops were the only profitable farm products grown in the state this year, the hop crop being the only one to yield any considerable amount of spot cash. The result of this season's ex . perieace should demonstrate the folly f giving too little scope to the variety of farm products. It has been the un profitable custom of our farmers to raise those crops which can be pro duced at the least expense of labor and outlay of capital and energy; the net result Ibis year being that the great body of arm products cannot be marketed for prices which will pay for harvesting them, while those crops which find a ready maikat at good net ash profits cannot be had at any price, because they have not been pro duced in sufficient quantities to supply Jbe demand. of Let go on Pennoyer. If the people of Oiegon really want Pennoyer stop misrepresenting facts regarding the condition of the state, and other wise disgracing it by making an ass of himself, they are going at it in a very unphilosophio manner. A fool is person who mistakes his folly fo smartness because his imtucihty at tracts a little comment or commisera tion, and because he is destitute sensitiveness hp imagines himself great man because he is noticed at all. The best way to close this man Fen noyer s brainless bead is to totally ig nore his vapnrings and treat his messes of sculch with thi contempt it merits. Just so long as the press and people continue to notice and dispute him just so long will he continue to con stitute himself a laughing-stock for the whole country and disgrace the state. Let go on bun ; contempt , will kill him, but criticism will only have the effect to cause the continued flo of acrid, nauseating vapor from the lump of sour paste with which his head is filled, instead of brains. Ottght to Know Its Value. About a year ago l took a violent attack: oi la grippe. I coughed day and night for about six weeks; my wife then sug rested that I try a bottle of Chamber laiu's Cough Kemedy, At hrsl 1 could see no difference, but still kept taking it, and soon found that it was what I needed. If I got no relief from one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I was free from the cough. I think people in general ought to know the value of this rem edy, and I take pleasure in acknowl edging the benefit I have received from it. Madison Mustard, Otway Ohio.

It is not surprising that the demo cratic bosses of the house bad decided that the final vote on the Cleveland tariff bill should be taken on the 17th .of this month. There is so little that can be said in its favor that tbey want ,the agony over as soon as possibIe,brit democratic absenteeism has already .caused them to extend the time until the 29th inst. Neither republicans nor jd.isratisfied democrats expect that the 4ill will be either defeated or mater ially changed in the house, although fl is said that Mr. Cleveland will try to piuster up enough democratic votes to .defeat the income tax amendment. It is in the senate that the bill can and jvill be defeated, if the words of dir aaijafied democratic senators can be depended upon, and republican sens tors do not allow themselves to be per suaded into helping dissatisfied demo crats to secure special amendments. jf the democratic senators can be Jorced to vole for or against the bill just as it is sent from the house, there are good reasons for believing that Hill and Murphy of New York, Smith ,of New Jersey. German of Maryland, .Faulkner of West Virginia, and Mor gan aud Hugh of Alabama, will vole against it. If they do, the bill will be defeated with two votes to spare, even ff the populist senators vote for it. as lliey probably will oo account of the income tax. ';'' :: i J.U, Senator Fbye introduced a resolu tion iu the senate, reciting that, in the opinion of the senate, there should ba no interference on the part of this government with Hawaii, either by moral influence or by force, pending the investigation, and requested that jit lie on the table until he gets an op portunity to call it up and move, its reference to the committee on for eign relations. When he calls it up Jie will make a few remarks that will not be pleasant reading to the admin istration or iu supporters. Bright were the prospects, clouds were not in ftiKht.
