There are two sidee to the Hawaiian annexation treaty, but the right title appears to be the side of auneiation. The Hawaiian inlands and Cuba should both belong to the United States. Not entirely for their agricultural wealth but largely for nte ai coaling stations. Thb queen's jubilee ha bee cele brated this week. Victoria has reigned sixty years and her subjeots are glad of it The house of Hanover, once al most extinct, stands today as a monu ment to the greatest era of prosperity eter witnessed in the history of monarchy. - If farm prices do not stop advanc ing and silver prices do not stop their downward course, there will be noth ing left to sustain the chief theory of the free-coinage orators of last fall that prices of fcirm products kept pace with those of silver. Leading farn products have increased in price more than 50 per cent, since this beaatiful theory was exploited 00 the stump last fall, while the price of silver has mean time steadily decreased. T Omaha World Herald, Mr. Brv ao's organ, in its extremity over the agony that 33 Southern men in con gress are supporting the protective tariff bill, charges that they are North era carpet baggers, and do not repre sent Southern sentiment. . Ao exami nation of their autobiography to . the congressional directory, however, shows that this statement is without foundation, as a very large per cent of the 35 Southerners supporting the protective tariff bill are natives of the states which they now represent, or if not, are natives of the South. Th erstwhile vice-preaidential can- didate of the populiat party, the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, still was his knife op his sleeve for the Hon. Marion Butler, chairman, of the populist na tional committee. He is also dallying with the same knife with reference to bis running mate on the late presidea tial ticket, the Hon. Vim. J. Bryan, He says in a recent editorial in his paper: "If Mr. Bryan is a democrat let him say so. Then we will know what be u. If, as his friends assert, he is a real popoliat, let him be honest enough to quit parading in democratic Clothes." DttArroamucsT follow disappoint ment among the popoc ratio leaders. Not only are they disappointed in the fact that the republican have pre sented a solid front en the tariff ques tion and failed to quarrel among them selyes npon currency, or any other question, but they are even more dis tressed to find their own party falling to pieces on the question of protection as well a silver, since their vote against the protective feature of the tariff bill is growing weaker daily, while their arguments in behalf of free silver are being disproven by every week's development since election. Thb Dalles Times-Mouutainier and the Astoria Budget, two Bryan organs, are just now busy calling each other name. The Times-Moantaineer says Gratke of the Budget, who was a mem , ber of the Salem farce last winter, sold out, and thereby injured -the silver cause. It is largely a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It must be admitted, though, if Gratke did sell out be stack to hi bargain, while those for whom the Times-Mountaineer presumes to speak, sold out to every man that produced the price, and it is not disputed that some of them sold to the same party more than once dur ing the legislative auction. Bbotheb Emir v orders ns to either put up or shut up concerning hi leg islative record. Under the necessity of obeying orders, we bave decided to put op. We will put np the populist member, U'Ben of Clackamas, who says the hold-up members, with one exception, were paid out of sack raised by the enemies of Senator Mitchell, meaning "Joe Simon and bis gang," at the populiat brethren are food of putting it. We will put up Brother Emery bimsell, who promised, if elected to the legislature, to abolish the railroad and other useless commis sions, reinstate the mortgage-tax law, and assist the people to any amount of remedial legislation. Instead of ful filling these obligations we see him consorting with such fellows as U'Ken in a herd managed, fed and fattened by Jonathan Bourne and Joe Simon, to prevent a legislative session ; to pre vent the railroad commission from be ing abolished j to prevent any remedial legislation whatever. And be says the popnlists of Yamhill county are satisfied with such & report, Yamhill Reporter. ' - ' Thb theorists who insisted during the last fall' discussion of the silver question that the adoption of the sil ver standard would prove advantageous to our foreign commerce will probably be surprised to Bud that it is this very subject which led Japan and Peru to adopt the gold standard. Statements by the officials of these two nation show that in each caae they found that their foreign oommeroe w suf fering by reason of the fluctuations in the value of their currency since for signers in accepting their coin simply classed it as bullion, while they forced it upon the citisen of those countries at it face value in payment of their experts. This testimony a to the real effect of a silver standard on foreign commerce, coming simultaneously, as it does from two nations widely separ ated, is extremely valuable, and must show to those who were inclined to ac cept the foreign commerce theory of the silver proposition last fall that it was an erroneous on. Thb important report come from Washington that President McKinley will no longer interpose his influence against the passage by the house of the Cuban belligerency resolution which has already passed the senate. It is said that the president defines his position in regard to the resolution by remarking: "Let the people have their way." It may be taken for granted that the recent course of Spain in giving renewed approval to the Canova ministry, and it evident pur pose to permit General Weyler to con tinue hi policy of exterminating non- combatants, leaves our government without a hope that real concession will be offered to Cuba, or the warfare against it people conducted on civil ised line. The president therefore decides that the time ha come for congress, a the representative of the people, to nse its deliberate judgment in regard to granting belligerent right to the struggling Cuban. FARM NOTES. (Willamette Farmer.) Cucumber for pickles need not be planted until the middle of June or first days of July.. - Plant peas every week until the middle of Jane, and a succession may be bad until the end of the season. Level culture has been shown by the re peated experiments to be better than hill ing np in cultivation of all garden crop. Sheep will get mora sustenance from poor land and do the land more good at the same time than any other stock. Prune blackberry vines as soen as the blossom appears, being careful not to cut away bearing canes. ' Keep raspberry vine pinched back to three feet. The best proof that there is a fair profit in raising good cattle may be fonnd in the men who handle that sort are not com plaining about the business. The ordinary drouth is harmless when berries have frequent cultivation, for the roots strike deep into the mellow soil. An early and a vigorous growth is. stimulated. Many good thrifty weeds will produce 50,000 seeds. One cut with the hoe will destroy the parent weed; how many eats will it take to thoroughly eradicate its progeny. Many sn acre produces Ha $100 or more in grapes, and yet many farmers do not grow for family use, preferring to let the odd comers and nooks grow up in weeds and bushes. To stock a farm with twenty cows and the necessary fixture will coat $1000. A flock of ISO sheep can be bought for half that sum, and will feed upon the same land. It has been observed that grape rot never attacks grape that climb into trees or that are fastened to the wall of a house. Thla is one of the things not yet explained by scientists. If the singletree injure the bark of a tree when plowing, apply clay made into a thick mortar, and wrap it about with bur lap. Probably the tree will heal without serious damage. Good farming is not possible unless you have efficient teams. Horses are cheap now, and it is a good time to dispose of the poorer work animal and fill their places with better ones. Bog meadow grass is wen known to have but a small percentage of nutritive prop erties, bit if cut early and cored in the heap by sweating it has a veins as coarse fodder. A ration of It can be brought np to the right proportions by the use of wheat bran and cotton seed or linseed meal, and be mads to serve very useful purpose. Ths really good cow is like the really smart man a little nervous. She is liable to be influenced by new surroundings or those which disturb the even tenor of her way in any fashion. A flock of sheep demands little care, com paratively, while cows must be milked, the milk cared for and the butter and cheese made. Where tbe former would thrive the cattle would starve, almost. Thousands ef seres of hill lands, whlcb are apparently worthless, could be re deemed and made profitable by encourag ing tbs growth of clover or other green crops, and then using ths land for sheep. Before you tblnk yen have money to bnrn or to put into fast horses or a shiny buggy, put it into a wind mill. It will of ten permit the nse of an idle pasture field, or will save tbe garden in time of drought Success upon tbe farm depends not so much upon the capital which is expended as upas tbs labor and skill with which it is ueed. Ia no other business is tbe man with but a little money at less disadvant age. When the cattle market became depressed ths poor stun suffered first When there is but s slight profit at the best, with poor stock it does not require much of a drop before said profit is entirely annihilated. A horse ean do so much mors work thsn a hoe that there will be many times when the possession of an extra animal will savs the paytug out money for labor. Get young hones, tf for ne other reason than that they will last longer. A Michigan cheese factory has sent out the following pointers to Its patrons: "Filth ctnnot be strained from milk. Milk will catch and h4d bad odors from table, woodhou's and filthy yards. The beat milk, if shut Into a can tightly when warm, will spoil inside of three hours," : , When the milch cow is growing fat she is not being ted right to produce the largest yield ef milk, or she Is not the breed for tbs dairy. Since butter Is ths object, test her orearn while she is fattening, and after she becomes fat, and decide her fat with out any scruples. Attention csnnot h fixed too Intently upon ths importance of knowing the coin- position of food and adopting It to the end for which an animal is kept. There Is no deartmnt of modern farming to which there is so moon difficulty in making eon- verts as in the rationing of live stock. Crop and Weather Ileport. Post-laud, June 21 The rsln has been beneficial, though more would be of greater benefit. There has not been sufficient rain to insure good crops of late sown grain; oats and wheat, sown after May 1st, are not more than 6 to 10 inches high and beads are forming. Fall and winter sown grain hare been greatly improved by the shower. The grain sown before March 1st now promises to be a good average crop; that sown alter March 1st will not make an average, though its con dition will be improved by more rain. The correspondents all report an improved ap pearance in the grain crop, though more rain ia desired. Haying has commenced ; the rains have delayed the work, and some bay has been wet. Ths hay erop will be short; a few lo calities in the coast couuties report a large bay crop, but elsewhere it is reported to be a abort crop, Tbe rains hav been a bene fit to the bay not as yet cot and will ma terially improve it, but no amount ol rain or other weather conditions will now make the hay crop an average one; the erop is by no means a failure, however. Hops are making rapid growth. The cool, cloudy snd humid weather conditions are favorable to the development and in crease ef the hop louse, and they are ap pearing in large numbers. Sugar beets are making excellent growth, and the growers are delighted with the prospects. Flax for fibre is 10 inches high. aad is making most satisfactory growth. Vegetables hav made good growth, the weather has been very favorable for them. Late planted potatoes are up and growing well, while early planted are being dug and put upon the market. Cherries are plentiful ; the cherry crop is larger than was anticipated. Peach trees are being hand-pruned on account of being overloaded with fruit. Ths prune, pear and apple crops are more premising, and many correspondents report trees as full as they will hold. The small berries art ripen ing, and are plentiful. A brief summary of conditions, as they at present show, is: Fall and winter sown grain a good crop; spring grain improved, yet poor. Vegetables, Including potatoes, a good crop; small berries fully an average fruit of all kinds, on the whole, a fair aver age; hay a abort crop. - FROM MAYGEB. There are about 30 Japs at work on the railroad at this place. ' Thomas Meserve, of Delena, was seen in our vicinity last Sunday. If it rains any more hare at present there will not be a half a crop of hay. Mart Matthews is hauling plank for tbs county road at this place from Meserve's mill. Mrs. Smith, Miss Maud Symons and Mr. Will Symons, of Dent, were visiting friends here last Satarday. Will Scbeider and Leon Malcolm, o! Ky ser, were visitors at John Hoffman's last Satarday and Sunday, and wills here will attend the Macabees' lodge. Mr. J. & Mitchell. of the K. 0. T.
