WrrHm th. past ten days th. price of silver has dropped about ten per cent., yet the price of wheat remains about the same as reported one week ago. How, then, does the price of silver have anything to do with the price of wheat, as our populist friends would make believe. Last fall Mark Hanna was accused of hating bought up all the wheat in the country in order to raise the price for political purposes. Well, Hark seems to be still "buying wheat" and maintaining the price. On the same line of reasoning Mark might now be accused of having organized corner on silver and bought it all up in order to redoes the price. How about that? Or he may have ordered the discovery of the Alaska gold fields for "political purposes." How about that?! Ths supreme court has decided that claims against the stale must be audited and warrants drawn just the same as if an appropriation had been -jMd-fn. thai nrjaoeflJigthaJcg?gla tare last winter. Aside from the ieHTt"rAtll"M "'laas undiscovered to ter of the law, the decision is one of justice to the whole people of the state, and in a considerable degree resoues the (title from the great loss which would be sustained were it not possible to use the money collected as taxes during the two yean which would elapse between the attempted session of 1897 and the session to be beld in 1899. The machinery of state government may once more run along smoothly and its bills paid out of money already ia the treasury. Tbi people of. the United States have evidently profiled by the lessons of the hard times during the past four years. The Sew York Sun (demo cratic) published, a few days since, a Urge number of telegrams from Tar- ions parts of the country, especially the farming communities of the West, indicating that the farmers in every locality are taking advantage of the good prices which they are' getting for their crops to pay off their mortgages. In every part of the country farm mortgages and other obligations of that character are being rapidly re duced in number and size, and, with the splendid prospects and prices in eight, the coming year will doubtless see a targe reduction in the indebted neea about which the calamity shriek' era have indicated such distress. Much is being said of late anent the Portland Savings bank which closed its doors some four years ago. The Oregonian is frantic in its efforts to fasten the blame for the suspension of the bank, by which many people were practically robbed, upon D.P. Thorn p eon. While, no doubt, Mr. Thompson shared in the earnings of the defunct concern while it wss in operation, there are others who are as deep in the mire as he. It now transpires that the editor of the Oregenian was also a stockholder in the bank, and also shared in its profits. The manner in which the depositors were looted by the manipulators of the rotten es tablishment was shameful, and yet it baa taken the Oregonian four years to discover the rottenness of a concern to which the editor of that paper was a party. The fact of the matter is the Oregonion has always bad an inclina tion to cover np the shady transactions of a certain gang of boodlers in Port land, through wboee manipulations the public has repeatedly been fleeced. It seems a little strange that the congressional delegation from Oregon cannot agree upon persons to recom mend for the various appointive offices of the state, as reports from Washing ton would indicate. Some of the offi cial terms of federal office-holders have already expired, and others will expire soon, yet no agreement has been reached whereby the places may bs filled by men in sympathy with the administration's policy. While Cleve land was president no republican was allowed to serve longer than his offi cial term, and in many instances the change was msde npon some pretext before the end of the term. This wss true in the case of the register of the land office at Oregon City. If the congressional delegstion cannot agree in this matter it might be well for the .Republican Editorial Association to got together and see if it can come to some agreement, and if so make some recommendations and send to Wash ington. The republican uewspapers of Orgon csn dictate many of the sp 1 ointments if Uiey will stand together; and since they bear the brunt of the battle in every campaign there is no resson why they should not be hsard in the matter of federal appointments. We believe the president of the Re publican Editorial Association should call a meeting for the purpose of tak ing some action in this matter. . t; .J...J Quietly and among themselves offi cer of the army and navy are said to bef discussing the international possi bilities ef a few months hence.- That kind of preparation whiuh does not show itself to the world is going on. It contemplates no immediate emer gency. It la of the character which will be appreciated it the need of it shall appear later in the year. If the occasion shall not arise, theu the peo ple will not be the wiser for much that is now transpiring. If a'war scare shall come it will be discovered that the administration has not been neglectful in time of peace. Officers of the army and uavy have no doubt that this government will be actively engaged with the Cuban situation be fore many weeks have passed. There is entertained ' the same confidence that this is not an administration to take a step backward in regard to Hawaii. Unless the sensle shall fail to develop the two thirds vote tor rati, fioation, the annexation policy will go on, regardless of the views of other nations. Becogniiing that the presi dent is to pursue a progressive policy, both in regard to Cuba and Hawaii the army and navy people are looking forward to i situation which may easily become serious. They have seen enough te satisfy them that this is to be an administration with a ro bust American policy. Some Large Nag-gets. No discoveries of large nuggets of gold have yet been reported from the Clondvke. In this respect at least. date, are interior to tnoteot early Vl norma and Australia. The largest nugget of solid gold of which the world baa record, was found at Mount Moliagel, Australia, in 1869. It weighed 190 pounds, and its value was M3.6UU. A nugget from Balarat weighing 184 pounds, 8 ounces, and was worth over f 41.000. The Blanche Barkley nugget, also found in Aus tralia, weighed lio pounds. The greatest msss of gold ever known to have been taken from a vein came from a New South Wales mine in 1872. It weighed 640 pounds, and was worth S148.UUU. A mass of 160 pounds, partly quarts, was taken from a vein on Carson bill. California. In I860 a highly crystal line mass of 17 pounds was dug up near Georgetown, CaL It was worth 14000. This precious metal is everywhere in tne sou, in the rocks and even in the waters of old ocean, it having been demonstrated that a ton of sea water carries about 4 cents worth of the metal.' : Some have thonght that placer gold was largely of meteoric origin, but this is fanciful, as no meteoric stone has ever been found that carried gold The more plausable and generally so canted theory is that it all came from the deeper caverns of the earth, and was thrown up in a vaporous form in the distant sges when the earth was in convulsions. When this phenonie non was in progress much of the pree ious metal was caught by quarts and other rocks for which it bas an ama- ity ; some of it was probably precipi tated as placer gold a veritable golden shower descending from the dark, min eralized clouds which floated over tn e feverish earth. Crop and Weather Report. ' Portland, Oregon, Aug. 9, 97. Tbe warm, dry weather was ef no injury, but on the other hand, was of great bne6t to the hops. Hop lice thrive in warm, moist weather and are killed by hot, dry weather, hence the great benefit to the bops in the killing of the lice. The reports fros the hopyards indicate a great improvement ia conditions and prospects. The bop louse continues to be very unmerons, but at pres ent no wholesale destruction ia imminent; bnt on tbe other hand, hoprrowers are ex pecting a crop greatly ia excess of the total product of 18tM, end folly as large as the largest output heretofore made. The harvesting of fall and winter sown wbest continues. Thrmbing has commenc ed in some localities. The excellent reports heretofore made concerning the fall and winter sown grain continue; tbe yield, where threshed, is fully an average one. and the berry is very plamp and heavy. Oats is a heavy crop, also. The warm weather is ripening spring wheat and oats vary rapidly, and they offer prospects far excellent returns. Peaches are ripening rapldlr.a heavy crop is reported from all sections. Shipments of pples, pears, and plums continue. Tbe fruit crop is one of the (arrest ever bad in tbe State. Garden produce is doiag well nd is very plentifaL Corn and late pota toes would bs benefited by rain likewise, late or tbe second hay crop. The potato crop is a very beavy one. Tbe current weather is favorable to every thing, and is in keeping with theeoodltions which have made such bounteous erop possible. BreaslfBlIf N.rvaw.

Having stood fur quit a while on the gold basis w propose (with the sanction of Tas Mist) to adopt ths free silver, for, at least, one week, Mrs. George Driver and ber sister. Miss Tills Cheldelln, hav returned to Portland to spend the winter. Mrs. Taylor, of Vancouver, Wash., is spending a few weeks with her mother, Mrs. It. P. Smith, of Rock creek. Mr. and sirs. Abel Bred, who have re sided tor the last eight years near Keasey, are now visiting their daughter, Mrs. T. J. Brown, at Forest Grave. Mr. Rued has been needing medical treatment for a long time, and it Is said that it will be necessary for him to remain where he can have the altentioa of a physician. Oraln cutting has begun along Bock creek aad Nehalem, and a bountiful har vest ts reported by most farmers. Although Clondyk is engaging the at tention of very many people, yet there are a few that are Interested in the gold mines of Upper Bock creek so much se that a small party consisting of Mrs. Frank!, Misses Keasey and Detrkk, Birs C. C. and Dow Keasey, equipped with camping outfit, wended their way down into ravines and np steep hills sometimes on foot and again on horseback about twelve mile to tbe mines on Rook creek. To the ladles It was truly a novel exper. fence, but Mr. Dow Keasey declares most ungallantly that he will never go camping again with a lot of women. ' They are too much trouble." He says "they called htm back from the land of dreams regularly every three-quarters of aa hour to renew the fire, fearing the wild beasts might at tack them, and they are too slow anyway." Don't call on him, girls, when you want te go camping. Several fine views were taken on the excursion by Mrs. Frank) with her kodak. Songs from the attendants at camp meet ing will resound through th groves of Rock creek by the time tbis In print, and thensxtin order will be the outgoing of most of the people, young snd old, to ths hop fields In Willamette valley unless, per chance, some ef the camp meeting ser mons arouse the hop pickers to a change of purpose.
