The Wilton Uw iu not a suo- cel in retting hold of the market of ths world. Wheat and otter grains, hay, lum ber, fith, hops, and guld, in great qoantitiM and perfection, make Ore gon about the richest and moat re- sourceiui state in uat Union, in pro portion to ita population. Proapehty cant be kept down long in iuch a state, v-" Easterk Oregon and Washington towns are aaid to be overrun with lusty hoboe who refuse to work for 11.60 or $2.00 per day. They deserve severe treatment. No mercy should be ahown to tuoh cattle. There is no excuse for a stout, healthy man to either beg or steal now, at least in that portion of the country. Portland Sun day Welcome. It 50,000 people spend $1000 each to go te the Klondike region, the ag gregate will be fifty million dollars, which, in all probability, is two or three or possibly five times as much a the same men will bring back. This is usually the case; more money is spent in searching for gold lhan is made. Yet it is not money wasted What one loses another makes, and it is kept in circulation. Ths Tribune calls for three cheers for McKinley. What the devil do you want to cheer McKinley fort What has be done? Do -you think McKinley is ' responsible for six-bit Wheatf" Pendleton Herald. Why not, neighbor; you said last fall that Mark Hanna was responsible for the rise in wheat, and if so, why could not McEinley do the same thing nowT Can't you be a little consistent in these matters? The professional calamity howler is kept busy these days explaining that the high price for wheat is not due to the ejection of McKinley or the main tenance or the gold standard, but is entirely owing to the short crops in Europe. We have not beard of any shortage in the European crop of cattle or bogs or wool or hay or corn, and yet the price of all these products is much higher than what it was one year ago.' : A gmtlSuab tells u that he does not understand how the advance in wheat, which only a tenth or a fifteenth of the people produce, but which all of the people have to buy in the shape of flour, is such a great benefit to the country as the papers say it is. It has been found by the experience of years that anything which helps the farmers, helps the country as a whole. The prosperity that the advance in prices of agricultural products which advance covers many articles betide wheat brings to the farmers will quickly diffuse itself throughout the entire community, and, directly or in directly, benefit majority of the peo ple. The farmer has bad a hard time, harder even than the average wage- worker, in the past four or five years, and the whole country ought to re joice in his present good fortune. Those persons who, only a few months ago, contended that the low prices for all commodities wss due to the lack of sufficient money- with which to transsct the business of the country, and therefore an increased volume of money through the free coinage of silver, was necessary before a revival of business could be expected, ought now to see the fallacy of their theory. Tax Mist has contended all along that there was sufficient meney in existence and that it would seek in vestment as soon as business confi dence was restored sufficient to insure safs returns in meney as good as that invested. That business confidence has been brought about, not through the free coinage of silver, but on the contrary, through the restoration of the republican party to power. There teems to be plenty of money in ex istence to double the amount of busi ness that was transacted ons ysar ago, and there are millions of dollars yet unemployed. As has been asserted many times in these columns, popu list theories explode themselves in due time. Ths Omaha correspondent of the Chicago Record writes that paper as follows; "One of the most potent in fluences working for the restoration of prosperity in the farming districts of the West is the great advance in live- stock values as compared with last sessen. A year ago farmers and stock growers in Nebraska were complain ing that their live stock was telling so low that there was no profit in ths business, and in many instances both cattle and hogs were fed at a loss. No bare atattment of tht faot can convey anything like a correct idea of what this advance meant to the farmers and stock growers of the West, end it is only when the aotual figures are com pared that the real situation become apparent." Ths same correspondent also states: "Money has not been so plentiful in Nebraska for ten years as it is now, as a result of good prices and an inoreased demand for slock of all kinds, and of grain also, all of which this state is a large producer." Thus it will be seen that the general drift of prosperity is striking the farming dis tricts first, which means that the busi nets revival will affect all branches of industry almost simultaneously. ASX BASVST ABOUT IT. "Whsl a spectacle this scramble for federal office, this levee held at Port land by dispensers of party swill, this push of snouts lot places at the public trough, thia virtual auction tale, bsld openly and without shame for days past what a spectacle it is!" Ore gonian. The sbove is what might have been expected to emanate from a mind so depraved, so vicious in its treatment of civil conditions, from a human be ing so dsvoid of conscience, as ths product of Gales creek pastures who now writes slush for the Oregonian The publie had no right to expect anything different from the agency which has done more to corrupt sad debauch state, county, precinct and ward politics in Oregon than all other influences combined. "This virtual auction sale, held openly and without shame," indeed. The editor of the Oregonian knows all about "auction sales." He took part in one of great magnitude at Salem last winter, and is still championing the cause of the successful bidder, who poluted the very air about Portland and Salem and distributed his stench at the way stations between. The first cry of the guilty is "stop thief in order to escape suspicion. The editor of the Oregon ian was once identified with the "nmilM Innlrinv fne "mrtr . aarill ?" he partook of the "swill," but only held the position a short time for reasons well known to bimselL At any rate his services were not desired longer. If the gentlemen who have visited Portland lately are not objectionable characters (except te the Oregonian) and psy their bills, who has ths right to say whether or not they may visit that city? Does the great and only paper sit in judgment as to who may and who may not visit Portland? He whose damning influence is and has been ever exerted to blight the fair name of the state and its principal city now seeks to besmirch the char acter of the very men who have built up his infamous sheet and contribute annually to its support. But things like this "cut bo ice" with a being who has been a creature of depravity through all the stsges ot life, from his youth to the present HERB AND TBUDRKL Wheat at $1 a bushel it not sn un due reward for the farmer, and it will probably not fall again to the low rec ord of the past few years. Senator Gorman's straddling plat form teems to please nobody in Mary land. Dollar wheat and a 40 cent dol lar refuse to travel in the same team. Bryan has dropped that absurd querry, "Have yon seen Oen. Pro par ity T" Prosperity is a dsngsrous topic for a man in the calamity business to toucn just now. A $1200 farm has been paid for sn tirely in hen's eggs. The hens of this country produce a cash article, and they go right along through bard times witn a song of triumph instead 01 a calamity wail. . Senator Jones, of Arksasas, says that if Bryan bad been elected wheat would hays been twice at high at it is now. But the senator dodges the fact that wheat is four times ss high a be said it could be under the gold stsnd ard. He avoids the certainty to make a conjecture. ....... y There will be a light crop in Oregon next year. We have no license for making crop forecasts, but present in dication point that way. We will probably have as much grain and fruit, hay and spuds, and just a good prices as now prevail, but the crop of populists will be extremely short so much so that the crop will all be' bar vested by the early part of Jane.

Wm 1-ork Were tint Im4 The introduction of forks must have teemed a great innovation to persona Who had been accustomed to eating with their fing-ers. A lady who saw forks used for the first time at a din ner of Henry HI of France records her "impressions' of the occasion. Henry had in 1574 been tendered magnificent reception in Venice. At this entertainment forks were used. The royal truest observed them with much interest and Immediately in troduced them to the French court. It seems from the account of the lady, who had never used them be fore, that some other were in the tame predicament. She writes They never touched tne meat witn their fingers, but with forks, which they carried to their mouths, bend ing their necka and bodies over their plates. There were several salads. These they ate with forks, for it is not con sidered proper to touch the food with the fingers. However difficult it may be to manage it, it is thought better to put the little forked instrument in the mouth than the ringers. Then artichokes, asparagus, peas and beans were brought. It was a pleasure to watch them try to eat these with their forks, for some who were less adroit than the others dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to (ret to their mouths. Afterward a great silver basin and pitcher of water were brought, and the guests washed their hands, though it seems as if there would not be much scent of meat and grease on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked instru ments. TkaliiluMttirHUM. We are accustomed to seeing fash ion represented ss an erratic dame that influences women to go to un told depths of extravagance and thus drive men to drink or bank ruptcy. But there is the reverse of the medal, or "another side of the question," as we are fond of saying, and this view of Dame Fashion de picts her as a philanthropist of the deepest dye, whose exertions extend in every direction and affect all of the civilized nations of the globe. The caprices and changes of fash ion are many, but they are never en tirely unheralded. The manufac turer, importer and retailer have warnings from time to time of what it coming. It may be as a rumor coming as a hint thrown out by some great authority on women's dress or simply floating in the air, elusive, it is true, but sufficiently tangible to convey an idea to the anxious man ufacturer or merchant. The changes come gradually and give all interest ed a chance to save themselves. T be sure, every season sees some me teorlike fancy spring np unawares, but it soon disappears, and, like a fall ing star, is "out of sight and out of mind." Fashion gives employment to millions of people, and were all styles in fabrics to remain the same for three years it is estimated that more suffering from want would re sult than from a European war Dry Goods Economist " The Bt Chan nrn In what part of the world is chess most honored? Before the close of the last century the best players were of the Latin race Italians, Portu guese and Spaniards. Their names were Greco, Luoena, Salvio, Carrera, Domiana and Lopez. Libraries are crowded with the works of these men on chess or with the translations of their books. After having held the chess scepter for several centuries, the glory of the Latin race has departed. It does not look today as if the Latins would ever wrest victory from their conquerors. The great players, who are Germans, Slavs or Anglo-Saxons, have left us far in the rear. The Jews are the great players. I have had a list made out of the t great chess players of the world, and 18 of these are Jews. Some are from Poland, others from Hungary. All the great Jewish chest player are ' 'professional.

The multiple fork has graduallr encroached upon the spoon's domain, till even the various grains and vegetables of the more elusive sort, which were once wont to occupy exclusive little dishes and have a teaspoon apiece, are now amalgamated with the rest of the dinner and disposed of as best one may with a four lined implement For the present teaspoons are still permitted for stirring and sipping beverages without incurring the odium of greenness and Tulgarity.
