When Senator Maaon, of IUinoia, in traduced that resolution in the senate last week offering the sympathy of this nation to the Boers, he displayed pro found indiscreetness and -very poor judg ment. No matter what the individual idea may be or in what direction the individual sympathy may go out, this nation, by its congress, has no business to extend its sympathy either way. There are troubles of our own which overshadow any foreign difficulties at this time, and even though this were not true, the sympathy of the nation for either side has no right to be offered through resolution, or otherwise. The people of Columbia county will have a great deal to look back upon with fond remembrance of the year 1899 when it has passed to history. There have been no visits by devastating floods .or withering drouths; nothing of the kind has vteitcd our favored section to bring sorrow to the heart. With few exceptions all the products of the farm have brought remunerative prices. There has been and is remunerative employment for every class of labor and every class of our citizens have more money to spend for Christmas and New Year preparations than for many years past. The indebtedness of our people, both public and private, hat been very materially decreased, and the man who would have the temerity to assert that the people of Columbia county are not a happy and prosperous people, with grateful hearts as they cast a backward glance at the history of the past year, is either blind to the truth or else he wil fully perverts the facts. It is not reason to presume that the senate will give to Mr. Quay the seat claimed by him in that body. Mr. Corbett, of Portland, was refused a seat under exactly the same circumstances, end to ignore the precedent established and seat Mr. Quay would be an act of the most inconsistent nature. True enough , every state should have its full quota of representatives in congress, but when questionable methods are employed to put certain individuals in such places, the senate can best honor itself and the nation by promptly refusing to seat the would-be member. Through methods which are not in keeping with those of honesty, Quay secured the appointment. He held up the Pennsylvania legislature and secured the appointment at the hands of the governor, when it is the duty of the legislature to elect. Just so long as men can pursue such tactics and be successful in the outcome, just so certain will methods of that nature be employed in order to gain the honors of high office. The United States senate very promptly and very correctly re fused to seat Mr. Corbett, of Oregon, and it should, with the same prudence, care and caution, tell Mr. Quay to go home and there remain until such time as he can gain bis right to sit in that body by fair and honorable means. To tbe women of this nation is due to a very great extent the honor and credit for the so-far caused delay and the very probable exclusion of polygamist liob erts from a seat in the house of repre sentatives. Woman's influence in such matters is very great indeed. The pace was set and man dare not ignore it. The seat of euch influence is not diffi cult to understand. It is the fact of man's regard for the desires of the no bler sex because of their position in life. The tender care of home and loved ones most to be expected from the good woman, because she seeks to be a woman, not a man, will influence man for good more quickly than any other pressure. Man's disposition seems, by nature, quite indifferent to the many details which go to preserve the sanctity of the nation, and the appeal from good women and true, who are striving to properly perform their duties as wives and mothers, strikes the chord of sym pathy and arouses the sense of duty in their superiors in physique only. Wom an's sphere is to guard and protect the purity of not only the household, but of the nation, and when she strives to place herself on equality with man in a political sense and in ordinary every day life she loses his respect and is de prived of that wonderful influence over him which she wields only when in a woman's t-phere. The good women of this nation did the remonstrating against the polygamist not the bad. The influence was. great because it came from pure motives, and if the man from Utah is forbidden a seat in the halls of congress he can place tbe cause of Mb misfortune at the hands of the true j women of this country, not the men. Whbn the next cousin is taken It will be found that only one or two farm ers in a community will be able to give information that may bo desired. The farmer who is expected to state what he grew on his farm for ten years, with the number of animals fed, must be well informed regarding the work done by him. Unfortunately, but few farm ers keep books, aud they are compelled toguess or estimate instead of giving facta. Another difficulty is that many farmers die or sell their farnia during the ten years, hence no estimate of their operation can be' obtained. If some method could be devised by which farm ers could make an annual report to the State Hoard of Agriculture of each state it would be more reliable than taking a census, and comparisons could be made yearly instead of once in ten years. Profit should be the object in view at all times. No farmer should be satisfied to "simply got his money back," for, in addition to the cash out lay, the time given a crops cau never be regained. It is also proper to reduce the cost of a crop by cheapening ex penses, but it is not correct to attempt to cheapen the cost by using a smaller amount of fertiliser. Cheap crops also bring lower prices, because by not be stowing the necessary labor, and at the right time, there may be loss in quality as well as yield. Every crop grown should return a clear profit over the cost for labor, rent of land, deprecia tion of implements and plant food. This Oregoniau's exultation over its success in at last securing a congressi onal representation from this state w hich is entirely solid in its vote for sound currency is certainly excusable. Its laudation of the fact we are glad to see, and its commendation of Senator McBride for having the courage of his convictions to vote for a gold standard resolution in the Fifty-fifth congress against the combined vote of every mem ber from the Pacific slope, and one of the twenty-four votes in the national senate in, favor of the resolution, is nothing more than credit due that gentleman. The Oregon delegation is a unit in favor of the advancement of Pacific coast in terests, sound currency and the prosecu tion of a vigorous policy in dealing with the Philippine question. So far as the number extends the policies of the ad ministration will have no truer friends or firmer supporters than the four gen tlemen from Oregon. And true as it is, the Oregonian deserves a great deal of the credit for bringing about this condi tion of affairs through its unrelenting warfare against free silver and conse quent debased currency. Its campaign has been one of education for the people, the consequent result being, as the Ore gonian states it, a victory for it by hav ing the state represented in congress by men who vote the peoples' sentiments. Miteorolooical conditions this year offer a stronger argument in favor of planked roads than any condition of affairs or of the elements that has pre vailed in the past. From every quarter of this Northwest section comes the same wail of impassable roads. And how could the conditions be otherwise? Twelve months almost steady pour-down could not be expected to be of advan tage in road making except poor road making. There is but one way to over come the evil of impassable roads. That relief lies in planking or punch eoniug the thoroughfares. The cost at first will amount to a good deal, to be sure, bnt as it is the only means by which relief is to come what is the use of prolonging the undertaking? It will cost more twenty years from now to plauk the roads than it will at the present, and as good roads cannot be had without paying for them, aud pay ing well, the accepted time has pres ented itself. If we can raiBe 10,000 to be applied on roads next year by levy' ing a tax and changing methods of road work and collection of road funds, let's start the matter, and start it with a vim and determination to do something and do it well. Traveling our roads under present conditions is impossible and the most serious problem that con fronts our rural population. Tub "has been" is our very fatigue in time of trouble. He is an epitaph on the tombstone of buried success al ways bragging of what the corpse used to be; an old clock striking eternity for past time; a second-hand poultice hur rahing for its by-gone drawing qualities. The world pays homage to success. The tribunal of public opinion recognizes no extenuating circumstances. Success never tells why it succeeded. Explana tion is monopolized by failure. Tbe "has been" is a social soul. He is eter nally clouding somebody's sunshine with his vapors. Success and solitude know bim not. He has failed to build a home for himself, but he has erected an air castle for his imagination. He that builds a moderate amount of something has no time to construct a great deal of nothing. The practical man has no time for ideals. He is too wide-awake for day dreams ; sleeps to soundly for nightmares. His thoughts crawl to re alization; the "bag been's" fancies fly over it. Thk outcome of the contest in Ken tucky for gubernatorial honors between Ooebel and Taylor is certainly not with out reason or good judgment. The can vassing board had but the one accepted alternative, owing to overwhelming evidence in favor of Mr. Taylor, and like men of honor, they chose the right course and issued the certificate of elec tion to the one to whom it rightfully belonged. Taylor's majority was found to be over 2000. The small boy on a farm has a great future before him. His services and efforts are not highly appreciated by the older members of the family. As a rule he will wear out everything but the bar of soap, eat everything set before him except the dishes and cutlery, and then make frequent visits to tbe or- chard between meals. Ho is required to hold the baby half the time, build fires, carry water, mind gaps and gates, find fuel, run errands and keep em ployed doing odd jobs between meali when not in school. Hoys may be a trouble, but the trouble only begins when we have lost their help and the enjoyment of their mischievious pranks. To see mud balls sticking to the barn, bird bouses out everywhere, and whirli gigs galore, is but a straw Indicating what they may be taught if properly educated. Editorial comment on the subject of the following lines la unnecessary except to stiy that New England seems to be getting along fairly well under present aud prospective conditions: "The new wairo schedule, giving 75- 000 cotton mill employes m this and other New England cities a 10 per cent increase in wages, will go into effect to morrow. On lievombor 18th. an addi tional 00,000 mill employes will begin to receive a like advance in wages, aud before the first of the year, 10.500 others will have received the increase, lima, bv January 1. fully 145.600 New En gland mill employes will be receiving an average of pay equal to the previous high rate of IS0'2, when they wore paid the highest rate ot wages since the in ception ol the cotton industry." The lines above was a dispatch from Fall River, Mass., of December 10th New England mill employes will receive a valuable Christmas present. The leading democratic paper of the state asserts mat uovernor ueer stioum clear his skirts; that it is his duty tc the neoule of Oregon. What has Gov ernor Ueer done that he needs to clear his skirts? A few democratic papers have attempted to make a scandal, but it has been received so contemptuously by the people that no explanation from the governor is necessary. A sorehead from Polk county is given the credit or discredit, of claiming that he paid the governor 11000 for the promise of the position ot warden ot tne penitentiary, which Governor lieer failed to fulfill when elected. And because the gov ernor does not tremble and explain in verbose language, he is guilty of the villanous charge. Uli wen, this is poli tics aud one way to establish broad. democratic principles. The people of whose welfare the Herald is solicitous will only smile. Pendletou Tribune. Captain Georgo Shaver, who was in temporary command of the Bailey Oat rert recently, met with a very painful accident at Maygers' landing that inca pacitated him for work, lie assisted some ladies ashore there and in return ing to the boat, fell on the slip, severely straining the tendons of his leg. At first it was thought that the leg was broken, but the iujury is equally as great. He was taken to a hospital in Portland. The Portland Dispatch, the leading democratic paper in Oregon, has the following to say about fusion : It is announced that the 'free silver national republican committee has decided to call the national convention at the same time and place as the democratic na tional convention. The platform of the democrats is to be endorsed if it de clares in favor of free silver.' If the next national democratic convention is to be a triple-headed concern, and be dictated to bv every faction in the coun try, the result in November is easy to predict. The opposition to llanna-llc-Kinleyism cannot be united on a three legged stool with three platforms. There is no use to try this experiment again. Nor can the democratic party hold its own unity when it accepts and incorporates into its platform principles repugnant and anti-uemocratic. Those who are opposed to luctiinieyum on but one issue in 1900, and that one. while important, by no means the lead ing one at this time, should stay where they belong. The national democratic convention should adopt a platform to meet the' present leaea ana nominate Its candidates, and appeal to the good sense of the people to sustain tbeiu. There is no use in giving importance to every little clique or ring as representatives of a party. These freebooters represent themselves only and have no following. Those whom they profess to lead are and have long since been ready to traiu under the democratic banner. ' The lime for sideshows has passed, be it Palmers or Tom Watsons." Tell Your Mater.

Elsetrlolty on the Farm, . The electrto motor in country houses or on a farm may be used with a windmill, and the storage of power produced appliod to Bawing wood, chopping food and oountlotjs other outside purposes. Possibly bo fore long it will run the mowing ma chine and the cultivator and take the place of horses and many men.
