OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
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.

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,

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

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

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."
