Some silver rtpublioans ara try ing to popularize themselves under the misnomer of Lincoln republi : cans. " The story of a 10-pound eagle carrying off a 43-pound pig inexpli cably reminds us of William J. Bryan and the Democratic party. Ohi hopeful sign among our Fili . ftno brethren is the, clamor for schools and books. Over 140,000 , , worth of books have been distributed aa , Huon to the . new Asaerican achools, Education follows the flag.

It is positively safe to say they will not make a bed-fellow of the Aguinaldo party, which talks lor political effect only. Has anyone heard anything about free soup houses lately ? That is one industry that the Republican ad ministration has killed completely, hut you do not hear any of the Democratic organs commenting on the fact. What is the matter with . another four years of. Buch things? The proposition to divide Jackson County on the line between town ships 30 and 37, is a fake more pure and simple. If the present .population must struggle to meet the current expenses of the county organization, and pay the interest on the debt, another county carved out of it would cut but a Borry fig ure in trying to sustain itself. W. R. Hearst, publisher of the San Francisco Examiner and New York Journal, is spoken of as good ice president timber on the national Democratic ticket. Should he be so fortunate as to be nominated the blue and red of the American flag would need fixing to a bright yellow. Hearst has been running "yellow" journals so long that to him yellow has become the national color. April 1, 1896, when the Repub licans took hold of the finances of the country there were $1,528,629, 563 in circulation. April 1, 1897, showed $1,660,000,645 in the hands of the people. April 1, 1898, the circulation was $1,756,058,646. April 1, 1899, it had increased to $3 ,927,864,942, and on April 1, 1900. it stood at $2,021,254,506. Any Bryanite who can extract comfort from these figures is welcome to all he can get. . -: ' In the pajt third of a century the population of the United States lias doubled, but during the same lime the area devoted to wheat in Shis country has trebled. ' In that tune we have increased our produc tion of wheat twice as much rela- ' lively ' as we have increased our , population. It is impossible for this to ever happen again. : It is . not probable that from this time on the area devoted to wheat will in crease as rapidly as the population. This holds out a promise for a grad- : ual upward tendency in the price of wheat. A few years of dollar wheat, however, would run the pro- . duction of wheat in the United States up to a thousand million bu shels per year. Rural Northwest. It is gratifying to learn ; from Senator Simon that it is almost cer- tain the oanal bill will pass at the next session of congress. Since the commerce of the Pacific coast has assumed such proportions it has come to be a national necessity, and its construction cannot be long delayed without material injury to the business interests of both east and west. It is needless to attempt - to stay longer the western oourse of ommerce. The ' Pacifio ocean is dostined to be the greatest oommer oial body of water , in the world. Upon its broad bosom will be borne the produots and manufacture of every oiviliied nation. si' The' teem ing millions of the orient, now just awakening to the refinements and luxuries of the new world, with all its manufactures, inventions and labor saving devices, will oreate a demand which only' an : immense tonnage can supply. Unless the canal is built the east oannot Bhare in this world wide commerce exoept at great disadvantage. ; It IB the one internal improvement which seems indispensable and Bhould be oompleted with the least delay pos sible.' : ' 1 ''''' '' ' ' A New York state newspaper man, who has beeu fifty years in the harness, says :, .... , , ! . "The fifty years has been passed with a world of experience and the accumulation of two or three com fortable fortunes ; with ' many joys and very few sorrows; making many enemies and a legion of loving friends; if he had his life to go over again he would still be a printer the greatest and most useful calling." There is no questioning the world of experience. No newspaper man would dispute his word had be said several worlds, but the accumula tion of two or three comfortable fortunes is what staggers a fellow. The average man ot the newspaper herd is endeavoring to accumulate one fortune and in this nine-tenths of them have failed. The making of enemies is quite to be expected yes, and friends, too, A newspaper man will have them both, and in a ratio equal to his deserved merit. The Mail knows full well that the enemies it has made are as bitter as it were possible for them to be, and it knows, too, that its friends are the most loyal the kind of fel lows who forget a man's faults and remember only his good traits.' Yes, after twenty-three years in the har ness the conclusion reached is that we, too, would be a printer if we had to commence life over again. It must be discouraging to the calamity leaders who have been preaching untold disaster to the country for the past Beveral years, to witness the miserable failure of their predictions in the increased prosperity abroad in the land. The wails that went up from the alleged crime of '73, and the death and devastation to follow, with anarchy and bloodshed redhanded and un rebuked, failed to appear, and de moralization and danger have not stalked as devouring evils over the scattered wreck and ruin of general bankruptcy. But there is a greater and more alarming menace still confronting the country. Imperial ism is blooming like a deadly night shade all over the land. It is fos tered and protected in high places, and found flourishing on every highway and by way. It is as prolific and dangerous as the Canadian thistle and bids fair to overrun the country. , Who but the prophets of evil will throw themselves into the breach and stop this vicious growth? Who will stay the tide that sweeps on an on to the breakers of business and national destruction? - Nobody, alas! but the calamity prophet who is always a martyr to a good cause, but never wins, while the country moves along serenely as though he did not exist. And thus it will ever be. j .:: , t .i l-X' Bids Wanted.

Tnere is not the least doubt in the world but n m that Medford'will celebrate in a style grander : and more elaborate than ' any celebration ever " put up in the valley.' 'A program has been fpre- ' ' 1 ' pared that will astonish us all. The day will open with a salute to Old Glory so loud that the Filipinos in their distant land will enjoy it with us. : The timbers of Roxy Ann will be shivered, and these American citizens of s, ours on the Pacific coast and in our new eastern , .. possessions will rejoice that they' are American " ,, citizens and entitled to crack all the fire crackers -, i . they. have a mind to. f:'fi T Z.A ':'k HKT TdU'Ji There will be a short intermission following the earth quaking salute, in order that time may -! be given for the grand parade to form. , About the hour of ten the Medford band-nf- ll teen pieces will play music and the procession will begin its move, and the day's entertainment will begin its unraveling of scenes interesting " and pleasant to look upon.. The parade will be made up of . the Goddess of Liberty car, with Miss Lillian Barr as Goddess, followed by. the Angel of Peace, chariots, floats, the high school , band and John Hardin's callithumpians. , The committees in charge of the parade are putting forth every effort to make this the grandest exhi- , , bition ever presented on the streets of, Medford.!;:;1... At the grounds, near the school house, the ex ercises will take place. There will be opening r 1 music by the bands, oration by Hon. G. C. Brownell, the Declaration of Independence will be recited by Miss Mae Merriman. These exer- , ., cises will be interspersed with vocal music by ' j Medford's celebrated Choral Union, consisting of . fifty of our best gentleman and lady singers. : ; In the afternoon there will be a pulling con test, a tug of war, horse races, foot races, and several novelty races. ' : " :', ' .. t;:r":' A game of ball will be played by vEagle PoiDt . y. and Medford teams,' for a purse of $50.
