PAXTON.... Multnomah County There are sixty different tribeB in the Philippines and the anti-expansionists demand that they all be turned over to Aguinaldo. Bryan sees danger in our Na tional prosperity, and those wishing to do him justice must admit that, .should his opinions prevail, such a jsource of danger would be speedily removed. It is remarkable how the leaders of the Democratic party, while eated at home or in committee, can give advice as to the conduct tf the war and criticise the work of tboee who go to the front and carry -the flap to victory. In one breath the Democratic orator will assure bis hearers that McKinley has no backbone, that he it a creature controlled by thoBe round him, and with the : next breath will accuse him of shaking the Republic to pieces in order to erect a throne on the ruins thereof. The Democratic press is telling the people that the McKinley pros perity is only skin deep. Perhaps tbey are right, but there is no ques tion about the Cleveland adversity Slaving reached to the joints and .marrow of the body politic. Skin sleep Republican prosperity is a thousand-fold better than bone deep Democratic hard times. Fishermen, miners and wood men, farmers and mechanics, all were prosperous to a remarkable de cree in 1899. In that year the ex ports of fisheries increased $1,000, 000 in round numbers. Mining and forestry products went over the pre Tious year's phenominal record near ly $10,000,000 each. Agriculture ent to other countries more than 50,000,000 more goods than in 1898 and manufacturers were exported to the remarkable amount of over 100,000,000 over the greatest pre vious year. And yet we are told by liired claquers and curbBtone bank ers that Republican methods are Jliining the country. The Democrats favor a stable government for, the Philippines. . "The Sultan of Turkey has a Btable government, the Czar Of Russia has stable government, China has had stable government for twenty cen turies, which kind does it favor? Hot a single Spanish colony' that ver threw off the Spanish , yoke ever possessed a stable government within fifty years after declaring in dependence. The Philippines to day would have a peaceable and just government were it not for the encouragement afforded to the in surgents by the hostility here in the States to the efforts of the array to conquer rebellion. Gorman has announced that' he . will take no part in the campaign, ind thirty or more Demooratio newspapers of Minnesota have come out against Bryan, These are straws favoring MoKinley's chances.. They indicate that Maryland may possi bly go Republican and; that the German larmers of the nor hwest are not aB soared over "militarism" as haB been supposed. Inoidents of this sott may be given exagger ated importance, usually are, in fact, by Republican papers, but it is probably safe to regard them as trustworthy signs of the trend of opinion away from Bryan. Ore gonian. ! : An ex-Rebel soldier, who was in Medford Sunday, was asked how he intended to vote at the comiug No vember election. His reply was that he had a son now in the army in the Philippines and that he had reversed the order of "like father; like son," and that this fall it would be "like son; like father." "My son," says he, "knows the situation better than I do. He says vote Mo Kiriley and it's McKinley I'm go ing to vote. The boys who are do ing the fighting know the lay of the ground better than we do at home and I'm with 'em every time. My son eays Old Glory floats gal lantly over the islands and ne lor one and all the boys are of the same mind don't want to Bee it taken down." HARD HITS AT BRYAN. From the Chicago Tlmea-Hrsld. Mr. Bryan is peculiarly unfortu nate in having two weekly papers, suoh as J. Sterling Morion's Con servative and Sarah B. Harris' Courier in his home state, the one at Nebraska City and the other at Lincola. Mr. Morton's saying that "Bryan's mint is bis mouth" haB made such a hit that it would take a six months' campaign of silence on Mr. Bryan's part to counteract its effect. Now comes Miss Harris in the Courier, which is the organ of the Nebraska State Federation of Wom en's Clubs', and punctures Mr. Bry an's tiresome reiteration about the consent of the governed with the truism that "this Government ex ists by the consent of less than one fifth of the governed." And then Miss Harris proceeds to shake the idiocy out of Mr. Bryan's "imperial ism" bugaboo with this pregnant paragrapb : "If Admiral Dewey had Bailed out of Manila Bay after destroying the Spanish ships he would have done what the anti-imperialists now say thiB Government should have or dered bim to do. Then th ere would have been an Oriental slaughter of Spanish residents, combatants and noncombatants, and the United States would have been the mock of history. When our Government is destroyed either anarchy or another government will take its place. Had Admiral Dewey left the peaceful residents of Luzon to the Oriental cruelty of Aguinaldo and his follow ers, Mr. Bryan might have brought an unanswerable indictment aguinet President McKinley's administra tion." This is the unswervable reason ing of every well-poised American mind. . The United States could not strike the responsibility forced upon it by the destruction of Spanish au thority in the Philippines. : The issue as joined by Mr. Bry an's speech and the Republican platform is : Shall we have responsibility for the Philippines without authority or with authority? ' , Bryan's policy of a protectorate is a' conception and confession of childish impotence. L. M. Lyon reports the arrival of a new girl baby at bis farm home on August J8th. C. A. Beaver has The Mail's thanks for a basket of very line Hun garian prunes--big delicious fellows just like a great many more which Mr. B. is now marketing. Death of Ireniis Soule. Prom the Yroka Journal. Irenus Soule, of Little Shasta, aged nearly 25 years, died rather suddenly yesterday, while being conveyed to his home from Antelope in Butto Creek valley, where ue bad been camping out In company with his wife and others of Little Shasta. He died on the road near Hart's residence, about Ave miles from his home, and has been in falling health for some time past from stomach trouble. Deceased was a native of Lit tle Shasta, and married a daughter of Ex-Senator S. H. Holt, of Ashland, Or., about nine months ago. The many friends of the bereaved young widow and relatives of tho family sincerely sympathize with them in their sad and untimely loss of a worthy husband, son and exemplary citizen highly respected of an, , OREGON APPLES IN SHANGHAI. U. S. Consul li. B. Miller Writes of Possibilities of Oregon Fruit V In the Orient. . Pram the PorUsnd Telegram. i Apples sell in Shanghai for $7 per box, silver, or $3.f0 gold. Oro gon apples would find ready mar ket thoro and Counsel II. B. Miller, in writing to Colonel Dosch, says Oregon apples ought to get in the swim. Several other interesting notes are contained in Mr. Miller's letter, as follows: "Yakima apples come in here every your and sell for $7 silver por box, or 13.50. gold. A good market could be had here for the Oregon apples if they could bo sold for i'2 a box. I see no reaBon why the line of steamers out of Port land could not take up the matter and make business. Several varie ties of Oregon apples should do well here. "There are a great many wealthy Chinese living here, and they eat apples and like them, and I am convinced that a good apple mar ket can be mado if reasonable freight rates can be scoured. All apples shipped here should be care fully selected, perfectly sound, well wrapped and nicoly boxed. I hope some one in Oregon will tako up this question and secure the trade. "This is a wealthy and prosper ous city and is going to bo one of the great cities of the world. Ore gon can sell it flour, lumber and fruit. If the prune organization succeeds it should send a repre sentative to all the principal cities this side of the Pacific. "Peaches are grown hore plenti fully and they are fairly good, al though they are not so large and fine as the Oregon peaches. They grow a peach here that is flat, two and a-half to three inches in diameter, by one inch thick. It is rather sweeter than the common peach and I am inclined to think it would be an excellent peach to glow in Southern Oregon, or possi bly in the Williamctte Valley. I would like for you to secure some grafts and have them tried. The peach trees I have seen so far look very healthy and vigorous. The country about here is no doubt a very fine peach country and I be lieve would produce a very fine French prune, but it is too hot for the Italian or Oregon. Japan might grow the Oregon prune if they had any soil; but from what I saw it,it was too rocky. They act tually grow good vegetables on Bix inches of soil in solid rock. It re quires water, fertilizers and much work. "The fearful stuggle for life on the farms of Japan is truly pitiful. I question whether there is another race of people on the face of the earth living so woll under such poor conditions. They cultivate the rocks and make them sustain life. "If the marvelous natural condi tions of the Philippines could be combined with the industry, energy, skill and patriotism of the Japan ese the wealth of the world would be theirs. There are too many people in Japan and nature is forced to its limit to give them a poor'life at best." The letter expresses ideas in line with the views of Colonel Dosch, who has been trying to work up a market in the Orfent for Oregon produce, especially fruit. With that object in view he wrote to the United States consuls in China last year and received much valuable information which was imparted to fruit growers and shippers through the "Telegram." He has tried to get shippers to take hold and succeeded in having Bent one shipment of fruit. , , Cord Wood Wanted. Fir cord wood wanted at tho Medford water works. J. W. Lawton, Recorder. .
