Mr. "Alfred R. Wallaee, the di
UnguinhtHl scientific writer mul
thinker, Is much coiicwmhI tw
cause, m he thinks, modern Hoelety
U being chiefly recruited from the
ranks of Id leas worthy memliers,
ud auggwto u a remedy an econo
mically reformed society something
like Edward Bellamy' dream of
social regeneration. The trouble
with Mr. Bellamy's HK'-Inlintlo
theory Is that it U ouly a dream,
and a very incoherent dream with
out the substratum of a single
practical Idea to build upon. Any
one knows this, or ought to know
it, who lias carefully read his IhhU,
"Looktng Ita'award," and Mr.
Wallace materially weakens his
argnment by giving credieuce to
Bellamy's socialistic vagaries.
Prof. W, J. You minis, the talent
ed editor of tho popular Bieuee
Moutlily, discus the subject from
a far more practical standpoint, in
our opinion, than doe the learned
English scientist. Mr. Youiuaus,
ays:

Gen. Booth, leader of the S.ilvu
tion army, him written a lmok,
DarkcHt England and the Wav
Out." The indellttigable genen
has been among the slums of Lon
don aud seen the poor of that great
city la all their miserable squalor,
filth and ram. Ills book is a reve
lation to the aristocratic pride an
.wealth of the world's metropolis,
and my lords and dukes and "blue
bloods" of England geucrally are
sending in their checks for f 100
and $500 each to the Salvation
army leader. Mr. Booth proposes
going among the slums of the great
city and preaching the goKiMtl of
sanitation cleaulimsw, better food
water and raiment. A irnisil
humanitarian Idea, but noble and
philanthropic as the movement is
it needs be supplemented by wisor
and better methods than mere alms
glTlng and temporary relief of t he
poor. "In Darkest England and
the Way Out" is a problem which
will not be solved in this century
Its solution means the gradual up
lifting of the social aud economic
conditions which have producct.
the present poverity, and it will re
quire long and laborious years of
moral, social and educational re
generation to reclaim the physically
and mentally incapacitated
London's mighty army of dwnrfei
and impoverished humanity.
A correspondent In this week's
paper calls attention to a threat
ened danger to the future piwtier
Ity of fruit culture in this country.
The point raised Is evldeutly of
some importance, at least nursery
men would do well to give the sub
ject some thought uml attention.
The theory which our eorrwpon
dent advance Is plausible, vixt
That by eontiutml grafting from
non-lienring fruit trees the repro
ductive principle will gradually
die out etc. Tho thought Is a
good one, and ae should lie pleas
ed to hear from other persons who
have had largo exjKrlenee in the
businoss. "A Fruit Culturist" is
an Intelligent and well known far
mer of Polk county who has glveu
considerable atteul ion to the subject
which he discusses.
The West Shore is making
brilliant cartoon fight against the
deduction for indebtedness and
mortgage tax laws. Last week's
issue of that journal has a comical
caricature which represents thwc
old worn out, betattercd laws as
mutually belaboring each other,
while capital walks away uninjured
with a broad grin upon its conn
tenance. The fight is on, and the
next ninety days will decide the
battle here in Oregon. It is, ns
some of onr exchanges tersely put
it, new Oregon vs. old Oregon.
That is to say, it is the progressive,
wide-awake, public spirited and
enterprising citizen of today
against the conservative, go-easy,
let-well-enough alone and sleepy
individual who is afraid to leave
the old tow-path and venture out
upon the broad and free prairies.
Mr. E. C. Pentland is writing
some interesting editorial letters
from the Pugct Sound country to
this paper. lie is thoroughly alive
on the taxation, mortgage tax and
usury laws of Oregon, alive to their
modification or repeal, and as he
discusses the) question quite intelli
gently we call the attention of our
readers to his articles. The tax
ation question is up for discussion
in this state, and like Banquo's
ghost, it wont down. An intelli
gent and critical discussion of the
aubject, in the light of facts and ev
idence, is the only way to properly
ettle it ' ' i ,
The Japanese are a highly imi
tatlv ami rather progressive nuv.
More than any other Mongolian
people they are learning to assimi
late the spirit of modern eivllUa
tion. Not only the religious, phil
osophicid and scieutillo ideas of
the western world are getting a
solid foothold in the Mikado's em
pins but western political Ideas
art) also liciug established among
tho people. Japan's first parlia
ment was 0Hncd in Novemls-r. It
has !UH) memlicitt. One hundred
and niue of these belong to the tip
per classes, while the remainder
represent the couiinou jioople.
Pralt Cullur In Orvgun,
To Tti ElmK: U is thought l)
msny persons that the soil uiJ climate of
Wvslrru Oreiiou are not surpAssed by
any other fcsality for horticultural pur
poses, ami iwrecially tor fruit adapted
to a northern climate. When we ses the
old apple tree loaded to Its nliuimt espao
It with perfectly moulded and delieioits
fruit, yl with trunk slid limbs Cohered
with moss, sod many of the brunches
in a dead or decaying eouiiilion, are
surprised to uote Its power ot repnnluo
tion. Evldeutly the frut Is s ttatuisl pro
doetion, but, sppareutly, from some un
known enuae, the tree is a poor rustler to
produce vitality eoudiiclvs to longevity.
This H unfortunate aa its truit is not only
a luxury but a uecexmty aliieh I sonti
for by both Ihs rich and iiht. It Is
thought (list lbs cnlnm of its wesknesa M
largely sttrilmtttlile to nature. If tl
OJiuecno be fully established and areim-
dy applied ttist will restorv a vitality k
lbs tree which it poseftm-Nt tu many otbt
ItH'alities, lbs horttculturslints of Oregon
cau uot over estimate the future value of
fruit raiting.
There are iudtestiu'ui Ih il tins brtu.cti
of iiiiiiutry will in lbs near future in
second to nous lu llim eoiiulr;, sud ns It
is now corupurutivuly in ill ilitaucy, but
little thoiiiibt lias been mien to Hie net-
Hary ruethoda to scurs tb heat remilU
Under our present sslem if we fail U
secure the desired results, either tbroutlt
usttligeiiee, cipenmciiting or any olhei
euuae, we have an opportunity to restorr
our losses the following sesou, whirl)
canoot toaoessily doneby the rrospeetivr
fruit growers, It la a branch of indiisti)
that requires critical inveslitiRtion Mart
auccewifuHy engnging in it ou an extra
sive seals.
Hums (nuts are better adapted to thr
soil sod climate of this valley limn others
Indued, we bavs several different kinds
ot soil each of which is specially adupted
to certain varieties of fruit etc. This fact
ihonld receive due attention. There is
an axiom that "'ike will prodnoe like.'
This is a law of nature, and as man cm
not successfully resist its jnlluence, ti t
fruit grower of the future will bear this
law in mind aud duly estimate its value
Tho cat u ul observer will readily adraii
that if we desire to produce the peacb
tree of its kind must be planted, aud the
same in regard to otbf fruits.
Willi many persons it is considered thai
their work is dime, so for us selective re
production is oonceriiej, alien they hate
onon plnuted a la rue variety of trees
Hut it bus bt'i o proven from careful ob
servation that trri s of the snme variety
do not always prodnoo alike even when
all the surrounding ore apparently the
same. 1 bis fiint can not lie traced to
any other ciiubu thuu nature's law whii b
proclaim that ''like will produce like."
Uow in this? Well, I cnu only offer the
followum solution of the problem: When
nurserymen una oiittmus, as they invari
ably do, from non bearing trees the (Irs
set lies a teodoncy to weaken the produc
tive vitality of the tree, and if persisted
n will produce mm bearing, worthies
trees, and tae tamo theory holds good lit
regard to quality of the fruit. This is
what I mean, the danger I hint at, when
I any that at the present time ''we have
an opportunity to restore our louses the
following luaion, which can not be s
easily done hy thn prospective fruit
grower." A Fiikit Uultdriht.
