Orkqox is pretty good state after all. One of the beet In the Union in fact Ocb correspondent from Sheri dan, has an interesting letter this week on a possible division af Polk and Yamhill counties. ' Tub columns or this paper art open to receive nominations, by our readers, for democratic, popu list, and republican governors of Oregon. Drop us a postal card and name your candidate. ID ji . With the returns of confidence, and an easy mouey market, the building of a railroad to Salem will be taken op again, and in the fu ture it will surely be extended to Falls City or else np Into Kings' Valley. Oregon will soon have several dozen apples at the World's fair that will be ahead of anything in the United Btates, measuring over 15 inches in circumference. Most of them were raised near The Dalles in T asco county. The La Grande Chrouicle, of the 20th, printed an Immigration edition of ten pages, with several fine illustrations of buildiogs in that city and vicinity, it was a very creditable number, and will be a good advertisement for La Grande. These are some elections in the United States next mouth, and we may hear of some states giving a slightlyf increased republican vote over hist election. Of course if the people enjoy the present prosper oust times, they will vote for more such years of prosperity. "Good money" and "good wages" left us, it seems, with the beginning of the vear. and we shall see what the people think about it. OVER at Dallas is a board ol county commissioners composed of three democrats. One of those was lenfced directlv and alone by the efforts of the West Side, and yet not one favor has ever been shown this naner bv that court Over one hundred dollars a month is ex pended by that court in job work etc, for the county, and the paper At. Tnifammdence. has never had even a small division of the patron see, although it was often solicited, The txyrole of this part of Polk county helped elect that county court, and the West Side worked hard, under both proprietors to elect them, and yet has never been even treated fairlv in the allownient ol hntdnesa. Can the county court give any good reason for such sec tinnal feline-, if it is sectional; or political, if it is political; or where it saves the county one dollar in ex npnuwf Stranerer still is the fad that this paper opposed the elec tion ofT. O. Hutchison, because he was on the republican ticket and it democratic, and yet he seuds it Mil nr t.hrfifl notices, ecuallv with the other papers, three or four times a year. We are grateful to Supt Hutchison for the favors. w wnnld like to sav the same of the county court THE EDITORS. taut, week the Oregon Press Association met in Portland. Id spite of the hard times Portland generously welcomed them, and Portland has been honored more than the editors. At the business meetings were a handful of thirty or forty. A few editors, and sev eral representatives ot the press came over from Washington, alto nnthop fhrtv-four. and yet at the excursion to Hood Kiver there were 125 editors, and at the ban quet at the Hotel Portland nearly 200 editors. When it came to at "tending the Presbyterian church Sunday night, an invitation having been extended, we think twenty will cover the number who attend ed. No wonder the editors who propose to swoop down on a town are feared, for they are as vora cious as the silk worm, devouring everything in sight, and generally lust about as handsome. The lea sons have had their eftect however. This year the Oregon editors paid their own hotel expense. The people of rortlaud paid the expen se of the Washington visitor. Next year, if less juuketlng were tn order, the business meetings would be letter attended. Cour tesies shown the press are proper, but it is humiliating to think that we solicit such favors and give nothing in return of positive value. Forty editors proper, attended the meetings, but one hundred aud forty ate at the banquet The hangers on iu journalism are the oues who make our annual meet ings such a farce. Next year let uo badges be given those who do uot attend the meetings. The number of editors may be less, but the profession will be more hou ored. - ABOUT MKX1CO. ws have before us a newspaper only about one half of which we can read. It is called the Lower Californlan and is published at Eusenada, Lower California, Mexico. The editor is named Geo Box. It Is a four page paper, of five columns the length of those on the fourth page of this paper, and costs 13 a year. The front side has about four columns of news la English, the second page has an equal amount in Spanish and the balance is advertisements. Three dollars seems a high price for so small a nil per. but when we consider that silver is the basis of values in Mex loo, and a Mexican dollar is worth only about CO cents, it is seen that the price is really only 11.80 a year instead of three dollars. Now let as quote some other prices: Sugar, 20 wnts a pound (equal in our won ey (or gold) to 12 cents: coffee 40 cents a pound, tlour 1130 a ton wheat 93.00 a bushel: barley ftOa ton: potatoes L80 a bushel: bacou 35 cents a pound: eggs 50 cents a dozen: butter 62 ceuta a pound. chickens 91.00 each: The above prices seem very high aud yet when we consider that Uie mouey they use H the CO cent dollar, it will be seen it makes a vast difference. The postal rate of a letter to any part of Mexico is 2 centa, but out of Mexico It is 5 cents for a halfouuce. Mexico is directly south of Cat ifornia and hits all kinds of climates, from the tropical of the sua level to the winter of the elevated plains. it ns an area of 7 00,000 square miles or about 8 Orcgona, and population of about 10,000,000, less than one milliou of whom are white. Its chief executive lives it the capital, the city of Mexico, and is called President Diaz. The two political parties are the church (Catholic) and those opposed, and the latter now are in a majority. There are very few schools in Mex leo, and few churches outside of Catholic Wealth may bo gained iu Mexico, but the government is unstable, aud liable every few years or so to be overthrown. Ameri cans can sometimes get valuable concessions In Mexijo and there are cases where they have made millions of dollars, but it is a very uncertain business, as the govern meut cannot be trusted to entirely protect its residents. The masses of the people take life easy and are of an indolent disposition. If Mex ico were a part of the Uuited States and had a system of Irriga tion it would be equal to California in wealth. There are rich mines of cold, silver (more silver than gold) copper, tin, antimony etc., aud yet work ou many of these Is carried on by very imperfect methods. The writer has been chinking for some time that there are many impressive lessons in government to be learned from our neighbor Mexico. Ig.voka.nx'E has a great dear to do with the financial condition of the country at present. Said a reader of a populist paper : If you repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law we will have nothing but gold" Poor deluded mortal. We have $610,000,000, and more million dollars, of silver in coin ind bullion now and we will have that much then, and a full legal tendor too and exchangeable at will Into gold, Another said: The democratic or the republican party are juHt the same, they have all out money back there in Washington and will not let it go out among the people." When men expose such ignorance what may we expect of a senate which is catering to just such classes. Another, an ed itor of a populist paper at Seattle said money was entirely a creature of the law. It had no weight, no color, no intrinsic value etc., and that it should be made of the very cheapest materials, and since paper is the cheapest, it should be made of paper. "But in what would you redeom itl" is asked. ' f.- "Do not redeem it at all, make it by law money and the people must take it." "Can you make by law, a man part with gold or silver bullion, or with wheat or oats, or skill or labor for paper money!" "Certainly, the government is of the people, and the people must obey laws of their own making." The ful lac v of the above state- jment seems to us very plain, and yet there are many who cannot, or will not, see it. From the above the position of our finances appears plaiu enough The debtor class waut cheap mouey to pay their debts. The creditor class are going to get hold of all they possibly can of good mouey, aud then keep it until it wll pay to let the cheap money men pay a big premium to get It, for no just law iu the world can compel them to part with it against their will. No wouder times are hard aud unless onr people come to their senses ou financial questions, we have only seen the beginning of hard times. We believe Congress will do something soon. If not, no man can at present tell what the result will be when winter conies aud tbe poor cry for bread, aud become des perate. Good money benefit the poor mau more than poor money hurts the rich man. MOTH'K, All knowing Uietiiwlw. Indt'Mwl to A.
