'" John G.AVooley, the Prohibition candidate for President, is not off ering to send his paper to campaign subscribers with the condition that it shall be paid for upon his election. While engaged in amending the Goebel election law the Democrats of Kentucky will commend the wise and patriotio course of the man who usurped the governorship under it. J' President Kruger's ill health will probably prevent him signing any articles of peace for another month or so. In the meantime General Buller "stands just where he stood." A Yakima man has applied for a patent for a car brake which be bel lieves would hav.e saved the lives lost at Tacoma, had his appliance been used. He has sent a model of his brake to the Tacoma Street Kail way Company, for trial. - Our people must now get into line and pull for an open river be tween here and at least Salem. A little concerted effort will do wond ers. There is no reason why freight must be sent out of its natural channel because of a few gravel bars in the river. The boats should be able to get here at all times of the year, and unless our people take de cisive action things will stay pretty much as they are. it David B. Hill said he would see Bryan in sheol before he would support him for the presidency. On the contrary, he saw htm in Lincoln the hame of the heaven-born ratio. r The London Spectator says in regard to the Chinese question that it must be radically settled and that "the solution will come best from the man and the country who are disinterested." The London journal refers to the United States. This country has already indicated that it thinks the territory of China should not be seized and that tho policy of the open door for all hould be maintained. it ' : ' ' The Ornponian on Mnnrlnv rn.i D j printed from an exchange an article on Chinese affairs from a news paper correspondent who evidently knew what he was talking about, as the following extract will show: Let us turn to China the oldest monarchy in existence today a country supposed by many good people to be an old-fashioned, empty bomb that various nations are now rolling around the map preparatory to shoving off the earth altogether. Some day they will touch the fuse. When they do the legend of the inquisitive youth and the buzz saw will cover the result. -, ' The coroner's jury which investi gated the cause of the street railway disaster of July 4, at Tacoma, has returned a verdict laying the bur den of the blame for the accident upon the Street Railway company, and mercilessly scoring that cor poration for its reprehensible man agement. The Power company is also found grossly and criminally careless for maintaining such a dan gerous grade without any safety appliances, and lastly is found "a general and reprehensible, lax and careless condition in the mainten ance of the track and equipment of said Tacoma Railway & Power company that should be corrected at once." It is the general opinion that this verdict is a strong founda tion for any quantity of immense damage suits on the': part of tho great number of injured and 'the friends and relatives of those killed if, the accident, WASUIXtiTOX LETTER. ' Washington, D. C, July 9. .Secretary Root, after conferring with General Mile and his fellow members of the cabinet has Issued the notary orders to start more than six thousand regular troops to the Philippines, ; the idea being to, stop them in China if they are needed there when they get that far ton their way.) jThere Is atil much doubt about the fate of for eigners in Pekin, one story follow ing and contradicting another sev eral times every da v. Owing to the time that would necessarily elapse before the other powers coul assemble an army on the coast ol China large enough to forcibly take possession of and hold Pekin ami other interior points, an agreement has been reached by the powers under which Japan will furnish as largo an army as may lie necessary and, go ahead and perform the task of punishing the outlaw Chinese element and restoring law and or dor, the other powers agreeing to pay Japan a cash indemnity, which Chtna will Iw made to repay later, There is quit a little rumpus among those who managed the re cent reception to the Boer envoy in Washington, and the collection at the reception, which was an nouneed to be for tho benefit of the widows and orphans of the Boer soldiers. $1,134 was collected stir posed ly for the widows and orphans but after paying for carriages, fire works, wines, etc, it seems that only $18 was left for the widow and orphans, and the contributors are some of them saying ugly things about those who collected and dis buned the money. General prosperity is reflected iu the business of the U. S. patent of tice, which was larger during the fiscal year just closed than ever be fore, the cash receipts having been II ,38,288.35, and the number o patents issued 2(5,5-10. Postmaster General Smith has received a unique invitation to at tend the second State Postmaster'i Convention, of Texas, to bo held at Dallas, July 19, 20. The invita lion is a mammoth affair in pam phlct form, and came to Washing ton in a big tin box. it was pre' sented to the Postmaster Genera by Mr. William Terrell, of the sixth auditor's office, whoso home is in San Antonio. . Mr. Smith has the invitation under consideration, al though it is doubtful whether ho can attend. The Sultan of Turkey has made another specifio promise to pay those American missionary claims, this time within ninety days. Sec retary Hay has decided that Minis ter Straus shall not return to Con stantinople until those claims are paid, and has instructed Mr. Ori com, who in in charge of the Anier ican legation in that city, to im press it upon the sultan's mind that the money must be paid with in the specified time. The Sultan wishes his pn mise kept secret, ow ing to numerous European claims of a similar nature, and this infor mation was not obtained from the department of state, but from those more directly interested in the pay ment of the claims. Japan is in a position to act promptly in China, and Bhould be allowed to do so under a guarantee that the Chinese territory occupied would not bo held. Before the Eu roi.can nations . and the United States can get enough troops on Chinese soil to do effective work, many lives of foreigners may be sacrificed Japan, if the other pow ers permit it to act, can capture Pekin long before the rest .of the nations could accomplish the ob ject. America is in favor of j giving a good deal of latitude to Japan in tin's matter of the pledge, which Japan is said to have given, that tho captured territory would be evacuated after order was restored. The concert can afford to take the American view of the Chinese issue in all its parts. . ' t The Salem Statesman's Bystand er is probably correct when he says that "The trail of tho serpent of the American Book Co. agents in Ore gon is already to b seen by the ob serving, preparatory to 'the contest that is to come off after (if not be fore) the appointment of the com missioners to select the text books for tho public schools of this state next year." This is tho meaning of attacks made in an underhanded and disguised way on the office of the superintendent , of public in struction. There will no doubt be various indirect methods employed from this time on to create pre judices and impressions calculated to further the designs of the agents of the big book concern in Oregon. The agents of this concern are by no means content, with the supply ing of all the books to the .schools of Oregon at contract prices that are probably remunerative. They want to fasten themselves with a stronger grip, and to dictate policies and control public men." riKIH EXPOSITION LETTER, mm out HinUr Oorrwptmdeirt, Park France, July 2. Life day by day In the Paris ex position 's not exciting or sensa tional, but it la full of Incident. 1 will give you a history of one day at. the exposition. I entered .the grounds about half past nine o'clock and crossing the Alma bridge, went into the first open building on tho right. It was tho Uiilding devoted to medical science, hygiene and sanitation. It was opened for the first time today. :t The displays of France are, of course, most con spicuous and in the vestibule there is a bust of M. lVtour and a statue of tho Goddess of Fame placing a wreath of laurel on his head. The room is fill'! with glass receptacle containing cultivated germ of many diseases: It is indeed a grue some spectacle, this Pandora's hall of Isolated deadly microbe, and one feels glad that they are In her metically sealed bottles and that the bottles are in carefully locked glass cases, and that these are sur rounded with all the sterilinlng paraphernalia and all the curative agencies known to the science. After Franco, tho German section may be seen, with a bust in broiue of Dr. Koch and models of sanitary institutions and hospitals. I had but half an hour for this building, in which one might wolt spend a week. 1'aking the electric car, I quickly reached the American printer's building, and engaged a stenographer by whose assistance I hope.to increase and improve my output. Then to tho car again, which landed mo about half a mile from the American section of agri culture and alimentation. It is not easy to find anything here; guides are few and ill-informed. There are wildernesses of exhibits and no landmarks, and unless you are careful not to turn around, you are as likely to bo walking away from your objective as toward it. I had been to this exhibit often before, but never from this direction, and I must have walked a mile and rot ten direction and misdirection from people of half a dozen nationalities before I found it. Then I discover ed that the gentlemen in charge, who had promised me certain data, were off on tho jury of awards. By this time it was one o'clock, and I left Paris and Franco for a half hour and crossed into Switzerland for luncheon. The Swiss village separated from the world's fair by the width of a street, is decidedly tho most genuine show In Paris. It is a section of Switzerland most cunningly transplanted in the roar ing hub-bub and fatiguing splendor of the exposition. High precipice shut out on all sides tho dazzling, noisy world you have left, and it is easy to imagine you are many miles away from Paris. A beautiful cas cade fulls from the mountain side It is real ws ter. It turns the whee ol an old mill and hows over stones and amid weeds and wild flowers through tho village. Chalets are on green patches above you and the perspective is so skillfully managed mat they appear to ho full size. Workmen are making actual hay in tho littlo valley to tho left; here are real cows and goats, a little church, and a dozen restaurants, all clean and picturesquo. Tho logs of which the houses are built have been taken from some old houses in Switzerland, fjr not the slightest detail is lacking in this most charm ing, homelike and restful ensemble. Of course, the juxtapoBition with tho roaring city and the exposition without, and tho psychological con trast greatly enhances the effect, but seriously, this Swiss village is about the only thing I want to tnke lomo. No photographs, or even paintings can do it justice, for every step through its winding streets brings to your view a new and charming perspective. So old, so rural, and restful is the fresh butter, bread and coffee, meat, vegetables, cheese and strawberries aro served by a girl in the costume of her can ton, and all for 80 cents. But I must leave this charming idyl and go to tho American corn kitchen, which is up three flights of stairs in a frame annex, the two lower floors of which are covered with McCor- mick's harvesters, Buckeye reapers and mowers, and other farming machinery of American make. The corn kitchen amusos me. It is such a serious fake. It is expensive, too, to our country, but "who cares for expenses"? It is tho only free lunch in France, for they do not do things that way here. Treating is un known, and this is wholesale treat ing. The French, male and female, regard it with suspicion and ap proach the lunch counter with fear. hey do this the first time, but bouleverse" by the novel exper ience of eating without being charged for the napkin, the sugar, the plate, the service, corn soup, corn fritters, corn cakes, and syrup, all in a long itemized bill, a la Francais, they come again and again until the managing Ameri can (who by the way is a born dip lomat and Hftks French) explains that the kitchen is not iutended for a regular and permanent free board ing house. Corn In any form is a somewhat heating diet, ai.d when a French woman after eating heartily of hot cakes and syrup asked for something to drink, tho good color ed woman from New Orleans, who stands behind the counter: and peaks. . French with the best of them, poured her a' glass of water. She tasted It ruder the impression that it was corn wine and said it bit her tongue. Some of her com panions then sipped the water and nil agreed that it had a curious tasto nnd hit their tongues. There was nothing peculiar about the water except that it was ieo cold. This story will appear improbable to the American cold water drink ers, but there is not a word of ex aggeration in it. A rural French man after his first corn meal said: "When I tell them at home I have eaten corn, they will not believe me; we food it only to beanta," Tho manager showed me a letter from a clubman at Lyons, which read : "Moneieuer Director, please send mo five or ten franca worth of comeakin, C. O. D.M The man ager replied that in order to be ap preciated, the corn cake must be served hot, and if he would do him the honor to call at the annex, in Paris, he would furnish them free. The greatest patroniigo of the corn bread kitchen comet from Ameri cans in Paris, who do not need con version. There are many fakes in Paris, but this is the most serio comieal and expensive of all of them. ' Tho fear of A general Euroiwan war has caused a drop in stocks in Berlin and in some of the other Old World centers. This fear, however, is unreasonoble. There will bo a war against the elements which are now at the front in China."- No good reason exists for any appre hension of a quarrel among the nations alxiut the disjtosition of things in China. The way to avoid a quarrel ia fir all the nations to agree to tho American policy of preserving tho status quo in China after putting some modern at the head of affairs in that empire, The New York stock and money market is not showing any dread of serious complication among the great powers on the Chinese question. The United States is easy on that score. Its intentions are humane and they will undoubtedly 'bo ac cepted in time by a majority of the other nations interested. The Chi nese trouble will not extend any farther than China, " ' Speaking of conditions in Manila under the American administration the British consul in that city says, "Improvements are visible in every direction and already tho town has quite a different appearanoo from last year. The work of draining tho filthy town ditches and stag nant jiools may poscihly entail an epidemic, but tho advantage to pos terity is inestimable. There . are, no doubt at present, golden oppor tunities for the employment of cap ital and talent in many local trades. Tho departments of the postoflice and telegraph, being nw under American and pritish control, are admirably conducted." The Brit ish vice-consul at Iloilosays: "The United Statoa forces have now sue- awfully occupied the greater part of tho island. The end of this year augurs well for a happier future, and, when once a peaceful rule is istablished, many important imp rovements will take place." Tho hop growers mot in Salem ast Saturday, pursuant to call, for tho purpose of considering the proposition of Lilienthal Bros? to guarantee 15 cents per pound, pro vided only good hops be picked, and tho output reduced 25 per cent. On this proposition there was no definite decision, liiloy Cooper of Independence said that many Folk comity growers had already reduced their acreage 25 per cont and he thought it would be unfair to ask stinh to still further reduce their their acreage. Growers contracting with Lilienthal Bros, would be com pelled to furnish a first class hop of perfect quality and should grow ers raiso only such hops, he predic ted that little difliculty would be experienced in realizing 15 cents from their hops to any buyer. Mr. Cooper further said that the hop crop in the locality of Independen ce would be short, probably notovor throe-fourths of a crop. The speak er was disposed to discourage the growers in , tho acceptance of the terms of tho ponding proposition. le said theoretically the proposed plan was all right, but practically. it was a questionable mode of pro cedure, lie concluded by saying that if growers would only produce a first class hop, there would be no need of any dealer guaranteeing a price for the crop.

Alt draulMi, n The refusal of the Finnish Par liament at Ililslngfori to pass legis lation requir1 o lht'm ,n,th0 lm perlal effort to wholly KuwlanUj t)l0 Finnish people, calls attention wain to the fact that a small but brave people in tho north of Europe uro in tho death throes of constitu tional liberty.' Uecently General Bubrikoff, Governor of Finland, in the name of th Car promulgate! sn ordinance decreeing that here after tho Russian language should be the ollioUl tongue in all Finland. According to tho constitution t of that grand duchy which has not yet been formally abrogated, no grand ducal decree can become leg al without the consent of Parlia ment, and that body was accord ingly asked to give legality to the Imperial act by ratifying It. This, after careful deliberation, has been refused. The Finnish Parliament has also refused to ratify a law giving to RtiHsiana tho right to en gage in certain lines of trade which bavo nltherto baon prohibited to Finlanders on moral , and other grounds. Beyond an indication of the, desperation to ; which theao people have been reduced in their effort to maintain a semblance of their ancient constitutional liberty, this refusal is insignificant. " Rus sia finds ways and - means whereby to enforce compliance with her wishes In her own dominions, This battle of the Finns is pathetic but it can ouly end in their nation al humiliation. If there is anyone who has gain ed the idea that the prosperity of a town, village or city is guided by the wealth of its inhabitants they are mistaken. ' History shows us that it is the uniformity with whic.1 all citizens pull together whennn imnortant dutv is to be aeeomnlish- ed, that builds cities and makes them prosiierouH. . A man with thousand dollars at his commam backed up with a genuine interest in the welfare of bis town, can do more for its upbuilding than a millionaire who locks up his money and snaps bis fingers at home pro gress. ft ft ft Ill'EMA YISTA, John Shivon returned from Port land Sunday.
