It won't ba long now until wo
can begin ewearing off for the next
century.
For a man in private life, Mark
Twain certainly manages to keep
his narue' before the public. And
ha doos it bo nicely too.
In the mini of one part of the

The Hon. Eugene Vox Debs ad

defeated, out he is unable to invent
as many excuses for the slaughter
of Col. Bryan.

A public discussion is to bo held
in Manila of the new tariff bill. If
Aguinaldo has anything to say let
him drop in and say it, or else for
ever after hold his peace.
Gen. Mercer has withdrawn some
of the fire from his sjeech about in
vading Great Britain. The distin
guished French officer seems to lack
the convictions of his courage.
The prospective war between Por
tugal and Holland will not last
long enough to enable Carl Schurz
to ascertain which side he ought to
be on in order to be inconsistent.

If the London authorities want
to find the Filipino junta in Hong
Kong they ought to engage the ser
vices of the English spy who dogged
the pro-Boer footsteps of Webster
Davis last summer.

Jerry Simpson was given up by
congress and in retaliatian has
given up politics. Result he is
making money and becoming a
plutocrat.
Pity the poor starving brewers.
Their business is in an awful con
dition. They only increased their

The Baker "Republican is of the
opinion that Oregon "need3 a man."
True enough; but it has no use for
a senatorial funeral. It wants
live man.

The canteen provicion incorpor
ated in the army bill by the house
will almost certainly become a law,
although three fourths of the mem
bers of both house and senate are
opposed to it, and think it exceed
ingly ill advised. Who says that
public opinion docs not make it
self felt in this country
ft
Washington city's finances are
in the hands of congress. Taxes
are levied and collected, but not
one cent can be spent without the
approval of congress. The result is
that the capital city of the nation
is suffering from an epidemic of
typhoid fever, which the physicians
testify is due entirely to the filthy
condition of the water supply. Yet
congress will not appropriate the
city's own money for a system of
filtration.
ft ft
The last Republican convention
in Multnomah county indorsed
Senator Simon as "Multnomah
county's representative in the Unit
ed Stales senate." That is correct.
Simon represents Multnomah coun
ty, McBride represents Oregon,
Multiiomah included. Should Cor
bett be elected, Multnomah county
wouldjbaye two representatives in
Print fur Counties.
The State Board of Agriculture
has ordered that be set apart
for prizes for displays of the agri
cultural and horticultural products
of the various counties, variety and
quality to bo considered in distri
buting prixes. The county making
the best exhibit will receive 1250
and a silver cup valued at $100
second priie, 1200; third, $150
fourth, $100; fifth, $75; sixth, $50
The prizes are established at thi
time in order that every county
may have ample time to arrange
for its exhibit at the fair. By tak
ing up the matter m time, it woul
be just like finding $250 and a $100
silver cup for Polk county to semi
a county exhibit to the next stato
fair.
Now it seems that Governor Pin
gree's pardons of the "generals" are
void because the proper routine was
not followed. The country will re
joice to hear this. Anyone less
worthy of pardon than the men
who plundered the state and robbed
the soldiers in war times would bo
hard to find.
The battle for the Oregon sena
tornhip to succeed McBride is tak
ing form, and suites of rooms are
already engaged at Hotel Willam
ette for at least three aspirants, and
for twenty days .on and after Fri
day, January 11. The legislature
meets on Monday the 11th. Ex-
Senator Cjrbett will be hero and
take personal charge of his candi
dacy.' He will make an open light
for the honor, and cast aside all
the manipulating and secret meth
ods of the past. McBride is ex
pected to bo here, as well -as Mit
chell and Fuiton. Governor Goer
says in the most emphatic manner
that he will not allow his name to
be sprung as a candidate under any
circumstances. Salem Journal.

Some of the opposition orators,
who started in to fight for free silver
and then switched to imperialism
and next to trusts, are now making
the department stores the chief sub
ject of their argumeut. This is

Wisconsin is discussing a law to
require candidates for matrimony
to submit to a medical examination

Chairman Ray of the judiciary
Committee is about to take the first
steps toward securing an amend
. ment to the constitution giving the
government power over marriage
and divorce. It is to be hoped that
he will succeed, though the road
will undoubtedly be long and
rocky. The divorce laws of many
states are a stench in the nostrils of
the world.
today. The postmaster who sells
postage stamps deals also, as a rule,
in dry goods and wet goods, in
hardware and soft ware, in glue and
groceries. The country store was
the prototype of the department
store. The only difference between
the two now is that the city depart
ment store ha a separate counter
for every separate class of goods,
while the country store-keeper, over
the same counter, sells his customer
anything, from a jug of molasses to
package of Tins. Where shall we
draw the line on tho department
stores? If we wipe out the big one
in the city, what will become of the
ittle one in the country?

To the Point.
Recent shipments of livestock
from Independence are: T. J. Fryer,
200 head of choice mutton sheep;
Gray, 200; Lee Brown, 500; W.
W. Percival, 1200; and also two
cars of fat tioirs. The hoes were
very choice, bringing the same price
as Eastern Oregon hogs. They
averaged about 300 lbs. live weight
for which the farmers were paid A
cents per pound. It mav bo a
revelation to the Willamette farmer
to learn that the Eastern Oregon
hog pells at a quarter to a half cent
per pound higher than the valley
ing. The explanation of this is
that the valley farmer persists in
selling his hogs half finished while
the Eastern Oregon farmer is never
ready to sel! until his hogs are well
fattened. And yet there are some
very choice hogs in shipment that
had not been fed on wheat. They
were raised on a rotation of crops
and finished on corn, which leaves
the grower a nice margin.
As it saves the t xpense of har
vesting the grain there certainly
should be more stock raised in the
Willamette valley. They are bring-
ng long prices and we surely can
compete with favored localities
with our mild and even climate.
Still mutton sheep and hogs are
selling as high here as in Chicago,
where the farmers of the eastern
states market their stock. They
have to prepare for long cold win
ters, not like our valley farmers
who never expect to have to feed,
or if so there are rare occasions.
More , livestock and less wheat
should be the motto of the Willam
ette valley farmer. Rambler.

Tho Senate did not take up the
Nicaragua Canal bill today, in ao
cordanco with the resolution adoj
ieu ai mo last session, because,
with the vote of tho many friends
of tho Canal hill, tho Ship Subsidy
bill was hist week made tho regular
order of tho Sunn to. The friends o;
the Canal bill will wait until the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is acted
upon before pushing that measure.
They say that they have the votes
pledged t) pass it whenever they
get ready, and that there is no neei
to runh it now.
When Congress is good it is very
good, and it has bwn very good

There has not been tho slightest

from 58,000 to 100, 000. men, in the
President's diHcretion, which under
ordinary circumstances might have
been expected to Jiava- aroused thj
minority. Doubtless tho failure of
tho minority caucus to agree ujRn
a party policy had something to do
with the calmness of the debate.
Congress is likely to find itself
volvod in a financial disoiiHiiion
shortly, in connection with an ad
ministration bill providing a sys
tem of coinage for tho Philippines,
where the Mexican dollar, commer
cial value, 50 centH, is the jxijmlar
unit of value, under U. S. control,
as ii was under Spuuish control.
No bill has yet been introduced in
Congress on tho subject, but from
talk at a Cabinet meeting, one is
ikely to bo that will provide for
the purchase of silver bullion to be
coined into pesos, or Phillinine
lollars, each to contain alw'ut fifty
cents worth of silver, or a little loss
than our standard silver dollar.

Tho senate committee on military

The house, with a view to expedit

quently made in tho Btreetn that
money in heing freely imed in tho
interest of one of tho candidates in
the coming senatorial election.
That large wealth is interested there
can he no question. If men having
reputations as boodlera oro intonat
ing themselves in thosueceHs of any
wealthy aspirant for Hint high oflico
let their comings and goings he
closely watched by all honorable
men. Should they ho seen inter

let imiuiry bo mado as to their bus

to understand that bribery and
corruption will not bo tolerated.
Oregon needs a representative in
tho senate who can accomplish
something for the slate, and who
has some interest in affairs aside
from "personal vindication" or re
venge on political enemies. The
stato of Oregon has nothing to do
with private (lilliculties, and no
man has tho right even to ask the
legislature to help remove tho blot
ches from his moral cscutoheon..
It is work Oregon needs and' not a
social light in the giddy whirl of
tho fashionable set at tho Nation's
Capital. Wealthy entertainers can
but political connections, provided
they spend money enough. Oro
gon is not in need of social distinc
tion. She wants a senator who
already has, and who can secure,
committee assignments where sub
stantial benefits can be secured in
the way of appropi iatins and favor
able legislation. Lot it ho soon to
that the right man is , selected.
Money does not make the man any
more than does tne coat.
