Speaking of Christmas gifts, the distribution of '$150,000,000 in di vi rions in New York.City seems likely to take the blue ribbon. Americans pay foreign ships $500,000 a day for ocean freights, and that disposes of a largo slioo of the balance of trade in our favor. ft Gen. Christian Do Wet, "'the fox of tho veldt," evidently is deter mined to die game. ft ft In the canal matter it seems to be a question of standing by the treaty, standing by our guns, or both. ft ft ft Old father time is about to join the other powers of the world in putting a new face on China, ft ft Speaking from' a cold business point of view, it is prolmble that Mr. Bryan's thirty-acro farm will yield him more money than his 50o newspaper. ft ft ft Salvation can not be considered to be very free so long as Hetty Green continues to hold mortagnges on more than GOO churches in the United States. Ambassador Choato takes especial pains to inform the American peo ple that there are no largo unsettled estates in England, and if they in sist on being swindled they will have to go back to the old reliable gold bricks. ft Mark Haunn'8 decendants will never find a better family motto than the Senator's famous express ion; "I have taken South Dakota out of the doubtful column." ft ft The Oregon Statesman issues a surprisingly good supplement on the 2d instant aa a supplement to the daily of that date.

In the sixth American congress, J the first to assemble in Washing ton, John Randolph, a member of the house, referred to the array as "a handful of ragamuflins, eating up the people's substance under pretense of protecting them from a foreign foe." In the light of later history Mr. Randolph made a Pet tigrew of himself by that foolish language. ft ft ft Oklahoma's chance to become a state before the present term of con gress ends on March 4 next is good Nobody in congress is making any objections to that territory's ad mission. If, though, it should fail to get in before that date it will be because of the great number of measures of urgent concern which are before congress or which may come up in the next few weeks. In any case, Oklahoma is sure to add another star to the flag in the very near future. ft ft ft Experiments with fly-proof wheat are being made in some of the west em agricultural states. It is only a question of time when the Hes sian fly and the chinch bug will have to adopt a more honorable businesB than working against pros perity. ft ft ft w Congress has its work well along for this period of the session. The expiration will cpme, by limitation, on March 4, but from present indi cations all the really urgent legis lation will be enacted before that time. A creditable degree of speed has been shown by our lawmakers in the past few weeks. ft ft ft The Oregonian's annual, al though a comprehensive number and full of interesting and useful data, Beems to have been somewhat of a disappointment to our citizens. That is because the Oregonian is sued last year a paper printed on fine plate book, while this year the ordinary print paper was used. Last year's paper, while more ex pensive, from the printers' view and more artistic, is not so valuable as this . year's paper. The data printed will do more, to secure de sirable emigrants (people ,with money) than fine pictures alone. And yet the illustrations and views this year are above the average, even though printed on common print paper. May the Oregonian out" many more sucn "an- The Times-Mountaineer does not approve of extending vtato aid to normal schools or higher institu tions of learning for the reason that it is taxing tho many for the bene fit ot th few, and because such in stitutions cannot como within the roach of all. It does not hoi love in furnishing free tuition for doctors, lawyers, blacksmith?, carpenters or mechanics in any line. If a person is determined to become pro ficient in any of these branches, he will secure the necessary learning if given a common school education, without state assistance, and there is no more reason for aiding in the fitting of a teacher for his profession than there is in helping tho am bitious boy to learn blacksmith! ng. The Hoy's and Girls' Aid Society, started in Portland by a numlier of its best citizens, as a privuto iusti tut ion, has undertaken to do for abandoned ehildren.what their par ents, either through disinclination or inability, have failed to do, pro vide them with homes, Hotter, in deed maintain this institution thru the several normal schools and col leges, or, in fact, the reform school, which is conducted at a heavy ex pense ail is made a political ma chine.

And in tho strug gle which the Oregon delegation have been making for recognition of the great interests of this state in the River and Harbor bill, it dors not appear that the Portland Sen ator has taken a hand. The most active days of the short session of Congress have drifted away while he has continued to linger at home working against the the re-election of Senator McBride, who has been at his post of duty. It certainly does tho candidacy of Mr. Corbett very little good to have it managed by such methods as those used by the Political Boss of Portland, and he would serve his own best interests to have the latter go to Washington and take his seat inthesonate chamber. Sen ator Simon was not elected toman- age political campaigns buttoserve the state and the whole people of the state. ft ft ft " If the election last Juno bad turned upon the question whether the president of the First National Bank of Portland should or should not be selected senator, how many would have voted in favor of Cor bett? In his own county, where his election was more or less an is sue in tho campaign, the Citizens Legislative Ticket was elected be cause it was understood to bo op posed to him. The persistancy with which his name is insisted upon, is, I under the circumstances, little short of impudence. It is understood that ho "claims" certain members of the legislature. Doubtless he will be able to prevail on some by meth ods known to rich and unscrupu lous candidates, but those influ enced in this way will find it hard to explain when they return home. Newberg Grapio 1 WASIIIMiTOI LETTER. Washington, D. C, Deo 24. Nothing could bo more compli mentary to the U. S. Supreme Court, or better demonstrate the ab solute faith of our people in the strength of our form of government than the current talk about the decision of the Supremo Court, in the cases involving the constitu tional status of Port Rico and the Philippines, one of which was ar gued just before the court took its holiday recess, and will be decided in the near future. While oppinion is much divided as to what the de cision will be, it is unanimous that it will settle tho much argued ques tion. In other words, that no mat ter whether this decision shall up hold tho construction put upon the Constitution by the administration in its dealings with our new pos sessions, or shall upset it and make an entire reversal of policy neces sary, it will be accepted as final by everybody. There have been de cisions of the supreme court that were unpopular, but there never bus Ikhmi one that was not accepted. This reflects as much credit upon the good sense and patriotism of people, as upon tho wisdom uud in tegrity of the men who have Imwi honored by membership uf that court, which have lieon called "The Greatest Legal Tribunal on earth." Tho second case involving the same general question has Won set for argument on January 7th, after which the court will, it Is expected, consider the cubes and prepare its decision. A comparatively small number of Senators and Representatives re main in Washington for their holi day, and the capitol is almost de serted today, except by the sight seers and a few of tho regular em ployes. None of the House or Sen ate Committees are sitting during tho recces, which is something un usual. Senator Chandler has met the charge that be had lost the support of his party associate by his atti tude on tho silver question, by se curing letters of endorsement and praise from twenty-four republican senators. These letters have been printed for circulation in New Hampshire. The Senate Comittee on Agri culture which has been giving hear ings on tho Oleomargarine bill, will not sit during the recess, but will resume tho bearings January ft, thf day that Congress . reusseuiblcfl The fight over this bill jTOtuisui ( bo quite as vigorous al jt was "tu the House, lmt u a vote Is ' rcachmt Chairman lUirtorf,' of ''the' House River and Harbor Committee, hag made public the River and Harbor bill, just completed by that Com mittee, and which will be reported to tho House as soon as Congress reassembles. Tho bill carries in round figures ItiO.OOO.OOO of which about $23,000,000 is in direct ap propriations, and uliout $.'57,000,000 for the payment of contracts for continuous work authorized by pre vious bills.

S, Senators aijb mixed up in thestory told. AoconV Ing to one of these rtorlos, ni'o than one Senator is being lavishly entertained on a costly Christmas trip, with Panama Canal morToy. Of course, this may lie true and yet the Senator involved illicit not be guilty of anything worse than bad judgement. For instance, a man whoso egotism is great enough, and egotism is a marked characteristic of most men, might easily lie flat tered into accepting an Invitation to goon a pleasure trip with some man who bo believed to bo his per sonal admirer and friend, without devoting any thought to where the money was coming from to pay tho bills, or whether tho man expected any legative favor in return for such expensive social courtesies, and yet lie a man of honest intentions. ,, To accept such invitations, however, H a pretty strong indication that ,the mnu is not properly equipped lslilpnjp newspapers of Oregon were con successful " Congressional " career. The best and inostservloiible friends tho lobbyists have in Congress, are those who are never seen in their company and who could not be in duced to make a trip in the com pany of anyone known to be con nected with any sort of lobbying scheme, The superstitious are again find ing omens around the White House. Just before tho President's mother died, several years ago, a shadow wa seen by them every morning w hen tho sir1, shone on the portico of tho White Horse, which they de clared represented tho bent form of an old women. , After Mrs. McKin ley's death it was seen no more. Lately, every fair day, about eleven o'clock in the morning, tho same persons huve seen and pointed out a shadow on one of the big pillars at tho east of the portico, in the form of a forearm and hand, wit h the forefinger held up with an air of protest or warning, and they aro predicting that this is an advance notice of Homo sort of calamity. About the only thing accom plished by Secretary Hay wiien he made public the agreement signed by tho foreign ministers in Pekin was to confirm what the nuwspttper men had published a long time ahead of tbtjiwretary. fl Hon. M I. Jones, of Hnxyts, president of the Oregon Hop Growers' Association, has issiWT a circular letter to tho stockholders of tho Association, calling their atten tion to the annual meeting of the Association, to be held in W'ood burn, on Wednesday Jan 'J 1001, at 10 a.m. A meeting of all of the state is called for the same time and placo, for the purpose of discussing tho needs of the growers and make plans for the future marketing of their products. Tho latest move proposed is to place agents in Lon don and New York to sell what ever hops tho Association may con trol. Tho call of President Jones for tho meeting is as follows: "Tho annual meetinir .of the stockholders of the Oregon Hoj ( 1 rowers' Association will be held it Wood burn on Wcdnefday, Jan uary (J, 11)01, at ten o'clock a. in. You are earnestly requested to be present, ns questions of great im portancouud tho future interest of tho Oregon hop grower will bo up for discussion and consideration. At this meeting the annual election of ollicers is to be had and the re port of the finances of tho Associa tion will no read. Hie lumls on hand will be subject to the instruc tions of the' stockholders. 'If it iB impossible for you to be present in person, ploaso write to Jas.

A majority of all tho stock sub1 scribed must bo represented at the meeting, in order to have a quorum to do business. , ; "At the request of a great many hop growers, the meolii g of ail tho hop growers in tho stato is called forth same time and place for tho general discussion of our mutual interests. Come yourself and in vite all your neighbor hop growers." Secretary WiiiHtanley, in a letter to the stockholders, discusses the matter of future policy of the As sociation, saying in part: "I feel sure that it will be for the best interests of the Oregon hop growers to keep up the Association.' In the mutter of supplies, it helps to keep down the prices and: delivers them to the growers at the least possible margin.

What it wants and what Philidelphia wants is a large or ganization of influential citizens to enforce the law; or better to per suade the people to demand the en forcement of the law by the proper ly constituted authorties, If 25, 000 citizens could be enrolled in such an organization, and especially ARBLE and Mm ,1 r - 6' (is ts C.

CHAMBERS, 4 iuut;Jt;iiu?iiic7 if they could be, persuaded to be come active in it, the result would be a complete " reformation in the moral tone and in the government of either New York or Philidelphia Philadelphia Lodger. A :t00 lloniis. A cable from Manila represents a condition in the islands that threat ens the men-sure of order now pre vailing in case troops shall be with drawn before other trooops supply the vacant places. Tho dispatch says: "Should congress offer a $300 bonus for re-eiilistment there is no doubt that thousands of experienced and acclimated volunteers would remain here." , ".' This suggestion Beems worthy of consideration. The extra cost in the way of bonus would be $300, 00Q for each. 1000 experienced and acclimated volunteer, If 10,000 volunteorssliould re-enlist the extra cost to the Government Would be only about $3,000,000. , This is a small item in the general expense of the war.

The Filipinos are awaiting the departure of acclimated troops in the expectation that raw recruits will take their places. These Fili pinos realize the value of climate as an ally in tropical countries. They know also that tho enlistment of troops in the regular army does not make raw recruits veterans. If, therefore, 10,000 volunteers should re-enlist, theFilipinos would com prehend more fully the nature of the task before them. War is waste under the best possiblo conditions, but there may, be economy in bo conducting a war as to bring it to an end. S. F. Bulletin. In Oregon it is held that mar riages before the expiration of six months after divorce proceedings are illegal. California places the limit at one year, and says that the marriages are not legal before the expiration of that time even though they cross into Nevada to obtain their licenses. Why all this fuss? It does not lessen the marriages in ' any particular, and whether legal or not,, people go into adjoining states and are married just the same.
