FKHKUARY l IWt Will the engineers require all that $25,000 (appropriated for tho revetment here) for preliminary surveys? it Editor J. JStoiliug Morton speaks ot tho Commoner as being made up of "cold llabewist" and "rehashed inanities served frozen." Merely friendly editorial courtesies, gentle men, merely friendly courtesies. It turns otitthat Kditor liico was debited from Manilla t'or printing an article criticising the ollieec of the port in an article that had no relation whatever to the war. Gen eral MacArthur had heller go slow, Lese niajeste is not an offense that this country will consent to have . punished by any army otliccr who objects to an article in the papers. For tho information of those who do not know it, we will mention that the law of Kansas specifically declares saloons to be nuisances and gives authority to private peo ple, as well as to olbeials, to abate them. Hence Mrs. Nation! ft Secretary Lonu did a most inju dicious thing when he gave his let ter to Senator Morgan, in regard to the Sampson S hley controversy, out for publication. Long is a good little man, hut like others; he is daft on the subject of Sampson. An exchange says: There was n deficit of over f 13,000 in the reform school management during the past two years that has been made good by the legislature. Tract ieal men cannot understand why there should be this deficit with so many able-bodied boys, tlOO acres of land and no building expanses to lie met. It certainly does not look well for the management. In such canes as this there should be ft strict inves tigation with immediate lopping off of official heads. 6 The W. 0. T. U. succeeded in do ing away with every, slot machine, except one, in .Pallas. This one won't go, and its now up to the ladies to make it "get." , ' ft ft 'The Brownsville Times announ ve that it' will advertise the ac . ' counts of ntt subscribers who are in arfear for three years and over, by ' . publishing the list, and sell the ac counts to the best cash bidder. 9 It is probable that a decision of the courts, limiting the Castellanes to a beggarly $'200,000 a year until their debts are paid, will decidedly bear the market for American heir esses abroad. What (noac) count would trade his lifty-year old ficti tious title for a mere $200,000 a year? Judging from the pictures in the newspapers of Mrs. Nation, the Kansas cyclone, it is no wonder she breaks mirrors when she enters a Baloon. It's now up to the V. C. T. U. of Dallas. Because of the Observer's remarks on the questionable useful ness of a moral wave, generally, several members withdrew their names as subscribers. JJro. Havter tells the Wkst Sikk that he got four new subscribers for every one that quit him; and that he can stand that sort of boycott every day. ft ft ft Oh yes, dear Filipinos, com down out or trie mils ana no gooa. You can have free speech, frw press, free love and pretty nearly every thing else l!ut remember, you must not criticize the army or you will surely be deported, ft ft ft Whatever the supreme court may think of it, freedom of the press does not follow the flag where Gen eral Mac-Arthur holds sway not by a long chalk. ft ft ft The West Point investigation has disclosed one fact of wide interest. It has explained why military men are always so meek and lowly. Evidently it is because the conceit was taken out of them by hazing. - In a breach of promise in Idaho, a letter from the plaintiff was road in which she told the defendant, Thomas Jerry Wells, that ho had "intoxicated" her with love. "Tom and Jerry" have become anions for producing just that effect upon all who da'ly with them, A good citizen is he who express es faith in the Zuture of tho town he lives in, and who is always talking oZ its advantages as a place of resi dence. Strangers fight shy of Silurians, and never locate in a place the inhabitants of which seem to stay there because they can't help themselves, rather than from choice and a laudable desire of bettering their condition by help ing the community they live in. There are ye a few railroads in Polk county that are not in lie Morgan-llarrlman syndicate, ft ft ft ' A Kansas philosopher says there arc only three kinds of people in tho world those that have the grip, those that have had it, and those that expect to have it. ft ft ft A visitor from Montana, who be en mo separated from a check for $1500, is stranded in Chicago. Moral; Never put all your eggs in one basket. Keep n few in ft side jHH'ket. One great objection to the bills passed by the legislature at the re quest of barbers is that there is no provision in any of them prohibit ing the tonsorial artist front asking questions that compel his subject in answering to swallow a mouth ful of lather. ft ft ft "What to Hat" is the name of a Minneapolis paper that comes to cs now and then. Wo would respect fully inform tho publisher that what to eat is not sojnueh import ant just now as how to get it. Per haps our delinquent subscribers might assist us. 9 There are too many in this world who will not cast their bread upon the water unless they are assured beforehand that it will come back in a few days a full-grown sand wich, all trimmed with ham, but; tered and rolled up in a warranty deed for one-half of the sarth and a mortgage on the other half. A newspaper's appearance has been considered an index to a town's desirability as a place of residence and business. Thus the hearty support of the advertising columns of a local paper helps along the growth. ft ft ft It will ptulo the military histor ian to tell what tien, Miles ever did to entitle him to the rank of lieutenant general in the United States army, 9 AUnit forty legislatures are in session, and just about tho same number of constitutional conven tions are proposed by the law tink ers, instead of letting bad enough alone. 9 A coroner's jury in Mississippi found that a man killed by the cars was in "a reasonable state of in loxication." If the whisky in that state is preservative of tho reason ing faculties its analysis ought to Ih made public. When the decisions of John Mar shall, during his lifetime, were causing the Democrats of the whol country to dislike him, and many of them to denounce him, nobody could have forseeii that Democrats as as well as men of alkolher, part ies would unite in honoring his memory on the lOOlh anniversary of his accession to the supreme bench. All now recogni.e that the man who showed that the govern merit could govern was a great pat riot as well as a great jurist. $ A representative or advocate of the Uoers in this country says that the South African war has already cost Great Itritain $SU0,0lK),000 and IOO,()i)0 men killed, wounded, in validcd and missing; that tho pres entcostis $1,000,000 a day; that the deficit in gold and diamonds on account of the war amounts to $271,000,1)00; and that Powet has ;5"i,000 men, and can prolong tin war indefinitely. W hue there is doubtless a good deal of exaggera tion in those figures, the war will suiely cost enough in lives ami money to make the world stand aghast and the end seems not yet in SlghJ. It is reported that there is a dis position on the part of some of tin members of tho legislature to com bine tho d ':if' mute and blind school;'. This was tried a few years ago when the deaf mute school wy located near the blind school in this city, and it was found impracticable and unsatisfactory. Tlio propriety of such a move is opposed to the unanimous opinion of teachers and superintendents of tho deaf and blind throughout the land and would be a mo-tt unfortunate step to tako. The tendency all over the country is to separate these institu tions wherever they are joined, and it would bo a backward step to con solidate these schools at this time, --Salem Statesman. . Yes, by all means, separate them and keep them separate! Have as many departments as possible! I'ile on tho expense, the taxpayers can meet it witli taxes which are not yet heavy enough 1 Tho West Side knows of a school or defective youth (that's what they call the deaf, tho dumb and tho blind) at Vancouver, Washington, which is managed by one man as director, lie scorns to get along all right. Besides, ho has undo his manage ment a school or tho feeble-mind ed children, hut this latter building is about one-half mile distant from tho other school. While we know what the tendency is, it would Boom to be a good time to Btop it. WASH I '("! 01 MUTER. Washington, 1). 0., Feb., '4. Congress held a joint "essUm-to day for tho purpose of participating in the ceremonies connected with the celebration of the cenleTtuinl of the appointment of John Marshall, to be chief justice of tho U. 8. su- memo court, w hich were both in teresting and imposing. 'Usually the senate makes the house como lo it especially in legislative matter' hut when thcrvj is a joint session, the senate has to go to the house, for the very good reason that the senate chamber is not large enough to furnish even startling room for all the, members of the two bodies. The provident and his entire cabi net attended the Marshall ceremon ies; si the funeral of queen Vic toria on Saturday. U was a coin cidence that Hum two ceremonies, the fust in honor of a foreign sov ereign and tho second in honor of one of America's greatest jurists, should have been so close together, llow much bluffing Here is on both sides in the contest over the ship subsidy bill in the senate, must become apparent after a few days of iueeut tactics. As the matter iew stands, the steering committee of the majority has de cided that the subsidy bill shall be kept before the senate until a vote is taken, The" senate is already meeting at 11 o'clork instead of 12 and notice bus been given that be ginning early this week, night ses sions w.ll he held lo lire out the opiKisition. rim opponents of the bill say that they intend to fully debute it, and further that they in tend to compel a quorum to stay on the lloor and listen to t lie de bate. Meanwhile, the regular ap propriation bills are piling up in the senate, and every day given to the subsidy bill adds to the prol ability of an exra session of the next congress, a thing which many senators are particularly anxious to avoid, because it interferes with their jhtsoiiuI plans for the spring and summer. The attempt to unseat Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii, has taken tang ible shape, ami charges against him have been submitted to the house committee on elections, No, 1. it is charged that the c mgressionitl election in Hawaii was illegal; that Wilcox is a bigamist, and that he has been guilty of treason against the U. S, in offering his services to the Filipinos to fight against the U. S. Senator (.'handler doesn't appear to be ut alt opposed to an extra session, although he will not par ticipate in it if there is one, as he said during the debate on the ship ping bill: "There is plenty of time for congress to do all of its business U-lwoon now and the HI) of March. It is not important that the appro priation bills shall be passed before the lth of March, as they will not become operative Until the first of July." Under the army re-organization act, which became a law Saturday, the president will have tho appoint mei.t of more than M) officers, some of them being merely promo tions (if those already bidding com missions, It is not positively known whether these nominations will be sent to the senate as fast as deter- mat cough top ii You have used all sorts of cough reme dies hut it does not yield; it is too deep seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce la grippe, pneumonia or a seri ous throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT'S EMULSION will do this when everything else fails. There is no doubt about it. It nourishes strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this j nourishing food medicine. I qnc. rnitl . r.oo, til driiRKU'. SCOTT 4 liOWfOi, Chcn.isu, New York. f .' ....... -i .' J-.. West Hide and Paolne Homestead, one year, (2, mined upon, or whether the presi dent will wait until they can all he sent In at once. It is jirobabl that the high officers' nominations will go to the senate as soon as made. Nobody has any doubt that (ion, Miles will he named for lieutenant general. ' Senator Teller thus defined his position on the possible future an nexation of Cuba; "I am unalter ably opposed to any cliiwnc, direct or remote, that has for Its object the annexation ot Cuba, Even if the Cubans themselves should peti tion for annexation, I would op pose it," Senator Teller, who is the author of the clause iu tho declaration of war against Spain, disclaiming any purpose "on Ihe part of the U, 8. to exercise sovereignty or control over Cuba, except for the purpose of paeillcation, holds that Ihe presi dent, with the advice and consent of the senate, which will as usual meet in executive session imme diately after the 1th of March, can accomplish all that is necessary with reference to the future rela tions of this government nnd Culm, without any review of the Cuban constitution by congress, or the president. The president holds, on the contrary, that it is for Con gress, iul the executive, to say whether the government provided by the constitution upon which the Cuban convention is now working, will be satisfactory, and if so, to direct the president to withdraw the military authority of the U. H from Cuba. The president has made it plain that he Intends to submit the Cuban constitution to congress, and as ho is not likely to get it in time to be submitted to the present session, and does not think it right that the Cubans should be made lo wail until the regular session in December, that is taken to mean that he has made up his mind to call an extra ses sion of congress to deal with this Cuban matter, even if this session disposes of all legislation consider ed pressing. That is what those say whose relations with tho presi dent are lbs closest. It is known that prominent senators and repre sentatives have, within tho last few days, cancelled arrangements they had made for leaving Washington early in March, which slls extra session quite plainly. It is said that the hop crop i now more nearly cleaned up in Oregon and shipped out of the slato than at any time in the past doze years. There are only about 1000 bales of the crop of VM) left, and the "olds" are also being bought and shipped. It is said that all the hops that have lieen shipped have gone rather directly into con sumption, or for consumption, or boon shipped to England. My the time of the harvesting of the next crop, the supply on hand in this country will be very small. The Salem, buyers, some of them, are offering to make contracts with growers, and a few deals are actual ly being consumated for the com ing crop. They are offering 10 ami !0 cents, which is better than was being offered at this time last year. The outlook for fair prices for 11101 is very good. Itut it will depend largely yet upon the si.o and qual ity of the crop harvested in Eng land ami on the continent, to say nothing of the yield in the four states of this country, whero hops are grown on a large considerable scale, viz: New York, Washingt m, California and Oregon. . The first hop contract filed with the county recorder for the crop of 1W1, says ihe Statesman, was pre sented hy Thomas and John Kirk who have a l.'i-acro yard a half mile from St. Paul have contracted 10,000 pounds ot hops to Kaber oi Neis, of Albany for 10 cents a pound, (1 cents of which is to be paid at the time of picking. A dispatch from 'North Yakima tells us that tho hop growers of Yakima valley aro anticipating a good year for the crop. The first contract of the 11)01 season has been recorded. F. H. Thompson contracts tho expected yield of 21 acres it 11 cents per pound. Tho hops are to -bo delivered in good condition at Simcoe Btatiou, on tho Northern Pacific railroad, during tho month of October. Tho pur chaser is the Charles (Ireon, Son it Itrainard company, of Waterville, N. Y. It is estimated that the crop of this acreage will bo about 40,000 pounds. , The fir-d contracts of last year were made in the early Bpring at 9 cents per pound. Tho additional 2 cents argues well for the price tho coming your. JNo yards will he plowed up this year as there wcro last season. Tho acreage of Yaki ma county now in hops is estimated at about 2100 acres, . 1 . Mrs. Nation wants to move upon New York with an army of4 w.men with prayers and hatchets.

It is urged in support of the Kastorn Oregon agricultural school project that the climate is so differ ent that experiments made here from which conclusions are reached are of no value there. No doubt there is much in tho contention, but suppose tho school is divided. No conclusive work can ho done at either place. Washington now has a college in the stretch of country east of the Cascades and the work done there will apply to Eastern Oregon. If, however, efforts at Cor vallis are dissipated hy division, a large section of country with a pe culiar climate will bu deprived of benefits' coniii g from an experi mental station.
