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!

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.

The W. 0. T. U. succeeded in do

'The Brownsville Times announ

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.

Whatever the supreme court may

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

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.

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

There are too many in this world

A newspaper's appearance has
been considered an index to a
town's desirability as a place of

hearty support of the advertising
columns of a local paper helps

A coroner's jury in Mississippi
found that a man killed by the cars
was in "a reasonable state of in

state is preservative of tho reason

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.

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

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 .

Tho supremo court of t his state
lias ruled that the bicycle lax is
ilhyal. The decision was handed
down hy Judge Moore. Four points
aro decided: First, the bunion im
posed by tho act is held to ho a tux
rather than a lieoiiBo. .Second, it
A decided that tho net is local.
Third, tho law is void as contraven
ing the state constitution. Fourth,
tho act operates to produce a double
assessment on bicycles, in violation
of tho slate constitution. The Illi
nois ciibo declaring unconstitutional
the act under which the Oicgon
law is modeled is cited on this
point.
After citing several text-writers
and adjudged cases the court nays:
"It is evident, we think, from a
consideration of )m entire act, that
it was primarily designated hb a
means of raising revenue, and the
burden thus imposed must be treat
ed as a tax and not a license"

objecting to dividing the funds set
apart for maintaining an agricul
tural college iind experiniental sta
tion. 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. This is true not
only for the Willamette valley ofj
Oregon, but all that part of Wash-!
inglon West of the Ci'scade inotm
tains. Oregon might ih well sur
render tho entire college as to fritter
away results by .division.- -Albany
