PATBDKIZK HOME INDUSTRY.
OREGON OITY, AUGUST 19, 1898,
Alabama went democratic by 80,000
majority.
The war will soon bo o,ver, but the
war tax will linger with us, and the war
bonds will stick to us closer than a
brother. Ex.
An ounce of silver is now worth a
bushel of wheat. They manage to get
together in spite of all that can be done
to keep them apart Independent..
General James B. Weaver has been
nominated for congress in seperate con-
ventions by the democrats, populists
and free silver republicans of the sixth
Io wa congressional district.
A slight atonemen t for the wrong that
has been done to the gallant band at
Santiago w.ould be the enforced resigna
tion of AL'er from the war department.
But there is little hope of ihat. All the
bargains made at St. Louis and Canton
are being kept. Oregoniun.
Wool buyers at the Dalles are offering
from 11 to 12 cents for wool, but no sales
are being made. Wool is the same
price now that it was four years ago
when the "free trade" Wilson bill went
into effect, with the differo'icu that sales
were then more frequent. Glacier.
At.Tiioircu ll io war lusted only 111 days
it is estimated that it has cont the govern.
meiit so fur $;50,000 000, of which
$98,000,000 lias been actually paid nut of
the treasury. Appropriations made by
congress on account of the war aggregat
ed about $300,000,000, and cover the time
to January 1st, 1899.
Waii.B creditor England has been
buay forcing tiio gold standard upon
other nations, Ruesiu has been doing
business on paper money, developing
her resources, and by stimulating busi
ness at home has been able with her
surplus products to gather in about
$000,000,000 in gold, which is securely
locked up in her war cheet.
Commodokb Watson, the grizzled
veteran who was Farragut's right hand
man in the rebellion and performed
feats of personal daring unexcelled in the
history of naval warfore, was given no
opportunity to distinguish himself dur
ing the late war. But what business
lias a man to be a Kentucky democrat
like Watson, or a Virginia democrat like
FiUhugh Lee, anyway, asks the Kobo
burg lie view?
BiNUEii Hrkmax does not propose to
desert his Oroirnn friends as long as a
eenatorial election hovers in the near
future. In the national treasury only
holds out he will have a bigsrer army of
special land agents and forest rnugera
than that now operating in Porto Kico
under General SI ilea. Dinger has, also,
raised salaries, a notable instance being
clerks in the U. S. Land office who have
lioretofore received $1,000 a year but
now, with the woik diminishing are to
be paid $1,200. Republican prosperity
of the Mark Hunna brand evidently
means prosperity to the office bidding
class at tlie expense of the people who
pay the taxes. Rosebury Review.
Tiim batteries of the Morro Castle at
Santiago were practically uninjured by
successive bomdardmonts. This teaches
us that a modern land battery, properly
constructed and manned,is impregnable
from the sen. The guns, which destroy
ed Oervera's fleet in less than an hour,
were not able in two months to demolish
the six guns in the Morro battery.
Had tl.e (inns been properly manned
our blockading squadron would not have
been ablo to keep in range of their fire.
This means that our coast defenses can
readily be made completely imnregnn
ble that the strongest navy in the world
could not stand for n single day in front
of (he guns and mortars at Sandy Hook.
THE MOM'GAGE.
The mortgage is a sell-suppprting
institution.
Tho mortgage holds its own. It calls
for just r.s many dollars when grain is
cheap as w hen it is dear.
It is not affected by drouth.
It is not drowned out by the heavy
rains.
It never winter-kills.
Late spring and early frosts never
trouble it.
Potato bugs do not disturb it.
Motli and rust do not destroy it.
It grows nights, Sundays, rainy days
ud even holidays.
It brings a sure crop every year, and
sometimes twice a year.
It produces cah every time.
It does not have to wait for the market
to advance
It is not subject to speculations of the
"bulla" and "bears" of the board of
trade.
It is a load that galls and frets an d
chafes.
It is a burden that the farmer cannot
shake off.
It is with him morning, noon and
night.
It sits with him at the table.
It gets under his pillow when he sleeps.
It rides upon his shoulder duiing the
day.
It consumes his grain crop.
It devours his cattle.
It selects the finest horse and the fat
test steers.
It lives upon the finest fruits of th e
season.
It stalks into the dairy where the
housewife toils day after day and month
after month ; and takes the nicest cheese
and the choicest butter.
It shares the children's bread and robs
them of half their clothes.
It is the inexorable and exacting task
master. Its whip is as the merciless and cruel
lash of the slave driver.
It is a menace to liberty, a hindrance
to progress, a curse to the nation.
School Apportionment.
County Superintendent Strange this
week made the following apportionment
of state school funds for the various dis
tricts of Clackamas couniyat the rate of
$1 20 per capita for every child of school
age. Next week an apportionment of
county school funds will be made, which
will probably he something over $1.10
per capita. This will be tho last appor
tionment of schnoi funds for the year
lrt'JN. A apportionment of $.0 per dis
trict was made in April, and later an ap
portionment of $2 pei" capita was made.

These summer days,

Or, say, a frog
In some wet bog,
With naught to do
The long day through
But soak and croak,
And croak and soak.
