Jay Gould, who ltft $72,0QJ,OO0, w.i-t never known to pay taxes on one million. Evipkrok William's recent speeches have been censor, d before being made public. Ever since the kaiser was told that he would die in an English prison 23 yeurs from now, having been exiled by his people, he. has been talking very wildly. Near Ri Grande City, Texts, an im mense deposit of an unknown gAseoua Bubst nice has been discovered. Pieces of it ignite quickly and give out a Blrong flame, which la.ts for a remarkably long period. It ia said by ccietitists that the substance is eithtr an unknown mineral or ordinary clay highly charged with gas. The value of the deposit as fuel is Immense, as it covers many thousands of acres and is of :reat depth. The policy the sugar, tobacco and rice Interests are trying to force upon the administration and congress in respect to Cuban 1rde is Imartless t iward Cuba and stupid toward ourselves. Nature has placed this i-litnd near our shores and endowed it with the fertility to yield in abundance products which we need and which are of flue quality than we can produce. The protect id interest! are seeking to correct the order of na ture and thwart her beneficence. American ship-builders complain that the one supreme reason why it is not possible for them to build a merchant marine to rival England's is because American trust-have been selling ship plates cheaper in England than here on the Atlantic seaboard. Would not the nation be better off if it had a shipping industry and if, in consequence, Mr Carnegie had been able to amass a fort une of only $160,000,000 instead of 300 003,000? A change in the tarff is what tne siiip-uuiiiers nued,--not a govern ment subsidy, For years a premium of J 500 has been offered for the solution of the mystery of the "Bernard Musician," who haunts Bernard river, luisy stream in Braz r!a county, Texas, in which the ocean tides ebb and flow. -The "Fiddlers" music first comes as a low musical hum niins Impossible to locate now In th air above, now following the rythmic beat of your oars, then in nr under our ekift.

In a memorial submitted by the Labor Council of Sun Frjuci.-c to President McKiuluy, during his vit-it to fiat city, itstys!"Tbe hostility of the Employ ers' Association to organized labor has hindered the industrial growth of the state and totally ruined a number of promising crafts. In the thirty years liuce 1870, the population of our neigh boring states, Washington and Oregon, has increased 21 i and 4! times, re spectively, while that of California has increased but 2 times. Many manu facturing industries have given place to imported products, snd the jobber has superseded the mechanic, to the detri ment of all classes of business, particu larly Iri'those linos that deixuid mainly upon working-class patronage." Tub Vast senatorial fight cost Oregon taxpajers'balf a million in Increased ap propriations and has left an added curse o? nearly 000 pages of new general l.iws. The half of theRe will not stand the stress of time and the courts. But when there is a boodle struggle on extrava gance rules and crazyquilt legislation is the rule. Tortland's two direct primary laws will never get to be tried. They are so manifestly ol the freak order that , any taxpayer can enjoin tbe county of- flcials for putting them into effect. No court but will commit them to the limbo of rmdbouse lawmaking, and putting Ihem into effect would condemn those who drftd them to the violent ward. Salem Journal. The New York World says concerning the recent supreme court decisions that they "leave the president and the con gress practically untrammelled by the constitution and hp free as is the Brit ish empire to pursue a policy of exnan- sion and to govern colonies upon what- ' ever lines circumstances may seem to ' mase expedient." Senator Tillman, of Soith Carolina, a Uunch old-line dem ocrat, is evidently of the same opinion, for, says he, the decisions "promulgate the damnable doctrine that this repub lic, whose bedrock principle is the 'con sent of the governed,' can acquire by conquest or purchase territories and peoples to be controlled and taxed with out representation thr iiih 'conttres Biomil absolutism, ' a doctrine must be met an 1 exposed, and pltns must be laid for a buttle to the death by the lovers of democracy and liberty against this heresy." On the Camas prairie and Silmon river, Idaho, a hostilities between the sheep and the cattle men have broken out and great carnage is looked for before the cio.se of the season Idaho is being eaten out by the forces that flht for the free range on the public domain. Swift of Chicago has hundreds of thousands of sheep in that state engaged in driving cattle olf the public domain and then in the destruction of the otures on which they feed. From New Mexico. Annum. Colorado and Wyoming come additional reports of the mngewar. The wealth of me Duunc domain is being destroyed, and the country made more arid, the lorests being endangered. The National Congress, O'ganized a dozen vears aeo has toiled and worked and resolved and implored and importuned, and at lust nas died discouraged. Its meeting this yar was appointed for Colorado SDnnas but is declared off because the members are so discouraged that they refuse to attend, that is the final end of the Irrigation Congress. THE NINETY AND NINE. There are ninety and nine that work and In want and hunger and colJ, die That one may revel in luxury, And be lapped in the silken fold I And nineiyand nine in their hovels bart And one in a palace rich and rare. From the sweat of their brows tl e desert And the forest before them falls ;blooms Their labor has builded humble homes, And cities with lofty halls, lands And the one owns cities and houses and And the ninety and nine have empty nanus.

OUR CUSTOMERS, Much has been said and writt n about the wonderful growth of our trade wilh our new island possessions and with Cuba. How large a percentage of our total exports are actually taked by diffordiit groups of c.uinlries is shown at a glance by the following table: Per cent. Great Britain and Ireland 41.71 British colonies 12.17 All continental Europe 84 57 South Amtrica and Central Amer- lea, M-jxio.Cuba, Porto Uico.eto 7.50 All Africa (except British) 23 Asiit (except British), including China, Japan, etc 2 9") Oceanica (except British) v.79 Philippine li-lands ,03 Totat 100.00 Mark Philippine oxports ,03ner cent of the total. These percentages were figured on theothYial export statistics of the fiscal year ending June 1899, by Mr. Edward Atkinon.as able and accurate a statistician as any living. But you can figure it for yourself. The total value for our domestic exports for the last fis cal year (1900) was 1 1,370 703,501. To this totil the Philippine Islands con tributed an item of $2,063i,624 (mostly for srmy supplies); Cuba, $25,230,808; P..rto Rico. 14,260,802; Hawaii. 113.077.- 50t5. The percentages w ill varv a little from those for 1899 above q ioted, but so little as to be of no consequence. AM 1SIXQ SILK IN A U ERICA . Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department will ask congress to give him $10,000 for the purpose of making experiments with the raising of silk worms and the production of raw silk, and he expressei the hope that some day this country may produce all of tbe silk it requires. There are people out ia Utah at the present time who are raising silk worms from year to year, growing mulberry leaves for their food, and actually producing silk and weav ing it into cloth tor family use, and it would be a simple matter to employ some of these experienced persons as teachers of the art in the Southern states. The South can produce silk aa well as cotton, to what ii to hinder the introduction of the new industry? Mr. Wilson says that talk culture is not and never has been an exceedingly remunerative business, but it adds vast wealth to the nations engaged in It, for the sin: pie reason that it Chn be pur sued by the humblest and poorest, re quiring, ac it does, only a small outlay, and he believes ther are thousands of families in America today that would be (ikd to add a few dollars to their annual income by giving light and easy employ ment for a few months each year to the more aged, to the young, and especially to tho women folks of the family who may have no other means of employing their time profitably. The rai-ing of a fe pound of cocoons e.icb year does not materially interim re with the household duties, ai.d it is the raising of cocoon s in the househo'd that makes the industry what it is, no less than 150,000 families in France raising a few pounds each year. M Ohiesa of Des Moines, has had considerable success in raising silk, and in fact contemplates engaging extensively in the business herer It is possible that America will yet become famous for her silks Des Moines (Ia ) "State Register." HOAR OF THE FALLS. It is high school commencement time, and it is a notable fact that the dre-s makep plays an important part in these functions. It is regretted that Oregon City has a lot of hoys of respectable paien agp, who make daylight hideous at baseball games y using obscence expressions in tlie presence of women. Such piactices are highly discreditable, and reflect to the injury of the respectable local popu lation. Recent proceedings in the probate and circuit courts of Clackamas coumy indicate that when certain Portland un dertakers get the j ib of burying a man that is unfortunate enough to die in a Portland hospital, effort is made to se cure control of all his possest-ions. 'At least, this appears to be tbe condition when a Clackamas county resident ac cidentally dies in Portland, and Dun ning wants to he appointed administra tor in place of a responsible citizen of Clackamas county, like Mr Jon-rud. A building boom of bns'ness. struct ures on Main street is fairly under way, a condition to be commended. How ever, it is regretted that the proposed new buildinga are not to be erected out of fire proof material. The excellent work of the Oregon City Volunteer tire uepanment tu me past, may give tha builders of wooden structures a fieling oi mncieu security.
