Evipkrok William's recent speeches

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

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

For years a premium of J 500 has been
offered for the solution of the mystery of

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superseded the mechanic, to the detri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

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

But the night so dreary and dark ai.d
At last shall the ra rning bring; long
And over the land the victors' song
Of the ninety and nine i-h.dl ring,
And echo afar, from zone to i ne,

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

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.

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
larg"St sale of any me liciti ) in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grind
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart Failure, etc. They used
Aiwust Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and org.tnic action
of the system, and that iV all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. Yi u only
