Tha Katie; Drunkard Cure The bichloride-of-gold cure for the drink habil appear to be nuking rapid headway in spite of the doubting 'looiuaaws wha will not eiviiit it ith much merit. Dr. Keeley, its discoverer, has for a number of Yean tx en treating drunk&nts at his institution in the little town of Pwiyht, Illinois, and bis siuvess appears to have been snlllciently complete to warrant hearty commendation. The Keeley cure has recently been broitKht ii.to special prominence by theeflortsof the l liic.ijw Tribune and tiie Sew York fun to n ake known to those au tiering from alco holism the relief possible to them. During the discussion of the subject strong testi mony to the trreat value of the bichloride- ol'-gold treatiiieuthas been offered in abuud-I ance, by men who have been cured of the drink habit for years and by thw more re cently treated. It does not apar to be an infallible remedy but in the grvat majtirity of cases it setms to have been entirely suc cessful. The craving for alcohol is a disease which the Keeley cure eradicates. It prom ises to be the greatest boon the medical profession has given tociviluation since Jen tier's discovery of the vaccination prevent ive of small pox. The world is greatly in need of a cure for drunkenness. The doctors affect to discredit the efficacy of the Keeley cure. They say if it has merit it should be given to the world so that the medical profession may take it up im mediately, and that, failing or refusing to disclose the composition of his medicine, Dr. Keeley comes dangerously near being a quack. At any rate, somehow or other, the ethics of the profession prevent the recognition ol" Dr. Keeley's bichloride-of-gold cure as baring special merit so long as he does not share his discovery with his brethren. But the world will care precious little for the niceties of professional eUiice if this cure shall stand the test of time as an emancipator of rum -shackled humanity. will B counumtd per annum where not a pound haa been taken for ten years.

On th coutrary I have cor dially aupported It era.- sine II waa perfected by the tuaertlon el the reciprocity elauae. It is coming to be recognised that reci procity oilers tli true solution of th prob lem of customs taxation. V do not 0nn our markets toother nations unless they give our producers an enlarged market, and when that is given the gain is in every in stance two (old better market and chear imported necessities ithout sacrificing the protective principle for our manufactories, Country Roads and the Farmer. Dne of the difficulties which farmers of 'the North Pacific coast labor under is the necessity for aoing the year's work in little more than half a year. That is, Instead of !ing able to devote their whole time during the growing season to tilling the soil and caring for crops they must also market their produce during that time. The nature of the soil together with our wet winter climate makes the generality of country roads all but impassable (or about four months of the year. This virtual loss of one-third of tbe year is a serious one to the (armer, but it is one that may be avoided. To provide good roads will selve the question. Instead of steep bills and deep mud it is possible to have easy grades and a hard graveled surface to travel over. Then the farmer would not be forced to the alternative of marketing his grain before the wet season or letting it lie over till the next year. He could draw it to market whenever it should suit his con venience, or when the price should be high est. He would gain not only in being able to choose his own time (or marketing his produce, but also by being able to devote his attention to his farm during the full season when it needs him. There is no other improvement that would have so important an influence in bettering the condition of Clackamas county farmers as the building of good roads to the county seat. To establish a special sub treasury here would not compare with the benefit of having good roads; and good wagou roads in farming sections will not wreck the finances of the country either. It is not an expensive job to put Clackamas roads indecent condition. The soil every where is good enough for the foundation. All that needs to be done is to grade the road lied properly and then put on a coat of jrraiel which is easily obtained in all part-! of the county. A few thousand dol lars exinded in this work would yield immense returns. Reciprocity and Trade Expansion. The effort of free-trade democratic jour nals to prove that reciprocity under the United ritates tarilflaw is a failure are quite amusing. The new American agreement with Gurniany whereby American wheat, corn end pork are admitted to thatcountry under special concessions as to Import duty in return for the admission of German beet sugar under similar concessions from the United States is decried by that Bpecies of dem K-rnts, who claim that the only benefit results to a few pork and grain raisers of this country and the sugar producers of Ger many. As a mattcrof fact the pork and grain raisrsof this country are considerably more than a " few," and to open such a market as Geimatiy to their products is an advan tag" St".-!' as is seldom obtained. This ar- rann jinciit works both ways to the benefit of tuc Ai-ieiican farmurs it enlarges their marUi-iaJ consequently gives them bettor No More Cheap (train. " I make the prediction," said John VV. IWkwalU'r to a Chiraro reporter recently, " Hint the I'hitcd Stales has seen the lowest prices (or grain and for the farming lands which produce it during the last half of the last decade it will ever see in the history of the nation. I should not be surprised to see wheat sell as high asll.SO per bushel on th New York produce exchange in some of th (lurries in price w hich are bound to be of frequent occurrence between this time and the first of next Januarv." The reasons on which Mr. Bookwalter bae3 the foregoing prediction have been deeply thought out. In a trip around the world some years ago as a political econo mist, he made an exhaustive study of the resources ol the grain producing; countries and of the probable growth o( their future production. He paid especial attention to the wheat fields of India aud hia views on the production of wheat in that country have attracted wide attention and uiscus sion. He has come to the conclusion that all agricultural values must increase from now on by carefully looking at the subject in all possible views and in the light ol the latest attainable statistics. Hia reasons pos ses peculiar force and freshness. The enormous agricultural development of the I'nited States took place chiefly be tween 1870 and l.!0. The grain raising of the United States increased so much faster than the world's demand that the market became in a measure glutted and prices sank to a figure ruinously low. The growth ot the grain fields of Wisconsin, Minneso ta, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and tbe Dako ta was chiefly during the period from 1X70 to 1.SM). There is no similar tract in the world now remaining unoccupied, and aa this area has about reached its limit of pro duction the world's demands will soon over take it. West of the Rockies there will be increased production for a number of years, but the increased consumption will keep pace withit. The population of the Unite.! ritates is growing about a million and a half a year, and to meet this 2,(X),0uO acres of corn and 1,000,000 acres of wheat must an nually be added to the grain acreage of the country, assuming that there will be no de terioration in the fields now under cultiva tion." ! There is a world of suggestion In Mr. Bookmaker's remarks. This country now raises surplus breadstufls enough to feed 5,000,000 people about a quarter as many as it was able to Iced a few years ago before home consumption increased so enormous ly. Present indications are that it will not be many years before we shall need for domestic use every bushel of grain we raise. This line of argument oens up a vista of immense possibilities for the American farmer. It is worth thinking about. The EHTiaraisi does not with to impose any unnecessary restrictions upon its con temporaries as to the use of matter from its columns, but in the interest of truth two or three things will bear speaking of. The Oregonian in adapting matter from Tux Kntihprisc for its Note and Comment col umn did not revise it with sufficient care and so it erred last Sunday in making Mr. S. W. Moss, one of Oregon City's historic charac ters, appear as a resident of Portland. The Wasco 8un took a comparative statement of prices for school books prevailing in Iowa and Minnesota, compiled and published by tbe Ertebrisx, and in the effort to make Iowa prices those of Oregon twisted the matter so that they did not truly repre sent either. Iowa and Minnesota are ad joining states, and a comparison of their prices locates the cause of the dill'erence between them in the methods by which school books are provided. Legitimate causes operate to make school books justly higher in Oregon than in Minnesota, so a bald com parison between these twoisof no particular value. As a matter of fact the books are not appreciably higher-priced here than in Iowa. Nor is it true that it costs four times as much to provide the Oregon child with books from the primary to the high school aa it does to similarly equip the Minnesota pupil. Then the Eugene Register clips from the Ektkhphibb and credits to another pajier, and the Junction Times steals out right. The Halem Journal is another par caught filching its editorial opinions bodily from the Entebpbibk. Careful editing should have prevented all these errors. tended that time should be glvcitoow-owiiera to make such disposition of thalr animal that they could comply with th require ment.' of th ordinance w ithout unnecessary hardship. At no Uuodld there develop ob jection to thla manifestly fair contention, and at th time the llnal vole was taken there was a tacit understanding that the measure should not take ellccl till the ex piration of thirty or aixly days. It was only after the passajre of th ordinance last week that it w as found impracticable, if not Impossible, to legally suspend itt oeratlon. Rut It was better that the law should exist even In audi drcumataucrsthan to tail a to gvther, and lid la why there was such gen era! satisfaction becanseof llapaasage. The veto la lo b regretted only because It sua petuls final action In the matter. There is no cause ft) drop th rase now. The post lion of every councilman upon th question haa been made known and the defeated or dinance eoreoled In th single particular of th lime it shall take effect must receive th assent of a majority of thecouucilmen and mayor when brought upaxain for action. " Tat mob In the United 8tals considers that It possesses powers and privileges over which the law haa no control," ficlaima the staid Victoria Colonist.

The failure of the cow ordinance through the veto of the mayor is to lie regretted. Htill it must be admitted that there was rea son In the objections stated in the veto mes sage and by some of the councilmeii.

It is, to be hoped that the young re publicans ol Massachusetts will keep single or marry girls of their own party. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Pennsylva nia, of course, will go republican this year. Tbe democrats have no wore expectation of carrying it than they have of securing Ver mont next year. This means that the Pat tison presidential boom will strike a snag on November 3d. Pittsburg Despatch : England and Italy are strengthening their fleets in Chinese waters with the obvious intention of bring ing what is called moral influence to bear on the moon-eyed heathen. Is it possible that the enlargement of the American naval forces there does not seem to the European powers to be sufficient to bring the Chinese empire to terms? Chicago News: The English torics arc encouraging the labor leaders to revolt against the liberal platform because it does not go far enough to suit advanced theories of labor reform. This is coolly impudent, seeing that the laborilcs can win no conces sions at all from the tories. But this is a sample of '-smart" politics in which, as usual, the wolf is preparing to make a mor sel of the silly lamb. Omaha World-Herald: If there be any thing in Mr, ltlain's effort to develop trade with the Houth American countries it is evident that the co-operation and aid of popular United Mtates representatives are absolutely essential for that purpose, and it Is very probable that the state department will not be disposed U Imperil the prospects for promoting American Interests in Chile by retaining so obnoxious a minister as Patrick Egan has turned out to be. New York CemmcrclaJ Advertiser: At a recent conference of German princes at which Emperor William was present the question was asked whether it was wise to allow a recognized enemy to complete prep aration! for war or to force a conflict before these preparations were completed. Empe ror William is reported to have taken a con servative position. Tho value attached to peace by this young man indicates clearly that he has begun to realize the profound wisdom of Blsmark's policy. ITEMS . 0FBARLQW. ' 1.AKUK WOWI.
