President Cleveland gives as his reasons for not calling an extra session of congress that it would prevent a return ol prosperity now pending, and besides lie thinks there would be financial legislation discussed and tariff reform suggested that would have a tendency to retard the progress of business. Evidently the real tact of the matter is, Mr. Cleveland well knows that the republican congress on assembling would pass some much needed tariff legislation to refill in a measure the depleted national treasury. Mr. Cleveland, too, is financier enough to know tbst this is the only legitimate way for the government to raise money for its! necessary expenses, and he realizes the awkward position he would be placed in as representative of a free trade party to as sent to such a move. He knows full well that by opposing such a move, he would be depriving the treasury of money urgently needed. Mr. Cleveland would like, if possi ble, when be goes out of office, to leave the country in a fair way to return to prosperity under a free trade regime, after promising so much. He is keenly aware that the tide of financial matters are turning toward a partial return of prosperity, and he would like to be able to show to the world that the United Stalen can have tolerable prosperity under free trade rules. It is the only possi ble chance he will have of making a show of redeeming his premises to the country. This is one reason why the president will not call an extra session. Another reason is, be would be placed in a most uncomfort able compromising situation in regard to tarin legislation ; it would be d d if you do, and be d d if you don't. He would receive the condemnation of free trade dem ocrats if be assented to the tariff on foreign goods, certain to be passed by a republican congress, and be would be most severely censured by the republicans and protection democrats for not aiding in the matter of lifting the country out of the slough of de spond, by favoring a direct revenue tarifl. in quality and price to that of the Imported article, ir they would achieve the success they so much deserve. One serious draw back to the success of local manufacturers, is, they do not let outside communities know what they are producing. A manu facturer may make an extraordinary good wagon, one that Is equal in every way to the eastern wagon, and sold nst as cheaply, but if the qualities of this wagon are not advertised outside of the immediate neigh borhood where it is made, the average citl ten who desires a new wagon will purchase one of some make with which he is fa miliar. This rule applies to manufacturers in all lines. If an individual or company re producing a meritorious article of any kind, they must give the public an oppor- tunity to know that fact. Where is there a consumer, who, it tie went to a grocery store, would not preferably purchase a can of Oregon lard in place of the imported ar ticle, if he knew which he was buying? to the summer trnlllc, and orders have Iweii placed for 430,000 feet or bridge timbers and lW.OOO feet of new ties, to be delivered ai fast as they can be sawed out by the mills and put into the track. Many of these bridge timbers are already being placed in position in the structures west or Oorvallii. Experts declare the bridges will be strong enough to carry any of the heavy engines with safety that are in use In the country. Manager Stone and Superintendent Clark expect to have everything in readiness for the summer travel to Yaqulna Hay by the middle of June.

THE GR.1XQE- The Oregon State Grange is in session in this city, and it is pleasing to note Die rep resentative character of the men and wo men who compose that body. They are composed of Oregon's most substantial citi tens, men who stand lush in the estima tion of their fellow men, and whose sugges tions are listened to with marked attention in representative gatherings and councils of county and state. When the grange move ment first swept the country, for awhile It prospered, but when It entered the field ol politics its influence for good began to wane. Finally it partially reorganized on a non-partisan basis, and now flourishes as one of the great fraternal institutions of the world. Through its medium thousands of the best farmers of the country are bound together in ties of fraternal fellowship and obiects of mutual benefit. And, it is neces sary that the agricultural classes should have an organization that is devoted to bet tering their condition, improving their status and for the puriose of co-operation The grange can accomplish much for the producing classes, if Its members will work together with a unity of purpose; but they most stand together and pull for one com mon object. Dissensions should not stand in the way of accomplishing the desired re sults. One drawback to the farmer has been the lack of organized co-operation, and it has been dillicult, even with organization, to unite on a plan of action and stay to gether like people of other vocations. But is to be hoed the grange will accomplish this work for them, for on the proserity of! the farming community depends the pros perity of the city. fun agricultural department lias decided that the peanut is not a nut, but pea. Thus does the present administration grad ually solve problems of great pith and mo ment that were neglected by its republican predecessors. SPIRIT OF TIIBPRKSS. The fact that P. J. Bannon and C. J. Mulkey, who were convicted for conspiring to commit an offense against the United 8tates, are now serving out their terms in the Multnomah county jail, brings to mind the fact that the time has come when ex alted position does not always shield the offender from the punishment he deserves for fraud and violation of bis oath of office. It was long believed that it would be im possible to convict these men of the crimes with which they were charged, on account of position and wealthy and influential backing. Mulkey was a special agent of the IT. 8. government at the time it was alleged he conspired against the government, and the fact that he bad heretofore borne a good uuurauier, anu me lunner lact that he was a brother-in-law of Senator Dolph, gave him a prestige before the court, it was proved that he had violated his trust, and he now lies in the same jail where the ordinary box car trespasser or house-breaker serves out his sentence. Ex-Collector of 'Customs James Lotan. and Seid Back, the wealthy Chinese merchant, have both been found guilty of conspiracy by a jury in the United States court. Much doubt has been ex pressed as to their guilt by both friends and enemies of the accused, and that they are the victims of irresponsible testimony. But if it can be proven by reliable testimony that they are guilty of the crimes charged, by all means, let them suffer the penalty for their misdeeds, the same as any ordinary citizen. It is high time that the youth of thecountry were learning that men of position and wealth cannot criminally violate the laws of the land and go "scot free." Now is the time to inculcate one of the first lessons of good citizenship in the minds of thecoming generation that of honesty in public office. Waves of prosperity and financial de pression in the United States run from east lowest. When the financial panic struck the Eastern states it was several months be fore the wave was felt on this Coast. Al ready there are most favorable indications of returning proserity, and the advance of wheat is followed by twenty-two other arti cles of every day consumption. This is an indisputable proof of a reaction from the trade depression that has resulted so disas trously to the country, and caused populist crania to assert mat the country was going to the eternal " bow-wows." The twenty three articles that have shown marked ad vance during the past week, include hides, shoes, leather, Bessemer pig iron, steel bil lets, nails, bar Iron, coper, zinc, wheat, In dian corn, oats, pork, lard, Hour, coffee, cotton, naval stores, potatoes, poultry and butter. The tone of the iron and steel mar kets is the strongest since the depression of l(91-&4. The advance in wheat is already being felt in Oregon, and it may safely be asserted that the grinding forces of the panic are practically over. Many of the factories in the East that were shut down have started up on full time and are now paying better wages thin at any time since the financial paric struck the Eastern states like a cyclone. The dispatches announce daily the fact that new industries are start ing up, and the wave Is coming this way, it will soon strike Oregon. Advanced prices for articles of consumption and every day use means a demand for these goods, and better wages and more work for the laborer. These two years are the only ones since 18G5 in which year the civil war closed in which the government had to face a defi ciency. The protective system furnished abundant revenues, not only to meet the regular expenses of the government, but to pay of! the bonded debt steadily. But the democratic party, which has always upheld unsound politics, could not let well enough alone. It preached free trade theories until it misled the voters intogivingitfull power; and we now see the fallacy of its theories and its incompetency to handle the nation's financial business, in about twenty-two months it has created a deficiency of over 120 million dollars; it has increased the bonded debt of thecountry by fl5ti,O0O,O0O, and saddled nearly six million dollars of interest per year upon the people. How can such a party ask the voters of the nation to continue it in power? The matter of encouraging home manu factures is being universally discussed all over the states, and it is important that the use and consumption of domestic products should be the rule. The people generally are willing to patronize home manufactured goods when they can get the same quality of goods at something near the same price ol the eastern article, in these days of financial depression, consumers and ordin ary people are compelled to make every dollar go as tar as possible, but they are willing to give domestic goods the prefer ence. It is important, therefore, that do mestic manufacturers produce articles equal That individual whose soul would not be stirred with the fire of patriotism or love of country, on an occasion, when solemn serv ices are held in memory of the brave men who laid down their lives that their coun try might be saved, does not deserve to be called an American citizen. It is well that memorial services are held and the graves of the dead are decorated once a year. It I renews our latent patriotism, and inspires the young with a reverence for the flag, and the duties of citizenship that will soon de volve upon them as citizens of this com monwealth. The custom of strewing flow ers on the graves of the dead once a year, is a beautiful one and brings out the best side of humanity's nature, and inspires a love of reverence for the dead. They have caught a man in Indiana who has married nine women, one of whom he married twice. The one he married twice was first and last, and consequently he is in a oosition to answer her that she is the only woman he ever loved. He is considered a competent witness on the question if mar riage is a failure The Oregon Central 4 Eastern E. R. Co., (formerly Oregon Pacific), are making ex tensive repairs on their road preparatory The Seattle Post-Intelligencer in speaking or new electrical inventions has the follow ing: "The Hartford Times says an Inven lion has been perfected In that city by which an ordinary coal Ore, without the eld of dy namo or battery, will supply all the electrical light and power that could be desired In household. The generator, which resembles a cheap stove, Is said to have supplied MO-volt current for the last three years, op eratiug a pump and running other machin ery, and is still as good as new. Five ordi nary incandescent lamps, it is stated, are maintained at a cost in consumption of coal of 1 cent an hour. The device Involves the union of two metals in a multiplication wedge-shaped bits of alloy, with various ap pliances to avoid oxidization. Full oonll dence is expressed by the Hartford paer in the practical success of the Invention, which has the support of some of the leading bus- mess men or that city. The Salem Journal savs that "the last performance or the railroad commissioners was to haul up their Pullman palace train with colored waiters and a few corporation lackeys, at a little backwoods station and hold a dance. These beneficial services to the taxpayers and the impression made by the whole grand outfit Uihmi the poverty sincaen people 01 a small country town no doubt got to the ears or Judge Hewitt in tune to secure Colonel Eddy a verdict." As matter of fact Judge Hewitt had not heard of the dance and colored waiters, which about illustrates the use of the commission; bat be had heard w hat the law in such cases is and be rendered a decision that will no doubt be confirmed by the supreme court, as much as it is to be regretted. Notwithstanding the joint meetings of the two committees from the Oregon and Washington legislatures last winter, the fish regulations of the two states are al variance, according to the Vancouver Columbian: "turning down '.he Columbia river on Sun day the various fish wheels, nets and gear ing present an unusual appearance. On the Oregon side of the river everything is quiet ami still; the lish-wheels are lilted out of the water and nets are hung up tu dry, while on the Washington side all is life and bustle just the same as any other day in the week. This thought naturally forces It self forward: If fishing on Sunday is in imical to future interests, the Washington side should shut down; it not, Oregon men who have thousands of dollars invested in various kinds ol gearing should enjoy like privileges with their neighbors across the river. The two states ought to agree upon a line or action or policy beneficial to the fu ture of the salmon fishing industry, but er haps they diller in their opinions as to just what that policy should be. At any rate for the present, the stale of Washington, at least its fishermen, have the better of It." The people of Barlow have their creamery in complete working order, ami The Three Sisters explaines how the business is ban died. The factory is complete with needed requirements, and is capable of handling the milk from COO cows: "A present J. A fielson is the butter-maker and in his selection the board secured thoroughly competent man, who will turn out a quality of butter second to none. The method of handling milk is to makeup milk for stockholders and outsiders, charging fou cents per pound of butter, patrons getting the skim milk and buttermilk back. The milk is all tested with a Hancock tester by a committee of patrons and the results of the teat govern the distribution of the butler money. Milk that will test 4 per cent about the average and will produce 4.44 pounds of butter to the hundred pounds of milk. The quality of milk depends on the grade of cows and the quality and quantity of feed furnished. Hazel brush and oak grubs do not produce cither much milk or rich milk; but clover hay, ground grain, en silage, etc., produce both quality and quan tity of milk and yield a good profit for the farmers. Cows are much like machines and should be used to condense your grain and bay into milk." Anyone who has traveled through Oregon has noticed the prevalent practice of leaving machinery of all kinds out of doors, and the Oregonian thus handles the subject: "One of the blessings of hard times will he to teach Oregon farmers the economy of housing im plements. It used to be a common, thing for the traveler through Eastern Oregon or the Willamette valley to see farm machinery of all kinds, expensive harvesters and threshers, plows and all the ordinary imple ments, standing in the field, left where they were last used, usually without shelter from the elements. It was a common thing for the owner of large wheat and corn fields to buy new machinery in the spring or at har vest time, use it one season, leave it where used, and, when the next season came round, find it in no condition for use without con siderable repairs. In such cases the farmer was very apt to trade off his machines for new ones, paying a large bonus, and often mortgaging them for all or part of the pur chase money. Hard times is teaching the lesson ol care for Implements, just as it is enforcing the diversification ol crops. The great thing to bear in mind is that the care of Implements and the diversification of crops are not merely expedients for bard times, but essentials of a sound system of agricultural economics.
