(.VsnmcssMAN Hekmakn has introduced joint resolution abrogating the I'liivton Uulwer treaty, between the I'nited Slates and Great llritaiti. This treaty long since became obsolete, and changed conditions have made it inoperative as far as any ben etit it may bring to (he I' lined States, while on the contrary it enables Knglaud to haul ier our control of the Nicaragua canal. The exclusive ownership and control of the Nicaragua canal is absolutely necessary to the commercial grow th of the I'nited states, besides it is a most important link in our coast defenses, and congress should not hes itate to abolish this treaty if it is going to prevent our controlling the canal. K.ViUNn expects ibat its census to be laken next year will show that Great Brit ain has at last passed France In population, though its area is but little more than half as great. The population of France in lsjll was SftXlW and of Great Britain 37.8SS. 153. The birth rate in France has been tin salisfaclorv for years, while lhat in Great Britain is comparatively large and increas ing, lint (lit uay is not distant when (he I'nileJ States will have a population e.ual to that of Great Britain and France combined. prehensive understanding of fnrm opera tions.

For the young nomen ot the laiully, a good work on do mestic economy, one on cooklngmid a third on floriculture ran he profitably studied, Music need not be neglected, but the prac tical affairs of the home should be given a generous share nt the leisure moments. The Jug-handle trade relations that the Cleveland administration has established between tha i'nited Slates and Knglaml Is clearly set forth in the following from the London Financial News, the leading Kng lish financial paper: Practically every penny that was subscribed here toward the recent American loan has been got hack through the expansion in (he exports of woolens and worsteds; hut the Tinted States has not confined her Increased purchases to those articles. , . . On the other hand we have paid a good deal less for American wheat, flour, bacon, hams, cheese, tallow ami cotton, to mention only (hose articles in which the contraction is most apparent. MOLALLA -.-AVENUE War is inevitable between the I'nited Plates and England. Nations are like in dividuals: where there is constant friction, rivalries and mutual jealousies, a collision is sure to eventually take place. These dif- lerences between the two countries have ex isted almost from the first settlement m America, and were the chief cause of the revolution. The English have always con sidered the Americans as their inferiors, and are always free to express their con tempt of America and her people at all times and in all places. It seems to further exasperate them against us to find that they cannot run over and bully us about as they do two-thirds the people of the w orld. The Americans are equally as free in their re sentment of these contined insults, and time only adds to the hatred rather than cools it between the two nations. It may be a year, and it may be twenty years, before this war comes, but come it will, for it appears to be a part of the des tiny of nations. Such a contlicf, while it 'would be a terrific one, and a long one, would be the means of advancing the pro gress of the English speaking people. In fact all the world would feel the effects of it as it did the effects of (he Napoleonic wars. It would solidify and Americanize America, and it would break down the feudalism and aristocracy that hampers and oppresses the English people; while to the rest of the world it would bring such a change in po litical and social conditions as would ad-Tanc-) the cause of liberty and progress more than two decades of peace would do. A perfect bowl has gone up from all England in protest against the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine by the I'nited Slates. The other nations of Europe, with the exception of Kussiaami France, have to a greater or less degree protested against the president's message, these powe.s re- niaming discreetly silent. Their motive is easily to tie seen. Neither has any vital in teres! on the American continent and both could profit by having England's hands lied in a war with the I'nited Slates. Thi republican national committee has issued its formal call for the assembling of the republican national convention at St. Louis on the lGth day of June, 1896. The invitation is " to republican electors in the several states and territories, and voters, without regard to past political affiliations, who believe in republican principles and endorse the republican policy." The con vention, on the usual apportionment will consist of double the number of senators and representatives, with four delegates from each territory, and the district of Co lombia in addition. This will give a total of 824 delegates, of whom 90 will be senator al delegates, required to be chosen by pop alar state conventions called on 20 days public notice, and not less than 30 days before the meeting of the national conven tion. The state district delegates are re quired to be chosen br the same method as congressmen are nominated. An alternate delegate, who is to act in the absence of the uational delegate, is also to be elected in the same manner. This !! make, dele gates and alternates, a body of l.fXS men holding official relations to the convention Okkoon City has always kept to the front in all that goes to make a live town, and not to be out of the held of sports has organized (wo foot ball teams. Ther are not snide coonlrv teams, either; and a team could be made up mini the two that could put up a still g ime against any ef (he college teams of the state. In their game on Christmas the Boys showed that they were ni'ide of the stuff that is in the crack teams, an I we may yet see the championship of Oregon held by an Oregon City team. The high tarill bill to be introduced in congress this week should pass at once, and President Cleveland should, if he is consist ent in his Americanism, sign it at once. The English have been trying to break us down financially, (heir latest etfurt in (bis line being to create a panic in our stocks to punish us for daring to uphold the Monroe doctrine, and it is our time to retaliate. A high tariff for the I'nited States would hurt England half as much as a war with this country. Senator Mitchell has again introduced his bill providing for an amendment to (be constitution whereby senators will be elected direct by the people. This bill will meet (he fate of (hose that have preceded it, but the lime will come when it will become a law. lor popular sentiment is growing in favor of the amendment and its Influence will yet be felt even in so conservative a body as the United States senate. The farmers of (his country may think (hat (be new tariff law benefits them, butall (lie same the imports of live animals in creased 20 per ceut., (hose of eggs 1 10 per cent.; Max, 140 per cent. ; leathers, 220 per cent. ;hav, 100 per cent. ;hemp, 140 percent. hides, 140 per cent.; seeds, over 200 per cent., and wool, over 400 ier cent. The ex ports have fallen off from 10 to 50 percent. 8P1EIT OF THE PRESS War with the United States would leave England a second-rate power. To cope with (his country would require all her strength and resources leaving her unable to control the multitude of interests she has scattered over the globe. Russia would be sure to sieze Constantinople and encourage the Egyptians to throw off the English pro tectorate, thus causing England to lose con trol of the Mediterranean and of her highway through the 8uez canal to India. Russia would also be sure to occupy coveted strat egic points on the Indian border and to push her conquests on the Chinese frontier. France would seize Malta if encouraged by Russia, and Spain might recover Oibralter. England would lose all her American pos sessions, those on the northern continent ailing into the hands of the United States, and those in South America to the adjoin ingcountries. Her commerce would be ru ined, and with ber strategetic strongholds j josr, ami most or ner colonies gone, Eng land would drop like Holland and Spain to a second-rate power. If a bond issue to save the government from linanual ruin is necessary, and con gress authorizes one, a radical change should he made in the manner of disposing of the bonds. Instead of being in big de nominations and sold to English buyers at lb-Mr own price, they should he made in small denominations and placed on sale in all the postal money order ofliccs of the country so that the people could take them lip and thus keep the interest money at A newspaper man does not have to ad vertise that he has " marked bis stock way below cost and will sell his stock at a sacn lice,'' says the Heppner Gazette. People seem to know that intuitively. They rush in and get a tree puff and rush out the same way they came in, without even having in tended paying lor (he benefit (hey will re ceive when the paper comes out. Tbey don't seem to think the proprietor is pub lishing his paper to make a living, (he same as they are doing in their business. Step into a store and call lor a spool of thread, a paper of pins, or anything else, no mat ter how insignificant in value, and you would not think of marching out with ' thanks, I'll do as much for you some time." No, no, you plank down the cash or have it charged to your account, no mat ter if it wasn't but two cents. But in all, there are a great many friends of the news papers. It is now the specialist that succeeds in any line of industry, and the farmer to be successful must become a specialist in his line. He must know bow to produce his cropn at the lowest figure, and on which crop he can do the best, and then he must know how and when to sell as well as how to meet the buyers. The business man is constantly studying and planning to better enable him to carry on his business, and the farmer, if he expects to succeed, must abandon his hap hazard ways and become a socialist. The American Agriculturist gives (he following sensible advice on this subject: Every young farmer, if he cannot attend college this winter, ought to lay out a course of reading to be followed when fall work is completed. Besides one or two good agricultural papers there are recent bonks treating of the leading branches of farming that are easily understood, are thoroughly scientific and practical and will be a won- dentil lielpin every duy operations, l-elect ; one on farm crops ami soil, another on dai rying, a third treating of live slock in gene-; ral, a fourth on horticulture, a fifth on pool- i (stand the ( tn , etc. These can all he read through dur ing one winter season and will L'ive a com- Letter List.
