After having conferred with leading re publicans from all parti of the state. Sena tor McBrideand Congressmen Tongue and Ellis recommended to the president the ap point of T. T. Geer to be register of the United States land office at Oregon City, Z. Howser to be Cnited States marshal, John Hall for United States district attorney, and Col. 0.0. Summers appraiser in the custom booie. While there were a host of applicants, many ol toem being leading men of the atate, yet it is the general opinion of repub licans that our congressional delegation, while contending with a difficult problem, for each applicant had influential backing and could not be easily cast aside, made good selections and that they gave fair recognition to all parts of the state. Colonel Summers is one of the leading business men of Portland and bis appoint ment as appraiser is especially pleasing to the business men of that city, while the G. A. R. and National guardsmen are gratified that one of their number should have been a honored. Z. Howser is now serving bis third term as sherill ol Umatilla county and be is a man qualified in every respect to discharge the duties of marshal in a manner that will reflect credit upon himself and honor upon bis party. John Hall is one of the leading attorneys of Portland and pos sesses every qualification for so important an office as United States district attorney In making the appointment for register of the land office in this city the farmers were recognized, Mr. Geer being a leading farmer of Macleay, Marion county, an occupation which he has followed since his boyhood days, being born and raised on the farm adjoining the one he now owns, Mr. Geer is a roan of tine literary attainments and is an orator of considerable force and , ability. His .able and effective speeches in behalf of the republican party during the campaigns of recent years have made him many warm friends In tbe party woo are pleased to see bis services so handsomely recognized. His party friends and his former friends of all parties would have been pleased to see bim obtain the office of col lector of customs, but as that office may not be tilled for some time to come, they are glad that the office of register of the land office,, paying as it does a salary of about $3,000 per year, has been otlered him. Mr. Geer's friends who were disappointed at bis failure to receive any recognition at the bands of his party or tbe state officers two years ago, will heartily congratulate him on tbe appoint ment which will be quite sure to follow the action of tbe delegation. This appointment of Mr. Geer recalls the fact that another presidential elector, who has been foremost among oar campaign speakers for many years, has also received good appointment upon the request of our present delegation in congress. Every body who knows Hon. John F. Caples, the "Old Man Eloquent" of the republican party, rejoiced when he received the ap pointment of consul at Valparaiso, an office which pays about tbe same as tbe register abip f3,0O0 a year. Our leading republi' can speakers and presidential electors have not always received as lucrative appoint ments as have fallen to Messrs Geer and Caples. Tub failure to secure to a Clackamas county man the registership of the land office in this city is a lesson tbe republicans should heed. There is but little doubt but had the republicans of this county been able to have laid aside their differences and made a determined pull for any one man his appointment would have been almost certain, for the congressional delegation would have beetled their demands. But they were all split up into factions, and the Appointment of any one of the many appli cants would have aroused the hostility of the other factions, so the delegation thought test to ignore all the aspirants and give the appointment to an outside man. Clacka mas county, while being the third largest county in the state in size of republican vote and its delegation is the second largest in the congressional convention and third largest in the state conventions, yet this county has never tpcurrtl an Important late oilier. Ami the county never will e cure reoognillon to Ioiir as the spirit or jealousy and discord is domlnnnt and the rvimblicana are spill up into tactions, Whenever party unity ran be had there will be no rillllculty in the republicans or this county securing the recognition they are entitled to and of their becoming a pow er in state politics as counties now are with less than one third of our vote. Tin high taritf and reciprocity features of the Pingley tarill bill am already begin ning lo exert a benelicial effect upon our foreign commerce. Argentina is leeling the loss of the market in the United States for Its wool and hides and is trying to de vise a plan to regain our markets. Some of the hot heads backed by English advice are advocating a retaliatory tariff on the part of Argentina, while the conservative element favors accepting the reciprocity clause of our tariff law and by allowing free access to tbe Americans to their market gain free access to our market for their products. Heretofore the United States has taken more coffee, rubber, wool, hides, etc., from the countries of South America than has any one European coun try, yet these countries made the majority of their purchases in Europe, b Ing shrewd enough to sell their products in our high-priced market and to make their purchases in the cheap markets of England and other European countries. Under this system the balance of trade was continu ally against us with South America and a steady stream of gold was sent to those countries to pay for products that should have been met with an exchange for our goods. Had not Cleveland's free trade bill supplanted the McKinley tariff, Blaine's reciprocity treaties would have by this time given the United States full con trol of the Mexican and South American markets. Whili the rain and wind of tbe last two weeks have been unprecedented in tbe 25 years since tbe United States weather bureau bas been keeping a record of Oregon weather, the damage it has done to wheat, bops and fruit bas been quite serious yet only in a few instances, so far as reports come in, has the loss been extra heavy on any one farmer. Some wheat and oats that was left out in the shock has sprouted, and in a few hop fields the mould and lice have made such headway as to ruin tbe crop While it is the rule for August to be a dry month here in Oregon.yet this storm should teach our farmers not to take so many chances, especially with their grain crop. Had the grain been in properly built stacks instead of out in the field, but little damage would have been done to it. But the Ore gon farmers will go along in tbeir good old way, trusting to luck and the hope that their wheat will not get caught out in another storm, not for several years to come at least, and will take comfort in the fact that the ground Is so thoroughly wet down that they will be able to get an un usually large acarage to wheat this fall and that the late potatoes will be a big crop. GisiBAt, Coziv, he who led the common-weal army of tramps to Washington a few years ago, was nominated some time tince for Governor of Ohio on the populist ticket and now this devoted patriot bas fallen into disrepute, for recent events show that be bas come under the boodle "influ ence" of one of the republican bosses in that state, as did our immortal I" Ren come under tbe subtle "influence" of Joseph, whose surname is Simon. BP1K1T OF THE PRESS. The Corvallis Gazette in the following administers one of the best rebukes that has vet been given to the Oregonian for its unwarranted and unptriotic attacks upon Oregon's delegation in congress as well as for its unscrupulous efforts in trying to bring discord into tbe republican party throughout the state: With the single exception of J. N. Dolph, Oregon has not bad a representative in the national congress for years whose influence and ability the leading paper ol the state has not attempted to belittle and destroy. Tbe Oregonian is tbe only Oregon newspa per that circulates to any extent outside of the state, and it is a power for evil misrep resenting public sentiment. Oregon's dele gallon bas bad to fight for Oregon against tbe opposition of Oregon's leading journal. The delegation is now conferring with the republicans of tbe state on the matter of federal appointment. There are offices to be filled and it is the duty of the members of the delegation to recommend men to the president for appointment. They wish to make such selections as are best for the public service and best for the party. They invite advice and confer frankly and openly with any reliable citizen. There is nothing improper in this, nothing undignified or dishonest Yet the Oregonian, through its embittered, malignant editor and its men dacious reporters misrepresents this con' ference and seeks to discredit the motives of Senator McBride and Congressmen Tongue and Ellis. There is no wild scramble at Portland; no revilings between candidates; no treacher ous dealings that threaten party disruption, Men who are seeking appointments present their claims and endorsements as strongly as they can. Local leaders tender their sug gestions. Tbe delegation weighs carefully what is offered them and will make selec tions intelligently and honestly. There are bound to be disappointments, but the fierce and Jealous strife that the Oregonian at tempts to depict does not exist. The de cision of the delegation will be accepted as tbe decision of the most competent judgeB of what is really best. The Oregonian sneers at the candidates, apparently forgetful of the fact that Its edi tor was one of tbe "bogs with their noses in tbe public swill tub," until relieved for reasons, that, with more charity than the Oregonian ever manifests, we will not mention, Tbe Oregonian bas intentionally given out the impression that Senator McBride is n feeble health and was rarely present during the session of the senate. That paper has every opportunity to ascertain the fact that 'the senate had no harder worker than Oregon's repre sentative, and that out of a continuous ses sion of seven month he was ahstnt but seven days- a rare record. Congressmen Tongue and Ellis have been efficiently active In behalf of the state, and they are recognised as capable, Inllticuliul member. The Oregonian choose, how ever to rail at them and their work. This Is more than ill temper. It Is mischievous ill temper, and naturally hampers the gen tlemen who represent the state at Washing ton City. The Oregonian is one of tho great journals of the nation. Editorially, its ability is surpassed by none. It Is Its position that makes its blind devotion to the nasty cause of Siinonisni so damag ing to the state and so deplored by thought ful citiiens. While churches and secret societies are the greatest of all factors in bringing about the brotherhood of man, yet their very number when Increased beyond what can be sustained in good working order Is a handicap to their work, as is shown by the following from the Polk County Itemiter: The multiplicity of churches, sec red soc! el les and fraternal orders in the land bas gone far beyond the profitable limit. union there is strength, but scattered forces and scattered energies always re stilt in a waste of strength. Almost with out exception In the cities and larger town of every state are more churches and more societies than do or can prosper. If half of them were wiped out of existence and all membership transferred to the others, not many ol them would be overcrowded, and II the added workers and financial soport were utilized they would become more In terestlng, stronger anil more useful. Even so small a town as Pallas is overdone In botb directions. The open season for game Is also the open season for hostilities between the hunters and the farmers. Of this hiatus war tbe Junction City Times has the fol lowing to say: If farmers desire to protect their fences, grain and wounding of slock from the scores of imported hunters, they must organize for mutual protection. We do not mean that home hunters should be shut out as but few farmers forbid hunters from trespassing if permission is asked Complaint Is already heard of gates left open, stock punctured with shot, and other things so annoying to farmers, and the sea son nas only commenced, common cour tesy demands that permission be granted before entering a farm. Then the farmer will know who Is on his premise and ir damage is done he will know who is respon sible. And on the other hand the hunter will realize that the farmer knows he is on bis premises and will be careful and reapon sible for any overt act.
