The Fanners' Improvement Society
of Texas, consists of Negroes. Its ob
jects: AMitiou of the credit system,
better methods of farming, co-oiwr.i-tiou,
prnjier care of the sick and dead,
improvement and beautifying our
homes.
The effort to unify the conllicting
elements of the local Democratic or
ganization has been partially success
ful, but the union is not yet so tixed in
its apparent iKrmauency as to cause
all tyiK's of Democracy to smile in per
fect harmouv.
llishop Walters' lecent declaration
in the Washington Post to tho Negroes,
was to divide their oten with tho jk
litical paities, especially in tho South.
In order to better their condition, Is
still the chief and red-hot topic of din

The Paris exposition may succeed,
notwithstanding the general prejudice
against the Fieiich style of meting out
justice, .lotteries and Corbett have
arranged to "pull oil" their big "mill"
in "tiay Puree" sometime in U00,
whereat all Franco is shocked.
Sheriff I'razier's friends have begun,
in a most urgent manner, to insist on
his renomiuatiou for the orlico, the du
ties of which he has so faithfully pur
fainted for the past term or two. They
havo reasonable ground for hope that
HlierilV Fiazler will again succeed him
self. Tho city attorney says that the city
hall was not built according to tho
condition of the contract and that the
city has been damaged thereby, lie
wants to sue the contractors for dam
ages. Had municipal laws, dishonest
and careless otlicials and consequent
litigation, is costing the city of Port
laud a whole lot i money.
Tho recently published statement
that a Hopublican slate has boon agreed
upon for Multnomah county is, of
course, untrue. Too many aspirants
foi of 11 co are in the field for such an
uarly agreement. Several blates have
been Hiiggcitud among tbo lay nieinberrf
of the party, but they liave so far been
proposed only as "feu-lorn."
Tlio highwaymen havo gone They
won in a game of two to live. In Han
Franeisco they Hiieeeeded fairly well
for a time. In .Seattle they did u re
munerative businesH. They loft Port
land full-handed. Now they are work
ing the country. They opened the lat
ter programme near Cascade lockH last
week, on their dirpaituro from this city.
President MoKinloy's cabinet and
sub-commissioners got up a fairly read
able messago to congress. It is too
lengthy to road with patience, for there
is entirely too much argument and ro
mancing in it; but on the main points
at issue boforo the country at this time
it is reasonably clear and logical.
There is not much Ilannaism in it after
all.
All kinds of rumors are afloat con
cerning the final coalition of the He
publican elements in this city. In
fact, these reports include the factions
of that party throughout the entire
state. The New Age finds, unhappily,
much reason to believe that there is
little truth in these rumors. The lead
ers of the party are not so widely apart
politically as they are personally.
The organization recently formed to
protect the Interests of i-otitli Portland
proiorty-holders, shows clearly that the
taxpayers are not pleased with the
manner in which public service is be
ing rendered in this city. The tax
payers' league, therefore, is not the
only "anti-jolltlcal" organization in
active business in this city and county
against a regime of faction p.irtiaiiship
which is becoming more and more ob
jectionable as time passes.
A Negro Agricultural colony i now
IhjIiw formed by two vomit: colored
men, who, realizing that the future of
the Nejro lies largely in ttgrieulturo
line-, have purchased n tract of land
in New Jersey, 10 miles from Camden,
for the pnrpo-e. It is proposed to
make a sjecialty of joultry, fruit and
vegetable?, (or market. And each lot
owner, of nhoni there are not to be
more than 12. owning lot; 40x100. is
to mrticijiate in the profits of the en
terprise. Texas has a Negro woman, Jane Hob
iuKn. of Hurison county,
wno weigns
to a progidy

of strength. She is known to have
placed on the plantation where she
works daily pieces of machinery which
five tueu were unable to handle success
fully. A refractory mustang she was
riding refused to carry her oer a
bridge. She got off of his back, se
curely bound his legs together, threw
him across her shoulders and lightly
tripped to the othor side, continued her
journey as if subduing mustangs, after
her iocullar fashion, was an every day
happening.
VIRTUE OF GOOD COFFEE.

The (Hipular beverage throughout
the civilized world is coffee. Next to
cot) co is tea. Hut the coffee produced
from the special roast of Corbitt cc
Maeleay Company, of this city, is, in
reality, the elixir of the cotlce grain.
That company has no competition in
that Hue. Among Its teas, the "Kiisa
lima" leads. It is the finest tea iiu
jKirted. It is a Ceylon tea of oxquis
itoly flue flavor. The Corbett Ar Mae
leay Company make a specialty of this
tea.
In its tea and cottee tho Corbitt cc
Maeleay Company excels. These sta
ple bexeniges are health-giving and
strengthening if pure and properly pro
imrted; they aie hurtful if not so.
The Corbitt A: Maclaey Company has
established reputation for its excellent
teas and coffees, As one of the conse
quences of that reputation it does an
extraordinary business thioughout the
out im Northwest, extending far back
into the iutei -mountain states. Its
profit is a just reward for an excellent
service.
One of the best dentists In the North
west, excepting neither age, experience
nor skill, is Dr. Fred A. Hoisaoher,
with otlleos at 711 Oekuiii building.
His excellent work is especially com

frequent employment of a dentist.
In Cass county, Mich., the Negro
population outnumbers the white two
to one, and are masters of the whole
township. They hold all of the otlleos,
otoaml collect the taxes, build the
school houses, employ their own peo

IU'port of Special Committee.
"Washington, Deo. 5. Appropriate
tribute to tho memory of the. Into Vice
President Hobart was paid by the sen
ate today at its first forsIoh of tho 15(1 th
congress Monday. Tho session lasted
only 8!i minutes, and only tho most
formal ami necessary business was tran
sacted. After tho adoption of tho usual
routine- resolutions and the administra
tion to tho now members of tho oath of
olllco, Sowell (Hep. N. J.) presented
fitting resolutions upon tho death of
tho vice-president, tho resolutions were
ordered to bo communicated to tho
houso of representatives, and the ses
sion, on motion of Kcau (Hep. N. J.)
was suspended.
As usual on tho opening days of con
gress, tho senate chamber was a verita
ble conservatory. Pending tho actual
convention of tlio senate, tho chamber
presented a most animated and pictur
esque scene. The galleries wore filled
with a brilliant and distinguished aud
ience. Two protests were filed, one against
tho seating of Quay and tho other
igainst Clark, of Montana.
In th ii limine.
Washington, Deo. C. Knorinous
crowds witnessed tho opening scenes in
tho house yesterday Tho principal
interest centered in tho disposition of
Hoberts, the Mormon representative
from Utah. Those who anticipated a
sensational dcnoumciit werodisapjtoint
cd. The programme outlined by tho
Hopublican leaders at their conference
Friday night was partially carried out.
The objection to the administration of
tho oath to Hoberts was entered by
Taylor, of Ohio, as predicted, and ho
stepped aside without protest except to
ask if by doing so ho waived any of his
rights. To this tho speaker responded
in the negative. Thero was in it a pro
test from any quarter against the objec
tion to tho administration of tho oath
to Hoberts, but on the contrary tho only
voice raised, except that of Taylor, was
that of Meltae, a Demcorat of Arkan
sas, who joiucd with Taylor in hi- pro
test. Tayler offered his resolution to
refer tho case to a special committee,
and by mutual arrangement the consid
eration of the resolution was postponed
until tomorrow, in order that tho rou
tine business in connection.. with the
organization might bo transacted today.
Although Hoberts was not sworn in
today, ho secured o seat. This was by
an accident, pure and simple. Iu the
seat-drawing lottery, no provision had
lkfi.1T, .i.1.-, (ty l?n1u. rta lint ii-linn tli
lr.iwin;t WftS completed two others, as
well as himself, had not been provided
with seats, and tho scaker asked and
secured from the houso ermlsbion for
thoso members who had not drawn
seats to make such selections as they
could. Under this authority, Hoberts
got a seat in an obscuro ixirtion of the
hall. His daughter sat iu tho gallery
and watched the proceedings from be
ginning to end.
After tho election of Speaker Hen
derson and his induction into office,
the nppolutmcnt-of the usual commit
tees to wait uiwn tho president, tho
M'at-drawln contest, with tho usual
amusing features, went off without a
hitch. Tho only feature out of tho or
dinary was tho reception of the Heed
rules as tho rules for tho present con
gress. They were adopted by a strict
arty vote.
Seldom, if ever, havo such enormous
crowds swarmed around the house to
witness tho opening scenes of tho ses
sion as besieged tho doors today.
Very early iu tho day a monster peti
tion, said 'to consist of 7,000,000
names, piotestiug against tho seating
of Hoberts, was brought into the hall.
It had been collected by the Now York
Journal. It consisted of -'S rolls of
names, each about two feet iu diam
eter, encased iu tho American flag.
These rolls were stacked up in tho area
iu front of tho clerk's desk and wore
viewed with great curiosity.

Tho Neuvo Pais says:
"Tho Americans evidently still be
lieve that tho Cubans are not fit to gov

education, and they still intend to edu

Mr. Hoot does not discuss tho
subject of independence, leaving it
where it was on Jiinunry 1."
Tho Havana Commercial Company is
placing armed guards on its planta

and will apply to Governor-General
Hrooke for an infantry contingent.
Mr. Merryless, tho manager, says:
"Tho company would not go to the
cxpeuso of arming n number of men
unless this was thought necessary for
the protection of its interests. "Wo do
not believe there is any immediato
causo for alarm, but wo do think tint
tho spirit of disaffection is spreading,
