Ox Saturday Mr Putrow left by train
for Han Francisco to purchase two cards
ami two jacks and some minor machinery
for the defunct Pioneer woolen mill.
These addition will Increase the woolen
mill at Oregon City to a 13 set mill, and
by comparison, the hooting and blowing
of the Httlum Statesman aliout tho little
2-set woolen mill in Halem seems simple
and ridiculous. Perhaps the nearness of
the insane asylum Ima a softening t'Uect
on the brain of tho boomer that manages
the Ftatesiiinn. Any truthful, sensible
fellow knows that the only big woolen
mill in Oregon is in f iregon City. All the
others are but auekllnga which jy grow

An Unkvew Exciianob. The Demo

of the robbery of a Eugene store of two
suit of clothes, the robbers having their
old clothe. A description of the clothe
was sent 10 Marshal Hoffman, and Fit-
day Mr Hoffman went to Eugene to In
vestigate the matter, coming home on the

A Fix Coacrrt. One of the largest
and most enthusiastic audiences ever coo-
gregated In Albany greeted the Ju'e
Levy Concert company last Friday. The
partl.-lpant were greeted by a succession
ol encores, wMch always speak for tbe
appreciation of their performance. Mr.
bevy, though only down for four solo, wss
hesrd with delight twelve or fifteen

Ill playing is a msrve! and any one can
not help appreciating the beautiful tone
of hi golden cornet, which fai.ly speaks
ihoe who heard him are now satisfied he

The Indian School. The Salem
Statesman seems to be a chronic growler
at the Indian school and everything about
it, regardless of politics. If vou don't
want It send it up to Albany or Eugene.
The Statesman attacked Ex-Supt. Lee.
Mr Lee Is now In New York city, pretl
dent of a big corporation having seversl
million dollar capital, with a big salary to
hi office. The commissioner of Indian
affairs reported that "In justice to Mr
Lee, it is but due him to ssy that this Is
the model Indian school, and uuder hit

WA Absent-minded. The most ah.

found ; he resides at Upper Astoria, and
started from home for hit place of ouii

way stopped to light a cigar. The wind
blowing in his face, he turned around to
get his light, and then jogged along con
tentedly without noticing the change un
til he brought up at his own dooi. Then
he was mad. Attorlan.
Boasting. The Statesman boasts of
Salem's big cannery, which ha the
small capacity of only about 100,000 cases
a year. It is but a wheelbarrow in
capacity to Oregon City' huge cannery,
wh ich win nave a capacity 01 quo cases

Every farm product that can be raised in
this country ought to be protected by a I riff
on imported farm produce sufficient to give our
farmen all the advantages of our home mar

eign farm produce Inio our market free, The
McKinley bill proposes to give cur farmen more
protection, and that it right.
Thit nonsense ths Chicago Newt sptly hilt

Of courts it it tight. Here srs our wetter

(he market is flooded with English corn. The
price of their wheel will hsrdly pay the cost of
plowing because our importations of Russian,
Iadisn snd F-gyptian wheat are so enormous.
And pork I Just look st ths imports of meat
pork, short fibs, htms, shoulder snd hud! No
wonder the farm of the east are deserted and
those of the west mortgnged.

In nearly all railroad accidents the com.
mon passenger cars are crushed, with
great fatality to life, while sleeping or psr j
lor cara ot heavier construction usually
escape with slight injury. It Is in tne
last that officers of the road are ganeially
found. Probably the extra 'weight of the
sleeping and parlor cars help lo crush In
others, but It does seem as If common cart
should be strengthen as far as possible.
If raljroad official were obliged to ride on
the class of csrs they furnish for common
people, fewer accidents would occur, A
leu harsh remedy would be to asset extra
hesvy damages for losses of life occasioned
by using car especially liable to breakage.
The law limiting the damage for kiiling In
railroad accident to $5000 a life should be
Vepealed.or tbe limit put a good deal higher
than It now is. .

this, the sound is many timet repeated between

Senstor Allison advocates reducing the

last election they propose to insist on pay
ment of their reward through high pro
tective duties.
Wyoming Is the feeblest state we have

flagrant piece of party jobbery. New Mex

Wyoming has or will have for year, and

New Mexico would probably go demo

THE mw THEOLOGY AND IMMOBTAUTT.
We no longer draw any sharp line be
tween this world and the other world
We dismiss ss a part ot the dualism of the
past, the notion of a ''long and dreary
sleep," a fleshy resurrection, and a gsp be
tween the dying and the rising agsin. Life
Is contlouous; Itfe Is one; and death
makes no bresk In It. The loss of an arm
eaves the man unchanged; the other arm
s lost, he Is stilt unchanged; he falls, like
ohn Carter, from a treend dislocate his
neck, and lives for twenty years with no
power of motion ssve In his head ; but he
ia atlll John Carter. Life goes on unin
terrupted. The body drops Into tbe grave
and disintegrates altogether, life stilt
goes on uninterrupted. The dissolution
of the whole body is no more than the dis
solution of any part of It. Tbe dogma that
all hope of repentance neceuarilv end at
the grave, we banish Into the lumber room
hlch hold the other fragment of an
abandoned dualism. Aa man goes out of
our sight, such I he on the other side of
the veil which hides him from us. It is by
no accident that New Theology men,
while many ot them refuse to accept tbe
Andover hypothesis, everywhere, by an
unconsclons agnement, alto refuse to ac
cept the unscriptural dogma of the decisive
nature of this life's probation for every
man; for that dogma belongs to that dual
ism which insist on breaking life Into two
dissevered hemispheres, time and eternity,
this world and the other world. ' We know
no such severance. We are now in eter
nity; this wor d and the other world are
one. D. L Abbott In Forum.
. THETKCSTSARES&FE.
After buffeting, ridiculing snd smending pre-
potterously Senator Sherman's Ami Trust bill
the Republics associates of that statesman
hsve sent II back lo tbe Committee to be
balmed for burial.
One of these Senators Mr Piatt, of Con
necticut told the plain truth In ' saying that
"the conduct of the Senate fur the past three
days had not been la the line of aa honest bill
to prohibit sad punish Trusts. It bad been
ia tbe line of ctitirie some bill with thst title
to go to the country with."
The Republican politicians do not intend to
prevent or to punish Trusts. If they did they
would not discard the most palpable aad potent
remedy tbe withdrawal of thefartff protection
aader hich five six tin of the Trusts organize
sad prosper.
The object of a protective duty ia to erable
the borne producer to charge more for his pro
duct than be would be able to do without it.
If the duty fails in this, protection fails to pro
tect. Tbe combination in a protected indus
try to secure entire control of the home mar
ketin other words to stop aft competition and
make the monopoly complete and effective is
the logic of Protection carried to its full
length.
And this is why the Republican Congress
will do nothing to Forbid Truttr. New York
WotU.
A 8AMPLK STATE.
Yesterdsy the Republican House of Repr
sentatives voted to admit tbe Territory of I
Wyoming to the sisterhood of States. This is
a esse of politics pure and simple.
At the last election Wyoming cast 18,010
votes. Of these votes 4,000 were cast by
women. Under the Congressional apportion
ment we are allowed one Representative in
Congress for a population of 151,91a. In this
State it requires an average of from 30,000 to
45,000 votes to elect a member of Congress,
Yst when Wyoming becomes a State, as she
certainly will under Republican pressure, 14,
000 males voters will be able to tend a Rep
resentative to Congress, while they will have
the same sovereign power in the Senate that I-
320,000 voters of New York possess.
It is proposed to admit Wyoming solely be
cause the Republican party means to strength
en its power in the Senate S3 that it msy not
be dislodged for years. Of all tbe rotten-
borough schemes this is the worst and most
flagrant. It is proper that Territories should
be admitted to the Union the very moment that
they are fit for Statehood, regardless of their
political predilections. Wyoming has no claim
at present, and the Democrats of the House
who protested yesterday deserve commenda
tion.
