IkWters tw, CHICAGO Rail aaaar Mm aDyTW VstM Mt Mtwuut Tbe business man can make no better resolution than to advertise judiciously and continually, not spasmodically. It psys. Complaint is being made against tbe Oregcn Fruit Union, ol Portland. Re gardless ot the merits of tbe complaints, it is well for fanners to know what tliey are doing when they ship ta a eommis sion house. It is rare that the result is satisfactory. Mitchell wanis a $1,000,000 building erected by the government in Portland and Hermann a HCO.000 building in Salem, and yet they are talking about increasing the tariff in order to get enough money to run the government. Doesn't that make one's bead swim. The best men on both sides of the wa ter are opposed to any war between two peoples who write the language that Milton wrote, and speak tbe same tongue that Shakespeare spose. Salem Post. Yes, but we have bad two since Mil ton and Shakespeare wrote. Had they lived they would not have written as did Salisbury. There's the rub. But, really there should be no war between two people who write as Salisbury and Cleve land. The postage stamp bas a rival. A new device bas recently been adopted by the German postal authorities, which does entirely away with the traditional post age stamp, t or it is substituted a ma chine which registers by dies the time and date of preparing each letter for tbe mail, and marks on the letter the num ber of the person or firm who is using the machine, and also the rate of post age the letter should pay. Each com mercial bouse or individual who makes use of the system bas a mscbice and with it stamps letters as fast as they are sent. At the end of tbe week or month the Iocs I postoffice authorities will fig ure op each customer's account and send him a bill, having provided, in all prob ability, for the payment of it by getting a substantial deposit ahead. Our Two Seasons. In the greater portion of tbe United States the year is divided into four seasons. On tbe Pacific slope bat two seasons are generally used, and they are called tbe wet and tbe dry seasons. The term wet and dry are sot literal, only comparative- Tbe wet season means that rain is probable durng that period, the dry season that little rain is probable. Thedry seaeon covers the months from May to November, the wet season from November to May. During; the dry sea son rain does not fall, during the wet season frequently day after dar is to be kund free from rain and clouds. It is tbe greater probabiatv oi rain, or no rain, rather than the absolute condition that caoses the use of tha term. Upon the rainy or dry season depends also the temperature conditions, and upon these depends tbe vegetation and animal life. Owicg to the character of tbe soil the heat from the tab is rapidly absorbed, and is rapidly radiated, hence the great influence of the clouds, or of a cloudless sky upon the temperature of tbe air. Clouds act aa a covering, hence keep the earth and air warm; a cloudless sky allows of rapid radiation, hence a rapid cooling of the air. These being the pre mises, it can be seen that being protected by tie influence of tbe Rocky mountains from the influence r4 the winter's cold, and being modified by tbe pioiiraity of the ocean, that during the rainy season warmth will prevail ; in the dry season, tbe absence of clouds a.low the earth to receive beat, which in turn, beats the air; tbe sky at night being clear, tbe radiation cools the air, and the nights are cool. . Na matter in w bat part of Oregon you may e, no- matter bow warm the day, the nights are always cool, and tbis is due to the radiation, within the broad confines of Oregon can be found all kinds of climates, ranging from the sun ny hillsides of Italy to tbe frosty regions of Minnesota, from the bumid regions of Alaska to the arid regions of California ; these variations are dne to the topograph' ic features. Statesman. Judge Burnett's Views. Level beaded Judge tturnelt, of Cor- vallis, says on tbe Monroe doctrine sub ject: I assert that every war to a great or less extent involves a question cf bound' ary. Our glo'ious Revolutionary war of 1776 changed the boundary of tbe Brit ish empire, and made their English col onies free and independent states, which today form the great commonwealth known as the United States of America. Tbe war of 1812 was mainly to establish tbe fact that tbe dtck of an American vessel is American territory, and though tbe treaty of Ghent tailed to stipulate against tbe impressment of American seamen, yet for a space of 80 years ves sels floating tbe Sag of the United States bave been secure from such insults a caused the war of 1812. Another advantage gained by Ameri ca was, the recognition of ber naval power. It was no longer doubtful that American sailors were the peers in valor and patriotism of any seamen in the world. It was no small triumph for the republic that her flan should henceforth be honored on every ocean. ' The war with Mexico involved tbe question of boundary, changed the boundaries of tbe United States and Mexico, and gave na Texas and Cali fornia. Tbe war of the rebellion involv ed a question of boundary and resulted in establishing forever the boundary of the United States and destroying that ol 'he Confederate states- It was tbe effort of the 'Spanish gov ernment to reestablieb a boundary so aa to include its revolted colonies in south America, that called forth the Monroe doctrine, and now, if England can, by extending her boundaty line, include a portion of ibe republic of Veutzuela, and to that exter Intend her i)steai of gov ernment over it, is it not as complete a violation of the Monroe doctrine,, as if she extended tier system over the whole of the republic and converted it into a colon j, governed by a monarchy ? All we aek England to do, is to submit to arbitration ibe question of the true boubdary line between British Uuiana aid Venezuela so that the true line may be established, and she not allowed un der the pretense of a boundary question to forcibly establish a monarchy on a republic. II England insists on grab bing a portion of the territory of Vene zuela, she may find trouble in holding British Guiana, which she took from the Dutch in 1803, but was not made a Brit ish colony until 1S31, and that in viola tion of the Monroe doctrine; solcon cludtd that they not only have no right in Venezuela, but none in what is called Biitieb Guiana. San Francisco ia bappy. otber big scandal. She Las an- In the first place Guiana by bog lav. England secured Arbitration, arbitration, arb'tratlon, that is about all one hears nowadays. Russia will be entirely neutral on the Venezuelan Question. The bear is in bis hole. What tin world wants is facts, and that is what a paper should give, though they sometimes hurt. - A gentleman who has been through tbe valley towns a good deal cujs Albany is the ploaaaniest city of all. New Years calls are hardly known in Oregon sow. Fifteen or twenty years ago they were made generally. The great trouble nowadays is that all legislation has a political string to it, very disgusting fact to most people. The Clarion, Portland's new psper is not only elegantly gotten up, but it bas a ring to it that is clear and to the point. Levi P Morton, being an avowed can didate for president, has staled bis opin ion on the Monroe doctrine. Of course, Another street car fctrike is threatened in rniiadeipnia. Anovner enance 10 show your influence, Mr Wanamaker. The rise in wheat is very encouraging, Even two cents is appreciated ; but there is good reason to belitve it will go still higher, not very much though. There was a big increase in the post- office business in Portland tor 18J5 over 1S14. That is certainly a splendid straw showing how things are going there. That is a very lasy, listless war that is going on in Cuba. It is time something decisive was done by tbe insurgents they wish to succeed ; but perhaps theirs is (be Fabian policy. bo it Is declared that James Corbett, the pugilistic is becoming a victim of consumption, and will go like Oempsey, Fitssimmons is yet in good htaltn ; but bis early demise may be predicted. Moat county jails are safe enough; tbe trouble is generally with the jailors. Some of them need horse sense. We have forgotten who tbe sheriff of Doug las county is, but he ought to be made to stay out of bis office until be catchea Sam Brown. Prince Bismark received about 213.000 postal cards from aa many adm'rera con gratulating him on bia eightieth birth day. These cards have a total welgbt of 1320 pounds, and piled up in one col ass would reach a height o,' 150 leet. There is a good deal in style. Yvctta Guilbert, the wonderful vocalist owes ail her success to ber style of doing things, gestures, facial expressions, etc. Her voice is Terr common. So the elocu tionist and vocalists generally bave a great capital in their manners as well as in their voices. Tbe Venezuelan commission bas been appointed. Tbe members will take an outing and visit Venezuela at a big sal ary, take a glance at the asserted bound ary lines, delve into the very bottom cf tne history of British Guiana and Vene zuela, fix upon tbe correct line, come borne, report, and then . Tbe proposed bond bill doesn't suit the Oregon ian. It doesat look yellow enough to suit it. It doesn't suit the Dxmockat either. ' We want to bond bill at all. The legislation needed to re store confidence is that putting the two precious metals on an equality as money 16 to 1, with tbe free coinage of both alike. V,hy not try it and see srhat it would do. Jack rabbits bave become so numerous and troublesome tbis fall in Cassia coun ty, Idaho, that the farmers are organizing round up hunts to lessen tbe number ol tbe pes Is. At a bunt of tbU kind held last week by farmers living near Oak'iey, 5,126 rabbits were rounded up and killed, and two coyotes and a lynx were also caught in the ring. Tbe method followed ia these bunts is for the farmers and their help to spread over a large section of country, form a ring, and then work towards the centre, wbere they are killed with clubs. An interesting story comes from Wil liamsport, fa., about a woman who is a victim of coffee. Dr. W. P. Logue at tended her and found thai she drank 20 caps ol coffee daily. She is a complete wreck and be found ber unconscious Irom tbe effects of tbe narcotic poisoning. She said she tried to stop drinking coffee and substituted twenty cups of tea every day. She eats but a trifle and depends almost wholly upon the beaverage for sustenance. Thirty years ago J. B. Garrison, Ol Plant City, Flo., a machinist, ran a small stiver of steel into his right band at tbe base of the. thumb. The wound was treated and finally healed, the doctor saying that tbe steel had been expelled. But ever since that time Garrison bas suffered with severe pains n bis right arm which Le attributed to rheumatism. Last week tbe pains became very acute in bis rigbt shoulder, lit went to a doctor, and the doctor drew from just under tbe skin of bis shoulder the steel sliver that entered his hand in 1865. Alining Excitements. Mining excitements are ot periodica! appearance, and bring speculation and inflation which nearly always results in loss. Some of the genuine fields how ever hold out, and after passing the speculative chase develop into paying properties. Such may prove to be tbe case ia the new Colorado Bind". The Globe Democrat says of this latest dorado that the Cripple Creek mines appear to represent the most that is "in sight." They are all within a tract about five miles in diameter, and num ber about a hundred, . counting those which are regularly producing and ship ping ore to the reduction works. One of these mines has yielded $1,500,000, and they are now yielding in the aggregate $1,000,000 a month. But there are 10, 0J0 prospect claims which have cost an average of $200 apiece, and at least 6500 of them bave failed to show any traceo f go)d whatever. There are not less than 30,000 persons in the locality, and the search for the precious stuff goes on in a most industrious and determined way. Tbe miners who work for wages get $3 a day ; but the labor is mostly performed on the profit-sharing plan, and tbe poor est man in camp nourishes tbe hope of acquiring a fortune. SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS. New Years. Getting things into the mines. A Brown sensation in San Francisco. - Tbe English whipped in South Africa. Bonds. Annual settlements. Four days of tbe New Year are about gone, and tittle has transpired to indi cato tne transition. Perhaps U 1 a matter of satisfaction though to read about the big snow storms East and then contemplate our own uii'.d weather, Among resolutions a good one for tbe world would be for every body to have a good word for every body else and a good word for the prospects, a determination not to make others downcast however much so oneself . Brighten up, . Do your best, Leave others alone, Grow on your Own merits. There is one thing that at the present time is certainly a very encouraging thing for Albany and that is the pros pects for the Sautiam mines. A success ful mine adjacent to a town means proa- perity every time. One at Qoartxville would mean permanent prosperity Cripple Creeks eprinit up like mush roons and are soon gone, but Albany. already established, would receive a lasting benefit. Because we haze had false hopes in otber directions let us not pessimisticly prophecy such now. Tbe indications are 24 carat ones. Ah, bow the Golden Gate city feeds on scandal, like a vulture on carrion. A matter that would be treated in a few sentences in some places U built up into a mountain by rival papers and all the nauseating details are dug up trim every imaginable source away back almost to tbe time of J alius Caesar. Tbe Brown case now being embellished is a sample. Won't the dear public sometime get dis gusted with a steady diet ol such putrid bash. A small English army down in South Africa bas been whipped. Hurrah, not particularly because English, but be cause tbe aggressors belong to a people who bave for c.nltiries been lawlessly robbintt people of their countries. It is time for a ha't, and every defeat, though small is pleasing. Tbe future policy ol tne world should be to let tbe small as well as large have a show. bonds to get gold witn ovsr $500,0)0,- C00 ia silver ia the U S Treasury. Out rageous. Many million dollais in intsr st w ith good money lying idle because of near sighted political laws. An in dividual who would do business that way would be bankrupted. A neighbor sensibly enlarges upon tbe splendid effect an annual settlement would have on a community. The idea is that on tbe first of every year tbe debtor shall at least call oo tbe creditor, land slate the situation, if possible pay tbe debt, it not make some arrangements to do so as early as possible. If a debtor does not liquidate it is a matter of satis faction to have him honestly state the reason, and bis futare intentions ia tbe matter. Erery creditor bas a rig tit to know. If a debtor with a fair income is spending bis money for whiskey and let ting bis meat, grocery, dry goods, dreg, clothing, doctor, newspaper and other bills go, why certainly it would be only fair to tell tbera so. Thty would respect socb a man more than when be studi ously says nothing and continues to rob his creditos br speeding the money tbey arj entitled to for things ll at are not necessary. The Monroe Doctrine. LtaASos Oak , Jx. 3, 1396. EJdJT Drmucrtl: 1 desire space in yoor valuable paper to briefly reply to aa editorial published in the last issue of tbe Wetkly Advance relative to tbe Monroe doctrine. In ooe breath the editor of that paper endorses the Monroe doctrine and ia the next tarns around and repudiates it. The Advance says: "We believe in the Monroe doctrine, and think it should be upheld, but un der or present srl mot government it is a farce. Tbe wealthy foreigners hsve given a big mortgage on this country, which is now to be increased, and no big kick is made in fact the action is en dorsed by tbe "leadirg statesmen." (manvot whom accumulate millions on a salary of $5000 per year ) The Venezu elan question is insignificant when com pared with this bond business. Tbe former is only a dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela over a little piece of waste land in Sooth America, while the latter question is of vital interest to not only tne people ol tbis but of future generations. Pen canntt describe the toil and suffering that wilt be brought oo the American people by these bonds. We predict there will pe no war, but there will be many more bonds. e believe tbat those in authority scared up this war cloud witn that object in view. If the editor believes in tbe Monroe doc trine and thinks it should be upheld, why nit enforce it nnder our present system of government as well as under any oth er system? Is it notes wholesome today as when it was Hist enunciated by Pres ident Monroe himself? And does it not voice tbe sentiments of the American people irrespective of political party? That iecertain!r proven beyond a doubt by the immediate action that congress took in endorsing President Clevelands message without a dissenting vote- Republicans, Democrats and Populists voting alike; and ever leading news paper in the United States, some one, both Democratic and Republican, were loud in their praise of the action that the president has taken in enforcing this American principle. Tbe bond issue and the Monroe doc trine aro two eeparae and distinct questions. They are not to tie consid ered together. In supporting tbe Mon rje doctrine we are not harmonizing with Cleveland and the Republican House of Representatives iu issuing bonds to replenish the gold reserve, acd b so doing, heap more suffering anl burden upon the poor of oiir land; but are contending for a principle, one that El-Wo'uid be so imbued and permeated In the breast of every Ameiican patriot with such zeal and fervor, tbat if neces sity, he, will be ready ard willing to icrifice his life to maintain this princi ple and the integrity of his country. Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who to himself hath never said. This is my own my native land. In maintaining this bor.ndsry line in South America, it Is not a "dispute be tween Great Biitaln and Venezuela over a little piece of waste-land," but it in volves a very rich and valuable mining country. Conceding the fact for the salre of argument that it is a "little piece of waste land." .till it 1. worth contend- lag for. It brings us face to face with I tbe question, whether or not England, regardless of the Monroe doctrine, which declares as follows: "We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between tbe United States and those powers, (tneaningEttfopesn powers,) to diclare that we should consider an? at-1 tempt ou their part to extend their sys tem to any portion of tbis hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety" shall repudiate this principle and en croach upon our rights. Let every true American citizen sav no. Let ever wind thai wafts from this side of tbe Atlantic to the other, carry away upon us loity wing the firm answer of Amer ica, no. We will defend tbe Monroe doctrine to the bitter end irrespective of a bond issus (for the latter does not enter into the controvenr) and show that arrogaut and repulsive nation that we are for America flrt, last and always, and will defend her with onr lives. 0. F. Saihwobth. MISFITS. San Francisco is wallowing in scandal. ma papers mere continually pour oil on the names. It has been araerted that a Salem Jus tice of the Peace makes more than the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Who wouldn't bo a Capital City justice these hard times. A Portland woman was picked updrunk on thestreet with a consumptive h Italian J . dying at home. It Is generally the men niw .v CUt II tilings. The members of the Ktata Rntnl nf Equalization think it would beairnod idea to have a board to set regularly dur- 1,1 1? "to wnoie year, lite jxjopie will think differently. Better not have any at all. - ' It has now been learned that the Salem oouuB, twin 10 American agent, are i . really owned by the Uotlichilds. No one Knows now many ol our city bonds tbe l.-.l.-t:t .if . - iwiucuuua realty own. Most of the papers of Western Oreeon have mentioned what Albany's creamery bas been doinz. Thus its reputation spreads, and through the medium of tbe tocai papers, ibis is an interesting (act people ueeu to remember. The Post ears an escaned Russian NU uiiiBi ds9 resiutM in mat city ior several ears, not spending his time in manu facturing plots, but in earniuir a living, and behaving himself. It Is well to re member that tbe Mhilist is a d me rent person from the Anarchist. The job of apportioning tbe $100,000 of tbe Oregon Pacific sale will last while there is nionev in it. Salem Journal nut it is a big job ami the referee ia at lowed so much, f 1000, any way. We wouldn t give much, though, for what tne poor laborer will get. Thee call this a mrft rn n trr - it rained" oo only seven Sunday afternoons dunng ISHc. iieiore you say tins is not true look it uo. Don t jump at conclu sions, investigate the fact thai seems al most impossible in view of the amount of rain that falls in Oregon. The editor oi the Daaocxvr keep a record, and speaks. People who attended the Jubilee con cert la&t night got a couple shosr in one A young man from the country sat in a conspicuous pace; he was lull enough just to be silts' and not virions, lie laughed from the time he took his seat, half an hour early, at everything. If any one bad told him it was raining he would have laughed to split,, opening his mouth until one could see his palate al most. As he smuned to have no malice he was left undisturbed and people look ed and laughed because his laughing as laughable. Hold your breath while resling the following: As tbe beils are ringing in the now yea.- the daw n ol brilliant fu I are appears t (ore tbe view of Astoriarus. Great events in the history of the city by the sea are presaged upon the first page of the pea ly opened y ar book and the air is pregnant with that prosperity whicn has been the dream of the citizens in the years gone by. Standing upon the llre bold of an era of commercial activity and power it is not amiss to con sider some of the factors in this change and to look at some of tbe objects to be attained. The United States supreme court, bv a decision banded down this week, settled a case that has been contested through all the courts by deciding that a man ho was put off a train because a con ductor refused a silver dime that was very much worn was entitled to the $315 and costs which bad been awarded him by the New Jersey courts.
