The ninth biennial report of the state superintendent of public in struction is in the hands of the state printer, and will soon be placed before the public. From the statistics contained therein there is every reason for the state of Oregon to feel proud of the progress achieved in the matter of popular education. Free and uni versa! instruction is the corner stone of popular government, and the more enlightened are our citi zens the more security there is to our popular institutions. Most of the miseries that are known in modern life are the result of de pravity born of ignorance and su perstition. Our public schools are rapidly depleting jails and pauper houses, and if their influence spreads and extends we may look forward eventually to a state of society as perfect as that represent ed in Edward Bellamay's "Look ing Backward." Since 1880 the cause of free public education has progressed wonderfully. Ten years ago there were 1007 school districts, with a school population of 59,615. This latest report of the superintendent shows 1G93 school districts, having a total school population of 99,543, in the education of which 2566 teachers are employed during 170 days of the year. We have now in Oregon 1500 schools valued at nearly $1,750,000. Not only has there been an increase in the mini ber of districts, pupils, teachers and schools, and an increase in the value of school property, but there has been introduced into the Ore gon public school system the lat est methods of instruction known to the profession of teaching, until the schools of this state are second to none in the entire country. What we need here now is a more jealous watch over the dis position of lands set apart for the public educational fund. The school had at its disposal some of the finest lands of the state, which have been in a measure sacrificed to private greed. Individuals have become enriched through dis posing of these while the fund it self has suffered. The legislature might do well to look into this matter and see how the education al rights of both present and fu ture generations were being bar tered simply for "a mess of pot tage. Oregon has just cause for pride in her schools. In every hamlet throughout the state the schoolhouse is the first public build ing erected, and it is this as much as the state's natural advantages that draws the intelligent settler. The time is not far distant when Oregon, with her manifold glories, will stand ahead among the peer less commonwealths of this great republic , and she will owe her proud position there to the excel lence and extent of her public school svstem. Evening Tele- Oliver Dalrymple, the great wheat farmer of the Northwest, makes this statement of his crop to the Fargo Argus: "My wheat js threshing out from eighteen to twenty bushels to the acre, and I have this vear 25,000 acres under wheat. At the average of eight een bushels to the acre I will have a crop of 450,000 bushels of wheat." From the prices that wheat is selling, at just now it seems probable that the boys will admire the figures of the Dal jymple girls this winter. Representative Hermann is on his way home to Oregon. The good work be has performed while at the national capital during the session of congress just closed en titles him to a warm reception from the people of this state. A PLAN NECESSARY. If the state of Oregon is to have i creditable exhibition at the world's fair it will be necessary to appropriate a large sum of money for it. No ample collection of the products of nature, art and indus try can be made that will not cost money, and a good deal of it. Moreover, to maintain the exhibi bition throughout the space of one year will not be possible without money. How much money? is a j proper subject of inquiry. Not unlikely it will be difficult to induce the legislature to appro priate a sum sufficiently large to gather and maintain such a collec- tion as the state ought to have at j Chicago, and quite certainly it will ' be impossible, to get the legisla ture to do this, unless a plan some what distinct and definite, be for mulated in the bill to be presented to the legislature. That is, the scope and extent of the collection that Oregon is to present at the world's fair ought to be outlined; there ought to be an estimate, based on this plan, of the sum of money that will be required; the estimate should be itemized as far as possible, and to this end study ought to be made of the whole subject. This done, there will be a basis for legislative action. Unless the proposition shall be presented to the legislature in some definite form, or at least in some outline, that body will not know what to do in the premises. The legislature is not likely to ap propriate a large lump sum with out specifying as nearly as possible the uses to which it is to be devot ed; and in order to get an appro priation it will be necessary to formulate a plan, with an estimate of expenses. Who will take this in hand? Perhaps a committee of the State Board of Commerce would be as proper an agent as any other to consider this ques tion, draw up a plan for the ex hibit and make an estimate of the cost. The plan should be large enough to do justice to the re sources and products of the state. Oregonian. Every possible exertion is ap parently being made by almost every citizen ot Washington, while the live men of Oregon ap to be few and far between. As a result, Washington is growing with great rapidity, towns are spring ingup, railroads are being extend ed in every direction and univer sal activity and progress are vis ible everywhere. Oregon, how- j . w I ever, cannot show anything JiKe i such a degree of activity, and yet j our natural advantages are fully equal if not superior to those of j our sister state. The lesson is ob- vious. . Men, not location ana : natural advantages are what build ( up cities and states, and the local- j ity which is lacking in energetic men, will not advance very rapil ly, no matter how much it may be blessed by nature.

The bill provides" "that all circulating notes of national banking associations and all United States legal tender notes and certificates of the Uni ted States payable on demand and circulating as currency, shall not be exempt from taxation under the authority of any state or territory. Provided, that any such taxation shall be exercised in the same manner and at the same rate that any such state or territory shall tax other money within its juris diction." The bill is now in the hands of the house committee on banking and currency, where it is likely to stay until next session. Vindicator.

The issue in the campaign which is atcracting the greatest amount of attention in every part of the Union is that of the election of Major McKinley in Ohio. Mr. McKinley, is with the exceptions of Reed and Blaine, the foremost Republican in the country at this time. He has been particularly serviceable to his party and par ticularly annoying to the demo crats, and the latter, in order to revenge themselves, have resorted to one of the shabbiest tricks of American politics. The county in which Mr. McKinley lives and ail i the counties which under a fair ap portionment could be joined to itare Republican in politics and favor- able to a protective tariff by large majorities. Under such circum stances his re-election to Congress in a district made up of these counties was a foregone conclu sion. To defeat him the democrats have fashioned for him a district by joining counties together in a way which will give it a demo cratic majority of 2000 votes. To do this they have had to construct the district in such a way that the unfairness of the apportionment is manifest to every one. The re publicans have had the shape of the district printed upon their campaign badges as a symbol of the wrong they have to overcome and defeat at the polls in Novem ber, and with thi3 badge worn upon their breasts they are now work ing like heroes and with every prospect of success. Indeed it is hardly likely that such a bare faced trick should be successful in any American community. The very meanness of it will defeat it. Americans have often broken down party lines to rebuke the selfishness of men who have en deavored unfairly to defeat a po litical rival, and it is quite prob able that the better class of demo crats will themselves join with the republicans and independents in voting (or McKinley in order that thereputation of American politics may not be shamed by the triumph of such a trick as this.

The 'citizens of Pendleton are enforcing the Sunday law in rela tion to saloon-keepers, and these keep open their places of business and pay their fines. Perhaps it is more profitable than keeping clos ed houses. This illustrates the efficiency of Sunday laws. Times Mountaineer.

Our little son will be four years of ape on the 25th inst. In May 1885, he was attacked with a very painful breaking out of the tkin. We called in a physician, who treated him for about four weeks. The child received little or no ntol from the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by the physician to be hives in an aggravated form, became larger in blotches, and more and more dis tressing. We were frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him with soda in water, strong liniment, etc. Finally, we called other physicians, until no less than six had attempted to cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily getting worse and worse, until about the 20th of last July, when we began to give him Cuticura Re solvent internally, and the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the last of August he was so nearly well that we gave him only one dose of the Resolvent about every second day for about ten days longer, and he has neyer been troubled since with the horrid malady. In all we used less than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Re solvent, a little less than one box of Cuti cuka, and only one box of Cuticura Soap. H. E. RYAN, Cayngo, Livingstone Co., III.
