GRO WTH OF SCHOOLS.
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.

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

ted States senate which, though of
considerable importance, has hard
ly been noticed. It is a bill sub
jecting U. S. and national bank
notes to state taxation. 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.

The bounty offered to promote
the production ot beet sugar may
result in making the United States
independent of the rest ot

that necessary commodity. ' If it
does the sugar bounty will prove

M'KINLETS DISTRICT.
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. San Jose

SKINS ON FIRE
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
Eczemas Instantly Relieved
by Cuticura Remedies.
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.
