Unless the mind is i i oar iwneu not paia in auv&ncej...- - i Tragedy appears to be rampant everywhere, judging by the acci dents and casualties heralded over the wires. Murders, suicides, criminal assaults, robbery, and va rious ether crimes against individ uals or property seem to prevail in all sections. Frequently they are caused by people living too ex travagantly, often induced to do so by their inordinate pride, and as they live beyond their means they must resort to crime to supply the additional funds. Detection, ex posure, arrest and conviction are alhaosi certain to follow. A cer tain amount of ambition is com mendable in all, but this insatiate desire for display and notoriety, in order to gratify which people live beyond their means and are thus tempted to become criminals is the curse of thousands in this broad land. The numerous sad warn ings are insufficient to prevent others from rushing headlong into the fatal abyss. Moderation is a virtue many should strive to culti "vate. Astorian. The Santa Cruz Sentinel in not ing the splendid exhibitions of fruits at the pavillion makes this effective point for the farmers to onsider: 'The McKinley law puts a tariff of twenty-five cents upon every bushel of apples im ported into this country, and two cents a pound on dri?d apples. That law also puts a tariff of two cents on every pound of dried prunes imported. That law also puts a tariff upon every pound of raisins imported. Here are three leading productions of your orch ards and vineyards which are pro tected from foreign competition by this beneficent Republican meas ure. Do you know that the demo cratic congressman from this dis trict opposes, and would have vot ed against that measure if he had been present when it passed, and would do it again if he is re elected?" Here is an illustration of the ambition and enterprise that char acterizes the people of Washing ton. The city of Blaine, on the edge of British Columbia, which but recently was a tract of forest, has issued bonds to the amount of $100,000, and with the money ob tamed on them is constructing 20 miles of streets and sidewalks Where are the evidences of the Ambition and enterprise of Oregon City? Oregon City Courier. When money is borrowed of an individual the borrower deducts his debts from his taxable property and the lender is supposed to pay the tax. When the state loans any money it does so knowing that it is robbing itself of not only that amount of taxable property, for it is not taxable, but that the bor rower will deduct the debt and get out of that much more. West Side. The board of trade of Corvallis and Yaquina is issuing 20,000 pamphlets descriptive of Benton county. The only county exhibit of agricultural products at the Mechanic's Fair is from Benton county. While Clackamas county sleeps, Benton county is up and doing. Oregon City Courier. Portland's second great in'dus trial exposition closed Saturday night. It has been a success as an entertaining and instructive affair, and it is to be hoped that it has also been a success financially. The gentlemen who have had charge of the fair are truly to be congratulated. One way to get' more man ufacturing concerns is to keep those that are here. KNOWLEDGE FOR FARMING. The mere ability to read and write cannot keep people from sinking down into the mental con dition of the louts and boors of England and Holland, of whom European writers say that they "are a little above gorillas intel- I exercised it must sink into imbe cility. It requires to be used. The man who lives upon the land and contents himself with farming without any thoughts, or study of his business or of anything else, but just plods along, year alter year, ruminating and vegetating, and brings up a family in the same way, is guilty of a crime against civilization. If any one will journey tnrougn eastern districts of our old states, or through Eu rope, he will find many families who have not one single idea above the raising of grain, pigs and chickens, just as did their fore fathers. They do their work with out any thoughts as to how oi why they do it. And worse still, they have not one single object on earth in which they have the least in tellectual interest. All people are prone to fall into this death in life existence unless they take care to have some intellectual employ ment. And he who makes a study of any one subject even will find his intellect expanding to the com prehension of other subjects, like the young man, Hugh Miller, who studied the stones he was break ing until he took in the great globe itself. The literature of ag riculture is now very extensive. Farming, that was ever considered a poor, narrow, degrading subject because of the ox-like stupidity of those who carried it on, is now known to be the grandest, most ex tensive of all themes. No one mind can begin to comprehend it. The final object is production, but a myriad of subjects require atten tion in order to do it, just as though the aim of life is death, much is to be done meanwhile. Statesman. Some men imagine that the mortgage tax and usury laws should stand because they protect the money-borrower against the money lender. But has the oper ation of these laws in Oregon proved this in a 6ingle instance? We believe not The mortgage tax law provides no way for its collection, and if such taxes be come delinquent there is no way to secure them, without great dam age to the mortgagee. If the land could be 6old for the payment of the loan, the money-borrower, who owns the property would be the sufferer, and not the mortgager, or money-lender. The usury law, by limiting the price of money in Ore gon drives it elsewhere, and not only individuals but the industries of the state suffer in consequence. Before thes3 laws were in opera tion. Oregon was for ahead of Washington in industrial develop ment; but since the last usury law was passed capital has sought a better market in the neighboring state, and her development has been phenomenal. We have nat ural resources that require large sums of money for development, and capital at almost any price is desirable. Like wheat or oats the price of money should be govern ed by supply and demand, and legislation is futile to change this natural law of trade. Times Mountaineer. High sounding resolutions are not going to keep the upper river open. The work done by the water-way convention at Oregon City will probably do about as much good towards securing an open river as the squeaking of an old fir tree on top ot the Cascades by the wind. "Wind and noise won't dredge out the sand bars. Statesman. Mrs. Fremont has returned the funds sent to her under the impres sion that she was in destitute cir cumstances, since she received her pension. . The Salem Journal says a very proper time to begin spending money is when you no longer have debts to pay. County pauper and bridge bills would be cut down a good deal if published in two or three county papers showing amount claimed and amount allowed. Journal. A man who earns $2000 a year and is worth $20,000 sent in appli cation to the Wilkesbarre cyclone fund committee recently for $50 loss caused by the chimney falling on his kitchen. An exchange sajTs the howl about the worthless census is growing louder and louder. Chicago has now added her voice, and Porter must indeed rejoice at his being so far distant as to be unable to hear the terrible noise. Kate Field has been examining some statistics furnished her by the Chicago Board of Pharmacy and finds to her horror, that American women spend $62,000-, 000 a year for cosmetics, most of which are made of zinc oxide, cal omel and other poisons. Every individual who is fortu nate enough to own property here should take a pride in having it kept in good order, and especially should there be good streets and sidewalks in front of every resi dence, for otherwise strangers have a bad impression of a town. The Fresno Republican says: 'The grasping Pullman monopoly, so badly conducted on the Pacific coast, last year netted its stock holders $2,308,000. Every state in the Union should enact laws limiting Pullman charges to a maximum of $1.50 a day and $1 a night. The Pullman charges are excessive now. During the next decade we may expect prosperity in Oregon such as has not been witnessed for many years. From the trend of public sentiment it may be con sidered certain that the natural resources will be developed and the waterways opened to the pro ducer. The era of inossbackism is past and the future will display a unanimity of sentiment regards everything which will tend to ad vancement. Times-Mountaineer. S'KINS ON FIRE With Itching, Burning, Bleeding Eczemas Instantly Relieved by Cuticura Remedies. Our little son will be four years of ace on the 25th inst. In May 1885, he was attacked with a very painful breaking out of the ikin. We called in a physician, who treated him for about four weeks. The child received little or no pood from the treatineut, as the breaking out, supposed by the physician to be hives iu an aggravated form, became larger in blotches, and more and more (lis trussing. We were frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him with soda in water, stroug linimenti, etc. Finally, we called other physiciaus, 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 tif August he was so nearly well that we gave him only one dose of the Resolvent about every second day for about ten any a longer, and he has never been troubled since with the horrid malady. In all we used less than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Rb solvent, a little less than one box of Cuti cura, and only one box of Cuticura Soap. Cayugn, Livingstone Co., III.

Parents, do you realize how your little ones suffer, when their tender skins are literally on fire with itching, burning, scaly, and blotched skin and scalp diseases? To know that a single application of the Cuti cura Remedies will often afford instant re lief, permit rest and sleep, and point to a permanent and economical (because so speedy cure, and not to use them, without a moment's delay, is to be guilty of positive inhumanity. No greater legacy can be be stowed upon a child than a clear skin and pure blood. Cuticura Remedies are abso lutely pure, and may be used from infancy to age, from pimples to scrofula.
