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

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

The board of trade of Corvallis
and Yaquina is issuing 20,000
pamphlets descriptive of Benton

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

the worthless census is growing

American women spend $62,000-,

Every individual who is fortu

kept in good order, and especially
should there be good streets and
sidewalks in front of every resi

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.

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
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.
