American inventors seem to be active in the line of destructive warfare. During the past year the board of Ordnance has ex amined and acted on 2S0 inven tions, including artillery, guns for high explosives, smokeless powder, cartridges, air ships, etc. Blade. One thing the farmer of the fu ture must do and that is to edu cate himself in everything that pertains to his calling. Better education means more knowledge of the principles that underlie suc cessful farming, and more and bet ter applied knowledge means bel ter results. It don't take much to console the Seattle Telegraph, judging from the following: "Amid the gloom which hangs over the local election returns, it is cheering to cast the eye towards the shining light which illumines West Seat tle. We elected a constable over there. All is not lost." The effort to induce Governor Hill, of New York, to accept the United States senatorship from that stale, is a very clever scheme to pave the way clear for G rover Cleveland to the democratic presi dential nomination in 1892. Gov ernor Hill has no love for Cleve land, and at the same time he has presidential aspirations of a most pronounced character. Consider ing these things Hill would be very foolish to accept the senator ship. It lie does so, it may be taken for granted that the shrewd New Yorker has no hopes ot dem ocratic success in 1S92. Telegram. Fourteen of the thirty-one coun ties of Oregon return tax lists ag gregating $30,000,000. Consider ing the altogether dishonest show ing allowed and encouraged by our assessment laws this may be considered pretty good. Three times that amount, or $90,000,000, would probably be a fair valuation of the property listed in these fourteen counties, furnish an intel ligent index-to the thrift and pros perity of the portions of the state thus represented, and, if followed up by the seventeen counties from which returns are yet to be made, would insure the highest tax levy in the history of the state. Ore gonian. The Times-Mountaineer makes the following very sensible re marks: The Corvallis Gazette has been sued for $5000 damages for advertising the character of a former citizen in its columns, and this is food for rellection. An at torney, before a jury, could smirch the reputation of any witness in the blackest and foulest manner, and no action would lie against him. Ajrain. in a breach of promise case, by introducing testi mony of any kind, he could rob a girl of that which is dearer than life to her for the purpose of earn ing a fee from his lecherous client, and it is not actionable. Why is this? Perhaps, because the attor ney is not expected to maintain Itiat degree of integrity which the publisher is, or that the forensic efforts of the paid advocate amounts to little or nothing out side of the court room, while the printed words of the editor burn and excoriate, and lives on from year to year, and increases in strength with the lapse of time. All must acknowledge the power of the press, and the bar, pulpit and the disciples of Esculapius are actually overshadowed by it. The democrats, ot the eastern states are by no means so jubilant as they were just after the election. A consideration of the returns re veals four facts which have greatly decreased the value of their ap parent victory. In the first place it is seen that the vote shows no increase of democratic votes but a decrease in republican votes, which proves only that republi cans stayed at home this year and affords no reason for believing that they will vote against, the party in 1S92. In the second place many of those who were elected and were at first classed with demo crats, are found to be members of the Farmers' Alliance, and the leader of that organization has de clared that the Alliance men seek to hold the balance of power in congress and will not act as mem bers ot the democratic party. In the third place the victories in Ill inois and Wisconsin were won by combinations against compulsory education, which will have no ef fect in 1S92. Finally, in a district which gave 3000 democratic ma- jority in 18S8, McKinley was feated this year by less than 300 votes, thus showinir that where tariff was fully discussed and thor oughly understood by the people, the tendency of changed votes was overwhelmingly democratic part v. against t lie Senator Gor-ji"g man after pondering over these facts and the conclusions whieh i ,1......... r.., can ut; ib'uuiiy uiiin iiuni invriu, j has advised his party that it must j and experience of others as well pursue a very cautious and con-j as their own, to bear on that sub servative policy for the next two jct manage their orchards with years.

But this is the first time Jay has posed as a heart-bleeder for the poor, during the whole of his eventful life. Can it be that time is tem pering his feelings for the small fish, or does he see big profits for the whales in small profits for the minnows? SalemS tatesman. COXOKESSMAX Wm. ilcKlXLEY has been in Congress for twelve years, and his possessions are rated at about $50,000.

The intelligent farmer of to-day realizes that in farm matters there must be a change. Either the price of wheat, the chief product of the farm, must be advanced so that the- farmer can realize a profit on the basis of the present yield per acre of that cereal, or if the present prices continue to be the price of the future, the quan tity per acre must be increased, so that the farmer may leap some profit upon the capital invested in the farm. t The price of farm hands will in future, as they have in the past, continue-to advance. The attrac tions of our beautiful Willamette valley, in the way of climate, pro ductiveness, natural scenery, etc., is bound to cause large numbers of people to locate in it and build their homes in our midst. Immi gration agents tell us that the in flux of population during the next ten years will Vie greater than we have ever known before. This be ing true, the value of land will be doubled at least. Then if land now valued at $30 or $40 per acre can de-iiiot be farmed ac a profit in wheat, raising, how will it lie when worth ! twice as much? The only answer is that a more profitable crop must be produced. The experience of the past in f Vi'-it raising is not very encourag- unless different modes and methods are adopted. Those per sons who have made fruit, culture a sf tidy and bring the knowledge ance, and nearly all ol l lie ene mies of fruit known to the pomol ogist are found in them. Many of the neglected orchards are lit for nothing but fire wood, and many of them by proper attention can be restored and made a .source of profit, to the farmer. ket for the small white bean would pay the farmer from !'50. to $75 per acre clear profit. The successful farmer of the future will be he who has for sale a diversity of products of the farm, garden, orchard, dairy, hen nery, etc., and he who adopts the plan of raising a diversity of crops will prosper while the exclusive wheat farmer will continue to mur mur '-hard limes," and that wheat raising does not pay, and other kindred expressions. Scio Press. Few persons outside of Louisi ana are aware of the enormous damage suffered by tbe breaking of the levees. In a single year the state lost $15,00-1,000, having 6.050,000 acres, of which -108,500. were cultivated, under water. During the present year a single crevasse destroyed in one parish $1,205,570 worth .of property. $5,000,000, Tick Grass Valley Union says "Cigarettes are said to have been sold at ten cents apiece at Nevada C,t' 0,1 electio in tlie saloons. e grarul jury thought the price was extraordinary, but were satis Bed with the theory of intelh" gent witness who attnbuted tl,e sudden rise 111 the price to the McKinley tariff bill.' Shall we have adequate coast defense or not? is a question that must be acted upon speedily by The cause of the shrinkage of stocks in our eastern markets dur ing the last three or four months is known to have been the precipi tation on the American market of large amounts of American rail way and other securities formerly 1 held in England. At last it has I transpired why these securities were sent over here to be sold. Immense suimof money had been . drawn away from England lor in ; vestment in South American ! bonds. These investments having resulted in unparalled losses, the bankers and capitalists of Eng , land pushed upon the market all securities held by them upon which money could be- raised. This action threw back upon the United States vast quantities of railway and other securities, by ! which the American market has j been borne down. A iurther re sult has been the depression in value of all stocks except those of the most solid character. All new undertakings have been hindered or crippled, and many of them have been defeated. It has- been : impossible to float the bonds of , new projects, and it has evert been difficult to get money for the-pur-i poses of ordinary business. The house of Baring Brothers had so long held a position as one of the greatest and most solid in the world that the announcement of its embarrassment came as a surprise. The magnitude of its operations is attested by the fact that, its losses upon securities of the bankrupt Argentine republic ap pear to exceed $50,000,000, so that the united financial strength of London was required to prevent a collapse that would have led to ruinous results in all quarters of the worid.
