WINDOWS LAST WORDS.
The last m'omeats of Secretary
Windom's life were used by him
in giving counsel to the American
people upon the two great ques
tions of finance and commerce.
His death comiivg with tragic in
tensity so swift! v after he had sdo-
w V - .
en, invests those words with a sol
emn significance. They come to
ns now as a voice beyond the
grave, but full of the vigor of a
living patriotism. He closed with
this appeal which the republican
party commends to the memory of
every voter:
"Give us direct and ample trans
portation , facilities under the
American flag and controlled by
American citizens-; currency sound
in equality and adequate in quan
tity and international, to facilitate
the changes, and the system of
reciprocity carefully m adjusted
within the lines of protection; and
not only will our foreign commerce
again invade every sea, but every
American industry will be quick
ned and our whole people feel the
impulse of a new and enduring
prosperity."
These words should be treasur
ed up and not forgotten. It is for
these things that William Windom
Tabored hard for many years, and
though he did not live to see the
fulfillment of them, who can
doubt that his last effort will be
largely instrumental in bringing
them to pass, and that right
speedily. San Jose Mercury.
Senator Veatch's bill, provid
ing for the repeal of the act creat
ing a railroad commission, failed
to pass the senate. Veatch sup- j
ported this measure witu a Jong
argument for retrenchment and
reform, and when placed upon
final passage the bill lacked but
two votes of going through.
The Albany Herald says, if Ore
gon people supported, advocated,
defended and stood' by the Oregon,
newspapers with half the vim and
Joyality that the newspapers sup
port, advocate, defend and stand
by Oregon then Oregon would be
come the best slate in the Union
and Oregon newspapers would be
the best newspapers in the world.
Some 600 squatters on what is
known as niggertract Tacoma, are
excited because of ai order of U.
S. Marshal Harford that they must
pay rent for the land. The squat-,
teratook up the land in good faith,
and expect title from the govern
ment. There has been varied
opinions- expressed at different
times as tb' what position the gov
ernment occupies as to this land.

We are on- that part of the river

OREGON'S ADVANTAGES.
Oregon and California are both
extending their area of fruit cul
ture, and setting. out thousands of
trees. But hot ft are working un
der different conditions. . In Ore
gon tl orehardists have delightful
weather for the purpose, and plow
ing goes on without interruption
notwithstanding ft is the middle of
winter. The young fruit trees are
taken from the nurseries and set
out easily and rapidly, in ground
mellow and moist and in perfect
condition. In California, how
ever, there is the periodical drouth
and the orehardists are compelled
to dig holes for the trees with the
aid of crowbars and picks. This
discounts the traditional story as
to the'soil of Vermont where the
grain has to be shot into the
ground from firearms in order that
it may take root. Bat, notwith
standing this discouragement, we
are assured by the Bulletin that
the work of thus "planting trees"
in California goes on without
abatement. It only shows the
pertinacity with which people
there prosecute business under
difficulties that would appall the
Oregon farmer, who has been in
sensibly educated to an easy-going
life under the unequaled soil and
climate of this favored region.
No crowbars and picks for him.

Arkansas has robbed our state
of the opportunity offered of ob
taining free advertising by reason
of niggardliness (the brilliant
scheme of Governor Pennoyer) by
stealing a march on us in refusing
to make an appropriation for the
World's Fair. Inasmuch as Ar
kansas has nothing to display, and
has stolen Pennoyer's thunder, it
behooves us to return to the first
proposition, to step out of the
ditches, shake off the moss and see
that Oregon is fairly represented
at the Chicago Exposition, by con
tributing a respectable sum of
money. Uahlornia has appropria
ted $300,000 for the World's Fair
and will be able to make-an exhib
it that its people can point to
proudly and which will be of great
benefit in the way of attracting
immigration and capital, Wel

An examination of the records
of the pension bureau at Wash
ington discloses the fact that there
are but 12,000 applications on file
that are not represented .by attor
neys. These will be taken up by
the board appointed for the pur
pose and proceed to final deter
mination. This, board is required
to use every care that could be ta
ken by an attorney, and to fully
consider and give just weight' to
every favorable fact disclosed in
the record of these cases. In
other words, full and complete
justice is to be done in every in
stance, and technicalities of con
struction on presentation of these
cases are not to be taken advan
tage of. Claimants are to be as
sisted and not hindered. These re
forms have already been started in
their course, and it is expected
they will result in good to all con
cerned. Oregon- City Enterprise.
The Farmers' Alliance of Kan
sas is very bitterly opposed to'
pools of all kinds except its own.
A grain pool, for the purpose- of
withholding from the market im
mense quantities of breadstuff's by
storing them i "alliance" ware
houses until the producers can
obtain such prices as they consider
satisfactory, is in their opinion a
very proper scheme, but a pool to
regulate" the price of iron, oil, or
any other article not produced by
farmers, is by the same judgment
robbery.- Northwestern Financier.

These figures suggest -to the reader
where much of Iowa's cheap corn
goes. The Iowa farmer who con
denses Iowa corn into Iowa pork
is 'the man who laughs.'" "
FA VORS THE PRINTING BILL.
At its regular monthly session
Satuiday, Marion, county grange
discussed the proposed bill pro
viding for publication in county
newspapers of the proceedings and
claims allowed by county courts
and commissioners.
After a full hearing and espec
ially from the standpoint of econ
omy, grange resolved unanimously
in favor of the law, and unan
imously recommended its passage.
There i3 strong sentimeutin many
parts of the state in favor of such
a law. The grange is opposed to
all measures for increasing county
expenditures, and favors retrench
ment. No means could ,be pro
vided for cutting down the ex
penses of couuties so effectively as
the publication provided itr this
bill. The only persons to object
to such a law are those who have
an interest in keeping the details
of tax-eating a sealed book to the
taxpayer. Journal.

Whenever a public man con:
stantly receives "taffy" from the
newspapers of the opposition par
ty he would do well to ask him

way injuring hi own party he
wouldn't be getting the aforesaid
"taffy."
Senator Ingalls, when he re
tires from the senate,' will leave a
place which his farmers' alliance
successor, Judge Peffer, will find
it difficult, if not utterly impossible
for him to fill. The retirement of
Mr. Ingalls will be a far greater
loss to the state of Kansas than to
himself. .
The election of Dr. Gallinger to
succeed Senator Blair was very
gratifying, to the wage-workers of
the country. He made a reputa
tion as a hustler several years ago
in the house of representatives as
the special champion of the print
ers, for whonr he naturally has a
kind feeling, baing a typo 'himself.
