The only fault the democrats ean find of the nomination of Hon. Charles Foster to be secretary of the treasury is that his politics are too intensely republican. It would be well for the future welfare of the republican party if they could truthfully say the same thing of every federal office holder. Gov. Hill seems to have forgot ten how badly he was left in his attempt to run the national gov ernment, in connection with the census enumeration of New York city. Now he wants to runOthe state of Connecticut. It's a great pity that this political "smart aleck" can not find enough .to do at home. The greatest excitement known in China for a thousand years is that eaused by the pending visit of the Crown Prince of Russia. The momentous question which is exercising court circles from the Emperor down is, "Shall the royal visitor be permitted to sit in the presence of his Celestial High ness?" Let them wire McAllister, the autocrat of New York's four hundred. Ex. Kansas farmers are demonstrat ing that they are idiots as well as bankrupts by their present howl about "Eastern capital." The cold facts are that they discounted ihe future. Ot their own volition they borrowed money, spent it, and now that they are asked to pay it back, can't. That's all there is to it. Payday comes to every bor rower. When it does come, is the lender to be blamed if he asks for hiis money? Astorian. v Well, well! That organ of free trade and starvation prices and wages, the New York World, wants Englaad to drive out the present republican form of government in Brazil and take charge of that country in order to stop the reci procity treaty, which goes into effect April 1, next between Bra zil and the United States. That's a nice sort of business for a great - American newspaper to be engaged in isn't it? The pre-emption and timber culture laws have been repealed and the public domain will be solely parceled out to actual set lers. A large portion of the fruit ful acres of the dominion of the government has been sold to spec ulators, who, without making homes or improving the land, have 6old it at a high figure to actual settlers. This will no longer be the case and the home seeker and home builder will have the privi lege of owning the soil at first hand not subject to. the cent-per Gent of money-making speculators. Times-Mountaineer. Hon. Jekry Simpson sprung a hoary-headed chestnut on the Washington newspaper men when he asserted that the republican party was dead. We have heard that story at irregular intervals for 1 1 t A I. l I ? Jiiuny years, uih me repuuuouii party goes right along advocating all. that is best and most patriotic for the country. Many people are sometimes led astray by glittering generalities, as some republicans were last year, but they, always return to the republican fold just as thousands will do next year. When the republican party dies its death will be followed by the fune ral of republican institutions and the people are not yet ready to welcome a dictator. There is no line of bussness in which the patronage comes from all classes of the community to such an extent as does that of the railroads, and there is no class of business men who advertise more extensively than do the managers of the various lines. Through long experience they have presum ably learned how to advertise as well as any class of business men. The placing of their advertising is entrusted to general passenger agents. At the recent meeting in Chicago the results of their educa tion in the art of advertising were made manifest by the adoption of a resolution that they would here after use only legitimate newspa pers for advertising purposes and that they would not under any circumstances use the class of pub lications known as ''snaps." The men who get the business for the railroads have learned in the ex pensive school of experience that painting rocks and fences dees not interest the public and lhat adver tisements in hotel registers and theatre programmes are not read. They have also learned that the value of handbills and dodgers, which people do not care for and which they throw away and resent as an impertinence, is nil. They have learned that the only medi um by which they can reach tne entire public in a manner that will command attention is through the columns of newspapers which the public buys because it wants to read them and which are conse quently read. This is a lesson that is being rapidly learned by business men of all classes, though perhaps not as rapidly by any one "-lass as by the railroad men, who have probably the best opportuni ty to study the effects of advertis ing and who are restricted in their expenditures by the necessity of obtaining at least a dollar's worth for every dollar expended. S. F. Examiner. The population ot Canada has ceased to grow. There is more debt and more taxation every ylear, but no more people. The Domin ion debt to-day is quite $290,000, 000, and Sir John thinks nothing of adding ten or a dozen millions every year. His ordinary expend itures for federal purposes reach $40,000,000 and his reVenue about $30,000,000,. and thus the net debt per individual has gone merrily on until every man, woman and child in the Dominion stands to-day accountable to the country's credi tors for over $50. It may be agreeable for Canada to own a rail road, even if she has no use lor it, but to obtain it by running up the per capita debt from $34 to more than $50, while the country dis tricts and the small towns are being slowly depopulated, does not look like good statesmanship. The press and auth rs of Eng land for years have bien clamor ing for the passage of an interna tional copyright law by the United States. At last it has been done, and the whole pack is furious be cause the law provides for the printing of all such works in America, thus giving employment to our printers, binders, etc. This is in line with the American poli cy of protection our own inter ests to be considered first. 'France and Germany are once more threatening war. In this case it seems that the people of each country are eager to fight and are only restrained by their ' gov ernments. It this condition con tinues, war is inevitable, and it will probably be one of the most terrible ever waged. Senater Carlisle is the latest suf ferer from that- dangerous malady known as presidential fever. Once thoroughly inoculated with the virus of that disease no man was ever known to entirely recover his peace of mind. Tiiey used to call Bismarck the man of iron, but it now looks as if he was a man of steel steel pen. The question is quite frequently asked in this valley with regard to sowing wheat. "Which is the the most profitable, drilling or sowing broadcast?" Anyone who has tried the two ways will never ask the question the second time, as they will find at least one-third more wheat from the amount sown with a drill than they receive from the same amount with a seed er. Sowing with a drill from three pecks to one busher an acre is necessary to get a good .stand, while it takes from one bushel to five pecks an acre in order to get a broadcast stand. Thus will be seen that it takes from one-fourth to one-third more giain to use the seeder than the drill. But even with this extra amount of grain the yield will not be as much by several bushels per acre as when drilled. The best argument used in favor of the seeder is that it cultivates the the ground much better than the drill. This is ac knowledged but of what use is the cultivation if yoa do not get the production. The same applies to the East as does in this place. At a recent experiment of several plats in Indiana the drilled wheat averaged 23 bushels, and each plat of broadcast went about 17 bush els per acre, making 11 bushels in favor of the drilled grain. It will thus be seen that from one-third less seed the drilled ground raised over one half more grain. Try it once and see for yourself. Gold endale (Wash.) Ranchman. Fish Commissioner Reed says that he proposes to see the law enforced that prohibits the dirnp ing of sawdust into the river. That's business. There are 20,000.000 acres of un surveyed undisposed of govern ment lands in Oregon at this lime. There are only 1,000.000 acres remaining in Washington. Why is heart disease so preva lent among Americans? Its latest prominent victim was Senator Wilson, of Maryland, who died suddenly at Washington last week. The closing congress has been an unsettled one; in some respects unequaled; during its continuance nine of its members have died, six have resigned and nine have been unseated. . Two musket balls were recently found on the battle field of Get tysburg, with their points so thor oughly telescoped that they could not be separated. They had met in mid air. Had they just passed, each might hav killed the soldier that fired the other. There is nothing that tends to produce a better relation between town and country than good roads. Roads are one of the urgent needs of Western Oregon. To many isolated little communities a wagon road is of more importance than a railroad. The people of Washington sup port newspapers more liberally than do the Oregonians. Thus in Chehalis county, which has 10,000 inhabitants, are ten newspapers and the 11th is about to appear The abundance of newspapers has made Washington the best adver tised state on the Pacific coast. Gov. Pennoyer is strong on economy. The money of the tax payers mast not be wasted on wagon roads, he say? the state cannot afford it. To appropriate the vast sum of $97,000 to improve the wagon roads in the mountain regions of the state would be "loot ing" the treasury, says the Gov ernor; but when it comes to spend ing more than $90,000 upon the completion of the capitol building a large portion of it to go into a dome for purely architectural' effect then the cords of economv slacken their hold upon him. and he signs the bill. "Economy" h is long been a sadly abused pack horse in the service of demagogues, but it is seldom worried by such a capricious driver as our peculiar governor. Ashland Tidings. The following, from the Rural Press, applies equally as well to Oregon as to California: We hear so much said, and gen erally truly said, of What is done on small acres of fruit in this state that it is very desirable to have it known that small farming is profit able in this state on lines in which fruit trees and vines do not enter. We say desirable because not all localities are well adapted to lruit nor do all tastes run to pruning or bug killing. There are people who enjoy the perfumed breath of the cow and the melody of the poultry yard. Their lives, perchance, have been spent in learning how to suc ceed with these valuable factors in agricultural production. They do not care always to come to Califor nia to take up lines of work of which they know nothing, although it must be acknowledged that some of our best, fruit-growers were but recently cow-farmers and hen farmers, and once little thought ' that they would take up other'; lines. Still, let it be known that it is possible to attain conilort and perhaps a competency in other un dertakings than fruit growing if one knows how to go about it properly. The man who booms himself for office seldom gets it. Cleveland doesn't seem to be in it. DR CAPFUL PSORIASIS Covering Kntire Body with White Scales Suffering Fearful. Cured by Cuticura.
