Republicans are enjoying: the
scrapping match between the
Cleveland and anti-Cleveland dem
ocrats knowing that they are light
ing for what will be an empty
honor next years democratic nom
ination. 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culture laws have been repealed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

Cuticura Resolvent. I could see a change;
and after I had taken four bottles I was al
most cured; and when I hail used six bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, one box of Cuti

wis cured of the. dreadful disease from
which I hid suffered for rive years I can
