After having several years of
extremely low prices for grain, the
tables have turned, and a good
time is coming this harvest for the
farmers. Wheat and other grains
are higher than they have been
for years, and the crop prospects
all over the United States are most
excellent. This state of things
makes the farmers rejoice, and no-
body is displeased except the dem-
a.mn.-nl "nalamitv howlers."

Twenty-one states in the union
have now adopted the Australian
ballot or some modification ot it.
These states are taking them in the
order ot contiguity, and beginning

reform movement, Massachusetts,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecti
cut, New York, New Jersey, Mary
land, West Virginia, Indiana!, Ten
nessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mis

braska, South and North Dakota,
Montana, Oregon and Washington.
More than a third of these adopt
ed the ballot since the election last
November. Bills to bring about
the reform are also before the leg
islatures ot several . other states,
and some of them will undoubt
edly be successful.
In the City ot New York there

Iu arranging for the reception
of President Harrison and party
in this state the question arose as
to the propriety of Governor Pen
no.ver meeting the distinguished
visitors at the state line. Gover-
nor
Pennoyer expressed the opin-
ioii to a party including a
gram reporter, that official
Tele-etti-
i . . -i . ....
queue uoes not require mm to
meet the visitors ;at the state line;
that the proper place for him to
receive the presiuent is at tne
state capitol. These remarks were
not intended for publicatien but
they appeared in the Telegram
and tli3 result is a very great hue
ana cry which nas sounueu ami re
sounded in the remotest parts ot
the country, the governor's speech
being construed as an expression
. , , .

although, as has been said, the gov

position before the country. Mr
Pennoyer expressed, as a citizen,
his ideas on the subject to assist in
determining the arrangements for
the resident's reception and it is
not more in justice to arraign him
than many other citizens who hold
similar views.
It is not unlikely that the Port
land Telegram set a trap for the
newspapers, into which many of
them at once stepped, and which
local prida should have kept them
out of.. The motive of the Tele-
m is much more to be ques
tionpd Mian thsir. nf the srovernor.
There .g nQ doah however that
receptiou which will be ex-
teuded the president in this state
will be such as to assure him oi
the hospitality of our people and
of their appreciation of the re
spect due the chief executive of
their country.
The Oregonian, whether native
born or not, is always enthusiastic
over the climate of his state. His
enthusiasm is so over-powerin
that he is apt to be laughed at by
those who never saw Oregon save
in the rainy season ot winter or
the smoky days of summer, when
the forest fires make it a land of
clounded skies. The truth is
that while every climate has
its drawbacks, that of Oregon
the year around is as good if not
better than that ot any section of
the country save Southern Cali
fornia. Oregon does not have the
severe winters or JNew iingland,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, or generally
I of the Middle West. It escapes
the spring east winds of Boston
arid the June winds of San Fran
cisco, it has no blizzards in win
ter, no cyclones, or tornadoes, or
thunder storms in summer; no hot
nights from June to October. The
Oregon "wet" season, from the
in November and departs in April.
The dry season from June to Oc
tober would be perfect save for the
smoke that hides our noble moun
tains. The drawbacks to the Ore
gon climate are that we miss that
sudden rush and flush of spring
and summer beauty that is found
in New England. The New Eng
land summer and autumn are
splendid seasons and they ought to
be to make up for her winter.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
Washington, April 20, 1891.
Senator Sherman is in town,
and many are the ruses that have
been tried for the purpose of get
ting an authoritive statement from
him as to his future political in
tention, but no one has yet suc
ceeded in drawing him out. A
gentleman close to him personally
and politically, and who probably
knows if any one does, said to me:
"Mr. Sherman isn't ready to talk
yet and those acquainted with
him know how useless it is for
anybody to try to pursuade him to
do so until he is. But you may
be certain that when the proper
time comes the people of Ohio will
be told whether he wishes to be
re elected to the senate; John
Sherman never travels under false
pretenses, and never hesitates to
ask in a manly and open manner
for the political support of his
constituents when he desires it."
It is the opinion of all the prom
inent republicans with whom I
have talked, among them several
Ohio men, that Mr. Sherman will
be a candidate for the re-election
to the senate, and that also is my
own impression.
The success of our special en
voy, ex-Alinister Foster, in negoti
ating with Spain a reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the Uni
ted States, along the lines of the
MuKinley tariff act, gives great
satisfaction in official circles, and
most effectually disposes of all the
democratic fairy tales about there
being a hitch on account of the
demand of Spain that we should
place Cuban tobacco on the free
list. The Spanish Government
was very anxious that we should
admit Cuba's tobacco free of duty,
but it was far too sensible to de
mand it, and wnen informed that
it was impossible there was no
more said about it.
The subject of counterfeiting
United States currency is assum
ing grave proportions and the of
ficials of the Treasury Department
are just at present giving consider
able time to studying it in the
hope of discovering a remedy or
preventative. The chief engraver
of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, who is away up as an ex
pert, spent an hour in
two $2 silver certificates, one gen
uine and the other counterfeit,
with a.powertul magnifying glass
and his verdict was that there was
not the slightest difference be
tween the two notes. New inven
tions in photo-mechanical pro
cesses have made it easy and cheap
for the counterfeiters to reproduce
on a metal plate every line of
note and after a little etching it is
an exact duplicate of the steel
piate irom which the note was
originally printed and which it had
taken months to engrave. The
color in the red seals and the green
backs was once a protection, but
late discoveries in photochromy
makes it easy to reproduce the
precise shades. The chief of the
Secret Service in his last annua
report says on this subject: "The
genuine government notes now
adays, especially the series of 1890
are marvels of the engraving art
aided by the wonderful geometric
laths. One would think it impos
sible to successfully counterfeit
such work upon looking over the
complex area of. lines and pat
terns; and yet at this moment
counterfeiters are reproducing it
so perfectly that the elaborate
beauty of this paper money may
be said to offer no protection to
the public or defense against
fraud." The only way the exper
has of detecting these skillfully
executed counterfeits is by the pa
per and that has been so well imi
tated that no one but an expert
can tell it from the cenuine. So
that really about the only protec
tion the public has against coun
terfeiting is the vigilance of the
Treasury Secret Service.
Representative Springer, of 111!
nois, is now jocularly referred to
the "talking candidate" for
as
Speaker of the House, . because of
the number of his recent newspa
per interviews. In his last, after
painting his own prospects a deep
roseate hue, which, by the way, is
not visible to anyone else, he sails
into New York politics, nominates
for Governor and elects Repre
sentative Roswell P. Flower,
whose, "barrel" has so often been
on tap to the "boys" of the demo
cratic machine, and makes him
the democratic presidential nom
inee, just as if those other two
gentlemen Cleveland and Hill
were not in existence. Really
this Speakership business is get-
g decidedly interesting, and
each of the would be democratic
presidential candidates will soon
have a candidate for speaker. Mr.
Mills is the Cleveland candidate,
Mr. Crisp the Hill candidate, with
number of others to be heard
from.
The Italian business has again
simmered down, and everybody
here thinks that Rudini will find
t extremely dificult to answer Mr.
Blaine's last dispatch, which meets
with commendation on all sides
and from everybody.
RAW AS BEEF-STEAK.
Baby's .Fearful Suffering from Skin
Disease Covering Entire Body
Cured by Cuticura.
Mv baby was taken very sick when tie
was three mouths old, and in a few days be
gan breaking out. Wa employed both of
the home doctors, and they could do noth
ing for him. Then we sent for the best
doctor in Eaton Rapids, Mich., and he doc-
' jj. tored him for two
weeks, and he got
'Alf&r'?s s worse an tne time;
W and thfin T took him
to Jackson to a doc
tor who attends es
pecially to skin dis
eases, and then he
got worse than ever.
Then I told my hus
band we bad better
try the Cuticura
Remedies any way; did not have any idea
they would do any good, but in less than
two months from the time we began giving
them to him he was entirely well, and not a
nnot on him. His hair began growing right
o'ff. and we had thought he would always
he bald-headed. 1 here was not a spoi on
his whole body, face, and head, only his
liosft and eves, but what was as raw as a
heef-steak. So Door there was not any-
thine but bones, and so weak he could raise
neither hand nor head.
