Senator Peffer bids fair to go
down to posterity as the champion
talker of the nineteenth century.
The give-something-for-nothing
financial societies are after the
money of the gullible. A word to
the wise etc.
The convention of the National
Republican League at Cincinnati
was like the republican party a
"corker" and all right.
The democratic managers seem to
nave rather overdone things in the
so called Western Commercial
Congress recently held at Kansas
City.
Italy owes $225,000,000, and
the prospects of obtaining a finan
cial lift from the United States
were not at last accounts encour
aging. Ninety-nine men out of every
nundred believe in their hearts
that a day of retribution will
come, and ninety-eight of them
believe they will be overlooked in
the jam. Sentinel.
Chicago will have a republican
mayor during the World's Fair
which means ample security for
the persons and property of those
visiting the exposition. Good for
Chicago, and good for her visitors
too.
The democrats have for months
been endeavoring to create the
impression that the president was
at heart opposed to reciprocity,
but all their carefully built theo
ries have tumbled back into noth
ingness from which they were
created since Mr. Harrison made
that ringing reciprocity speech at
Galveston, Texas.
It is daily becoming more ap
parent that no considerable body
of republicans favor the issuing of
a currency by the Government
that may be worth less than one
hundred cents on the dollar to any
man, rich or poor.- We don't want
two kinds of dollars, one for the
wealthy man and one for the la-
Boring toiler. Dollars are like
votes, one should always be as
good as another.
Either Hon. Win. M. Springer,
who thinks he is in the speakership-
race, has a double or his
opinions undergo as many and as
rapid changes as the weather. It
is hard to pick np a paper that
does not contain an alleged inter
view with him, and no two of
them represent him as entertain
ing the same opinion. But after
all, come to think of it, he is only
following old time democratic
methods of gaining votes.
"What is statesmanship? Helping
to add to the greatness of the
country, commercially as well as
politically. Making a profitable
market for a million barrels of
flour to say nothing of other
American products and manufac
tures, as the new Cuban reciprocity
treaty recently made with Spain
will do, is the republican adminis
tration's idea of statesmanship,
and it is one that every patriotic
citizen can enthusiastically en
dorse. In 188&'oats averaged 23 cents
per bushel. Now they are worth
42 cents. As the New York Press
pertinently remarks, "How the
iree traders would howl if any
manufactured goods had advanced
at this rate." Everybody admits,
Jiowever, that it is better for the
country that the farmer should
receive a fair price for his pro
ducts. A great many people are
still blind enough, however,-to
deny that those engaged in manu
facturing should receive also a
fair return -for their labor.
INVITING COLONIES.
The Oregon Land Company has
adopted a plan that has a great
deal of merit. It is planning to
locate whole colonies of eastern
people on large fruit tracts near
Salem. Half the letters this office
receives from the east speaks of
plans of torming colonies to come
west. This system has many ad
vantages. A colony can get bet
ter pass3nger and freight rates, the
trip together and the location in a
body make their excursion to a
far-off strange land far more pleas
ant. In such companies people
not only enjoy themselves better,
but can get better terms all
around, and be helpful to one
another during the first years of
struggle. The feeling of lonesome
ness and home-sickness that is
such a terror to women and young
people, and even some men, is
overcome by the colony plan.
The Oregon Land Company has
struck the right thing in this and
it will result in immigration by
colonies in place of families.
Journal.
In the interests of the import
ant fruit industry of our state The
Astorian directs attention to the
fact that on fruit now arriving
from California is the dreaded
San Jose scale. This insect has
cost California millions of dollars.
So far our state is comparatively
free from it, but if fruit, oranges,
etc., covered with the insect and
its larvse, are allowed to enter the
the state it will not be long till
our Oregon fruit will be devasta
ted in the same way that Califor
nia fruit has been. Next to wheat
and salmon our fruit interests are
of most importance, and the day
will come when if judiciously
fostered, Oregon's fruit will be
first in importance. In this re
gard "an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure." About
three years ago a fool professor in j
a Medford, Mass., college, import- i
ed a bug or worm that he turned
loose to see what it would do. It
proved to be the dreaded "gypsy
moth." The result of the college
man's experiment can be best
judged, when we state that last
year the Massachusetts legislature
appropriated $25,000 as a gift to
some one to devise some success
ful means of ridding Massachu
setts orchards of that fruit de
stroyer. Astorian.
The accomplishments of the
Alliance legislatures when com
pared with the ante-election prom
ises of the stump speakers of that
organization is as a mustard seed
to a mountain. AH of which
shows that it is much easier to
promise relief than to give it.
The farmers have grievances, se
rious grievances, which must be
righted before the industrious til
lers of the soil will enjoy the pros
perity to which they are justly en
titled; but, we think, and we be
lieve that the time will soon come
when a great majority of the mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance will
think with us, that the republican
party, which has always been the
best friend of the working men, is
the source from which practical
relief will come.
Commenting on the launch of
the Monterey in the presence of
President Harrison on Tuesday,
the Chronicle says he could not
fail to be impressed with this idea,
that it is a great country which
can build battle ships simulta
neously 3000 miles apart, and that
not in government shipyards, but
in private yards, competing keen
ly for the contract and rivaling
each other in excellence of work
manship. Tulare made a happy hit in re
ceiving the president. They took
him amid showsrs of flowers over
a pathway strewn with new-mown
alfalfa to the stump of a sequoia
gigautea, from which he made an
address. If this was not the .big
gest stump speech, it was at any
rate a speech from the biggest
stump on which any president
ever stood. Ex.
THE FACTS ARE BEST.
The Oregonian has had its usual
Coos bay grapevine special, that
the steam schooner Geo. H.
Chance was bar bound at Yaquina
bay. This as usual is a misrepre
sentation. The truth is, that last
Wednesday she had laid up at
Alsea Bay, Waldport, just a week
bar bound, and not much show of
getting off. Coming from Port
land the Chance put into Newport
and discharged freight, getting out
with no delay. The persistent ly
ing about Yaquina to advance
Coos bay interests will not help
that region nor the Oregonian.
The general opinion of seamen is
that Yaquina bar is fully as good,
if not better than the bar at Coos
bay, and both are better than
Alsea.
The facts are best in all these
matters, we think. There is 12 to
14 feet of water on Alsea bar at
ordinary high tide. The Chance
is reported drawing 10 to 11 feet.
This paper has no interest in any
of the harbors and only seeks to
prevent injustice to any. Capital
Journal.
The New York Herald is not
out of the way in the least when
it says: "Our immigration laws
are not half stringent enough.
Neither are they enforced with
energy enough. If a man is of
any use to us, let him come in.
If he has money or skill we shall
be glad to see him. But if he has
nothing but rheumatism and beg
gary to contribute to the general
welfare, if he comes from a poor
house at home for the sake of a
change of diet in an American
poor house, we not only don't
want him but we wont have him.
If he insists on coming the only
thing to do is to send him back.
As for men with brains, all right;
as for knaves, cut-throats and pau
pers, Europe is welcome to them
and can keep them.
The Swiss have a queer system
of taxation. The poorer a man is
the less proportionately is his rate
of taxation. That is, we will say,
if a man is worth $100,000, arid
the rate of taxation is two per
cent., he has to pay $2000. If he
is worth $50,000 he will pay, not
$1000, but $750. If worth but
$25,000 he will pay $250, and so
on down to $5000, when he scarce
ly pays anything. Then, every
body makes his own assessment,
but after a man's death the govern
ment carefully investigates his
estate, and if he has been defraud
ing the treasury, it collects the
back taxes with interest.
Our English friends are getting
a little worried over the tremen
dous speed which the cruisers of
our new navy are developing. It
will be remembered that England
subsidizes her lines of swift mail
steamers on condition that the ves
sels shall be armed and put into
special service in case of war.
Now it appears that our cruisers
have developed such speed as to
make it certain that English mail
steamers could be caught and de
stroyed by them should hostilities
begin. Hence the worry of our
friends across the pond.
It may be a matter of interest
to some very good people, and it
is certainly a matter of justice to
the president himself, that the fact
should be known that President
Harrison, and every person of his
party on the present tour, pays
the regular railroad fare to the
Pacific coast and return. The
Pullman company furnished the
train without extra charge, and all
railroads haul it for the regular
per cent. An offer was made, to
convey the party without expense,
which President Harrison very
sensiby refused.
The democrats captured the
Minnesota legislature last fall,
after many years of promisin
what great reforms they would
accomplish in such case. Well,
the democratic legislature has ad-,
jourued, with a net result of in
creased state expenditures for the
year of over $1,000,000. Astorian.

Baby's Fearful Suffering from Skin
Disease Covering Kntire Body
Cured by Cuticura.
My baby was taken very sick when he
was three months old, ami in a few days be
gan breaking out. We employed both of
tbe home doctors, and they could do noth
ing for him. Then we sent for the best
doctor in Eaton Rapids, Mich. , and he doc
tored him tor two
weeks, and he got
worse all the time;
and then I took him
to Jackson to a doc
tor who attends es
pecially to skin dis
eases, and then he
got worse than ever.
Then 1 told my hus
band we bad better
try the Cuticdra
Remedies any way; did not have any idea
thoy 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
spot on him. His hair began growing right
off, and we had thought he wonld always
be bald-headed. There was not a spot on
his whole body, face, and head, Only his
nose and eyes, but what was as raw as a
beef-steak. So poor there was not any
thing but bones, and so weak he could raise
neither hand nor head.
