It is always good politics to en force existing laws:, and if they can't be enforced they should be repealed. Oregon will fairly hum when She harvests her immense grain crops of 1891 and sells them at good Harrison prices. Journal. The people at Yaquina City and Newport are making great preparations to entertain the teach ers next month. Some of the larmer boys of Ben tbn county are doing a profitable business raising China pheasants. They find ready sale for them at $5 per pair. The question is, shall the city dwn its water works and electric light plant, or shall the city treas ury be drained by private corpo rations for the present service. American tin is worrying the democratic editors so that they cannot rest at night, and the tin schedule of the McKinley act does not go into effect until July 1st. On July 4th next, and there after, the flag of the United States will contain forty-four stars. Wy oming was not admitted until after July 4th following its admission. The railroad blockade that kept the wheat crop of the Columbia valley and Palouse country from getting to market is not so bad since wheat has gone up to nearly $1 a bushel. How about that 4th of J uly cel ebration? Gentlemen, the time is drawing close at hand and if Cor vallis is to celebrate this year it is full- time our people were making a-move in the matter. The good people who are agitat ed over keeping the World's Faii open 1 on Sunday are worrying themselves unnecessarily. They can go to church on Sunday and let the sinful go to the fair. There is some talk of pardon ing Sandy Olds. Pardon him by all msans;- lie has a brilliant fu ture behind him. He would do well practicing law if he attentive ly listened to his own trial. As torian." An address has been issued to the Southern people calling for contributions- to the Jefferson Davjs' monument fund, and nam ing June 13th as the day upon which every town shall act in the matter. The Nev Orleans grand jury Kevins: exonerated the leaders of the mob that lynched the Italians, it is now in order to send them as missionaries to those misguided communities which believe in always upholding the majesty of the law. Wilful and malicious lies al Ways go home to roost, and the indications notv are that the out rasrpsnnS falsehoods told by the - o - democrats about the McKinley tariff act will do that party a great deal mdre'harrn in '1892 than it did them-good in 1890. It is the universal opinion of all who settle in Corvallis that it is the healthiest city in the "Willamette valley. No other city of its size has a lighter death rate. The knights of reciprocity are causing the democrats of Mary land considerable alarm. They claimto be able to control the next legislature, which will elect two United States senators. The next thing in order is a special city election. Shall the city issue bonds for a system of sewerage, and for the purchase of the water works and the electric light plant, or which? Those who have gone into the business of raising garden truck in the vicinity of Corvallis will find profitable returns for their labor. No one who is willing to work has failed at this business in Oregon. Now that the city election is over Jet the new council get to work under the provisions of the new charter. We want an efficient police force and a rustling street supervisor. Let the council look well to these appointments. This country will probably not half-mast its flags on account of Rudini's last communication sever ing all diplomatic relations with us. lie is like the boy at the de beating, who, having been worsted in every debate, declines to contin tinue the discussion. The fruit crop of Benton county j promises to be abundant, lrees are loaded with fruit and never looked more healthy. While the fruit pests are troubling some orchards here, they are not so no ticeable in Benton as in some other sections of the Willamette valley. The Toledo Blade announces to its readers that "the tide of im migration is rapidly turning to Oregon." Well let them come, there is room in the Willamette valley for a good sized tidal wave of capitalists, business men and industrious farmers and laborers. "I alone am master in this coun try," was the defiance hurled at Bismarck by the Emperor of Ger many in a recent speech. As Bis marck has been elected to the Ger man Reichstag the world will soon see whether the hot-headed young man can make good such a proud boast. Mr. Blaine is very considerate when he calls Rudini's attempt to make people believe that the sec retary of state made use of a confi dential communication in order to answer the Italian's first audacious demand ua total error." In view of the proof presented by Mr. Blaine he would have been justified in calling it an outrageous falsehood. No man is a bankrupt who meets all of his obligations, and that is what the United States treasury is doing. When a- single national obligation of any sort goes to pro test then the people will be ready to believe that a deficit exists, but such a thing will never happen while we have a republican admin istration. The president and party have arrived at home in Washington after having traveled over a terri tory of 10,000 miles without a single accident or a minutes delay on schedule time. During the tour the president made just 140 speeches and probably shook hands with more people than an7 living man in America during the same space of time. The damage done by the May frosts in- the eastern states to the fruit crops- is reported to have been very great. In many places throughout New Jersey and Dela ware the- crop is reported to have been reduced one Jialf. This is two successive years the fruit "-rop of these states have proved a failure or partial failure- Let the people of these states come to Ore gon where crops never fail. Odr May sensation is the Itata and the Esmeralda. In April we had the row with Italy; in March Salisbury and the British lion were our sensation. By June another interesting episode will transpire in some quarter. Every month we have lots of fun fighting im aginary foes and amusing our selves telling what dreadful things would happen shonld foreign fleets frown along our unprotected coasts. Astorian. The throbs of increasing pros perity now being fejt in all branch es of industry and business, in every section of the country, are sharp pains to the gouty old demo cratic hulk, and they tell the story in indisputable language of which party was right about the McKin ley tariff act. The ruin predicted by the democrats last fall is a long way off, unless that party should by accident obtain the control of the government in all its branches and carry out its ruinous ideas. Senator Frye states that our manner of carrying out public improvements is the most waste ful one in the world. When any thing is undertaken in Europe it is carried at once to completion, but in this country the work done with one appropriation is often de stroyed before another can be had, and as a consequence our improve ments have cost us on an average fully twenty-five per cent more than they would have cost had we acted like the governments of Europe. Work on the portage railway at the Cascades will now go forward without delay. This means much to the commerce of Eastern Ore gon, and the people of that sec tion are no doubt happy. But how about the improvements of the upper Willamette. The water is getting down to its low stage again, and if it continues to fall tha boats will soon have to tie up for a couple of months or more, all for the want of a comparative ly small appropriation to clear the channel of a few snags and sand bars. Two Tammany democrats who have been proven guilty of accept ing bribes while holding municipal offices, and who only escaped well merited punishment through legal technicalities, have just been ap pointed to lucrative and responsi ble positions under the city gov ernment of New York. And yet we find otherwise intelligent men short-sighted enough to advocate the turning of the national govern ment over to Tammany Hall, for that is just what the election of a democratic president next year would mean. One would suppose that ex Representative Barksdale, of Mis sissippi, was proposing to lead an army into a bloody battle instead of the farmers alliance of his state in an assault upon the senatorial seat now occupied by Mr. George, to read his bloodthirsty language. The following historical" quotation he recently gave as expressing his feelings: uIf I fall, avenge me; if I retreat, slay me; if I advance, follow me." When t he oifice-seek-ing itch gets hold of a man he seems to lose whatever common sense he may have previously possessed. The report of C. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific, to the directors shows that "a con siderable part of the increase in earnings from commercial freight is due to the development of the fruit industry, in Oregon and California.- On the lines in Oregon the increase in freight earnings amounts to $112,644, the principal part of which is local. The through freight over these lines is still small, but shows a large in crease over the preceding year. In the local tonnage there has been an increase on the main line of about 20 per cent., arising from the natural growth of the country and the unusually long period of low water in the Willamette river." OUR PROSPEROUS YEAR. There is every reason to believe that this year is as peaceful and prosperous as any that has ever passed over the world, and yet it is full of all sorts of disasters and of rumors that excite the fears of the timid. There is war in Chila and India, and threatend war in Peru and Africa. There is a financial collapse in Argentia and another one imminent in Portugal. There are floods along the Rio Grande and the lower Mississippi and destructive fires in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Add to these the rumors ot im pending strife in Europe and the rapid exportation of gold from this country which threatens a mon etary for us when the time comes to move the crops, and it will be seen that for a peaceful and pros perous world we are certainly hav ing trouble enough. Back of all these actual disasters and rumors of war that attract the attention of men, there is looming up always larger and darker from year to year the black cloud of socialism, and the strife between capital and labor. Never was this cloud more portenlious than now, and never perhaps was the light ning of its strikes shown more vindictively. In every portion of the world these are going on, and what deserves special note is that they are manifesting themselves more in the countries of high wages like the United States and Australia than anywhere else. No man can forsee the outcome of all these things, which if they were duly considered would pre sage a future doubtful enough. Fortunately mankind never pays much attention to anything except its present and pressing business. We know that the things that con cern us individually are going well and so we call this a prosperous year, not caring to estimate the ruin and the fears elsewhere. It is quite possible, however, that this prosperous year of ours may be written down by the historian of the future as a year of. anxiety and unrest out of which the world emerged into a truly peaceful and prosperous epoch only after long strife and bibor, and witli great bitterness, confusion and suffering. San Jose Mercury. It seems never to have entered the minds of some of the political agitators among the farmers, that the true way to make agriculture prosperous and profitable, is to protect and extend our own man ufactures so as to increase the mar ket for the food produced by the farmers. Nobody would suffer more than the fanners tnemselves if the free traders could have their way and destroy the manufactur ing industries of this country. They either forget, or are too ignor ant to know, that even if we adopted absolute free trade, Eu rope would not buy any more of our agricultural products than she does now, unless she could get them cheaper than she could buy them of Russia, India or Aus tralia. This is not republican doc trine alone; no less a person than Mr. Colman, who was at the head of the agricultural department un der President Cleveland, said: "No amount of advertising, no proffer of reciprocal trade, no choice of fiscal policy can force on Europe another peck of wheat per capita, scarcely another quart, for many years to come, unless unex pected disaster shall befall her crops." Toledo Blade. Bellamy's ideal theories advanc ed in his book 'Looking Back ward" is being put to a practical test in Santa Clara county, Cali fornia. A colony has leased 1S60 acres of land for five years and propose to set up a Bellamy gov ernment. We predict that the head of the concern will come out at the end of the five years with well-filled purses and the colony will have the experience and be J left to battle with the cruel chari ties of a cold world, Strangkrs who come to Cor vallis say there is as much busi n ?ss done here as in any city of its size on the Pacific coasl; but what we need is more manufactories to give employment to the laboring classes. For instance our foundy should be in operation, employing from ten to twelve hands, the can nery project should be carried out and put in operation for next sea son's fruit crop, it would give em- j ployment to 75 or 100 people din ing the fruit season besides furnish ing a market and bringing better . fruit and vegetables. RAW AS BEIT-STEAK. Baby's Fearful Suffering from Skin Disease Covering Entire Body Cured by Cuticura. My baby was taken very sick wlii-n lu; was three months oM, and in a few days be gau breaking out. We employed both of the home doctors, and they could do noth ing for him. Then we sent for the best doctor in Ent'.n Itipids, Mich., and he doc tored him tor two weeks, and he t;ot worse all the time; and then I took him mi Jackson to a doc tor who attmds es pecially to skin dis eases, and then he got worse than ever. Then I told my hi-.s-hand we had better try the Cuticura Remedies any way; did not have any idea they would do any good, but in less tliau two months from the time we began givim; them to him he was entirely well, and not a spot on him. His hair beg.m "rowing right off, and we had thought be would 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. Mrs. Frank Barrett, Winfield, Mich. Cuticura Resolvent.
