The latest Ohio campaign song: ''Up conies McKinley from the bottom of the sea." The gold product of the United States for the past sixteen years foots up over $572,000,000. A Josephike county farmer was beat out of $.175 last week on old "green goods" game. A piano is the only place whare sharps and flats have an equal chance. It is estimated that the wealth of the United States now exeeds the weath of the whole world at any period prior to the middle of the eighteenth century.

Neably three hundred designs were sent in to the director of the mint in response to the invitation to submit designs for the new sil ver dollar, half dollar, quarter and dime. The committee, after care ful examination, rejected all of them. Not one possessed sufficient merit to justify a change from the present coins. Tee shipment of fruit from Cali fornia infected with what is com monly known as the San Jose scale bug, is becoming of such frequent occurrence that a storm of indig nation is brewing, both in Oregon and Washington. President Bu , oey, of the Washington State Board of Hortioulture, in a recent order in this connection, said: "California growers must wipe from the surface of the oranges shipped to this state the pest known as the San Jose scales, otherwise they will be liable to arrest and fine of $25 to $100 by the state fruit inspector." This is rather a small penalty, but it may have some effect on California shippers, and Oregon should now impose a penalty for the offense. Oregoniaiv Notwithstanding its "billion dollar congress," the republican administration has succeeded in perfecting arrangements for con verting $60,000,000 of its 4 per cent, bonds, showing the confi dence of the Nation's creditors in its financial soundness under the management of the republican party and their belief that the cur rency heresies of the farmers' al liance and the silver schemes of the democrats will not be endorsed by the people. The nations credit was established by the Avise ad ministration of its affairs by the republican, party, and that, too, nndfer the most disadvantageous oircumstances of an enormous debt created' to save it from dis ruption, and a continuance of this credit must depend upon . a con tinuance of the financial policy of the party that established it. These- bonds are chiefly held by National banks as security for the currency they have issued and with- which the people are trans acting business, and are a far bet ter foundation upon which to base an issue of paper money than are turnips and cabbages. Oregonian. A marvelous device for record ing both sound and motion has been invented by Thomas A. Edi son. The new wonder will be call ed the "Kineograph," a strange sounding title to the ear to-day, but destined perhaps soon to be come as familiar as locomotive or telephone. Mr. Edison has been at work on this newest conception of his genius for three years. Now that he know its basic principle is all right all that remains to be done is to perfect the details. The new invention is a combination machine, in which the phonograph and the photographic camera work together. It will reproduce not only sound, but also a picture of what passes before it, not a mere instantaneous impression of ob jects, but a continuous represen tation of them for a considerable space of time. Mr. Edison claims that his new instrument will re produce an opera. The phono graph will render the music and the photographic apparatus will reproduce the performers so that their presence on the stage will be depicted, every muscle on their faces will be seen to work, their strides, movements, all will be true to nature. To produce this result it was necessary for the inventor to be able to take a series of in stantaneous photographs, follow ing each other in such quick suc cession that no lapse of time can be detected between the impres sions recorded, and the series of pictures become in effect but one continuous picture. Operated by I an electric motor, his camera will take forty-six impressions in one second of time, and in this way the impressions are recorded so rapidly that the motions become resolved into pure motion instead of a series of jerks. The impressions are re corded on a long roll of gelatine paper fastened to a spindle which passes over a photographic lense. AN OREGON VALLEY. Dr. Henry W. Coe, for many years a prominent citizen of Man dan, N. D., in a letter written from Portland, Oregon, says: The Willamette valley is the garden spot of the world. The yield here is simply enormous and never failing. This whole valley was no doubt at one time under water, the ocean water flowing back with the tides, and in time the wash of the hills gradually filled in the valley, ' making the soil what it is now. If we were to imagine Puget Sound in say twenty or thirty thousand years from- now, after it lias been nar rowed down to a stream into which the mountain brooks pour their contents and flow on to the ocean, we might perhaps see a country such as is this valley of the Wil lamette. As I can't wait for that to occur, I shall have to remain in a valley which is already formed. This valley is closely settled in some spots, but as a whole it has not begun to be developed. It is strange to me to see other and less favored regions settled during the past twenty years and this region so neglected. In one district in the valley, within a radius of six miles square and this radius not half under the plow, probably not a quarter Jast year there was paid in more than $400,000 in gold for its hop crop alone. The valley as a whole has not more than from one to three per cent, under cultivation. It does not take a large area to make a liv ing on either. Last year hops were very high; however. One man managed to secure one and a three quarter acres, and from it sold $2,100 worth of hops. IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS. Governor Pe.anoyer, Tuesday, appointed Thomas 11. Sheridan, of Roseburg, as a member of the state board of equalization, to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of John Burnett. W. A. Sample, of Helix, was also appoint ed a member of the board of re gents of the state agricultural col lege, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of T. E, Cauthorn . HARRISON'S ADMINISTItA TION ., State Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, has lately given a re porter of the New York World his views on the coming struggle for the presidency in 1892. Like all presidential campaigns, it is to be the "most important in the history of the country." As to the prob able issues in the next canvass, he has only to say that until the country kas had an oppor tunity of seeing just what the next house of representatives is going to do, it is almost to early to talk about issues. The tariff ques tion is not going to assume any such proportions as it did in 188S, but it is an issue that will never disappear from our national poli tics. The silver question will un doubtedly be brought forward more emphatically than it ever has been before, the democratic house is pledged to take some radical ac tion on this subject, and it is a question whether the republican senate may not be betrayed into shaking hands with the democratic on this subject by the silver fanat ics in its membership. Maritime supremacy and wide trade rela tions, under the provisions of the reciprocity clause in the tariff law, with South American states and other foreign countries will un doubtedly receive more considera tion than has ever before been given to the subjects in national campaigns. As to the chances for republican success, it should be understood that the present ad ministration is .pre-eminently a working administration. Never before was so much, so important, and so brilliant work done in so many departments in lime of peace as has been done under the lead of President Harrison. Mr. Blaine, in his correspondence with Brazil, Spain, England, Canada, and Italy, has added new laurels to his crown. Mr. Tracy, in the navy department, is giving us the finest battle-ships in the world. Mr. Proctor has won golden opin ions in the war department and earned the applause of the nation for the management of the Indian war. Attorney-General Miller has given unprecedented vigor and efficiency to his department. Sec retary Noble has conservatively, but firmly and fairly solved many vexed questions which his prede-' cessors shirked and avoided. Grand old Jerry Rusk has already given his department an impor tance and dignity and worth not anticipated for years, and John Wannamaker has initiated and pushed far on their way adminis trative reforms in the postal ser vice that will endure to bless the people for many years. The ac tual work of Mr. Harrison and his cabinet honestly placed before the people will be an unanswerable campaign document. Then, too, it must not be forgotten that the record of the last congress under republican leadership, acting in entire accord with and in response to the wishes of the administra tion, is one of the most brilliant in our history. In sixteen months, under the lead of Thomas B. Reed, that congress gave us more affirma tive beneficent legislation upon more vital questions than the con gress of sixteen years of demo cratic control. As these con current act of administrative ex cellence running through all de partments under republican con trol are brought more and more clearly home to the people the chances of republican success ap proach closer to the solid ground of certainties. A census bulletin just issued is devoted to educational statistics. From this bulletin it is learned that Oregon's per cent, of change in population from 1880 to 1890 was 79.53, while the per cent of gain in public school enrollment was 69.23. In Oregon the relation of sexes in public schools is male teachers to female teachers nearly as 10' to 9.6. The enrollment at night schools iu Oregon is 200. , Ahong the cities of the Willam ette "now displaying push and" en terprise is Corvallis. It recently did a big thing in securing a large wagon factory, has a two mile street car line, a splendid school and other institutions within the last two or three years. With shipping facilities only equalled by Albany it is bound to make a good city. Albany Democrat. The Democrat is right, Corvallis has the location and material to make a live city. Business is be coming more active and money more plentiful and it all of our business men and citizens will work harmoniously together in all public undertakings there is no reason why Corvallis should not be a live and prosperous city. Al bany did a big thing for the future of that city when she let the con tract for an $83,000 steel bridge to span the Willamette, and it will not be a graat while before Corval lis will do likewise. TORTURING ECZEMA! Editor Iowa I "lain Dealer Cured of In sufferable Itching; and Pain loy the Cuticura Remedies. No Less Than Fire Physicians Consulted.

In August, 18S9, was troubled with the peculiar skin niuu-ion tri whiVh nprml. nf mv atre are sub- L I - tj ject, known among medical men as eczema. Its first appearance was near tne anKies. It rapidly extended over the lower extremi ties until my legs were nearly one raw sore; from legs the trouble extended across the hips, shouldors and the entire length of the arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen with an itching, burning pain, without ces sation. Although the best medical advice attainable was employed, no less than five physicians of the place being consulted and the prescriptions bi-iug the result of their combined-wisdom, the disease, though ap parently checked, would recur iu a few days as bad as ever; during its progress my weight fell away about twenty-rive pounds. As an experiment I began the use of Cdti CURA. following the simple and plain in structions given with the Remedies, and in four weeks found myself well, with skin soft and natural in color, the itching and pain entirely relieved.
