The condition of Mr. Blaine's Health seems at this time to worry the democratic and mugwump press more than anything else. Has the fact that next year is presidential year anything to do with this? One of the longest and most costly steel railroad bridges in the country is now being erected by the Union Pacific across the Col umbia river at Vancouver, Wash. Tha length from the Washington to the Oregon shore will be 6000, and the draw pier will be over 400 feet long. The structure will cost over $4,000,000. If our friends, the Farmers Al liance, are not careful they will overdo the educational business. At this season of the year too much talk is apt to give a man Hhat tired feeling" which bodes no good' for the talker. Better give the jaws a rest and let the printing press do all the educat ing during: the warm weather. Henry Watterson, says Gove-nor-Senator Hill, has never cleared himself of the suspicion of having been a traitor to his party. Now if somebody will get the Govenor Senator fmake public his opin ion of the blue grass editor, things will be evened up, as it is certain that .Hill loves Watterson quite as much as Watterson loves Hill. Secretary Foster has made many new friends by declining to be bulldozed by Powderly and the executive committee of the knights of labor. Right or wrong, no or ganization has any right to dictate to the head of a department what lie- .shall or shall not do, and the great mass of the people may be relied upon to back up the man who has the nerve to resent any attempt to dictate to him, no mat ter who makes it. It is easy to talk about extrava gant appropriations of the last congress, but why is it that our democratic friends do not specify the particular appropriations that they consider extravagant? We know that the average democrat is opposed to pensioning the Union veterans, and would gladly, if it could be done secretly, refuse to appropriate another cent for pen sions, but where is the democrat who is- willing to openly charge tiiat the- money appropriated for the old soldiers is an extravagance? The late Horace Greeley may have been erratic, but we have an idea that he was hewing along the correct line when he wrote: "Sentiment never controls a Na tional convention. The delegates are always shrewd politicians who want their party to win; and after weighing the merits and demerits of all candidates the majority centers upon the man whom it be lieves can poll the most votes. When conventions make mistakes they are errors ot judgment and sentiment has nothing to do with it.?' . Jerry Simpson making third party speeches in New York and Ohio is a. very different individual in the- eyes- of democrats, from Jerry Simpson making third party speeches in Georgia. It's all very nice to have the Farmers Alliance in the republican states go into the third party movement, but it is rank treason for such a thing to be even talked about in the demo cratic South. Republican mem bers of the alliance are not as blind as some of the Southern democrats believe them to be, as will be seen before long. ' There is untold wealth lying at the very feet of the citizens o Newport in the cod fisheries if only they choose to reach tor it, Almost any quantity of this' fish may be caught here and yet not onecity in the valley is supplied with Newport fish. It is a mam mouth industry which lacks only energy to develop. For the time being cold storage is the only nec essary outlay of capital, and being had, the industry will pay for its own upbuilding and improve ments. It would be no transient speculation, but would be right here year in and year out. It would be almost safe to say that the town business would pay fo the cold storage when completed leaving the expense to the fishing industry a mere nothing. Corval lis, Albany, baleni, H.ugene ana many other points could be sup plied with fresh bass, cod, flounder. halibut, perch, and other varieties right off the ice all summer long cheaper than Portland could fur nish them, to say nothing of clams crabs, oysters, rock oysters, etc. with which this point abounds Although Newport is several years old this Eldorado has lain here dormant all this time for the want of enterprise on the part of whom? Not Newport people; it would not do to say that, but the people of Arizona. A fine place to build a cold storage depot could be had here not a stones throw rrom tne wnart witn ample room underground for any amount of storage and this could be entered on a level with the main street of the town. Sugar beet raising is a fine industry, our coal mines noth ing slow, but this fishery industry is out of sight when compared with them and yet is untouched Can we not make some move that will start the ball to rolling? A long pull, a strong pull, and a pul altogether would start it. New port Times. ' OREGON W EATER SERVICE. In co-operation with U. S. Weather Bureau of the Depart ment of Agriculture, Centra office, Portlaud, Oregon. Crop- Weather Bulletin, No. 20. For week ending, Saturday, July 25, 1891. WESTERN OREGON WEATHER. Thursday, the 25th was the warmest day on record; the maxi mum temperature ranged from 96 to 105 degrees. The 22nd and 24th were warm while to-day is much cooler. On the evening of the 23d thunder storms were ob served in various localities, though little rain fell. CROPS. The hot weather was favorable to the ripening of grain but slightly injurious to gardens. Wheat harvest is generally "in operation and reports indicate larger and more plump grains and better heads than were even an ticipated. Oats are doing well and ripening rapidly. The codlin moth is becoming dangerous and doing damage; the apple crop will be poor. The hop louse is fairly well under control. Green corn and peaches are ripe and plentiful; the peach crop is the largest on record. Prunes are generally not over an average crop, though in Douglas county the trees are heavily loaded with fruit. Hay harvest, in sections, continues, and all reports indicate heavy yields. Reports from the wheat districts of the world, jother than the Uni ted States, indicate a general de ficiency, this means a demand for American wheat and good prices. Already there are signs of increas ed prices and it bids fair to be as high or higher than previous prices. Oregon is to be congratulated on its immense yield and prospec tive good prices, resulting in pros perous times for the agriculturist. B. S. Pague, Observer. Small & Son have opened their ice cream parlors and are serving a de- j licious article. BETTER THAN THE OLD. Men are prone to look back on old times as good times, when the world went better than it does to day and the sun shone consider ably brighter. The mists of years soften outlines and round off angles. The man looking back ward sees things thus softened and poetized. At least too' often for truth the ordinary man so sees the past and depicts it to the pres ent. There are some men who are so gifted with the ability to put aside illusions that they can paint the past as it was, not as it might, could, would, or should have been. Col. S. C. Wrightington comes within this category, and his pic ture of labor in a New England manufacturing town fifty years ago is a revelation to this genera tion and a reminiscence whose fidelity will be recognized by all who were toilers at that time. Life and labor in the mills in the time described were hard. The operative worked longer than the operative of to-day, and under conditions more unfavorable to his comfort. Neither were the labor ing classes so well fed and housed as they are to-day. It does not appear, however, that the laborers of fifty years ago felt their lot to be a particularly hard one. Everybody labored hard and long then. The mill people only labor ed with the rest. That the moral and intellectual tone of mill opera tives was much higher then than it is to-day is undoubtedly a fact. It is certified to by the fact that so large a portion ot tliem came from the hardy, intelligent yeo manry of New England. The op eratives were intelligent, not be cause of their surroundings, but despite them. The laboring classes of to-day are better paid, better clothed, and better housed tnan tneir iatners were, They have more money and they spend more. It is often said of them that they spend all, but that is not the truth as demonstrated by the tremendous growth of sav ings banks deposits. - The progress of the laboring class in the matter of wage earning is often lost sight of by them, and is carefully kept out of their sight by professional agitators who fatten on the discon tent tney stir up. In reality the improvement of their lot has kept pace with the improvement of the general lot. Making due allow ance for the cost of preparation and study, we doubt if the ordi nary professional men as a class earn incomes as greatly in excess of those their fathers earned as are tne incomes ot laboring men of 1891 over those of 1841. The improvement in the lot of the la boring classes has been due to the introduction ot labor-saving ma chinery, to better transportation facilities, to the growth of the be- ief that recreation is not only not wasteful, but positively necessary, and to the opportunity our form of government offers for working re forms without causing revolutions Elmira Telegram. Those sanguine people in the Willamette valley and in this val- ey who have been telling us that the codlin moth hasn't come around for business this year had better leave off huggin "the delu sive phantom of hope" and go to work spraying their trees if they want any good sound marketable apples, for there is no doubt that the moth has been at work at a ively rate within the past two or three weeks both in Southern Ore gon and in the Willamette. Or, chadists who began to spray early n the season and left it off be cause they or some of their neigh bors didn't see the codlin moth working at their trees from sun up to sundown with a broad-ax, or ring their applet with a news paper auger, had better resume work with the spray pump. If they have all failed to keep up the spraying regularly at frequent in tervals, we shall never be able to convince the skeptical ones that there is anything in spraying, any how. Ashland Tidings. Every report of good crops and prosperous times fqr the farmers is an additional thorn in the sides of the democratic calamity wail ers. - The democratic partv has al ways prospered most when the people suffered most, and it is for that reason that it dreds the era of prosperity which is now dawning upon the country, brought about by republican legislation, and which we would have had long ago had the republicans controlled all branches of the government, as they did during the first two years of President Harrison's adminis tration, and it is a matter of con gratulation that the democratic house of representatives, which was elected by false representa tions to the people, will not be able to undo the good work done by the republican house, much as the democrats would enjoy doing it, and the attempts that are cer tain to be made in that direction will only convince the people of the country of the necessity of electing a republican presi dent and house next year. TORTURING ECZEMA! Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In sufferable Itching and Tata by the Cutlcura Kerne dies. No Less Than Five Physicians Consulted. Their Combined Wismom Followed WithOut Benefit. I am sixty-six years old. In August, 1889, was troubled with the peculiar akin disease to which people of my age are sub ject, known among medical men as eczema. Its hrst appearance was near the ankles. It rapidly extended over the lower extremi ties until my legs were nearly one raw sore; from legs the trouble extended across the hips, shoulders 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 in a few days as bad as ever; during its progress my weight fell away about twenty-five pouuds. As an experiment -I began the use of Cuti 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.
