It is not surprising that ex-Senator
Ingalls is in demand as a
lecturer. lie is one of the few
who never fail to say something
interesting- when they talk.
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

' 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.

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.

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. W. R. MEAD,
