Charles A. Danna evidently
doesn't regard Cleveland as "in it"
whatever the rest of the demo
eratic party may think about it.

The democratic nominees for
governor of Ohio and Iowa are
both trying to straddle the silver
plank in the democratic platform;
but come to think ot it, that is
nothing new; democratic candi
dates have always done the same.
The New York Sun favors the
annexation of Cuba, and the Sun
is by no means alone. That Cuba
will sooner or later become the
property of the United States we
have always believed. The only
,. question to be determined is to
how to acquire it.
New Yorkers are again dis
cussing ways and means of raising
the money to build the Grant
monument. Did it ever occur to
these gentlemen, many of whom
are wealthy, that the quickest way
to raise the money would be to
contribute it themselves.
Senator Mitchell has received a
letter from the chairman of the re
publican state central committee
of Ohio, inviting him to partici
pate in the campaign in the Buck
eye state. The chairman says:
."We are to have a hard fight, and
the enemy are already at work."
Cleveland isn't to make any
speeches in the Ohio campaign this
year; not if he knows himself, and
he thinks he does. This will be a
great disappointment to the repub
licans, as the presence of the king
of the free traders in Ohio would
have added a thousand or two to
ifcKinley's majority.
The lowering clouds of last week
fiave drifted into the remote no
where, the sun shines brightly in
a clear sky, the earth is no longer
wet with the untimely rains, the
farmers anxious looks have de
parted, brightness and glory fill all
the summer day, and the natural
proper Oregon is again with us.
The underhanded attacks made
upon Mr. Blaine by misrepresent
ing his health have proven to be
boomerangs in more than one
sense. Experience is the only
thing that will teach some people.
The fellow who once picks up a
piece of white hot iron will hardly
Tepeat the experiment willingly.
We have been asked if this paper
lias a candidate for the presidency.
We have no- hesitation in saying
that it has. Our choice is the
man upon whom a majority of. the
delegates to th next national con
vention shall agree as the proper
man to lead the party to victory.
We trust that this explanation will
be sufficiently explicits
The New York correspondent of
the Inter Ocean asserts that the
most serious complaints are heard
about the bond market. It is
difficult to sell even the .best class
of bonds, and almost as difficult to
secure loans on; them. It would
appear from this that there is not
such a large supply of money in
the country as the gold men would
Rave us believe, and perhaps when
the cinch occasioned by the ox
port of gold becomes tighter some
f them will be able to see some
Tiriue in silver-
The income tax plank of the
Ohio democratic platform was, in
the language of its author, Hon.
G. W. Houk, of Dayton, inserted
because it would "capture lots of
farmers votes." Mr. Houk will
probably discover in the near fu
ture that Ohio farmers are not so
green as he and his democratic col
leagues supposed them to be.
The Italian government in de
clining to take any official part in
our Columbian Exposition is only
carrying out the policy it has fol
lowed for some years in regard to
international expositions, but it
does not follow that Italy will be
unrepresented at the big show.
The Italian government has al
ready let it be understood that it
will do all that it can to encourage
its citizens to make private ex
hibits and present indications are
that Italian interests will be large
ly represented at the fair.
Secretary Foster deserves cred
it for having refused to allow the
sons of tsvo prominent treasury de
partment officials to be appointed
private secretaries to their fathers.
The practice among officials of
placing members of their immedi
ate families upon the government
pay rolls is at best a bad one, and
should be entirely abolished as far
as republicans are concerned. It
has been the cause of more than
one scandal. We tip our hat to
the man who dares to do right,
even thougli he thereby offends
some of his friends.
MORTGAGE FACTS.
A preliminary statement of the
real estate mortgages of the coun
try has been issued by the census
office, and it overthrows at one
blow the whole edifice of false
hood told about our mortgaged in
debtedness. There are about 2,
250,000 mortgages on farms and
homes in the entire country. The
Alliance orators of the West have
been declaring that there are 9,
000,000 of them. The census
knocks off three out of every four
claimed. The total is only one
fourth of the nine million.
Furthermore, the total amount
of the mortgages is $2,565,000,000
which is not over one-third of the
total actual value of the property
mortgaged. That is, on an aver
age the men who have borrowed
money on their farms or houses
owe one third of their value and
own the other two-thirds. Is
their condition so terrible as the
overdrawn pictures that have been
made thereof? And it is to be
remembered that the total value
of all- these mortgages, large
as it is, does not cover over 8 per
cent, of the total value of real
estate in the entire Union. With
92 per cent, free from debt, the
country is not in danger of going
to the dogs because ot mortgages.
There is another important fact
in this connection. About two
thirds of the total of these mort
gages was on the purchase of real
estate; that is, it was not money
borrowed on the security of the
land because of financial troubles.
They paid one-third of the pur
chase money down and mortgaged
the property for the two-thirds;
and, better than all, they are
steadily paying off their debt.
They are honest men, and do not
require the nation's currency to
be debased in purchasing power
in order to allow them to cheat
their creditors out of part of the
money they honestly owe.
OUR NAVY.
The Naval Annual, an English
publication compiled by v Lord
Brassey, shows this year that the
United States and Spain lead all
other nations in the swiftness of
their war vessels, and that we rank
first with England and Italy in the
strength of vessel armors. Eng
land leads in tonnage and ship
building, and France in the num
ber of vessels available for war.
The United States ranks third in
tonnage and ranks second with
France in the number of ships un-,
der construction. 1
Oh yes, the McKinley tariff law
is destroying our foreign com
merce, and this is the way it is do
ing it: A statement recently is
sued by the bureau of statistics of
the treasury department shows
that our foreign commerce for the
year ending June 30th, was the
largest in our history, amounting to
$1,729,330,896; it also shows that
under the first nine months of the
McKinley tariff law we imported
merchandise to the value of $630,
206,005, while for the same period
in the year before our imports
amounted to only $598,869,909;
also that under the McKinley law
the goods admitted free of duty
amounted to $295,963,662 against
$208,983,873 for the same period
in the year before. How the
democratic lies by which they
secured control of the house ot
representatives last year are going
home to roost.
OREGON WEATHER REPORT,
FOR WESTERN OREGON, FOR WEEK ENDING
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1891.
WEATHER.
The temperature has been from
2 to 5 degrees a day below the
average for the week. On Tues
day and Wednesday thunder
storms were quite general and
rain fell, especially in the Wil
lamette valley and along the coast;
rain also fell on Thursday and Fri
day, while to-day is clearing
weather and warmer. The rain
fall was heaviest in Multnomah
and Columbia counties and grad
ually decreased to the south, es
pecially south of Marion county;
south of the Calapooia mountains
less than .15 of an inch of rain
fell; in a few sections hail fell on
the 5 th.
CROPS.
The rain did no material dam
age to the wheat crop; much of
the fall wheat was cut and in
shock, ready for the thresher, and
about all the damage done was
the delay which will crowd fall
wheat threshing and spring wheat
cutting close together. There are
a few reports of wheat having fal
len, but this is practically nothing.
A continuation of the rain would
have caused the wheat to sprout;
but the clearing weather was most
timely. Threshed wheat in Polk
and Yamhill counties has been
averaging from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre; oats also yielded well.
In some sections plowing for sum
mer-fallowing is in progress. The
rains were of great benefit to root
crops, gardens, pasturage, young
orchards and had a tendency to
destroy and cause a cessation of
the ravages made by the hop
louse and codlin moth. The four
days of rain was most unusual
for this season of the year, but
fortunately no damage was done
and good results are expected from
it.
