They have played Ilill a little loo long. Se lah. Thk farmers who obeyed -IIold your wheat" circular, wot going around bragging of money they are making. the are the Jack Dempsey is coming home. He has been suffering for many months with malaria, and his friends for a while expressed fears tltat he was in the first stages ol consumption. Argentine gold is at a premium f 288. " Government loans on land brought it to this high figure. Happily the advocates of this dangerous doctrine in this coun try are becoming less numerous. The senate committee on priv ileges and elections has submitted ar report to the senate seating Fred T. Dubois, contestant for senatorial honors nsainst Mr. Claecet, of Idaho, and the former will retain iiis seat in the senate. The New York democracy is in a hopeless state of division. The Cleveland faction is out, resolv ing and whereasing against the Hill element, and it seems to be rather uncertain who will dom ineer in the counsels of the party. Outside of New York Cleveland is certainly the man. The south will sustain him in the convention. The horticulturists of Oregon are beginning the work of raising funds for a creditable horticultural exhibit at llie world's fair in earn est. " Oregon has been allotted 4000 square feet for the purpose. At a recent meeting in Portland between $2000 and $3000 was sub scribed. It is expected $10,000 can be raised for the exhibit. A late census bulletin is devoted fo the subject of paupers in alms houses. It shows that the average age of the almshouse pauper is 51 years. In the far west one-half of all these paupers are between the ages of GO and SO years. In the almshouse of Oregon, there aire ninety-nine paupers, thirteen of whom are women. The oldest man is 100 years and the oldest woman 85. ' Charles Haddon Spurgeox, the preacher, is dead. "Few men have lived who possessed the pulpit powers of .Spurgeon, and few to day adhere to the simplicity of or thodoxy with the decision that 1x3 has always maintained in the work of Christianization. The loss of Dr. Spurgeon's .. influence in the religious. world will be sorely felt and earnestly lamented. Another great man has passed away. Our governor recommends that congress appropriate, nearly $500, 000 for a portage railway at Celilo, above The Dalles on the Columbia river. : 'Although not an admirer Ht the "billion-dollar congress,' the governor is very willing for Oregon to make quite a dip into the national treasury. Thus it goes. ; Each individual wants all he can get for his old home, but he howls when he sees the figures of the. grand aggregate. Grant's Jasi Courier- A bill introduced by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is now pend ing in the house for the admission of Utah as a state. . This, of course, will find opposition from the ob structionists in the house, but Senator Bushnell's resolution on the subject, declaring that Utah has a larger population than the three adjoining states of Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada combined, will find favor among conservative men in either party. The admis sion ot tins territory promises, Itowever, to become a political issue. : . The early fruit growers of Ore gon had a wonderful market for a few years atT San Francisco. In nve nunareu ousneis oi ap ples were shipped from Oregon to San Francisco and returned a net profit of from one dollar and fifty cents to two dollars per pound. In 1S5& l lie shipments rose to six thousand . bushels which sold at Irom twenty to thirty dollars per bushel. In 1856 the shipments rose to twenty thousand . boxes, &ven m mis year Dig prices were received, and for choice fruit fancy figures were obtained, one box of Esopus Spitzenberg selling for sixty dollars.' The Californians planted apple trees, and after 1860 I he shipment of apples from Ore gon began to decline.' Apple rais ing was more profitable than gold mining for the first half dozen years of the industry in Oregon. Dalles Times-Mountaineer describes democratic consistency as follows. The - present condi tion of the party verifies the de scription. We quote: "A democrat, in his conscience, is; a different -being from a democrat on the "stump-' desiring votes for an office. In his inner consciousness he is a free trader; but before the public he is simply for "tariff reform" and in favor of protecting the lax-payer from "unnecessary burdens." His only objection, to the people, against the protective policy, is that something better could be done for the laborer. When he is elected to congress, this same self sacrificing, philan thopic democrat formulates a shabby Morrison's Horizontal re duction measure or Mills' protect ive bill to southern planters, cuts down appropriations for the navy, coast defenses and rivers and har bors, then goes before the country j as the friend(?) of the poor man." "We have caret ully watcneu me subterfuges of the democratic party for years, and its duplicit3r has been marked. On free-trade it has the same double policy that it has on national finances, and in read ing its platforms it is incumbent on every intelligent elector to scan between the lines and to be con versant with its past history." MORE FARMERS' INSTITUTES. A series of farmers' institutes is being held iu the state of Oregon this winter under the auspices of the state agrcultural college. Of the beneficial results of these insti tutes there can be no question. That they are beginning to be ap preciated is also apparent. The only thing that is wrong about the matter is that there are not enough of them. With only six institutes annu ally in a state the size of Oregon it will be a long time before the niass of the farmers will be able to avail themselves of the benefits to be derived therefrom. It is also true that the beneficial results are far greater when the instiutes are held repeatedly in the same local ity. It is necessary that the farm ers become familiar with these institutes in order to understand how useful they are. The first in stitute held in any locality is apt to be. in a greater or less degree, dis couraging. The seed sown is not, however, entirely wasted, and the next time an institute is held in that locality a greater interest will be manifested. It would be a grand thing for Oregon if one or two institutes could be held in each county in the 6tate every year. - It will not be many years before we reach that state of affairs and the sooner the better. Increase of knowledge and improved methods are neces sary in order to keep up with the procession. As a matter of fact the farmers of Oregon are in many respects necessarily far behind the farmers of states like Wisconsin and. Indiana and have greater need of institutes than farmers in those states. In Wisconsin two series oi institutes are running throughout the winter, and in In diana ninety-one are held during the season. In consideration of the amount of good done, the cost of holdin farmers' institutes is small. lhe greater part of the work is done gratuitously. There ought, how ever, to be a lixed sum appropri ated by the state for institute work One-half or one-third of the amount which is expended for the support of its ornamental militia would be sufficient to do wonders in the way of holding farmers' institutes. If the farmers of the state are wise they will demand of their representatives that an ade quate appropriation be made for an institute fund. After institutes have been held once or twice in each county in the state the farm ers can be depended upon to make such a demand. If thev do not make it now with sulncient vigor it is because they have not yet had the opportunity to Jearn their value. Rural Northwest. . That our coast defenses are in adequate is beginning to be real ized by congress is a hopeful sign. The United States has a large ex tent of sea coast and it will require large sums of money to properl3T protect all the important points. Yet this should be done. It is a matter of great interest to the whole country that this work should be proceeded with, without delay. Our whole Pacific coast needs better protection. It is un wise for a great government like ours to leave unprotected such a large territory. The government cannot do better than protect the country from invasion in case of war with some foreign nation. Mb. Cleveland says that the Business Men's Democratic Asso ciation of New York, is composed of men who," "in a disinterested way, devote themselves fo honest party work." This is good. The shade of Andrew Jackson must writhe in agony at the modern methods of "honest party work'1 as typified in New York. CLOISTERED CHRISTIANITY.' An exchange, viewing things in the light of Christianity, has the following reflections to offer. The words are well said : The retirement of a young and lovely woman within a convent wall for li'fe is not a pleasant spec tacle of youth, beauty, affection and goodness placed through the sincere convictions of their pos sessor where they can never be what nature meant they should be, the beneficent light of the outer world incarnated in the form of a pure and loving woman, whose sainly shape, whether as "wife, mother or maid, should be as dem ocratic in its ways and walks as was the Master himself, who gave his life that humanity "for the people, of the people and by the people might not perish from the earth!" Christ was born in scenes that were wide open to the day, flourished in the freest intercourse and identity with the people, and perished in the full view of that people as publicly as he lived. Is he less reverenced; was he less potential for good because he crept forth from no dark and shadowy cell to his lovely work, and when that daily work stopped with the sun had no tub ot Diogenes as an eccentric house of refuge, but was content, if nothing better offered, with that freedom that finds "The turf a fragrant shrine, A temple, Lord, that arch of thine, The censor's breath the mountain airs, And silent thoughts the only prayers V' The democratic obstruction to legislation in the house of repre sentatives was manifested the other day from the committee on nublic land bv the ODOOsition to Senator Dolph's bill providing for refunding to the settlers on even numbered sections of land within the limits of the grant to the Northern Pacific railroad com pany, which was declared forfeited at the last session, the difference between the price paid of $2.50 per acre and $1.25 per acre. Such manoeuvering will elect the next republican president. Cardinal Manning was quite abstemious in his habits When a lest at t he most splendid .ban quets he would dine off a potato, a bit of meat and a glass of water. Wine he never drank. He was- greatly interested in the temper ance cause, and said spirts did more to destroy the homes of the poorer classes than all else com bined. "The Englishman drinks from brutality, the Irishman from joviality, and it is much easier to reform an Irish drunkard than an English," said the cardinal. It mav be convenient for Ameri can doctors to know, says a Lon don cable, that in England, an American diploma ol medicine does not entitle its possessor to caU himself M D. If ho does he may be prosecuted. A doctor has actually been prosecuted for this offense and convicted, and upon application to quash the conviction the lord chief justice of England expressed the opinion that, within the meaning of the law of England, our countryman had falsely rep resented himself as an M. D., and had falsely pretended to be a doc tor of medicine, having "only an American degree," said Lord Cole ridge. His appeal was dismissed, and he will now have the pleasure of paying into the treasury of the queen 100. The attention of the public is gradually but surely being drawn to the magnitude of the evils re sulting from gambling in futures. Among-the first to call attention to the matter, were some of the great millers of the country who found the artificial fluctuations caused by this class of speculation, most injurious to their business. The "farmers have for some time realized the depressing effects upon prices caused by the competition of fictitious grain with the real ar ticle. Charles A. Tillsbury, who is at the head of the greatest flour manufacturing business in the world, said two or three years ago that wheat would bring the farm ers a dollar a bushel at their home market if it were not for the option business. Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, has introduced a bill in Congress intended to put a stop to the business, and states that in his opinion the farmers would be get ting 20 cents a bushel more for their wheat than they now are if prices were not artificially deprssed by the existing system of gam bling. The evil is a vast one and is powerfully entrenched, and to some, the efforts to squelch it may appear hopeless, in view of the re spectability and high standing of those engaged in it. - It is to be re membered, however, thai lotteries were onee legal everywhere and even approved of by teachers of religion and morality. Now, no newspaper in this land' can even insert an advertisement of a for eign lottery, and while the evil is not entirely eradicated it is no longer a business in which reputa ble persons will engage. Kuxal Northwest. "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER." As there has been no notice taken of so august a meeting as the late convention held in Boston by the W. C. T. IT., it may be well to make mention of it through our columns. The first World's and eighteenth National convention of ii.. - nrr r 'V tt 1,-1.1 :.. was Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward i- i .l o. .... tji,! ti7.j i speaks ot this meeting as "the most important . convention of women ever held in - America." There were present many of our eminent temperance women, among whom were Lady Henry Somerset, Frances E. Willard, Mary Clement Leavitt, Hannah Whitall Smith, Mother Thompson, Isabella Beecher Hooker, and our much-honored national superin tendent oi the Y's, Frances J. Barnes, besides many state super intendents and hearty workers. Miss Frances E. Willard, presi dent of the World's National W. C. T. U., delivered an eloquent ad dress, touching upon the forty dif ferent lines of work done by this mighty army of earnest workers "lor God and home and native land." Just here we would like to ask how many of our readers know how large an organization the W. C. T. U. has become and if they realize that it is a world-wide or ganization ? 'America, England. France Denmark, Italy, Spain, Russia, Egypt, Syria, Africa, with other countries and many islands of the sea are represented by this grand monument. Besides Miss Willard's lengthy address, - which occupies sixteen pages of the Daily Union Signal, the official organ of the W. C. T. U., and ot which it would be im possible to even give a synopsis in our limited space, there were ad dresses by Lady Henry Somerset and others. The banner was this year pre sented to the Iowa Y's by Miss Ensign, assistant superintendent of the Ohio Y's. When we remember that only a few years since the ,W. C. T. U. was only that little band of work ers in Hillsboro, Ohio, who were then denounced as Crusaders, and think that today there are thou sands of members we can thank God and take courage, for the day of triumph will yet dawn for the workers; of the W. C. T. U. The collection taken on the evening devoted to the Y's amounted to $140, which was the largest single collection of the con vention. We must not forget that much practical work was done by this convention, out of which much good will spring. - - The Oak and Ivy Leaf says, "The room occupied by Mrs. Barnes and her party of Y's at Boston being devoid ot vases, the ingenuity of the girls quickly pro vided a substitute and the cuspi dor was elevated to floral duty on the mantel, with the following terse inscription by Miss Mc Dowell ; 'When men are men and right is right And cuspidors are vases, Thou women true and children, too, -Will occupy tlixir places.' " x. The purser of the Lurline tells a 6tory which well illustrates the difference between eastern and western Oregon. About two years ago an old lady got on the boat at the Cascades, on her way . to the valley, and a' friend sung but: "Hello ! Mrs. Blank; where are you going?" "Going to where there is water enough to wash my clothes; we don't have enough for that in eastern Oregon," was the reply. About a month after she was a passenger on the Lurline going back. The purser said: "How do you do, Mrs. Blank ? Have you got your washing done!" "Yes," 8a;u the old lady, "I have, and now I am going back east of the mountains to get my clothes dry." v The Pendleton East Oregonian "sighs proverbs" on public econ omy in the following language: Sixty thoueand dollars is being SDent on the dome of the capital at Salem, while the Columbia river remains unopeneu ior iacK or money.

The hold monarchical institutions have upon the people is becoming less. The death of the Duke of Clarance, the direct heir to the throne of Eng land -diminishes to some extent this claim. 'Democratic principles are taking strong hold of a large ,co ttu nut man v reiieiaiiuiio win roll bv before the doctrine of the divine right of kings to rule will be swept awajv Republican governments are proven to be so strong that they are introducing greater freedom even into absolute monarches.
