The Seattle Ptfst-Intelligencer lias the following good points on the question of free wool, which is now being agitated by the demo cratic majority in the house of rep resentatives: . The free wool bill, as presented to congress, is substantially the wool provisions of the M ills bill of 1388, which made wool free and spared the wool manufacturer. Of course, if this bill should become a law the wool grower, deprived of all protection, would finally turn upon the wool manufacturer and help the tree traders strip the fact ory as well as the farm of all pro tection. Oregon and California wool growers repudiated this kind of democratic tariff reform in No vember, 18S8, by defeating Cleve land, who indorsed the Mills bill, for re-election, and Oregon, Wash ington and California will certain ly ot help elect a democrat, stand ing on a free wool platform, pres ident in November next. The education of the campaign of 1888 taught the wool growers and wool manufacturers that their interests are mutua1, and so we find President Whitman, of the National Association of Wool Man ufacturers, in opposition to the democratic policy of free wool. Mr. Whitman sees clearly that the wool grower would not spare the wool manufacturer very long after 'fsee wooF' had been enacted. The democratic reformers propose the repeal of the duties on wool and the specific duties on wool goods, which at present represent the du ties on the raw material, leaving on wool goods the present ad val orem duties, thus retaining to the manufacturer as much protection as ever, and exposing the grower to unlimited competition with Australia, New Zealand, Spain and the rest of the world. The McKinley tariff is framed upon the principle that the pro ducer of raw material is as much entitled to protection as the manu facturer. It is not necessary that a man should realize a thousand dollars an acre to succeed in fruit-growing. There is reliable and encouraging success at a hundred dollars an acrei for when a man can own and cultivate ten acres and clear $1,000 total per annum for his labor and capital, he is doing well. If he can do better, that is also well, but $100 an acre of gross yield is far better than any farm produce pays, and $1,000 a year for one man and family, is more, by considerable, than intelligent labor averages, even ii America. Fruits and Flowers. Is there any reason why an im mense fruit canning industry can not be built up in this section. The superior quality of the pears, peaches and cherries will insure a practically unlimited market, and the extra quality will also offset the extra distance from market. Some varieties of small fruit can also be raised here with greater ease than in almost any other sec tion of the country. BrsGEit Hermann, no doubt, will be the republican candidate for congress from this district. He is the choice of the party and the people, and in this instance the of fice seeks the man. Mr. Hermann is not an experiment; he has been fully tried and found to be true. . Mr. Harrison's administration lias been clean, conservative and honorable, and he will go to Minn eapolis with a solid delegation. The republican party is better equipped to enter a national cam paign than ever before since the election of Lincoln in 1864. v , ; The two parties, in the selection of county candidates for, the differ s ent positions, should look well to efficiency and honesty of the men ehosen. In that event, the suc cessful party will insure us good government. THE WILLAMETTE RIVER. The effort being made to run boats "up the . Willamette river to Eugene is a laudable one, "but in order to do this a part of the appropriation made for the Wil lamette river must be expended above Harrisburg, says the Eugene Journal. The upper Willamette, between Harrisburg and Eugene, should be included in the next river and harbor bill and a reason able amount should be appropri ated for the purpose of cleaning out the snags and removing bar obstructions m the river as far up as Eugene. Twenty-five and thirty years ago steamboats ran up to Eugene frequently during the win ter months and carried away all the freight. They could and would have made regular trips five or 6ix months in the year, had there been business enough to requre it, but there was not much freight then, consequently they came only when they conld get a load of freight both ways. We went on a steamboat about twenty-eight or thirty years ago from Eugene to Springfield, and the boat took a load of flour to Oregon City. There is no reason why boats should not come to Eugene as well as to Cor vallis or Harrisburg. There is plenty of water in the river. In fact, the depth is about the same between Eugene and Corvalhs as between Corvallis and Salem, but the channel is narrower in places and more inclined to become ob structed "with snags and drifts. These obstructions can be removed and kept out of the way by a little expense each year, and we hope that our congressional delegation will insist on including this part of the river in the next appropriation bill. Secretary Foster says : "There is no system on God's earth that will beat a rascal. The only way to prevent stealing in the banks or anywhere else is to have honest men running them. Every bank and every other business enter prise that's worth anything is run by one man. If that man is not honest, no system of examination or direction can keep him from robbing." Teach the children morality and honesty in the family, in the school, in the church, and wherever it can be taught, and there will be less dishonest men This is the only way to prevent stealing, embezzlement aDd fraud, February 12th was Lincoln's birthday. Eminent for piety and sincerity, he certainly stood at the head of American men, and it is proper and fitting, and suggestive of the love of patriotism, that his name should be honored and his memory revered on that day, with the characteristic enthusiasm that greeted the occasion. The name of Abraham Lincoln has passed into history, and it shall not be blotted out while the nation exists. Occasionly we have had here in western Oregon such Februarys as would .astonish people east of the Rockies in the same latitude. The winter would seem to lose itself about the last week in January, and then a month of beautiful sunshine would swell buds and make peach bloom show its line of scarlet between the encircling and bursting green. Fruits and Flowers. They grow apples everywhere, very nearly, but they can'c grow such pears as Oregon does any where else in North America. Eastern Bartletts are -small, and inferior compared to ours. Last summer the people of Helena had their first taste of Oregon Bartletts and they declared they never be lore Knew wnat a isaitiett pear was. They . had for years back had Bartlett pears from California, you see !

" "When you have anything to say to strangers about Corvallis always speak a good word.' The best indi cation of a man's character is what lie has to say about his neighbors. X An examination of the shelves of the grocery stores of this section will convince anyone that the greater " portion, ot the canned fruits consumed in the Northwest are brought here from California, canned corn from as far east as Maine and other canned vegetables largely from California. It will prove a permanent advantage to this section' to have the over-pro duction of fruit reach a sufficient stage to bring about the establish ment of enough canneries to sup ply, at least, the home demand. We-suspect that at the present time a good deal of the product of Oregon canneries finds a market abroad because of its superior quality. A great many varieties of fruits can certainly be produced here as cheaply as anywhere and we ought not to be sending money to California for canned goods that could be produced at home as cheaply and, in many cases, of superior quality. A large quan tity of California evaporated fruits are also still sold in this section. In the line of nuts we import practically everything, although there are localities in Oregon and Washington in which English wal nuts, almonds, chestnuts and other varieties of commonly used nuts thrive. Let us get outside canned goods, evaporated fruits, etc., out of our local markets before we worry seriously about over-pro duction in horticultural lines. Rural Northwest. For some years past foreign travel has been very large. The secretary of the treasury estimates that our people spend $60,000,000 in gold every year in foreign countries. Other good authorities estimate the amount as high . as $100,000,000. One hundred thou sand people go lo Europe annually and spend $1,000 each on an aver age. The great world s fair ap proaching will turn travel this way. A contemporary estimates that 100,000 Europeans will come here and spend $1,500 each of foreign gold. . The kicker is a developer; the croaker is an incubus. The kicker incites to improvement; the croak er to indignation and resentment. The kicker is only heard when he is given $1 accommodations at $3 rates; the croaker would be just as noisy if he were getting $3 ac commodations and paying nothing, The kicker is a lively, jovial pro gressive fellow; the croaker is s dismal nuisance who lags superflu ous on the stage. 'Rah for the kicker; a bas the croaker. The New York Recorder ob serves that Senator Gorman's sa gacity and caution were shown when he said to an inquisitive friend, ''This is one of those polit ical periods when things are drift ing in a tide no man or set of men can control, and my idea is that the most sensible thing one can do is to let them drift."- Harrison and Cleveland will head the national tickets this year without doubt. The constant sug gestion ot other names as available is all bosh, and is the talk only of disappointed politicians. The south will dominate the democratic con vention, and Cleveland is the choice in that section. . Governor Pennoyer is not dis posed to call an extra session of the legislature to take action on the improvement, of the dalles of the Columbia, and many contem poraries are speaking out against him. Gov. Pennoyer seems to be his own "boss," and a poor one, too. It is said that ex Senator Blair does not share the relief of the country at his retirement from pub lic life. He meditates making an effort to get into the house of rep resentatives from the first . New Hampshire district, with a further purpose of contesting for Senator Chandler's seat next year. : One hundred .thousand dollars a year, for five years, was the salary recently refussed by the editor of the Chicago Herald, Jas.

CHINESE DESTITUTE OF NER VESt The Chinese can remain in one position an indefinite time, have no conciousness of monotony, can do without exercise, are imper vious to noise, can go to sleep at any time and in any attitude all because they have no nerves. It is not be supposed that this nerve lessness is a physiological fact, but it can not be doubted that the Chinaman's patience, endurance, and insusceptibility to influence which would send a European into an early grave are constitutional. He can not help taking things as they come. Curiously enough, this indfference is not associated with want of energy, for the Chinaman is exceptionally indus tnous. He is simply insensiDie to worry. The name of .D. R. N. Black burn, of Linn county, has been suggested as a candidate for the office of supreme judge before the republican state convention. Judge Blackburn is a strong man, efficient and honorable in all respects. This fine sunshiny weather is bracing to us all.

This has had the effect of silencing the opposition under the leadership of Bishop Bowman, but it has germinated a strong feeling of indignation throughout that element. Dave Hill is not in it. The New York World, the leading democratic paper and Hill o rgan of the state, editorially denounces the snap convention and brands Hill as a machine politician. It looks blue for the democracy just now. The way to promote the best in terests of this city is to promote permanent public improvements. LITTLE ELK. Weather fine.

Appointed Committee op Students. A Sailor Boy. This noon a young man in full sailor uniform such as is worn on all IT. S. steamers, arrived in Albany from Ya quina City, having come to that city on the Willamette Valley, on his way from San Francisco to Walla Walla. On his cap were the words "U S S Baltimore." That would attract attention anyway these days, that being the steamer the sailors on which had been attacked in Valparaiso, over which so much smoke was caused. A Democrat re porter met the young man just as he was starting to board the Portland train. He said he left Chile six weeks ago, and that affairs looked pretty stormy .therefor awhile. He reported Chileans generally down on Egan and that they were anxious for his re call, which simply confirms general reports. Already our people are full of Chilean af fairs aud most of them tired of it, but a real live man direct from the "seat of war" is not seen every day, hence the interest taken in this particular sailor boy, whose general appearance stamped iim as being genuine, but what he is doing on his way to Walla Walla is an enigma. Albany Democrat. Our correspondent at Newport says, "The republican party must not think that Capt. Robertson will refuse any office that is offered him. We understand he is from Maine and when gall was served out he doubled up on thedispenser of that necessary article. He fays he is not particular whether he has a boatswain's or mate's pos ition in the count', or second mate's job in Salem; he would iiot refuse petty officer's billet in Washington. It takes cheek to get along in this world, and we guess the Capt. has a vLolc liKf.'' The Massachusetts insurance law is the best in. the United States. Every company in that st.-.te is compelled to give you a guar antee against loss after two payments of cash or paid up insurance, without any condition and at any time. The Massachusetts Mu tua pays yon annual cash dividends, or they will increase the insurance. 'Papa, where was the Garden of Elen?" "Well, Maud, it is supposed to have been somewhere in Asia."
