TAXTGJ2T BY DEFEAT. Grover Cleveland has been chastened by adversity. lie is a cleverer politician than he was lour years ago. His letter of ac ceptance is .a shrewder bid for votes than he ever bethought him to construct, when he believed that he bestrode the democratic party like a colossus and need con sult no will but his own. He has hobnobbed with Senator Hill's friends to good purpose. Ilis ut terance on the tariff has all the apparent daplicity and real single ness of purpose of the Brooklyn speech. lie seems to endorse the spirit of the Chicago platform by the repetition of the state academ ic platitudes of his message of 1887, only to close with positive assurance that his conception of tariff reform ends with the placing of raw materials on the free list; that he will conserve carefully the interests of his friends the manu facturers and banish ;the specter of impossible free trade" to the farmer and miner of the wes'. This is the only thing Cleveland could say on the tariff question, without sacrificing in advance the votes of states necessary to his election, and he says it with as lit tle peremptoriness as is consistent with intelligible speech. Still he can conceal Irom no one that it is flat repudiation of the Chicago platform, which declares all pro tection a fraud, and the levying of duties in) excess of the actual needs of revenue a violation of the constitution. The letter must be regarded as a deliberate surrender of the hope of gains from that part of the country which is thought to desire tariff for revenue only, and as a declaration of purpose to rely upon the eastern manufacturing states for his election. Senator Hill's influence is to De detected in the paragraph of the letter relating to silver coinage. That clever politician invented the absurd and impossible notion of a 6ilver dollar equal in intrinsic value at ail times to the gold dollar, which was eagerly adopted by all the democratic platforms, and has been accepted at last by Mr. Cleveland, in. place of the clean cut and honest declarations of his former deliverances upon this sub ject. For the rest, the letter does its best to satisfy everybody. He apologizes for the most creditable acts of his former administration, to conciliate the soldier vote, by a declaration in'favor of liberal pen sions. He truckles to the worst element in his party by inserting the plea for the personal liberty of the liquor seller, whose absence cost him so many votes in New York four years ago. He en courages the project of carrying Illinois and Wisconsin for the democrats on the school question by craftily qualified condemnation of compulsory education. He of fers the New York'Sun the olive branch of a blow at the force bill and tickles the ears of the rau wumps witn empty woras in praise ot a civil service reform On subjects not an issue of party politics, Mr. Cleveland speaks with his old-time clearness and vigor. His approval of the Nica ragua canal enterprise, of judicious restriction of immigration, and of the world's fair enterprise, leaves nothing to be desired. For the most part, however, the letter is the most politic utterance of Mr Cleveland's life. It proves that he is capable of learning by defeat. Oregonian. Michigan intends working her . convicts on the roads. This will be watched with interest through- oat the states because it will be adopted in other states if it proves highly satisfactory when tried. Bergman, who attempted to murder Frick, said: "I did not expect justice and I did not get it." He got twenty-two years. What did he expect! Was it fifty yejws THE ASTORIA RAILROAD. A gentleman well known in busi ness circles, who returned from Astoria recently, said to a Tele gram reporter the indications were that the Astoria railroad enterprise was about to collapse. He said: 'The trouble is a lack of funds. From ten to fifteen miles of the road have been graded, and alto gether about $300,000 expended. But I learn that the contractors refuse to go ahead until more money is in sight. The contractors have done their work well, and have paid for labor and material. I find that the report of the South ern Pacific being back of the en terprise is not generally believed. The current impression is that the projectors of the enterprise bit off more than they can chew. It is a bad time to sell railway bonds in the eastern markets. The real estate boom which the projectors of the enterprise ex pected to precipitate didn't show up. It flattened out early. Cap iai" a javei is auout me only man who has pulled anything out tne pot, and he was not a sub scriber to the railroad subsidy Luck just hit him off-hand. He unloaded his property at a bi price ana got over $100,000 of it in cash. It will be a great mis fortune for Astoria to have it railroad enterprise nipped in the bud, but perhaps new hands wil take iiold of it and put it through some day." Telegram. DID- XOT DO IT. l lie democratic platform de dares that it is the only party that has given the country a vigorous foreign policy. Well, its vigorous loreign policy did not remove the invidious and unfriendly discrimin -1 ." i i i auon against us ay a large num ber of European countries, which positively prohibited the importa tion of our pork on the unrruthfu pretext that it was dangerous to health. The foreign policy of the present republican administration did, and in spite of the high duties and al the difficulties attending the sud den revival of a long-prohibited trade in an officially slandered ar tide, which the people had been taught to believe dangerous in the few months that have elapsed this new market for the western farmers had amounted to over $2, 000,000 up to June 30 last. Ter haps that is why the democratic .convention amiably remarked in its platform that the republican policy that policy under which the country has grown steadily greater and more prosperous for thirty years fosters no industry so much as that of the sheriff. Whitelaw Reid. THE WOOL INTEREST. At a meeting of the farmers' in stilute during the late state fair Hon. John Minto delivered an ad dress on the sheep industry of this coast and of Oregon in particular, Although the audience was limit ed, owing to the various attrac tions of the lair, Mr. Minto's able and exhaustive address will have the wide circulation that it de serves, as it is printed in lull in the Oregonian of the 23d iust After forty-three years of experi ence in the business Mr. Minto de dares, in his address, that, given the care and labor and stable pro tective laws, lie Knows ot no stock interest, unless it is that of the dairy, which at present prom lses better than the production of wool and mutton. But if the Cleveland and Springer policy is adopted the sheep interest of the whole country will be practically ruined. Statesman. I defy the man in any degree conversant with the history, in any degree acquainted with the annals of this country from 1787 to 1789, when the constitution was adopt ed, to say that protection of Amer ican labor and industry was not a leading, I might almost say the leading motive south as well as north, for the formation of the new government. Without that provision in the constitution it nover could have been adopted. Daniel Webster at Albany in 1844. The outlook for a good price in hog flesh this fall is excellent. Children Cry for.

' During the first night of the far mers' institute, Professor French, of the agricultural college, spoke on the adaptability of the silo to Oregon. He said that there was no better state in the Union for silos than Oregon, because they can be used to keen up a healthful ration during the dry season and during the wet season. There' should be two silos and use clover for summer feed, and corn for winter feed, tints carrying through the whole year. Corn silage makes a complete ration alone. During experiments at the college, 8 J tons of ensilage was harvested per acre and this with the common grain feed kept up the flow of milk all season. The silo which is just be ing emptied of clover at the col lege will bo filled with corn in a few weeks. Clover can be put up without running through the cut ter if one so desires, and can be placed in the silo at a cost of 50cts per ton. Bad weather makes no difference, as water does not hurt the clover. If anything, the water helps it, especially in dry weather. The silo can be made more sub stantial by building round, the boards thus acting as braces and making it stronger. There isnc where that the silo can be con structed more cheaply tlian in Oregon, because there are no ter rible hard freezes to injure the silage. THE SINGLE-TRACK SYSTEM. The exhibit in exposition which excites most interest ha and most comment is the queer-look in? sinffle-track locomotive. The o e- novelty of the machine attracts at tention while many are interested in the problem of cheaper railway const rnption. The railroads ar the great developing agencies of the country, and they are the pro moters of a higher civilization But it reauires an enormous sum of money to build a railroad any length, and, as a rule, they are not paying investments. Bu tew roads in the country today give a direct return on the money invested in them. The profits of railroad building are mainly in the development of the country tln-ourh which thev pass. Yet o v - when they are once built, they have to be maintained and oper ated. Hence it becomes an im oortant factor to cheapen the cost of construction and operation. The single-track idea is not new one. There have been sev eral patents issued on the single track system, but so far the inven tions have not successfully materi alized: An Oregon inventor, who has given the system a thorough study, now claims to have perfect ed the system, and proposes to make a practical test of it. If his claim is well founded it will pro duce a revolution in railroad building. Chewing the bag is not proof of th3 pudding, 60 ar ments have been made with the Portland & Mount Hood Railway company to put down a mile or two of the single track and allow Mr. Mahana to make a practical test of his invention. If it works well, that will settle the whole question. The advantages claimed for the single-track system are that it in creases speed, it climbs better over steep grades, a ten-ton engine will haul as much as a sixty-ton engine of the old style, and that the road construction and equipment will be lessened by one-half. If the experiment proves a success, rail roads will come into more common use than turnpikes. Telegram. Thebe has been nearly as great a run on "cholera," says an ex change, in the newspapers as there was of la grippe. Great is jour nalism as a spreader and magni fier of epidemics, but it could easi- y engage in nobler business. The state of Washington, de spite dull times and a spirit of de pression compared with the ex citement of two years ago, is forg ing ahead, but still the report of the state auditor shows a peculiar condition of affairs. The value of real estate has decreased from $286,347,371 in 1891, to $243, 270,631 in 1892, and the personal property from $52,148,599 to $38, 843,148. This does not mean that the state is really going backward, but that the estimates of 1891 were founded on the boom prices, while those of 1892 represent steady prices.

Made Healthy and Beautiful by Cutlcura Remedies. My baby boy had been suffering from birth with tome sort of an eruption. The doctors called it eczema.
