OUR FRUIT GROWERS.
I
The San Jose Mercury pay3 a !
lugh tribute to the energy, inttelli
genee and scientific attainments of ,
the fruit growers of California, as
displayed in a recent state conven
tion held in that state. But it is
only in recent years that California
has made such rapid strides in suc
cessful fruit culture, and, while the
fruit grower? of Oregon have uot
attained the high standard claimed
fcy thfir bretlr -n in California,
they are approaching that degree
6f practical excellence, with com
mendable zeal. Never before in
the history of the state has such
deep interest been taken, in scien
tific and intelligent fruit culture,
than at this very time. . But the
work has only begun, Fruit grow
ing in Oregon is yet in its infancy,
and many valuable experiments
will yet be made before it attains
the zenith ot successful effort.
There is yet much, to be done in
the developement of our orchards.
Oregon has the climate and soils
admirable adapted for fruit cul
ture, intelligent experiments and
application will work wonders. It
does not pay to cultivate inferior
varieties of fruits on our soils,
when the same labor will produce
manv fold better results wiAx the
best adapted varieties.
While advances are being mac
hv enerseric orch&rdists, it is also
a lamentable fact that many farm
ers plant orchards and do dot prop
erly cultivate them, leaving the
trees to become diseased lhrouh
Carelessness, and pests are hatched
that find their wav to the orchards
f the thrifty horticulturist, thus
eausinir needless annoyance that
could be avoided.. Again, another
element in the way of progress in
fruit culture, is the practice of al
lowing old orchards to stand un
pruned, the fruit falling and rot
ting on the ground, breeding pests
and disoase germs that are cirneu
to young and thnlty orchards
It would be far better for fruit
chards were cut down or burned,
instead of remaining and eyesore
to the community. All these
things are a' great drawback to
fruit growing in Oregon, and should
be remedied, f lie thrifty orchard
J3t should not be allowed to suffer
on account of the carelessness and
biiuuwss nuuus oi ins ueiiiuuurs.

The Oregouian complains that
Oregon .farmers have not reported
o:i the results of the sugar beet
seed sent out by the department
of agriculture. While this is no
doubt true, the agricultural col
lege experiment station at this
place have made thorough tests of
the sugar beet, raised in this vi
cinity and nearly every county in
the state, and in a bulletin issued,
gave a result of their varied ex
periment3 showing that these beets
could be successfully raised in Or
egon, especially the western and
Eouthern part of the state. Their
published results show that the
. beets raised in Oregon contain
from 11 to 21 per ceut. of sugar.
and will compare favorable "with
' any raised in the sugar beet dis
trict of California or other states

these bulletins-be sent to the ag
ricultural department at Washing

to complain of not having reliable
ngures on mo quality ot sugar
beets grown in Oregon.

WASHINGTON LETTER. .
Washisotof, Noy. 21, 1993.
A great change has come over
the spirit of the democrats. One
hears no more about the immedi
ate repeal of the McKinley tariff
and. the beginning of an almost
free trade era, which every demo
crat was advocating a few days
lhe same follows are now
talking; about "moderation", a
gradual change" and the preseTT
vation of our ''business' interests".;
Protection is no longer unconstitu
tional in the eyes of the democrats,
wher are now promising that in
stead of the repeal of the McKin-
ey law, at the extra session, which
t
seems generally to be agreed
ong them is to be held" in the
fall of next year, if not before,
they will merely lower some of
the duties that are considered by
conservative people, even in the
republican party, entirely too high,
and extend the free list a little iu
the line of raw material used by
American man ufacturers. In short,
the democrats who are doing the
talking really represent those who
)ing to do the bossing when
the new congress gets into power,
the democratic party through its
newly elected congress and presi
dent will endorse the principle of
protection to American industries,
which it so vigorously abused and
protested against in its national
platform and through its newspa
pers and stump speakers, by enact
ing a protective tanil law, aiiier-
insr no whit or tittle from the
McKinley law in principle, but
merely as to the extent to which
the protective feature of our tariff
bhall bo carrel. Of course there
may be no sincerity in this talk
there never was much in anything
that erainaf ed from the democratic
"party which may -be indulged iu
now by order of the bosses for the
purpose ot allaying .lhe pamcicy
feelins which so closely iollowed
the democratic victory. It exsists,
and that is why it is chronicled :
time will 6how whether the demo
crats were really fighting lor the
power to make radical changes in
our tariff and financial policy, or
merely for the offices. , -
If the democrat dnnnifctration
is to oe as untortunate as the
Cleveland and Stevenson banner
which hangs, when it is not down,
over Jrenusylvania Avenue, it is
indeed to be pitied. This banner
has beeu cut ddvvn once, supposed
to have been done by a democrat
who did not love lhe ticket none
sucli can be iouncl now, but they
will again be plentiful enough as
soon as the distribution of pap gets
under way and ha3 beeu blown
down so often that its disappear
ance hardly excites any comment;
and one man threatens to bring a
suit for damage done to his vehicle
by reason of his horse having be
come frightened and running away
because he got tangled up in the
ropes of the flag, one dark night
when it was blown down, lying in
the middle of the of the street.
Secretary Charles Poster wishes
it distinctly understood that all in
terviews purporting to have been
held with him making him predict
a deficit in the treasury during
the next fiscal year are out and
out fakes. He has made no pre
diction" concerning government
hnances beyoug his own term of
office and will make none, believe
ing that it is not proper for him to
do so. He says there will be no
deficit during the fiscal year, and
that is as much as lie will say, for
publication. His annual report,
which will benade public at the
same time as the president's an
nual message, will give a detail re
sume of the finances of the nation,
but will contain no recommenda
tion lor lne future. Even if it
were considered proper for a retir
ing secretary to make suggestions
to the new democratic administra
tion. Charlie Foster is not the
sort of man who would furnish his
political enemies with ideas to
help him out of trouble. The peo
ple have voted 'for ' the democrats
to run the machine; let the demo
crats furnish the idea3 too.
Local democrats are having a
regular cat and dog fighf , ostensi
bly over the . management of the
citizens committee that will make
the arrangements for Mr. Cleve
land's inauguration, but in reality
over the snug district offices that
will be at the disposal of the new
president,- as to be" prominently
connected with the inaugural com
mittee has long been regarded in
Washington as the best way to
care one's self and friends under a
new administration. The .demo
cratic national committee will have
io arbitrate Detween the warrinj
factions, and it is not certain that
even that authority can make
peace; it can only pat one or the
other faction on top.
iNO lurther proof was needed of
the president's good will towards
the republican national committee

tary, ex-Congressman McConias,
of Maryland, to a vacancy"on the
bench of the Supreme court of the
District of Columbia, and his offer

Mr. McComas accepted, but Mr.
Carter preferred to return to his
law practice in Montana.
. Thk I treasurer of - the United.
States has submitted his annual
report, which does not show such
a bad state of affairs, as some
democratic papers would have one
believe. It shows the net ordi
nary revenues of the government
were 1351,937,781, a decrease of
$37,671,63, and the net ordinary
expenditures. $345,023,330, a de
crease of $10,313,351. The sur
plus revenues are thus cut down
to $9,91 M53,. The total receipts
for the year were $736,401 296,
and the expenditures 681,019,289.
The receipts are divided into two
general classes, the first compris
ing v ordinary revenues, receipts
for loans and" deposits for the re
tirement of national bank notes
and the cash valuables. The sec
ond, arising from the issue of gold,
silver and currency certihcates,
United States notes and treasury
notes, tends to swell the assets of
the treasury, but do not affect the
available balance. For the first
the figures show an excess of $88,-
000,000 in expenditures over rev
enue in 1891, aud upwards of
$25,000,000 in 1892. In the sec
ond the" excess is nearly $69,000,
000 receipts in " the former
year, ana $u,uuu,uuj in
the latter. Compared with
1891, the saving is upwards of
11,000,000 iu interest out of which
a surplus is realized.
Who ever heard of such a
tning
as a coGiu trust? vjne would tmuic
that syndicates, combines and
trusts surely had a limit, as, we
are told, all things mortal have
(what is it old Horace says?) but
it now seems they extend to the
very grave itself, thank goodness,
they cannot :ro beyond it. It is a
fact that the undertakers and cof
fin makers have formed a combi
nation, trast, or something of the
sort, and though it would seem
that these two had surely a:
"cinch" on the rest of mankind,
they have determined to fight all
competition, that is if the laws
there will let them. We may be
dense on this subject, but we fail
to see who they propose to fight.
At last the undertakers have found
an answer to the question, "Oh,
death, where is thy sting?,'.' The
sling is that a poor fellow in his
last sad moments on earth; when
all his thoughts should be concen
trated on the uncertain pilgrim
age he is about to commence, still
is confronted with the . horrible
thought that a '-trust" is going to
get the better of him after he is
dead,' no matter how successful he
had been in evading them es long
as he lived. Mobile New's. ; It is
a fact nevertheless, that a trust
combination was , made several
years ago by the undertakers of
Portland, and they all sell their
goods at a uniform figure.
Already preparl'ions are being
made present a total exclusion bill
to congress soon after it reassem
bles.. It is becoming painfully
evident that decisive steps must
be taken to stop the vast hordes
of foreign emigrants, who are
flooding this country. The time
was when they, were needed to as
sist in developing the wonder
ful resources of this great country.
But that time is past. ' The coun
try has too many laborers, and the
vast area of government lands are
about all taken. Besides there is
great dauger of this country" losing
its , identity as an American gov
ernment, by the vast overplus of
foreigners. .
The faculty of the agricultural
college have just held two success
ful formers' institutes, one at New
berg and the other at Brownsville.
These institutes are becoming
more and more appreciated by the
farming community, and their
sphere of usefulness ia widening.
They give a new impetus to agri
cultural pursuits, and are a valu
able medium for the exchange of
ideas between the farmers and the
professors of the agricultural col
lege .and experiment station.
Hence, both are benefitted by
these conferences of a social na
ture. . , ; . . - , ':. : . '

Our own state has not yet made
