' ' i " ai i :,. are ume9 .wneu: ine manici is Weak and prices are depressed, but fo the casual observer ine urvest.'V'product always seems in lemand and capable of finding a ready money exchange. The for Jtunes made by hopgrowers in New York state .are numberless, and there was a time when a good hop farm was worth more than a gold mine. " While ' less . profits are made imw still there i3 an oppor tunity in that line not to be neg lected. The Puyallup valley hops iii .Washington are famous, says the ...-Telegram, and have brought wealth to many larmers, and tho Willamette valley pro duct averages well for the raisers. Ia the past there has baen one drawback to successful agriculture in Oreeon. notwithstanding cli- .,... matic and soil conditions, are un surpassed." -The crops have not been sufficiently diversified. It . r . , v . - has usually been too much wheat, Now . v there is a tendency to branch' out in such ways as raising Thops, fruit, or sugar beets, It is therefore encouraging to learn that farmers - are extending their hop acreage and ; that throughout the southern counties , new yards will be numerous, t If immunity from lic&i'and favorable weather .are erranted them, the amount of money!, perming into Oregon in re turn for the harvest will be large and gladly welcomed. A singular question in connec tion with, this subject is contained in the fact that ; no hop-raising worth mentioning, has as yet been done in" Benton county. , There ar thousand of acres of the best lands'or that crop, within view of Oorvaliis. "Much of it is lying idle nd wasjiug its fertility in the nox ions eatave-verdure. This is i pure waste of the country's natura richness; f a , stultification of the possibilities to which these broad acres-rare -capable; and a robbery to the' industrial interests of the maximum of their wealth produc ing power. Our1 next door neigh bor, Polk county, is ; working out of the "straight wheat-raising" rut and is greatly bettering her condi I tion ,by.. raisins hops. Not that the wheat lands have been cur tailed 'fed'niuchj ,but that the lands best adapted, for. hops have been reclaimed from idleness, have -in vited additional industries , of a line vastlymore; prontable; nave aug men ted population in greater ratio than vthe 'old wheat farm system ever . did; s, and. briugs into the country' ten dollars of clear money where the wheat industry barely brought, one. . , . Fruit jaising is also . developing throughout! the country, here as elsewhere, which is ah encourag ing f&bt That industry cannot be too heartily . commended nor too thoroughly sustained. But there are Jands and lands. by the sec tion ..and.,, the ;i thousand that are created in the "eternal fitness" for fruit'' and ' for. nothing else. Let their culture in fruit be pressed to the highest perfection. There are also thousands of acres of lands ex pressly, fitted for hops, aud in this industry will they excel. It is the return of money to' the square foot "of anjJand that sizes up its value. That product which puts the most clear money, .into .the; husband- man?s pocket on a given' area of soil,T clearly is - the ' agency he ' should jemploy. . The proposition is 6elf:evidenti Give the hops a chance in Benton as well as the fruit. ' ' ' ' Ir as - the general tone of the Oregon'press that Easter was in ' this' instance .a failure. , ; The weather 'was dark and stormy and that.Vgave , the new "togs" no chance, hence Easter was a dreary circumstance, : Never mind the sentiments of the early ages con cerning this morn of rejoicing and hallelujahs. ;': It is the display of thnew bonnet and the fineries that give.fMZem Easter' its priinevsigiiificaDce; AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.' The Japs that work on the rail road section , at Drain, who have taken the place of white labor all along the road, are having some trouble with indignant citizens of that, place. Ualsey News. The next legislature should pass a law forbidding any public corpor ation employing any but natural ized American citizens to perform any services connected with its existence and performance of its functions. American government and American law creates and maintains its existence. The American people patronize, sup port and enrich these corporations and they should not bo allowed to displace free American labor, sup porting American institutions and American families, in the Ameri can style of living, to give employ ment to Japanese,Chinese or any other class that are not a compo nent element of citizenship. Thsre should be a state and Uni-1 ted States law forbidding employ ment by a public corporation or n any public work or public build ng any other than naturalized American citizens. There would be less train wrecking attempted on the Southren Pacific if that law were enforced. We pretend to protect American abor, but allow great transconti nental transportation corporations to employ thousands of foreigners who never can become citizens to take the bread out of their mouths. These corporations were enrich ed by great grants of public lands, favored by exemptions from taxa tion, favored with legislation, and then they turn around and repay the voters by systematically dis criminating against American la borers, and displacing them with coolies by the thousand, who do not support homes, schools or chuches, and not one out of five hundred ever stays in this coun try. The above from the Salem Jour nal is soundly stated, but it does not put it strong enough. For the past 30 years and more tins coun try has been maintaining a high protective" tariff, t he only possi ble excuse for which was that it was calculated to provide and preserve a high scale of prices for wage earners, That tariff kept up the prices of all merchandise and supplies en tering into the homes of wage earners as well as other classes, and it has amounted to a no small burden that the masses have will iugly borne in a good cause. The plan was all right enough had it been philosophically carried out But that has not been done. While the country was paying these high "protective" prices these tariff "taxes" levied to secure high wa ges on a level with them, 'the ut most "free trade" principles have been in operation to transfer the "pauper labor'? of the old world to American shores This transverse policy has been going on all these years until there is little difference between the condition of labor in America and that of the ancient hemisphere, and none in favor of the American laborer, which is not assured by natural conditions. Our protec tive poliey was a sound one, but it was protection in theory, and not in practice. It steered away from Charybdi3 and is in the breakers o Scilla. It set up a high plane of citizenship and invited the mass es of : the 'world to come and become . a part of it. It put out no discriminating bar- lers. ihe man ot Jotty spirit and the crawling serf all came upon the same footins. So when swarms of abject laborers, with no conception of or aspirations to reach the level which our institu tions contemplated, came and brought their abject instincts with them, but one result could be ob tained. That! was the dragging down of the whole labor fabric, to the lower level. That is about the condition of affairs to-day." There ought to be a change. The "pro tective" policy is very , lopsided. It burdens the masses to provide 'high wages" for hordes of hu mans who have no conception of the term and is nominally "castr ing pearls before swine," to. the nation's ruin. Keep the swarms of serfdom out of the country from now on and there will be no laws, needed for the protection of American labor. The Oregonian has been sued for: libel . -with ! damages fixed at $100,000. As the Gazette , was some time since sued for Jibel for exposing an itinerant humbug fakir; and as it necessarily made us some trouble and expense not withstanding the suit was a flat failure to the i. h. f. aforesaid, we may be expected to be somewhat guarded in expressing our opinion on the Oregonian case. - , Children Cry for Prtcfeer Castprfei There has been"another dastard ly attempt to wreck: the .overland trainpn the Southern: Pacific road and many 'people hold that the railroad company and its employes are largely - responsible ; for this state of affairs. It has often been remarked by people who are ac customed to travelling that the manner in which tramps stealing rides are treated is not , a method that insures safely to the coin pany's property or to the passen geis over its lines. Train men are doubtless greatly annoyed by these tramps, but they do not reason in telligently as to the probable re sults of their actions in handling these fellows. They will find some helpless boy stealing a ride, and kick him off and often beat him unmercifully. Such transactions have been witnessed by passengers many times. It is no surprise to those passengers to hear soon after of an attempt being made to wreck the train. The wreckers do not realize the fearful results likely to come irom their actions, nor ao they care to. Their only desire is to seek revenge with those who have thus treated them and they will go to desperate measures to obtain that revenge. They are seeking revenge on the railroad company, and not on the passen gers, but the passengers often suf fer death or severe injury, and the railroad company and its employes are responsible.

Both were students in Chicago colleges and residents proper of this coast, she of Spokane and he of Portland. She had been his af fianced, but at the instance of her father had discarded him. ' A let ter vritten to his mother and found on his person at the inquest was a pathetic recital and ' showed his mind to be in an unbearable strain. lie was undoubtedly driv en to madness. The democrats have had a good time scoring ex-Secretary Foster, recently, on alleged extravagance in connection-with the Bering sea conference. Gresham and Car lisle, according to the democratic version, were stripping the facts down to their naked hideousness, and were revealing some startling things. It turns out that the stories had no official basis what ever, but were the fabrication of some Munchausen penny-a-liner, who , undoubtedly laughed in his sleeve while the democratic gladia tors were annihilating the man of straw which he had set up. There is a great deal in the fol lowing little squib propounded in theS. F. Examiner: "If the Ha waiian islands are necessary to t he security of so powerful a country as the United States what islands will be necessary to the security of so feebl-e an outpost as Hawaii?" In other words if the United States really sees security in reaching out to get the next - place beyond her borders, how long will : it take her to extend her accessions around the globe? ..... . There is a fortune for some one who will find a way for keeping cabbage in Oregon during the winter.

Judges Ricks and Taft come again, luey uotiiy all railway employes whom it may concern that refusal to move freight on in terstate lines from a boycotted road makes those who refuse guilty of criminal conspiracy against the laws of the country. That is, since corporations are held to liability, and since corpora tion can act only through agents, I those agents must be held to liability too. The duties of the citizen in a society so highly de veloped as ours are becoming real ly onerous. The Oregon agricultural college asked for a small appropriation for building and equiping a dairy build ing, but the legislature refused to grant it. The Washington legisla ture did make an appropriation of $3,000 for a dairy plant, but the governor vetoed the bill. The narrow-minded policy of the two states towards education in dairy lines is exasperating to any per son who knows what is being done by other states and nations in this line. Rural Northwest.

SCRATCHED 28 YEARS ' V ' A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease with Endless Suffering; Cured by Cutlcura Remedies.. If I had known of the Cuticuba Eembuies twenty-eight years ago, it would have saved me $200.00 aud an immense amount of suffering. My disease (psoriasis) commenced on my head In a pot not larger than a cent. It spread rapidly alt over my body, and got under my nails. The scales would drop off of me all the time, and my suffering was endless, and without relief. One thou, sand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again. I m a poor man, but feel rich to be relieved of what some of the doctors said was leprosy, some ringworm, pso riasis, etc. I cannot praise the Cuticuba Remedies too much. They have made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All I used of them was $! worth. If yon bad been here and eaid yon would have cured me for $200.00, you would have had the money. I looked like the picture (No. 2, page 47) in your book, "How to Cure Skin Diseases," but now I am as clear bs any person ever was. .Through force of habit I rub ray hands over my arms and legs to scratch once in a while, bnt to no purpose. I am all well I scratched twenty-eight years, and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. I thank yon a thou . sand times. DENNIS DOWNING, "Waterbnry, Vt.
