AN UNITED STATES COLLEGE.
There is a wonderful amount of obtuse
ignorance displayed in the common char
acterization of the Oregon Agricultural
College a "a state institution." Even
the Oregonian, that ought to be better
informed, terms it a "state high school;"
probably- with that paper, though, it is
not ignorance. It is ouly a state institu -Hon
in so far that for convenience its
management is placed in the hands of the
.state government The United States, in
1862, donated certain public lands to the
state. The interest from the fund created
by the sale of these lands was to be used
hi supporting a state agricultural college.
The state iu accepting this liberal dona
tion agreed to provide and equip suitable
buildings. In IS87 the Hatch till went
into effect. By the provisions of this act
the institution was to receive $15,000 an
nually, to be used only for experimental
purposes. Three years later, or in Au-
' gust, 1890, the law known as the agricul
tural college act took effect. This law
provided certain funds for the support of
the college proper, and for the year end
ing June 30, 1891, an appropriation was
made of $15,000. The act further pro
vided that this amount was to be annually
increased $i,ooo, until the total annual
. appropriation reached $25,000; thus mak
ing a grand total, under the provisions of
the two . acts, of $40,000. This year the
. college received, under the provisions of
the Hatch act, $15,000, and under the
other bill $19,000. In addition to this
sum the institution receives the interest
on the trust fund, spoken of above, which
amounted to about $11,000, -making the
total amount received this year from the
federal government, about $45,003. Since
the college has been divorced from the
M. E. church, south, and its management
placed entirely under the control of the
state board, the state has appropriated
practically nothing to the institution,
except for grounds and buildings.
The college building proper was erect
ed, by the enterprising citizens of Cor
vallis . and Benton county, at a cost of
$25,003. The college campus of thirty
five acres was a gift from the same source,
and is also valued at $25,000. So it is
plainly seen that residents of Benton
county, most of whom are citizens of
Corvallis, have alone contributed to the
institution $50,000. Benton county only
has two free scholarships, and of the 260
students, Corvallis only furnishes 57.
This disproves the charge that it is a local
school.
It would be folly for the state to refuse
the $ jo, 000 proffered by the general gov-
s eminent No sane citizen will advocate
such a thing. The college must be located
somewhere, and the citizens of this coun
ty can see no reason why it should not
be located at Corvallis as well as else
where. They certainly feel that they have
shown sufficient public spirit to merit
possession of the college. The objections
mentioned are futile, however, as the col
lege is a permanent institution, and the
federal appropriations are fixed ones.
The location of the school at Corvallis is
, also permanent . Why can't the state
papers drop their senseless bickerings,
and aid in building up the institution by
commendation and practical suggestions,
to the glory and credit of Oregon.
There is only one member of the board
of regents, who is a citizen of Benton
county, and he is a recent apointee. The
board is composed of practical and promi
nent men, who are endeavoring to make
. the college of benefit and utility to the
entire state. Truthful complaints of any
defect in the management or workings
of the institution are not objected to,
but are, rather, courted by its friends.
But such complaints as have been lately
urged against the school have a tendency
to create prejudice against it, without the
least spark of reasoning. It is no more
the province of Corvallis papers to defend
the college, than of any other state jour
nal. It is not a Corvallis school. It is an
United States school, for the benefit of '
the citizens of Oregon.
The Oregonian is straddling around,
trying to pose before the people as being
partly victorious in its efforts to secure a
- gold-bug senator, by attempting to make
it appear that Senator McBride's views
on the question of silver coinage are un
known. - No great general ever delayed
a surrender when it became inevitable,
and the Oregonian will be much more
respected when it candidly admits the
ntter defeat of every important measure
which it supported during the last session
of the legislature. There is no use in
. prolonging the agony. -To be hunted
down and compelled to surrender piece
meal will be very annoying, besides it is
only in guerrilla warfare that this is made
necessary. Senator McBride has decided
views on the silver question, and much
trouble will be saved to the "great daily"
if it does not continue to keep up a
delusion in regard to his position.
According to statistics published in
the Banker's Magazine, the business and
financial depression has cost the farmers
more than a hundred millions of dollars
. . - mm r 1
in each year since 1192. ine larm vaiuc j
of the wheat, cotton and corn crops in j
.1892 was $1,286,300,000, in 1893 $1,100,
300,000, and in 1894 $1,170,000,000. On.
these three crops alone the farmer was
$186,000,000 behind in 1893, and $116,
aaoooQ behind in 1894.
2W0 7i?5 OF DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION.
; On next Monday at noon, the Fifty
third Congress expires by constitutional
limitation, and Grover Clevetand's ad
ministration closes its first two years,
and both reach this point with a showing
which is negative as to good accomplish
ed, and black with the marks of incom
oetencv and lack of statesmanship. The
I record of this congress, if one were to
J attempt to tell what good it had acconi
1 plished, would occupy little space. On
I the other hand, if this were to be meas
ured by the injudicious and absolutely
damaging legislation on one hand, and
tlie refusal to pass wise measures on the
other, it would fill many columns. All
efforts at currency legislation, except the
repeal of the Sherman law, so-called,
have failed. The record closes with the
most stupendous scandal known in many
years, the secret sale by the administra
tion of over sixty million dollars worth
of bonds, at a price far below what it
could have obtained for them had it
offered to the highest bidder; and this
sale negotiated through Mr. Cleveland's
own law partners. . .
It is rather curious to study, in this
connection, the merely mechanical work
of democratic boasters in this and pre- !
ceding congresses. The fifty-first con
gress, which was controlled by the repub
lican party, it will be remembered, was
denominated the "Billion Dollar Con
gress." This catch-word was made of 1
great use by the democrats in the politi- j
cal campaigns, and with considerable j
eneci upon unimniting ana ignorant
voters. ,
They charged that the republican party
in that congress, made the appropriations
of that congress $1,000,000,000. This was
not true absolutely, but to justify their
assertion they pointed out that acts pass
ed by that congress were sufficient to
make it the fullest sense of the word a
billion dollar congress. No congress
prior to that time had ever appropriated
$1,000,000,000, and the title of "Billion
Dollar Congress," which was tacked on
to the fifty-first congress, and the repub
lican party which controlled it, undoubt
edly did startle the people of this conn
try. Now what are the facts about the bil
lion dollar congress? It maybe inter
esting just at the close of the democratic
one, to inquire into that subject As al
ready indicated, the fifty-first congress
did not appropriate a full $1,000,000,000.
The total appropriations were $988,416,
582. As if it were a judgment upon the
democrats for raising the cry of "Billion
Dollar Congress" when the facts did not
justify it, the very next congress, which
was controlled by the democrats, oppro
priated $1,027,104,547. So the fifty-second
congress, democratic, was really the
first billion dollar congress, for it did
appropriate, in all, a full $1,000,000,000,
and it was the.first one in the history of
the country to do so.
And it looks now as though the pres
ent democratic congress will be another
of the same kind. The appropriation
bills are not yet completed, but the indi
cations are that when they are made laws
and the total appropriations of the pres
ent congress are' footed up they will
amount to a sum sufficient to make the
total appropriations of the entire con
gress fully a billion. The appropriations
of the first and the second sessions of
this congress were $492,230,685, and as
it usually happens that the appropria
tions of the closing session are more than
those of the previous session, it is likely
that the total will be over a billion. '
One other point, as to the work of this
congress, comes along simultaneously
with its decease. The first half year of
the tariff law ends with the 27th of this
month. And what a record this law has
made ! There has not been a month, nor
even a week, since . this law went into
effect in which it has produced sufficient
revenues to meet the running expenses
of the government- There has not been
a month nor a week in which the total
receipts have reached the total exdendi
tures. The result is, in brief, that the first six
months of the new law show the defi
ciency of over $50,000,000. The exact
figures for the closing month cannot be
had at present, but the total deficiency
has already passed the $50,000,000 line.
This is in marked contrast with the oper
ations of the McKinley law during its
first six months. The receipts under that
law, in its first half year, were $194,000,-
000, and the expenditures $174,000,000,
making a surplus of $20,000,000.
So the record of the two laws, in their
first half-year, stands as follows: McKin
ley law, surplus, $20,000,000. Wilson
Gorman law, deficiency, $50,000,000.
Toledo (Ohio) Blade, Feb. 28th.
Thb Times, ignoring the efforts made
to reduce the expenses of state and county
government by the thirty members who
opposed the Simon ring in the legislature,
objects to their being called "noble,"
because they did not adhere to the dic
tates of a caucus which was known, and
understood at the time not to fee binding,
a resolution to .make it so being with
drawn after a strong debate, without
submitting it to a vote. The Times also
mentions the old saw, that "there is
honor among thieves." This old saying
must be a mistake, or he whose earmarks
the article carries, after nominating and
voting for one of his fellows in the state
convention for district judge several years
ago, would not thereafter have vilified
and traduced him to accomplish, his de
feat According to the Evening Wisconsin,
Milwaukee once had a superintendent of
public schools, who spelled gone "gon"
and whole "hole" and cords of wood
"chords of would." That a literary gem
like this " could - be superintendent of
schools is explained by the fact that the
office was an elective one.

A PROPOSED COLLEGE ARISTOC
' - " RACY. -
The late Oratorical contest at Forest
Grove, between representatives of the
several Oregon institutions of learning,
has engendered considerable bad feeling.
The State Agricultural College sent Mr.
A. T. Buxton as its knight of the- arena.
The other contestants hardly figured Mr.
Buxton as a rival, it was deemed incred
ible that the "Hayseed" institution
should have a student of any literary
standing. Mr. Buxton appeared on the
scene in very poor form, owing to a
severe illness. . However, sick as he was,
he carried off second honors. This, of
course, created considerable furor among
the other delegations. Immediately
steps were taken to bar this institution
from future contests. . The excuse was
given that literary work of the Agricul
tural College was not up to the required
standard. Even the little Albany acade
my, which has a couple of teachers, was
very active in favoring the "shut out"
The Willamette University, of Salem,
which several years ago was the princi
pal school of Oregon, but which now has
so retrograded that it is scarcely known
outside of its own city, was the moving
spirit in the plot In fact, outside of the
University of Oregon, the opposition to
the Agricultural College came wholly
from sectarian schools. The probable
cause for the latter taking such a step, is
jealousy. 1
English is the only language taught in
the regular O. A. C. course, but the in
struction in this branch is equal to that
taught in any institution ' in the state.
Many students take up the other
languages as extras, under competent
and learned professors. In all the prac
tical sciences the Agricultural College is
far ahead of all other institutions in the
state. Of course, it is pre-eminently a
practical school, and its greater reputa
tion is on that account But its literary
and theoretical work is far ahead of most
of the so-called universities and colleges
which voted to bar it from future orator
ical contests. While the vote prohibiting
the O. A. C from such contests is accepted
by friends of the institution as an in
tended insult, it is more an exhibition of
petty jealousy and narrow-minded mean
ness, on the part of other schools, than
an expression of actual ; disbelief in the
efficiency of this college in literary mat
ters. Acknowledged champions in any
class of contests are usually barred by
amateurs. The O. A. C. freely resigns
its right to enter the tournament on this
ground, and on no other. It will con
sider its disbarment as an acknowledge
ment of championship. The address of
Mr. Buxton, published elsewhere, shows
that such an acknowledgement would be
wise. The other institutions of learning
may form a college aristocracy, a court
clique if they will, but the O. A. C, for
tunately, does not need such alliances to
maintain its standing as the foremost in
stitution of learning in the state.
Thb call upon A. F. Hershnerto retain
for another three years the responsible
position of school director is a flattering
testimonial to that gentleman's past ser
vices in that capacity. The schools are
in bplendid condition, and to keep them
so, it. is essential that there should be no
change in the personnel of the board so
long as its members display a talent for
managing the affairs of the district capa
bly and economically. That Mr. Hersh
nerhas displayed such talent is evinced
by the unanimous expression of public
favor and approval accorded him by the
vote of Monday.
Governor Lord's judicious exercise
of the veto power shows the wisdow of
selecting an able jurist to occupy the ex
ecutive chair. During his incumbency,
the people .of Oregon need have no fears
that legislative acts will become laws un
less the same are strictly in accord with
the true spirit and intent of the constitu
tion. Heretofore there has been much
needless and expensive litigation ' caused
on account of the improper use of the
veto prerogative.
An exchange thinks that the fellow
who writes the next democratic platform
should begin at once to attend a good
school of diplomacy for, of course, it will
be necessary to point with pride to the
results of the present administration.
