They can get along without ua. The party of retaliation ia growing in every Kuropean country, and in the past three months, has guiued more adherents than in tbo last ten years. Another bad bill is the one In control Southern election! in the intercut of the lie publican Party. It will prove a had one for the Republican party. That is the reason Ittaiue ia Handing from under. Examiner: Mr. Maine never did a bright er thing than when be allowed himelf to be effaced in the Administration. The new hands at Washington have run the machine just aa if no such person as Dlniue had ever lived. They have bnd full swing and now that smash seems to be iuevilnblo Mr. Maine calmly steps to one side, adjusts bis (eyeglasses to view the Impending wreck, nnd smilingly murmurs: "I told you so." If there ia anything left of the, Republican party after the fall elections llltine is likely In be its leader. Harrison, ltced and Mo Kinley have boon given plenty of rope and Ihey have made good uae of it. A most extraordinary event bus happened. A llelgiun manufacturer haa underbid the 1'llUburg iron makers 25 per cent, on o con tract for iron beams and ehannela for a new court house at Minneapolis. This naturally satoiiishei Carnegie, Phillips ft Co., who have been growing rich on a protection of 115 per cent, on structural iron, and they nre surprised by the bid into the admission that wagea and oilier Items hare recently advanced 17 per cent, iu Europe. Wa have heard of no such advance hero. What does it all mean? Simply Ibis, that our iron uiastera have been charging such outrageous Iirotits that eveu lift per cent, duty does not ;eep out the foreigu proil'ict. The Council UliifTs Globe says: That Grover Cleveland is the most popular man iu Ibe niiuda of the people is a fact thor oughly established, and that he will be the next nominee of bis party for the presidency is no longer a matter of doubt, The recent state convention at Kpringlleld, III., was al most a unit In bis support, and this is but ii n indicator of the light iu which the ex president is eileemed by the people of the whole country. The liest record for running one mile, l.!l'J', woa beaten at Chicago Saturday by l.acine, a California three year old horse, and the time lowered to In the samo race two other horses made the mile in 1 41). The former record was made by Ten llroeck several years ago, and was made under the most favorable conditions, being race against timo with no other horse in the way, nud wilb track, horse and all iu the most favorable condition. The Oregonlan heads a dispatch almut the Oregon delegation to Congress: They all Work Hard. They do, especially iu getting tip their telrurnphio pulls. It must take considerable time, money and ingenuity to uisnulactiire, nnd hnve sent and printed, the many columns every week of boasting and pnllinii that these fellows send out to Oregon.

As a result there are over 200 (actories in the country turning these boxes nut. The wood of wliicb these boxoa art made comes from Mexico, Central Ainer lea and the West ludies. lieu liutterworth savs La voted for the McKiuley bill because he thought it better to jump iu the wagon and ride with the rest than to stuud iu front of the team and try to atop it witb a liludgi-on, only low knocked down and run over for his pains. It is thus that "lloss" KeeJ baa taught the Republicans of the Louse not to uioukey who (he band wagon. The New York Worl 1 thinks that Tanner's cry of "God help the surplus," would not avail just now, us there ia uo longer any surplus to help. That recalls a very ancient story: "Uamuia," said the little boy, ' can Ond do everything?

Tlie Willamette Valley a It Appears to a Stranger. When mv friend turned Li face from Csl ifnrnia. OresoUKard.be remarked to me that he wished to settle in soma agricultural rifrlnll not denenil, nt ou any tyitem of art! fliil irriestiun for success. And when I arrived In Eugene lust December I was quid incliued to think be bad lilt It. irrigation in Oregon is not aitifloial, but aa a system in general Is butu successlul ana extensive. 'I lia nresent summer and the raina of lust wiuter. I am told, being exceptional to the general order of the climate. A sirsnger in Oregon sees much to enjoy, much to appre ciate and excite ambition, much to surprise and wonder at, much to venerate and some things to question. The climate of the Willamette Valley ei far as observed is pleasant and seems health ful and even In this unseasonable year gives to tho strangtr an Impression of great fruit fulness. The writer Las been in a variety of climates in different parts of the union and pent years enough in each locality to learn tho climatic character of each, but from Maine to Minnesota and thence to Kentucky and Kansas and onward still to central Cali fornia has fouud nothing to compete witb or to surpass Oregon, The native llowors of this stale aurpass anything of the kind I have ever seen beore in the regions meulioned. The richness of display and the variety of coloring is qnite surprising. I have found here wild many flowers that I bud before supposed on this continent to be coulined entirely to culture. What fruits and vegetables of Oregon growth I hive seen were of fine quality and flavor. Tbo apples and potatoes in particular, and these have quite a reputation for tbeir good ness outside of the state. In California we were quite eager for Oregon apples and po tatoes, and it is quite a mutter of anrpriae that as long as litis, valley has been settled no more haa been done toward exporting. It is also a matter of aurprise to strangers to observe the material facilities for acquiring wealth and so little accomplished beyond se curing comfort. I have visited localities In tbls valley wbeie individuals told ma they bad been on their places for thirty or thirty-Rye years: llright, intelligent people, who had bad no more thau the ordinary drawbacks In life, who bad settled down in a dreamy sort of peace and comfort, content with Juat enough to keep them going. Orchard and garden enough for their owo uae, any surplus weut to wusio. iiusi cows ana cuicaens enongu, If anyone came to tbs door to pur- base a pound of butter or a dozen of eggs or a cbicksn. Yea, they bad them to spare, but were entirely too com for tublo to give themselves the double of mar keting anything, aud when asked why they iliil not cultivate and produce for shipment. quite laughed nt the idea na suggesting too much trouble. The Louses of these people are supplied with the same furniture that they provided themselves when they made their settlement more than thirty years auo. Some of it was bronght from tbeir old homes iu Indiana, or Ohio, or elsewhere and as long as it will hold together and can be made to servo the purpose, I suppose, will do as well as any. - "Is it healthy here?" I inquired. The general reply was, "Yes," and soma very umusing ouuurds are told, I suppose to sup port the theory of health aud lougevity, aa it is said facetiously that no one dies In Ore- gun, they juat grow old aud keep on grow ing old till lue moss develops aud securely binds them to their seats. The story is told that a stranger wet an old man crying, who on being asked what was the matter replied. pointing to a ami older man near by, ' Dad over there whipped me." "And what did you whip him for" was asked of the aged disciplinarian, who answered "for sassiug Lis grand dad., and Le pointed to a centeu- nanuu fust bound to Ins chair, probably, the one brought from the east when he emigra ted, aud oovercd with moss. There la a tra dition that in Oregon a mau one grew ao old that at last in despair of dying he begged to be taken to the east but added that when be was dead he wished to be bronght back to Oregon for burial. Accordingly he was taken to the east wliicb soon nnlsbed him. and in compliance witb Lis wish bis frier ds started back to Lis western home with the body. On the way Ihey were surprised to hear atioise iu tbs coflln aud opeued it to investigate, whou up rose the corpse, ex claiming, "back in Oregon, I deolare. Well, this climate is enough to bring the dead to life. I ought to have been burled in New York," from these facetious views of health and longevity, I am inclined to think that the old Oregotiiatis have either been enjoying a Hip Van Winkle sloop or fancy they have reached those happy hunting grouuds that belong traditionally to these regions, Whatever the cause nisy be, there is ev idently an apathy on the part of these people that renders them luditterent to the material wealth that is within their graap. Somethina ol the same apathetic character was observ able Iu the middle states some fifty years bo fore railroads hoc Invaded those regions. Kupid transit ami communication Lave wrought wouders there aud perhaps the same agencies are even now awakening the la tent spirit of enterprise and ambition that Las been only dormant iu the breasts of those naturally bright people sud will soon develop tne vast sua annosi uuiutuomauie resources of this wouderful valley. 8.

Welcome: Amongst the many causes that have conspired to make a scaroity of money not only in l'orttnud but throughout the Slate, not the least is the scarcity of beef cattle a sufficiency of which heretofore Las Leen owned by Oregon farmers. It haa been said by those conversant with the stock ami beef business that in the past year nt leust 1 1,000,000 which should have been held in Oregon was forwarded to California for fat beef. One firm alone has paid in freight on euttlefof the past flVe months $100,000. For fat beef in California Tortlund butchers bsve paid V, cents per pound and with the additiou of freight, they yet buy cheaper than they can at home, where good beef cat tle are held at Ave cents. When this mar ket is mentioned Western Washington and Victoria must be considered in, since l'ort laud supplies these sections witb fuur-fifths of their beef. Prinevills Review: The number ot calvis branded by some of the loading cattle raisers of the county this season as compared with what they branded in the spring rids hint yoar, is a fair illustration ot how the past winter affected the cattle business in this count. In the inrino rids last rear A. U. Lylo. branded 300 calves and Joe Ilinkle 0 1. These geutlemen bsve just got through ml lug and the result of the spring galhcrini! ia 100 calves lor air. Lyle and TJ lot Mr. Ilin kle. Of course they Lave not lost such i number of outlle as those figures would iudi cate, but the severe weather caused a very short crop ol calves this sea sou.
