ert Watch, of Lane utility, appears
to be the favorite of the democracy
of this district for the nomination
fur congress, and, as there is n fair
probability nf his election if nomi
nated, it would not be it bad idea
at all to tender him a nomination
by acclamation. The farmers of
the Willamette section want him
badly, nnd tin1 man who gets the
alliance vole at tin' next election
will be elected almost licyond n
doubt. Watch is an able, honest,
practical man, and has the confi
dence of till wlio know him to such
an extent that it will lie an impos

The Portland Telegram com
menting on the convention club
rows says: The wrangle in the
republican convention dill'crs from
that in the late democratic conven
tion. In the latter tho tumult
arose from a desire of the inctnl'crs
to crush out nil apioaraiioo of boss
ism. There was no scramble for
fictional power. It was simply an
effort to have an oen and square
deal, and it suecenlcd. Put there
is a marked ditlerenco in the repub
lican row. Mere it is a scullle
among the bosses who wish to es
tablish ring power. Mr. Aver
frankly avows that all he is after is
the glory of political leadership.
When the republican convention
was called Mr. I.otan and Mr. Si
mon commenced writing letters to
their friendx in the country to send
delegates who could be relied UHn
to dethrone Aver and to remit the
control of liartv utlairs to the old
hands. They were not willing to
let the old machine rest in idleness
while a new-lledged lmss was work
ing the party machine in his own
j interest. It is simply a war of
i lises, mill, regardless of who wins,
j the republican party in Oregon is
I to lie kept in subj.vtion to ring
' domination.

Young men's democratic and re

through the valley. Jn their ranks
you will find the "most enthusiastic
workers and the leaders of tomor
row's campaigns.
Riwburg Review: Speaker T T
(icer is attending all tho farmer's
institutes held in the state. This
is an indication that he has an uot
ivc congressional bee in his hat.
When a politician puts hayseed in

Tie; Republican (-Hub meeting in
Portland rivaled the Democratic

At the .-nine time and place of
holding the national ilcmocratio
convention will lc held a conven

most important and must influen

The .1 unction City Times truth
fully says: "The Independence
West Side is 'ferniiist' Watch for
emigres;1. Tho whirligig of politics
may cause our gifted neighbor' to
eat bis words. Watch may not be
very popular with politicians but
he stands high with tho masses.''
The curious, have had another

No more war talk. No one ser
iously injured but the president
and diplomatic part of the admin
istration, who have had their paws
badly scorched endeavoring to get
the chestnut out of the fire. Every
impartial reader of the correspon
dence so far submitted will not
question the statement that the
warlike attitude of the States was
without reas n or justice.
Junction City Times: L. Rilyeu,
of Kugciie, is mentioned in connec
tion with senatorial honors from
the democratic side of the house.
Mr. liilyeu is an able attorney, fully
ulive to tho wants and needs of
Luno county, and would reflect
honor and crodit to Lis constituen
cy. Ho is a whole-souled gentle
man and recognizes his friunds oGo
days in the year. Tho democracy
could go farther and faro worse.
Tho Interstate Artificial Rain
company, of Kansas, have entered
into a contract with parties in Tu
lare county, California, to produce.
during a period of thirty days, an
average rainfall of not less than
three inches, within a radius of
twenty-five miles from the point of
operation, the amount of said rain
fall to be determined by true and
correct rain gauges located nt differ
ent points within said radius. The
consideration is Jf-'loUO and in case
the party of the first part fail to
bring the rain according to con
tract, then, in that case they shall
receive no compensation for nny
work they may have done.
Count I ,co Tolstoi will print in
the World, over his own signature,
an article on the Russian famine,
its extent and the methods em
ployed to relievo suffering. He
says the people are awaiting their
doom with the stolid inditl'crcnce
of despair. lie acquits the general
government and the local func
tionaries of neglect or procrastina
tion in dealing with tho problem,
nnd says that tho work of relieving
the famine transcends tho ability
cither of the government or of w
people to perform it. This is in
striking contrast to the alnu st an
gry assertions of the czar, that
there was no famine in Russia, but
only a partial failure of tho crops,
whi di could be relieved by trans
ferring f.Hxl from some provinces to
others. The world will be likely
to cret'.it Tolstoi rather than the
czar.
Hermann has never cast a vote
in congress in favor of a tariff that
would cheapen the necessities of
life to the ioor man. On the con
trary be voted for the McKinley
bill that made an increase of from
10 to oOO jier cent, on many of tho
lnvcssiths that enter into daily
consumption. His record lias been
niainlv one of promises, self gratu-
l.ttious through a paid bureau of
correspondence, interlarded with
handshakings and luxl bless
y ou's" w hen Lome in vacations.
Yet .one of the parti iants oi his
favors would sse 1 . it as the "far
mers friend," as witi.ess the follow
imj from the Koseburg Plaindealcr:
The democrats of the first con
gre i.mal district will doubtless
p.:t up Watch of Lane for congress.
Well, M them juit him up, Her

The farmers on uplands in Lam;

A l, umber of county courts made

Fugeno will improve as usual

It will not be lung before the as

departure from the truth.
The Chinese pay extra attention
to the China lily to have it well
and i.ewly in blossom during the
beginning of their new year. It
should not blossom before that
date. They suppose the number
of blooms indicates the degree , of
good luck for the year that will be
enjoyed by the possessor.

The price paid for the land was not

use it for the colonization of his

are already settling upon it.
Th1.' reciprocity we will get from
the brilliant diplomacy of the pres
ent administration is the hatred
and ill will of nearly all our South
American neighbors. All practical
results of tho great Pan American
congress, about which such a blow
of trumpets was made, have been
killed by that "aggressive foreign
policy" of the man from Maine.

is now t ) pay a large sum in boun
ties to sugar-growers, but the work
men on government contracts can't
get their money. Pounties for the
rich the poor can wait for their
wages; that is latter-day treasury
policy, brought about by the ex
travagance of the billion dollar con
gress. Oi e poor planter in Louisiana
will this year draw from the Unit
ed States Treasury a bounty of
tSo.l'OO upon a sugar product of
1,20(1,000 pounds. There are other
beneficiaries of the McKinley tariff
who indirectly draw a great deal
more out of the pockets of the
American consumers. The differ
ence is only in the process.
An exchange says: Hon. T. T.
(Jeer, of .Marion county, is an active
aspirant for the republican nomi
nation for congressman in this dis
trict. It is stated that he has a
similar letter to the one Hermann
wrote to Miller, and considers Her
mann as sincere in saying that he
is not a candidate. By the way it
is a t-ingular thing that Mr. Her
mann's closest friends are those
who place no reliance in his own
written . pledges of withdrawal.
They apparently best know the
value of his word.
An exchange says if skunk skins
and sheep skins circulating equally
constituted the currency of this na
tion the price of skunk skins would
be doubled in price by simply pass
ing a law declaring sheep skins il
legal. There are two billions of gold
in tl is world and about the same
amount of silver coin. For centu
ries they have circulated about
equally and at par with each other.
Py demonetizing silver the pur
chasing price of gold was doubled.
Hence tho decline in values that
now swamp the merchant nnd bur
den the people with extra taxes.
Portland Telegram: Tho best,
the right, the honorable thing to
do, is for Multnomah county to pay
its taxes, as assessed by tho state
board, and if it has any grievance,
go before the board next year nnd
not "squeal" about a just and law
ful assessment, but simply ask that
other property, all over the state,
be assessed as the law requires, it
its actual cash value, lhen Ore
gon would Ik- worth $:(X),000,000,
and perhaps everybody with four
bits vould not lie trying to dodge
his little share of taxation, ns they
now. and nowhere so completely
and successfully as here in Multno
mah county. To tell the truth, we
can't blame the bo;ud for making
an example of us.
An ingenious hop grower of L'ki
ah, Cal., put his kiln to a novel use
the past summer, while waiting for
the usual fall curing of his crop.
After beating the great furnace un
derneath the wire dryer and then
spread freshly-laid eggs uiam tho
screen thus changing the building
into a gigantic incubator. At first
trial tioOO eggs were tirelessly
watched during the incubating per
iod. There was much excited in
teres cviii.nl by the ginul towns
jH'ople when it came to tho hatch
ing .-ut of the chicks. The capa
cious boo kiln was invaded by mis
cellaneous crowds of amused, cur
ious visitors, and finally at tho so
licitation of prominent citizens, a
regu'ar exhibition was made of the
multiplied broods. (hi this occa
sion there were exosed at one time
on tin' raised platform of the kiln
2"l dewny, jieeping mites of every
conceivable shade jsssible in infan
tile thickens. Whethi r theextcri
ment, suovs-fully demonstrated in
this instati'v, will le reinatcd by
ither hop growers, remains to l
set n.
