A correspondent of the Orcgoula writing Irwn Kalem and suspected to an ei-speaker of the house, refer to the present legislative hold up and (lie ret lunation of I lie repnblcan member 1W18 a follow: Ttie old proverb that "politic make strange bedfellow" was prohabty nevr hotter illuttraled than in the preterit complication in the Oregon lrc.ialailv assnuihly. Ooldbug are arrayed agaioat goldbuga; quondam friends of "free and unlimited coinage" are clotchiug at each oilier' throala A new line of cleavage divide the demccrailu parly, aud th "money power" i gettiog a short respite while populist ezcLaoge among them- aelvea the compliment of the season Mr. (Simon, the republican president of the senate r Mr. Mackay, the republican chairman of the Multnomah county committee; Mr. Johu C. Young, chair man of (ho populiat atate central com lull tee; and Jonathan Bourne, whilom Mitchell republican candidate for the epeakerahip of the houae, are making common cause againet Benator Mitchell while eo-xe of the etauncheat advocate of the gold standard, having no sympa thy lor the view formerly advocated by our senior senator, are now earnestly advocating hi re-eluctlon. Hon. Joseph (iaaton, ouo of the lead' ing oracles of populism, overlooking the history of Kansas, Nebraska and Col orado, declares that the present disorder s characteristic of republicans generally, and of Oregon republican in particular Inaupportof his declaration, be cites the Oregon legislature of 1808, and there seems to be a popular misconception of the notion taken in that body. That leg Mature was democratic in both benches. Botb houses had been in sea sion for the usual period of 40 days be fore any trouble arose. At that time, the imputation of the state was probably Ices than one-third what it is today, and me subject matter 01 legislation were probably not one tenth their present vol ume, anu importance. 11 w days are sufllcient for legislation at (hit time, 20 days should have been ample in 1803; but it appears that the two democratic house o that session frllteied away the entire 4i days without bringing in the getioral appropriation bill. The repub lican minority in tbo house did every thing within reasoj to secure the intro duction and disposal of that bill, making repeated efforts to call it up, and re mained in their seats resdy for business until tbrco days beyond the prescribed 40 days had expired. At the cud of that time, despairing of any action, they sub mitted their resignations and went home. PERPETUAL HARVEST. The wheat crop is always tieing har vested somewhere. Just now while the American farmer is pot thinking of wheat, the crop of Australia, Chili and tbo Argentine Republic ia being pat on tho maikut. In February and March thoUoMaof Upper Egypt and those of India are harvested. That of Lower Egypt, which ia irrigated by the over flowing of the Nile, is harvested in April, while iyria, Cyprus, Fertia aud Asia Minor also gather crops duriug that month. Cuba's wheat will also be gath ered iu April. Texas is the first of our states to send wheat to the market. This ia during May, at the same time that fields of Algeria, Central Asia, Cbina, Japan and Morocco are making their yield. In June those of California, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina, Tenn essee, Virginia, Keutuckey, Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Tur key, Greece, Italy, Spain, 1'ortugal and the south of France are harvested. In July the North Pacific states begin. Hussia then begins to gather her grain, moro being harvested in August, when Manitoba, Lower Canada, North Dakota and the northernmost countries ; ol Europe are the scenes of the harvest. .Sweden, Norway and Northern Russia are the only wheat fields covered with the golden grain iu September and Oc tober. Hut just as these are gathered, the crops in Peru and South, Africa are roady, uud in December New South Wales gathers her harvest, Corn for tho Starving In India. A plan to rolleve the Ismiue sufferers iu Irj'dia by tecuiing'contrlbutlons of corn to fye shipped to Horubsy is being participated in by the Mothodist min isters of Illinois and was discussed, at thoir regulur weekly meeting. Ii. (J. Ilobbs, secretary of the Illiuoia confer ence and pastor of tho Ceotcuary church at Jacksonville, III., wrote to the Meth odist Ministers' Association tolling them of a plan he had started aud asking their co-operation. IIo bai asked the farmers In the vicinity of Jacksonville to con tribute corn for the relief of the sufferer from famine in India. He met with a ready response to his request; the far mers offering not only to contribute the corn, but to load it on the cars. This plan wai submitted to Dr. W, 11. Leo nard, secretary of the Methodist Foreign Misiouivry Society, whose office is iu New York. He suggested that the corn secured by Mr. Hobba be shipped to Chicago uud sold, aud the tuouey realised from the sale of it sent to New York, where he proposes to invest it lu old corn eud ship this to ludia.

Representative Thomas nta'ea that his ropoeed apportionment is based strictly on population, and there is no politics in it. Representative bonier s of Linn also has introduced a bill substantially the same as that of Mr. Thomas. dol- Counterfeit Dollars. That millions of counterfeit silver fors are. afloat in the cquntry is now cer tain. How many no one will ever know for not only are they of the same weight as those coined in the United States mints, but in nearly every case of the same fineness of actual silver. Strange as it may seem, many of tboro counter feits coutaiu more silver than legal dol lars, runuing as high a (M0 fine. This evil, however, cannot be easily checked, for these counterfeit silver dollars can not be detected by microscope or acid. I'renzled Bread Rioters. London, Feb. 3. A Madrid dispatch tells of the manner in which the bread riots at Madrid and Arukjuez were quieted by the militia. According to these accounts the officer promised to ex amino into tho popular grievances. During the riots, lho correspondent ays, the uiob succeeded iu destroying 11 of the Octroi posts. The mayor and municipal officers were stoneJ aud com pelled to seek hurried refuge in the town hall. Ths police were very for bearing, largely on account of tho pres ence among the rioters of mauy womeu and children. There was a pretty general iuow storm throughout Eastern Oregon list eek the fall being all the way from four inches to a foot in depth.

IN The at earner Alkl, on her last trip from Alaska biougbt news of a bloody chap' ter In the career of Slim Birch, the noto rious yoang desperado of Juneau, who, while awaiting transportation to servs three-year sentence in San Qnenten prison, Cal., was released by aceotn plices, who visited the Jail, overpow ertd the jailer, locked bim in a cell and accompanied th escaping prisoner. no iiaings 01 uirch were received on til the closing days tf January, when Indian brought new to Juneaa that Birch and his companions were stop ping in a cabin 20 mile from Juneaa, on an island. Deputy Marshal Hale at once chartered a steamer, and making op a posse, comprising Deputy Vnited Stales Marshal Watts, Jaiier Lindquist, Guard Hayse and an Indian police man, started in pursuit. The cabin found the following day, after a tortuous trip over rough, snowy country, amid terrific cold. Bod generalship in the charge which was made on the cabin permitted two of the four inmates to es cape to a rocky eminence, between which and the cabin the posse was she! tered. A leniffic battle theu began. Watts was shot twice, Hale once seriously, and Bayss was wounded in both legs. Ten minutes later all of the poeeo except Watts started on the back trail from the scene of the Gght to where the boat was anchored. Watts, being left at the mercy of the outlaws on 1 he hill, was bet several times where he lay between two log i. The steamer made an haste back to Juneau with the wounded men, and posse of 20 started out, returning the next day. Then 30 more Janeauites, to gether with several men from Sitka and the neighboring cannery settlement, went out. Watts was found dead, frozen stiff in the snow, where his cowardly companions had left him. The rearcb was continued for two day without success, but the desperadoes were finally found by two Indians, lying asleep in a dense underbrush. Word was carried to a cannery, where were two Herculean fellows, Cheney 'and ON sen, and they made the capture in pic tureeque 'yle. Unarmed, they climed ledge 12 feet above the sleeping and hesyily armed pair of bandits, and at signal jumped down on tbem. Bo'h men were manacled, after a short resist ance. Birch's lone companion is also an old offender, named Sneli, who robbed the Tread well works some years ago. Both are in jail at Sitka. Cheney and Olsen will get the 1-300 offered for Birch's recapture. Indignation runs very high in Junesu, and the two men would have been lynched, had they been taken there. Birch's two other companions had not been apprehended when the Al-Ki sailed. The Protective Policy. The weak-kneed and the half-breeds are putting forth the idea that it will not be wise for Mr. McKinley and the in coming administration to return to the old-time protective policy of the party. Wby not? It is true that the victory of 1898 was under the banner of sound money, aud by this ii meant the preser vation of the gold standard, but every man who voted the republican ticket ex pected that in the event of its success not only would the gold standard te main tained, but the deficit-producing Wilson- ormau bill would be repealed. That evidence of "party, perfidy and dis honor" would not be allowed to longer cumber the record. Every man who voted against the republican nominee bad as one ol his reasons for so voting the belief that a tariff law on McKinley line would follow McKinley' election. The cry of "go slow" in the matter of tariff legislation is a device of the enemy. Times have changed since 1890 and an exact re-enactment of the law of tha) year would not fit just uow ; but tbe idea ust he followed if it is expected that the good times under the much abused McKinley tariff are to be restored. villi .

John Wilhams aud Jim Waters, two Indians, who were fishing for Bturgeoo iu the Columbia river, were drowned latt Tuesday. The accident occurred at the Narrows, three miles above The Pallet, here the current is very swift. An im mense sturgeon got hold of their line sod swung the boat across the current, the boat was upset 'ami tbo whirling water soon carried them down. A 0 year-old boy who was with tbem managed to reach shore with the aid of the oars from the boat, and told tho story.
