GOING BACK TO THK SEA.
During the past year more interest
lias been taken in the development of
oar ocean carrying trade than there has
been for the preceeding quarter of a cen
tury. For twenty-five years the nation
lias been devoting her energies to inter
nal development.. Her main railroad
system is now built and the first hand to
hand struggle for possession of the
wilderness is ended. There 5s yet vfjst
room for capital, labor and. population
to utilize onr agricultural resources', but
the area of rapid speculative conquest is
-now ended. In these, past, years 'there
have been many reasons given for the
disappearance of the American merchant
marine from the high seas, and, while
one and another of these reasons may
have had some justification, it is enough
to recognize the one maine fact that the
United States abandoned the , ocean
freighting business at a time when inter
nal development offered better remuner
ation to capital and labor. A marked
change has lately taken place and there
are unmistakable evidences of a strong
disposition to return to the sea. The
new navy, the reciprocity treaties and
the postal steamship subsidy act are
among the official signs. The commer
cial signs are not leas significant. The
Tecent naval maneuvers on the Atlantic
coast have proved beyond question that
we can plan and build war vessels. .The
newest of our cruisers and the battle
ships under construction are confessedly
the best of their respective classes in the
world, the cruisers being the fastest, ves
sels ever designed and the battle-ships
being the most powerful. Under the
stimulus of the ocean mail act . new
iLnes of steamers are being projected in
Hlmost every direction. Meanwhile it
is possible that the return of the United
states to the ocean carrying trade may
be accomplished through, the rapid
adoption of a wholly new ' model of
freighting craft which, itself, is wholly
the product of American genius. For a
year or two the grain and ore carrying of
the great lakes'' has been employing in
constantly increasing numbers, a new
form of barge called the "whaleback,"
4tnd it has been found advantageous to
use the same model for the propelling
uteamer ns well as for the towed barges.
The whalebacks have, of all vessels , ever
built, by far the largest carrying capacity
for tlx least cost of construction, the
greatest strength and security with the
greatest ease and economy of operation
nnd the greatest speed with the smallest
quantity of coal. One 'of these, the
Chas. W. Wetmore has lately taken a
cargo of 100,000 bushels of wheat from
Duluth to Liverpool" and the trip has
demonstrated her superior seaworthiness
beyond question. She consumed only
one-third . the coal that an ordinary
freight steamer would have used in do
ing alike service. The whalebacks are
to be built in increasing numbers at
West Superior, by 'the American Steel
Barge company from steel plates, mode
on tbo ground out of Lake Superior iron
ore. It is a novel idea that the typical
water-carriers of the future destined to
" be known on. every sea and in every port
should be constructed in ship yards as
far inland as W icon sin and Minnesota.
' From the number' of strange faces of
liard-featured men and boys seen on the
streets we judge that Salem has sent up
a delegation of the pickpockets and gam
biers that infested that place daring the
state fair last week. .During the time of
our district fair last year some very slick
work was done in this city jn the way of
picking pockets and burglarizing bouses
It will be well for our citizens during
' the present week to take special care to
leave nothing' of -value" lying, around
'lOOSe. ' V , I V y .;..'.;'

Although Mrs. Sutherland Orr de
clares the belief that Robert Browning
had Jewish blood in his veins, Kate
Field, is . inclined to credit . the notion
solely on the evidence of the poet's phy
siognomy, which she says I' was essenti
ally Hebraic, . growing more, so as he
grew older, and quite apparent , in the
portrait of 1889, a photogravure of which
adorns Mrs. Orr's work. I never saw a
nose like Mr. Browning's on any but
Hebraic, faces. ; Moreover Mr. Brown
ing's love of music, art and language
was very un-English; hence circumstan
cial evidence is, from iiiy point of view,
clearly in favor of a Jewish ancestor."

" The present weak prices for wheat, in
view of conditions abroad, are said te be
due to American " dealers having gotten
into the habit of putting down their own
prices whenever "lower cables'' . are. re

shall hold .to the theory that English
markets have broken because of the
weakness on this side. AmeHctm.-deal-ecs
have been accustoiiied for -years to
looking abroad for quotations on which
to base their own, and cannot grow into
the idea that America : control 9 prices.'

A Very Bold Thief. ,
Wednesday afternoon a tramp who
possessed the audacity of a prize fighter
and the cheek of a political aspirant, and
having no fear of the law, doctors or any
other man before him, burglarized the
house of our fellow-townsman Mr.
Whann, the business manager of Staver
& Walker, and succeeded in making a
haul that would or ought to have satis
fied a first-class thief. Upon taking ac
count of. stock, he had stolen about $250
worth of jewelry, some $6 in cash, a re
volver and Mr. Whann's best articles of
raiment. Upon the discovery of the
theft, the officials were notified and a
search for the thief was instituted, and
after a most dilligent search, he was dis
covered a short distance above town in a
clamp of bushes near the railroad track,
arrested and brought before Justice
Knowles.' It being late in the evening
His Honor relegated him to the tender
mercies of Marshal McLachlan, who fur
nished bim with first-class, accommoda
tions in our city jail. Daring the even
ing while the marshal was gone to pro
vide a few delicacies such as angel cake
and shrimps for the aforesaid tramp's
fastidious taste, he repaid his kindness
by endeavoring to break jail. . He had
in some manner secured a large piece of
a broken bottle, and wrapping- a cloth
around it, was discovered in trying to
sever some of the bars ..before bis win
dow. He was soon placed in a position
where' he was perfectly safe. :Tharsday
morning he again appeared before. Jus-:
tice Knowles, who bound him over in
the sum of $1,000 to appear before the
grand jury. Grand Rond Chronicle.

been based on over-estimates of the cost
of the general dependent pension law.
