JUDGE GRESHAM'S SAY
I ama Democrat on The Tariff And
Economy
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER.
Has Great Confidence in the Ability of
Carlisle to Fix Things.
BUT TO SMASH GOES THE RACKKT.
If There is to be Any Monkey Business
Tolerated by the Party In Power
After March 4th.
Washington, Jan. 28. Special. In
an interview on political subjects Judge
Gresham has declared himself a demo
crat on tariff and . economy positions
only. He'says: "I consider the tariff
as the only great question dividing the
two parties. If the democrats when
they take charge, will carry out their
pledges sincerely and consistently, and
knock out the protection fraud I will
stay with them, and so will hundreds of
thousands of independents who'voted for
Cleveland in November. But should
the democrats fail to keep their pl"' '
not one of these men will be found- vut
ing the democratic ticket in 1896. ' I feel
pretty good, though, about the future,
for the fact that Carlisle is going to take
the treasury is a guaranty that the new
tariff bill will give tariff-reformers satis
faction. ; It is gratifying to know that
we have a man like Carlisle to help
Cleveland through the great tariff fight
which will soon be upon us. Carlisle is
a great man and knows all about the
tariff and can make no mistakes. I pre
dict for him a successful . caj-eer in the
treasury, and also in two years I expect
to see the finances of the country so plain
and so simple that a boy can write a
statement of the treasury and under
stand it. A it stands now- the more
statements we read of the condition of
the treasury the less we know. But
Carlisle can be trusted, and he will suc
ceed in bringing order out of chaos, and
if he does he is my candidate for presi
dent in 1896, and there is not a man in
the country that can beat him for the
nomination and election."
Saturday Half Holiday.
Chicago, Jan. - 28. Special. The
first law which has passed the present
legislature, goes into effect today. It is
the result of the Saturday half holiday
movement. Many of the prominent
business concerns of the city and all the
banking houses are quite willing to ac
cept the innovation, and the employes
can hardly be expected to object to an
arrangement which gives them a larger
leisure. The law making the day a legal
half-holiday may or may not commend
itself to those whom it will most effect.
But its provisions are substantially in
agreement with a custom already volun
tarily adopted by many of our largest
firms. In the course of years it has tie
come patent to those employers that
four or five hours can bo taken from the
week's work without seriously impeding
business. In summer the cue torn among
wholesale firms is almost universal, and
there is little reason for believing that a
law regulating it will be less successful
in Illinois than it has been in other
states.
Oen. Lopei Divorce Suit.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 28. Spe
cial. Sensational proceedings have
been begun here by Mme. Maud Alex
andria Lopez against Gen. Enrique
Lopez of Buenos Ayres, Argentine re
public. Mine. Lopez is of the distin
guished Lloyd family of London, Eng

the money of Mme. Lopez' mother
Fearing that the general would reduce
her to want ehe came to America and
applied here for a divorce on the ground
of non-support and cruelty. .Gen. Lopez
will fight the case and is expected here
himself in a few weeks.

OREGON WHEAT PRODCCTIOX.
Th. Best in the World What is Said of
the Palouse Region.
Geo. Belshaw, of the famous Oregon
wheat producing family ; is on a visit to
the Palouse region. Of grain production
there Mr. B. says: "The general price
of land is from $20 to $50 per' acre ac
cording to quality. This last year was
unusually dry for wheat raising, the
same as in the Willamette, but the aver
age about here was twenty-five bushels
per acre, and would have been more if
the weather had remained cooler, just at
the time it came out in head and began
to fill. I believe by some different mode
of farming, their quality of wheat which
is from seven to ten cents per 100 pounds
lower than ours, might be made to reach
within two or three cents. In the first
place, they are ruining their land just
like many in the valley have done, rais
ing wheat after wheat for a dozen years
or more without fallowing it, plowing
thin and cultivalingthe wild oats, which
are setting prettv thick, and eenerallv
seeding with spring wheat which is the
little chaff red club, one bushel per acre
and sometimes less, and just as it comes
from the threshing machine, with all
the email grains which is a great detri
ment to the whole crop.
It needs to be well cleaned through a
good fanning mill, small grains taken
out, and then sown about one bushel
and a peck to an acre. I think some
other white winter varieties would do
bctte', and should be put in during the
fall, as early as possible, so as to escape
this burning, and which would get past
that warm time while filling and bring
?a better price in the market. I have
just received a letter from a gentleman
in Ohio, by the name of T. P. Vance.
He wants me to furnish him with 125,000
bushels of wheat for seed this season. I
think, by his letter, that his idea is to
sell it out in smalt quantities. I am
sorry ne naa not let me known sooner ;
but you can see now what might be done,
and what has already been accomplished
with the best wheat of all nations from
Lane county and the prospect is encour
aging that we shall again achieve laurels
and show to the world that the state of
Oregon is invincible."
The Stormy Petrel's Knduranue.
N. Y. Sun. During
a recent, trip
across the Atlantic the
passengers on
one steamer had a vivid illustration of
the endurance of the stormy petrel.
Shortly after the ship left the Irish
coast two or three of these birds were
sighted at the stern of the ship. One
had beeu caught at some previous time
and its captor tied a bit of red flannel or
ribbon ' round its neck and let it go.
The bit of red made the bird verv con
spicuous and it could be easily identi
fied. That bird, with others that could
not be easily distinguished, followed the
ship clear across the ocean. Rarely,
during the daytime at least, was it out
of sight, and if for an hour or two it was
lost to view while feeding on the reluse
cast overboard it soon reappeared, and
the last seen of it was within a few
miles of Sandy Hook, when it disap
peared, perhaps to follow some outward-
bound steamer back to Ireland. When
the fact is considered that the ship, day
and night, went at an average speed of
nearly twenty miles an hour the feat
performed by the daring traveler can be
better appreciated. When or how it
rested is inexplicable.

The "Royal"
Purest B
Whether any other
teyh p
"Royal," Tct the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent, greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows : ,
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth oyer
36 cents. . ;
If another baking powder is forced updn. you
by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingly lower price.
FUNERAL OF BLAINE
oa the 'Death
Frcs
President Harrison. '
LEGISLATIVE BODIES, ADJ00RI

TEMPORARY BURIAL. IX THAT CITT
V
No ' Crepe nor Anything- to Mar the
Serenity of the Household at the
Blaine Mansion.
Washington, Jan. 28. Special.
News is to the effect that nearly all
business is suspended in the various
state capitals, where assemblies bav
adjourned in memory of the dead states
man, James G. Blaine. Following the
death yesterday came the president, and
in quick succession members of the cab
inet, then one after another a constant
stream of the most prominent people in
official life called and left words of con
dolence. Returning from his visit to
the house of death, President Harrison
issued a proclamation to the people of
the United States announcing the death,
giving a brief resume of the public
career of the late illustrious statesman,
paying tribute to his devotion to public
interests, to his marked ability and his
exalted patriot ism.
Up to a late hour in the afternoon the
remains lay in the front room, south
west corner, third floor, where the pa
tient has been uninterruptedly confined
since the beginning of his fatal illness.
There is no crepe on the door, and no
indication, since the throng of callers
partially ceased, that there has been,
anything unusual to mar the serenity of
the household. President Harrison sent
for Senator Frye, of Maine, to consult
about Blaine's funeral, which he
thought should be public and at the
capitol.; Of course there has been no
opportunity to consult with the family,
but Senator Frye had no doubt, they
would interpose no objection to this
honor being paid to the memory of th
dead statesman. At 1 :30 p. m. it was
stated by friends of the family that the
funeral arrangements had been so far
determined upon that services would be
held Monday forenoon, and the remains
would be at least temporarily interred
in Washington city. - " :
The Illinois Ballot.
New York, Jan. 28. Special The
Tammany organization favors a change
of the election ballot in this state. The
kind of ballot favored is similar to the
blanket ballot now in use in Illinois.
Upon it the names of each party's can
didates are arranged in parallel col
umns, with the name of the party over
them. A circle in front of the name of
the party indicates when a mark is
placed in it that the intention of the
voter is to vote the straight ticket.
There is also a circle in front of the
name of each candidate, and these are
used when the voter votes a split ticket.
It is not now the intention to have an
emblem placed upon the ballots.
