WAR PROBABILITIES.
The present shape of our relations
with China has reached a critical point,
and already a vision of war with that
power is, according to the latest advices,
a prospective possibility. As yet, how
ever, there is more sensation than fact
concerning the apprehension. If war is
declared China will be responsible for
its commencement, as no overt act is
likely to happen on the part of or in the
United States. Since the Geary act is
declared constitutional, no nation has
the right to question our own laws, or
to dissent to the extent of arbitrament
by the force of arms. The United States
has been most liberal in the matter of
permitting Chinese to settle among us
without becoming citizens. It has
finally become expedient to restrict fur
ther immigration under these condi
tions, and to that end an act has been
formulated requiring those already here
to register. Through incompetent ad
vice the Chinese paid no attention to
this simple requirement. This is the
whole story simplified, and it should
not cause any great amount of trouble.
For diplomatic reasons it may now be
wise to extend the time for registration,
bnt it does not follow that the govern
ment need recede from its purpose.
The apprehended trouble over indigni
ties to Americans in China might occur
in any case, as during the time when
our relations with China were most
friendly, it has been related that Ameri
can settlements were at times com
pelled to defend themselves with arms
from on ignorant rabble. The diffusion
of the late news throughout the empire
may have the effect of increasing the
rancor on the part of these irresponsible
mobs, but the Chinese government must
be held responsible for this, which is
the only cause for immediate alarm.
SO SAY WE ALL.
The Eugene Journal of recent date
says : There can be no doubt of the in
justice and bad policy of having all the
Slate institutions in one city. Such a
concentration of interests and the large
appropriations to carry on all the busi
ness of the state could not long fail to
build up a ring of combination that
would control the state. By scattering
the institutions over the state they are
among the people and no such combina
tion can arise, for one balances another
and each holds in check any undue ad
vantage sought by any one. The capi
tol or state house was located at Eugene
by a majority of the votes of the people
in 1860, but a person or persons resid
ing at Salem sent to Southern Oregon
and induced certain county clerks to fail
to send in the votes of their counties un
til after the time prescribed by law.
This nullified the election, and delayed
the location of the seat of government
four years, so that, at the election in
1864, the increase of population at Port
land and in the northern part of the
state gave it to Salem. This located the
capitol at Salem for 20 years, which has
long since expired, and is now subject to
removal. The clause in the constitu
tion, which was put there before the
capitol was located, declaring that all
the other institutions of the state should
be located at the state capital, was
wrong, and has been regarded as a dead
letter for 20 years. Under that clause,
in the early years of the state govern
ment, the penitentiary and the insane
asylum were moved from Portland to
Salem. This was a grave mistake, for
which that now obsolete clause in the
constitution was solely responsible. It
would have been much better to have
kept these institutions at Portland, es
pecially the penitentiary, which is mere
ly a huge workshop and ought to be at
a commercial and shipping point. With
the removal of these two institutions,
the location of any more of the public
institutions at Salem ceased, by com
mon consent, and all the institutions
since then have been located at Eugene,
Corvallis and other places. This policy
should be and will be continued, with
out any regard to a clause in the con
stitution that has been as dead for a
quarter of a century as the clause' pre
scribing that none but "free white male
citizens" could vote. And if anybody
insists that this clause shall be revived,
at this late day, and every public build
ing and all the appropriations to carry
on all the businessof a great state shall
be dumped in to Salem, it will not take
the people long to change the constitu
tion. This country and all south of here
will vote solid for it, and so will Eastern
Oregon and the northern end of the Wil
lamette valley. Surely Salem ought to
be satisfied, and we have no doubt the
majority of her citizens are, with the
capitol, the asylum and the penitentiary.
However, if they sanction or permit a
fight to be made against the location of
the remainder of the state institutions
outside of Salem, they will find that the
people of other less favored sections of
the state will be delighted to take up
the challenge, and when that time comes
Salem will be fortunate if she retains
what she now has or any part of it.
Crop-Weather Bulletin.
WESTERN OREGON.
Weather The rainfall for the week
has ranged from a trace to .IS of an
inch.
Crops The fall-sown wheat is knee
high of good color, well stooled and well
rooted; early spring sown grain is up.
Oats have an increased acreage. Rye is
heading out in most of the counties.
The peach crop has been somewhat in
jured and curl leaf is more pronounced
than usual. Strawberries are in full
bloom and in the southern counties they
are ripening. Cranberry culture is be
ing increased, those now out are doing
finely ; the same in Coos and Clatsop
counties. The hay crop promises .to be
very heavy ; early grasses are heading
out ; clover is unusually heavy. Pastures
are excellent and stock is improving.
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather Warm clear weather has
prevailed during the week; in some of
the interior counties non-injcrious frosts
occured on the 9th and 10th. Corre
spondents all agree that no more favor
ble weather could have prevailed.: no
rain is reported to have fallen except an
occasional sprinkle, the mean tempera
ture ranged from 48 to 56 degrees.
Crops The favorable weather has
caused vegetation to make rapid growth.
Peaches are somewhat injured, and will
not be a full crop. Other varieties of
fruit are fully up to the average. East
and south of the Blue mountains the
fruit buds are swelling, but few are in
bloom. Summer fallowing is about
done. Fall sown rye is heading in
Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow
counties. Fall wheat is from 4 to 10
inches high and spring grain is coming
up. Some wheat is jointing. Wire
worms continue to do damage in Sher
man county. Cutting of hay on Colum
bia bottom lands has commenced.
Sheep shearing is nearly done in the
Columbia river valley counties and an
extra good wool clip has been secured.
Wool is now being hauled to the ware
houses. Ditches are being prepared for
irrigation in Malheur and Harney coun
ties. Peach and cherry trees are in full
bloom in Lake county. Advancement
in the season has been made, but vege
tation and farm work is in Grant, Crook
and Klamath counties behind that ia
the other counties.
Rivers There has been a steady rise
in the Columbia and tributary rivers
during the past week. The river at
Portland is today 16.3, an higher point
than ever before at this date in May
when higher water followed in .Tune.
The rivers will have a steady continuous
rise for next six days, when for a few
days they may become stationary.
Indigestion and Immorality.
The possibility of a relation between
dyspepsia and crime is not a new con
ception. But the idea is one which is
altogether too little considered in most
of the work undertaken for the refor
mation of the criminal classes of our
gTeat cities. The good Calvin sent poor
Servetus to the stake while in a fit of
indigestion. Carlyle's misanthropy has
been very correctly traced to his dys
pepsia. Washington Irving tells of a
certain emir ("Lives of the Caliphs")
named Al Hejagi, who had suffered for
many years from abdominal pains due
to dyspepsia, and who is distinguished
as having been one of the most cruel
rulers the world has ever produced. He
left fifty thousand persons in prison
when he died, and during his life had
caused the death of one hundred and
twenty thousand persons, not counting
those who fell in battles cf his instiga
tion. Orwy". Health
