EUROPE IN AMERICA.
Europa is having an unpleasant ex
perience all around on thia continent.
Cabs is In open rebellion against Spain,
jlnd, from all appearances, the final
straggle for Independence l ipp'rCIlCt
ing., Spain has sent en. Mortinez
-Canrpos, one of her ablest commanders
"a captain general in Cnba, and -a large
force of regular troops to assist in the
subjugation of the island. Bnt the rev
olutionary party Is gaining strength rap
idly, and the approaching hot weather
is one of their strongest allies.
. The people of the United States gen
erally sympathize with the revolution
ists, and are sending expeditions on the
sly, with munitions of war. The presi
dent has proclaimed against this filibus
tering, but proclamations will do little
. to prevent it. The conditions were

ttt ot P88?es58n bf the lftSt of itB Amer
ican, hbVd'ings; England has recently
bnltdo&ed Nicaragua into paying an in
demnity of $75,000 because that small
government had the independence to
request a Mr.- Hatch, an English vice
Consul at Blue Fields, to mind his own
'business. Hatch is not an Englishman,
and he was especially active in opposing
the Nicaraguan government in its policy
Among the Mosquito Indians. The gov
eminent stood from : him more than
stronger governments would have done,
and because he was told to attend to
his own business, the English govern
ment threatened to bombard the chief
eea port of Nicaragua, or have $75,900
cash down for the "insult." Nicaragua
submitted, but - England . has ., lost its
trade, which . was quite considerable,
has aroused the indignation of . the en
tire nation, and whatever influence it
. bad is gone. Now Germany wants a
part of Venezuela for a naval station.
The United States cannot take part in
these controversies, bnt every American
citizen is gratified at the" conditions re
ferred to, and Jongs to see Cuba out
from under Spanish rule. The Monroe
doctrine is a good one, and England, as
well as other European nations, must
keep hands off; otherwise it will require
more man proclamations to fioia our
people at home.
Cleveland is the center of attraction
today tor the political eyes of the coun
try. The league convention is being at
tended by prominent men from differ
ent sections, who are taking an active
interest in the deliberations. The coin
age question jfill be the all-absorbing
one, and the policy seems to be that it
should be left for settlement to the
proper authoritythe national conven
tion. Any other procedure would be
folly. If the men of counsel are wise,
they will imitate the example of the
Oregon republicans, and leave alone that
which they can do no good by handling.

AS LEAVE AS NOT.
Now that the legislature of Oregon has
aeciarea mat county roads snail no
longer be subject to taxation, there is
little left to be done in the way of legis
lation to make the people of this state
entirely nappy. Hat there is one more
boon they can confer, and we believe the
next legislature will grant it. The de-
aired legislation "is not new, but will be
found embodied in an ordinance adopted
in 1639 by the. town of Dedham, Mass.
It is as follows : "And be it further
enacted, that hereafter no person what
soever shall make a garment for women,
or any other sex, with sleeves more than
half an ell wide in the widest part, and
so proportionate for larger or smaller
persons. And for present reformation
of immoderate great sleeves and some
other superfluities, which may easily be
redressed without much prejudice or
spoil of garments, it is ordered, etc."
- THE TYQII GRADE.
A correspondent in yesterday's issue
suggests that while other roads are be
ing boomed, the Tygh grade should not
be overlooked. There is no necessity of
calling attention to that road ; it is
built, and bnilt to stay, a splendid mon
ument to T. J. Driver, the builder, and
to the generosity of the people who con
tributed toward the expense of it. We
wish we had more just such roads.
Everyone who has traveled up the old
grade knows what a curse it was to the
country south of it, and can fully appre
ciate the new road. We have that; we
must urge the construction of more like

on will make a deep inroad upon the
numbers who marched and fought to
ave the nation. Nothing within the
gift of the people should be too good tor
these men who are now so rapidly pass
ing over to join the ranks of their com
rades who fell on the field of battle.
The Grand Army will have few more
anneal reunions on this earth.
Weather A few light sprinkles of
rain-fall, not enough to lay the dust, on
the 15th and 16th. The temperalure
has been coo! ; frosts have occurred -except
in the immediate Columbia river
valley. South of this valley, extending
eastward through eastern Idaho, frosts
and ice occurred the morning of the'
1-tth and 15th. The foot hills and the
Blue mountains had coating of snow
the morning of the 15th. - The" max
imun temperature for the week ranged
from 64 to 84 deg. in the Columbia, river
valley, and from 50 to edg to the
south; the nBa.Mged rpm 45, t
ftS in IBS Valley and from 28 to 48
a'eg. to the south. This temperature ef
feeldw lh6 freezing point bn H'rtuay ana
Saturday night is on of the lowest on
record for this season of the year. The
winds have been from the north to west,
and more brisk in fore e than is usual. .
Crops While the prospects for crops,
hay, cereal and fruit, were never more
promising in the western portion of the
state, the reverse conditions prevail to
the east of the Cascades. The reports
from the correspondents indicate a very
poor outlook. Fall-sown or summer-followed
wheat is promising, and even un
der the adverse condition of a dry cool
period it will give average yield. Spring-
sown grain may make hay in some sec
Hons, though it, like volunteer wheat,
will hardly be worth the cutting for hay ;
the present outlook is almost a failure of
spring and volunteer grain. ; A corres
pondent from Umatilla county writes :
"It is sure that this county will not
have one-half the number of bushels of
wheat that she produced last year."- A
correspondent from -.Morrow county
writes t "With a good rain within two
weeks we will have a fair yield of fall
sown summer-fallowed grain ; volunteer
and spring-eown are gone entirelv."
Similar reports came from Gilliam, Sher
man, Wasco and .Baker counties; in
Union and Wallowa counties the con
ditions are somewhat improved, though
in portions of the Grande Ronde vallev
thn prospects are not so encouraging as
they might be. The correspondent at
Cove, Union county, reports: "Upon
the whole, rather a discouraging out
look."
Plowing has been suspended, due to
the ground being so dry, and a large
amount of stubble ground remains on
plowed. The grasshoppers have done
and are yet doing damage to vegetation
in Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Was
co counties ; some farmers are ' cutting
their hay before they otherwise would
do so, so as to prevent its being eaten by
the grasshoppers. So that between the
dry weather and the grasshoppers some
farmers are having a hard time of it,
and as one writes : "It begins to look
like destitution." '
In the Columbia river valley, - in
Union and Wallowa counties, the truit
crop continues promising. Straw
berries are about over and cherries are
ripe. To the south of the Blue mount
ains fruit and berries are not so promis
ing ; tne frosts injured them, and the
yield will be light. The hay crop will
be good in some locations, but will be
poor in others, from Grant county a
correspondent writes :. . "Grain crops are
to backward and the land so dry that
unless we have copious rains within a
short time they will be a failure. The
hay meadows aro not going to turn off
anything like the normal crop.' Grass
hoppers. I fear, are going to clear the
country; they have already destroyed
gardens, and will most likely harvest
our second crop of alfalfa; they took my
second crop last year." .
The stock is being driven to the
mountains for their summer pasturage:
the range grass is only fair, not is good
as last year. . . .
The climatic conditions are such, at
present, that no general or copious rains
may be expected during the next week,
but warmer weather will most likely
prevail. Moderate temperature, with
good rains, would yet materially im
prove conditions throughout ' Eastern
Oregon. '
