The Prinevillo Review says that
out of seventeen applicants for teach
ers certificates, only one failed. It
points out that the percentage of
failures in all the other counties was
from (10 to 7f, and in Gilliam county

witli pride to the Crook county ap
plicants' success, it holdly states that
the result was reached by fraud, or
that the board of examiners were not
strict enough, which latter explana
tion is probably true. The examin
ations arc steadily being made more
dillicult for the avowed purpose of
luising the standard, and applicants
to teach will hereafter bo compelled
to pass yet more dillicult examinations.
Mr. Theodore Waters has been to
Mt. Hood, and four columns of
the Oresoninn are devoted to his
story of the tiip. lie goes out of
his way to give the Hood River ap
ples a slam, but is kind enough to
say they belonged to the Ren Davis
variety. The truth is, a Ren Davis
apple is one of the poorest, and for
tunately Hood River has few of them.
Tts reputation has been built up on
the golden king of all fruits, the
Yellow Newton. Had Waters Hipped
his lip over one of those, lie would
have had a taste of something ap
proaching more nearly the heavenly
than Mv. Waters will ever taste un
less he apologizes to Hood River.

It would undoubtedly be a great
.thing if the tariff laws of this country
could be arranged on some perma
nent basis. The eternal changing of
duties opens the gates for specula
tion, interferes with the revenues of
the government and the business of
the country. Not only does the
changing rates give opportunities for
speculators, but speculators arc for
ever scheming tor a chancre in du
ties that may enable thorn by fore
stalling the change to reai) a rich
harvest at the expense of the con
s timer.
Previous to the going into effect
of the Wilson tariff, the wool market
became stagnant. Whj ? Recause
speculators, and for that matter man
ufacturers, would not buy wool at
tariff prices, when in a short time
they could purchase in the cheapest
markets of the world. The result
was that for nearly a year before the
law went into effect the wool market
was dead, factories closed and prices
steadily declining, and all this to the
serioui loss of the wool-grower.
Now comes the other side of the
picture. With the inauguration of
McKinley tariff legislation will be
expected, and among the first arti
cles to be taken from the free list is
wool. It Is confidently expected
that a duty of eleven cents a pound
on foreign wools will bo imposed.
In consequence of this the specula
tors have already gone to work to
take from the wuol-grower all possi
ble benefits of the lav,-.
The dispatches yesterday announce
that a syndicate has been formed
that has purchased, or is to purchase,
300,000,000 pounds of Australian
wool, which will, of course, be im
ported free of dut . This immense
supply will be held until the duties
are again imposed, when it will be
put on the market, keeping the price
of American wools down, but selling
at a large increase over the cost
price. Ry this operation the gov
ernment is deprived of the revenue
of eleven cents a pound on ;")00,000,
000. or .").j,000,000, and the money
is taken from the people to go into
the pockets of these shaipers. After
this stock is used up, it is to their in
terest to again work a change in the
revenue, and have wool again on the
free list, so that in the couise of a
few years the operation may bo re- j Tickets 75c
pcated.
We have taken wool simply to il
lustrate the operation of the law. it
is the same with many other prod
ucts, the speculators fattening on
every change. 'If some system of
moderate tariff, framed to produce
the revenues necessary for conduct
ing the government, could bo adopt
ed and then let alone, it would prove
of inestimable benefit. It would
stop speculation, would alllow the
business men to conduct their busi
nesses on a known and unlluctuating
basis, and it would not permit the '
robbery of the people by shrewd and
wealthy sharpers.

It may lir possible that the Jcgis
Htnro may yet meet. A strong in
lliienco is being brought to bear from
the leaders of the national party to
have the legislature meet and elect r.
senator. It is pointed out that this
is absolutely necessary to tho main
tenance of tho party's supremacy in
the senate. Then, again, tho neces
sities of tho state require the passing
of the regular appropriation bills. Jt
is claimed that tho keeping up of tho
state institutions causes tho expendi
ture of from $20,000 to $UO,000 a
month in Salem, mid that for this
reason a strong pressure is being
brought to bear on the members
from Marion county to assist in per-
