"0or will count tlic prohibition votes in Pennsylvania" taid Mr. Wananiaker in a recent speech. The fellow who counted the other votes had the most work. In the final ollbrt that is now being made to complete the railroad subsidy, let every man siiow his colors, and be judged for what he t. Wo will have more to say concerning this hereafter. A rniM has been organized in Pott land for the purpose of wiling farmers all the goods and machinery they may need at wholesale prices. The farmer pays for u membership. Nearly ever' farmer in the country is invest ing in it. Wi: are informed by the recorder 41i.it tlm f.ifl tmlfilirrtilfin-u lu lirmtir vim. . . ,, ... ., , idlv dinunishcI and it will not exceed $'.)()(). at the iiresent time. This is moving in the right direction, and the I city warrants are certainly worth more than is being paid for them. In a year from now, by judicious management in tlin li.irl nf nnr i-ilv iiMiimhIm tlir warrants should be worth one hundred cents to the dollar. Tin: attention of our business men is called to tlic letter of "Halidin" in this "issue, wherein the Cornucopia people are represented as very desirous of having telephonic communication with this city. We agree with our correspondent that a telephone lino between tho two places would pay from the start. Tho cost of putting it up would not bo groat, whore are the en terprising men that will take the mat ter in hand? Tub Sugar Trust Manipulators have again raised tho price of sugar. This makes an advance in about two years of forty per cent. The profits of the sugar trust for the first five mouths of 188!) have been over $800,000, yet they still raise the price and demand more plunder. Hut the operations of this and similar other trusts were sanc tioned and endorsed by the result of the election last fall; so we don,t know us anybody ought to complain. Tin: railroad committees at Elgin and Suinmervillo are striving hard to raise the remainder of tho subsidy asked by Mr. Hunt. A meeting of tho citizens to take final action in the matter has been called to take place at Elgin next Saturday at 2 o'clock, and at Sumrnerville next Tuesday, the Kith, at 2 o'clock. The Meeting at Elgin will bo addressed by T. JI. Crawford and others from Union. It is incumbent on every man to come forward now and do something. Vai.i.. Wai.i.a lias organized an "Anti-Mossback club." Its object is to advance tho inteiets of the city, to eradicate the disease known as nioss backism, to give strictly non-partisan support to every progressiva man and mcasuio, and to organize tho progress ive element for more ellcctivo work, j A similar club should be established in every town in the country. Union ! needs one badly. The niossbacks ! must no. alonsr with the Canada this- I tie and other hindrances to tho (level- ! oprncnt of the country. DntiNo tho first six months of Glove laud's administration, with "reform of tho tarill" for the principal plank in his platform, wool advanced in price ; about nine cents per pound. Under Harrison'sroigii in three months wool lias declined in prico about tix cents per pound. And yet tho watchword of thu Jlopublican campaign was "pro tect tho woolen industry." There is a fog-horn logic in this statement that induces 0110 to believe that a largo and intelligent class of producers have been cajoled into selling their birth right for a very poorly flavored mess of pot (ago. It is a matter of considerable ques tion whether tho elevator system will meet with the approbation of the farm cm; it is more than likely tho over tuiiguiuo investors in thu btorage ware housed of tint new project will bo very much disaointcd in tho immediate outcomo of their venture. It is under stood they will try to induce farinors to deliver to tho elevators wheat in bulk doing away with sacks; but hero is where the first great mistako U made. The sack art? a groat convenience for farmers enabling them Co Hloro from the thresher piling tho sacks and haul ing them to tho nearest platform at loisure; the other method neooflsitatos granaries or bins on tho farm to first hold tho grain after threshing, whence it is later hauled to market.

The following wail from a J Portland paper explains the situation 4 about as it ib : "Though the Lion and tho Lamb, j that is Viilard and Smith, have lain down together in loving embrace;! though such an era of bliss is inaugu- j rated as has moved even Harvey Scott j to pioclaim peace with Viilard, we , cannot feel that we are yet "out of the woods;" that all is as serene as the 1 unruflled surface of the present situa- j tiou would indicate for, m tho first place, until tho Hunt system is re moved from tho arena our wounds will be of the gaping order thut indicates the speedy deatroyal of tho C.

It is a matter of necessity for tlic harmoni ous relations sketched out between the two gieat corporations, that the Hunt system is to be eliminated. Hut how 1 is that to be done?

The Hunt system stand in the way of the O. li. kfc N. cnriiing enough money to pay its I li.Ncd charges, and it is an essential pie requisite to the Lion arid Lamb policy which o many hereabout imag ino tmlvos tho problem for Portland's j benefit, that it be removed. Hunt j declines he won't sell out, ao what is to bo done about it? I Tho Union Pacific ha shown utter j incompetency to stand up against this . young David of the 'sago plains, who ! stalks with all-conquering strides over j Walla Walla and Umatilla counties, I and is now reaching for the (iramle j Hondo in Oregon, and tho Columbia county in W.
