News of the Wetl: From Our Regular Cor
respondent At the Capital.
AVahixtos. April 3, 1SH.
Editoii Ohroon Scorn-:
Mr. Blaine has by direction of the
president made public a statement of
the negotiations between liitn?elf and
the Italian minister, which led up to
the international sensation of this'week
the sudden recall of the Italian min
ister by bis government, because of
dissatisfaction on account of non-action
by our government, in regard to Us de
mands for the punishment of the New
Orleans' .Mafia lyncher.'-, and the pay
ment of a money indemnity to the
families of the Italian subjects who
wore lynched.
Mr. Blaine shows in a highly credit
able and dignified stylo that this gov
ernment had taken every proper and
reasonable flop to ascertain whether
any of the men lynched worn subjects
of Italy, and that the Italian govern
ment for reasons of its own had, before
waiting fr any definite infornurion
on that subject, recalled its minister in
a 'manner that was intended to be
highly discourteous, not to say actual
ly insulting.
There is but one sentiment here, and
that is against this senseless bit of
bluster on the part of the macoroni
eaters. Italy has u very strong navy
consisting of nome of the strongest ves
sels ailoat, but hot- treasury is practi
cally bankrupt and her credit isn't
good in the money markets of the
world, to say nothing of her ticklish
and "strained relations" between tho
great European powers, so it is evident
that war isn't tho object of her precipi
tate action.
What then U the object? Surely
King Humbert docs not beliovo that
ho can frighten us; I give him credit
for having better souse than to think
that possible. Those familiar with the
present condition of Italian affairs
have several reasons by which to ac
count for tho figurative slap in the face
that government has given Uncle Sam.
In the first place there has been n re
cent change in tho ministry over there
mhich amounts to about the same
thing as a change of administration
with us, and tho new ministry may
have been desirous of getting rid of
their minister to the United States, and
have taken this decidedly dramatic
way of doing it; another reason, and a
good one, is that in order to keop up
its hnnionso war armanent tho minis
try foresaw that an increase of taxa
tion was inevitable, and in order to
make its collection easier they got up
this war scare ; but according to pri
vate cable advices, there is another
and more potent reason tlio Mafia in
Italy is said to have compelled King
Humbert and his ministry to act as it
directed. This last may or may not bo
true, but, if true, would not be tho first
timo that this society of thieves and
murderers has dictated tlio policy of
tho Italian government.
There is no oxcitomont hero over the
situation, and it is probable that Mr.
Harrison is dovoting moro timo to ar
ranging tho details of his aoross tho
continent trip, upon which he has de
cided to start April 15, than upon what
Italy's next step will bo.
There is some dissatisfaction in tho
bureau of ongraving and printing be
cause Secretary Foster has declined to
act upon a request mado by tho nation
al organization of tho Knights of Lab
or, which prosonlod a grievaneo against
the American federation of labor mon
employed in tho bureau, and also char

The observer of the Oregon Weather
Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is
sued tho bulletin for the week ending
Saturday, April 11, 1891, the same be
ing based upon roports received from
1-10 correspondents, which is as follows :
WKATIIKI!.
The tomporature has risen slightly
during the week being almost normal.
Rain fell frequently, making an excess
for the week, ii. Western Oregon.
Showers fell in Eastern Oregon, with
snow in tho mountains. Cloudy and
partly cloudy weather with southerly
winds prevailed. Hail fell in sections
on tho (lh and 7th. When un shone
the rays were warm. Tho general
weather conditions are not as far ad
vanced as is usual at this time of the
year, flic temperature ranged from
10 to (5 degrees.
CJtOl'S.
Farm work is slowly progressing.
Seeding on uplands is being pushed
rapidly, on tho lowlands tho soil is too
wet for it to be worked. Tho acreage
of spring grain is being increased. Tho
early sown grain is above tho ground
and looks to bo unusually healthy,
though of slow growth. Fall wheat is
also of slow growth, but its roots and
stools are large, and it is generally re
ported to be looking unusually well.
Wheat prospects were never bettor at
this time of the year tlian at present;
the same can bo said of other grains,
fruits and crops of all kinds. Fruit is
slow in developing. In some counties
peach, almond, quince, apricot, plum,
cherry and early apple trees aro iu full
bloom and leaves showing, while in
others the buds aro only swelling or
just showing. Tho lateness of devel
opment of fruit buds almost certainly
precludes the possibility of damage or
injury by late frosts.
Garden making is late, tho soil being
generally too wet. In early gardens
onions, lettuce, radishes, etc., can bo
had for table uso. Spring seeding is
almost done in Umatilla county. Strong
winds during the week did some slight
damage to tho newly sown grain. In
Wallowa, Raker, Grant, Harney, Mal
heur, Lake and Klamath counties tho
frosts are frequent and snow foil in the
mountains. In Grant, Lake and
Klamath counties the mountains aro
full of snow. The creeks aro low, as lit
tle snow has yet melted. At Canyon
City some snow fell an tho dth.
Tho stock wintered well and tho loss
has been practically nothing; tho
range is becoming better. Some cattlo
aro yet fed but sheep generally got
sufficient feed on the range. Pelts and
hides aro scarce. Warmer weather
and more fcuiibhinoaro needed to causo
crops to have moro rapid growth.
UKAini.
Colds aro provident in somo coun
ties. Moro sickness has prevailed tho
past week than iu provious ones. Thero
aro fow deaths and no serious health
conditions exist.

WARY SENATOR EDMUNDS.
Ho Treato tdo Political Sltnatlon With
Utmost - Mildness.
The Washington Star contains a
long interview with Senator Kdmunds
on tho general political situation.
Spoaking of the Farmers' Alliance
movement, the senator said that some
people are trying to persuade tlio far
nieis that the laws have been made
which operate unjustly upon them and
that laws have not been made that
would furnish them with more rapid
and steady prosperity. Ho thinks they
are, to a largo degree, mistaken, and in
time will discover it. Indeed, be pre
sumes that the largest part of reflect
ing fanners understand that crops
cannot bo increased by legislation or
debts honestly paid by cheapening the
valuo of what is called "money."
Asked what di.nger to both great
parties wore in the situation, tho sena
tor said that if in the next presidential
election the Farmers' Alliance should
carry many states, without having a
majority of the electoral college, there
would be no election by tho people,
and the presont house of ivpiesenta
lives, being largely democratic, that
party would elect its candidate.
As to the danger of tho republican
party, it is that the Allianco may car
ry borne states that would otherwise go
republican, and, if thero should be no
election by the people, give the elec
tion to the democratic candidate
When asked if he thought silver
would bo an issue in the next cam
paign tho senator replied that ho did
not think it would bo an issue between
the republican and democratic parties,
for lie thought the democratic party
would hardly wish to make it an issue
to the extent of running any consiner
ablo risk of separating gold and silver
as the coin money of tho country,
and certainly the great, body of repub
licans would not.
"Up to tlio point of safety," ho said,
"the republican party will bo in favor
of using silver as money, as it always
has been."
What tlio Fanners' Alliance plat
form, if tho party should nominate a
presidential candidate, will bo ho could
not say.
"A third party movement," contin
ued Senator Edmunds, "undoubtadly
exists in tho Farmers' Alliance.. If
successful to the extent of getting tho
president and congress, it would doubt
less lead to tho enactment of the meas
ures they have indicated ; and whether
thoy aro good or bad for tho farmers
would soon bo known."
Tho senator does not think that
communism is at tho bottom of tho
fanners' movemont, and added that
tho percentage of communists in this
country ho believed to bo ver' small.
As capital is always anxiously watch
ing tho conditions and gnvornment of
a country, success of any government
which would render unsound legisla
tion probable would greatly disturb tho
finances of tho country, and that of
course would reach every branch of
labor and business.
TIIE PARK.
April 12, 1891.
Tho snow is nearly nil gone drifts
and all,
Very nico weather today, but it has
been cold and chilly.
Stock on tho hills is doing vory woll,
of which thero is a goodly number,
Youovght'to see tho ground turn
over this morning. Sovoral plows aro
running.
I hear that Airs. Dunham Wright is
getting along nicely since sho has quit
making a pin-cushion out of horaelf.
Mr. W. T. Martin has got a. now
plow. Ho says ho is going to plow
with tho boy. I pity tho old stubble.
Sam Vauordor has got his ranch
fenced, lacking one wire one-half milo.
Archio has been plowing on his home
stead. Tho latost addition to tho Park Is
n cousin of Mr. James Wimlom. lio
is going to drive tho logging team this
summer.
Tho meeting on Big creek has closed
adjourned to the fourth Lord'u-duy
in April, und then thoy will finish up
tho baptising.
Mr. It. M. South null broad to tho
weary traveler und if tlio lias not got
ououkIi of that commodity slio will fill
In with apples, of wliloh llioy havo a.
most ohm thouoMiid pound for n!e,
The khIiix hi are now due in the Park
but they do na t n to make their
appearance. The w.iter i ratln rilow
for them to get here.
Health i? good with the exception
that Grandma Van is not well. She is
subject to siek spells, having one last
Week, but is better now.
.btrad Shaw is left a widower. His
wife has gone to Iowa to e ln-r on,
he being sick, .hired is going to work
at the mill this slimmer.
Plowing has begun in earnest. T ,o
ground is iomo wetter than for two
years. The prospects for giod orops
are better than last spring.
Wallace Boyls bus traded for a two-year-old
Percberou horse, lit is a
good one. Wnllace lovoth a good
horse if lie can't get married.
What, has become of the squirrels?
1 fear there will not be a full orop of
them here on Big crook or on Powder
river. Too bad to lose the frisky post.
V. R. South and Mose Vandovauter
go to Li Grand to make final prouf on
their homestead the loth, and then
something is liable u drop or some
thing to happen.
They will start the mill in about a
week so hat the people can get some
lumber again. There is quite a de
mand for lumber now, but what it will
be when the mill starts I cannot, tell.
The young folks were down to Sun
day school Sunday and report having
a varied time. First Sunday school,
then singing. That is one thing Mr.
Campbell lias done; lie has caused tho
people of Big Creek to put in practice
their talents. That is very good.
School lias been run one week and
no one is heard to growl. Thoivs must
bo something different from last win
tor. Tlio teacher surely does not read
her Biblo all the timo like the last one.
She wants to learn the children some
thing so she can earn her money.
There was a lively runaway Satur
day morning. Win. Wisdom went to
haul somo hay from Jo. Van's and
tho wagon ran up againsttho colts
and scared them. Thoy started and
ran some distance but finally collided
with a log and camo to a halt without
doing any damage.
I have been where I could hear
some talk of late, and 1 find that if
tlicro was another election between
Union and La Grand for the county
Beat Union would lose. Thero seems
to be a great deal of complaint about
ouo tiling and another. One thing is
that Union does not keop supplies
onough to supply tlio mines that aro
in tho county. Thoy say if wo have to
go to Raker City for a part of our sup
plies or tilings wo havo to havo, wo will
go thero for all. So, Mr. Editor, you
see how it is. Tho people on Rig creek
say that if they want a sack of sugar
thoy havo to sond their order ahead, so
that it can bo sent for in order to havo
what thoy want when they come to
town. Now I think Union had better
knock somo of tho moss off its 'back
and keep a hotter supply on hands to
fill tho demands of every one. Thero
is going to be a groat rush into tho
Seven Devils mines this summer and
if there is a road made down Pine
creek Union would stand as good a
show as any town if it would work a
little head work aul not bo so afraid
thoy would lose a dollar or two. Now
thoro iB ono thing sure : Union will
have to do something or tho county
will bo divided ; and if so away goes
tho county seat suro. This is no talk
of a child, but tho puro and uudefilcd
truth,
Moikk.
