Slit John McDonald, tlio Canadian premier, died tit his homo in Ottowa Saturday night, tifter un illness of sever al weeks. The council 1ms added another un necessary bill of expense to the city by having tho specifications for the system of water works published in pamphlet form, as it is a honefit to no ono except bidders. IlussKLi. IlAitiHSON is authority for tho statement that his father will not allow his name to go before tho repub lican convention unless tho leaders of tho parly demand it, in which case he will saenfico his personal prcdolictions and allow tho use of his name. When a lank farmer, accompanied hy two biting dogs, catches a boy up a pcacli tree, that boy's thoughts aro apt to turn to reform. Tlio republican boy up the political tree just now is thinking soriously about doing better in tho future. Texas Siftings. PkkHAI'8 never in tlio history of tho world has thcro boon as groat freedom in discussing roligious faiths and sys toms as now. Much of this is duo to increased liberty of thought and speech, but some of it is duo to modern lack of rovoronco and to tlio spirit of license. Thk Farmers' Allianco have chosen Tun Scout as thoir official organ in this city in which to oxprcss their viows, two columns ot moro having boon tendered them for that purpose. All matter intended for this depart ment should bo sent in as curly in tho week as possible. Tub Now York Jlorald has just put in a now press capable of printing DO,' 000 four or six pago papers per hour n speed faster than a man can think. It is a marvel of rapidity, does its work well and with absolute certainty. The Herald is to bo congratulated in hav ing the fastest press in the world. Union county should have an Agri cultural Society by all means, if for no othor reason than to givo tho wind bag a chaneo to soli a fow pools on a horso raco, run a "wheel of fortuno," or in soino way soft-soap a lot of the unsuspecting pooplo who are always to bo found at suoh places. Ho must havo something to do soon or ho will dio. His littlo sheet is not largo enough to hold tho amount of wind ho could turn looso in ono, wook, and ho is endeavoring to got tho allianco or somobody to put up some money t-o that ho will bo bettor proparod to spread himself. Thcro is ono ovidont fact, if ho can got anybody to furnish tho monoy in any undertaking, ho will furnish tho wind. It is his stock in trade, ami ho always has a plontiful supply on hand. Thk wind bag is using ovory means to havo tho allianco "firo" Swinohart from tho order, but at tho same time has boon trying hard himself to join. Ho says: "Will tho ordor lire him? It must, or olso it must submit to gross imposition, and it cannot afford to go boforo tho public in tho character of a groat reformatory ordor unless it can ahow tho world that it can purify its own ranks." Mao would no doubt have "purified" or "paralyzed" tho ranks had ho been given u show, but we tiro pleased to say the alliance is on very good footing, and is composed of many of tho best men of the county tho farmers and laborors and thoy have no use for such wind bags and chronic ollloo-sookors, who aro fishing for rovenuo only. If tho alliance was to bo dictated to by such Kihomurs it would amount to nothing. Tho alli anco litis plenty of good work to bo nccomplUhud and it will no doubt he Hccomplltihed if thoy stick to thuir principles and givo all those old chron ic olHqo-Miokoni niul worn out journal imliU(r)--who havo n paper that is about to tlio mid are in uoaroh of sumo now nieaiu hy wliiali it milt ho kept ttljvoa buck scul.

I Tho question of European crops of -vhcat is now having considerable in fluence in our market, and so far as can bo gathered, tho influence which will predominate in that market for some titlio to come, will certainly bo tho inilucnco of foreign markets and foreign crops, p;frtieularly European crops. The outside crops, such as tlio Argontino Jlepublic, Australia and India, havo already been gathered and wo know practically how much wheat and coin these countries will havo available for export. So fur as tho first named country is concerned, tho crop is rather larger than we were led to believe on tho ieports of extreme damage done by tho drouth and other destructive elements. India has a very fine crop indeed, and no doubt will export moro wheat than she has over done before. Tho turn of tho situation now rests with Europe, ond in many eases tho crops over there aro in a very precarious condition. So far as tho crop is concerned in this country, tho present outlook may bo considered very satisfactory. Tho report issued weekly by the Govern ment Bureau has certainly had a de pressing influence on the market simply because they have been of a promising character, and indicates be yond question that wo sall, unless something antes which shall materi ally alter tho situation, havo tin ex cellent crop of cereals. Tho recent froBt cannot do much harm to wheat; it may to corn. Hut, no doubt, this has been overestimated, and there is always a disposition on tho part of tho farming community to complain about tho weather and their crops. Tho outlook at present is for a very satis factory business, in consequenco of tho satisfactory condition of tho crops. MITCH CUV, JilTTIii: WOOL. Ill Philadelphia tho owners of woolen mills havo organized a club committed to a defence of tho McKinloy bill. Tin's bill protects those mill owners from foreign competition. This pro tection enables them to lower the grado of their products and tit tho same timo to advance thoir prices. Tho Dry Goods Economist has had an expert examine some of tho "all wool" goods made by these same pro tectionists. Hore is the result: "This firm has sold in largo quanti ties this season ti worsted fabric weigh ing twonty-two to twenty-threo ounces, varying in prico from a piece dyed solid black at .fl.fiO to fancy weavers from .1!L.(!2 to those containing silk twist at $1.75. Tlio fabric is com posed of a worsted warp made from doluino wool, which entirely composes tho faco of tho cloth and constitutes 28 per cont of its weight. Tho filling makes tho balance of 72 per cent, and is entiroly cotton and shoddy, in tho proportion of 02i per cont cotton and 7 per cent shoddy. "Wo havo also boforo us a liner fab ric of tho sanio order in a fancy trous ering selling at $2.42.1, to all appear- aneo a solid worsted fabric, both faco and back. An examination, however, provos these appearai.oesarodecoptivo. Tho fabric is of a class known as a fill ing corp stripo, having a slight mix ture of silk twist between tho cords. Tho worsted is of threo-oighths and do- laino stock, but ovory altornato pick of filling is cotton, as is also tho warp be tween tho filling corp and the back warp. Thus wo liavo a ciotn which every ono but an export would call an all wool cloth, yet contains 21 per cont of cotton and 79 por cent of worsted." No wonder theso tnon want protec tion, but thoy aro no moro entitled to it than aro nuikors of counterfeit money. A DKMOmiATIO DAILY. At last tho long wished for Demo emtio daily has appeared, and is cer tainly far superior in all of its depart ments to any papor which has hitherto boon started in opposition to tho Ore- goiiian. It has the samo number of pages that tho Oregoniiiu has and is in many features fully equal to thaUirgan, inso much as this is tho only Democratic daily in Portland, that is owned by Democrats, it hhould receive tho sup port of all disoiplos of Jott'orson, Tho editorial management is in tho hands of Mr. A.

IW .Maoj ho liuut huvo But a Imni iiiiuuk fitiin (lie yolp he nut up )uti vu U The "available cash in tho Trcasnry, including tho national bank redemp tion fund," is stated this month at $53,700,000 by the secretary of the Federal Treasury. As tho national bank note redemption fund was $51, 200,000, tho available cash less this fund is therefore $500,000 less than nothing. This shows how the Treas ury books aro being kept. The na tional bank fund is chargeable against the available cash, but to cover tho deficit the total available cash is given "including tho national bank fund." Of course, it is possible to got at tho deficit by comparing tho cash on hand with its debt to the national bank fund, but tho statement does not give tho amount of that fund, and tho treasury book-keepers aro reasonably certain that not one man in every ten thou sand will either recollect the amount or have a memorandum of it. After the misappropriation of this fund wo havo a treasury juggle, in which "availablo cash" of only $53, 700,000 is mado to "include" a dissi pated fund of over $5-1,200,000. To make oven this showing tho fractional silycr in the treasury ($20,000,000) is included, and the $25,000,000 or up wards loaned out without interest to "tho pet banks" is counted as if it were actually in the treasury, though Mr. Harrison is afraid to call it in. Hut no matter how much facile book kcoping is done, tho May statement of tho condition of the treasury cannot be prevented from bristling with tho fact that with an increaso for this sin glo month of $021,000 in tho debt tho national bank fund has been wholly spent and there is an existing deficit of half a million.

Have you over noticed what a shock it is to oiio'b feelings whon you first find out that tho person whoso writ ings or conversation you haye boon admiring isn't worth a dollar? Did you hear Marion Carroll for tho defendants last wcok in tho case of Mitchell vs Lynch and McMaugh? In my opinion his cross examining, and also his speech boforo tho jury, was above tho avorago. I mot Mr. Georgo Ncalo, yesterday, coming out of tho mountains with a load of wood. Ho had ono of his toes in his vest pookot. In cutting a bind ing polo he had out his too off. He appearod moro concerned about tho ruin of his now boot than tho loss of his toe. All quiot now in Antelope, but thoro is a water war on in Pylo canyon. Joseph Yowell and W. H.

Eleoting them to oillces in the third party craze that struck I Union county rccontly has turned j thoir heads and thoy imagine thoy own all of Pylo canyon, its waters and the people in it.
