Thursday, May 4, 1899.
Only amusement has been
caused in Washington by the
cabled news that prominent Euro
pean editors were seriously dis
cussing the probability of our
abandoning the Philippines. These
men do not know the American
character even a little bit. Presi
dent McKinlay and his cabinet
have no more idea of abandoning
the Philippines than they have of
abandoning Hawaii or Porto Rico.
And, what is more to the point,
they are perfectly satisfied with
the progress that has been made
by General Otis towards getting
possession of tne Philippines.
They know that the origin of the
numerous stories about the insur
mountable difficulties before us in
the Philippines, which are being
published in this country and
Europe, as well as the telegrams
sent to the Philippines to create
dissatisfaction among the volun
teers, can be traced to politics,
very dirty politics, too; that they
are beiug spread by democrats and
othar anti-expansionists, with the
hope that a sentiment can be cre
ated among the voters that will be
injurious to the administration in
next year's campaign. No politi
cal party can make votes by be
littling the American flag and
power; hence the stories cause no
uneasiness to the administration.
It is an interesting coincidence,
made prominent by the announce
ment that Speaker Reed would re
tire from congress to practice law
in New York city, that seven of
the thirty-two speakers the house
has had Reed, Carlisle, Randall,
Blaine, Calfax, Stevenson, and
Maoon served three terms each in
that exalted position. It is noted
also in this connection that only
one speaker, James K. Polk, ever
became president. So far as the
states are coucerned, the speaker
ship honors have been very un
equally divided. Only fourteen
states have had speakers, and
three of those, Kentucky, Virginia
and Massachusetts, have each fur
nished four, while Pennsylvania
and Indiana have each had three.
The only speaker who seived long
er than three terms was Henry
Clay, who had a fraction more
than five terms to his credit. Only
four speakers have been from the
west and three of them were from
a single state, Indiana. The talk
about the probable successor to
Mr. Reed is as yet largely specu
lative. No party ever had a larger
array of capable men available
than the republicans of the next
house will have, and while there
may be good natured rivalry be
tween individuals as well as sec
tions, every republican will have
the satisfaction of knowing that a
good speaker is bound to be chos
en. While it is understood that
Representatives Grosvenor, of
Ohio; Hopkins, and possibly Can
non, of Illinois; Henderson, of
Iowa; Dalzell, of Pennsylvania;
Mercer, of Nebraska; Moody, of
Massachusetts, and Sherman and
Payne, of New York, will be can
didates. The only avowed candl
date who has been to Washington
sinoe the announcement of Mr.
Reed's retirement is Mr. Payne, of
New York, who succeeded the late
Representative Dingley as chair
man of the ways and means com.
mittee and floor loader of the re.
publicans.
OrrgoB Fruit.
Washington, April 25 From time to
time there are articles published in East
ern papers tailing about California fruit,
and the etate evidently gets a great deal
of advertising nut of it. It ie rather
surprising that we never hear anything
of Oregon fruit, although it it well
known that some of the best fruit in the
country is grown in that state. An Ore
gon man was telling me the reason for
this some time ago, which is this: "Thai
the Oregon fruit raiseia sold moat of
their products to California men, wbicb
the Galiforniana sent out as fruit pro-
duoed in that state. While this adds to
the fame of California as a great fruit
producing state, and perhaps in tbia way
Oregon finds a good market, yet it ia not
altogether an advantage, beoanse mauv
people avoid California fruits, as the
diameter of moat of the fruits from that
state reoeived in the East ia Dot as good
as that grown here and in the aouthern
states. Toil is not the oaae, however,
with packed and dried fruite, wb ioh are
purchased at the stores. But we never
hear of Oregon prunes or other Oregon
nits, which are put up and shipped to
tiiXLiUJ. while it ia well-known mat
Oregou prune are superior to any other
kiud grown in the United Btatta. 60
much is said about California fruit thai
people show surprise when they are in
formed that Oregon is also a great linil
state. Home methods ought to be de.
vised by wbioh Oregon oonlj gel CMlil
for its prodQv't iotbie line.

North Yakima, Wash., April 26 -The
prosperity of farmers in tbe Yakima
valley is shown by the auditor's reoords
for the past six months. Daring that
time 110 releases of mortgage on real
property have been filed, nearly all of

tiun to tbis, agents of mortgage oom
paniea say that many of tbe farmers
have made payments of baok interesl
and portions of the prinoipal on Iheir
obligations where the time has been
extended for tbis purpose. Following
the flnanoial panio many mortgages were
foreclosed, but farmers who were oanght
in the general orasb are now buvioa
their old homes baok in several in
stances. A glanoe over the auditor's
fee book shows bow the number of deeds
filed has iooreased during tbe paal two
years. Last November, after the returns
from tbe bountiful harvest oame in, there
were more deeds to real estate filed tbaa
during any month for years.

General Harrison Gray Otis left for Lob

why We should keep tbe Philipinee, after
oiting a number of reasons often ad

"Became tbe Filipino leaders them

plete retirement of America from tbe

made tbe propoaterous proposition,
through a preposterous spokesman,
that we keep a powerful navy in tbe

of tbe state board of horticulture, tbe
