The farmer has now gathered and garnered his crop, and is debating with himself and his friends as to the course he will pur sue. The question presents itself whether he will hold .back his pro duct and await .; the development of higher prices, or whether he can dis pose of his crop at once to a -greater advantage. We have the figures before us wbfeb. should bo sufficient to settle th question at once. For the first time, since 1881, the farmer is the master of the situation, if he enjy so wills. When the land is blessed with abundance, when home con sumption is supplied and the foreign market ifl satisfied, the farmer s sur plus is at the mercy .of the specula. tor; bat when the opposite condi tions are true, when the demand is not met with sufficient supply, the consumer must submit to the terms of the producer. This latter condi tion is the auspicious state in which the farmer finds himself to-day. If he' will hold his wneat at $1 at the station he will get his price, and by selling half as much as he did last year he will receive more money for his sales. Our wheat crop this year is short. The winter wheat is not much more than a half a crop, and the spring wheat is only two thirds of a crop. The following figures taken recently from the most thorough and reliable sources, explain the case most clearly: The government report for July, which does not include the damage to sjir'iDg wheat (it having taken place to a large extent since the re port was prepared) places the entire yield of the United States for 1885 at 35?,000,000 bushels. In 1884 the -government report planed the yield'at 512,000,000 with 40,000, 000 on hand from the crop of 18S3. Add these amounts together and we will learn the total amount of wheat that this country Las had during the last two years: From old cr p. at the beginning of the harvest of 1881 40,000,000 Total yield of 184 512,000,OuO Total yield ot lso (deducting notning lorBprmg wncat damage; 3&,(;uo,wu Hanlan outrowed Ross and Lee in Sbeepsbead bay, 7th.

One of Chicago's oldest citizens, a man of ninety and the first Alderman elected in that city, was arrested there a few days ago .on the charge of failing to account for money which he is said to have collected.

VOtiilLEii k en BallliBar, Bo C a tration that has the disposal of po litical patronage, or he baa exper ienced a sudden, very radical and complete change of opinion 01 the tnost important economic question " f the day. It is significant, though . not conclusive of wrong, that Mr. Jlandairs opinions should so remark- 4bly coincide with those ef the par tly lu power. It looks very much ' 'dike a case of propitiating the pow ie'ra that be "that thrift may follow iawniog." Party allesiance de mands no such sacrifice of opinion. Jf Mr. .Randall, or any; other Dem ocrat, conscientiously believes that a high protective tariff is conducive to the best interests of the Ameri can, people, it ia hit imperative and bound t-ii duty tQ use every honora ble effyrt and influence to secure auch a tariff, no matter what bis party may beliave to the contrary. Party success should not be placed before public good. Partisanship should not run counter to patriot- isa. But this audden zeal for the harmony of the democracy on the part of Mr. IUndall is somewhat atartling. Only a few months ago ho waa the head and front of a num ber of democrats who rendered use less tha Democratic majority in the t ijiHousek of Representatives. There was no yielding of opinions then to secure the success and harmony of the democracy. If ever concessions were needed it was then, but Mr. Randall waa as immovable as a aountaia: it was not a Democratic aaminisiration. jir. tfandail is ambitious, aspires to political pre iermen,. The general election .howea that tha tide of popular fa vor was running towards the dera--ocraey. It behooves the ambitious politician to trim his sails to catch the popular brevze. Mr. Blaine .was running on the highest kind of protectionist platform. lie was beaten. His defeat was a warning , . o the shrewd Pennsylvanian who waa cheek by jowl with the man irom Maine on the question of tar iff. Bat Mr. Randall cannot just ly claim that the.election of Cleve land proved thai a majority of the people iavored tariff reform, and that therefore it is his duty to aid in bringing it bout. Tariff reform was ail the isue upon which the Democrats fought the campaign .' - and Mr. ' Randall has not htj that excuse upon which to base hiM change of tic tics. It must in jefearity be ascribed kiaaply to a For homp consumption. 1S81. .300,000,000 Foreed, 13S4 S0,O00,0(K Kxpi Tted 132,000,000 ror nome consumption, isaa 3!j,oou,uju For need, 1M5 60,000,000 Total 832,000,000 Total amount of wheat (or 18S4 and 1)5 909.000,000 Consumption, seed and export 832,000,000 For export an ! to carry over, 1SS5 77,000,000 What does this la3t result mean? It shows the number of bushels which we have for export. Last year, according to the figures furn ished above, 132,000,000 bushels were exported and we had 40,000,- 000 bushels more to carry in stock for the next year, making a total of 172,000,000 bushels remaining after home consumption and seed had been deducted. This year we have only 77,000,000 bushels, little more than one-third cf last year s quantity, and altogether, without having any surplus, we can only have for export about one-half the quantity actually sent to foreign countries last year. But will the foreign trade require as much this year as in 1834, may be asked. Statistics and general reports show that no country in the world has a full average crop, while many coun tries complain of an actual scarcity. The extraordinarily low prices ob tained for wheat last year has com pelled large producers in both France and England to use their lands for more profitable purposes. The product is diminished in both of those countries not alone by the reduced acreage employed, but ser ious blijhti and unusual drought have afflicted the crops, according to authentic reports, to an extent ieffro'tn thirty to forty iter cent. Reports, as telegraphed from Russia, show a shortage of nearly 100,000,000 bushels. What then will become of oar paltry 77,000, 000 bushels which will be left for export? Why, the foreign demand . ! this year will not fall short of 250,- 000,000 bushels, if re.iable reports can be taken lor aught. Of course the buyers and specu lators will bring up the tact that 40,000,000 bushels were left over last year as a surplus. They will bring this in as a surface argument I to catch the farmer unawares. But A dispatch from The Dalles, Sept. 5, says: "Joseph Linden, a rancher livng near Goldendale, W.

Linden is under arrest. At a meeting in Munster, Prussia, Dr. Windhorst, the Prussian Catholic leader, said the pope still ruled the world..

Kirk, a well-known and respected citizen f Brownsville, was arrested by a deputy sheriff from Unrvallis, , on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of an Indian wctuan at Yaquina last Sunday.

One of the most horrible tragedies in the history of the Willamette v alley occurred .in. the Mohawk Valley, near Eugene, last Sunday night. The circumstances in th case were about as follows, as nearly as can be ascertained from facts and circumstances. About two year ago a Mrs. Evans was divorced from her husband. Shortly afterwards David Boyss sought her hand in marriage. She consented; but meet ing D. W. Church, from California in the meantime, she went back on Boggs,'and married Church. Boggs was jealous and the two years which have elapsed only added to the tire ii hi bosom. About two weeks J ago he and church bad a quarrel, ! bitter and unrelenting. Last Sun : day night Boggs went to Church's bouse, ani rapped heavily on the house with the butt of his rifle Church came out, when Boggs stepped between him and the door and shot him through the back, killing him probably instantly. Then Boggs went into the house and assaulted Mrs. Church, probably with bis gun, driving her out doors, m her night apparel, several rods from the house, where he assaulted her with a large stone. Their bodies were found on Monday. Mrs. Church still being alive, though not expected to live. Boggs' shanty was visited and broken open when his body was found hanging from a beam, dead as a mummy, appearance indicating that be bad gone directly to that place from the scene of tne murder. .
