Our tariff re formers are moving In the wrong di rection, i Opinions differ regarding the value of what have come to be known as religi ous revivals. Some believe that after the excitement of such special meetings J haa passed people become more Indiffer ent to religious Influences than ever be fore. Again, some hold that when such Interest Is at a high pitch men and women are led to make vows which they are totally unable to keep, and many of whom soon return to their for mer way of life. Notwithstanding these objections, which are held by many good people, revivals continue, and there Is a very great preponderance of opin ion that religion Is . greatly strength ened by them. It is a fact which is fully brought out by the records that religious awakenings are apt to follow periods of great financial depression. It appears that' when men have seen their worldly possessions melting away, and have even felt the pinching of hun ger and want, they have turned to a more careful consideration of the means of salvation as they are pointed out in holy writ. As the senate of the United States Is composed, the Income tax Is probably In that body Uie strongest feature of the Wilson bill. The populists are there, and the silver propaganders flour ish also, and the southern senators are nearly solid, and Senator Palmer Is an Income taxer. There Is another feature the vice president of the United States Is In favor of any arbitrary rulings In behalf of the Wilson bill. The proba- hlllty Is the Wilson bill will become the Wilson law. ' , Mr. Childs will be succeeded in the Ledger by his namesake, the son of Mr. Drexel, his partner, George William Childs Drexel, who was educated for the position, and the publisher of the paper for several months. He Is a young gentleman In whom Mr. Childs took most affectionate Interest. It was de cided when he was born that he was to inherit the Ledger, and there was pro vision In the will of Mr. Drexel that In case of the death of Mr. Childs, his Interest in the paper Bhould be pur- cahsed by the Drexel estate. OREGON ITEMS. The Salem louring mill was paying 39 cents for wheat last week. On Feb ruary 9, 1893, the price was 60 cents. The ladles of Pendleton enclosed a cheuuo for 3152 to the relief society of that city, this being the net proceeds of their charity ball. s A Walla Walla wool grower sent 29 1-2 tons of wool to the Boston mar ket, and when he received his return the wool netted him 3 1-4 cents a pound. Last year wool was 12 to 14 cents. Things mut be looking up for the Ore gon Pacific, as Receiver Clark has Just paid the employees their January wages In full. Wages In full has been a rarity for the employees of this road for some time past. mm like 'SWIFTS 81'HCIFIf! fa inn. . ....... l.t,u..l i. .1 "J uwiiivi- rtl! , .... ,..... ,.

The democracy have caused, by their threatening. policy of tariff legislation, the decline In customs that Is displayed In the treasury of the nation. The very loud and low demagogue tolls tho coun try we are still living under republican legislation, but If we are, eleven months after the second Inauguration of C ro ver Cleveland, whose fault Is It? In New York there was an Increase of rev enue from customs In the first three months of 1893, but In December the de cllne was, compared with 1892, $5,645,- 908. Importers are waiting' and consum ers are not consuming at the old rate. The silver repeal success has had no material Influence, except to prevent the rush home of our securities held In Eu rope. It was after the repeal that the customs fell off most rapidly, Never before In the history of the country has the condition of the fann ers been so bad as at present. So low haa the price of wheat fallen that much farming! Is entirely without profit. This Is partly due to the fact that the rail roads and their cheap transportation have brought within reach vast wheat reglona, Then the land has been plowed by machinery, the wheat has been sown and reaped and threshed by machinery. so as to reduce the demand for labor; that Is, cost of production Is down, and the qnaailty Increased at the same time. Our Industries ore not sulilclently di versified. We should have mure con sumers for our farm products; and the T.y to get them Is to have mure Manu factoriesmore skilled labor In shops.

He -was one of the first pioneers of that part of the country, having settled In Oregon In the year of 1847. Times have changed In the far west, Last Sunday night some white men held UP and robbed four Indians, who were returning from Pendleton to the reservation near that city. Evidently the Indians had been held up before they left the city, as the highwaymen got little for their trouble. They are shipping Oregon apples to Tennessee, two carloads having gone from Ashland, and the prices were so satisfactory that tho shippers are geti ting ready to have more follow. For the first tlmo In years apples are more ex pensive than oranges In the upper Mis sissippi valley. A great many Portland speculator? have contracted a new disease, called the "Tlckeroskls." It has been brought on by going long on wheat and watch ing the ticker for higher prices. They had It bad yesterday when the advices from Chicago showed May wheat down to 68 7-8, the lowest point ever touched In that market. Seventeen tramps were sheltered over nlghb last Thursday In the Eugene City Joll. It Is a good thing for Astoria th' walking on the water Is a lost accom- plluhment or Jailor Warren might have his hands full accommodating these disciples of Weary Waggles and Dusty Charley while on their trip from Port land to San Francisco. The construction of the soldiers' home building la In progress at Roseburg. the walls being up to the second floor. It Is still expected tho building will be ready for dedication at the time of thr O. A. R. encampment next May. Tlu commander or superintendent of the home Is paid $50 a month during the construction of the building, after which his salary will bo $1,000 a year. A smooth Individual, who represented himself to be an agent of the Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, has succeeded In writing up a number of applications for farmers In Umatilla county and taking their notes In pay ment. This was two months ago, and as they received no policies they wrote to the general office at Seattle, and re celved word that he was a "fraud. Now they are worrying about their notes, and why shouldn't Uw, when they are negotiable. Tho Astorlan has determined to bring the life-work of this wonderful Idol of the people closer to the minds of Its readers, to put them In possession of the Incidents of his career, his nmbi ttons, his sacrifices, his honesty and his sterling manhood.
