For Washington and Oregon: Rain; warmer; gales on the coast. In accounting for the prevailing low price of wheat, the Chicago Herald says there are any number of causes, and advances tne proposition that a new level Is about to be established for wheat, beyond which it Is not likely to rise except by the boldest manlpula. tlun, and then only for brief periods. It '" la one of the peculiarities of the present condition, It says, that no boar move ment has been required to keep wheat down. It hus sunk lower and lower without any of the Influences traders employ to force down prices. "It Is con ceded by ill speculators, as well as by those whose interests are greater than margin profits or losses, "that wheat de clined during the panic through sympa thy with other stocks and commodities It would be unreasonable to expect it, to stand firm and alone In the general collapse that brought everythlngelst down. Rut the decline cannot be charged exclusively to the panic, nor Is Its con i4nued prostration after other stock ral lied explained by those who point to that a the cause of prices prevailing ' low." the admission Is made, too, that tho present low price of wheat Is the natural result of the prevailing finan cial depression, assisted by overproduc tion and the holding back of market able supplies by farmers. The whole story may be easily told In three words too much wheat and the statistics to prove It need not occupy much space. There Is more tulk of reconvening an International monetary conference, Jii or Romero, the Mexican minister to the United States, having stated that the secretary of the treasury of tho Mexl can government Informed him by a per sonal letter dated recently that accord ing to private advices the German gov ernment was leaning toward a policy ivgaidlng silver which would prove fav orable to that metal, and that It was almost sure that the International con ference would convene again with bet ter chance of favorable results. This Information may not be entirely accur ate. The statement assumes that the recent appointment of a currency com mission by the German government is an indication of action by that govern ment favorable to sliver by the Berlin authorities, but the appointment of the communion may be and In fact Is re garded by many a merely a diplomatic effort to appease the blmetalllsts and agrarians. It appears likely that before the end of the Wlman affulr Is reached some vtiy liiu-resiing matters will be made to written history. What th mitillo ili,.J not l!i-.v al.

The vote In that year certainly Justified such a conclu sion, but not any more so than the re sult of the recent elections show be yond the peradventure of a doubt that the people have changed their minds. In November, 1S92, forty-four stales gave Mr. Cleveland a plurality of 33fl,- 211. Since then six states have given republican majorities aggregating 370, 000. In judicial matters the latest deci sion stands. A court may reverse Itself or be reversed, but until one or the other happens its decision Is law. But after being reversed no court seeks to enforce its first decision. If the demo crats have as much respect for the will of the people as they profess they would give heed to Us latest expres sions. RANDOM SHOTS. Mr. Bland Is now a fac simile of his name.

That Wood Being Used to a Consider- able JCxJent In the East. Among tho noteworthy features of re cent lumber trade development In the east Is the rapidly Increasing demand for maple flooring. Improvement in the method of manufacture has kept pace with the growth in demand for product; or perhaps It Is more exact to'say that the recognition of maple flooring has been forced on the attention of consum ers by the enterprise of manufacturers in turning out a iierfected product and urging It on public attention. A few years ago all the maple flooring used was worked out on orders by a few planing mills. The hardwood dealers carried maple strips In their yards, and had them dressed and matched when they happened to receive an order for flooring. Now great manufactories have been established for the sole purpose of producing maple flooring. Exact, strong and swift machinery has been Invented to work out the stuff. The boring ma chine has rendered nailing easy, and now comes the end matching Invention. Maple flooring has come to be regarded as the thing Indispensable in most pub lie buildings, and la used largely In pri vate dwelllngn. Such an extent has the demand reached that the larger dealers are obliged to make contracts for mill ions of feet far in advance of require ment, the same as Is done with pine, or any other wood of extensive sale and consumption In the building trades and manufacturing. The supply, however, is far from in exhaustible, but eastern men can lind consolation in the fact that the Pacific Coast forests will supply the best fir In the world for many generations to come, and the fame of Clatsop county will yet be heralded to the world as the greatest lumber-producing county In Oregon.
