Friday, August ii 1899.
T.nst; Editor Howard of the
Nugget has been lost in Bohemia,
at least we are ot that opinion, yet
it must be rather unpleasant this
laying out in the rain we have been
having.
France is in another turmoil.
The disgraceful proceedings during
the "Dreyfus" trial of 1894, are
being again repeated only in a more
dastardly fashion. The attempted
assassination ofM. Labori, Dreyfus'
counsel, is an act worthy of
savages, and unless France secures
and punishes the would be murderer
that country should not be recog
nized as a civilized nation. France
is nearer the precipice of destruc
tion than ever before, caused
no doubt by the utter injustice and
immorality of her own citizens:
Paris is today what Babylon was
in olden times and Rome at a later
period. The world today believes
Dreyfus innocent, his punishment,
persecution. It shows to the world
that the mighty. French army is
rotten to the core, and officered by
incapable marplots; the French
army has become a mob, and it re
mains to be seen if their courts are
a farce.
The way Uncle Sam is whipping
the Fillipinos reminds one of
Murphy who said: "I had a divil
of a fight with Casey." "Did you
do Mm," inquired his friend Hogan.
"Do 'im, is it? Why man, I
whipped him so dom bad they had
to carry me home on a shutter."
Corvallis Ttmes.
Worship of the army in France,
or of false ideal, identified with the
army, is at the bottom of the per
secution of Dreyfus "Vive
1'armee" is the shout upon which
this horrible injustice has so long
been pursued. The army is sup
posed to stand for France; hence
the unreasoning worship of the
army, on which this hideous wrong
is supported. This worship of the
army in France will some time, in
all probability, receive another rude
shock. Very probably France
will never be rational till the ob
ject of her worship shall be crushed
and pulverized, which is most
likely to happen when there shall
be another great war. Oregonian.
Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines afforded a market for
over $40,000,000 worth of Spanish
goods a year. The information
comes through the British consul
at Barcelona, who gives the state
ment in detail. About three
fourths of this amount was in
manufactured goods. To this
trade our country ought to succeed
as soon as conditions shall be
settled, and vastly increase it.
The Oregon Fire Relief Asso
ciation, of McMinnville, through
its representative, has so far re
fused to pay any of the $700 in
surance held by Dr. T. K. Chsp
man of Monroe, on his recently de
stroyed property. It is asserted by
the company that fraud is being
used in the case to get the insurance
money, and from all appearances it
is not likely that the matter will
end soon.

Robert B Scott, of Ohio, has
thrown that state into a fever of
excitement by offering to buy a
seat in congress, and lias put in a
bid at $10,000. He says that such
a course is honorable and that the
state will receive the funds that are
usually paid to ward heelers for the
same purpose. If this office is
sold to Mr. Scott he offers to give
the salary that would accrue, to
any four students the congressional
district may elect to be sent to
college. He agrees not to use one
cent of the salary for personal
matters. We rather favor this
method, where purchase is the way
to political honors . Like "Bossie
Bruder" in Mr. Hoyt's comedy.
1Min Tovoc Ctoor ' . I,1:..
that the only way to buy office is
to pay for it like a man.
Mind you we abhor the idea of
purchasing office, but, if such
honors are for sale to the highest
bidder, let the funds go into the
public treasury and not into the
pockets of the grafters, tricksters
and bummers that hang upon the
heels of every important political
election.
At Salem last fall thousands of
dollars were spent by men am
bitious to shine in the world of
politics at Washington. The state
of Oregon received not one cent of
the corruption fund more's the
pity. The filthy lucre found
lodgment, so we are reliably in
formed, in the spacious pockets of
those who could give Judas Is
carot pointers on venality.

FOREIGN
CROP
WORSE.
REPORTS
Every report regarding foreign
crop conditions is less favorable
than the one preceding. A few
weeks ago the reports collected and
given out by the French Millers'
Association indicated that the
French crop would be likely to
turn out as well as that of last year,
though it was admitted that this
depended upon the maintenance of
very favorable conditions and
some decrease from last year would
not be surprising. Alread3 com
mercial authorities are estimating
that the crop will be 20,000,000
bushels less than last year, and
some of the estimates of the de
crease yield are greater than this.
Reports from Russia are steadily
growing worse. As to wheat they
are particularly bad from the
provinces that supply the greater
part of the exports. The crops of
Roumania, Bulgaria, Italy and
Spain are now estimated to be in
the aggregate 70,000,000 bushels
or more behind those of last year.
The Indian wheat crop harvested
last March was 17,000,000 bushels
less than the crop harvested in
March, I898. The wheat crops of
Germany and Austria are good and
that of Hungary is a little better
than that of last year. The rye
crop of Germany is only fair, con
siderable short of being good, and
in many provinces of Russia tt is
very poor. Peasants who cannot
get rye will probably not get wheat
as a substitute, but very large
crops oi rye would be favorable to
the exportation of wheat from
Russia, and would probably have
some effect in reducing the German
demaud for wheat. New York
Journal ot commerce.
Every little while some one raises
a great scare about the gigantic
wheat fields which are to be opened
up by the Trans-Siberian railroad
which is now being built. The

The biggest cherry tree in the
Northwest is on the old homestead
of David Chambers, east of
Olympia. It was planted in 189
by Mr. Chamber?, who brought
the twig over from Oregon. It
spreads 60 feet across the top, and
the trunk measures eight and ten
inehes in circumference.
If Edwin Markham was shooting
at the Iowa farmer in his poem,
"The Man With the Hoe," he
missed his target. Any effort in
that direction should be addressed
to "The Man With the Riding
Plow, the Cultivator, the Self
binder, and the Steam Thresher."
Sioux City (Iowa) Journal.
Although the price of butter has
been hitrher this summer in the
East; than for several years past, it
is not high enough to bring about
an increase of dairying. In fact, in
the great Elgin dairying district
the farmers are not satisfied with
the prices they are obtaining for
milk. The Elgin Dairy Report
says the farmers are receiving $12
per ton for milk and are paying $13
per ton for bran. Milch cows and
feed are very high and those far
mers who have devoted their at
tention to raising cattle and hogs
are making more money than those
who are selling milk. Such being
the case the production of dairy
products is not likely to increase
until prices advance. This state
of affairs reduces very much the
chances of cutting down the price
of butter and cheese on the Pacific
coast by importing 'from the East.
