St. JACOBS OIL A friend of mine had a favorite black horse which he always visited in the loose bos every morning:, car rying a lump of sugar. One day a friend drove on a visit, and the guest's horso was placed in a neigh boring stall. The following morning, on Ids visit to the stable, my friend thoughtlessly gave the sugar to the stranger and turned round to caress his own hot?.' llo was met with the nio.it excited neighing, plunging and I kicking, aud. the horso triad to gut out of the loose box at him. , It was weeks before he dared to drive It, for if ho approached It, when liarnes9ed eyeu, it tried to kick and bite hint, At, length, by getting his wife to ac company him ajid to present the .sugar, iie "wheedled" himself Into the horse's gotxl graces. Truly, Jeal ou-y is a fearsome thing, and that of his horse was nearly us terrible as that of the "spurned lieauty," which led to tlie Trojan war. Mr. Watson, in his "Reasoning Power of Animals," mentions the .'ollowing. A gentleman was one evening in the full enjoyment of a pleasing dinner party at his own house. It so happened that a glass door oHned from the dining room upon the lawn. Pushing open this door a most extraordinary and (in bidden visitor entered the room starting up, the amazed company beheld a quadruped which had never entered that room before. The gen' tlenian advanced and recognized one of his favorite mares, which, un daunted by the blaze of light and the crowding round her of the astonished guests, showed by voice and manner some strange emotion. Her master went up to the animal, which trotted off, uttering a lieculiar cry. It was determined to ascertain the cause of the mare's strange conduct. She was followed to a field, and the motive of her unwonted behavior was quickly ascertained. II vr foal hail got entitn gletl in bog and briars, and the alarmed mother had adopted this ef fective mode of obtaining aid." A similar instance rarae under my own notice, but with a remarkable variation. A farmer and his family returning from church one Sunday afternoon noticed their horse, lreliaV' ing very strangely in the field. As soon as lie saw them he came up to the, fence and "whinnied" in piteous tones. The owner entered the Held and the horse at oneo trotted off. neighing in a different tone, and looking back to see whethe. the far mer was following. At last he stop- lied at a pond in a corner of the field, used for watering cattle, and there was a favorite cow imbedded In the mud. The law, which even the Pharisees observed, was fulfilled, and the horse stood by In interested si lence, in all reverence be it recalled that there Is a certain story called "TheOisid Samaritan." the medium of exchange will more and more felt. The Sherman law, before its repeal, wa putting Into the haadi of the people mouihty a large sum of circu lating SMtdiuoi iaas.reiulag rapidly tit per capita amount uf monvy or what was and Is passing currant at Its fao as money. This waa a good thing for the bust' ness of the country. It would have been going on until now, and with absolute safety, had Harrison, in stead of Cleveland, been elected pres ident in 18V2. But the turning over ot the country Into the hands of its commercial enemies paralyzed bual ness unsettled confidence, and made ntwesaary the repeal of the Sherman purchasing act. Under the circutn- stancc this bad to be done to save bout two-thirds, of all our dreulatlug tnexuum, -jjrer coin and the repre sentatives of silver coin, from going down from face value to less than half face value. But, with CGuQdence restored, this country can take Into circulation and maintain at par, and will actually need, silver coin enough to use up all the American product that will hot be taken to be melted up for the arts. Upon Its accession to power, two years from oext'March, this question will confront the republican party nd It will take hold of it Intelligent- ly and courageously, and solve It satisfactorily. Oregon Statesman PRICE' OF WHEAT. WHATJT MUSS. The meaning of the late election is so plain that no person of ordinary intelligence can fall to understand it, There are no local and superficial masons to account for a result that extends over the whole country with uniform effect. It clearly represent a general feeling, a sentiment due to conditions and tendencies exbtlng In all the states. That is to say, the same cause that operated to defeat Hill In New York operated to defeat Wilson in West Virginia, and to give advantages to the republicans every where. The people of all sections went to the polls with common Itn pulses and purposes; and the verdict that they rendered is to be Inter preted as a repudiation of the dem ocratic party because of its demon strated unfitness for the work of con ducting the affairs of the ' govern ment. When they voted two years ago to restore that party to power, they supposed that it would honestly strive to deserve their confidence, and that It was capable of dealing with Important questions in an in telligent and businesslike manner. In this expectation they were cruel ly and shamefully 1 disappointed. They have learned by experience that they made a monstrous mistake in exchanging republican for derao- oeratic rule. This, fact has-been brought home to them by the serious and widespread succession of misfor tunes; and it is impossible to make them believe that such a condition of things would have ensued if the elec tion of 1892 had resulted differently There is no escape from the con' elusion that the democratic party stands condemned by a large mi )orlty ef the voters as a failure. Its attempt to carry on the government has gone to show that It is Inherently and hopelessly incompetent. The absence of constructive ability is ap parent in all of lu proceeding. It has lieen so long pursuing a policy of negation, obstruction and demolition that it baa forfeited what power it may once have possessed to perform affirmative and profitable service. That is why the people have risen up 'n their impatience and indigna tion, and repudiated it In ouch a tre mendous and conclusive fashion Tbey. have discovered that a party which has spent over thirty years In trying to tear things down la not equal to the task of suddenly revers ing lt habits and practices, and be coming a force of practical usefulness, The party thus ascertained to be un worthy of respect and support, and declared against accordingly, is not likely to regain the favor that it has lost. Its defeat this year means that it will be (defeated again two yean hence, and henceforth kept out of power for an indefinite period. There Ls no such thing as a second trial in case of this kind. The people have spoken not simply for the present oc casion, but with reference to the future, also, and nobody now living can reasonably expect ever to see another national democratic victory. Globe-Democrat. Much printer's Ink and brain, grey matter, have been wasted in trying to convince, .the pubjlu that .the luw IdTyOB of, wheat. U due. to, the. over- pJvduvtloA of tbt.commodUyl and some writers have gone so .far as to congratulate the.pub.llu upon the fact (hat wheat Is so cheap, arguing that : heap wheat means cheap bread, and heap bread means locretised saving", and Jlncreased savings mean geueral prosperity and. a stimulus to Indus trial activity. We regret that we re unable to take as roseate a view of the situation as this, for low prices on cereals, however benetlcla) they may be to the consumer, are ruinous to our agricultural population, and we fall to see how Industrial activity U to be stimulated w.heu the farmers and planters and the classes depend ent on theai have no money with which to buy the products of the manufacturers. To an unbiased ob server it looks very much as If a large portion of the purchasing com munity upon whom industrial actlv tlvlty depends were In imminent danger of bankruptcy, owing to our suicidal financial policy, by which, in adopting a steadily increasing gold standard, we have turned plentiful harvests into what is rapidly ap proaching a natlonalklisaster. For.the week ending Octolier 0 the average price of English wheat was 18a 2d per quarter, and the very lowest price at which wheat can be profitably produced, taking the En glish wheat 'as' an example, In the gold standard countries, is 82s per quarter. It Is generally claimed that the .English wheat market controls the world's prices on that coinniod ity..

As sixm ni business picks up the! people will need more money in cir culation with which to do the busi ness of the country. They will need "change" silver dollars, half dollars, quarter dollars and dimes.

U 10 Cheap bread . is, undoubtedly, a great boon to the. working classes, but if it is the. result of ruin and almost total t extinction of the agri cultural classea, representing over 50 per cent of .our population, the boon may be obtained at too great a sacri fice and. must eventually affect all classes of our wago-earners. We are told that overproduction is the cause of the present low prices, but thus far no sufficiently strong ev idence has been produced to enable us to say that this assertion Is true. Com petition has undoubtedly depressed the price of wheat, other cereals and cotton, especially the competition of silver-using countries,, but foreign competition Is not necessarily an in terchangeable term for overproduc tion. The wheat product of the ten principal wheat-growing countries of the world for the past fifteen years, according to the Corn Trade, is as follows : which has produced a large tall In the prion of ail oorrnioditles through- out the gold staudard nations of the worm, thereby ;4,uabjin the. silver and paper cduntriM. to, so greatly undersell the producer :.y the' gold sbindardj countries. At a meeting of the British ami Colouial chamber of commerce, held in ixitidon in 1880, Sir Robert Fowler, a member of parliament, a banker aud ex-mayor of London, made the following assertion : "The effect of the depreciation of silver must Anally he the ruin of the wheat and cotton Industries of America and the development of India as the chief wheat and cotton exjmrter of the world." We believe that the farmers and plauters of. the United Stab will testify in favor of the correctness of the gentlemaa's prediction. The Buenos Ayres Standard makes I the signitlcaut assertion that in the Argentine Republic the owners of tarms on a large scale can, with the gotu premium at 250 per cent, deliver wnoat at the railway station In Santa Feat 13s per quarter and make a profit on the trausaetion. It is nuitc possible, therefore, that bottom has not yet been touched, and that this appreciation of gold will be accohi panied by even further calamity for our unnappy agriculturists. Now, u u less there Is some serious error In the flgurea we have quoted, we are certainly forced to the oon- elusion that the principal cause of tne tow prices of agricultural prod ucts is not overproduction, but an appreciation of our monetary stan dard, gold. Hence, we are forced to me conclusion that it is the upprecia OVER THE STATE. tion of the gold standard that it the cause of the present low prices, anu mat they can never be restored until gold be lowered in itsexchango- ame powers, by the remonetization of silver, and a consequential depre ciation of the standard of value more in- harmony with economic laws and the logic of exiKM-ience, Existing low prices are not due so much to the overproduction of our commodities as to the overproduc tion of ignoramuses who advocate so strenuously a financial policy so suicidal to tho interests of our own citizens and so beneficial to our for eign couiptUtors,Daily Sun.

We would rail the attention of our readers, howevr-, to .the. fact that during the last decade the population of the wheat-eating countries has enormously increased, and it seems to us that the theory of overproduc tion must be slightly weakened, if not entirely annihilated by the fol lowing tablo published in the leading agricultural Journal of the world ; WBB.T.

It will thus be seen that there has been a decrease per capita In the production of both wheat and rye, and under an application of the laws of supply and demand the price of these two commodities have risen, Instead of having fallen, as it has done quite 60 per cent. Obviously then we must ask of the advocate, of the single gold standard for some other cause and explanation of low prices than that of overpro duction, and the simplest explanation of our preseut anomolous condition to one even slightly acquainted with the elementary principles underlying political economy ami conversant with the present condition of the wheat-producing and wheat-consum ing countries of the world must be the demonetisation of silver and the ctipquaiitiaJ appreciation of gold, Not later than the early part of this month between fifty and sixty ladies aud gentlemen living in St. ixiuis were invited to visit the springs at St. Clair, Michigan, where they were highly entertained and had a trip on a steam yacht up the river. During this trip the captain ,..,11.. 1 ..... ...... a .. inmu attention oi me party to a smoke stack, 100 or more leet high saying: "See that smoke coining irom me chimney? That factory has been closed for eighteen years and last week was the first time sine. 1870 that it has been in operation." A couple of prominent St. Louis citizens, who are strong democrats. immediately jumped up and said "What can McKinley say to that? Here we have started a factory run ning that has been idle for eighteen years." As soon as they had finished their little Jubilee the captain quietly re marked : "Gentlemen, that factory is on the Canadian shore." It was then the turn of the rest of the mem hers of the party to laugh. On returning to the hotel when the proprietor was told the story he stated that he was buying all his milk and cream in Canada, liecause since the Gorman bill became law and milk and cream are entered fn of duty into the United States he can now buy these dairy products a cent cheaper than he could under the Mc Kinley law.

Ex-Sup't of Public Instruction McElroy has len elected to the chair of English literature in the State University at Eugene. Tho Albany Herald states that the plat was cre ated for Prof. McEiroy. it will now be In order fiir tho board of regents to give him a two years' leave of al sence that he may go to Europe to study the branches esiteeially belong ing to his chair. This is the u-tiid course pursued toward nwlv pointed professors of modern lan guages and literature. The O. R. & X. Company recent! v tried to buy a controlling Interest in the stock of The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation Company, but one stock holder, whose shares were necessary to make up tho majority, would not sell and place the small holders in the grasp of the railroad company. The division of Umatilla counly is agitating the legislators of that shire. The pronosition is to inr mr slice from the east end of the county. A new county is wanted by (he inhabitants of Mitchell, In eastern Oregon, from territory now belonging to Crook, Grant, Gilliam ami Wasco. The peculiar and irresistible charm of Mary Ellen ltse is one of tin problems over which Kansus editors love to philosophize. Tho Wichita Ettgle becomes finely analytic when it says: "Mrs. Lease's glory is In her " irridescent aigzag, her gyrated seln- tillization, rather than in her unbi furcated habiliments. It is the dazzlo of her unexpected skyward scoot and the dead thud of the subse quent, backward flop that at once fascinate and paralyze her devotee." FTER THE ALLOT. Kate Field, reviewing ex-Prest dent Harrison's great speech made In New York before tho election, says what she likes about it is his summing up of the democratic party. lor thirty years an irrestionsible party, it was given full power Jn 1892 and platform makers were called to the uoacvustomed duly of making laws. "The trouble now Is," said General Harrison, "that the democratic party is an Incoherent party." This is the reason why the majority of the people are weary of of it. There can be no peace without stability. There can be no stability where Ithere Is contradiction,' dissen sion and disunion. It Is not what has been done with the tariff but what may be done that frightens capital. When General Harrison likened democracy to a grasshopper because of all Insects it is the most without an objective point, he made forcible illustration to which he gave additional emphasis by adding that "he who would ride In a coach would do well to look to the team as well as the driver ; and it is absolute ly essential to the safety and comfort of the passengers that the driver and the horses should have the same ob jective point." Mr. Cleveland is driving a wild team. Colonel Tom Towlos, of Missouri, chief clerk of the house of representa tives, was traveling ,baek to Wash ington after the election in an Incon spicuous and unobtrusive way, when some one touched him on tho arm. He tuined and saw Senator Vest, his hat drawn down over his face, his shoulders elevated a little higher than usual, and the tawny mustache bristling over itightly compressed lips. The senator didn't speak. The two campaigners eyed each other a few moments, and then Colonel Towles asked : "Who are you, anyway?" "Blest if I know who I am," waa the reply. Well, said Towles, after another pause, "senator, 1 congratulate you." "Congratulate me?" retorted tho senator with a growl. "I'd like to know, why I am to be congratu lated." "Because," said Towles, "from what few returns I have seen I Hud that where you made speeches in Missouri we ran alout a thousand worse behind than where you didn't." The senator took a short turn down tho platform, and when bo came back he said : "There's too much truth In that to be amusing." Well," continued Towles, "su- pose wo go into tho car and talk it over." "No," said the senator positively, "we'll not talk it over. I'll not talk it over with anybtrdy. I'll not even talk to my wife about it. If I did I'm afraid I'd whip her. 1'he senator was on his way to Hot Springs for the puriMxe, as he expressed it, "of Itoiling some of the disgust out of himself." Russia has more than twice the area of the United States, is nearly twice as populous, and Its annual increase by births is 2,iMi,0r)0, compared with 00,000 in this country. The great race between com (met nations of white people is apparently to lai run between Russia and the United States, ami the prospect that it will continue to 1 one of amity and mu tual consideration ls excellent.
