"The Statesman of the 4th inf
say: "When the David hou.se met at
the capltol last evt niinf, the leaden
of the populint itiile realizing tbat
they had been used by Jim. Siuion,
the Portland 'boe, and later set
adrift liy him, for no purpoHe
were ready and willing to make
some compromise with the member
of the Benson house to perfect an or.
ganiiiAtion and get to work. Advan
ces were made to one or two of the
Benson memlHTs, and a strong desire
expressed by them to bury the hat
chet, or turn it against Simon and
his corrupt gang. It is safe to say
that the populist members, If an ex
tra session should be called will aid
the republicans in effecting an organ
ization and passing remedial legisla
tion. Further than thit, some of
them have expressed Ihemwelves as
ready and willing to vote for John
II. Mitchell for United States senator
rather than have a senator selected
by Jo. Simon, to represent the state
in Washington. Simon has thrown
down and betrayed his populist allies
but he may be sure he will not have
the opportunity to do so a second
time. There is no doubt, figurative-
speaking, his scalp will yet hang on
a populist belt, and his betrayal of
his late allies will be avenged, and
that soon.
Mr. Smith, a correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle, writing to
his paper from Carson City last Sun
day, expressed the opinion that "if
the people who object so bitterly to
pugilism could see for themselves
the advantages of training for a bat
tle, they would reserve their criti
cism." Some idea of the particular
heneflta of these advantages, as well
as the refining and elevating effects ft
such spectacles, can perhaps be gained
from the following pen picture in the
Associated Press account : "Corbet t
was more unconscious from pain
than from the force of the blow. As
he law writhing and groveling upon
the floor, his face presented the most
ghastly appearance imaginable. No
man In his last death struggle could
have horrified his spectators more,
and his agonizing cries of pain could
be heard above the cheers of the
victor."
A' few of the state papers have
taken up with the idea that as there
has been no legislation and conse
quently no appropriation bill en
acted, that it would be desirable not
to pay to the state treasurer the
amounts due as state taxes from the
several counties. The argument is
used that the state treasurer will
have the use of that large sum ot
money for the next two years. This
is a foolish proposition and merits, an
immctlixte death. Who knows that
there will not Ik- a legislative session?
Who wants to pay double taxes the
coming year? We say collect taxes
as usual and place them where they
will lie taken care of and available!
It cannot be denied that the State
Agricultural College, asylum for the
insane, reform school, penitentiary,
blind school and other expenses are
necessary. It is a fact that these In
stitutiohs are managed economically
and a credit to the slate and must
be paid sometime. To refuse to pay
the state taxes would be a silly prn
eeedure. Gprvais Star.
Dangers af the firlp.
The greatest danger from La
Grippe is of its resulting in pneu
monia. If reasonable: rare is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thou
sands who have used this remedy
for lagrippe, we have yet to learn of
t single case having resulted In pneu
monia, which shows conclusvely
that this remedy is a certain preven
tive of that dread disease. It will
effect a permanent cure in less time

It Is hard for many people to un-
ceratsr.d tvfcy txo hava allovred for
eign countries to advance beyond us
to nuch an extent as to produce over
three-fourths of the sugar consumed
ytui!,iu iiiv United Slates when
our climate is so favorably adapted to
th growing of beets which contain
fromteoUo twenty per cent of augar
In the Juice."
Many people do not realize the
meaning of a sugar beet factory. It
means that lS5,5i5,9!)8.0) would be
kept at home instead of being sent to
foreign nations. The cost o! the raw
material alone is 1 13,313,337.00 and
the fuel about one-tenth as much;
this would give work to our idle men
who can scarcely live, and materially
assist the farmer.
Can Oregon stand in line with the
sugar producing states, and reap the
regards that are bound to follow the
Introduction of this Industry? We
would gain by these factories, the
building up of prosperous'communi
ties, furnishing better prices for
other home products, and encourag
ing our farmers to adopt scientific
methods of agriculture, which apply
lo other crops than beets. If the
soil and climate of Oregon is suitable
to produce rich sugar beets which
the Oregon agricultural experiment
station has proven then the Indus
try Is inviting, and why should our
farmers linger ho long in Inaugurat
ing so valuable an industry?
j The state of Oregon with a popula
tion of 3.10,000 consume 21,000,000
pounds of sngar r annum. Why
is It that we do not supply otirselvis
when It has been proven that beets
tun be grown so successfully?
What is a good sugar beet Is a
question that the majority of our
farmers cannot answer. Many think
the beet should be large, but this Is
untrue. It should;be small, weigh
ing from one to two pounds, with a
large, leafy top and lung, tapering
roots (about 14 Inches) without
branching rootlets, 'as they make
cleaning more difficult, Increase the
waste and tend to lift the beet out of
the ground and expose It to the sun,
making It useless. The leaves should
ue thick; those which lie flat are pre.
ferable, as they are protectors from
frost. '
The best soils for quality, while
there is little preference, Is a mild,
moist loam about twenty Inches
deep, then loam or marl from three
to six feet, and under this sand.
These soils are called natural soils.
They are easy to cultivate and give
the plant a good start. Soils which
are dry, light, etc., strong clay soils,
and beaverdam land are not suitable,
as the beet grown on these lands
grows too larger and contains too
much solid matter which is not
sugar. However, any gwxi sou mat
will grow wheat and has an arable
stratum of 12 to 15 Inches will grow
good beets.
In preparing land for planting, it
should be plowed in the fall;
then In the spring as soon
as . weather will permit, it
should be plowed again, this time
about twelve inchps deep. Then ten
days before wedlng plow to the
depth of six inches and work into a
fine and light condition; lo not pack
It down with a drag. Often it is
profitable to manure in the fall with
well-rotted compost. In ordinary
oils the rows should lie twenty inches
apart In rich less and In poor soil
more than that distance apart. The
seed should be planted from one
half to three-quarters of an inch
deep, and about twenty pounds of
seed to thsacre. Plant, if possible,
in April. Cultivation should be
very thorough, beginning as soon as
the plants show in the row. When
they have put out four leaves, thin
them out so as to have the plants
standing from four to five inches
apart' in the rows. The weeds
should be kept down and (he ground
well stirred.
A bulletin, which will be ready for
free distribution, Is being printed at
the agricultural experiment station.

! HOW THE BEARS ATE THE sqi ASII
PIES.
It appeared large, round and gol
den in the November twilight. 1
What! the moon!
Dear young eople, who was talk
inz about the moon? I referred to a
squash pie. Can't one tell a story in
one's own way?
It was in one sense a pio of a thous
andthat Is, for excellence. Numer
ically, It was one of six baked during
the afternoon ot the ' day liefore
Thanksgiving by Mrs. Samuel Par
uieuter, who lived in a township in
northern Maine, surrounded by pine
woods aud ty the society of Mr. Par
menter and the children. These
were Jack, who was twelve years old;
Benny and Bobby, the twins, who
were six years of age; and dear little
tworyeakultiLuetU Adeline Amelia.
a
Jack and Benny and Bobby and
Luly had watched their mother make
the noble squash pie and its fellows.
They had hindered her they called
it helping her while she made the
pastry. She had pared and sliced
and boiled the squash, and Jack
helped her sift it, aud Bobby stirred
in the milk while she beat the eggs,
and Benny suggested an extra spoou-
(nl of sugar to each pie, and Luly, in
her high chair by the table, looked
on, laughing with pleasure which
was perhaps the best help of all. By
twilight the pies were baked, aud set
away in the little pantry to cool.
When Mr. Parmenter came home
from the woods, with his axe over
his shoulder, everybody told him,
from Luly up to "mother," that the
pies looked remarkably good.
The kitchen was small and the fire
in the oven had beeu hoi; therefore
the little pantry which opened from
the kitchen needed a current cf fresh
air, and Mrs. Parmenter sent Benny
to raise the window, and keep it
open by sticking a nail into me
woodwork of its frame. When the
family went upstairs to their lel
rooms under the roof the window was
forgotten. However, It was unlikely
that any United States hank cashier
would come down all the way from
Canada for the purpose of making a
foreed loan of Mrs. rurmenter's pio;
and, on the other had, if no robbers
were to be expected, Deilher were any
guests to be looked for. This being a
story for thanksgiving Day, It seems
almost iucredible; but so It was.
Mr- Parmenter had no vagabond
brother; Mrs. Parmenter no rich un
cle in foreign parts; they never had
disowned a child or quarrelled w ith
a relative. Reconciliations and pa
thetic home-comings were impossi
ble; nobody was angry and all were
there, cherrfully awaiting the dawn
of thanksgiving Day.
The twins were soon asleep. Jack
lay aw ke, for the golden orb of the
November night-the moon I mean
this time, not the squash pie cast a
beam of light across his pillow.
"Hope I shan't be moonstruck,"
he thought to himself. Then lie
heard a noise out-of-doors on the turf,
Lsomething like the heavy steps of a
stout person walking with clumsy
rubber Iwots. Jack was out of bed
in a minute and at the little gable
window. Putting forth his head he
could see a large black figure that re
sembled a fat man in a fur coat,
peeping in at the window of the pan
try, which was directly beneath the
window where Jack was watching.
He looked beyond; a few yards away
from the house were tw t smaller
personages similar in shae to the
intruder at the pantry. This visitor
leaned in at the window, then took
out the best of those pies and dropped
it upon the ground, where It broke
in pieces. Now the smaller creatures
came running, and each ossessed
himself of a share of the pie. It was
a black bear wilh her two little tubs.
Bears in northern Maine are rather
good-natured neighbors. They have
a way, it Is true, of borrow ing ears of
corn and honey-comb and fruit, and
they are forgetful as to n paying ot
the loan; but every one has know n
that sort of a neighbor upon tw o feet
instead of four. These la ars rarely
attack any person unless provoked;
and who would think any better id a
bear whose his wlfo shot and hi
babies carried Into captivity w llhout
using his natural weapons of defense?
But Mrs. Bear ought to have aki d
leave of Mrs. Parmenter before bor
rowing those pies. So thought Jack;
and he hastened so awake his fattier,
who, having heard the storv, cam?
from bedroom with his gun, and fol
lowed by the boy went noislessly
down the stairs into the kitchen. By
this time the bear had divided two
pies between her cubs before helping
herself to any. She heard the fx
steps on the kitched floor and made
with one paw an odd signal to the
cubs; and the chubby little fellows
toddled and tumbled away as fat as
they were able. The mother did not
follow them Immediately. There
was a chance of danger, she knew;
but there was also a chance of more
pie. When she saw Mr. Parmenter
and hit son she began to think the
situation serious. She dropped upon
all-fours and moved off, with her
liimlH-ritig gait, a distance of about a
dozen psH't. Tht rti she paused.
stood up again upon her bind legs
aud thrust her paw which must
have been strongly flavored with
squash pie iufo her mouth and
sucked It vigorously. Then drop
ping both paws in a comical attitude
slie looked squarely in the face ol Mr.
Parmenter, as ifto say: "Here I 8m,
caught in the act of stealing pies for
my cubs. You are w itness, judge
siJ.j'iy rVwvlgtft'tjs, rstM
uating circumstances."
Mr. Parmenter raisin his gun, aim
ing at the la-ar. Then ho lowered If.
"Jack," said he, "I have a great
mind to let her go. You any she fed
tlioso pies to her cubs. I guest
mother would feel pretty sorry If she
hadcu't a piece of pie to the twins to
morrow. And it don't seem hardly
right,, when we are just about lo
thank Providence for mercies re
ceived, to kill a creature for taking a
bit of what has been provided. I
guess when the governor appointed
Thanksgiving Day for folks, there
was nothing said in the proclamation
about, it being fust day for bears.
Ja.'ky, I'm goiig to spare the old
creature."
Jack took a pic tin plateand all
and threw it out of the window to
ward the bear, w ho fell upon it Joy
fully. "JTtck, my son, are you crazy?"
"No; father; but .that pie was a
little burnt on one fide, and and the
old la-ar hadn't any. That make
three pies for the bears, and leaves
ihree pies for the Parmenters.'? By

On the 30th of last November the
American citizens then in Palestine,
met at the American cousulate and
adopted the following apeal to the
president of the United States for
protection to citizens of the United
Stab s w ho are either permanently or
temporarily living in the dominions
of Turkey. The scenes of disorder
are now somewhat removed from the
places then in danger, but the apeal
which, in clrculai form, has liecn
received from a friend iu Jerusalem
by Mrs. Elliott, a resident of Hills
boro, is full of information on the
Eastern question, and Is hero given,
though it little old:
At this moment, when this nation
is shaking with apprehension of civil
discord and war, and when wescarse
iy know wiist to look for on the
coming day, the situation of the U.
S. citizens, resident here, is made ex
tremely perilous by the untimely
order issued to our diplomatic oflkfrs
to withhold all government protec
tion fr mi those whom they may rea
sonably suspect of not having the
Animus revertondi I. e. tho Intention
of returning to the U. S.
Our government" must certainly
know that, independent of such an
order, the status of the U. S. citizens
in Turkey, although based upon the
rights, privileges and immunities
granted them by treaty, Is already
Xon slstl potest. We, therefore mot-t
earnestly protest against the applica
tion of this order to V. S. citizens res
ident iu Turkey, and moreover for
the following reasons:
1st. Because the rights granted
ns by treaty to resido here and ow n
real estate is not limited to any time,
nor is it in any wise proscribed; else
wcr such a provision altogether use
less anil superfluous, and because In
pursuance of this provision, many of
us have established ourselves here,
some as missionaries, some as philan
thropists; some are engaged in com
merce; whilst others have been rec.
ommended hither for climatic and
s.mitary reasons. But those whom
this order is calculated especially to
affect, are the multitude of poor
aged Hebrews wtio have come to
scnl their last days iu the land of
their foref ithers.
M. It cannot lie shown that (lie
loyalty of our fellow citizens to our
flag anil institutions have in any de
gree diminished by reason of their
absence from their nttive or a lopUs 1
country. On ttie contrary, they have
learned, by bitter experience, to
prize I". S. citinship as a most pre
cious privihslge and blessing; and we
make free to ssy, that their patrio
tism fiir exceeds that of many who
have never left its shores.
.n,d. Whilst residing in the Sultan's
dominions they enjoy the privilege
of thp extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the U. S. are subject to Its laws, aud
amenable to its tribunal alone. The
refusal of the government to grant
protection to tnose who have never
renounced their allegiance, or to, en
force treaty rights in tlu-ir behalf, is
branding them with tho mark of
Cain, so that all w h- meet them may
slay them.
It is equivalent to an act of expat
riation, a power never granll by the
Constitution of the U. S., nor by any
act of congress, to Is? exercised by any
officers over their fellow citirms.
Sme of us still Isxr th scars of In
iuiies rect i ved in the servn of our
couiitry,'and all of us are ready to
answer any call or demand that may
pn-iierly la made upon us in its de-
ense; and it is Imp-wsible to convince
us hy any number of orders, that
our government, which Is "of the
people'for the people, and' by the
Pe -ple," would withhold Its protec
tion from the poorest and weakest of
IU citizens.
Nothing is ao humiliating and
painful to the patriotic citizens as an
Insult offered to hlscouutry; and that
takes place whenever the right t of Its
citiiens are permitted with impunity,
to be trampled under foot, in viola-
Hon and ,lefl.rws n tn"'y .Ufw.;..
tlons. And nothing ia so aura to
bring a government, possessing all
the elements of greatnesa and
strength, Into universal contempt, as
a cowardly and slavish submission to
repeated and aggravated insults and
wrongs.
4th. Because Its promulgation at
this time of danger is most impolitic,
nay most cruel. It has already add.
ed fuel to the ever increasing hostility
manifested towards foreigners, and
more especially towards citlaena of
the U. S.
r.th. The protection which our
consuls have been able for some
years past to grant us, has been
more uomiual than real. Redress for
offences committed by natives against
U. S. citisens, sought, through our
cousulate, front the native courts, la
in most instances treated with dis
dain; and those referred to the au
thorities at Constantinople, are con
signed to some place, whence there la
no return. Consequently great
wrongs from which many of us, en
tirely innocent of any offeuee, are
suffering, wrongs which not only
affect our rights, but in some caaea
involve many thousands of dollars,
ledlain unredressed. Therefore, till
these wrongs are righted and our
claims enforced, many of us are com
pelled to remain, however earnestly
we may desire to return to our native
land. .
It is no more In the power of our
able and highly respected secretary
of state, by a mere stroke of his magic
(ten, to chango our circumstances,
than It is to enforce treaty obligation
by the same means.
We consider, therefore, that this
order was issued in contravention to
existing treaties; and that it ex
patriates loyal citizes; and that the
declarations tliereln, that the fact of
it person's owning real estate here la
to be taken as prima facia evidence of
an intention never to return to the
U. y., is an assumption warranted
neither by law uor reason; slrce some .
of us, who never expected nor de
sired to own one loot of land in this
country, were compelled to accept
land in lieu of our claims from banks
recently declared bankrupt; and will
have to retain possession of them un
til such time as we may be able to
dispose of them.
To sum up in a few words: The
I tws governing U. S. cltiteus domi
ciled in Turkey, and in semlclvlllzed
and barbarous countries, differ most
essentially from those which govern
our countrymen in Christian coun
tries. As has been stated, we are
here within the extraterritorial Juris
diction of the U. 8., and subject to its
outhority alone. Such Jurisdiction
over its citizens never was, and ia
not now exercised by the U. S. in
sny country In Europe.
Therefore, we contend that this
order is in contravention to law and
is not applicable to our countrymen
domiciled in Turkey, while the ex
isting treaty between the U. S. ami
the Sultan remains In force.
It is arbitrary, and contrary to law
in that it deprive innocent citizens
of their rights without trial, and be
cause it virtually abrogates the treaty
a power vestl only in the president
and senate of the United States.
All of which is ress tfulJy sub
mitted to the president of the United
States.
