All communication should be addressed to the PBE88 Atbena, Oregon As the failure of the wheat crop in foreign countries two years ago brought the price of the American product up, so now the prospect of good crops in foreign countries forces piices down in thisi country. A few such object lessons as these will soon teach the most casual ob server that the price of wheat in this country does not depend at all on the success or defeat of any cer tain political party. ATHENA, JULY 1, 1898. There was no delay in the re sponse to the call for volunteers, but much time has been required to provide equipments and place the various army divisions in proper condition for effective eery- it. Armies of invasion must not only be well and thoroughly equipped, but their base of sup plies must be provided and posi tively assured. This requires time and an enormous amount of work. Hence it is a question whether the three armies of invasion organized by the United States have not been prepared and started on their mis sion with all the celerity possible It is true the government labored under the disadvantage of almost a total lack of preparation for such a contingency, but all are equally tn blnme for this, and tho le&son in this regard, so dearly learned, may prove useful in the future. All in dications now point to a speedy opening of the campaign in Cuba and the Philippines, and within the coming week we may expect to hear of important results from these islands. No one doubts for n moment the brilliant success of our armies in all directions, yet there is a posibility of serious en gagements before the final down fall of Spanish power in Cuba. "Americans," says the Toronto Mail and Empire, "might not have shown such calm faith in Uncle Sam's fighting ability if Englishmen had not done so. In financial matters London is the ' center of tho world, and as the London market gave no tremor, New York soon mastered its first excitement. In this British sup poit of American securities, which insured tho United StateB against a panic, there was something more than faith that the United States would win in war. There was also desire that it should win. Expen sive though the war is, it is prob able that American citizens as' a whole are increasing their wealth as rapidly as the government is increasing its expenses. Such a thing is phenomenal." CELEBRATION AT Government tea inspectors will liave no necessity for being over- vigilant so long as the duties on tea are maintained. Importers aro not going to pay ten cents a pound into the coffers of the government for the privilege of bringing low- erode or trashy stuff into this country. It is very probable tnai the duty and the inspector will not both maintain their positions for long. During the recent political cam- .i paign it wns irequenuy affcueu that there was no such thing in the state as a silver republican, howover, it appears that there is one to be found whenever there is a federal appointment to be made. The adherents of John II. Mitchell have so far captured everything in sight in tho shape of federal ap pointments. Tho collection of a duty upon foreign goods sent into the Philip pine islands, which will begin as soon as General Merrit assumes command over there.will be known as "military contribution." For the present the Spanish system and rates will be followed, except !ni ihn AY nnrt. tax. which will be ..... - , abolished. Stock gambling in food products should bo considered a felony and punished as such. Giving fictitious values to breadstuffa that the rich may grow richer at the expense of tho wage-earners is a reprehensible practice and this government should prohibit it by law.

V n H. C. Adams, President. H. McArthnr, Vice-President. A Spanish newspaper says, "One Ted Roosevelt, formerly a New York policemen, has been made commander-in-chief of tho Amer ican army." That is worso than "the state of Chicago in which the citv of Illinois is situated." Tho agricultural department has abandoned its policy of reporting upon tobacco production in this country, because its estimates aro found to be manifestly short of actual production, as revealed by the amount of revenue tax paid into the treasury department. There is a lamentablo weakness in government estimates upon wheat and other agricultural productions, that is surprising, and for which there ought, with the resources available, to bo some corrective. Commercial estimates upon wheat production are almost invariably accepted by well informed traders in preierence to government re ports, and developments usually demonstrate the greator accuracy thus obtained. The trail to Alaska teems to be strewn with misfortune and dis aster. Hardly a vnok passes but some steamer up thcro or on her way there is wrecked, duo in part to the irresponsibility of tho per son in charge, and valuable prop erty and lives are lost. And if they do arrive safely at their port, tho argonauts suffer tho whole vocabulary of tortures from tho elements and their own shortsight edness. Verilv. tho wav of the gold-seeker is hard.
