THE GOIIDO!! GLOBL FRIDAY. AUGUST 6, 1S97. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY. OREOON. With a wheat crop of 676 million hualv tola In sight in the United States and an unuenally light crop predicted in all the other great grain producing countries of the world the prospects of the American farmer are bright. The recent issneof "Bradotreet's," which is usually very conservative in its views as to the busl nesa future, calls attention to the fact that the stock of wheat in hand at pres ent is unusually light, being only 76 roil' lion bushels, while nearly all the great grain prou doing countries of the world have unusually light crops this year, Recent reports, it says, from Bassia Germany, France and Hungary point to decreased wheat harvest, and that Indi wit) hardly supply her home demand with like reports from Australia and Ar gentine and adds: "This brings the United States to the front as a prom' inent wheat exporter under similar con ditions to those which existed in 1870 ever the revival succeding the great pan ic after five or sis years of retrenchment and economy." The same publication calls attention to the fact that during the month of June there was an advance in cotton, cotton seed oil, tobacco, bacon lard, rice, corn, oats, barley, peas, milk, wheat and other farm products. A young school ma'am at recent ex amination gave the following definition oiman: "Man that is born ol woman is of few days and full of microbes. Most tnen are born. I never beard of but one that wasn't, and he was made out of mad just for a sample. He was split half way up and has since learned to walk on the forked end and chew tobac co. Man's life Ha . fall of disappoint ments. He goes forth in the morning like a lion and leaves the wood for his wife to chop, and in the evening he tarteth home and the sidewalk raisetb up and smitheth him. He has the grip on road working days and walks 36 miles to a circus. He will tell you just what to do in case you have the smallpox or yellow fever, and then send ten miles for a doctor when he gets the stomachache, Tell a man he is greasy and dirty and he gets on the prod, but say he is slick and fall of grit and it pleases him. Man days and dollars are numbered and bis system is filled with gall." . The Loudon Globe says that the Japs can easily whip the United States. Probably the Globe speaks from a stand point of malice. Those who have been "licked" are nsuallv inclined to encour age another to do the fighting thereafter, There were people who said the United States wonld be "licked" in 1773 and 1812, but they proved to be mistaken.

TfmM-HmtntainaHP- It is really too bad that aocb a bright light as tbe editor of the Fossil Journal Dossesses in his brain shonld be hid away in tbe mountains of the southern part oi trim county. And it was an nnfortunate thine for the neat Amen can people that tbe "editor" did not give thera tbe benefit of bis "brilliant" . opinions prior to the cenvenins of the Chicago convention a year ago, so that - the democracy might have selected some other standard bearer than the gifted orator of tbe Platte: for this learned recent subject of Queen Victoria has dis covered that Mr. Bryan is a most or dinary individual mentally and as an orator has dozens of superiors in tbe state of Oregon. Tbe criticisms which tbe fossil editor made of the speech are prejudiced and partisan from start to finish, still the Oregoman quotes tfaem in full as com ing from an "independent and entirely nonpartisan paper," when it it a well known fact to all who have read the Fossil Journal for tbe past five years that it is and has been one of the most narrow-minded and radical partisan pa pers published in the Inland Empire its editor is and has been ever since he landed on American soil (which ia not so many months ago) a pronounced re publican, and has ever taken bis ideas from tbe paper that now quotes him as an independent. Roeetrarg Review : The Oregonian re prints an article on Mr. Bryan from tbe Fossil Journal, published somewhere ii the bench grass country and going week ly to probably 100 subscribers, which characterizes as an "independent, clear ly non-partisan pauer." The article In question gives a good idea of what the Oregonian considers fairness, consisting of a column of unjust and unfair abuse of Mr. Bryan. As a sample of tbe Journal's "infln nee? in "supporting" McKinley, tbe usual republican majority of 200 in Gil liana county was reduced at the Novetn ber election to 70. But as the "honor end Integrity and very life of the nation were at stake," I he Journal's conceited Asa bad to do some pretty hard work "save tbe aation." BablJ it cto County Warrants at Face.

His many old friends and customers realite that no business man will give away something for nothing. What he loses on the "baits" he will more than doubly make up on the other goods he sells his customers. Look out for snares. One of our greatest statesmen 40 years ago truthfully said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
