Mr.llalford whom Mr. Harrison has
selected at his private secretary, Is an En.
glishman. Can any now doubt that
the next administration will fee run In the
interest of the British?
A Cincinnati firm compelled its employ
ees to parade for Harrison, and to vote as
they paraded,and now it reduces their wages
from is to 30 per cent. These things teach

To keep onions cool is to prevent them
from sprouting. It is better Tor them to
freeze than to keep them too warm. Freez
ing does not injure them if they are not
disturbed and are allowed to thawjgradu
ally. The object should be to keep them
as near the freezing point as possible. If
they receive warmth enough to sprout
they will be injured.
L. T. Bavin, chairman of the republican
state central committee, and I". N. Shurt-

The taxable property of Marion county
ifor the year xSSS is ?i,oSo,S2i, less than it
was in 1S87. No sane man would, for a
moment, think that there has been any
shrinkage in the values of taxable property
in Marion county. This growing evil of
unequal taxation demands the most serious
attention of the earning legislature.
The OrcgoHian now opposes the remov
al of taxes from whisky and tobacco. It
has not dared to say this since a few days
after the adoption of the republican plat
form at Chicago. That document declared
that the party would repeal all internal
taxes before it would surrender any part of
the protective system ,and this accounts for
the enforced silence of that paper.
Speaking of the color line in politics,
Texas, with its democratic majority of
163,400, has elected five colored men to
the Legislature. What Northern republi
can state has elected even one ? It looks aus
though the Northern republicans were j
more than willing that the Southern dem
ocrats should furnish all the recognition
the .colored brother is to get.
If tht buttermaker would thoroughly
please his patrons and secure from them
the highest prices going, his butter must
not only be of good quality, but uniformly
good. It will not do to furnish a poor arti
cle one month out of the twelve, or even
one week out of the fifty-two. When butter
is so evenly superior that customers are
able to detect no appreciable variation in it
the maker should be getting a fine price.
The New York Tribune states that In
Mississippi eight years age there were
238,532 males 21 years of age and over, yet
at the last election the total vote was only
116,000. It then asks if anyone believes
that there was a free vote and an honest
count. In this connection it may possibly
be germane to state that the male popula
tion of Rhode Island 21 years of age and
over in 1885 was 85,727, and yet the yote at
the last election was only 40,783. From
these figures the unprejudiced observer
would be apt to declare that the pathway
to the polls was no more thorny in faraway
Mississippi than it is in near by Rhode Island.
The taxable property in Linn county as
returned by the assessor is one million dol
lars more than the taxable property of
Marion county as returned by the assessor
in that county. Every one conversant with
the two counties knows that the taxable
property of Marion county at par value
exceeds that of Linn at par value by at least
one million dollars. Here Is a grcyious
wrong and the coming legislature would do
well to expend all theiraggrcgated wisdom
is righting tills wrong. If no relief is
given, the people of Linn will feel it their
duty to Insist on their assessor making his
assessment low enough to correspond with
other counties. This is self-defence.
TAKE YOllll MEDICINE.
Harrison was elected President on the
6th of November ; on the 13th Caruth's
cotton mills, in Philadelphia, reduced the
wages of employes 10 per cent. Kerr's
cotton mills in the same city on the same
day started up with a reduction of 10 per
cent on the wage scale. Leak's Star mills
manufacturing 'lcrry towels and cloth, on
the same day cut wages 20 per cent. But
the unklndest cut of all was Hall's Safe and
Lock Co. of Cincinnati. This company
gave their men to understand that it would
be unhealthy for them if they didn't vote
for Harrison. A large majority cf them
obediently did so. On the Saturday fol
lowing the election the fillers were cut
down 30 per cent, and the wood workmen
15 per cent. November 17, the Atlantic
cotton mills cut their weavers 20 per cent,
and two of the largest currier firms in the
United States made a cut of $1 per week.
We can congratulate the worklngmen who
voted for Harrison and high taxes that they
or their brothers and sisters are reaping the
legitimate crop from the seed sown on Nov
Mh.
Parsnips, salsify and horseradish can re
main the rows where grown, as freezing
does not Injure them. If they are covered
with litter, however, it will prevent sudden
thawing around them in the spring. It is
too much warmth that does injury in win
ter to such crops rather than cold, A few
warm days in winter may be more detri
mental than beneficial.
