The peroontiife of io&anity existing among

It ii laid that every telegraph pole in the

Sir Blaine will doubtless find It hard

TI1K (iUVKIINOlCS SPEECH,
Harrison dislikes a cheap coat, but he
has no aversion to a cheap railroad trip.
The journey across the country which he
Is now taking will cost the Pennsylvania
railroad company $iSj,ooo, but it wont
cost him a cent.
"When the democrats went out of power
the government had a surplus of $100,
000,000. After two ears of republican
rule the administration organ Is only able
to announce that "Uncle Sam will worry
through" by raking together his small
change and securing an extension on ma
turing obligations. - The contrast Is la-tructive.
Experiments with strawberries Indicate
that pollen bearing Is an exhauslve process,
and that large yields of fruit as a rule ma
be expected from those varieties which
produce pollen so sparingly that a small
proportion of other varieties producing
pollen abuntantly must be planted with
them In order to insure a full crop.
The legislature of Michigan has passed a
law providing that presidential electors shall
be elected by congressional districts, one for
each of the twelve districts and two by the
state at large. This will about evenly divide
the electors of that state between the democrats
and republican. The democrats wid probab
ly carry seven and the republicans five districts
and the two electors at large.
McHale, the able Minnesota legislator
who was the father of the anti-tights bill,
Is said to be the most utterly crushed man
in the United States, excepting, perhaps,
Mr Ingalls. The people of his own state,
of every sex and condition In life, have
apparently conspired to make life a burden
to him, and they have suceeded .to a re
markable degree. He does not dare to tie
his horse to a hitchlng-post but some
fellows come along and Incase the animal's
legs In old trousers. When the girls meet
him on the street they giggle. If he orders
a meal in a restaurant the chicken's legs
will be brought to him wrapped in paper.
And so It goes. His mail is believed to be
driving him into an early grave.
Not long ago Gen. Clarkson demonstra
ted that the republican party lacked an In
fluential and widely read press. He
proved that the democratic newaprpers
and the Independent with democratic ten
dencies faroutumbered the republican and
independent-republican press. He has
just told the republican parly leaders In
New England that they lack young men,
and that the sons of the founders of repub.
licanlsm there are cither acting with the
democratic party, or at least they are not
actively supporting the republican party.
This is both a warning and an indictment.
A party which lacks an influential press
and young, progressive men has a fatal
cause of dissolutionjind is threatened with
quick destruction.
No home-grown wool being sold abroad,
and the imports being too small to dominate

foreign price or to the duty. Orrgonian

Now that the supreme court has decided the
wagon-road appropriations to be unconstitu
tional, the question arise: What will become
of that 5 per cent fund arising from the sale
of public lands? Oregon City Enttrfrise,
Section 2, Article 8, ofjthe constitution of ihe
state provides that the 5 percent fund shall be
a part of the irreducible school fund ol the
state if congress shall consent to it. Let us
ask the consent of congress. The people of
the whole state would then receive the benefit
cf it, and not those of one or two localities.

Governor Pennoyer'e speech at Salem
welcoming the president and party was
model of genuine courtesy and unaffected
hospitable greeting. All that he said came
freely as the chief executive officer of the
state, but It came spontaneously as well
from his personal good nature. We give
below an extract:
Mr President: On behalf of the people
of the state of Oregon,! do, as Its chlet ex
ecutive officer, extend tovou, the president
of the United States, a most cordial wel
come. The freedom of the whole state Is
yours. Upon this occasion all party cm
ferences are forgotten, and the citizens of
our state hail your presence here, as tm
thronged assemblage well attests, Willi
sincere greetings. And even nature itself
appears to be in full accord with the sen
timents of our people, for In valley and
upon mountain side spring has just now
hung Its leafy banners as if to bid you
welcome here. We were gratified when
we learned of vour Intended visit, and It
has afforded us unfeigned pleasure to hear
of the hearty demonstrations that have been
accorded ycu In all tne pontons 01 our
common country which you have visited
We sincerely regret that you could not
have prolonged your stav within our
borders in order to visit other portions of
theistate not embraced in your Itinerary, as
suring you that you would have received
in all localities, from the mountains to the
sea, the most hospitable greetings of our
yeomanry.
Mr rresiuent, tne people 01 mis com
monwealth, congratulate vou upon the
feeling of nation&l amitv everwhere mani
fested upon your journey, and it is their
earnest prayer that the spirit of concord
now happily existing among the people ot
the whole country may remain undisturbed
throughout the remainder of your admin
istration and for unnumbered, cycles yet to
come. I
A-ain, 1 assure you that Oegon extends
to you a generous, heartfelt welcome.
