In the U.S. senate neither majority i

minority will not allow It. The ooun
try is tiretl of listening to excuses based
on the "courtesy of the senate" and
immemorial custom. Under the pres
ent rules uo bill out pas that is np
PoshhI by a determined minority. Tlie
tariff laws canuot U nltered, no pen.
itn legislation can Ins had, and no no- j
tionof any kind ean ho jierformed if;
the minority objects. The senate has j
heretofore lieen classed as a law-making
bodv, but if it cannot make laws to
govern itself there is little hope of it
making laws to govern the country.
The trouble with the senate Is that it
has gotteu to be a battle ground for p.
litieal supremacy, where the rights and
demands of the people are ignored and
the good of party alone is kept in sight.
The repeal of the Sherman bill is not a
political question, and republican and
democrat would unite to adopt a set ot
rules by which the majority could gov
ern were it not that these rules would
prevent filibustering on matters that
are political. The republicans being in
the minority, d not like to tie them
selves to the doctrine tliat the majority
rules, and the democrats, fearing the
time when they will be in the minor
ity, also hold aloof. In the meanwhile
the senate is convincing the people of
iU uselessness and sowing the seeds
that will be harvested in a political
revolution. The country is tired, and
the senate will find that if it will not
shoot it must give up the gun.
A BIT OF THE FUTURE.
We are pleased to note that thou
sands of young orchard trees arc being
planted here this fall. In the near fu
ture our fruit shipments will increase
-very rapidly as the young orchards now
planted come into bearing, and the iu
erease in yield will continue steadily
until the whole valley is, what it shoui
be, an orchard. While our soil is of
nearly all varieties, most of it is suited
for orchard lands and will eventually
be utilized for that purpose.

HATTf
that the market for winter apples can
not be supplied. The upple is the fruit
for this section, and it cannot be grown
too numerously, for the demand is al
ways greater than the supply. Of sum
mer apples this is not true, perhaps, if
we except tho Gravensteiu and a few
choice varieties, but of the good keepers
it is undoubtedly correct.
SOME PR USES.
An enthusiastic fruit writer of En
gene lets his vivid fancy turn from the
contemplation of the beauties of rural
life to the hard, cold world of figures,
and carried on from one simple prob
lem to another he reaches the conclu
sion that an acre of prunes, when the
trees are in bearing, will yield 50,000 an
cre along in the autumn of each year.
X.et us apply a small smattering of
mathematics to the gentleman's results,
and so convey to the average mind that
dos not realize how large a sum 0,000
is, some idea by comparison. In one
acre are 100 rods, and to make the
grand total each rod would have to
yield $41.25. An average town lot is
0x100 feet, containing, iu round num
bers, 18 rods; this set to prunes at Eu
gene would yield in money $742.50,
and in prunes, estimating back to mar
ket price, eleven tons and a half. It is
really wonderful that the events de
ecribed in Lamb's "Dissertation on
Boast Pig" are not re-enacted and that
the torch is not applied to town prop
erty. Again, with ten miles square
Around our Southern Oregon town
planted with prunes, the annual yield
would be $384,000,000, and as there is
probably ten times that amount of
good prune land near Fugene, the an
nual product, discarding the odd $840,
000,000 for loss by worms in tlie or
chards and enthusiasts, the income
would be a small matter of three bil
lions of dollars. Seriously, Eugene is
the center of a fine fruit country, and
needs not the wild calculations of such
jnen as S. A. Clarke or the vivid writer
commented upon to advertise her.
That which
our peopie need lirst and foremost is an
honest, uutluctuutiug measure of val
ues. If gold is the Uet money iu the
world, then the United Slates wants
gold. We must have a permanent
standard of debt settlement, a perma
nent and unfluctuating measue of val
ues and medium of exchange."
