In attempting to appoint a justice of the supreme court in place of Justice Blatchford, who vns appointed from New York, (he -.president mimed first Judge Horn iblower of that 6tate, whom it seciiis was distasteful to Senator Mill. The .piolection of the fetish whs invoked lund "senatorial courtesy" decided that the president could not appoint nNew York man to office without the consent .of the senators of that state. The pres ident then sent in the name of Peck ibum, alsoof New York; but Hill was Dot satisfied and the fetish whs agai n invoked to Peckham's undoing. The president then selected : a man .from .Xiouisiuna, Senator White! a devotee of senatorial courtesy, and he was prompt ly confirmed. This senatorial courtesy, .of which the public has hoardso much, is of an odd brand, as it Is sihipiy that .courtesy due from one senator to an other. What the country would like .toseeis an exhibition of that courtesy .due from one gentleman to .another; .that courtesy which every .citizen owes to the chief officer of the nation; that ..courtesy which the dignified devotees .of d d foolishness need to he' intro--ducsd to, the courtesy that is due to the people whose business they are sent to Washington to transact. Senator I Hill has succeeded in. preventing the appointment of a man fioui his state to ; the supreme bench, and lie has also hown the country how despotic and dangerous a power the senate is. He iias demonstrated that the- supreme i beuch of the Uuited States jiiay be left -vacant unless the. "president .chooses to :iillltifrom the United .States seriate. "The time when, senators will be elected nby a direct vote of the peo,ple is several years nearer than it was. a .week ago, ..thanks to Senator HiH of .New .York. .AN UNPOPULAR, SECRETARY. The horticulturists met at Spokaue last week and had what the newspapers .call an interesting meeting. .'e found ;at tha first glance we aaveaf the report of the business done' that S. A. Clarke .bad been elected secretary, wild there was no use iuvestiguting further.- The people of this county, at the solicita tion of Mr. Clarke, ;shipped.seveiitl car loads of plums to Chicago. . They brought, "by wholesale, about half a .cent a pound, and retailed at -0 cents a pound. The little difference of nine teen cents and a half on e.eh pound will require some explanation before Wasco county fruit growers will trust .any organization of which S. A. Clarke is an officer. We do .not Lelieve, nor do we mean , to convey the idea, that Mr. Clarke is dishonest, tut we think .be is a theorist, a dreamer of .dreams, a writer of misleaders for the Oregonictn, .in this case being literally the blind leading the blind.' Mr. Clarke dan de scribe beautifully apples that lie cannot .grow, utid he makes the mistake of applying his long list of scientific fer tilizers to bis crop of language ins'tead .of to his orchard. The Spokune con vention might have "gone. further and fared worse" in its selection of a secre tary, but it- would have ' to go a long journey indeed to do so. The storm which has just passed ex tended over the entire Pacific coast. .On the Sound the wind attained a ve locity of sixty miles an hour. In Past ,ern Oregon, Washington atuNevada, ithe snow fall was heavy, but none ex perienced the heavy winds prevailing .011 the Sound. In California the snow fall was exceptionally heavy, and in (the mountains the snow reigned su preme. . The Central PaeiJlc was com pletely blockaded. Chris Evan, the notorious California . toandit, is now in the penitentiary, and will be heard of no more. He returned ito Visalia to his house, where he was caugbt, but before surrendering knock ed all the glamor out of his career by beating, a woman almost to death. A proper ending of a brutal career a bright example of the heroic material of which such robbersare made. .Senatorial courtesy i on top, Sen ator Hill and Ihe state of New York on the bottom. For the lirst time since J80G, New York Is without' representa tion in the supreme court. Senator Jiill ought to feel proud of his fight, for, Jike the late John Derby, he "inserted bia nose in his opponent's mouth and beld bim firmly to punishment,' The patent on revolving fire-arms fx pi red Tuesday, and it is probable that the festive pistol may be, reduced n price until it is within the reach of every school-hoy. Thus by slow de grees do we meander on to the mil Jeiiium. ' . ' Hermann Is reported as being out of the .fight for JDolph's place. .He would Jika to lie senator, but evidently tbi.iks, the chances tod heavy against him. The next Senator from this state will be eitbpr Poiph or Pepnoyer. START'T CRSAMERYk Look at the communites which have been almost built up about the cream eries of Orefon and Washington.

' It would be cruel, barbarous perhapa, to stop immigration to tins, country; because that wu d deny huinaii be ings the privilege of bettering their con dition, but the fact reinainl that this is t,be only cure for the ills of the laboring i masses. 1 A present the United Stales j farmer is often prevented from market is the dumping ground of the paupers I ing hia grain when and where it would of all nations. It !s rliown by 1 he gov- eminent statistics that the per capita capital of immigrants to. , this country for the I aft quarter of a century has not averaged twenty-live dollars, hence this addition to our population must immediately become employees, and not employers of labor. How then, with this constantly increasing compe tition in the labor market can it be ex pected to maiutuin wages at the former standard? ' Suppose, for example, a restrictive immigration law was enacted prohibit ing the landing of any immigrant pos sessed of less than $10,000. Under such a law the immigrant would immedi ately bebome an employer and at once remove from the labor market, instead of adding to it, a portion of its surplus stock. As matters are at present new brawn is constantly luing added to the already monstrous surplus, an 1 so long as this continues human genius can not restore the - salaries, of foim?r times. An over plus of anything creates de pression in that things markets This is especially true of the common labor er.' He can form no union to protect himself, because aim ist every incoming steamer adds to his number multitudes forced to seek employment because of poverty and hunger has no respect for pledges. ' . 'Financial legis'i.tioi), one way or an other, will i.ot remedy the evil, nor will tariff laws effect it very much. Congress may legislate on these quest ions until the crack of doom, but just so long as. we import empty pocke's and hungry stomachs, bauds will not remain idle if by an undercut in wages they may be set to work. .. . , The above is taken from the Portland Sunday Mercury, a staunch republican paper, and it is so seldom that we find anything ot a political character in a republican newspaper ' that .we can heartily endorse, that we feel in duty bound to acknowledge the fact when it occurs. It expresses our sentiments perfectly. The way to "protect Amer ican labor" is to shut out foreign labor, not foreign goods. Nor is this, cruel to ihe foreiguer. . Under existing circum stances he does not improve his condi tion by coming here, because so many of his fe.lows have come, that this country can no longer give him em ployment at big wtiges.' The foreigner has caused this conditio i; has come here until every occupation is over crowded. The laboring population has outgrown the employing population. The country is still growing but not fast enough to absorb, the horde of brawn and inusclo that yearly over runsit. We have no objection to a foreiguer, for the reason that ho is a foreigner; but we object to his eominsr, because it xis against the interests dl the foreigner now here, as much as against the citizen. When immigration is stopped, American labor will bo pro tected, but not before. ' : The Brazilian election is still in pro gress De Gama seems to be counted out in the Rio Janeiro bailiwick.

In a recent interview on tlie question of good country i-oads Governor Altgeld ezpressod hiinoelf as follows: t .. ,i r,t n,io . ii 4. i. i .Li . i UUU Ol lilt? IJlVaL IJIIUX Itxlli, LLLau VIl' fronts the people of Illinois, The etat& should tako hold of it vritli resolution and upon a troad gaugo plan. Thero is CO adequate reason for tho impassability cf many, of our common roads. The we;;t has built rjreat cities, railroads and workshops. Illinois has been in the front rank in all of these improvements. There la no excuse for her being behind in her road policy particularly as her agricul " i ture is tho basi3 of her prosperity. it t secma almost incredible that we have. made so little progress in tho business of roadmaking. This question should in terest tho farmer mora than any one else, for the reason that he suffers much actual financial loss from bad roada. As a result of impassable roads the bring tho best prices. In other words, be, must. sell when "he can get to a sell: place and not when the best price is ob-. tainablo. ' The railroads also are deeply interested in 'securing good road3. As1 things are now the railroads aro swamped, with grain for shipment when good roaci3 enable tho farmer . to deliver his grain to them, but let the weather make the roads bad, and the farmer, being un able to haul over them, ceases to bring his grain to market, and the railroad and its cars are idle. . For this reason alone many railroads are compelled to have an unnecessarily large number of cars. Bad roads congest the grain business into the periodic spells of good, roads, and this necessitates higher charges for the serv ice of transportation when it is rendered. In addition to all this teaming over bad roads is hard on the horses, hard on the wagon and hard on tho farmer himself." "What have you to say concerning the expenso of building good roads through out the state? Thatia .a most difficult problem toJ deal with, However, it may be set down as a principle of right and justice that those who are ' benefited by the good roads should pay. for them. But a good road policy would bo of general benefit i. a: Ji. V, T y "i"" "t iT"' , "J"0" fore, that some of the expense should be borne by the state at large. In addition each county might have a local tax for tho same purpose. Townships likewise should have a tax. But it would be un fair to a township to compel it to build rairto a townsnip to compe. it to ouna a lot of bridges over a stream mainly for It w-ould bo for such a purpose that n general county, tax might be levied. In addition to this, property, farms espe cially, that aro conspicuously benefited, should bo made to pay a. special assess ment. All of this, however, is very crude. I only suggest it as perhaps a feasiblo plan. I would not like to be con-' sidered as having reached final conclu-j signs on this phase of the matter.", ' , "Would a good road policy upon the part of the state greatly increase state tasesT , ' . , -. ' "That would depend upon the policy adopted. If we -were to undertake to build good roads nil over Illinois at once the cost would bo great and would neces sarily heavily increase taxation. : But Buch a policy could not bo .agreed upon or maintained. . I apprehend that wiih'a i careful and economical administration it j the state affairs general taxation need bo j but little increased, if increased at all, in order to begin a road- policy. And it should bo considered that money expend- i ed in permanent improvements, such as j good roads, i3 not like, money thrown away upon payrolls Of useless employ ees." ... - ' ' "Have you given the matter of road- j building any considqration!'" '. I "Only in a general waj I have kept ! track of the question as it has been treated in tho newspapers and magazines and have been much interested by it., It appears that a good roadbed and road- way about fourteen feet wide that i3 to eay. double track can bo built for about , fifty cents a linear foot. This would bo about Q3.500 a mile. Where a general system of roadmaking would be gone into, however, I am mchned to believe that this' expenso might be greatly re duced. But, even at fifty cents a foot, two roads spanning an ordinary county at right angles could be constructed for le63 than $:j00,C00. . The interest on such an investment would bo about $10,000 a year. A properly constructed road would not require much expenditure for repairs for a longtime."

Views Kxpressed by Profess Henry, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, . In a letter written to Hoard's Dairy man concerning grasses in Wisconsin Professor Henry makes several state ments that are of general interest. In rejrara to me ciovers ne says: i no mammoth furmshes a seed which .brings a ood price and is probably val uable for turning under. Generally, however, medium red clover should be sown, since it 'gives better satisfaction for haymaking. The aisike clover de serves more friends than it has. It is especially valuable for sowing on lands slightly damp. Of course-it will not do on wet lands. It holds much better when pastured by stock than does rod clover, the plants often lasting several j'ears in pastures. The 6tems or tno aisike are finer and better relished by stock, espe cially sheep, than are tho coarser stems of the red clover. AlsiHe seed brings a very good price. We have tried a num ber of other clovers, but none that will comparj with alsie and the medium . red. . Amon,!r the grasses Kentucky bine "grass sometimes called Jrmo grass : holds supreme sway in Wisconsin. . In many places it runs out timothy and clover. It 6tarts very early in the spring . and furnishes abundance of feed until about, the 1st of July, wdien it enters !i period of rest and is of little worth un til about the 1st of September, when, if .favorable conditions prevail, it starts up again, furnishing fine pasture all the fall. Redtop holds fairly well, and is especial ly valuable for lands somewhat damp. . Fowl meadow grass may also be tried in a limited way where redtop succeeds. Orchard grass should be sown in tha pastures for the purpose of furnishing a variety, but should never bo sown alone, since it has a strong tendency to grow in clumps or tussucks and does not mako a . satisfactory sod. ... For meadows the standard mixture is timothy and'clover. Orchard gras3 can be 60wn ulonj; with clover with or with , out the timothy. It is about ten days earlier than tho timothy and fully as early as clover. Meadows produced h . tll!m whV, timathv -iR sown, u mess cue very eariy orcnaru grass makes a woedy hay. j, Of tho newer candidates for favor in , the meadow the only one we have had any success with u the tall meadow oat .grass, which we find holds pretty well, i .'. , ., 1,. '...,. i., r , This gras3 has a heavy leaJ'age near the . ground and sends up long stems afxord ; ing really but little, nutriment. in them selves in proportion to their appearance. The oat grass hay is somewhat bitter to & - fc -s j M by - ft rf eV(JU emi orhard ipens grass. From the stiff nature of its straws it prevents clover from falling over, enabling it to dry. out quicker aft er being cut .'with the mower. ,'. ;, To those who wish" to experiment with grasses for meadows I would recom mend the use of some aisike, orchard grass and tall oat grass along with common red clover and timothy. Many f armer3 seem not to understand the vegetation of the clover plant, labor ing under the impression that it is nec essary to sow some grain crop with the clover, to protect it. Clover doss best when sown by 'itself or with other ''grasses and without any nurse crop. To sow cat? or barley with it in the spring is to place it in competition with a strong plant that takes away the mois ture. ...'.. a " '.:,..,,..-. If there ,is not moisture enough for. both tho grain crop and the clover, the clover must die out. ' We have never failed, no matter how dry the season, in getting a good stand of clover whei'Q( clover was sown by itself, while we have frequently failed in getting a goodcatcb where clover was sown with spring grain or in the spring with winter grain. Of course the farmer does not feel like sowing clover with or without grass seed alone and losing a grain crop the firs year. I have' mentioned our experience in the matter in order to help bring about a proper understanding of the sit uation. W hero it is important to get a good stand of clover sow it. by itself. In that case a good crop of hay can be cut from the seeding the first year if the season is favorable at least heavy pasturage will be afforded in the fall. If sown with grain, one must take his chances for the clover. , The Royal Church raspberry is largei than the Cuthbert, ripens early and con tinues to ripen through a long season.
