Eiij land in generally credited with pursuing A "Unil-grabbing" policy, but in this instance it in tsvulent frow the main uct in the caxe, an given out by the iiflicinl records, that KnicUuul will have to go to ww to protect liritif h nubjects Iron the cruel burdVim imjsiweil uixin them by the Luer government. The t'itlamlura, or Outlunden as tltey are iKiiifkjuitly called, are mostly English men who have gone into tlie Utnds of the Ihiteh republic (ho tailed) And have there established theuiselveii with their (tttuiliei nd devloed the resources of the country. The English outnumber the Bo thnii' tu mm, thongl) they are txchuled trow, the friini'liise, and the proportion of their tttxeH to that of the tkt wo ai 3,705,t'.Ht to 177,870. The Trantivaal w the nmut heavily taxed country in the world, ito jer capita be ing t"0. The government exclude the English language from the whool, for the nupport of which the Knglih-tipeak-ing people pay tl,0U0,fJU0 annually. For eigner are. practically excluded from tlm right ot trial by Jury, the panel for the trial of Outlunden) being invariably eompoed o( Boon. There xintn audi Uniuality of administration of jiiHtice a tU holding ot an Outlnnder in X1,(XK tail fur organizing a public meeting and a. Bur 100 for murder. With tmch vtrong grievances a tliexe the Uitlund cr have not asked of England that she take the country under her control, but unly auk that they be given the fran chine and representation in the govern ment. In fact, aorne two years ago, Bir Alined Miller, the Brituth high commiK vioner for South Africa, aid in the coui-He of a dispatch to hia home govern' ment: "It mom a. paradox, but it is true, that tins only effective way of pro tecting our subjects in to help them to cease to be our subjects." The conflict U therefore a varierl contention, The descendants of the early Dutch nettle re clinging to old and medieval cus tom that must of necessity fall before the eucroachiuetita of an enlightened and Euglish'spepking people. Mr. Kroger BtubbornJy.refuHes to recognize the demand of .Mr. Chamberlain, and lung and fierce as England realizes a war would be with , the people of the Transvaal, yet iriiperial necessity will lorce her into Jt. . ' Among the resolutions adopted at the late convention of governor and state Attorney general at fit, Louis wa the following, which might lie effective in ituflf, if enacted into law by the several state: "Recognizing that tmst are usually composed of corporations, and that corporation are but creature of law, and can only exist in the place of their caeation, and cannot migrate to another sovereignty without the con tent of that sovereignty, and that this consent nifty be witheld when desired, we recommend a the sense of this con ference that each state pass law pro viding that no corporation which is a member of any ool or trust in that state or elsewhere can do business in that state." A correspondent of the New York Sun ska: "Why not pay honor to our dis tinguished follow countryman, to whom we owe so much, of our knowledge of electricity and its uses, by naming a horseless carriage a 'Franklin?' It is misnamed at present, for the so-called automobile no more move itself than doe a vehicle drawn by a horse. 'Franklin,' aside from it associations, U a pleasantrsounding word, easily spoken, and could be used a a verb as well a a noun." Arrangements for the big parade in New York in honor of the arrival of Ad miral Dewey placed the G. A. R. in the rear. The commander of the depart ment of New York promptly declined to parade, and the old soldier will not participate Admiral Dewey i a mem ber of the (iriind Army, and it is certain he would have appreciated, having a ki. A. R. escort at the head of the col. limn in the parade. In slighting the old soldier the committee also slighted pewey. Prisident McKinley ha been sleeted ftn honorary member of the stone, cutters union in Chicago, lie i to lay the corner stone of the new post office ia that city. If he does so before the pnion laborer have adjusted their Strike on that building he will be de nominated a "scab." Tho Northwest Herald thinks he may he sprry he learned tlia trade. The recent eortliquaka in Alaska was something fearful. Muuntain were thrown down, seas opened and portions of island disappeared. Tidal waves swept inland, destroying forest and everything ia their path. No loss of life ia reported ft yet, hut when full par ticular are received it may be found that many persons have perished. The Boers are preparing to take the Initiative in the Transvaal war, and we Biay look for victory to be ou Una side of the South African republic in the first engagement. And if in the last engage ment of the war the Boers prove to lie victorious, Americans generally will not segret, Il'-U t. 1 LWL The Sumpter Miner is a new paper in the booming mining town of linker county, ffumpter is now supplied with two first class papers, Several costly brick blocks are building in the town, ami it ia claimed that it will have 10,000 population within the next six months.

The Broom Corn luduslry In Illinois. Tc-jcola, 111., 3i.pt. 10, 1809. Editor Cixaat: Still lingering in the heart of the Prairie state, I find, as everywhere I go, many thing prompting the pencil, amj if I should yield to inclination you might be deluged with li tters. Every industry has more or less point of in terest to the general reader. The Oi.a cikr, though not metropolitan, has til way 111 a general newspaper as well a a chronicler of local affairs, and with it alone, with it summary of the news of the ivorld, a man can keep reasonably well informed. This locality is one of the centers, if not the greatest, of the broom corn business. Quite a little arniy of men are here in this and adjoining counties at this time cutting and thrashing the broom straw. It is almost exclusively a floating popu lation, every train taking out men who have quit, while others come in to till the ranks. Men from everywhere come in to harvest the big crop which, when riie, must lie cared for just as ssn as possible. Storms are fatal to a broom corn field, and, even in fair weather, it soon damages by reason of bending over from weight of the seed. Crews of 20 to tO men in a field are common sights here now, with wage f l.2o a day, in cluding board. A man needs no credential to get a position in this army of la!or. lie is asked no questions as to previou condi tion or servitude. His demand for work is the "open sesame," and the "golden scepter" i held out without hesitation by the reigning broom corn king, who must, if possible, employ more hands than he needs, to provide for emergen cies. A man is not safe with less than 20 hands, as it takes nearly all of that number to run a thraslier, and the thrasher must be run at least every other day so a to keep well up with cut ting. Each two row are "broke" across each other at an acute angle about 30 inches high, with the broom, head hanging over the edge or resting on the edge of this so-called "table," which is "broke" through the entice length of the field, a quarter to half a mile, the breaker walking backwards a he turns down a bunch of stalks at each pull, and with a quick backward hitch, breaks t be stalks over so they lay smoothly on top. Kverv other table thus formed is used to lay the pile of broom straw on as it is cut and is denominated the "lay on" table. The alternate tables must not have straw laid on them but are left free to drive wagons through to collect the broom straw. ' . . The cutting is done with kniveii lit tle heavier than shoe knives, by walk ing between the tables, taking one row at a time and deftly severing the broom head with six to eight inches of stalk. Wagon bed are specially made for haul ing in and dumping the whole load in gcssl, smooth 'order near the tables where the seed is thrashed off. After the head are delivered at machine it take ten hands to lay this on table, straighten it out, bunch and feed the machine. The straw is borne from the machine and placed on slats six inches apart, from the ground up 10 to 15 feet high, the straw alsmt three inch(s deep to the layer,' all under cover, to eljfeet a thorough curing, after which it is baled for market. The season up to the last two or three days has been especially propitious for the harvest. In the machine for sep arating the seed from the straw, as in all departments of inventive work, the tire less inventor has met the difficulties step by step. Today the whole business of seed, chaff and very annoying lint dust or "fuzz" i simply blown out Ml toget her t hrough an inclined 8-inch tube, forming a great grave like looking pile oO to tKJ feet long and entirely out of the way. A month ago good broom com wa worth $85 to. the ton. Engagement for new crop have been made at IftiO to $70. Five year ago broom corn sold for $150, and 15 years ago it brought ftOO at one time. I have given no minimum prices, but 1 am told that f 110 may be considered a average price. l'.ut the Indian corn business is the biggest thing here and all around. Large stock feeders still have com to sell. Corn four year old is now being shelled ami delivered at 28 cents a bushel, some of which 50 cents was refused for it. The immense new crop now in sight in thi and adjoining states settle it. Can it be raised at this price? Whether or not, they don't know what else to put the ground in. The land is worth $80 to $100 an acre. Kent are high. One man told nte that the renters and not the landlords were responsible for the high rents. He said they continually "bid up against each other to obtain the use of the land." I took a surry ride one night at full moon. There wasn't a bit of romance about it except perhaps the few songs which some of the merrier sang as we trotted along, and great wall of corn on every side. A little fiat, round disk of corn covered ground over which the dome of heaven seemed rest ing a a cover rest over some dish at the table, wa all one could see. The world seemed small and so sternly prac tical, and yet this stretch of rich level land reaches for many, many miles ev ery way. In 18(Mi some Michigan men who owned three sections of land in Piatt county had it broke and 1,500 acres planted in broom corn, anil from this beginning it has grown and become the important industry of today. , The sur rounding state contribute a large force of the extras necessary to harvest the immense crop, licit men are to be found from all over the country. Here you meet the discontented, the adventurer, the young man out sowing his wild oats, the aged and the stranded in a!) the walk of life, bending to the woYk which is pushed with all possible dispatch. The hobo is here too, for a time, but a few warm meals so rouses the blue blood in hi veins and stimulates his damp ened inspiration that he long 'for the. road again and fondly dream of the rich drapingR and soft upholstery of the lxx car with its soothing lullaby. A broom corn raiser near Areola, which is the center of the business, picked up 40 hands during the latter part of one week so a to attack his Held with vigor on Monday morning. The free, warm, ad vance meal wa too much for his crowd; when he began work Monday he only had seven hands, which were re duced to three before the day was over. Some of these hand had slid out fisr higher wage. A man to 13 safe with his Uien should give top wages and the best, of fare, and, if possible, secure three or four extras. The fare is generally gixxl and abundant, with coffee and pie every meal. A person ot refinement is continually shocked with the wild and idiotic profanity and obscenity among the broom corn cutters, as billingsgate flows as an uninterrupted torrent. 15ut the broom corn hand, as a rule, must see Areola to strengthen his weak knees and harden hi jiedal extremities. Here he sees the saloon in its glory and can wrestle with the tiger till lf his hard wirned money is gone, and then go out a sadder niau to work hard for more. The average production of broom straw onthe.se tine Illinois land is one-third of a ton )r acre, so there is not a great deal to boast of considering the risk and attendant anxiety and expense with the often unsavorv crowds to handle during the harvest. JIjssab. I Mount Hood Note. Dr. D. Riggi weat to The Dalles apd brought hi tatter home with him to Mount Hood, last Friday. The old gen tleman likes the place very well. Our old neighbor and citizen, R. O. McKnmey, returned home on his place at Mount 'Hood, last Monday evening. All of the hop pickers from thi place have returned home and reort a good crop of hop this year in Wcbfoot. J. T. Cooper is talking of taking a band of sheep on the shares. Good luck to you, James.

At th last meeting of the Travers' liook and Curio club a resolution was adopted, and thi committee appointed to formallv express these sentiment. Anns C. Smith, t'LAHA Itl.VTHK, AONK Dl'KKM, Committee. Hood River, Sept. 20, WM. Presidential Campaign of l!t()0. The isilieie of the great political par tie ae now being formed and the candidates discussed. The voice of the people a recorded by ballot at the ap .matching presidential election will probably decide the policy of the nation ' for the next decade. Every citizen must study the great questions that are to come before the people. This can only be done through the medium of a great newspaper. Now is the time, therefore, for every voter to subscribe for the lx!t and most reliable newspaper obtainable. The Semi-Weekly Republic covers the whole field of jxilitieal news. While it i democratic, it publishes tin news in regard to political parties with out prejudice. Its telegraphic and cable new service is superior to that of any other pajK!r. It special feature are the best. In fact, it is the paper for that large class of reader who cannot afford or do not have ncce to the dail pliers. Attention i also called to The Re public's Sunday Magazine. Its half tone illustration are alone worth tin subscription price. It is made up ot .special articles by the best literary talent, embracing a variety of subjects of current interest. News features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged upon. For the benefit of the ladies the latest fashions are handsome ly illustrated. The Republic Sunday Magazine i always interesting to even member of the family. The subscription price of the Semi Weekly Republic is $1 per year. The Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25 per year. Loth paper are now being offered at the very low price of $1.50 for one year. To secure thi low rate both must be onlcred and paid for at the same time. Address all order to The Republic, St. Ixniis, Mo. , Pnyittir the Doctor' Fee. "It is an amazing fact that of all bills sent to a family, that, of a doctor i in hundreds of families the last one to he paid; and in more cases than it is pleasant to, contemplate it is never paid at all," writes Edward Lok in the .October Ladies' Home Journal. "I have recently gone to the trouble to make some inquiries into this matter, and have been astondod to find that not one fourth of the bills sent by doctors are paid with anything like' promptness. There is a quickening of the conscience; a simple realization of a proper sense ot duty needed in this matter. It is high time, in the case of hundreds of families, that this matter phould be brought hi me to their sense of fairness and justice, andas with them the doctors have for so many year been the last to receive their due in the payment of their bills, it would l.! only simple justice that hereafter "the last shall be first." No worker in the field of human industry deserves better than at the hand of the people whom he serves than the doctor, and to pay his fee promptly and cheer fully i the least we can do for the service which he gives us." Information Wanted. For a long time I have teen seeking information as to the fate of my son, Mark Neumayer, whether living or dead. To all who have ever known inv son, I appeal for information as to when and where he was last seen, or heard from. To the papers of this city and state, and elsewhere, willing to assist a deeply dis tressed mother to clear the mystery of her sonV disappearance, I appeal with a request to publish this article. Mas. L. Nevmaykr, Portland, Oregon. "Ma," said Willie, who had been to the missionary sewing society with his mother, "I feel very sorry for the poor little heathen." "That' right, Willie; I am glad to see you show such a spirit." "Yes'm. I'd feel very sorry for anybody that had to wear the clothes that you people were making today." There's always hope while there's One Minute Cough Cure. "Art attack of pneumonia left my lungs in bad shape and I wa near the first stage of con sumption. One Minute Cough Cure completely cured me." writes- Helen Mcllenrv, Bismnrk, N. D. Give instant relief. William & Lrosius.
