Will Mr. Veatch say he was not sincere iu 1892? The “crime of 1873” was committed long before that time. ( The issue was a live one. He did not avoid it. He stood on that platform. If he was not sincere in 1892, will 1 any person believe he is sincere now, when he takes the opposite side of | the issue; when he takes the side which events transpiring since that I time have proven still more clearly to have been and to be wrong? Mr. Veatch would no doubt like to be considered an honest man and a sincere one. Will he say he was mistaken in 1892, and that he has since discovered his mistake? If so, when did he discover it? If he sim ply cast aside his former principles and now advocates principles he knows to be wrong, and has known all along to be contrary to truth and good policy, for the purpose of polit ical and financial gain for himself, is he a man to be trusted? Is he a man worthy to represent the first district in congress? Even though it were shown that Mr. Veatch has honestly changed his mind, a possibility entirely contrary to reason and the course of events, would it be good to send from west ern Oregon to represent us in the popular branch of the federal legis lature, a man who would be classed with Jerry Simpson of Kansas, and Dude Lewis of Washington? What could he do for our people—opposed as he would be to all the purposes of the administration, and with the mi nority party in congress? His elec tion would be a costly mistake, af fecting adversely the interest of ev ery one living or doing business in Oregon.—Salem Statesman. NO. 21 Whooping Cough. I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. My ---------------- -------- ......— -------- neighbors recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I did not think that any medicine would help him, but after giving him a few doses of that remedy I noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him entirely. It is the best cougli medicine [ ever had in the house.—J. L. M oore , South Burgettstown, Pa. Fur Bale by S. Howorth & Co. Western Oregon Crops. AU crops are reported to be in excel lent condition. The continued absence of rain is being noticed in the southern counties, but along ilie coast and in the Willamette valley rain is not badly needed, though it would be welcome aDd very beneficial. The reports indicate tbat the frosts of April have injured the peach crop in many portions of the Will amette valley, especially on the higher land and in the foothills; elsewhere no injury is reported. The injury is not general, aud will not reduce the crop, as a whole, to any appreciable extent. Strawberries, iu limited areas, were also injured, but are generally reported to be in good condition and commencing to ripen. Apple trees have dropped tbeir bloom. In some localities, early cherries are blighted. All fruit is setting well, and unless unforeseen and unexpected conditions arise, the fruit crop will be very large. The hay crop continues to be promis ing. Owing to tbe demand for hay in California, there will be more wheat hay this year than usual. Clover and timo thy would be benefited by rain. Alfalfa is making good growth in tbe southern counties. Garden produce is making a slow but healthy growth; rainB would be very beneficial to gardens. Hops are not in tbe best condition. General reports come in to the effect that some hills have made good growth, and that others are not .yet above the ground. No section reports uniformity iu the growth of hops. The grain crop is iu excellent condi tion. The drying north winds have been, to an extent, detrimental, but the growth is fairly rapid, the stand and color good. Rye is beginning to head out. Fall and winter sown wheat and oats will make a good crop without more rain. Spring sown wheat and oats, while generally above the ground and having a good appearance, will soon need rain. B. S.

In early warfare, and in fact until 1812, privateers were} not required to bear commissions, technically called letters of marque, ) from the government under whose I flag they sailed, but privateers with out letters of marque are now treat-1 county ed as pirates.

One result of Dewey’s victory is that our commerce on the Pacific is safe from Spanish attack, The Span- ish fleet, if it had escaped, would have been a constant menace to our oriental trade. Gen. Blanco claims that there is still a bright future in store for Spain, but as he neglects to mention the place of concealment it is pre sumed to be in one of the stores that does not advertise.
