Yet corn has continued to go up ever since McKinley s election and does not go down despite the unprece dented crop.

Those instituting contests in the United States land offices w ill tie saved much expense by availing themselves of this decision, as many already before the department have been compelled to recommence their cases. S ince the creation of the depart ment of agriculture, which <vas in augurated for the enlightenment of the farmers of the republic, the ten dency has been to introduce as many “ologies” on the farm as we have been led to expect from tin* grad uating essay of a high-school ■•irl. In the report of the secretary of agriculture we Ibid vegetable path ology, pomology, entomology, orni thology, mammology and agrostol ogy. Such hard names one would think are well calculated to stun and discourage an honest and upright farmer, were it not plain that the department which turns them out is the farmer's friend, and gives these long words to him accompanied with the best of motives. One of them, “agrostology,” was much in evidence at the Portland exposition. The word, with its harsh and rasping sound, is well-meaning after all. The department kindly informs u that the division of agrostology i “devoted to the investigation of grasses and forage plants, and ex periments in the culture of our na tive species.” There is nothing like book learning for farmers, and we ought to expect a great deal from a function of government with such an imposing name as “agrostology. the United States.' Up to the breaking out of the war Spain had practically enjoyed a monopoly of the trade to the Philippines. When that was lost Spain asked that Span ish products might be admitted for 10 years on the same terms as Amer lean products. This valuable con cession was made by the United States. It is a part of the consider ation for the surrender of the Phil ippines. The United States is in honor bound to carry out this agree ment. It cannot without disgrace get out of it by turning the Philip pines over to Aguinaldo and trust ing to him to admit Spanish on the same terms as American goods. The United States must carry out in person the agreements it makes. The treaty clearly contemplates the retention of the Philippines by the Miss Ellen Strong of Portland is here United States for 10 years, and Spain was glad to secure exemption on a visit to her brother W.

Admiral Dewey has said again, and quite as emphatically as before, that lie is not, and never will be, a candidate for the presidency. He dwells upon the fact that the career of a naval officer can not be that of a politician, and that he must be con tent with the honors of his profes sion. The admirals ambitions are evidenced along the line pursued throughout his life. Tie has no de sire whatever to enter an untried field. By the adviceof his physician. Dewey has been compelled to recon sider his acceptance of invitations to several cities anxious to give him a welcome. The strain of going into politics as a presidential candidate would be far greater. It is clear that the admiral is not to be caught by the arts of selfish politicians who would use his great name for their own purposes. Globe-Democrat. Just a word and that word is RE LIABILITY.
