Congress is getting down to busi ness with commendable celerity. The army bill has been passed in the house, the ship subsidy bill is likely to be disposed of and the great Nic aragua canal bill passed at this ses sion. An experimental farm is to be started in the Philippines and atrial made at growing American products in that country. While this is being done why not introduce Philippine products to American soil for a test, of production. If our products will grow in the Filipino land certainly the products of the islands will grow here. The farmers of Douglas county find that turkey-raising pays. They furnished between 20,000 and 25,000 of these fowls for the Thanksgiving dinners of the people of Portland, San Francisco and elsewhere, It is estimated that the farmers of that county received 125,000 for their Thanksgiving turkeys, They will have a supply, too, for the holiday season. Mexico is having more trouble from the Indians than the United States has experienced in many years. In iact the United States bus been remarkably free from In dian disturbances of any consequence since the reservation system has been extended to include nearly all the wild red men. This system has many drawbacks, but it has practi cally abolished the old Indian raids which used to terrorize the whole frontier. The strife for the U. S. senator ship from Oregon is raging* if we may judge by the newspaper editori als from different sections of the state. Party amity is experiencing a severe test, and it is hoped the war between the friends of the two can didates, Messrs. Corbett and Mc Bride, will have been argued to a finish before the legislature con venes. The people sincerely believe that there is a conscience in the m imbers of the coming legislative assembly, and that they can appeal to it for the settlement of this one important question affecting Corbett and McBride and the commonwealth of Oregon. Therefore it is proper that the people sfieak now, and dis cuss the senatorial question with their servants, the members of the legislature. Ami when that body is convened let there be no “star ebam her" sessions.

A good deal of the ter ritorv of the school district is out side the incorporated part of the city, but there are certainly more than 1258 people inside the corpora tion. Some action should be taken to have the matter corrected, if it is not too late.—Statesman. Robert C. Hoover, chief Engineer of the department of mines of the Chinese government for the two years preceding the Boxer outbreak who has now returned to this conn try, in speaking of the commercial importance of China, says "In the near future the chief factor in the Chinese trade of the Pacific coast will be coal. There is more coal in the three northern provinces of Chili, Shan Tung and Shen King than any other region in the world. This coal is anthracite of excellent quality, and when even fairly good rail wa v communications are established It can be sold in San Francisco at $7 a ton." A suggestion which was started by a Georgia newspaper has been finding a good many advocates among the people south of the Mason and Dixon line'. According to this plan the south should cut itself off from allegiance to the democratic party and should choose presidential electors not pledged to any candi date, and should “go into the elec toral college demanding terms.'' Just what this means is open to question. It has a sectional tone which is not altogether pleasant, Recent discoveries in Mexico have and it contains a sharp reminder that the electoral college system, led to the belief that America was which we so easliv think of as a mere discovered by Chinese navigators piece of machinery which perhaps 15(H) years ago.
