The Maryland platform . relative to

-Mrst. wn believe In the gold stand

The declaration cone-etiiing triifis is
spt-elallv to be comioended; for the
wiso conservatism whkh it embodies.

B Forakt.r today delivered an address
here, at the celebration at the Butler
county fall grounds. The featutes of
his addrevss were his declarations for
expansion and his argument on trusts.
He aid in part:
We hear it said that the tariff is
the n ether of trusts, and that they
are the -uiee' of all sorts of evils.
W do .ave trusts, -and some of lhni
are as bad as they are reprtd, but
they are not the i.rduct t .the t.iriff,
and if thejr werey the tsr.fT with ite
att ndant prtin-rcty and tiusts. U let
ter than free trade and idleness, ruin,
want, hunger, oup houts nnd rags.
That the tariff Is not resrons.ble for
trusts 1 ahawn by the fact that, while
they have free trade ln England yet
they also have more trusts in that
country than In any c-ther. , True
are simply th-i feature of our modern
business oonc-IWoi.s with respect to
which party llius canr.ot be drawn.
We have com to a place where we
must i ell : abroad or re Mrlct produc
tion. To sell abroad we must compete
to coiniele we mutt econorn're, and to
ccon'-m'xa we mint' lower wage, or
combine. Lcwejr wages we do not
want and will not have, and therefore
we aee-ept the alternative and com
bin. And now. Just when ihe nece
sitjr Is t pon u ti nnd our market, for
our tur'plus t n.ducts, the way to the
bt-st marke-t of all Is openni by thi
annexation of Hawaii nnd the war
with Spain. It is not in Europe, but

BIG YIELD OF HOPS
REPORTED EROM FOREST GROVE
13 0 EX Eli ALLY DOUBTED.
Local Dealers Do Not Believe the
Story of the Production Re
ported from There.
(From Dally Sept. 23d )
The following was taken from the
telegraph columns of the Portland Or-
egonian, of the 2 2d Inst.:
"Forest Grove. Sept. 21. D. C. Stew
art finished a 10-acre tract of hops yes
terday, which yielded him 61,000
pounds, or C100 pound, to the acre."
The yield reported being such an
extraordinary one, the item was shown
to a number of Salem nop buyers
yesterday. , '
Win. Brown, one of Salem's best-
known dealers, said: "That certainly
must be a enletake. I have heard of
IVi ton of hop to the acre, which
was considered an exceptionally good
yield. Washington , county is not the
section of country from which an ex
tremely targe yield per acre, may be
expected, the hop yards, generally be
ing on vne upiauu, mm wte quaimy in
the growth is excellent. 1 should
think that 4300 to 1800 pound, would
be a very good yield for Washington
county.
"I once purchased a lot of hop from
a Mr. Pollard, being the output of an
eight-acre yard. , and this tract had
averaged nearly 1V4 tons to the acre.
but I do not think that any such enor
mous yleldt ha been produced this
year. In this section of the country
the Gilbert ft Patterson yard, at'Eola,
is considered one of the best produc
er this year, the yard having yielded
o er 2000 pound per acre, but thi crop
was especially well cultivated, and the
output I of excellent quality.
Other dealers, to whom the dispatch
was shown expressed themselves in
the same vein, and doubted the truth
of the statement.
CABINET CHANGES.
Few Administration Have Had So
Many a that of Mr. McKJnley.1
When William McKlnley became
president of the United State on
March 4. 1897, John Sherman was ap
ex inted secretary of state; Lyman i-J.
Gage, ecretary of the treasury; Rus
sell A. Alger, secretary of war; John
D. Long, secretary of the navy; Cor
nelius N. Bliss, secretary of the In
terior; James A Gary, poatmaater-gen-era!;
Joseph B. McKenna, attorney
general, and James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture. Eighteen months be
fore the next presidential Inaugura
tion only three member of the orig
inal McKlnley cabinet, Secretaries
Gage, dng, and Wi Hon, remain, thr
having been change in all the other
The number of cabinet change
which have occurred in two and a
half years, though not unprecedented,
ha been unusual. Six cabinet officer
nave resigned, either to retire to pri
vate, life or to accept other appoint
ment at the hand of the president.
These Include Secretary of State Sher
man, who went out tteoause of ill
health, and hi successor. Secretary
Day, who accepted a United State
judgeship; " Attorney-General McKen
na, who accepted a seat on the su
preme court bench of the United
States; Postmaster-General Gary, Sec
retary of the Interior Bliss, and Sec
retary Alger of the war department.
It Is the general rule as regard cab
inet change in American politic that
they are most numerous in tne cab
inet of a vice president who becomes
preaident by the death of the elected
president- Tyler, for Instance, pro
moted to the presidency by the death
of William Henry Harrison had dur
ing hi exciting administration four
ecretarle of the treasury, five ecre
tarie of war, five secretaries of the
navy, two postmaater-general. and
three attorney-generals. Andrew
Johnson had Ui-ee secretaries of war.
three secretaries of the Interior, two
postmaster-generals, and three attor.
ney-general. The most stable of the
cabinet office I that of ecretary of
the navy, and Jt I usually held by one
man only during the course of an ad
ministration, the record of the Mc
Klnley cabinet being the same in this
particular as that of many of it pre
decessor. Preaident Pierce had one
secretary of t.he navy during his whole
term. Buchanan had one, and Pres
ident Lincoln had only one. thaugh
the operation of the navy department
during the administration of Secretary
Welle were more extensive than those
during any previous administration.
President Johnson had one secretary
of the navy; President Grant, except
for a nrief time at the beginning of
hi first term, had one secretary;
Preaident Garfield had one. President
Arthur one. President Cleveland (first
term) one. William C Whitney: Pres
ident Harrison one, Benjamin F. Tra
cy; President Cleveland one in his
second term. Hilary A. Herbert, and
Preaident McKlnley ha had on only,
and there "are no present. Indication
of a change in the secretaryship.
The attorney -general, the constitu
tional legal adviser to the president.
I usually of fixed texture, subject to
the fact that an attorney-general be
ing by profession a lawyer aspire,
very often to a Judicial post, hi ap
pointment to which br hie superior,
the president, make a vacancy in the
office of attorney-generaL Neverthe
less, there was only one attorney-general
during the whole of the adminis
tration of Hayes, there was one only
during the administration of Presi
dent Arthur from " 1SS5 to 18S9, and
there was one only during the admin
istration of Preeiident Harrison.
Cleveland In hi second term had two
attorney-generals, Mr. -Olney. after
ward made secretary of state, and Mr.
Harmon, appointed to succeed him.
It la a peculiarity about the cabinet
change during the McKlnley admin
istration that though many, 'they have
all been harmonious, unaccompanied
by personal or political friction, and
in every case of an amicable character.
CREDITABLE.
