On account ofthe non arrival of pa

only six pages, after baying promised

WOULD BE STRANGE, j
Wouldn't it be funny Ifjthere were a
great panic An the midst, of this era of
prosperiryr Exchange H :
It wouldn't be exactly, funny,4 but It
would be strange. And It Is not going
to happen, If the people of this country
are wise enough to let well enough
. alone in the matter of the tariff laws,
' and do not turn the country over to the
mercy of the tariff tinkers. i
One of the most conservative of the
Wall street operators recently made the
statement that whlie the majority of
the people In this country imagine-that
stocks are already too high, he predicts
that they will go steadily higher, in
the cases of stocks representing relia
ble and well managed concerns of all
UNIONf - -L
classes, and the business of this coun
try will have no serious set-back, but
will go on expanding for an Indefinite
- period, y., '.' - '' . ' , - - .' ;t ;
v The writer of this paragraph believes
this will be the trend of future. 'events,
for two 'reasons. One Is that the, busi
ness of the "United States will grow and
! prosper, for an indefinite period. j The
wthar is that the world's output Of gold
. will go on increasing. This being the
universal money metal, and there being
. all the gold needed now for the re
serves of the various Governments, the
prices of things measured In. gold will
go higher and higher as compared with
the present prices This Is the (en-
, (U-ncy.now. and It will not be changed.
The United. States will have two kinds
of prosperity for the'lrnmedlate future,
and for a long time to come. One wU
be actual, based ' on real prosperity.
The other will be apparent, based ot
the rise in values based on ounces and
;gralns of the universal money aieU'
0Ve- ftr .nt-.'ol'n-; to hve any -more
';hard times In this country for a long
time, unless we make hard times by
our own foolish actions.
f
DISCOVERING ANOTHER THING.
"President Palma, of .Cuba, is slowly
discovering Jhat If he is to get along
In hi republic he will have to become
a partisan. . So-far h is posing ua a
man above parties and consequently
commands no following in either the
house or senate. Exchange. , ; ! .
On the contrary he Is probablyj dis
covering another thing, He Is probably
finding out that "he'll be damned If
h does, and he'll be damned if he
don't. - - :
He has a hard task before him. and
so will hi successors' have, - whether
they are partisans or attempt to pose
as men above xta"rtles.:"The Cuban peo
ple are not capable of aelf -government.
They have not had the training to fit
them for. the responsibilities of citizen
ship in a free country of their j own
supporting, and even-their children will
nut be composed of the material ' cal
culated to make a Strong. free govern

THE RANGE OF PRICE.
While figures cannot ev n prevari
cate when set la f column -nen ' who
d-al wMh figures come to different con
clusions.'. For example. It has been as-1
serted by statisticians that the ' In
crease In the prlceof articles of food in
the last five years, averaged about 23
per cent. The Massachusetts Bureau
of Statistics corrects this j statement.
The average increase since!: 183? has
bi-en only about 15 per. "cent. ; The
heaviest Increase la shown in the item
of rent, which has gone uo S2.43 per
i tr.t. Dry goods j have , risen 16.fr per
cent,, fuel 9.7S, "food 1L11 ' But the
Mus.uhuietts Bureau compareslprtces
in 1903 with prices In 1S72. and finds
ithat we are huylngthe solid comforts
f life cheaper now thap In the earlier
!.t. Foodstuffs compared with prices
a 1ST2 have declined 19.97 per cent, dry
yrtois 41.01 per cent fuel 2S.81 per cent,
T'..U general '.decline in Tprlces enables
th wase-earner to raise his standard
of livingand hjs condition is still more
r improved by the rise in wages. No 'one
sute can furnish ytatlstlc for the
whole, nation.. In some carta ct iLe
country the trip of comLIr.atlon la more
effective than In other parts. In thickly
Settled states the cost of transport-.
tion Is a smaller Item in the total cost
of food than in states where food has
to" be carried over long distances. The
statistics of the Massachusetts Bureau
are undoubtedly- correct for that and
adjoining states but they do not apply
with equal accuracy f.o all the states.
NOT LONG ENOUGH.
In New York state Monday two new
laws of great importance to married
folk and lawyers went into effect. One
provides that neither party to. a di
vorce suit shall ,- marry until three
months have elapsed after, the signing
of the decree! The other makes It a
misdemeanor for lawyers to advertise
for divorce practice. It la hoped by
the second law to curb a certain class
of persons who have never been
credit to their profession. It would
be well for California to have a sim
ilar statute. Oakland, Cal., Enquirer.
It would be- well for.; California to
make it longer than three month. That
Is not sufficient Ime for, the sake of
decency A year Is not too long In any
case, and a thousand years in some
cases .-" ' '. , "::
In Oregon either party to a divorce
case Is not eligible to marry for six
months after the granting of the di
vorce In order to give the other party
time to appeal. In case pf a reversal.
there might be a surplus wife or bus-
band, as the case might be-rone legiti
mate and the- other in the state of the
Mormon's plural wife or wives in Utah.
AT PEACE.
The unpleasantness which for a time
existed between Argentina and Chile
has been dissipated by a comprehensive
treaty of peace. Not only are old ani
mosities declared , off. but a provision
is made against the appearance of new
ones. The treaty includes a declaration
that neither of the contracting parties
, . - -
seeks territorial expansion at the ex
pense of Its neighbors; . also, for the
limitation of naval armaments and for
the submission ' of any disputes that
may hereafter arise to the arbitration
of Great Britain, The " treaty secures
the neutrality :of . Argentina ; in the
event-of an attempt ; on the part of
Peru and Bolivia to recover territory
which Chile seized after, the war of
1870 and has since retained. Being
thus deprived of a possible ally. Peru
and Bolivia will doubtless await events
rather than take . the chances of war
with their old antagonist. , Argentina
and Chile are the two most progressive
countries In South America. The for
mer has a territorial area of 1.125,088,
the'laiter of 293,970. In respect to pop
ulation they are nearer in ? equality.
Argentina having a population of 4,086,
500, Chile of 2.414.000. . s
What would American brewers think
If their business was regulated as it !
in Qermany? There is a popular Idea
In this country that the rights of plain
people are not so jealously upheld in
monarchlal countries as li this land of
the free, but a little story that comes
from Munich proves that this supposi
tion is wfong. Thiere bas been ' copt
plalnt In that city that the collars on
the beer have been growing higher and
higher, and as a result the matter waa
referred lo tha ,cit v . statistician, i; He
was asked to figure out how much beer
the people of Munich were annually
cheated out of through the beautiful
white collars of foam. This municipal
statistician was evidently a friend of
the people and against the beer trust,
for his report, declares that the people
of Munich have been annually cheated
out of 1,000,006 liters of beer by. the
building of too much foam on top. Then
a righteously Indignant municipal gov
ernment took the matter up and pro
ceeded to' give relief. The brewers have
been required to furnish "new steins,
deep enough to permit of a collar,' and
at the same tim to. hold the amount
of amber which aJutt law provides
shall be given for1 an honest groschen.
The Greater Salem Commercial Club
bas already sent away several thousand
of Its folders, and within a- few days
25,000 will have been sent. The whole
100,000 promised to the ' immigration
department of the Harrlman lines
ought to go forward as fast as . possi
ble.; Other points are sending litera
ture. . Both the county of linn and the
city of Albany have contributed. Many
different scberrws are being brought
forward 'to attract immigration west

Mississippi's convict farms are said
to be models pf intelligent, enterprising
and humane management, and in add!
tion are yielding a handsome income to
the state. Under the lease system the
convicts were badly treated, so that
system was recently abandoned and
the state Is now-working. Its convicts
on farms either owned by the state or
leased for a. term of years. , The war
den's report, for the. first six months of
this year shows that the cash receipts
of the system for this period have been
$190,436.32, while ' ; the, total expenses
were S9,004.2S, leaving profit In, six
months f of $101,432.09. A very good
showing from a financial standpoint,
but the statement4 concerning the hu
mane management may be taken with
a raln of salt, since most of the' con
victs are negroes, and -since it Is In
