Wo examine the Alliauco platform In vain for the free trade plauks. Tho Salem Board of Trade is on a sound financial basis, and thero is no reason why a spleudid summer's work cannot be done. Let everybody take hold. Eat Oregoninn; A copy of a book entitled "Black Beauty" has been received at thin office and read by tho writer. We return thanks to the Oregon Ileal Estate company, of Portland, who presented us the book. It is well worth a careful, painstak ing reading and It does a man goos to peruse it. It has both a heart and soul and noouo who believes in kiudncss and loves "God's creatures" should fall to read it. It will nerve them to still better deeds. Every driver and rider of a horse should secure a copy and read it. This book has accomplished already great good aud Its influence is just begin ning to be felt. Eugene Jtegister: W. M David- sou, of Harrisburg, Linn county, is m.tkiug preparations for a grand celebration of tho golden wedding of his father aud mother, Mr. aud Mrs. Henry Davidson, at their resi dence in Halsey, nt the anniversary u hlch occurs upou the 22ud of April. Many old pioneers and prominent citizens of the state will bo present. Tacoina Olebe: Throughout tke Italian muddle, as throughout tho long controversy with Great Britain, Blnlue has maintained the dignity of the United States. In no Instance has ho exhibited auy evidence of a wish to mako exorbitant demands or to plunge this country into a for eign imbroglio, as his enemies have always charged against him, nor in any Instance has ho failed to assert and maintain the lights and dignity of the American nation. In his position of trust, holding In his hands tho dignity of tho nation, Mr. Blaine has acquitted himself so admirably as to silence all criticism. The Portland corporation man agers havo started a new corpora tion movement, tosavotho produc ere of tho Columbia river territory from oppression by tho transporta tion monopoly. Tho resolutions are published and the work is to go right ahead. The fact that tho city Is growing north, as well as In othor directions, Is shown by tho increase in tho JouiiNAii's list up that way. A number of now families were added yesterday. Quito a number of the twenty employes of tho Jouiwatj live up that way. Tho Voice, an Independent third party paper says: No wonder Sena tor Stanford wants congress to pass a two per cent land loan bill. Ills Central Pacific railroad owned last year 0,310,8-13 acres of land, If half of it is worthlesH aud tho other half worth but f 3.00 per aero (tho average prici) for Its land sold In 1880 was f.3.05) tho present worth would amount to $14,000,000, on which tho Cehtral Pacific would bo ablo to borrow $7,000,000 at two per cent. In addition, Senator Stanford's Southern Paeillu railroad owns millions ol ncrep more. Tho Union Pacific owned lust year IiinrU whoso vuluo Is estimated at $12,000,000. Wo are very skeptical as to tho ben efits a laud loan bill would confer on the individual farmer; but wo havo no doubt as to what it would do for the railroads aud real estato specu lators. Northwestern Financier; Silver is to be the chief factor of the cur rency of this continent, utiles' thero should be a large Increase in the gold product; and If we reason from known facts, thoro Is no ground on which to predict such an Increase. In the last ten years the annual pro duct of gold ha not rlnen above $85,000,000, nor fallen below $82,000, 000. Without now canvassing the wisdom of particular measures, tho experience of thebo ten yoara Justi fies the use of silver as the most available, most valuable, and leant dangerous moans of reinforcing the currency of the country.

Tho pollco on Wednesday dis persed a socialist meeting in Ber varndorff, a town belonging to Hamburg. This action is taken in consequence of tho anti-Semitic cle ment iu the meeting indulging in rioting. Fighting was continued in tho street. All the windows in tho yiclnlty wore broken by tho fly ing missiles Soveral rioters were placed under arrest. Tho Gorman miners aro represent ed to bo deeply disappointed by the results of the Miners' International Coufereuce. Their wages aro low and their hours long, and thoy had looked forward to somo common action in tho interest of miners iu general that could not fail to benellt. The movement has failed, owing to tho opposition of tho English dele gates to any tincture of socialism. Most of tho miners in Germany nre in sympathy with tho socialistic partv, and idontlfy tho cause of working men with that of revolu tion. Edward O. Leach, director of the mint, will probably Issue a circular to artists for nowdeslgns for subsi diary coins. Tho geuoral features of tho present coins will bo preserved to a considerable exteut.

Thcso changes arc to bo mado under tho net passed nt tho last session of congress wliioli appropriated $150,000 for.tho purpose aud is nvailablo July 1. Director Leech thinks that from $2,t;DO,000 to $3,000,000 of tho $20,000,000 In tho treasury can bo rccoiued with this appropriation. Tho gold coins are satisfactory aud will not bo changed. Tho mandatory coinage of silver dollars ceaso on July 1. After that tho trado-dollur bullion iu the treasury will bo rccoiued into silver dollars. Tho designs, aftor being se lected, will not be changed for 25 years. Tho circular will call for tho submission of the now designs by Juno 1. Tho stato comptroller, of Connec ticut answering Executlvo Secretary Bralnerd's claim for salary, denies that Bralnord holds such an office, or that Bulklov is governor, and therefore no munoy is duo him. Tho Morocco workers,, at Lynn Mass., hayo decided to return to work and sign an iron-clad agree ment. This action means abandon ment of tho Knights of Labor, and a practical end to Its rule in Lyun. Thomas Regan had chargo of Lucky Baldwin's stablo of race horses last Decombor at Mount Mor ris park, and suddonly left without giving notice.

Last Friday Harry Donovan, a 7-year-old boy who is heir to $100,000, was Induced by a young woman, now known aH Miss Clara Leoto, to leave the Now Haven (Conn.) mili tary school, where ho had been sluco his mother's death. Tho boy lived with hlsgruudmothor, Mrs. Rankin, iu Brooklyn until a short time ago, when his father took him uway and placed htm in tho New Haven school, whence the Leete woman uplrlted him away last Friday, Since that time his father hau been making fruutlo endeavors to find tho boy, and (Uncovered him with his grandmother iu n Iiouho near Bay Shore, Long Tsland. Quito a struggle ensued before Mrs. Rankin would give, him up. A. C. Paulsoll, a prominent gram merchant, of Ban Francisco, says; Everything seems to ludlcuto that tho price of wheat will be higher this year than last. Six weeks ago prices commenced to go up gradual ly, and now wheat Is from $1.55 to $1.00. I havo been told our export ers aro selling curgoos for August, September, October, November unci December ut tho rate of $1JS0 or moro hero. The season's options arc $1.50 until June, and 1601 options aro quoted at $1.57). Thcwo options are tho best Indications of prices which will prevail during and after tho harvest, ami tho noxt crops will bring $1.50 or more, which Is a bet tor prlco than we have been getting of Into years. "The acreage of wheat this year Is very large, per haps larger thuu over before In this tttuto. Every part or tho statu Is all right except Sun Joaquin valley; there tho rainfall hau not been suf ficient to give growers any margin. If, however, during this month they Hhould get two or three Inchon more ruin, It will give growers of the valley the lurgeat crops, perhaps thoy havo over had," SITUATION IN EUnOrE. London, April 9. A Vienna dis patch says that the Austrian govern ment, not being reassured by Rus sia's denial of unfriendly designs, has already concentrated largo bodies of troops at Tarnopolau Brody to watch tho Gallelan frontier. The Tenth corps, under Rinlandor, has been reinforced by n portion of tho First corps, and Prlnco Wlndlsch Groetz. of tho Eleventh, Is watching the frontier with a largo force of cavalry. Count Hnrtman, formerly Prince Alexauder of Bulgaria, who Is now nu olllcer in the Austrian service, has, It Is stated, been called into consultation at tho war office, with n vlow of utilizing his services In an important command, The Austrian authorities havo great con fidence iu tho abilities of the prince, which wero proven iu the war bo tweeu Sorvla aud Bulgaria. It is said that tho Austrian government has Important secret information from Russia whioli is tho basle of Its warlike preparation. Tho German kaiser has laid out n personal pro gram which apparently does not tako Into account nn early declara tion of hostility. On tho22dhois going to Wartburg for Bome black cock shooting, and, after spending a fow days there, ho will proceed on a visit to Count Goertz, in Upper Hesse, to shoot on his estate. Tho emperor will not, ns has been ex pected, go thenco to Alsace-Lorraine. If ho pays a visit to these provinces at all this year, it will not bo boforo September. It is to bo noted, how over, that twice us many officials have been detailed as during tho kaiser's shooting trip to Silesia as messengers to carry information from tho chancellor to the kaiser during tho absence of the latter from tho capital. State secrets are not being entrusted to thepostor telegraph. Apparently by some understanding with Austria, Ger many has suddenly begun to In crcuso tho force near tho Russian frontier and to hasten tho completion of works intended to facilitate tho transportation of troops. All indica tions go to show that a Russian in vasion would bo met by formidable armies of tho allies, whother first di rected against Austrin or Germany, or both countries nt unco. On tho Frenoh side Germany has a Bodes of fortresses that could not fall to delay invasion long enough to glvo ample tlmo for tho concentration of au army. MANITOI1A SCHOOL QUESTION.

Tho legal ity of abolishing tho French lan guage In tho ofllclal reports of tho province of Manitoba will oIbo bo dealt with by tho courts. Two other acts passed by the Manitoba legislature ono limiting operations in the province of companies incor porated by tho dominion parliament, and tho othor setting up regulations for tho quarantine of cattle crossing tho frontier have beou disallowed. Tin: mtAztxiAN tkkaty. New Yonic, April 0. Tho World yestorday had tho following cable gram from Rio Janeire: On tho 10th of February last, your correspondent cabled from Bahia tho fact that Sccrotary Blaine's re ciprocity treaty with Btazll was not likely to bo ratified, and that no binding fiction could bo taken by the Brazilian government until the constitution was adopted, whon it was safo to predict that tho pro posed treaty would bo rejooted. It was stated ut the tlmo that the mer cantile community, consisting prin cipally of English houses, would oppose their treaty to their utmost In splto of President Do Fonseca'a nnd hisadvisor's anxiety to see trade relictions between Brazil and tho UultecUJituteH fostered and devel oped. What has been foreshadowed Iu former announcements now bids fair to be realized. Tho constitution has been udnpted, nnd Prcsldeut do Fonseca has been sworn iu as the chief mnglntrute of tlio United States, of Brazil, while the foreign mercan tile community Is still unrelenting In Its opposition to tho ratification ot Mr. Blaine's treaty. It Is now domed beyond doubt that unless President do Fouseca forbids tho Urnzllluii cougrobs from taking any action iu tho mutter, the rejection of tho treaty Is Inevitable. President do Foitbccu continues to bo animated with the most friendly soutlmenU toward tho United Stules, nud ar tlisutlyeu))orU the treaty, but Brazil ns a government, Is not acting In A fair spirit regurdlug thoso provision of tho treaty which removes tho duly on wheat, coal and agricultural Implements, as It Is levying u port charge of 5 percent, on these import undor coyur of what U styled expedients, nominally for speeJai dispatch or simitar preference is 0 ,1 Mi
