We predict he will This M the middle or .May ana pm, some money in circulation In spring seeding U pretty well out , The financial outlook continues to be uncertain. The Henry Clews & Co. circular, of May 8, does not premise Immediate Improvement. The balance of trade the past montb has been enormoufly In our favor, still nold flows', to Europe. The Salem Silver .club hit the cecret cf the deepest s.-ated ulcer of all a lower rate of In tervst. Fanner and Industries can not pay 8 and 10 per cent interest wheu they can not make over from 4 to A percent. The old standard papers are re duced to the deepest depth They are now saying If Bryan would only quit agitating the silver question, confidence would be immediately re stored and Ih'ngs would boom. Well, we are not so u re. But we are cer tain if Mr. Bryan comes toOrccon he will get a cordial reception. Men of all parties at Salem will give blm a royal welcome to Oregon. He is a clean-handed gentleman, and for bis age, less than 37, he Is a marvel of ability, good judgment and courage ous political sagacity. Well may statesmen in their dotage tremble! Like the McKlnley administration, In place of reducing expenses this city Is proposing to raise more revenue. It Is putting taxes on industries here tofore not taxed and in the end the people will pay it all. Small operators in such lines will be forced out of bus fncssand will be unable to rcntoilices, and will be forced to retire and enter other fields. Last year the council with an eight mill tax only ran 2000 behind meeting all obligations. This year with a ten mill tax, the city will at present rate run behind $1000 to 85000. Taxpayers will pay 82 more on the thousand valuation and will be taxed Indirectly besides by the occu pation taxes, to say nothing of a dog tux. But then our city may be en tering uplin an eru of progress. .the way. There arc still the late gar dens to put in. Now we want to call the attention of farmer to a new line of work for Western Oregon, and that Is early Held corn on summer fal low. It Is the custom to summer fal low large tracts of land for wheat. It keeps the land clean and Is supposed to retain llS5trcngth. But in spite of that such land wears out and runs together, un!es manured, or unless by someotber process Its nitrogen is re stored. We believe this land can as well be planted to early Held corn as te He Idle. After a farmer learns to grow corn.and it is an art,he can clear i0 to tbe acre And this is no farm college talk but Is based cm act Hal ac complishment in Oregon, year after year. There Is produced brides, a large amount of fodder for cattle and swine. The corn stalks or stumps must be plownd under in the" fall and tbe land is in better order for wheat than if it bad lain fallow. Farmer?, iry this. Wc Know large quantities of Nebraska corn were shipped to Or gon, this year.at 00 cents per hundred weight. If it Mill pay to do that it will pay to try the experiment. The plan of summer fallowing land can only be Just I fled on the theory of cheap land and slow farming when wheat was worth a dollar a bushel. We do not believe the farmer will ever see that day again. Try corn on summer fallow. You have until the fore part of June to put it in. of: Webfoot. i Theafllicted are all reported doing well and rapidly convalescing. And we are always wiser for an affliction. See here; Isn't It a little cheeky to abuse a white man for not rushing in to pick up a living on the Astoria rail road which has been offered China men and convicts in vain? The Methodist preacher at Rosebug preached on Angels Sunday night and proved in his own way that they are all of the male persuasion. See here, fellows, ain't we Mohammedans going is resent this?

STATE NEWS For the first time in its history Sa lem had a lecture in the German lan guage from a highly educated German gentleman and It was enjoyed in tensely by an audience of German Americans. This is an event lu the development of an American commun ity, As a world language German ranks next to English, and the Ger man element of our population Is sec ond to none lu love of education, in Industry, cntcrprl.-to and patriotism. Salem should have a German society, and If tlio lecture ut Herr Winkler's music room should lead to such an or ganization we are certain It would Iks very gratifying to the Germans of this city. The city council no doubt acted In good fulth In removing Street Com missioner Gobatct, who was doing the work of thcclty for W0 a month. It Is uuOcrtitood that the mayor and council met In caucus conference and ovldeuce tigalust Uobalet may liuvo been laid before them. '1)111 the public Jias no knivvlcage that Mould form a basis of cause for removal. Mr. Gobalet U au engluccr und sur veyor whoso work Is sulci to bo no- curate. Ho Is it hard working ulllcor uud was not above taking pick und Hliovel, and milking needed repairs at email expouso. Besides lie Is it poor iuim with u family, Ho is n worthy sou of one of Oregon's ploBcew. His successor Is a wan of Ferty, ono of the big tax payers.:, This U said to liuye .been ono reason fur Ills selection. The. main reason uq doubt Is a political ono Unit A peculiar thing about the man damus suits against the secretary of stale to try to force hint to do some thing prohibited by law, Is that In case the plaintiffs should win In the higher court and should force Mr. Kincaid to audit accounts and draw warrants on the state treasury there for, the treasury would have no au thority to pay the warrants and from a legal standpoint would have no funds in the treasury from which to pay them. The treasurer only has funds applicable to any particular object after they have been appropri ated for that specific purpose by the legislature. Suppose then that they should force the secretary of state to draw warrants for their claims, they would next have to mandamus the state treasurer to pay such warrants and would have to go through the lower and higher courts and find out whether the state treasurer has full power to pay out money for this, that or the other thing, just as he pleases, without special authority from the legislature. Should they win in the second suit and get their money, Oregon would no longer need legisla tures and the biennial expenses amounting to $50,000 or more would be done away with. The secretary of state would be high mogul, und the state treasurer his rtght bower, so to speak, and the governor wouldn't bo in It at all unless the secretary and treasurer took rompasslou upon him and gave him a few dollars now and then. Tho whole business is bo ubsurd that it seems no wonder Judgo Hewitt threw It out of court and dis missed tho suits in live minutes, All power tol levy taxos and pay out money originates, is governed by und permanently abides in the people, and no court in the world can disin herit tho people. This exclusive power Is evcrlustlngly In tho po-jplo and their representatives, tho legislative assembly, uud unless the legislative ussombly nuthorlxes tho servants of the state, tho state secretary and state treasurer, to pay out their money Uiomj servants are powerless to ucU To uphold tho other theory would bo to overthrow tho funda mental principles of our government, and tho esUibllalnnonnt of an Aristo cracy or it Monarchy would bo the only logical outcoue. I The Eastern Oregon organ, of the state treasury, says:"GovernorLord is reported to have declared that when advised that any county treasurer Is ning the tax money that should go to the state for any purpose other than the payment of the state tax, he will see that the law is enforced and the treasurers compelled to do their duty under It." We do not believe that Governor Lord ever said that. A man last winter promised tbe editor eome rare beans. Six beans would feed the family all summer on green beans. Then some would ripen and a half a dozen would make a rich soup. He made our mouth water with his account of their fine flavor and we have often thought of that man and the beans. We still hope he may bring them. Wc want those beans. Does he think we can livc-vn potatoes? The Jacksonville Tiiucasay: Unas. II. Dodd, who announced from the stump while campaigning for Mc Kinley, that lie was a business man and not a politician, wants to be consul to Kanagwan, Japan. The gentleman has evidently changed his occupation, in common with the other prophets who are endeavoring to make a sure thing of Hying for the next four years by getting a federal office.' D Albany Democrat: Salem papers keep up the cry for an extra session of the legislature.

Eugene Guard. - One of Pap Richardson's bad breaks before the council Tuesday night: "You fix the price you want to pay for an olllccr and I'll furnish the tuati." Can that man's mind rise above spoils grabbing? Street commissioner Gobalet, lived to near Governor Lord, and was on too nendly terms with his excellency to enloy Pap Richardson's favor. If you ain't get a federal office put in a potato patch. If you don't read tho Statesman you don't get the slate fair news. Salem Statesman. That used to be the case when tho editor managed the fair.
