Shame! Shame!


Shame! Shame!
Mrs. Hancock is the next victim
doomed to the emasculation of oil
womanly and ladylike qualifications.
1t is to be seriously regretted that
any Republican should so far forget
his manhood and the interest of his
party as to guilty of a silly TRADE
against lady in hopes of gaining a
little party favor thereby. Mrs.
Hancock is not a candidate for the
Presidency and should not be
dragged before the public and picked
to pieces by sensational correspond
ents and pitiful Jenkinses oftbe press.
The Republican party, as q party,
is above such miserable subterfuge.
And every right-minded individual,
Republican or Democrat, will con-
denim it. Respectable newspapers
should positively refuse to publish
any matter rehectin, on the family
or family relationships of the candi-
dates. In fact, we don't see any
reason for abiding t. Mrs. Han
Deck, Mrs. Garfield or their child
rem during the campaign. The sick
ening stuff that is daily dished up
for the people, has a contrary effect
to that intended. and is sure t. mill
tate against, rather than promote the
interests OF the party. The sensa
tional and lying twaddle impuSn-
ing the valor and patriotism of Gen
eral Hancock, which finds circula-
Iion through the Chicago Tribune,
is not calculated to add dignity to
that journal nor the party it advo-
Gates. To our certain knowledge
these spiteful and lying diatribes
arc alternating staunch Republicans
from the party and adding strength
to tho Democrats. Let the Repub-
lican press throughout the length
and breadth of the land be first to
crush these would-be assassins of
General Hancock's character, and
not by their silence indor'c such a
cowardly mode of warfare. We
speak from Republican and not
from a Democratic standpoint
Portland Bee, Republican.

The Hop TRADE. The hop circular
of Philip Neis, of San Francisco, fur
nishes us information as follows con-
corning the hop trade of the Pacific
coast: Last years hop crop on
this coast reached in round numbers,
IL 800 bales. With few exceptions
California was poor in quality; Ore
gon, two-fifths prime to choice, bal
ance mediocre; Washington Terri
tory, fifty per cent. choice, thirty-five
per cent. fair to prime, ana fifteen
per cent. inferior. The market in
September opened at 25 cents yer
pound; in October it reached 80 to
35 cents, and closed tho end of No
vember at 40 cents. From that
time, with lower prices ruling in
Eastern markets, and scarcely
enough stock remaining here and in
the country for home consumption,
export ceased. Not bale is left
to-day in growers hands. Stock of
yearlings and old, insignificant.
Receipts from August 18Th to date,
bales-California, $3.50; Washing
ton Territory, 1915; Oregon, 1,19S.
Total, S,S12. Exports per railroad
to Eastern cities and England, from
San Francisco, Sacramento, Stock
ton and San Jose, l ,433, O79 pounds,
at $50 pounds per bale, 900. From
San Francisco by sea, bales-to
East Indies. 1874; Australia, IS;
New Zealand, GO; other countries,
%. Total, oil. Grand total, 9,3l1
bales. The prospective crop on this
coast, founded on reports from my
correspondents, all growers, points
to IN increased yield of from 40 to
so per cent on last seasons. In
crease of acreage is small, but such
yards that We're scarcely or not at all
worked during 1879, have been well
cultivated this year. The April
rains came very opportune to our
California growers.
