Philomath Paragraphs.

There seems to be disease among the
horses in this community that has proven
fatal in many instances. 1t seems to be in
many cases very much like the distemper
that is quite common all over the country,
but for some cause it IS more fatal this year.
Mr.. VIM. Wyatt, living one mile north of
Philomath, has suffered severely by the
disease, losing eleven or twelve head, some
of them were excellent horses. Some were
young animals unbroken, hence they were
harder to manage than those which were
broken. 1t is thought by those that have
been long in this country that the severe
snow storm this winSer, uncommon to this
climate, has been the cause. It has proven
much worse for horses that have been out
in pasture than those in stable. Stock has
not suffered alone, as there is cold or
cough. almost epidemic, going around
through the country among tho people, old
and young, that has been very severe since
the storm, and there is scarcely an observer
in Oregon, but what has noticed in the past
that after snow storm, severe colds and
aud sickness occur.
The winter wheat in this part of the
county looks very fine. a good prospect
for a large crop at the coming harvest.
What the remuneration of the husbandmen
as to price will be FOR labor is yet in the
future. Farmers are looking and wishing,
and for aught 1 know, praying for good
weather, SO that they may be able to get in
the spring crop in good time. We are glad
to learn that the ruling price o. grain for the
last year has not altogether discouraged the
agriculturalist, but the full number of acres
will be sown this year and wait the result
as to the price. 1t seems to me that it
would be the part of wisdom fer the agri-
culturalist to change little from the old
plan of raising al wheat and oats and raise
other cereals and vegetables; crops that
will not be so hard son the land, and will in
time he mare re.auI,.ratite than the policy
that has been pnrsuea ty farmers in general.
There is a piece of land ROW within the cor
rate limits of s;le city OF Philoinath that to
my knowledge has raised a crop of wheat or
oats each year for thirty years, this policy
without rest will wear ont the best land III
the world.

THE LATEST NOMINATIONS.

In his last batch of foreign nominations MI
Cleveland has stuck to his policy hitherto pur-

prise to both parties. There are certainly
many obscure names in his list, and those WHICH
are known are not in any way noted. Inc
South again has large share. A pee-
ter way to show the magnanlmity Oh
the North toward former rebels couid
hardly be devised than by sending tnem

TO st. Petersburg, distinguished himself sulii-
ciently in the Confederate service DIS Brlga-

Russia will hardly suit him long. Anthony NJ

THE HhLEBREED REBELLION

The first collisions between the Dominion
police and Riel's lf-breeds have resulted un-
fortunately for the Government, the rebels
having, though at heavy cost of life, repelled
their assailants and forced them to retire.
While these early successes cannot be regarded
as indicating even a probability of serious
danger that the revolt will become formidable,
they may make 1t less easy to stamp out by
inducing disatiected Indians and half-breeds to
join Rel The Canadians are excited over the
bad news from Manitoba, but it cannot be said
that they are at all alarmed. The militia, in
fact, appears to be eager for the fray, and it
seems to be regarded generally rather as an
interesting break In the monotony of peaceful
career than AS menace to the Government.
Yet it may prove harder to manage than has
been thought likely hitherto. The half breeds
and their Indian allies--if they indeed have
any--are hardy, good and stubborn fighters,
and have knowledge Of the country which

should supply the place Of many men. His
true that the mounted police and considerable
proportion of the militia consist Of robust and
active vounp men. used to hard work and ex-
posure to the weather. But this only makes IL
the more certain that whatever lighting takes
place will be serious and desperate.
The more the causes of the outbreak come 10
be understood. the less justifiable does IL
appear If, as alleged, the half-breeds appre-
hended the loss of some of their lands through
the introduction of plan of surveying to when
they were not accustomed, they had lawful
remedies in their hands. Riel, however, does
not appear to have desired the application Oh
lawful remedies. He wanted to figure as a
popular leader. Perhaps he has visions Ot an
independent territory under his rule, though
after his experience In the Red River rising 1t
ia difficult to understand how he can possibly
harbor any such delusive expectation. Inc
Government forces may be repulsed at first,
while only few mounted police are In the
field. The militia may find the approaches to
the scene of the trouble more than usually
difficult because of the time of year. But it Is
only a question of few weeks to surmount
such obstacles, and there Is no ground for
believing that Riel will be able in the interval
to increase his force greatly. The Government
cannot afford to make any concessions while
the rebel strength is defiant and unbroken,
since to do so would be tn put premium on
revolt. But when the insurrectiOn has been
suppressed probably it will be held more eco
nomical to grant such demands of the half-breeds
rs are reasonable than to have to watch them
continually henceforth.
The best way to make good citizens of them
is to make them realize that the Government is
careful of their interests. AS to Riel, however,
it is not likely that if he is taken this time he
will be suffered to get away again. Such man
is too dangerous to be at large, and possibly the
old Indictment against him for the murder OF
Scott might be made use of to dispose OF him
effectually,

formidable display of British strengtn Oh 'ho

involve, have convinced the Russian UoVern-

Diplomatic negotiations therefore are as
likely to meah delay alone as a sincere desire
for peace Russia has most to gain by delay,
because while her diplomats are discussing and
protocolling her generals can be moving troops,
free from observation, from the Caucasus to the
shore of the Caspian; whereas England, II she
gives her word not to advance, will doubtless
keen it even to her own hurt, and then some
day may discover that her rival is 200 miles
nearer Herat than she is, with force too strong
for the Afghans to hold back.
