We have to report very quiet, not to

whole, been very well. maintained,
though Millers and dealers have only
been buying for immediate consump-
tive requirements. There sno change
whatever in the state of the Flour trade,
and the demand continues on quite a
small scale AMI i, of hand to mouth
character, but late prices have been
:irn1ly maintained, and 1t now looks as
if we had touched bottom. This arti-
Gle is now sub very good value at pre-
sent reduced )rices, that buyers would
do well to lay IN good stocks. Business
in flour for shipment from America Is
quite at a stan istl!. Il prices continue
above the: level h-rc. ,.Iop Pr aspect

Salem Statesman: A farmer friend
was in from Howell Prairie, the garden
spot of Oregon, yesterday, and said he
had been reading the reports of large
Yields of wheat. He wanted to tell
the public something about some small
Yields as we'll. He said that James
Kays, of Howell Prairie, had sixty
acres that yielded fifteen bushels to the
acre; Thos. Hubbard, few miles
north of Salem, had sixty acres that
turned out only seven'bushels per acre;
IF. Anderson, of Howell Prairie,
threshed the yield of fve-acre field
and realized only seven bushels per
acre, while the rest of the crop went
twenty-one bushels to the acre; John
Herren, of Salem Prairie, had field
of seventy acres that produced an aver
aoe of seventeen bushels per acre.
Taken as a whole the yield of this
valley is considerably below the aver
age per acre of former years.

The Ohio Supreme Court Tuesday rem
dered It's decision In the Scott law cases
involving The question whether the taxes
paid under the law before the law was
declared unconstitutional shall be re-
turned to the parties who paid them or
whether the money shall remain In the
treasury,
The court decided that the taxes paid
cannot be returned, but must remain In
the treasury. The conrt held that what
ever was done under this law before its
unconstitutionallty was declared cannot
now be undone,
This settles the matter 80 far as this
particular point 10 concerned. There
will be no money paid back TO the ga
looms that paid taxes under the Scott
law. This declslon was affirmed by three
members Of the court, Judges Johnson
and Mclllvaine, Republicans, and Judge
Owens, Democrat. judges 0key and
FOllet, both Democrats, dlssented.

may have been aud probably WAS right
In his efforts to settle peacefully and by
arbitration the Russo-Afghan dispute,
but the fact that many Of his supporters
we're absenu when The vote on the beer
tax was taken, shows plainly that his
course had allenated them from him.
The collapse Of the Gladstone Gov
ernment on the eve Of q Parliamentary
election means the collapse OF the
Liberal party also. Bat this ia a thing
which Ia not to be regretted. The Lib
eral party all along has been composed
OF widely different elements-the Wings
and the Radicals. The former will
now, no doubt, ally themselves with the
Conservatives, with whom they have
many things In common; while the
Radicals, uader the leadership OF Dixie,
Chamberlln and Morley, will join for.
tunes with the Nationalists, and
upon a platform advocating better
land laws, broader franchise and
Home Rule for Ireland, begin battle
which will reyolutlonlze the political
aud social life OF the English people,
and end forever the government OF
England by the aristocracy.
