THE OREGON AFFAIR ExPLAINED

The Democrats and Mugwumps are very busy in explaining" the recent affair in Oregon. And they make queer work of it. They feel sure that Oregon has not yet felt the impulse of the tariff reform movement. It would have been unreasonable to look for it so soon. There has been large immigra- tion to the State for some time past, and for some reason not clearly explained the immi- grants seem to be all Republicans. More- over, there is not single daily Democratic or tariff reform newspaper in the State. The Portland Oregonian formerly had Jennings that way, but has lately been strongly Re publican. Again, there have been Demo- ocratio emissaries in Oregon, making speeches and otherwise exerting themselves and the speeches and exertions have preju
 diced the people against the cause. PTesi- dent Cleveland, too, is unpopular in Oregon
 because he would not sign the river and har-
 Dor bill and thereby prevented the improve msnt of the Columbia river, so essential to the welfare of the State. Another reason is that the Oregon people are interested in
 wool and lumber, and believe that these in- terests would be injuriously affected by the passage of the Mills bill or by the acceptance of the policy of the presidents message, and the traders, who are Republicans, encourage
 this delusion by telling the farmers and lumbermen that they cannot give so good prices for their produce as they could afford if the markets were not unsettled by the pendency of hostile legislation. And finally, Oregon, the free traders say, is not doubt ful State anyway, and never was. "It is naturally and regularly Republican State; it is Republican this year."
 The New York Times makes perhaps the { most sensible explanation when it says:
 t'There are delusions of long standing to be dispelled and fallacies of great tenacity to be exposed, but under the discussions of a heated canvass common sense and reason are
 sure to prevail in the end" They have pre- vailed in Oregon.

 It has become a frequent custom among merchants to mark their goods at odd prices such as 23, 47, or 99 cents. A New York dealer said the other day: "You would be surprised to see what an inducement these markings are to customers. The return of two or three cents in change seems small matter, but long observation has taught me that many person will buy an article for 29 cents, for example, which he would not buy if it were marked 25 cents" The principle also extends to comparatively high priced goods, which are often marked certain number of dollars and an odd number of cents. The odd price is almost invariably so fixed as to be slightly less than the value of some coin in common use, the idea being to tempt the purchaser by the return of the small amount in change

In Denmark it is becoming customary for
 friends to send to the relatives of person
 who has died what is called 'sGood Works Cardn in place of the usual floral tributes.
 These cards are of white pasteboard, printed in silver, and are issued by various charitable organizations. On each card is the name of the society which issues it; in the center is an ivy leaf on which the name of the de- ceased may be written, and at the foot is g space for the name of the sender. The ides appears to be a sensible one, as by sending these cards people can show their sympathy for those in sorrow and at the same time d. l something for their favorite charity. A

Coffee culture is not difficult It is very profitable. And coffee plantation in bloom
 planter decides to begin at the beginning and
 create his own "fnca," or coffee plantation,
 there is first the selection of ground. This is not difficult, for coffee thrives anywhere in proper climate and fairly well-drained soil A level surface is not necessary,
 though usually chosen. Hillside reaches and even hillocks answer admirably. The selec- ton of seed is simply matter of choice Seeding is carried on after this fashion: Ar especially rich bit of ground is chosen where 1 the semillero or seed-bed is made. In this | in drills not over one inch deep and abou ten inches apart, the coffee-beans, stripped I of their outer husk, but retaining the second or inner shells, are gently laid and barrel.

singerly's Blooded Horses.

The appeal publishes the follow
ing description of Mr.. Singerly's
Kentucky Hamb letonian Stock
which will interest our readers who
are fond of good horses; and we
guess they all are:
When we reached the track Mr..
Crouch was exercising one of his
two year old horses, which was moy-
ing along very nicely and gives prom
Use of much speed. The stables have
very much the appearance of an ap.
preaching Fair, and if stranger
was to enter that part of the grounds
no doubt he would think so from the
number of sulkys, road carts, trotting
wagons and Kentucky carts that are
standing ready for use in front of the
stables.
After pleasant chat with Mr..
Crouch the horses were inspected.
The first one reached was the noble
stallion Star Durock," whose reg
istcred number is 1913 This is a
handsome brown stallion, sired by
Messenger Durock, son of Rydyke's
Hambletonian; dam. Lorillard mare
by Seeley's American Star. 'Star
Durock" was bred by Louis L. Lor-
lizard, of New York, from whom he
purchased by Mr. Singerly short was
time since. Star Durock" made q
record as a three year old of 2.421.
His present record is 2 25a, which he
made in the sixth heat of the race.
This horse is pronounced by horse
men to be one of the finest animals
ever on the Fair Grounds.
"Marion L. was the next one
viewed, and a noble, fine looking
mare she is. She is of bay color,
5 years old, and l6 hands high. This
mare has record as a four year old
OF 239. She will be placed on the
stock farm which Mr.. Singerly pur-
chased last week.
Mr.. Crouch's pet, "Cecil," was next
presented to our view. "Cecir' is a
bay stallion, with black points, two
years old, by Messenger Chief He
is an inbred Hambletonian, and half
brother to Maud Messenger, who has
a record of 2.16z. Mr. Crouch in
formed US that he expected Cecil"
to show as much speed as Maud, and
we wouldn't be surprised if he should
surpass her record.
We were next shown two bay FLIES
two year olds, by Messenger Chief.
These fillies are both broken, and
are exercised every morning by Mr..
Crouch, who informed us that they
give promise OF being very speedy.
"May S." was the next one seen on
our tour of inspection She is
very pretty roam mare, four years old.
and full sister of katherine S. who
trotted as four year old in 2.25S
Mr.. Crouch next conducted us to
the stalls of Mr.. Singerly's private
drivers, Loretta and .Langtry.
These are very handsome pair of
mares and are quite speedy.
''Leretta" has record of 2.42 to
road wagon. "Langtry' has no rec
ord. They have been driven in 2.45
to the pole.
Mr.. Crouch also has "Roan Ben"
and "Sagwa" under his care.
The balance of nine colts are ex-
pected from Lexington this month.
One of them, two year old, was
driven in 8 minutes a few days ago.
1t is only just to say we think Mr..
Singerly has selected the right man
to manage lis stock of horses, as Mr..
Crouch is an excellent horseman, and
understands horses thoroughly.
