And, now, again the cheering news goes in
all directions that Oregon will have fair crops
again. Potatoes will be an abundant crop,
Fruits and berries will more than I'll the de-
mani. Good prices would make times excel
lent, but the prospect Of the passage ofthe Nc
Kinley and the consequent Obstruction offoreign
commerce makes the outlook anything but
hopefui.

Republican papers are busy in telling how
much antagonism there is between Cleveland
and Hill. These papers should spare their
pains. Governor Hill has too much good
sense to antagonize Cleveland, and Cleveland
only antaganizes the robber tariff anu its de-
tenders.

COUNTY RECORDER.

Both parties of this county passed
resolutions at their conventions favor
ing the election of recorder for the
county. The measure was brought
up for action at the last session of the
Legislature, though was defeated
through the efforts of number OF the
leading republicans. AS several other
counties of the state now have re-
corder, there is no reason why Benton
should not have one also.-Benton
Leader, May 9.
The Leader should be careful when
it makes assertions like the above.
The question was never before the
Legislature in any shape to be defeated
by leading republicans. There was
petition for bill to divide this Office
with some 200 signatures on it; there
was also a remonstance to the petition
signed by over 400 citizens of the
county. The republican convention
was the first to recommend a county
recorder.
