rREE RAW SUGAR

The Journals happy 10 find that what it
has advocated is TO be adopted by congress.
The republicans Of the Ways and Means COM
mittee Of The house have decided 10 admit raw
sugar fee Of duty and offer a bounty for the
production Of domestic sugar. ! he high tariff
on ,ugar, although retained for many years
with the idea Of encouraging the production Of
sugar in the United states, never accomplished
that object.-SaIem Journal.
On the contrary, the DEMOCRAT would re.
gret very much TO see the republicans sugar
scheme carried out. The preceden. would be
and hurtful. There ale reasons
for putting sugar on The free list, bu, none
whatever for giving a bounty TO home pro-
ducers. II, under verr high duty. winch, for
years, has been levied upor sugar, there has
been no such increase in the production as
would justify the hope that the whole people
Of the country could be supplied with the home
product. then how could any one hope that
under bounty oftwo cents the industry could
be further developed here when raw sugar is
admitted free ofduty.

REPORT OF rns GRAND jury.

To the honorable, the circuit court OF
the county Of Linn and state Of Ore
gon; we, the grand jury for the March
term, ask permission 10 submit the
following report, to-wit:
We have visited and examined the
several county Offices and would recon-
mend the following:
First That the wood-ehed attached 10
tho Jail on the west end be removed far
enough 10 let the sun dry said premises
and aiao give the prisoners In that part
Of the Jail sunlight, and at the same
time give better opportunity 20 watch
the iail In ease of danger. We would
also recommend that the jail yard be
generally cleaned up; that the ashes and
rubbish Of various kinds be hauled away
in the interest Of cleanliness and health.
ION the inside ol the Jail We find the
north aide In dIlapitated condition, but
find Il impracticable 10 recommend any
improvement without enlarging the
| premises, or building new jail and buy
| Ing new furniture, bedding, etc. We
| find the water pipes leading to the watei
closet on both sides Of the Jail burnted
and recommend that the same be mended
or replaced with new ones. We have
locked through the various county Of
fees, including the county school super
| intendent's office, sheriil7s office, count.
| treasuFer's Office, county clerk and rs
cordcr's Office, and find them all In /
respectable condition.
We would recommend the removal 0
a snaaIl stove from the recorders Office
which mars its otherwise neat appear

On asking the price Of some apples the
Man About Town was told 7 cents n
pound. How much would that make a
bnshel. You are wrong, ID would only
make about s2 so. Now, bushcl in the
spring only weighs about 40 poands in
the summer about so pounds. In this
land Of red apples that Is good price
but being as scarce as diamonds OF course

Mas T HopKlss, Sec.


GETTING Eygs.-Farmers,a ,as class, are
supposed TO be noted for their honesty,
and we believe that generally the sup
position is correct but there is a certain
class Of dishonesty NO insidious that spe-
cial care should be taken against It. The
editor happened to be in certain store
in Hillsboro the other day when farmer
whom we have. known for years and in
whose honesty we have every confidence,
came in with butter 10 sell. The mer-
chant thought the rolls looked small and
upon weighing them it was found they
weighed but 4 pound and three-quarters
each, instead OF two pounds. II was then
evident that moulds had been used that
would not hold two pounds of butter.
We believe that ii there Is not there
should be 0 law against selling short
weight rolls OF butter. The rolls are sup
posed TO weigh two pounds each and
whenever they do not the purchaser Is
swindled. The Grange could not do bet
ter work for the farmers than to take this
matter up and see that it is reformed.
The farmers as o class cannot afford to
loose their honesty. Hillsboro Democrat.
