INVITING COLONIES.
The Oregon Land Company ha

The Oregon Land Company has
adopted a plan that has great
deal of merit. 1t is planning to
locate whole colonies of eastern
people on large fruit tracts near
Salem. Half the letters this office
receives from the east speaks of
plans of forming colonies to come
west. This system has many ad
vantages. A colony can get bet
ter passenger and freight rates, the
trip together and the location in a
body make their excursion to a
far-off strange land far more pleas
ant. In such companies people
not only enjoy themselves better,
but can get better terms all
around, and be helpful to one
another during the first years OF
struggle. The feeling of lonesome
ness and home sickness that is
such terror to women and young
people, and even some men, is
overcome by the colony plan.
The Oregon Land Company has
struck the right thing in this and
it will result in immigration by
colonies in place Of families

The accomplishments Of the
Alliance legislatures when COM
pared with the ante election prom
ises Of the stump speakers of that
organization is as a mustard seed
to a mountain. All of which
shows that it is much easier to
promise relief than to give it.
The farmers have grievances, Sc
rious grievances, which must be
righted before the industrious til
lers OF the soil will ENJOY the pros
perity to which they are justly en-
titled; but, we think, and we be-
lieve that the time will soon come
when a great majority of the mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance will
think with us, that the republican
party, which has always been the
best friend of the working men, is
the source from which practical
relief will come

OUR English friends are getting
a little worried over the tremen-
lous speed which the cruisers OF
our new navy are developing. 1t
will be remembered that England
subsidies her lines of swift mail
steamers on condition that the YES
sells shall be armed and put into
special service in case of war.
Now it appears that our cruisers
have developed such speed as to
make it certain that English mail
steamers could be caught and de-
stroyed by them should hostilitles
begin. Hence the worry of oul
friends across the pond.

WHAT is craftsmanship? Helping
to add to the greatness of the
country, commercially as we'll as
politically. Making a profitable
market for million barrels OF
flour to say nothing of other
American products and manufac-
tures,. as the new Cuban reciprocity
treaty recently made with Spain
will do, is the republican admins
tration's idea of craftsmanship,
and it is one that every patriotic
citizen can enthusiastically en-
dorse.

The New York Herald is rot
out of the way in the least when
it says: "Our immigration laws
are not half stringent enough.
Neither are they enforced with
energy enough. If man is of
any use to us, let him come in.
If he has money or skill we shall
be glad to see him. But if he has
nothing but rheumatism and beg
gary to contribute to the general
welfare, if he comes from poor
house at home for the sake Of a
change of diet in an American
poor house, we not only don't
want him but we wont have him.
If he insists on coming the only
thing to do is to send him back.
AS for men with brains, all right;
as for knaves, cut -throats and pau
pers, Europe is welcome to them
and can keep them.

In the interests Of the import
ant fruit industry of our state The
Astorian directs attention to the
fact that on fruit now arriving
from California is the dreaded
San Jose scale. This insect has
cost California millions of dollars.
So far our state is comparatively
free from it, but if fruit, oranges,
etc., covered with the insect and
it's larvae, are allowed to enter the
the state it will not be long till
our Oregon fruit will be devasta-
ted in the same way that Califor-
MIA fruit has been. Next to wheat
and salmon our fruit interests are
of most Importance, and the day
will come when if judiciously
fostered, Oregon's fruit will be
first in Importance. In this re-
gard "an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound Of cure" About
three years ago a fool professor in
a Medford, Mass, college, import
ed bug or worm that he turned
loose to see what it would do. 1t
proved to be the dreaded "gypsy
moth" The result of the college
mans experiment can be best
judged. when we state that last
year the Massachusetts legislature
appropriated $4,000 as gift to
some one to devise some success

setts orchards Of that fruit de-
stroyer.-Astorian.

IT may be a matter of interest
to some very good people, and it
is certainly matter of justice to
the president himself, that the fact
should be known that President
Harrison, and every person of his
party on the present tour, pays
the regular railroad fare to the
Pacific coast and return. The
Pullman company furnished the
train without extra charge, and all
railroads haul it for the regular
per cent. An offer was made. to
convey the party without expense,
which President Harrison very
sensiby refused.

THE FACTS ARE BEST.

The Oregonian has had its usual
Coos bay grapevine special that
the steam schooner Geo. II.
Chance was bar bound at Yaquina
bay. This as usual is misrepre
sentation. The truth is, that last
Wednesday she had laid up at
Alsea Bay, Waldport, just a week
bar bound, and not much show OF
getting off. Coming from Port
land the Chance put into Newport
and discharged freight, getting out
with no delay. The persistent ly-
ing about Yaquina to advance
Coos bay interests will not help
that region nor the Oregonian.
The general opinion of seamen is
that Yaquina bar is fully as good.
if not better than the bar at Coos
bay, and both are better than
Alsea.
The facts are best in all these
matters, we think. There is u to
IA feet of water on Alsea bar at
ordinary high tide. The Chance
IS reported drawing 10 to II feet.

The Swiss have a queer system
of taxation. The poorer man is
the less proportionately is his rate
of taxation. That is, we will say,
if a man is worth 100000, and
the rate of taxation is two per
cent, he has to pay $4,000. If he
is worth $4,000 he will pay, not
$1,000, but $3.50. If worth but
$4,000 he will pay $3.50, and so
on down to $4,000, when he scarce
ly pays anything. Then, every
body makes his own assessment,
but after a mans death the govern
ment carefully investigates his
estate, and if he has been defraud-
ing the treasury, it collects the
back taxes with interest.

Commenting on the launch of
the Monterey in the presence of
President Harrison on Tuesday,
the Chronicle says he could not

not in government shipyards, but
in private yards, competing keen

Tulare made a happy hit i'll re-

IT is daily becoming more ap-
parent that no considerable body
of republicans favor the issuing of
a currency by the Government
that may be worth less than one

wealthy man and one for the la
boring toiler. Dollars are like
