DOOMED TO SHORT EEFE.

Someone has been making a
postal card canvas Of the farmers
of the United States and the re,
suits have been somewhat interest,
ing if not surprising. Some 10,
600 inquiries were sent out, and it
must be said that the economic
views of the farmers are shown to
be unexpectedly moderate. They
want state agricultural colleges,
But are divided ON the question of
state ownership of railroads.
They are also divided on the tariff
and reciprocity, and display no
extraordinary expectations on the
financial question. This might be
regarded as a point in favor of the
real farmers, showing that they
have more sense than their self
appointed representatives in poll
tics.
But the most instructive of all
is the disposition Of the farmers
regarding a farmer candidate for
the presidency. They divide their
votes among prominent leaders of
both parties, Cleveland getting
two thirds of the democratic vote,
and Blaine more than one-third Of
the republican. This is strong
evidence that the farmers, like
other citizens, will vote their polit-
ical habits and convictions on pres
idential years regardless of alliance
movements and the efforts of dem
agogues to stir up class feeling
among them.
Considering this feeling and
disposition among the farmers, it
is quite probable that the alliance
party will be a short lived one

THE LEGISLATURE,

The legislature Of Oregon, that
has just convened at its regular
biennial session, says West Shore,
will be called upon to enact the
most important legislation demand
ed of any legislature since Oregon
became a state, and the people
have natural interest in knowing
something about the men to whom
such vital interests are entrusted.
Upon examination it appears that
there are twenty-three republi-
cans and seven democrats in the
senate and forty-two republicans
and eighteen democrats in the
house, giving the republicans a
majority of forty on joint ballot.
The significance of this is that it
insures the election of a republican
successor to Senator Mitchell and
renders the republican party Who'll
ly responsible for the legislation
of the session, since it has two
thirds majority in each house.
Separated into groups, there are
twenty-nine farmers and stock
raisers, nineteen merchants, fifteen
attorneys, eight manufacturers,
four bankers, four physicians, two
real estate dealers, two mechanics,
one accountant and one school
teacher. This shows a pretty fair
representation of the leading bust
ness elements of the state, and
augurs we'll for the passage of en-
lightened legislation. The young
est member of the senate is Jeff
Myers, Of Scio, and of the house
W. e. Thomas, Of Portland. The
Oldest member of the senate is J.
@. Carson, of Portland, and of the
house, John Mimic, of Salem. Mr..
Myers and Mr.. Mimic are respect
lively the youngest and oldest in
the entire body. Less than one
third of them have been members
of previous legislatures, and are to-
that extent free from the unpro-
gressive spirit of their predeces-
sors. Nine only are of foreign
birth, nine of the others being ma
tives of Oregon

DEMOCRATIC and Mugwamp edi-
tors who were so certain only two
months ago that the protection
given to tin plate by the Mckinley
bill would never be OF any pratical
benefit to the United States, and
that no tin plate would ever be
manufactured in this country, had
a big dish of crow for their New
Years dinner, for only a few days
before that time, the first shipment
of American tin-plate was put up
on the market by the Pittsburg
mills, and before the next New
Year rolls around, it is believed
that the mills now in process OF
erection at Brooklyn, st Louis.
Baltimore and other places will
supply every sheet of tin-plate
used in this country, and that a
new and great industry, hitherto
enjoyed by Europe, will have been
established in America, and profit
able employment given to- thous-
ands Of men who would otherwise
be without it.

AN effort is very wisely being
made to pass legislation authoriz.
ing the state to- have the session
laws printed in various county
papers in the state: The idea is
predicated upon two bases, viz;
The curtailment of expensesin@ the
publication of these laws as
now done, and the more gen
eral dissemination of knowledge
ooncerning-their character and ap-
plication. The expense will be
ourtaileds at leat fifty per cent. and
the laws will be in the hands OF
every newspaper reader as a. guild
ance in the direction Of his own
interests. AS now printed the
laws reach the tables of the pro-
tessional men mainly, while OF
their provisions the masses are in
absolute ignorance.

WHEA T RAISING IN OREGON.

J. " 11G<1 II W. Nv OhEGON.
1t is quite gratifying to notice in
several of our exchanges that Mr..
lSo-and-so has concluded to plant
out this fall several hundred fruit
bearing trees, principally prunes.
Now then, there is one of two
things, either Mr.. So-and-so is a
new conner to this state or else he
is a farmer with progressive ideas
and has long since learned that
there is no money to be made in
raising broad acres of wheat at the
ruling prices of to-day. Many of
the farmers in the Willamette val
ley raise nothing else but wheat :;
not spear Of hay do they cut be-
cause they have none, they feed
| their stock on wheat straw in the
winter. Go into their excuse of
an orchard, the few trees that stand
are covered with moss or lichens :;
the limbs are strangers to the
pruning knife, while the fruit from
the trees is worse than none at
all. How about the garden? There
is nothing worth mentioning.
Eight out of twelve Of these farm
ers buy their garden produce in
town and then haul it home. Two
thirds of them are without milk
for their morning cup Of coffee.
Why? The COWS were allowed to
go dry in the summer because the
wheat season was at hand and they
had no time to look after the COWS,
and if there is butter on the table
for his hot cakes, he can thank
someone else for it, and at the
same time pay fancy prices for it
at the store when he sells his
wheat. Why, bless your soul, he
even buys his flour at the store,
and although lie has bushels and
bushels of wheat in the bin he has
never tasted a morsel of bread
made from the flour of the wheat
that he raised on his own farm.
In the fall he may have a few
dollars to jingle in his pocket aft
er he has paid his store bill-provid-
ing the market happened TO be in
his favor a few cents.
Wheat raising tor profit in Ore
gOn is failure, there must be
more diversified farming to be a
success. Every month in the year
farmer who has more than one
idea in his head, can have some
kind Of produce or something he
has raised on the farm to sell.
But such is not the case; all other
branches must be sacrificed for his
broad acres of wheat. and we hail
with pleasure that there is a lively
tendency to transform the wheat
fields into prune orchards.-Port-
land Examiner.

THE INDIANS.

| General Miles has taken per-
sonal command Of the forces at the
seat of war. We may now look fol
an energetic prosecution of the
war to the end. Yet it is sad
yes, it is criminal-that our brave
boys must be exposed to the ter
rible inclemencies of a western
winter, hunting down these pam
pered savages and exposed to the
dangers of Indian warfare. Why
is this? Simply because a lot of
impractical sentimentalists really
forced the Government into put
ting the charge of Indian affairs
into the control of the Interior de-
partment instead of the War de-
partment, where it belongs. We
have already lost lives more valu-
able than all the redskins of the
whole Sioux nation. There will
be many more lives necessarily
sacrificed, and toll, hardship and
suffering endured because we have
been foolish and soft in dealing
with the savages. We have re-
served some of the best sections of
the country for their use; kept our
own people off their lands, fed
them, clothed them, tried to teach
them agriculture; allowed them
to roam at will over these reserva-
tions in idleness; let Them arm
and mount their warriors while
supported by the Government.
Now we have got to spend millions
in trying to protect peaceful set
tiers and in making good Indians
Of these savages by killing them
off.
No uncivilized Indian in Amer
lea should be permitted to have a
gun or a pony. Disarm every one.
of whatever tribe, who have had
land allotted to- them. Teach
them how to plow and SOW and
plant, always with oxen, and if
they cannot make a living let them
60 to the wall as we do our own
people. They are NO better and
have no more natural ri ghts than
whites. 1t is simply stupid and
cruel to arm them and support
them to shoot down our brothers
and sons and murder defenseless
women and children. 1t has TAX
en- some time to learn this lesson;
but we think that our former ex-
periences in Arizona and these re-
cent scenes Of treachery and blood
shed ought to instill some sense
into our policy of Indian manage
ment.-San Jose Mercury.

THE feeling in the business
world for the new year is distinctly
hopeful and confident. The gen.
eral business of the country is on
a sound basis, the demand for all
staple articles is good, nobody is
overloaded with surplus stock of
goods, and there is every prospect
of a prosperous twelvemonth.
The same thing is true of our in
dustries. The workingmen are
fully employed, there is a notable
absence of wage-troubles of any
dimensions anywhere in the Unit
ed States; manufacturers are con-
fident that the present conditions
are sound and stable, and antici-
pate a continuance of them during g
1891. The financial furry is prac-
tically over, and money promises
to be plenty for all legitimate pur-
poses. If the farmer shall be bles-
sed with good crops, there is no
reason that one year hence we
shall not look back upon a year
still more favorable than the one
inst closed.

and this little lad slashed and hacked away
at the neck of the defenseless pirate. 1t
was awful. After the heads were off the
children Of the village came down to the
beach, accompanied by their mothers, and
they threw stones at the heads. The heads
were afterwards stuck up on poles for the
v~ultures to peck at.
"It was Admiral Fong who caused tho
execution of these men and some time after
he caught fifteen more of the villains and
cut their heads off. The pirate crowd was
very powerful, however, and one day a sailor
on board the admiral's ship was bribed to
quietly stop the old man from further in
cursions into the ranks of the lawiess free
hooters. This assassin found an opportu-
nifty and slipped some poison into the ad-
miral's tea and the admiral died. So that
is why the Chinese navy hasn't any real
commander at the head of it,"
