THE Enquirer is indulging in bonn
bastic Earangue against this paper rel |
ative to the method we have of pro-
curing telegraphic news. The object |
of this is to establish the impression |
that THE DISPATCH is not reliable and |
its owners dishonest. As to the hon
esty of the stockholders OF THE DIS
PATCH their records are before the peo-
pie. As to the reliability of this paper,
the public are the best judges, and the
increase in the subscription list of
this paper is something alarming and
is painful to the Enquirer. And now
to stop this bombast, we ask the En-
qltirer to prefer direct charges and
prove them, too. If it es
tablishes the fact that we are
doing any dishonest work, we will pay
it handsomely for its work, for if we
are dishonest we want to know it. We

Grower.

The beet growers on the low lands
near Lehl are some cases disposed tn
give their brrts too much water at this
late day. In examining their fields we
frequently find patch of beets with
such luxurious leaves and juicy roots
that the further application of water is
seen to be clearly useless and often ar-
tually injurious. 1t must he remen
bered that the strictly growing process
of the beets is, to large extent, sus-
pended during the last few weeks Of its
fe and that the plant is then busy
celebrating and storing up sugar
through the Office of the leaves.
In most cases the soil of the low
lands near Lehi contain sufficient mois-
ture now to ensure proper vegetation.
If The beet shows a crisp, luXuriant fo-
liage and tender, juicy root, it would be
Il waste of time and water to irrigate:
and, moreover, it would leave thequal-
lty of the beet and work positive in
jury
Considerable caution must he exer-
cised then in applying water at this
season, Unless signs of drought are
yery plain do not irrigate.-Banner.

THE PAPER'S PART.

The editor of a newspaper is a
pungently pointed publicator, who
points with a pardonable pride to
the prosperity and peace of the
people. To be popular, his paper
must print the proceedings pecul-
lar to peoples wants, prop up pub
lie proclaimers, puncture priv
legged pilferers, paint pictures of
purity on the personalities of pu-
sillanimous politicians, and preach
problems to please public pecul-
iarities. Personal pufs are part
OF the papers programme, in
which persons who pretend to be
popular, pose as patrons of the
publication, but borrow it from
persons who patronize and pay
the printer. We can easily see
the power of the paper in publish
ing things pertaining to public
progression, and the advertisers
of a populace who pull out their
purses to push the printer into
paths of prosperity, will soon be
popular with the people, the pa
per proves pleasant for public pc
rusal, and prosperity proudly pre-
walls. We call attention to these
things to show the Importance to
the citizens of Corvallis, of pat
ronizing its home papers. The
way to boom a town is to keep up
your home papers by proper pat
and they will do the rest.
What the papers publish of our
business men, and the movements
in favor of public enterprises in
our midst, will afford a sufficient
boom to any constantly growing
community. We haven't prevari-
Gated a particle in placing these
points in the paper for the perusal
of our patrons.

OUR TARIFF RECORD.

For the year ending June 80,
1891, embracing nine months OF
Mckinley tariff, the customs reve
nue. was $4,000, O,OOO-a falling
off of $10,0O0,OO0 when compared
with the revenue of the preceding
year. This reduction in revenue
was made despite an increase of
$55, 100000 in the value of i'm
ports, says an exchange.
For the present fiscal year, end
ing June 80, 1S92-during the
twelve months of which the Nc
Kinley law will be operative-the
tariff revenue is estimated at $1S5,
900, 0,OO0-a decrease of $4,000,
600 when compared with the 1891
year, and of $44,OOO,O00 when
compared with the 1890 year. The
Mckinley law may may be said
to have reduced the tariff revenue
about $45, 100000 a year.
During the year, embracing
only nine months of Mckinley
tariff as noted above, the value of
goods admitted free of duty in
creased $118,O00,OOO. The value
of goods subject to tariff duties
decreased $1O7,O0O,OO0. The ad-
ditions to the free list made by
the Mckinley law thus increased
the percentage of free goods from
"a per cent. during the previous
year to 4S per cent. and decreased
the proportion of dutiable goods
from sc to 50 per cent.
During the six months ending
with September 80, during which
the sugar provisions of the McKin-
ley law were operative, the pro-
portions of all imports admitted
free was 55 per cent. and the pro-
portion of dutiable goods was 45
per cent.
The Mckinley law has not only
reduced the revenue but has re-
lieved the people from the burden
of many purely revenue duties
which simply served to enhance
the price of non-competing i'm
ported goods to the consumer.

MILLS refuses the second place
on the ways and means commit
tee offered him by Speaker Crisp.
He also refuses to suggest name
for the appointment, but is willing
to accept any other assignment OF
the speaker. Mills is not in the
right humor just now to accept
courtesies from Crisp, and he will
not likely regard democratic
movements with any degree of sat
isfaction.

THE GILLIAN INBROGLIO.

One of the most extraordinary
instances of popular folly that has
ever been displayed by any people
in the history of the world is now
being exhibited by the Chilians,
says the San Jose Mercury. Their
rage and fury against the United
States is almost incredible in its
bitterness and in the extent to
which it is manifested. No one
has ever been able to find out the
slightest reason for it. The seiz-
ure of the Itata could hardly have
been the cause of such wide
spread frenzy, and there has been
literally nothing else that could
have given the most hot-headed
an excuse for flying into passion
against us. In all this froth and
fury there would have been for us
no more than a mere farce were it
not for the fact that the vindic-
tive Chilians have not been con-
tent with merely uttering their
denunciations, but have in mo-
ment of wild hatred struck down
in the streets of Valparaiso num-
Der of American sailors. The blood
of these men gives a tragic impor-
tance to the rage of the most fool
ish declaimers. 1t is no longer
question now of why they hate us,
nor of what their hatred amounts
to. Nothing remains for us but to
convince these people that an
American sailor, sent by the Unit
ed States Government to foreign
port carries with him to that port
all the might and majesty of the
republic. He cannot be assailed
with impunity, and the United
States, however friendly she may
be to Chill. or however contemptu-
ously Indifferent to the anger of
the Valparaiso mobs, neither can
nor will neglect to enforce her
claim for reparation for the muir
der Of her seamen. This being the
case, it cannot be denied that at |
the present juncture the continu-
ance of peace is dubious. The
Chilians seem to be too angry to
deal sensibly with US, and the
wrong they have done us is too
gross for us to be any longer leni-
ent.

SENATOR MITcHELL's bill for an
amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of sen
ators by direct vote of the peo.
pie, is going to have a hearing in
the PRESENT congress. This bill
will likely have some partisan op-
position, but it is receiving popu-
lar approval generally by the press
of the country. The election of
senators by a direct vote would
bring this department of govern

the people, and thus prevent
many of the fraudulent contracts
of legislative assemblies in the
choice of senators. ssThe people

HENRY WILLARD is reported to
be once more sinking under finan-
cial difficulties. If the report
should prove true this will be
the third time he has gone under,
and it is not likely that he Will
ever rise again. No one among
the daring spectators on Wall
street have had such vicissitudes
as he. He rose from poverty to
great wealth in five years, and
during the past decade he has
twice been utterly broken and
twice restored. Such a life must
involve a great mental strain, and
few men can retain their conf
dence and courage after three sue
cessive failures for such great
amounts in SO short a time. If
Willard should do so, he would
himself to be really the most ex-
traordinary man that has ever
been on the street.

On account OF the steady rains
this fall only about one-half the
usual amount of fall grain has been
sown in Benton county so far this
season, and reports from all parts
of the Willamette valley indicate
the same condition of affairs. But
our farmers are by no means dis
couraged, for early winter rains is
good indication of an early
spring. Thus, it can safely be said
that Benton county will have the
largest acreage of spring grain next
year III its history.

The New York Herald's last

The New York Herald's last
Sundays Wall street article paints
these things with rather a roseate
hue, as witness these excerpts /:
"Despite the dragging and saggine
of the Wizards properties and
the rumors of defalcations and all
the rest of the bear efforts, the
market during the week has ma
terially broadened and improved.
Money is SO plentiful and so diff
cult to employ at even cheap rates
that an increase of activity in the
bond market was a matter OF
course. A very large trade in
bonds is being done over the coun-
ters of banking houses, but aside
from this the dealings in bonds on
the Stock Exchange during the
week ran above 81, 100000, as
against $7,50O,OOO for the cores
ponding week one year ago. Many
of the dividend paying properties
in whose management the public
has confidence were also in keen
demand for investment. AS to
the general conditions underlying
the market they continue most IA
vorable. Money in plethora, .ex-
ports of wheat enormous, gold ar
Mving from abroad, the silver mill
grinding out new currency every
day, railroads unable to get cars
enough to transport the grain
pressing upon them, the iron in
dustry taking a new start, no great
strikes in progress, no trouble an
ticipated from congress-in short,
peace and prosperity throughout
the republic. There are a few
shaky spots here and there, but it
would be difficult to imagine a
more generally satisfactory condi-
ton of affairs this side of the mil
lenium."
