Mr.. HARRISON has earned by
hard work the vacation he is now
taking, and by his intelligent and
statesmanlike manner of conduct
ing his administration he has
shown himself to be fully entitled
to the ovations he is certain to re-
ceive at every point at which he
stops. An effort should be made
to have the president and his party
visit Corvallis.

ONE by one the charming patri-
otic stories of our childhood are
proven to be myths. Rev. Mon
cure d. Conway, for many years
an industrious student of the his
tory of George Washington, has
published a magazine article to
prove that Frederick the Great
did not send Washington sword
inscribed From the oldest general
in the world to the greatest" or in
fact any sword, and further, that
there isn't the slightest evidence
for believing that Frederick was at
all impressed with Washington's
greatness. Fie, fe upon you Mr..
Conway, you should have kept the
discovery to yourself. The legend
was entirely too good to be thus
ruthlessly destroyed.

In view of recent occurrences it
would seem proper that a law
should be enacted compelling all
foreigners who come to this coun-
try with the intention of engaging
in business, IN any capacity, to re-
nounce allegiance to their former
country and make application for
citizenship in our own. At first
glance such a law would appear to
be unnecessarily harsh; but it isn't.
Its opponents will charge that it
will restrict immigration, and it
WILL, and that is just what this
country has got to do sooner OF
later, the sooner the better, and In
what better way can it be done
than by compelling all foreigners
desirous of enjoying the advan,
tages of living in this country to
declare their intention of becom.
ing American citizens?

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

One of the most thoughtful arti-
cles that has appeared in the
North American Review for long
time is that of the Hon. j. M.
Rusk, secretary of agriculture, on
what he terms the ''Duty of the
Hour. This duty, he declares, is
for all intelligent patriotic states
men s:to undertake at once all
earnest thoughtful study of Amer
lean agriculture to acquaint them
selves with the needs and condi-
tions of American farmers" The
farmers, he asserts, were forced
into their present political attitude
by the fact that they are not receiv-
ing their due share of the prosper
ity of the country. 1t is true that
the farmer of to-day is much bet
ter off than the farmer of fifty
years ago, but this is no answer to
the complaint, nor does it justify
the unequal distribution of good
things among the various classes
of the community. Moreover, the
very fact that his condition has
improved makes the farmer more
eager for his full share of the gen.
eral prosperity of the country.
His improved advantages have
enabled him to grow in intelli-
gence and he sees, therefore. more
clearly and realizes more painfully
the widening gulf between the
prosperity of the rich man of the
city and the condition of the resi-
dent of the country. Politicians
have been neglecting the farming
interests all along until now the
farmers have been compelled to
assert themselves. There are now,
says Mr.. Rusk, 100000 farms in
this country on which 100000
workers toll unremittingly, and by
the product of their labors are all
other industries maintained, and
Is per cent of our exports are the
products of agriculture. Despite
these facts the department of our
government which receives the
least consideration and is endowed
with the smallest appropriation is
that of agriculture. 1t is, there
fore, evident that some change
must be made in the way in which
farmers have been treated and to
study carefully how their demands
may be met and justly complied
with is one of the supreme duties
of our political life.

ALASKA NoTA "sUcKED ORANGE"

1t is no wonder that New York
capitalists were willing to back
Captain Carroll. for the purchase
of Alaska, with twice the sum paid
for that territory by the United
States through Secretary Seward,
nor is it surprising that the old
''shelIback" announces that the
offer still holds good.
What may be the settlement of
the seal difficulty, it is certain that
the discussion of the question will
give our Alaskan possessions a
wider advertising than they would
otherwise have received in many
years. Facts are coming to light
that show the industry of catch
ing fur-bearing animals to have
been of greater value than was
suspected.
AS everybody knows, Secretary
Seward bought Alaska from Rus
sia, paying therefor $7.2O0,OO0.
Since that purchase in 1867, ac-
cording to a census bulletin con-
tanning an abstract of the report
of Ivan Petroff, the special agent
of the bureau. sealskins to the
value of $33,OOO,OOO have been
shipped from Alaska and sold in
the London markets, and other
furs to the amount $I6,O0G,000
have been sold. Nearly fifty mil
lion dollars have been collected
from furs alone.
But this is not all that has to go
to the cre,lit of Alaska. The sal
mon fisheries since 1854 have
yielded $7.5OO,OOO, or more than
the cost of the territory. In 1890
there we're 100000 salmon taken
at Karluk, where the largest COM
pany in the world is located, and
LOO men are employed. The
Goldfish catch, which is reported to
be susceptible of immense devel-
opment, has exceeded $3,O0O,0 900
in the last twenty years. The
herring fishery yields annually
10000, gallons of oil and nearly
1000 tons of fertilizing material.
The whales caught in the Arctic
in 1890 yielded 226, ,4O2 pounds of
bone, $3.50 pounds of Ivory, and
1867 barrels of oil.
During the same year the pro-
duction of gold was about $780,
900. These figures are highly in
teresting as showing how much
there IS in it for us if we can
maintain that the Behring is mare
clausuna and closed to the trading
proclivities of all the world, ex-
cept our own.-Welcome.
