WHEAT PRosPECT.-It is a little
early to begin the gossip about what
the crop prospect IS, yet such Is
already talked of both among the
farmers and by the press in some
localities. The papers from east OF
the mountains speak favorably on
the wheat crop for 1891. Reports
which come in from the country
about Salem say the fall sown grain
is looking well. No one who has
spent two years or more in the VIII
lamette valley suspect a failure
some recent arrivals from Kansas OF
Nebraska have such fear but such
a. moi entertained by an Oregonian
for moment.

Prof. ALEXANDER.-Last night
The opera house was filled by a select
audiesce to hear Prof. Alexander's
initial lecture. Several hundred
life size portraits besides skulls,
casts, etc., are used by the professor
in Illustrating his lectures and it
can be readily seen that he fully
understands his subject. He conf
pletely exploded the bump theory
and showed a striking illustration of
the comparative development of
brains. The lecture was inter
spersed with numerous references
and anecdotes which kept the au-
dience in a happy mood. The
public examination of Rev, Mr..
Brown and Messrs. Robertson,
PrOuty and Adams were happy hits
in which the professor told the
of each. Another
free lecture tonight.

A MOURNING EDITOR.-R. III.
Miller, formerly of Salem, but now
editor of the Springfield Gazette,
mourns the loss of q canvasser and
several big dollars. A nice appear
ing young man struck Springfield a
short time ago and the editor of the
Gazette hired him to canvass for
subscribers. He purchased a horse
and outfit and sold them to the
young man on time. After canvas
sing a few days the young man sold
his outfit for cash, which he pock-
eted along with the subscription
money he had collected, and skipped
out without leaving his future
address.

HIPPoLYTE, OF HAITI
HE IS HOLDING HIS OWN WITH
 GREAT ODDS.
The Hack Republic No Place for Diplomats of Civilized Governments The Represents tives of all Coum. tries Recently lnsulted by the Prcs- fdenl.

It has been reported that the serious political troubles on the island of Hayti had eliminated in the assassina- tion of Gen. Hippolyte by one of the insurgents, but this has been denied by those in position to know. The latest reliable information received is to the effect that the revolution is still going on, however. This uprising had its origin in Port-au-Prince OH Corpus Christi Day, and only about 200 men and boys, principally unarmed, are said to have lost their lives. Gen. Hippolyte is said to have acted with great moderation. In expressing the little revolution of Gen. Sully-Gurrier he leaves presidential possibility the less in the country. The Haytian press charaCterizes the present president as a mild-mannered, genial gentleman, and one who owing to great benevolence of temperament, is hardly
 fitted to play n role in the stern politi- cal drama of that republic. General Hlppolyte is about sixty years of age, says writer in Harpers Weekly, and of coal-black complexion. He is the political idol of the pure blacks, uncon- taminated by creole marriages. Gen eral Legitime, whom he displaced, was a mulatto and the hope of the creole population. Politics is still somewhat primitive in Hayti, and the color of a candidates complexion is more closely regarded than the blanks in his platform. Hippolyte is the son of prominent Haytian professor, who was educated in the normal schools of France. at the expense of his govern ment, and on his return founded d mil itary college at Cape Haytian, which is still the most prominent educa- tional institution on the island.

The Color lure.

The color euro for melancholia is said to have been successfully tried in Washington. An eminent statesman who was thus afflicted would at times sit for hours gazing into space-dream- ing, so to speak. His family became very much annoyed and did everything to cheer him up. but without avail. He seemed to grow worse every day. Finally his wife hung rose -colored shades in his library and then she sewed piece of rose-colorcd velvet around the under rim of his hat. His friends guyed him considerably about 1t around the halls of congress, but they knew not what it was intended for. He paid very little attention to their fun, for he had felt the effect of the rose color upon his mind It was barely two weeks before he was en- tirely cured, and there is not now a happier dispositioned man in this country.

PRESIDENT HIPPOLYTE.

has ruled over the black republic for over a year, and though his sway has been disputed in three revolutions and four sporadic riots he seems still quito firm in the presidential chair. Hanni- bal Price. the Haytian minister to this country, has informed newspaper in- terviewer that when congress meets next month General Hippolyte will be confronted with some opposition to his measures. but that it will all be of a "healthy' character
 Of course, General Hippolyte does not expect to complete his presidential term of six years; an ordeal so severe and so long drawn out would snap even the hard fiber of a Haytian politician, seasoned though he may have been in 9 lyte has very nearly completed tho average term of eighteen months which, by some unwritten law is al- lotted to the Haytian presidents to rule in, and doubtless we will soon see him following in the wake of his predecessors, Solomon and Legitime, sail away to Paris to join with them in the pursuit of fex-presidential pleasures, and assume his proper position as an interesting figure in that circle of South and Central American ex-potentates who help to make a certain section of society life in Paris picturesque, and who are quite as worthy of the biting wit of Daudet as the exiled royalties
 Hayti seems doomed to factional fury and terror. For a century it has been
