The divine right of kings to. rule
is fast passing away. The hold
monarchical institutions have upon
the people is becoming less. The
death of the Duke of Clarance, the
direct heir to the throne of Eng
land diminishes to some extent
this claim. Democratic principles
are taking strong hold of a large
number of people in all monarch
les and not many generations will
roll by before the doctrine of the
divine right of kings to rule will
be swept away. Republican
governments are proven to be so
strong that they are introducing
greater freedom even into absolute
monarches.

IT may be convenient Tor Ameri-

American diploma Of medicine
does not entitle its possesser to
call himself NJ d. If he does he
may be prosecuted. A doctor has
actually been prosecuted for this

application to quash the conviction
the lord chief justice of England
expressed the opinion that, within
the meaning of the law of England,
our countryman had falsely rep

The attention of the public is
gradually but surely being drawn
to the magnitude Of the evils re-
sulting from gambling i'll futures.
Among the first 10 call attention
to the matter were some Of the
great millers OF the country who
found the artificial fluctuations
caused by this class of speculation,
most injurious to their business.
The farmers have for some time
realized the depressing effects upon
prices caused by the competition
of fictitious grain with the real ar
ticle. Charles A. Pillsbury, who
is at the head of the greatest -four
manufacturing business in the
world, said two or three years ago
that wheat would bring the farm
ers dollar a bushel at their home
market if it were not for the option
business. Senator Washburn, of
Minnesota, has introduced a bill in
Congress intended to put a stop TO
the business. and states that in his
opinion the farmers would be get
ting 20 cents a bushel more for
their wheat than they now are if
prices were not artilicially depressed
by the existing system of gam
bling. The evil is a vast one and is
powerfully entrenched, and to
some, the efforts to squelch it may
appear hopeless, in view of the re-
spectability and high standing OF
those engaged in it. 1t is to be re-
membered, however, that lotteries
were once legal everywhere and
even approved Of by teachers OF
religion and morality. Now, no
newspaper in this land can even
insert an advertisement OF for
eign lottery, and while the evil is
not entirely eradicated it is no
longer a business in which reputa-
BILE persons will engage.-Rural

The early fruit growers of Ore
gon had a wonderful market for a
few years at San Francisco. In
1854 five hundred bushels of ap-
pies were shipped from Oregon to
San Francisco and returned a net
profit of from one dollar and fifty
cents to two dollars per pound. In
1855 the shipments rose to six
thousand bushels which sold at
from twenty to thirty dollars pei
bushel. In 1856 the shipments
rose to twenty thousand boxes
Even in this year big prices were
received, and for choice fruit fancy
figures were obtained, one box oi
Esopus Spitzenberg selling fol
sixty dollars. The Californians
planted apple trees, and alter 1866
the shipment of apples from Ore
gon began to decline. Apple rails
ing was more profitable than gold
nfining for the first half dozen
years of the industry in Oregon.

That our coast defenses are in
adequate is beginning to be real
lied by congress is a hopeful sign.
The United States has large ex-
tent of sea coast and it will require
large sums of money to properly
protect all the important points.
Yet this should be done. 1T is a
matter of great interest to the
whole country that this work
should be proceeded with, without
delay. Our whole Pacific coast
needs better protection. 1t is un-
wise for great government like
ours to leave unprotected such a
large territory. The government
cannot do better than protect the
country from invasion in case oil
war with some foreign nation.

MORE FARMERS INSTITUTES.

A series of farmers institutes is
being held in the state OF Oregon
this winter under the auspices Of
the state agricultural college. Of
the beneficial results of these insti-
tutes there can be no question.
That they are beginning to be ap-
preciated is also apparent. The
only thing that is wrong about the
matter is that there are not
enough of them.
With only six institutes annu
ally in a state the size of Oregon
it will be a long time before the
mass OF the farmers will be able
to avail themselves of the benefits
to be derived therefrom. 1t is also
true that the beneficial results are
far greater when the institutes are
held repeatedly in the same local
ity. 1t is necessary that the farm
ers become familiar with these
institutes in order to understand
how useful they are. The first in
stitute held in any locality is apt
to be. in a greater or less degree, dis
!couraging. The seed sown is not,
however, entirely wasted. and the
next time an institute is held in
that locality greater interest will
be manifested.
1t would be a grand thing for
Oregon if one or two institutes
could be held in each county in
the state every year. 1t will not
be many years before we reach
that state of affairs and the sooner
the better. Increase of knowledge
and improved methods are neces-
sary in order to keep up with the
procession. AS a matter of fact
the farmers of Oregon are in many
respects necessarily far behind the
farmers of states like Wisconsin
and Indiana and have greater
need of institutes than farmers in
those states. In Wisconsin two
series of institutes are running
throughout the winter, and in In
diana ninety. one are held during
the season.
In consideration of the amour,
of good done, the cost of holding
farmers Institutes is small. The
greater part Of the work is done
gratuitously. There ought, how
ever, to be a fixed sum appropri
ated by the state for institute work
One half or one-third of the
amount which is expended for the
support of its ornamental militia
would be sufficient to do wonders
in the way of holding farmers
institutes. If the farmers of the
state are wise they will demand O
their representatives that an ade
quate appropriation be made fo
an institute fund. After institutes
have been held once or twice il
each county in the state the farm
ers can be depended upon to make
such a demand. If they do no
make it now with sufficient vigo
it is because they have not ye
had the opportunity to learn thei
value.-Rural Northwest.

A DEMOCRAT.

9 The Dailes -Mountaineer
describes democratic consistency
as follows. The present condi-
ton of the party verifies the de-
scription. We quote: "a democrat,
in his conscience, is a different
being from a democrat on the
''stump" desiring votes for an
office. In his inner consciousness
he is free trader; but before the
public he is simply for "tariff
reform" and in favor of protecting
the taxpayer from unnecessary
burdens" His only objection. to
the people, against the protective
policy, is that something better
could be done for the laborer.
When he is elected to congress,
this same self sacrificing, philan-
thopic democrat formulates a
shabby Morrison's horizontal re-
duction measure or Mills protect
i've bill to southern planters, cuts
down appropriations for the navy,
coast defenses and rivers and har-
bors, then goes before the country
as the friendly of the poor man."
ave have carefully watched the
subterfuges of the democratic party
for years, and its duplicity has
been marked. On tree-trade it has
the same double policy that it has
on national finances, and in read
ing its platforms it is incumbent
on every intelligent elector to scan
between the lines and to be con-
versant with its past history"

A BILL introduced by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, is now pend
ing in the house for the admission
of Utah as a state. This, of course,
will find opposition from the OBJ.

Senator Bushnell's resolution on
the subject, declaring that Utah
has a larger population than the
three adjoining states of Wyoming
Idaho and Nevada combined, will
find favor among conservative
men i'll either party. The admis
sion of this territory promises
however, to become a political
issue.

..BETrER LATE THAN MEYER. !"

AS There has Deeu uO HOLlC0
taken of so august a meeting as
the late convention held in Boston
by the w. G. 7. u, it may be we'll
to make mention of it through our
columns. The first Worlds and
eighteenth National convention of
the w. G. Z. U. was held in Bos-
ton. Mass, Nov. Ills, 1891. Mrs.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
speaks of this meeting as ''the
most important convention of
women ever held in America
There were present many of our
eminent temperance women,
among whom were Lady Henry
Somerset, Frances E. Willard,
Mary Clement Leavitt, Hannah
Whitall Smith, Mother Thompson,
Isabella Beecher Hooker, and our
much -honored national superia-
tendent OF the Y's, Frances j.
Barnes, besides many state super
intendents and hearty workers. 81.
Miss Frances E. Willard, presl-
dent of the Worlds National w.
G. T. T., delivered an eloquent ad-
dress, touching upon the forty diff
ferent lines of work done by this
mighty army of earnest workers
ssfor God and home and native
land"
Just here we would like to ask
how many of our readers know
how large an organization the w.
Q. T. U. has become and if they
realize that it is a worldwide or
ganization America, England.
France, Denmark, Italy, Spain,
Russia, Egypt, Syria, Africa, with
other countries and many islands
of the sea are represented by this
grand monument.
Besides Miss Willard's lengthy
address, which occupies sixteen
pages of the Daily Union Signal,
the official organ of the w. G. T.
| u, and of which it would be i'm
possible to even give synopsis in
our limited space. there were ad-
dresses by Lady Henry Somerset
and others.
The banner was this year pre-
sented to the Iowa Y's by Miss
Ensign, assistant superintendent
of the Ohio Y's.
When we remember that only a
few years since the w. G. L. U.
was only that little band of work
ers in Hillsboro, Ohio, who were
then denounced as Crusaders, and
think that today there are thou
sands of members we can thank
God and take courage, for the day
of triumph will yet dawn for the
workers of the W. G. I. U.
The collection taken on the
evening devoted to the "
amounted to $40, which was the
largest single collection Of the con
vention.
We must not forget that muel
practical work was done by this
convention, out of which much
good will spring. IL.
