TINE 70 BEGIY PREPARAT1oN.

Next year is very likely to be a
critical one in the history OF prune
growing in Oregon. The yield of
prunes was not up to the average
last year, and this year has been
the most unfavorable known to
the business. II the yield is good
next year, the aggregate product
will be many times what it has
ever yet been. The amount will
be great enough, in fact, to make
the Oregon product very percep-
tible factor in the supply OF the
United States, and the character
of the Oregon prunes thrown upon
the market next year will have a
predominant effect in establishing
the reputation of the prunes of
this state.
It is not too early to begin pre-
parations now. Every fruit grow-
er Of Oregon, and Washington as
well, who has few acres Of prunes
of bearing age should at once COM
mence all earnest study of the
question how he is going to take
care of his fruit next year. The
planting and cultivation of prune
trees is a simple matter. The pro-
per handling of the product is a
complicated one which calls for
the exercise of both skill and busi-
ness management. This subject
is brought up at this time because
it is found that the majority Of
growers do not seem to realize
what is before them. They talk
confidently enough about the
large quantity of fruit which their
trees ought to yield next year, but
they act as if they expected
| nothing of the kind. Ii there
should be big prune crop next
year one-half of it is likely to rot
for want of sufficient evaporators
and more than one half of the
balance to be practically spoiled
for want of skillful handling. The
part which rots will be a heavy
loss to the growers who raised it.
The part which is injured for want
Of skillful handling will be a great
and lasting damage to all the prune
growers of the state because it will
go into market to create a bad rep
utation for Oregon prunes. Ore.
gon's opportunity in this matter is
great if our growers will only
awaken TO the character of the
emergency. Oregon prunes un.
questionably surpass those of Cali
fornia in size. and, if properly
evaporated, in flavor. If they are
cared for and put upon the market
with as much skill as the Califor
MIA product, our prunes will take
first place upon the markets in the
United States without a question
and the time is not far distant
when there will be no profit in
raising prnnes unless they do take
first place.-Rural Northwest.

A WRITER OH education says
comparatively few teachers and
professors who are connected with
the seminaries and colleges of our
country are in sympathy with the
present movement of the people
for more practical education
than is generally acquired at the
higher institutions of learning. 1t
is quite popular for the devotees OF
classical and scientific education
to call the movement for industrial
education "a mere fad''' y This is
quite possible, for that class of in
structors are brought in contact
with ssfadso in all forms and have
but little faith in the stability oil
any new move. Old things are
coming into use again on all sides,
and education has for so many
years been drifting away from
what was needed by the people
who are supposed to fill the most
numerous and important classes in
the country, that it is about time
to look for a sudden and radical
change. It is no more absurd for
the daughter Of wealthy parents to
be instructed III housework, me-
chanics and even agriculture than
it has been for the boys and girls
who were TO be farmers and me-
chanics or the wives of such to
spend the best years Of their lives
and worry their brains over Latin
grammar and rules of incompre-
hensible mathematics that are OF
no use outside of a special line OF
business. No doubt when teach
ers in classical schools observe
people coming to their senses they
think it is a mere ssfad," and If
they give it the same encourage
ment it may endure as long as boat
racing or ball games. OF course,
there are some who will study for
a practical, business, everyday
education just for the novelty OF
the thing just as some girls now
engage i'll masculine sports, but
the habit of earning a living will
be followed by majority Of the
people for long time yet, and
instruction that tends that way,
when once in fashion, will be ap-
preciated.

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

-1HE HGSOLI w 1AO D0DSA = AO~''
1t is almost certain that Cleve-
land is elected president for the
next four years, although the re-
turns are not as yet complete.
And it is possible that elections
this winter by state legislatures
may place the senate i'll the con-
troll of the democrats and popu-
lists. ct least it is evident that
they will secure it later, which
with an already democratic house
will give them absolute control Of
all departments of the govern
ment. When it comes to this, the
the democrats will have to an
swer to the people for the proper
administrator of the government,
as they alone will be responsible
for its policy, and can have no ex-
euse that they were hampered by
republican obstruction or antago-
nism in any department. They
will now have an opportunity to
inaugurate the reforms they have
so long promised, and if the coun-
try does not prosper under their
administration the people will lay
the blame where it belongs.
The result means that the vo-
ters of the country have decided
on change of commercial and in
dustrial policy in the most pros
porous period ever known in the
history Of the United States. The
country will now have a free trade
policy. The laborer, consumer
and producer will now have abun-
dant opportunity to learn what
free trade means by actual expe
rience. This result was brought
about principally through contin-
ued agitation among the laboring
classes by scheming demagogues,
who expect to benefit themselves
by the change, and who fonnd
easy converts among large con-
tingent of a foreign element of la
borers who were easily misled on
q account of thei:. ignorrnce. This
same labor vote have placed them
selves on an equality with the
cheap labor sections of the old
world, without knowing it. They
came to the country to better
their condition, but voted to place
them in the same category with
their fellow laborers that they left
behind them across the sea. When
the reaction does come, it will fall
with overwhelming, convincing
force on the laborers of the land,
who will then see the error of
their way and long for the good
{ old republican days.
The peoples party as a factor
contributed not little in an indi-
,; rect way to the success of the de-
mocracy in this presidential
election.

fusion with the peoples party.
They believed in standing true to
their colors, even if Harrison did
get the electoral vote by large
majority. The vote IN Benton
county as well as other portions
Of the state distinctly shows that
they did not favor deserting their
party organization, no matter how
hopeless the prospect for victory,
