The canning OF grapes is no new in-
dustry, although of late it has assumed
more importance because grapes are be-
coming 70 abundant. Where grapes
are very cheap, canning can be carried
on proftably. Right in the midst of
the large grape growing regions cau-
ming goes on every year and farmers are
glad to sell their surplus crop to the
factories. In canning the grapes skins
d puips are both used. The grapes
are popped out Of the skins by pressing
them, and then boiled until they can be
rubbed through sieve to separate the
pits. The skins are boiled longer than
the pulps, and the latter are added after
the former have been stewing for some
time. Sugar is added to suit the taste,
and then the whole Is brought TO boil.
The grapes are sealed Immediately in
air-tight jars, bottles or cans of any
size. The operation is so simple that
many growers do the work on their own
vineyards. The canned grapes make
delicious preserves in winter, and the
price is made very reasonable.

bullet in its flight, aud it is now being
made to record the movements of the
growing parts of plants. Especially
curious are the results with certain
climbers, such as the hop-convolvulus,
ipomel, etc. The young stems move in
a succession of irregular circular or
elllptical curves, which vary every mo-
ment, even in direction, and are due to
irregular growth in different parts OF
the stem. During the sleep of plants
movements do not cease, but consist of
alternate upward and downward vibra.

l have just crossed the Cherokee Strip,
writes a correspondent, and was sur
prIsed to find that it took the train over
three hours to cross it. The general
impression as to the Strip is That it is
narrow neck of land only a few miles
across, reserved as a highway or outlet
for the Cherokees. As a matter of fact,
the Strip is eighty miles across, and is
larger in area than some of the States of
the Union. The eighty miles is covered
with the best quality of fine blue grass
and it is doubtful whether in the best
parts of Texas it is to be duplicated.-

THE TOTE OF OREGON.

The vote of Oregon since 1872
now becomes matter OF current
interest. In 1872 President
Grant carried the state by Il ma
jority of4,065. In 1876 when the
contest lay between Tilden and
Hayes the latter had majority
of 1850. In 1880 Garfeld's ma
jority was GIL. In 1884 Blaine's
majority was 2,256. In 1856 the
secretary of state of Oregon was
elected by republican plurality
of 290. In 1888 the republican
plurality for President Harrison
was G,769. In 1890 Governor
Pennoyer carried the state by
5,151 plurality. In the same year
Congressman Hermann's plurality
was 9.913.
The democratic vote has in
creased from 19,S49 IN 1858 to
30,263 in 1890, taking the con-
gressional election of that year as
the basis. The republican vote.
which was 20,619. increased to
40,176 in 1890. In that year
1856 votes were cast for the pro-
hibition candidate.

The San Francisco Chronicle
says that Oregon has fired the
first gun of the campaign with a

echoes which had been hushed
into silence after the republican

had two congressman to elect, and

one, and the other from the second
district, was named Ellis. We
have not been informed as yet
whether the sheep voted at this
election, as a disgusted democratic
apostle declared they did in 1888,
but it is very evident that a large
number of republicans voted, since
Hermann's majority is estimated
at $500 and Ellis at 1000. If
these figures are maintained at
the presidential election Oregon
will take rank not only as solid
but as stalwart republican state

INCREASED COMMERCE..

There are many ways in which
the Mckinley tariff and the reel
procity treaties made in accord
ance with it can be shown to have
been beneficial to the country,
for there is scarcely a single in
dustry in the union that has not
been benefited either by one or
the other, but perhaps no proof is
more conclusive than that which
is afforded by the great increase
that has taken place in our foreign
commerce. The statistics cover
ing this subject show an increase
so extraordinary that they would
be incredible if they did not come
direct from official sources. The
exports of American produce dur
ing the three years ending in 1889
were valued at $2,72l,25l,19 be.
ing all increase in three years of
1851 ,243, ,2S9, while during the
three ending 1892 they reached a
value of $2.721.25l,19 being an
increase in three years of $751;,
997, ,906. The imports do not show
so great an. increase for the three
years but they still reveal a con-
siderable advance, as those for the
last three years under Cleveland
amounted to $2,130,35S,910, while
under Harrison they amounted to
$2,440,053,S2S. 1t is in consider.
ing the figures of the balance OF
trade, however, that we find the
full measure of the effect Of the
new tariff. During the last three
years of Cleveland the excess OF
our exports over our imports was
but $2S, ,9S4,379, while during the
first three years Of Harrison they
amounted to the vast sum OF
$2S1,197 1867, or nearly tenfold
what they were in Cleveland's
time. Figures like these are as
eloquent as true, and they are
likely TO do great deal OF talking
during the coming campaign. Ii
is still remembered among the peo
pie that the democrats declared
with great vehemence that the
Mckinley tariff would destroy
our foreign commerce. To these
declarations the statistics we have
quoted will reply, and the reply is
sure to win votes for the party
that enacted the tariff and intends
to support it,.

277s Difference
The .'Royal" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

"Roya1," let the official reports decide When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over
80 cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Royal see that you
are charged the correspcndingly lower price.

Since March /, 1889, one
quarter of the national debt then
outstanding, or $259,093,65 has
been paid off at an expenditure
of $296,316,931. These bonds,
if they had run to maturity, would
have cost, principal and interest,
1851 ,669,424. The saving by
their purchase was, therefore,
$55,352,4 The annual interest
charge was reduced by these pur-
chases from $34,57s,2i9 to $22,-
S93,S71. This is a reduction of
$11,634.34S annually, OF one

Judgment and such spirit of fair

The only dissatisfied ones who
have raised any kick, are those
whose demands tor appointment
to office have not been fulfilled.
And yet from that source there
has been less reason for dis
pleasure than any other, for TAX

President Harrison has shown a
wonderful degree of wisdom and
fairness in making his appoint

the fewest that conld have been
made.
President Harrison has evinced
a craftsmanship that is indeed
commendable; a zeal for the well

of emulation a fidelity to duty
that deserves recognition ); an
ability, firmness and decisive
action that meets the difficulties
that have arisen OF may arise III
the varied exigencles of the
administration of public affairs.
that speaks louder than mere
words for his fitness for the great
position he holds. All things
taken into consideration, the
country will accept the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Harrison as an assur-
ance of an election.
For the second place on the
ticket the placing of so dis

which he filled with satisfactory
results.

WATTERSON,S OPINION.

Henry Watterson, in the Louis
vile Courier Journal, says of the
republican nominees: sBeyond
any question the president is the
strongest candidate the republi-
cans could put in the field.
Whitelaw Reid will strengthen
the ticket in more ways than one.
He is man of large wealth,
which he knows how to spend.
He is chief of a great journal,
which is power by ITSELF" This
is the view of a clear-headed dem
ecratic politician, who does not
allow his prejudice to run away
ksxith his judgment.
