THE unlimited cheek of those
who are endeavoring to make
tariff arguments ''for political pur-
poses only" is astonishing in the
extreme. How they can persist
in repeating the assertions, that
the Mckinley tariff law has made
clothing, tinware and other articles
of daily use, the necessities of life,
cost more to the consumers than
before, is beyond comprehension,
when the very opposite is the
facts in the case, as every person
can demonstrate by a comparison
of prices with any honest,
straightforward dealer. The S. T.
Chronicle mentions a case of that
nature where a paper CLAIMS that
clothing costs more than it did and
says: ''In this case it IS only nee
essary to appeal from the rhetoric
of the editorial column to the
sober statements of fact in the ad.
vertising columns Of our contem-
porary itself. The editorial says
''clothing, for example, is much
dearer under the Mckinley tariff
than before. The taxes on all
kinds of woolen goods which ordi-
nary people wear are raised enor
mously by the Mckinley act.'
This is the rhetoric of the case
while on the preceding page of the
same paper we get the facts. A
clothing house in this city adver
tises seven different patterns O
mems all-wool suits for $3.50
mems double breasted and single
breasted suits reduced from $15 tt
$40; mems all-wool cashmere
trousers reduced to $1.95. An
other advertisement in the same
paper offers ladies' all-wool jacket:
at $2.75; serge ulsters reduced
from $3.50 to $3.50; all-woo
tailor-ma jackets reduced from
$3.50 to $3.50; and so on through
a long list. t."-Albany Herald.

IT is reported that the rebate Oh
tin-plate, allowed for the purpose
of promoting the export of Amerl-
can canned goods, is sufficient to
cover the freight, interest and in
surance on California goods
shipped to Liverpool. AS con-
sequence the English consumer
can get our fruits about as
cheaply as the consumer in the
Mississippi valley, and there is
every reason to believe. therefore,
that we should build up a large
trade with that country. In 1891
about $4,000 cases of canned fruit
were shipped from California to
Liverpool, and sanguine dealers
expect that the shipments this
year will equal 100000 cases.

UNIFORM STATE La VS.

The current number of the Fo-
rum contains very practical arti-
Gle from the pen of Professor
James F. Colby upon the necessity
for uniform state laws. Professor
Colby is one of the members of the
committee on uniform laws of the
American bar association and as
such has given the subject a most
careful consideration. The writer
shows tersely and yet clearly how
the framework of our American
laws has been made up by our in
heritance from the English COM
mon law, by colonial customs and
precedents, by the statutes and de-
cisions of the courts of the various
states. These statutes and decis-
ions have been very many and
very diverse, and the consequence
is that the resident of one state
knows little or nothing about his
rights and remedies in an adjoin-
ing state.
TO illustrate this diversity in the
various state laws, take the subject
of marriage. In several states the
age of consent remains as at COM
mon law, IA for males and - for
| females. In other states the age
of consent is 16 and IA for the
sexes respectively.
In still others it is II and IA
years. In others it is IS and 16
respectively, while in New York it
is 2l for the males and IA for the
females. Take also the subject of
a marriage license under our dis
cordant laws. In some states the
male must be 21 and the female is
years Of age In others the female
must be 81 also. With reference
to the marriage ceremony in some
states it must be solemnized by an
ordained or licensed minister OF
priest. In others the qualifications
of him who may perform the cere-
mony, vary about as widely as pos
sible. In some states no witnesses
are required to the marriage cere-
mony. In others such as Penn
Isylvania twelve witnesses are re-
quired to every marriage ceremony
| Upon the subject of wills the
laws of the several states are even
more divergent than in that oil
marriage. Nearly every state has
its own peculiar statistics on this
subject and few of them agree in
the essentials to the due execution
of a will. Upon many other sub
ljects the laws of the states are
wildly apart and the consequence
is hopeless muddle OH the part
of lawyers and courts in finding
out just what is law and when il
has been conformed to. -.
There ought to be provided a re
medy for this patent evil upon the
face of the jurisprudence of the
United States. The American bal
association have been trying te
effectuate such a remedy since
) 1889. 1t is not unlikely that the
bar association will introduce il
congress measure for the codif
: cation and maintenance in prac
ticai harmony of the whole body
of American law. This certainly
Is consummation devoutly to be
wished by the whole American
lpeople. The effect of such a meas
ure would be not only to harmo
nize bnt also to greatly simplify
the whole system and pratice o.
the law in every state of the union
and to relieve it of the present in
consistencies which do so much tC
ldestroy the public confidence il

Our WATERMELoNs.-Last week this
paper published short item relative to the
watermelons which are consumed in this
vicinity having to be imported from southa
ern Oregon and CALIFORNIA; and the question
was asked ''why cannot these melons be
raised here instead of it being necessary to
send elsewhere for them?' Mr. and Mrs
Creese say that it can be done here just as
well as it can anywhere else, and to prove
it they brought us melon raised on their
farm which was by far much the superior
IN flavor of most of the foreign melons we
have eaten. and it proves ccnclusively that
the only reason why they are not raised
here is that they are not planted. It seems
to take our agriculturalists long time to
realize that wheat is not the only thing that
will grow in this fair Willamette valley;
hence, a large proportion of the fruit and
vegetables consumed here must be imported
while, if properly managed, Oregon would
be supplying the markets of other states in
stead of depending on other states to sup
ply her markets. Let's have more diversi.
fed farming. Our agricultural college is
doing good work infcorrecting such falla-
cious beliefs and should have the hearty CO.
operation Of all who have any interests in
agriculture.

an Vneanny Monster.


The people residing along Palmetto
creek, South Carolina, as well as those
for miles back in the "slashes," are
highly excited over the appearance Of 8
strange and uncouth creature in that
vicinity. The beast is described as be-
ing creature that far outdoes the night
mare ideas of the mythologists. It is
equally at home in the water, on the
land or among the tall trees of the
neighborhood, where it has been most
frequently seen. The general contour
Of the head reminds one of some gigantic
serpent with this exception: The ''snout''
terminates in a bulbus, monkey faced
knot, which much resembles the physi-
ognomy of some gigantic ape. From
the neck down, with the exception of
some fin shaped fippers, which extend
from the arms to the waist, the creature
resembles man, only that the toes and
fingers are armed with claws from two
to six inches long.
Tracks made by the beast in the soft
mud around Hennis lake have been
taken to Donner's Grove, where they are
kept on exhibition in druggists show
case. Those who have seen the herrid
thing face to face say that it is full
nine feet in height, which could hardly
be believed only for the fact that the
tracks mentioned above are within a
small fraction of fifteen inches in length.
Fishermen who surprised the monster
sitting silently on mass Of driftwood
declared that its back looked like an al
igator's, and that it had caudal ter
mination yard long, which forked like
the tail of a fsh.-St. Louis Republic.

Little Short of Murder,

The neighbors around certain corner
of Ash street were alarmed on Monday
night by low means issuing from close
ly curtained carriage that stood on the
corner. A driver sat upon the seat.
One of the neighbors came out and ap-
preached the team to ask what was the
matter. Before he reached the corner
the driver caught sight of him, and
whipping up the horses drove rapidly
off. The folks were doubly alarmed,
and after a good deal of exciting talk
asked policeman to call at the house on
the corner and ascertain who was hurt,
or if any mystery was in the means. He
talked with an excited woman who
came to the door, and also with a man
who wiped his eyes with handkerchief,
while the neighbors stood across the
street in suspicious silence. The officer
came over the street and told them that
the old family dog, the hero of dozens
and dozens of fights and of 90 years, had
been carried off to die by bullet. The
dog evidently understood his fate, for
he began to moan and moan as soon as
they took him from the house.-Lewis-
ton Journal.
