THE CHRoNIcLE is under obligations
to DIR. j. r. Cardwell, president OF the
Oregon state board OF horticulture. for a
copy of the biennial report to the assem-
bly,. 1t is very Interesting, particu-
larly ulon such topics as fig culture, by
A. +. Hawley, etc. We would not have
the state horticultural society lose sight
of the fact that remarkably tineVtigs arr
produced in The Dalles. This year Mr.,
E. Shanno had them in abundance,
fully ripe and perfected in June. From
iudicious planting and cultivation of the
clips and cuttings of the acclimated and
naturalized trees or bushes, if the own
ers could be induced to go into the bust
ness, the shade nf the fig tree as well as
OF the vine could in a few years become
a universal feature of an Inland Empire
landscape.

southern oregon Mines.

Hon. H. B. Miller says the, mining
interests In the neighborhood of Grants
Pass, iii Josephine and jackson coun-
ties, have taken oil quite "a boom and
the excitement has run very high over
recent Developments A great deal of
local capital has been. invested, and
people Of all kinds are going into it. The
excitement WAS greatly intensified not
long ago when it was announced that
the result OF a test made upon 100 tons
of ore taken from a certain ledge gave
an average yield of s33 per ton in free
gold. AS it pays to work ledge pam
ming out IS per ton in free gold, such u
rich find threw the town into state of
excitement and every body turned ont to
hunt for an extension of the ledge from
which the valuable ore was taken. Sew
eral of the searchers ran, to the river,
where they expected to find shining
nuggets TO mark the place where the
river cut through the ledge. Finally,
one man found what he supposed to be
an extension of the ledge in a railroad
cnt, and commenced to dig out the ore.
But the section men objected to his
depredations and drove him Off. Mean
time night had come on. but the search
ers, not to. be foiled, procured lanterns,
and by their dim light tried to locate
the ledge outside the railroad right Of
way. The search continued all night,
but was unsuccessfull-the ledge had, ii,
some strange manner disappeared.

task saying such an offer was unwise
and imprudent, it being made at the
time of the Boulanger agitation, when it
was generally believed that France
would make war upon Germany. The

peror, who was keenly annoyed at this
further scandal. He Immediately insti-

least bit given to crying over spilled milk
but he believes that the time TO organize
for future victory is in the hour of de-
feat, and that the most important les

For ten years he has urged upon the
Republican party the policy of justice
as an essential concomitant of a policy
Of prosperity. He has called the atten-
ton again and again Of party leaders

putting all their eggs In one basket and
Insisting on absolute silence upon all

called attention to the fact that Gar

of justice to the citizen in 1850 while
Blaine lost on the plea Of personal gain
in 1884; that Harrison was saved In
1888 by the strong infusion Of justice in
the remarkable series of speeches which
he made in that campaign, and that the
tidal wave of 1890 followed upon a pus-

The interest which George William
Curtis kept up in the cause Of his civil
service reform, even to the day Of his
death. is illustrated by the following
interesting letter, to the chairman Of
the committee on reform Of civil service.
Hon. John +. Andrew, on the work of
the committee in the present congress-:
West New Brighton, Staten Island,
New York, May 21, 1S92.-My
Dear Mr.. Andrew:-Wha the
fate Of the two bills reported from your
committee and | am sincerely Obliged to
you for a copy of the reports. the in
PRODUCTION marks a distinct progress. II
both Of them should now or hereafter be-
come laws, the small change of corriip-
ton by patronage, which Is the great
bulk Of it, would be largely withdrawn
from circulation.

in the leading part you have taken in
the good work, and ! trust that you share
my confidence that the "sun do move IS

win be a step in the direction o. a
harmonized Democratic party in this
state.
It must be apparent now to all who
dissentod from the action Of the regular
convention at Houston that disaster
waits upon all Efforts outside the scope
Of regular party organization Fusion
movements are rarely successful, and
even when they appear 70 be 50, the re-
suits are satisfactory to no one.
The present conditions admit OF an
easy compromise. The fight was waged
mainly upon national issues. II is alb
surd that such differences should divide
the party at home. The idea that there
is an irreconcilable conflict Of principles
between the two masses OF Democrats
is the chimera OF an excited brain.
There is no solid foundation for 1t.
Further division merely means fur
ther agitation. That Is all. It Is easy
TO see, from study Of the returns, that
It cannot, by any possibility bear fruit
No Texas Democrat need be afraid TO
go into the primaries with tho masses
Of his party. They are honest aud
well.meaning, and they will not stand
sponsor for political heresies or for any
injury to the general welfare OF the
people OF the state.

HIGH.HEELED SHOES.


The streets Of the old city of Venice
were often extremely thick in mud, in
spite Of the great sewers which dated
from the tenth century It is easily
conceivable. Even now. with 10000 or
10000 Inhabitants, the thoroughfares be-
tween the Piazzo and the Rialto are
somtimes sufficiently bad We are writ
ing Of the time when the population was
nearly five times what it is now, and
when Venetian trade was at its zenith.
Wen, 10 combat this mud, the ladies took
to lligh-heeled shoes. As the mud grew
worse. the heels became taller, until ut
length they were half a yard high and
as difficult to control as pair of stills
without handles, The consequence was
that lady in full dress, obliged to walk
but few yards, had to be supported on
both sides. This was a task for the
black pages, or for the lovers, who had
now become very conventional part of
Venetian society.

Democracy in the national election
has triumphed. This victorygis the
greatest achievement Of the party Jor
many years. In the first flush Of tri
umph what that victory involves does
not engage the thoughts OF omon; the
whoop and the hurrah browns sober
sense for time and even the serious
minded are well-nlgh swept from their
mornings.
After the sound and fury have abated,
true democrats know that tho incoming
administration will have woighty re-
sponsibility, will be critically watched
and readily censured by the opposing
party.
Candid mon admit that the prospori-
ty under Mr. Cleveland during his first
term and the financial disasters under
Mr.. Harrison was not due so much to
tho men in power nor TO measures APP
proved by them as to combinations OF
circumstances over which the high of
iioials could exercise little control
Should the party holding the reins for
the next four years fail to restore pros
pedty, should 1t blunder or neglect to
correct the supposed political blunders
OF the past, there will be howl Of dis
appointment from friends and Republi-
cans will parade the errors with noisy
satisfaction.
The national platform Of the Dcmoc-
rncy pledges the party to tariff reform,
and Mr.. Cleveland isrightfully expected
to carry it out. How the reformation
Is to be best effected is still question
among statesmen, and any radical
change Is not likely to meet the APP
provul Of all Democrats, Again: Mr..
Cleveland Is personally pledged to civil
service reform, and in this he is in dan
ger Of being damned II you do and
damned Il you don't"
In view Of the peculiar responsible
ties the victory entails, there is great
satisfaction In the thought that Mr..
Cleveland is not man swayed by pop
ular clamor, and that while he is a man
Of strong convictions his past record
warrants the belief that in his official
acts he VIII be guided by tho principles
he has so Enthusiastically enunciated.
Yes, great victory has been
achieved, but 1t Is not well to overlook
the fact that this entails grave rospon-
sibilities and that the new administra-
ton win need the hearty support and
united strength Of the party to reap the
full measure of success.
