Orecon's Exhibit,

A well.kuown Salem banker has his own
views as to the manner in which Oregon's
appropriation should be expended at Chi
cago in order to bring about the greatest
good. He claims that there is no irner
wheat in the world than that grown in this
state, and that he is in favor of buying at
the highest market price 5000 bushels of
the same and exhibiting it IN glass bins.
That there be a great number of sn all
sacks made with the words '"Oregoh
Wheat" printed on them and day adver-
tlsed by placards on the wheat bins for dis
tribution of these sacks tull of wheat to
visiting farmers. He would do the same
thing with the fruit, being very careful in
it's selection and sending 1t forward on pas.
senger trains. This he would also sdver-
tise for distribution on a certain day. He
thinks, by this method, Oregon would get
so thoroughly advertised that 1t would IN
tine next five years more than double the
otherwise ttlement of the Willamette
valley in particular and Oregon in general.

The action of the Ulster Orange
men in burning Gladstone in efigy
was very unwise. As Irishmen they
should be in sympathy with any move-
ment which would advance the inter
ests Of their native land, and home
rule is undoubtedly in that line. 1t
Is not question of religion but of
patriotism, and they should not be
lacking in this element. The men Of
Ulster, the descendants Of Cromwell's
Roundheads, should be in the front
ranks of the advocates of Irish liberty,
and should not pursue a line Of action
which will call down upon them the
condemnation of the whole civilized
world. If home-rule passes the Brit
ish parliament, it will be sad COM
mentary on the loyalty Of the men
who have been at the head of the in
dustrial development of Ireland, that
the military arm of the government
will have to be called into requisition
to enforce obedience to law.

ADemooratic exchange deyotes a
half.column editorially- to the rantings
of "aholitionists" in ante bellum days
to prove that, the Republican party
was in favor of dissolution of the
union. If the editor had read the
Chicago platform Of 1856 he would
have disabused his mind of this err
roneous impression, and if he had been
conversant with the history Of the first
two years of Mr.. Lincoln's admins
tratlon he would have asoertained the
fact that the rabid 6re-eaters of the
north caused him nearly as much an
noyance as Democratic copperheads
There were few extremists who en-
dorsed his conservative policy, and
Horace Greely, in his New York Trib
as,se, was constantly bounding him be-
cause he would not let the "wayward
sisters depart in peace" or at the be-
ginning issue an emancipation proc
lamation. The Republican party never
suited the "abolitionists," and MIR.
Greeley and Mr.. Chase, after the war.
attached themselves to the Democracy.
1t is matter of just pride with Re-
publicans that the party, from its first
was conservatively con-
stitutional on the questions of slavery
and the preservation of the union at
all hazards, and was bitterly opposed
by extremists, north and south.

WASHINGTON, March 6-There has been
some doubt as to who is going to distribute
the patronage for Washington. 1t is now

Cleveland, and the fact that Senator Squire
is popular with the Cleveland administration
and good friend Of Collins gives the Seat
tie man the best of It, He may allow Hugh
Wallace to have some position, and probably
would be willing to concede him second or
third class mission, principally on account of
his being the son,in-law of Chief Justice
