ABOUT PAkTY PAPERS.

The Statesman is at some trouble TO
explain that in politics it Is always
Republican. Aside from boiling the
aomation Of the Republican county
convention for the most important Re
publican county office at the last elec-
ton this is probably true. 1t is 80 true
It is hardly news. 1t probably regrets
its course as a bOlter and takes this
method of announcing that hereafter ii
will swallow the whole ticket and go
It blind, he it never so distasteful. 1t
means to repair its somewhat damaged
political reputation and let all know
that in future it will be loyal party
organ. Nothing can be done TO shatter
It's partisan devotion in future.
THE JOURNAL needs to make no such
explanation. Its publishers are Repub
licans to the manor born, But they
carry their sovereignty under their
hats and do not lay it down to any
power on earth. We prefer to be right
rather than partisan. We prefer good
government and the prosperity of the
people TO party success in state or local
affairs when it can only be had at the
expense of the puolic veal. A great
many Republican papers after Harrison
aud Reid were defeated last year de-
clared if they had it to do over again
they would not support Reid. THE
JOURNAL never endorsed Mr.. Reid for
vice president and never recommended
the people 10 vote for him. If he were
nominated next time for president THE
JOURNAL would not consider itself
bound to support him. 1t would con-
slider that duty to the party would re-
Quire his defeat and a higher duty to
the country would require the lesson to
be taught that no such candidate
should ever be put up for the suffrages
of the people.
To bring the matter nearer home: II
the crowd OF corporation lobbyists who
ran the last legislature, and one OF
whose pass peddlers was elected speak
er of one of the houses, should secure
control of the next Republican state
convention and nominate themselves
or their tools for the various state Of
fees in Oregon (Which we do not think
they wi do) We should not consider
it good Republicanism to force their
services upon the people Of this state
If the people have little or nothing to
say as to who shall be put up for Office
they can at least have something to
say as to whom they may vote for at
the polls.

HOP REPORT FROA GERMANY.

We have received the following spe-
cial report on the Continent hop trade
from the German Society of the Hop
culture Altenstadt, Weissenburg, Ell.
sassa, (Alsatia,) 9th October. Business
is now more animated, dreat deal of
the German crop was sold, although
our dealers did not buy as lively as ex-
pected, what must be assumed to their
important purchasers in foreign coun.
tries as much as to the financial diffi-
culties or the commercial crisis. After
having paid $50 to 100 marks the low
est price of Alsatian hops ls now over
200 marks aud 2l5 are freely paid for
choice. More business would be done
II growers were more willing TO sell.
There are yet more irregular qualities
than was expected; In general, hops
show a good quality, but they don't
weigh. Today II Is generally admitted
that Alsatia has not picked more than
S2 600 ewts, aud Germany not more
than 200, 900 cwts., needing $50 10 $780,
900. Belgium, France, England and
America have an average German inn

other countries of about 90 81, ,O0O.
Austria exported last year 10000. Ad
milting that Germany will have only
TO supply the 90 or $1,000 cwis. to the
smaller countries aud that Austria O. n
spare this year 10000 ewt. for export,
Germany will want ll0 TO l60, 900 owts.

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROWERS.

[From the Portland Rural Northwestl
It Is stated that J. ii. Fletcher, OF
Vancouver, sold his entire output OF
prunes. som thing over 20 900 pounds,
In Portland for n cents per pound.
The bulk Of his prunes were Italians.
DR.. J. II. Cardwell's crop Of dried
prunes amounts to 80 tons aud he es-
Inmates that he would have had ten
tons more II It had not been for the
rains.
The prune crop Of DIR. ShaTples. at
Eugene, Or, amounted TO 80 tons
when dried. The work Of eyaporating <
them was done under the supervision
OF Il. A. Carson.
An incidental advantage Of the devsl.
opmsnt of the prune industry Is found
this year in the fact that the evapOra.
tors which were built for drying prunes
are nearly all at work now on apples.
The result will be very greatly ln-
creased output Of dried apples for which
there is fortunately an exceptional de
mand this year on account OF the gen
eral failure Of the apple orop throughout
the East.

Rattlesnake Weed.

In Monterey, as well as Santa Clara
county, there grows a weed called
the rattlesnake weed. 1t Is so named
from the story that when rattle
snakes get to fighting and bite each
other this weed. if eaten by them,
will prevent death. 1t grows about
six inches tall, has red stalk and
slender leaves. On the top of the
stalk comes a head of flowers, and
the seeds of these flowers are said to
be very annoying to one in passing
through a mass of them, as they are
furnished with sharp barbs common.

who had herds of sheep always made
their herdsmen keep with them g

snake weed, and when any of the
sheep were bitten they were drenched

Its ramifications in every country, does
not give very sure news upon the
growth and the situation Of the trade.
Brewers confidently believe that enough
hops had been picked for the supply OF
the season and await a depression Of
the prices, whilst the German mer-
chants pick up the whole crop Of Aus
tria, Hungary and the best qualities Of
Belgium, Burgundy, and other coun-
tries. The growers Of these countries,
which bad better results than Germany
were intimidated by false reports Of the
buyers and sold already a great part OF
their crop. Germany gathered 7l5,-
e56 cwts. In 1889, 364, 40 in 1882, 49,
42O cwts. 10 1890, 43s s44 cwts. in 1891,
49O, ,292 cwts. iB 1892. 1t lie impossible
that the enormous deficiency Of this
year will not have consequences some
time in the season, but as long as brew
ers and foreign merchants remain quiet
I do not expect that prices will rise
quickly. Latest news reports more
purchasers and great part Of the Ger
man crop is sold now.

Of this style Of baskets proved a great
boon to the Eastern grape growers.
The grapes keep well 10 them and they
are very handy for purchasers. Nearly
everywhere from the Mississippi valley
east the retail price Of these baskets Of
grapes is about 25 cents.
It Is evident that the boom in the
prune growing industry which Oregon
has been experiencing for some years is
about to be succeeded by an apple boom.
The fame of OTegon's apples has spread
from the Columbian exposition to every
part Of the United States, and already
strangers are arriving who are looking
for suitable locations for planting out
apple orchards. Il Is absolutely certain
that Oregon ia going to become one of
leadiug states in the production oi
winter apples. While small orchards,
com posed of many varieties, will not be
apt to yield very much profit, CONNER.
cfal orchards, which can supply each
variety raised in carload lots, will be
apt in the long run to average up a.
much, if not more, profit in proportion
to investment and expenses as any
other kind of fruit. The danger of al
over supply of winter apples is toC
small to be figured on.
