1t is to be hoped the tariff bill will be
disposed of as soon as possible, so as to
give business a chance to adjust itself to
the new lines. Summer is coming on
with its harvest of early fruits, grain and
vegetables, and at the market prices
which would prevail the effect would be
ruinous. Our first crop will be straw
berries, which is scarcely three months
distant. Our most profitable market
has heretofore been in Eastern Washing
ton and Montana. Today this region is
practically dead. Three months is short
time to revive from a general business
depression, and it may confidently be
asserted that prices will rule even lower
than last year, with the possible excep-
tion Of the first week or two of supply,
which is always limited. After this
comes the peach crop, small fruits,
summer apples and green goods. All OF
these will undoubtedly suffer from the
prevailing ailment. We may congratu-
late ourselves if the fall harvest realizes
prices paralleled by those of previous
years. Everything awaits the tariff bill
Hurry up with it, whether it be good
bad or Indifferent.

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being la constitu.
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood

thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength

Oregon's representatives in congress
have long been recognized as men OF
might, but our people must not be dis
appointed if appropriations for rivers
and harbors come out at the little end of
the cornucopia this year. With so great
deficit already, the gold reserve
propped up only by an issue of bonds, a
tariff bill inadequate even for revenue,
and business depression SO widespread,
the outlook for appropriations of any
kind is decidedly slim.

The East Oregonian classed Hon. T. T.
Geer is GO staunch gold advocate - and
the man from Marion acknowledges the
corn after this fashion: Why yes, 1
am 'staunch advocate of gold and have
always been-likewise OF silver. I also
frequently advocate bread and meat, in
judicious quantities; but protest against
the inference that because I sometimes
advocate bread and meat that am con-
sequently and nesscearily opposed to
pork and beans. In fact, I find it quite
possible for men in their normal condi-
tion to advocate two or more good things
at the same time, but you will find quite
a sprinkling of men in the country upon
whom the mention of the word gold
produces much the same mental effect
that seizes mad dog when placed with
in sight of water.

RUSSIAN EXPLORATIONS.
The Government Is Well Supplied witt
Reliable Maps.

The Government Is Well Supplied with
Reliable Maps.
A vast but fascinating problem con-
fronts Russia on her Chinese frontier
problem which cannot be disposed of
in one or even two generations. No
power, however, knows better how to
wait than Russia. Time is on her side,
and as the necessary preliminary to all
wise action is knowledge, the Russian
general staff has been making the full
est use of the opportunities which
treaties afforded to gain accurate in
formation concerning the Chinese ter
ritories and everything appertaining
thereto.
Not a corner of the whole empire,
save what comes within the ''sphere of
influence" of the French, but has been
intersected by Russian government ex-
fplorers and armed expeditions during
the past thirty years.
These explorers, include botanists
and geologists. of course, but the mill-
tary expert and the skilled topographer
are the animating soul of these expe-
ditions.
Occasional glimpses into their pro-
ceedings are allowed to the world, but
every fact of military or political sig
nifcance is carefully conserved in the
archives of the Russian intelligence
department.
The minute information concerning
all the northern and western terrific
ries of China, which is now in the pos
session of the Russian staff, is not only
such as no other power possesses, but
is incomparably superior to anything
in the hands of the Chinese govern
1nent itself.
Hence it is that whenever question
of boundaries arises Russia is. prepared
with elaborate maps of the regions, tc
which Cuba has not only nothing t.
| oppose, but which she is not even abl,
to criticise.

Another story of the great strength of
the czar of Russia is told. While on a
return journey to St. Petersburg few
days ago, the train bearing the czar and
czarina stopped at a small station to
allow theimperial party to take luncheon.
The daughter of the mayor of the village
presented bouquet of flowers to the
empress, but forgot to dry the stems.
The empress, not wishing to soil her
white gloves, hesitated moment about
taking the flowers, and the situation be-
came embarrassing. The czar, however,
saw heavy pewter plate on the table,
picked it up, twisted it into holder,
placed the bouquet in it and handed it
to his wife. The czar is said to be one
of the strongest men in Europe.

The trade crank is about the cra-
ziest of the lot. He wants US to send
about four hundred million dollars of
our hard-earned cash over to England
for woolen goods instead of paying it for
homemade goods. He would send all
this cash out of circulation here, turn
hundreds and thousands of American
workmen out of employment and thus
create good times out of cheap pauper
labor goods.-Klamath Star.

The senate judiciary committee has
postponed the decision on the nomina-
ton of Peckham to the supreme court
until next Monday. 1t is believed that
the committee will make an unfavora-
BILE report and that the nomination will
be rejected by a vote as large as was
cast against Hornblower. Indeed, un-
less some of the charges, particularly
that of being violently intolerant of the
opinion of others, are false, and they
have not been disproven, he is SO un-
fitted for seat on the bench of any
court that he should be rejected, even if
Mr.. Cleveland's open use of patronage
to buy democratic votes for confirmation
were not sufficient excuse for rejection.
The administration added insult to
the injury it this week inflicted upon
thirty republican clerks-a number of
them Union veterans-in dismissing
them from the pension Office, by caus-
ing the statement to be published that
the clerks were discharged for drunken
ness and general incnmpetency. It
would seem the democrats might have
been satisfied with depriving these men
of their places without trying to prevent
their securing places in private employ
by giving such reasons for their dis
missal.
Mr.. Cleveland has never been person
ally popular with the people of Wash
ington, who are as rule law abiding
folk. But if he had been ever SO popu-
lar his act in pardoning the most noto-
rious dive keeper in the city who was
serving term in the work house fol
selling whisky without license, would
have made him unpopular. The man
who was pardoned is the head of g
family which has had one hundred and
fifty y-odd trials in Washington courts fol
crimes ranging from murder and bur
glary down to petty violations of law
The pardon was granted in the face o
