Beneficial to Horticu1turists.

Hon. II. B. Miller, who is chairman Of the
special committee of horticulture OF the
board of regents, was in town Saturday last,
accompanied by Mr.. Carson. Together
they are making a horticultural survey of
the state. Mr.. Carson, who is thoroughly
posted fruit grower, began the present work
last month and thus far has visited orchards
| whose aggregate acreage is in the number OF
| 1000 acres. Being familiar with fruit, pests
| and other matters pertaining to:the industry,
| he visits an orchard and at glance is able
to see whether it is doing we'll or not. Find
ing conditions unfavcrable in any particular
in any of the orchards for the growing OF
fruit he offers remedy. Inconncction with
the work he is collecting valuable fund OF
information which is reported to the profess
or of horticulture at the Agricultural col
lege, MIR. p. U. Headrich. Mr.. Carson ex-
poets to continue his investigation for sew
eral weeks yet, and by that time will have
covered pretty thoroughly the entire Will
lamette valley. When completed, the data
gathered by Mr.. Carson will be turned over
to Prof. Headrich, who will prepare bulle-
tin bearing directly upon the results OF the
present survey. 1t is the purpose to have
this bulletin set forth all the practical infur-
nation regarding fruit growing in this state
that has thus far been obtained. 1t will be a
plain, comprehensive statement, and so far
as possible technical! and scientific terms will
be eliminated, so that every practical horti-
], culturist, whether he be college graduate
or not, will be able to thoroughly under
stand its contents.

HOW PROTECTION WORKS.

The democrats have been Jubi-
lantly pointing to the increase in
business as a proof that the Viii
son tariff bill is a success. The
Dubuque Herald goes so far as to
make the sarcastic inquiry:
"With the addition this year, made or
projected, of 100000 spindles in the cot
ton mills in the South, represeting an In
vestment of ST., 900. doesn't Mr.. NC
Kinley see how illogical he is as presi-
d .ntial candidate?"
As it happens, cotton is one oil
those articles upon which tariff
was retained high enough to pro-
tect the Southern cotton grower,
so that the increased business in
that staple is an argument moi
against but in favor of a protective
tariff.
The fact is that the bill was 6
political device only, and Southern
local interests were taken care of
Alabama iron manufacturers gel
the benefit of a high tariff, an(
wGolen manufacturers get some
benefit, but the wool grower is lef
out. The wool grower is not very
influential in the South.
In nearly every case where more
than normal advance has beer
made it will be found to be in pro
ducts which have still the protec
tion of a republican tariff thrown
around them.-Post- -Intelligencer

Morality" laws has called forth
much criticism, both favorable and
condemnatory. The law makers
in their attempts to enforce Sun
day observance were not actuated
by religious motives. They deemed
it expedient and polite that one
day In the week be observed as a
holiday of rest. The law does not
require people to worship accord
ing to any rites, or to worship at
all. In the eyes of the law Sun
day should be civil holiday.
The legislature does not attempt
to say what the citizens shall do
It simply prescribes what they
may not do. There is not much
real or sound objection to the law
equitably enforced.
There is always danger in deal
ing with moral questions that
those who are pressing their OBJ
servance may, in their endeavor
to be scrupulously just and impair
tjal, be too technical in their inter
probation Of the various laws and
excite opposition to measures
which, literally construed and
properly enforced, would eventu-
ally be acquiesced in by nearly all
classes. The law can not and does
not undertake 10 interfere Ill NOR
al matters, except so far as they
affect the public welfare or antag-
onize private rights. When it
treats of moral actions other than
those grossly wrong OR palpably
hurtful, it is treading on delicate
ground, for freedom Of conscience
is one of the dearest things to the
average American.
The most reasonable criticism
of the lately begun enforcement of
various laws, and very just crit
icism too, is, that it is confined to
Corvallis or at least Benton county.
The deputy prosecuting attorney
for this county has n, authority in
other counties, and though he has
sworn to prosecute all violations
of law that may come to his
knowledge, his sphere of action
lis limited to the county for which
he was appointed. However, the
deputies, presumably, whether ac
tually so or not, act under the i'm
mediate authority and direction o
the district attorney himself. HI
can notify and direct his deputies
to prosecute or not prosecute al
the case may be, and it is but jus
tice that his directions be uniform
throughout his district.
A law is not a good law tina
restricts or favors one portion o
the people of the tate and doe
not so restrict or favor the Who'll
people. No more just or equitabl
is it to enforce a law that apple
to the whole state against the pee
pie of one county in the state ant
let the others go free. Mr.. Brown
the district attorney for the secon
judicial district, took the same oat
that Mr.. Wilson did. The law
referred to are directed as we'll t
the people of Douglas. Lane, Lin
coin, Coos and Curry counties a
to the people of Benton. In tn
former counties these laws men
toned are not enforced. If M
Brown possesses some reasons fo
not Furnishing violation of an
laws that are on the statute book
he should advise Mr.. Wilson i'm
mediately and direct him to 'ca
off the dogs" Otherwise it is hi
sworn duty and the plainest justic
to this community that he tax

From a letter to an italian news

culled of the simple but effective
manner in which the army officers

itary AUCTIONS throughout the ter
ritory covered by the Red sea col

An Arab contended that his
neighbor owed him SIC, land demand
ed immediate payment. The latter
acknowledged the debt, but averred
that he was without a penny. He
would, however, pay in full, with
interest, if accorded one month in
which to obtain the amount. The
creditor was memorable, and, in
stead of conceding the time, sought
to collect the debt through a mag
istrate by levy upon few goats
which were the debtors only world
ly possessions except his hut and
land. The magistrate, an Italian
major, first tried to dissuade the
complainant from his hard-hearted
intention by instancing the elo-
quent counsels to forbearance and
mildness toward the unfortunate
given in the Koran. But the I'M
yielding creditor declared that the
Koran cut no figure in his suit, and
that the military law must speak.

FORBES IS PRACTICAL
I'm His Talk On the immortal Lin-
coin.

coin.
The lecture delivered by Rev. DIR.
Forbes, chaplain of the house, in rep
resentatives' hall last night was list
ened to by an audience which, although
not very large, was sufficiently appre-
ciative.
His subject, 1.-The Career of the
Great Statesman, Abraham Lincoln,
is one that has been handled on nu-
merous occasions, but Mr.. Forbes dis
cussed the character of the great man
in a way that showed his familiarity
with the forces that worked together
to produce a man that could carry the
ship of state through four such
troublous years. He said, in brief:
Just as there was just one Declara-
ton of Independence to be signed, so
there are in each century just few
great events that stand out from all
the rest In his day we have Lincoln,
standing for emancipation, just as
Moses, of old, stood for the same
principle, as applied to the Jews. The
genius of such men is solitary, and we
have no right to institute comparisons.
Lincoln's biographerS cannot agree at
all as to the prominent characteristics
of the man. Some say he was am
bilious and some express the opposite
opinion. The difference lies in the in
ability of a small mind to appreciate
the greater one"
The speaker sketched the life of Lin
coin from his childhood until he
reached the high place to which he at
tanned through so many difficulties;
and he quoted the opinions of many Of
his contemporaries on the man, and
his ability as a statesman.
In conclusion, the lecturer said:
"All great events have chronology
cal as we'll as a moral relation to his
tory It was for US that the barons
made King George sign Magma Charta,
for US that the battle of Greasy was
fought, and for US that the Declara-
ton of Independence was signed. If a
weaker man than Abraham Lincoln
had been at the head of the affairs of
our country at the critical time the
millennium would have been delayed a
thousand years.

AT THE CONFERENCE HELD

Practical, not theoretical, muncl-
nal reform was enunciated in the
council chamber last evening, not
withstanding that the committee OF
forty was not present. City char
tiers and general legislation were
discussed at length by the members
of the Joint council legislative COM
mittee and several members OF the
Ramsey county delegation, who were
present by invitation Of the council
committee.
The conference proved highly ben
eficial to the councilmen, who were
made acquainted with the nature Of
the charter bills now before the leg
islature.
Chairman Markham presided at
the session, which lasted two hours.
The members Of the Ramsey coun-
ty delegation present were Senators
Sheehan, Ozmun and Stevens and
Representatives Schurmeier, Tall
man and Barta. The three SEN
ators, all of whom have introduced
municipal measures in the senate,
were the principal speakers.
Chairman Markham opened the
proceedings by announcing that the
council was DESTROYS Of cooperating
