has been selfish and inconsiderate
women who accept all chivalrous atten-
tions from men as right, without a
thought that they owe even the cour-
tesy of thank you in return. 1t is
good time to begin such teaching when
women are entering upon wider
sphere of work with greater recogni-
tion of rights the same as those Of
men. 1t would be loss rather than a
gain if these new rights should be as
sumed in such a way as to knock down
the old ideas of chivalry among men.
and the best way to maintain these
will be to teach the new woman the
same chivalry toward men as Is taught
the bows toward women.
The New York Sun agrees with Re
publicans that the arraignm ent of the
Democratic administration in the Ohio
Republican platform is just. and says
that the only reply Democrats can
make is that Democracy, the Democ-
racy of Jefferson and Jackson and Til
den, is accountable for none of these
things: that Democracy has been be-
trayed and swindled by its own trus-
tees of power" This will be a novel
defense, and it will be interesting to
see the Democrats making such cam
paign in this country. Who will be
the leader to stand on such platform,
denouncing the present administra-
ton and defying President Cleveland
and his thousands OF otfice-holders!
The great question in political cir
cles is, Who will be secretary of state,
to occupy the position made vacant by
the death of Mr.. Gresham? Attorney
General Olney is the latest person
named, and his legal training will
fit him for diplomacy. Whoever re-
ceives the portfolio must bend to the
will of MIR. Cleveland. for he is
especially adapted to be president and
secretary of state, and no other for
eign policy than that followed for the
past two years will be introduced while
the Democrats are in power in Wash
ington. The present administration
will be distinctly Democratic, not only
| in regard to the tariff, but also in the
manner in which our foreign relations
will be managed.
Mr.. James J. Hill, owner of the
great Northern railroad, who is now
visiting Portland with his family,
seems to be prevaded with the same
reticence in regard to affairs connected
with his railroad enterprises as has
always characterized his actions. To
the inquiry in reference to the control
of the Northern Pacific, rumors having
been afoat that Mr.. Hill to assume
control, he would give no answer
either one way or the other, but said
that the Northern Pacific would be
reorganized and placed on a sound
financial basis. Evidently Mr.. Hill is
firm in his control of railroad proper
ties as he ever has been, and means to
continue so. and that in his own man
ner of action irrespective of all other
pulls to the contrary.
The constant fearful drought over
nearly all the regions north and west
of the Missouri river renders it certain |
there will be great deficiency in their |
crops The apple, potato, wheat and |
corn crops of that great region which |
usually supplies a very extensive de-
mand, will not only be lacking but an
increased demand will come from their
millions of people and ipsures larger |
price than customary. Their hay crop |
is also total failure. Unless large |
soaking rains shall be received before
the middle of June it is probable that
Out NSTL IOOuo vi SldSSOS, SlONCl,
weeds and most trees will have been
utterly destroyed. The cause of this
is drought succeeding upon long
ruinous drought. Common rain show
srs do no good. The lower earth is all
lust.
The Democratic press of the country
are very jubilant over future pros
poets, and speaks of the indications as
the "better times" foreshadowed by
the Wilson tariff. Every one will ad;
NIT there are signs of Improvement
but this will have to be kept up for a
long while before the country will en-
joy the prosperity experienced under
Republican rule. The Mckinley tar
iff filled the treasury to overfowing,
paid the laborer the highest wages
and made business of all kinds 1ucra-
tive: but Wilson free-trade, in less
than year, reversed these conditions,
and the people have suffered as they
never have before. Tim1 could not
be worse than they have been, and
possibly they may be better by the ex-
ercise of economy and thrift on the
part OF our citizens; but until Re-
publican congress restores protection

The prospects of good price for
wool and a rise in wheat are very en-
to the producers of the
northwest, and, with cheap rates of
from The Dalles, will
be very beneficial to this community.
More wool will be marketed this year I
han ever before, and the fieeces are of
exceptionally fine quality. 1t is ex-
oected the wheat harvest will also be {
Tery bountiful, and farmers are calcu- r
ating to receive from 80 to 20 cents a
,ushel. The future is very promis-
ng, and producers are satisfied if a
hey can receive fair prices 2
Or the output of their farms and Il
locks in sound and staple currency. 8
Any people should be satisfied with
,ood crops commanding good prices in
,ood money, worth everywhere 100 g
ents to the dollar. This is much bet d
er than high values in deprecated e
worth forty to fifty cents on r
he dollar, for which the silverites, in g
heir delusive ideas on finance, are p
praying. g
