Wasco county can issue bulletin to
the world that by fortune she is well
favored. Upon our fertile fields the
farmers are busy turning the sod and
putting in the seed for large harvest.
The stock upon our Thousand hills"
have suffered nothing from the winter;
good growth of grass is assured; the
weather for fruit has been all that the
growers could desire. In The Dalles the
merchants are laying plans for busy
season. New buildings are going up,
which represent an outlay of many
thousands of dollars. But better than
all these signs of material prosperity is
the faith and confidence which the peo-
pie have in the future of our city. The
men who are increasing their invest
ments have seen The Dalles under vari-
ous conditions and deliberate judgment

scHooLBoYs IN CHINA.
The Lot of the Celestial Youth Is Not q
Desirable One.

Desirable One.
While modern educators are making
the claim that the youths of to-day are
held too close to their tasks and over
fond mammas find in the confinement
of the schoolroom the solution for the
pallor on their children's cheeks, a
knowledge of the course of study pur-
sued by children in China might be of
some value. At the age of five a Chinese
boy begins his schooling. At daylight
he rises, and after dressing as quickly
as possible he starts breakfastless to
school. He is given a task and after it
is completed he is allowed an hour for
breakfast. Again, later, he has an hour
for luncheon, but he is at his study
nearly IL hours day, seven days in the
week.
All this time, when he is not reciting
his lessons, he is studying aloud at the
top of his voice. He is under the eye
of his master both in school and on his
way to and from school. The lad is
taught trudimentary astronomy, physics
and natural history, but greater stress
is put upon writing and literary studies.
ga Thousand Letters" a poem, is the
study that forms the backbone of his
literary education. In it are taught
the duties of children to parents, and
all such matters. Whatever the study
may be-history, classics or science
every lesson is learned and repeated
word for word.

WHY MCKINLEY is POPULAR.

If the National Republican conven-
ton were to be held tomorrow it is more
than likely that Mckinley would be the
nominee. Throughout the country
there is an underlying feeling-more
forcibly expressed in some places than
others, but found nevertheless in all
localities where the people are an intel
ligent, thinking class-that the events
OF the last three years have set the
mark of commentator upon the course
of the Ohio statesman with deeper i'm
preston than upon the other capable
men of whose abilities and patriotism
the party is proud to boast. In the
West, where the removal of the duty on
wool has caused especial distress; in the
middle states, where the farmers are
suffering from lessened prices because
the markets for their products have
been curtailed; and in the South, where
the outlook for a great growth of manu-
featuring interests, under the workings
of a Republican tariff bill, are bright,
the sentiment is strong for Mckinley.
In the New England states, where local
pride is strong and prejudice against
the West not yet extinguished, Reed OF
Maine is in the lead, and has the sup
port of those states where the favorite
son dodge has not been worked SO sue
cessfully as in Pennsylvania and New
York.
The popular feeling for Mckinley is
easily explained-his name is linked
with the policy of protection. Although
man of broad views and capable OF
mastering the problems that the ques-
tions of the day present, he has labored
with the one end in view of bettering
the American laborer, protecting the in
dustries of the United States, and pro-
VidIng a sufficient revenue for the carry
ing on of the government, now so lam
entably lacking. The soldierly qualities
of Mckinley, his spotless record as gov
ernor Eof great state, his views and
actions on other great topics, are all
lost sight of for the instant, when the
fact is stated that he stands as the rep
resentative and champion of the protec-
tive system.

next campaign with the issue of protec-
tion in the foreground. Upon this, as
well as other questions, the party will
be united. The Republicans have made
their declaration in favor of sound
money, the writings of Dubois, Teller,
Jones, Stewart, and others of the sena-
tors who are determined for silver first
the country afterward, proving that
they are no longer Republicans in accord
with the universal sentiment of the
party.
The enactment of tariff measure
which shall revive the stricken indus
tries of the land, is the desideratum of
the American people, and it is McKin-
ley's championship of this policy that
gives him popular prestige. 1t may be
that when the convention meets Reed
or Allison will be nominated, and either
selection will make little difference in
the vote cast. The people are eager for
a return to the days of protection, and
the man who is nominated will stand
squarely upon such platform.

Under the liquidation of the buyers of

declined sharply and closed barely
steady at the lowest prices. Our cables
tell us they expect spinners may now
enter the market as good buyers. as
their holdings were reduced by the con-
sumption during the advance when
they withdrew from the market The
temper of the market, however, has
become bearlsh on the anticipated
pressure OF the receipts and the pos
sIblc tendency here Tomorrow OF the
September holdings. Our crop adj
vices, however, are of such II charac-
ter that conservative calls for further
consideration of the situation, and
while the movement of the crop may
result in further decline, we feel that
present prices are more than justified
by the crop outlook. So much de-
ponds upon the political outlook that
it is difficult to forecast the immedi-
ate future. But the money market is
bound to find relief from the importa-
tons of gold to pay for our crop which
promises to reach enormous proper
tons The market showed more steadi-
ness during the afternoon with no
great pressure apparent. Our spinners
have been buyers here to-day, the first
appearance for several months, an
evidence that supplies are exhausted

Two other remarkable cases of money
or valuables having been recovered deserve
passing notice. The first, that of the

Melbourne, part of 5000 missing from

recent recovery OF a piano lost in a colli-
sion between two steamers off Bognor.
