sentiment of all loyal hearts when he said
TO Mckinley: "Your nomination means
an Endorsement of your heroic youth,
your fruitful years of arduous public SER
wart Americanism, your Christian char
acter and the purity of your private life
In all these things you are the typical
American. for all these things you are the

TIMES WILL BE BETTyR.

THE JOURNAL is not a pessimist
1t belieyes times will be better. 1t
stands the victorious administration
and even the Cleveland administra-
tion in hand TO make times better.
The honest dollar people who talk
so loud about maintaining the honor
and integrity of the country have
had their way. The dollar will not
be debased, as they call it. 1t can
now be put out. It's quality is unim-
paired. 1t ought now to circulate
freely and we hope and believe twill.
We believe improvements will now
be made. Labor will be employed.
Prosperity will be increased. That is
sincerely the desire of the people who
voted for Mckinley. They are honest
in this and we believe will realize
their hopes in partly realizing better
times right away or at least within a
year.

The Hop Outlook,

The shortage in this years hop crop
has been more than has been antlci-
pated by even the dealers who are sup
posed to keep posted on the hop har-
vest. AS consequence hops have
taken a decided raise in price with ev-
cry prospect that there will be no
dropping back to ruinously low rate of
two months ago. The small quantity
harvested is only partially responsible
for the raise in price, the leading fac
tor being the superior quality Of this
years crop over that of the past two
years. There is enough Of old hops on
hand to last the brewers for another
year. Heretofore the growers could
sell anything they baled, with the re-
suit that much of the hops put on the
market was caTelessly picked and not
always dried ard cured as they should
have been. At the beginning of the
hop harvest this year the extreme low
price of hops made it apparent that
only first class hops could be sold that
the greatest care should be exercised
to secure a clean and well cured article.
This care with the greater experience
that they have attained has made the
crop of '9G one of the best ever put on
the market. AS a result of the fine
article offered the brewers are buying
the new crop in preference to the old.
The lesson that this year teaches our
hop raisers, is that there money in the
business and only send out a strictly
first class article. The indications are
that the price will be at a paying rate
next year. After giving their yards
the necessary cultivation the growers
who have realized the best prices this
year are the ones who had an expert
inspector precede the pickers each day
through the yard and break down ev-
cry vine that showed indications of
mould or was inferior in any way, so
as to preclude the possibility of the
pickers from getting the poor hops,
which they so often do by reason of
their lack of experience in judging the
Quality,o or haste in filling their boxes.
A rigid yard Inspection makes it i'm
possible for the sale of the crop to be
injured by few mouldy or half-rlpe
hops that the pickers may have gath
cred and with the proper skill in cur
ing, our hop men can build up a repu-
tation for Oregon hops that will give
them paying market for each years
crop.

LANE COUNTY.

A member OF the Bryan campaign
committee in Lane county writes
THE JOURNAL as follows:
"The smoke of the great battle is
now clearing away and while the sill
yer forces of Lane county feel keenly
the sting Of defeat, they are by nc
means conquered They shout and
cheer the great leader w. j. Bryan, as
Justify today as they did in the thick
est of the fight, and declare him
greater in defeat than ever before. /
drop you this line to thank you from
the bottom Of my heart for the gal
lant fight you have made in this cam
paign for the principles which are
right and will in the end prevail.
also congratulate you on receiving
the highest vote on our ticket in this
county.
The Republican managers are very
sore over their defeat in this county
and we are very proud of the local
victory. We made a great fight
against heavy odds and aid as well or
better than any county in the state
considering all circumstances"
The Lane county Bryan workers
have any reasons to be proud. They
had not only powerful organization
against them, but they had to come in
contlct with treacherous elements in
their one ranks. Republicans and
Democrats of prominence have been
parading themselves as silver men be-
fore the peopleEof Lane county until
the people were confused and did not
know who to believe. These pre-
tended silver men have now all taken
their places in the gold party and caE
no longer misslead anyone as to where
they stand.
So far as the editor of THE JOURNAL
is concerned, he is grateful to his
friends in Lane and every county. |
He makes no pretentions to popularity
1r superiority in political morality to
Jhe rest of mankind. He wants no
more honest dollars than any other
'airly honest man. A dollar he can
support his family with is good
enough.

HOW TO HELP THE FARMER.

That is the question. Mckinley
says open up more factories. Make
more manufactured goods to sell.
Carnegie builds two new blast furn'
aces. That will employ more laborers
in Pittsburg. He will build more
railroads. That means more millions
of bonds and stocks sold in Europe
and more millionaires in America.
How help the farmer? A Salem
gold paper says, watch silver go down
to so cents an ounce and lower. VIII
that help the farmer, when the gold
countries of Europe buy that cheap
silver to buy cheap products in silver
standard countries that our farmers
have to compete with in the open
market? We shall see.
If Europe should'have short crops or
Asia have famine, by the suffering
Of millions we could get better prices
as a result. But that is purchasing
at an awful sacrifice and
cannot be relied upon to help our
farmers.

THE INDIAN VOTE.

A correspondent at McMinnville
writes as follows:
care the Indians on the reServa-
tions citizens? If the statute which
l have set out above is the only act
bearing .on Indian citizenship, they
are not citizens, because they cannot
be citizens under this act unless they
reside separate and apart from any
tribe, and adopt the habits of civilized
life. The Indians in Yamhill and
Polk counties reside on the reserva-
tion and are under the charge of an
Indian agent. 1t is not according to
the habits OF civilized life to be in
charge of an agent, appointed by the
United States government. These
Indians are still "wards of the ma
tiOn," under a sort of guardianship.
Civilized people do not so live. 1t
seems to me that these red men are
not citizens, and have no right to vote.
There may be some other statute
bearing on this question which have
not,examined. II there is, l should
like to have the Oregonian publish it.
If they have no right to vote, they
should be compelled to refrain from
so doing in the future, and if it is
illegal to sell or give them intoxicat-
ing liquors, the disgraceful practice
which has gone on unpunished for
some time should be brought to a
hasty conclusion. call attention to
the foregoing to draw'out discussion
of these questions, hoping that sell
ing liquors to these half-civilized peo-
pie and voting them may be stopped. +"
This matter will probably be fully
Investigated in the congressional l
election contest between w. S. Van
derburg and Thos. Tongue. Tongne's
title rests almost'entirely on the In
dian vote. If the reservation Indian
cannot vote Mr.. Tongue is too honest
man to even attempt to hold Mr..
Vanderburg's seat.

A PENNY PAPER.

Judge Cooley, in his "Blackstone's
Commentaries. says: The establish
ment Of penny newspapers for the
cheap and rapid diffusion of import
ant news has contributed more to the
spread of intelligence among the peo-
pie and to increase the general educa-
tion of the masses of the people than
any one other cause" THE JOURNAL
was the first penny paper established
on the Pacific coast, and its circula-
tion in this campaign has nearly
trebled.
THE JOURNAL is proud of it's labors
In uniting the people of this state.
There 'has never been in Oregon an
organization of the people capable of
checking the aggressions of the mer-
cenary politicians who have preyed
upon every department Of this state.

stitution, enacted the most vicious
laws, practiced the most shameless
politics from primaries to election Of

Cheesemakers of United States have
a good chance now to regain the con-
tidence of the British cheese con-
sumers. Cheese is short in England,
and there is likely to be good demand
for our product if it can be guaranteed
as possessing good quality.
Beware OF this fraud, it is called
"collerine. 1t is compound for the
preservation of milk. 1t has been
pronounced fraud and Injurious to
the health, by the experiment station
at Cornell University, of New York.
The'motto of every farmer should
be: To raise everything he has to eat
that it is possible, and what you have
to buy, pay the cash for and never sell
anything only for cash. Do away as
much as possible with the barter and
trade business, and educate the mer-
chant to pay cash, by buying for
cash. Get on cash basis. When
hard times press the fGrme", he
can live almost entirely upon the
products of the farm. by living
nearly entirely on the products Ct
your own labor, along with frugal
habits, and the present upward tend
ency Of the markets, there is reason
to believe that the farmer will have a
better show now to get out of debt.

the plants have had a very

the following reason: BY planting in
the fall the plants have about four to
six months to root and make prepara-
tions for an early start in the spring,
as good weather approaches, while on
the other hand if the plants were

A dentist whose practice has been
for many years largely among persons
who would commonly be called of u
"refined and cultured class" is re-
ported as finding the neglect of clean
illness among the children of such per
sons most astonishing. He states chat
"these children were being trained in
all the arts and science, yet in one
school where there were 700 pupils,
500 of them, from ten to eighteen
years of age, only fifty cleaned their
teeth twice day, 275 used tooth
brush sometimes, and 175 did not own
toothbrush; in the primary depart
ment, where there were 200 children,
from six to ten years of age, it was
found that not more than ten were
provided with toothbrushes Fur.
ther inquiry and investigation showed
that this school was not an exception
in the matter. DIR. Ritter, of Berlin,
found that of 637 persons. 400 of
whom were under fifteen years of age,
only forty-dve, or slightly more than
five per cent, had perfectly sound

Hogs Under Military Drill.

Major Carpenter, a veteran who
conducts farm near Stockbridge,
Mich, gave an exhibition yesterday
which proves that ordinary hogs may
be educated to n high degree. The
Major has introduced military discip-
line among his porkers to such an ex-
tent that they go through the evolu-
tions with almost human precision.
The exhibition yesterday was given
by Major Carpenter for the benefit of
few former army comrades. who pro.
noaacA1 it wonderful. Eight of the
animals formed in line at the Majors
command, and stood like SO many
statues. In front of them, about two
rods. was u trough into which farm
hand then dumped five or six pals of
mixed feed. The hogs took great in
terest in the operation, aud their lit
tie eyes twinkled in anticipation, but
not hog of them stirred until the
Major cried out: Forward! March I"
When they were three feet from the
trough he commanded "Haltl" and
all stood still, though 1t was evident
they were laboring under great ex-
oitement. Finannlly he shouted
"Charge!" and eight porcine noses
went into the trough at the same in
slant. When the meal was over the
animals reformed in line, marched
solemnly to their pen aud were dis
banded by wave of the Majors hand.

Tho BloW Gun.

The blow gun Is one of the most re.
markable savage devices in which conf.
pressed air is used as motive force.
The blow gun is simple tube Of cane
smoothly cleared Of the joint partitions
through which light darts, feathered
with tuft Of down, or pieces Of plth,
are propelled by the breath.
The blow gun Is used for killing birds
and small animals. Frequently the
arrows are poisoned, rendering the light
dart effective on larger game. The
chief merit of the blow gun Is the &c.
curacy and the silence with which II
may be employed
The penetration Of the blow gut dart
is greater than would be imagined. At
the distance Of fifty feet I have driven
blunt dart one-quarter Of an inch into
pine plank. 1t is stated that the range
Of the blow gun among some tribes is
from eighty to one hundred yards.
The blow gun Is a tropical device,
and may be looked for in regions where
bamboo or cane grows. Nevertheless,
these tubes are often made of hard
wood, single or Of two pieces followed
out and Joined together. Frequently
one tube is thrust inside of another to
secure rigidity. The examination Of
many of these blow guns inspires a
great respect for the ingenuity and me-
chanical skill of the workers
The North American specimens arc
from the Chetlmachas, of Louisiana,
who frequently combine the tubes in
series, forming compound blow gun,
and the Cherokees, of the Carolinus.
From Central America, the Indians of
Honduras and Costa Rica; from South
America, several Amazon tribes from
Ecuador east and from British Guiana
employ the blow gun.

Harnessing the Sun.

When we sit in front of coal fire and
enjoy its generous warmth, do we real
lie that the heat and light of the burn!
Ing coal are really sunshine that has
been stored up for ages? Such Is the
fact Centuries ago the sun shone on
the earth, the plants and trees grew.
fell, and grew again: they were cover
ed BY geologic deposits, and acted upon
BY great heat and pressure, dntdl IN the
eourse Of years and ages these broad
layers OF organic matter were trans.
formed into coal. The coal thus repre-.
Sents the work done by the sunshine
years ago, and when 1t Is burned the
imprisoned solar energy Is loosened
again.
Our system Of power production de-
pends upon this presence Of energy. But
eoal is a wasteful source of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
oyer 10 per cent Of the calculated ener.
gy OF the heat Of coal. And, besides
this, 1t is an inconvenient thing in
many ways; 1t has to be mined, freight
cd and stored. Can we not find some
more economical way of using the suns
energy?
During the last few years the great
progress in electrical science has ena-
bled man to utilize the solar heat in q
thriftier way. During its days work
tho sun draws up large amount Of
water from the oceans and damp earth.
By the action of dts rays plant life -four
ishes, and plants draw from the ground
and ndevdporateintot theair large amounts
of water. Thus an oak tree Of average
size, with seven hundred thousand
leaves, lifts from the earth into the air
about one hundred and twenty-three
tons of water during the five months
1t displays Its foliage This evaporated
water, sooner or later, falls as rain,
and by the action of gravity begins to
flow downward. Thus the great rivers
are fed. Round and round necessarily
goes the water lifted by the tireless sun
to fall when deserted by him, and again
to fall and run seaward as long as &
may exist upon this earth.
