The proposed increase in the duty
on hops from cents to Is cents per
pound will be an injury rather ,han
benefit TO the producer. It will be
a hardship to the consumer, aud will
probably prove of no advantage
whatever from a revenue point of
view, and is therefore against pu bile
policy. The present duty OF eight
cents per pound affords projection to
the extent Of fully leo pei Gel mt upon
the average cost OF producing hop.
in America. In proof Of this. it
may be stated. that on the Pacific
slope. where three ifths OF the total
American crop is now produced,
hops can be grown. harvested, cured
and baled. ready for market. at @
cost Of only six cents per pound, and
can be delivered in New York at "A

Oregon crop of 1896 was sold under
contract by groweDS at 6 cents pei
pound six mony6s before ha.ves,

any outlay for The purpose of cul;iva
ton. In New York state, which
produces the other two-fifths of tn,
American crop. the cost Ct produc

TIE indifference shown to both

The indifference shown to both
propositions on the ticket yesterday
suggests that measures Of this kind
should be voted for either at special
elections called for the purpose, or
tho propositions should be at the top
instead OF at the bottom Of the ticket.
BY the time q ballot is marked the
chances are, nine out Of 10, the voter
will overlook the propositions. even
though he may have fully deter
mined to express himself on catering
the booth. Had the propositions
commanded more attention yester-
day the result on each would have
been different-the bond proposition
would have carried, while the one to
change the school system would have
been Overwhelmingly defeated.

a Sermon to Husbaads.

The average man eats only two meals
are the opportunities for social and do
nestle talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her husband
of rubbing against other minds all day,
and important to the children in widen
ing their horizon, their views of life.
At the first meal of the day most wo-
men like to talk to their husbands about
the plans of the day, but the woman
who has once received the distract, self
absorbed growl which emanates from a
male disturbed in the reading of his
newspaper does not again attempt to ask
her husband this or that on a subject of
domestic interest. The back Of q news
paper is not pleasant thing TO contem-
plate across the breakfast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
look round for the casters or other suit
able prop for the back of your paper,
and for the sake of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, reserving it for the train,
omnibus or tram car
Of course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrilling
import. Why not glance at the paper
five minutes before the breakfast bell
rings if it is really essential that such
news should be seen ut ence? Special oc-
casions sometimes justify special be-
hayior, but Of your mercy let the news
paper be banished from the breakfast
table on ordinary occasions.

 ". From Durango to the Cutie rrez station of the Mexican Central.
 At the termination of the fiscal year during which each of the above sec lions shall have been completed and approved the company is to receive the subsidy appertainlng to such sec tion. The company is to receive the bonds as per contract and without the current and all matured coupons.
 Thi subyention is not payable with respect to the lines between Mazatlau and Rosario and from the Gutierrez station of the Central to the Salinas del Pchon Blanco. Nor it is payable on double track or when the lins parallels another railway covered by prior concession or connects two points already enjoying rail commun- icatiun by virtue of the company $ own concession.
 In case the branches to Guaymas and Mazatlan be built before the main line, the company shall not be entitled to the subyention for said branches, until the main line Is completed. First the subsidy on the branches is to be paid as follows:
 For each of the three sections into which the Guaymas branch is regarded as divided, the subsidy shall be paid nn tue acceptance of such section.
 II The same rule holds for tue Mazatlan branch, except on the sec tion between Mazatlau and Rosario.
 All the periods of time mentioned in the former concession are extended 50 as to count from January 18th, ls97
 In consequence, the main line and branches must be completed before January 18th, l907.
