In Marion County.

Butteville, Or, Sept. 8.-Hops are
spelling fast. Growers of experience
predict that should the present cloudy,
rainy weather continue, the hop crop
will be entirely ruined in a few days.
Hopgrowers here are quite short of
help to pick the hops. This is account
ed for by the fact that the Growers
Association decided to pay only 80
cents box, and did not raise the price
in time to retain many whom they had
engaged. J. S. Vaughan, A. Cone,
Peter Feller and very few others have
full crews.

There was a light shower today, but
little time was lost by hoppickers.
There is a considerable amount of hops

The presidents apparent devotion to the
idea of a currency commission is at one
a.d che Same time piece OF petty politics
and 4 species OF political cowardice. 1t ie
oredrable 10 some OF the republican leaders
that they have discouraged and discounted
Mr. AeKlnleys plans in tho direction in
dieatsd. but the present chief executive is
a politician pure and simple, and states
msalike advice is of little account with
him.
Il is pointed out In Washington CORE
spondence OF interior papers that the pri-
mary motive Of sending in the currency
commission recommendations to the spe-
cial seesioa of congress Is nothing more
nor less than a scheme to aas.s, llama in

istration that there lis much dissatisfaction
and disappointment in republican ranks in

And then they viii naturally and adroltly
plead Tor the necessary extension of time

This Is the politics in the present plan of

John g Carlisle. and IN the face OF the
fact that General Buckner was q candidate
on the boiling ticket. the faction of the
soldites received only 5ili votes in the
whole State. Honesty and fair-dealing
would demand that this vote be made the
basis OF representation in the convention of
boilers that is called TO meet on the 18th
OF this month. But to do this would be
to expose the weakness OF the boiling fac
lion. convention made UP on this basis
would consist OF about twenty delegates,
and such an exposure would be fatal.
Consequently the boilers are driven into

than Cleveland did. and these votes In
