ing downward Mr.. Julius Ruef on
the Garden Road near Salem has
early yellow dent perfectly ripe this
last week Of August. He says half a
crop will go as far here for stock feed
and fattening hogs, as a whole crop in
Iowa. That is because we have very
little or no cold weather. There is no
trouble at all in raising 20, 30, or 40
bushels corn to the acre and r;pening
IT.. But the farmer who does this
must have stock to feed IL to. Corn
has not only become resident of Or
egon but a permanent resident, When
THE JOURNAL talked up raising corn
as regular field crop in Oregon a
few years ago it did not so soon ex-
pect to see results on so largea scale.
But we still believe in corn. We be-
lieve 1t is much better to put summer
fallow into corn, if it can be used, be-
cause cultivation needed to make a
crop will clean the soil, and the stalks
and roots plowed under will add nitro
gen to the soil, just what wheat land
needs.
One of the interesting characters of
the Capital City is Charles WOLF, bet
ter known as the little German
butcher. He has just celebrated his
50th birthday by taking few glasses
Of beer with some German friends and
talking over old times. WOLF came to
America as little boy, returned to
Germany ia time to serve in the I'm
perial Guard under King William, Of
Prussia, in the Franco-Prussian war
of 1870, was at Sedan, Metz and
Gravellotte, took part in the siege Of
Paris and came back from shooting
Frenchmen to carrying steaks, chop
ping sausage and buying cattle of
American farmers. He has been on
the coast for over twenty years and
raised family of sturdy children, of
whom Mr.. and Mrs. WOLF are very
proud. OF late Charley has got the
gold fever and has been prospecting
on Gold creek, not far from the won
derful temple once visited by THE
JOURNAL man. Charley works hard
and desires TO wrong no one. He has
constitution like iron. WOLF meas
ures about 46 inches around the chest
and prides himself on the fact that he
can lie down and let 200 pound man
dance Jig on his breast. OF happy
disposition, this writer predicts lie
will not always be the little German
butcher. He has boys nearly grown
and may one day strike it rich, as he
is only in his prime. 1t is not much
over twenty years since the present
state treasurer, Hon. Phil Metschan,
was only little German butcher In
Eastern Oregon, where il is said a
smart man can run butcher shop
and not buy nearly so many cattle as
here. But here's luck to Chas. WOLF
and his family May they live long
and happily, aud may they always

Trade is curious thing, and the
more it develops the more curious it is.
We have writer's who profess to in
struct outsiders upon all the ms and
outs of trade, but they don, seem to
hit the right nail on the heau-nine
times out of ten. The fact is that
trade is, in measure, a constant state
of warfare. 1t is every man for him
self and the devil take the hindmost.
The buyer knows nothing of the COM
binations so neatly made behind the
scenes. If he pay cent pound more
or cent pound less for his sugar it
is, practically, a matter of Indifference
to HON But that cent a pound more
may mean fortune to the wholesale
dealer, while the cent pound less
may mean his ruin.

The Earl of Kimberly, who has just
been elected leader of the Liberal
Party in the House of SLorus, is a
cousin of Mr.. Wodehouse, the former
representative of Great Britain to
these Islands. The earldom was Gre
ated in 1866. The Barony of Wode-
house goes back to 1897 and the
knighthood of the family dates to 1911.
1t was gained by gallantry at the
seige of Cadiz in that year. The Earl
of Kimberly has occupied many prom
inent positions under the Liberal adj
ministration. He has twice been under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
twice Secretary of State for the Col
onies, he represented the British Gov
eminent as ambassador AT the court
of Russia during Il very trying time,
and has been Governor of Capt Colony
In all, very honorable record.

count up 10,167. The japanese, how
ever, have brought more of their
women than the Chinese. The Japan
Sc females on the Islands amount to
5,195, and the Chinese only to 2,449. OF
course a very large number of Chin
csc are married to Hawaiian wives.
How many it would be possible to find
out, but there will be neither time r, r
money to go into such details OF the
census.
The most serious thing in the fig
ures, presented by The Star this even
ing, is the disproportion of the sexes.
There are 72,517 males to 36,503 fe-
males. In this direction there has
been anything but improvement in the
last six years. In 1890 the figures were
5S,714 males to 31,276 females, and in
1884 the males numbered 81 500 to 3d.
O39 females. This involves an eco
nomic question which one of these
days it will be interesting to argue
out theoretically. Meantime the qu 80
ton is arguing itself out practically.

A MURDEROUS SAILOR.

Locked in the strong room of the
Alameda is a burly negro sailor by the
name of Tom Grant, who is being con-
veyed to Uncle Sans domain, and at
that country's expense, to answer the
charge of attempted murder on the
high seas.
Grant and another African were
part of the crew of the American bark
Topgallant, and, while on the voyage
from the Sound to Port Pirie, Austria
liza, the two dark skinned sailors be-
came mutinous. When demonstrated
to by Captain Kilman, Grant attacked
the skipper with a sailors knife and
inflicted several nasty cuts about that
gentleman's head.

Letters from the Coast show that
the annexation cause is prospecting.
The incoming administration is, it is
said, highly favorable to the project,
and it only rests with ourselves to give
a strong push, good push and push
all together to get what we need. The
position of the anti-anneXationist on
these Islands does seem so illogical. Is
it not better to be part and parcel of a
great nation than to be waif and
stray on the broad acific, whom any
one may gobble?

If wife wants to have her
husband think as much of her
as he does of his maternal
parent she must look to the
larder and see that it is pro-
vided with plenty Of things for
the inner man. But quantity
in this instance is not the only
essential; quality plays an i'm
portant part in food articles.
You can fill a dish with
peas, but if they are not of
good quality they will remain
full. We are now st ling
genuine Petit Pois in one and
two-pound tins that are re-
markedly GOOD, and cheap.
Another delicacy is Pre-
served Mushrooms-ne new here
and we are selling them to
people who regard a good din
ner as requisite to happiness
on this earth. Black English
Mushrooms, and many French
Mushrooms go long way to-
ward filing a man out around
the vest packets.
Another triAe worth think
ing about is genuine English
jagged Hare, Where is the
Briton who would not go a
long distance for a lunch where
jagged Hare is one Of the
courses!
We have a sore full of such
things-too many varieties to
mention in week. Pickles OF
every sort-from the ordinary

building operations. are sus-
pended and every man has his
eye on the coal dealer while
watching the water pipes
showing a tendency to freeze
up.
In Honolulu, where spring
is four seasons in the year,
carpenters may work inside or
out.
The unusual operations of
the past year has had a depres-
sing effect upon edge tools, for,
like everything else, they give
way with too constant use.
We have, in view of the pros
pective demand, made a big
buy of the finest grade of tools
obtainable in Eastern maekets.
They are what carpenters and
machinists need all the time,
and when buying the best they
get that which lasts longest

breaking in"

COOLING AND WAIERy REMARKS

after the warm and sitting
weather of the past few days
should meet with general
favor.
We have been singularly
successful with our stock of
Ice Chests, in that they have
all been sold; but fortunately
for us a new lot arrived, thus
relieving us of great deal of
worry. These Ice Chests are
charcoal lined throughout, and
are much superior to Chests
in which other substances are
used. The prices range from
50 to $40, according to the
size desired.
The Alaska Refrigerators
are so we'll known, and being q
standard make, require no ex-
PLANTATION on our part except to
say that we have reduced the
price on all sizes to make room
for new goods.
A Refrigerator that has
seldom been mentioned, but
which, nevertheless, has true
meri is the Novelty Circular
Refrigerator. 1t is construct
ed wholly Of sheet iron and is
zinc lined. Through the center
is the waste-pipe and to this is
attached movable iron trays,
adjustable any distance apart.
The upper compartment is
designed for the ice, being a
large and heavy pan with tray.
1t is handsomely japanned.
A Water Cooler is a very
necessary article for use on
steamers or in restaurants,
bar-rooms or private houses.
We have a very handsome
one that just fills the bill.
The tiltering medium Of the I'm
proved Stone Filter is natural
stone mined from the earth
and never becomes foul. We
will have a glass one an ex-
hibition to show the simple
yet thoroughly effective man
ner Of doing the work.

La Estrella" of Panama, has a long
article upon the subject of leprosy and
claims that a Columbian doctor, Car
rasquilla, has obtained wonderful re-
suits in treating the disease. The
article is called forth by some state
ments in the German Press concpI n
ing DR.. Hahnberg, who was III charge
of scientific commission in Asia
Minor, and who claims to have discov-
cred a cure for leprosy. 1t would be
well for the health authorities here to
communicate with both the gentlemen
in question and get their views. The
views of DR.. Carrasquilla are We " apt
to be correct. There is a great deal
of leprosy in South America and the
physicians there have a thorough prac
teal knowledge of the disease. Vita
them it is the study of lifetime. With
the Germans it is more of a study as
a speciality. 1t is not so vital to them
as it is to the South American. 1t
is curious-it is worth investigating,
but it has no life struggle to be met
Therefore it seems best to apply to the
United States of Colombia for infor-
nation upon the leprosy question. An
ounce of practically is worth a ton of
theory.

THE lower the price OF silver,
the harder becomes the fight for
free coinage. Last year it was
30 cent dollar and this year it will
be accent dollar. This to the
average man who has been taught
to ridicule the idea of fiat money
is TN argument against silver coin-
age that is hard TO overcome.
Those who understand that all
money is the creation Of law, pre-
fer PAPER money to gold or silver
money. In fact, everybody pre-
fers paper to silver. This is evil
dent from the fact that there are
hundreds of millions in coined sill
Yer now locked up in the U. s.
treasury against which silver GER
,iticatcs have been issued. 1t is
time Bryan and the democratic
party began to talk about scientific
money and pay less attention to
free coinage of silver, if they ever
expect TO get into power.

In discussing department stores
and moncpolies, Ezra Morris, in
the Twentieth Century, very truth
fully concludes as follows:
"What then, are we to do? Can
we successfully legislate against
economy? Can we successfully
legislate against better machinery
and better facilities? | think not;
these great productive and dis
tributive concerns are with US, not
only to stay, but to grow larger
and more embracing; and the
question for the people to decide
is, whether they shall master or
continue to be mastered. The at
tempt to regulate trusts is proving
futile, simply because economic
forces are stronger than political
obviously /. must be best for
the people not to attempt TO undo
that which is done, and which is
plainly best, brt rather in some
natural way, TO take charge of
business in n business way; for
there must be an orderly way to do
what should be done"

THERE are enough voters in
Ohio outside of the $4,000 popu.
lists to settle the fight between
Hanna and Mclean for the sena.
torship. The populists have more
important business to attend to.
If Mclean wins the fight. it will
be only compromise at best; il
Hanna wins, the fight against plu.
tocrscy will be augmented. A
compromise always means delay,
and delays nre dangerous.

"CHoosE the least of two evils"

CHOOSE the least Of two evils"
has always been popular cry in
politics. That cry has always
been raised in OHIO. Millionaire
Hanna represents one wing of the
money power and Millionaire Nc
Lean represents the other. There
are $4,000 to 100000 populists in
Ohio who have no sympathy with
either of the two old parties and
who look upon fusion with either
wing as a compromise or surrender
of their principles. There is no
doubt but Hanna would pay ST.
100000 for the support, directly or
indirectly, of the populist vote
this year in Ohio, and Mclean
would chance million If he could
secure the same support. Whence
came this $4,000 or 100000 votes?
And what is to hinder SO large a
party from increasing in numbers,
provided j: pursue the even tenor
of its way? Why should a party
that eau boast of $4,000 members
disband and choose between two
evils? Coxey is not our ideal can
didate but we bclieye the populist
party in every state should main
tain straight and independent
tickets and let the consequences be
what they may, and let the inIi-
vidual members of the old parties
do the choosing between two evils;
they are certainly CAPABLE of that
much independence of thought
and action.
