can look after his own set of irons,
those he works or works with. and
thus keep them just at the right weld
ing heat.
What. for instance, would Dingley.
from the spruce forests of Maine, or
eDalzell, from the coal mines Of Penn
sylvania, know about the eggs and
great Western prairies? What kind Of
a show do you think these vast inter-
ests would have If there were no farm
ers among the Little Fathers? They
would certainly have to look out for
themselves, and then what might not
happen? Imagine our hen industry
ruined, our breweries dismantled, be-
cause barley was blighted. Thankful
we should be, and all are, that Farmers
Tawney and Johnson are among and
of the Little Fathers who sit within
the sacred council chamber and see
that their fellow members of the great
fraternity get their due share Of the
paternal care. And grateful we all
are that their zeal overpowers their
native bashfulness and lets them give
to their secretaries for transmission to
the press details Of what they are do
ing for their great constituency in these
days Of incubation.
While these eminent agriculturists
have been mindful of all the products
Of our farms. from barley to f1axseed,
there Is one especial instance Of their
care, showing their superior knowledge
in the technique of agriculture. that
calls for especial attention and merits
the highest praise, as it also clinches
their claims on all farmers for future
support in any public preferment to
which their ambitions may lead them.
| 1t is not alone that onions are shielded
and potatoes guarded, or beans tro-
chaed and cabbage buttressed against
the insidious foreigner, but our great
poultry industry is more securely
fenced about than by the provision of
a duty Of cents a, dozen on it's fruit,
or Of cents g. pound on poultry when
full dressed. The scientific education
of Representative Tawney, especially,
| is shown in the statement that
through his efforts a duty Of 1 cent
pound has been put on chickory root
and cents pound on prepared chick
ory."
Here is where the advantage to a
Little Father Of technical knowledge
| comes in. Expert ornithologists know
| that you have not got down to the
root Of the poultry species when you
have mentioned hens and eggs and
| that behind and below them, their pro-
| toplasm, is chickory-the scientific term
! for chicken-and if that root is left I'M
| guarded the tariff paddock might as
we'll be left off the door Of the chicken
house. Fortunately, Tawney Is up in
| his profession Of farmer, and he saw
that our poultry business would go to
| everlasting smash If tariff were put
| only on eggs and poultry and left off
chickory root. But how all Is well.
| Our hens and their lords can retire to
their roosts at night and repose in
| security. So let us all give thanks that
there has been raised up for our farm
ers so learned and vigilant champion
as Tawney to sit among the, Little
Fathers and see that our farmers in
terests are not lost in the general
scramble of a tariff bill.

partment in MI. McKlnley.s cabinet,
the Tribune felicitated the country
the president-elect and the secretary
select that the third was in thorough
accord with the second and the Trib-
une in their opposition to retiring the
greenbacks, while the countrys share
or felicity was in the promise inferred
by the selection of Mr.. Gage that "the
superlative nonsense embodied in the
endless chain theory is not likely to
disturb the coming administration"
The Sun scofflngly said: 1.-THE mug

perienced, sees a glimmer Of hope for
It's revival in the rumor that Mr.. Ly-
man j. Gage may become secretary Of
the treasury. The idea that we are
again to have government by party
seems still to be ignored in some quar-
ters. Again it remarks that the
greenback abolition crus ace is as crook
ed in it's methods and almost as inim-
ical to commercial prosperity as the
late crusade for disorder and repudia-
ton" All this before Mr.. Gage had
accepted the treasury portfolio and
given out his interview in which he
was very emphatic that the greenbacks
should go on the retired list and
the Sherman notes should be sent to an
asylum as 'fdiotic and immoral" Since
then we have carefully scanned the ed
itorial and other pages Of our two
highly esteemed contemporaries to see
how they took the snub given them by
their great medicine man in thus Sc
lecting a member of the ''greenback
abolition crusade as secretary Of the
treasury. The subject seems to have
lost all it's interest for the Tribune, and
it turns to the discussion Of the tariff
and discourses on wool and sheep and
sham reciprocityta and the arbitration
treaty with snap and Vigor that indl-
cate suppressed emotion. The Sun
finds relief in increasing it's frantic
Cuban editorials and in uncorking an
other vial of vitriol for it's Cleveland
squirt gun. But about the greenbacks
and their retirement not a word. The
incoming administration is to be con-
graduated upon the tdocility of it's two
organs in the country's chief metrop-
oils.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Senator AL

with Speaker Reed and other house
leaders during the day regarding the
possibility Of the bill being brought UP

SALEM. Or, Feb. 5.-From the be-
ginning of the session the Mitchell
men have been in their seats in the
house. prepared to organize, but the
opposition composed Of Populists.
Democrats and anti Mitchell Republi-
cans, twenty nine in all. nave refused
TO enter the house and effect perman-
emit organization. The Mitchell men,
week ago Monday, attempted to
organize the house with SIM
ply majority present, and
elected Benson speaker, but it is
now generally conceded that if the Leg
1slature of the state is taken
as guide, no less than
two-thirds Of the members of the
legislature are competent to organize
and do business. Senator Mitchell has
already received the nomination for
senator by caucus composed Of forty
SIX members, or majority of the leg
1slature. 1t will therefore be decided
by the Mitchell men to force a vote for
United States Senator on the second
tuesday after organization. The Ben
son house voted Tuesday, but resolu-
ton providing for a. ballot in the SEN
ate failed of passage, several Of the
senators declaring that while they
not believe the Benson house was
legally organized, and therefore de-
clined to vote for resolution which
practically reorganized the legality Of
that house.
Wednesday the Mitchell men met in
JOINT assembly, but the necessary
fCrty-six members not appearing no
eIfort was made to ballot for senator.
The joint assembly meets from day to-
DAY, IN the hope that the necessary
forty.six can be secured, but at pres
emit Mitchell is eight short of major
1ty. 1t now seems probable that the
entire session will be wasted, and that
no ieg1slatlon will be enacted, two
third Of the session having already ex-
pired.
