rARMrRs AND COMMISSIONERS


When the farmer sends loao Oh
produce to the city commission mer-
chant aud receives check In settle-
ment for about one tenth the real
value of the consignment, there is
something wrong. An exchange
CT an instance where a farmer re-
ceivuN a report from an agent show
ing sales of forty barrels of parsnips
Mt 40 cents, amounting to $l6. From
this was deducted freight $3.50: cart
age, 90; commission, SLIGO, leaving
balance of $3.50. 1t is easy to see VINO
made the profit; the single item OF
$3.50 for freight contains a world oil
meaning. 1t shows that the farmer
did not do wisely when he shipped to
n distant market, ard that the rail-
road corporations are robbing the
agriculturists whenever they get an
opportunity.
Now as to the practical problem Oh
shipments to market, the producer
must understand his business or he is
sure to meet with just such reverses.
II he is wise he will learn from mis-
fortune, but learn che must in some
way IL he is ever to make the ship
ment OF produce success. Too often
the farmer proceeds on 'the principle
that all he has to do is to grow the
crops and put them on the cars ana
that the returns Will look after them
selves. The fact is that unless he
dIsposes OF his products in his home
market he has only begun operations,
when the crop is harvested ana safely
stored IN the barn.
From this time on his success In
turning the results Of his labor into
money will depend rather upon his
skill as merchant than as farmer.
He must study the market reports
aud know when and where TO sell to
best advantage. He must be in touch
with commission merchants who will
deal with his interests not only fairly
but intelligenJly. In short, he must
use the same wise discretion in the
sale of his wares that the successful
merchant uses, and with few excep-
lions, he will achieve gratifying
results,

CANNING AND PICKING.

A writer who claims to be an au'
thority on the subject of canning says
that the fruit and vegetable canning
business of the United States repre-
sents an INVESTED capital of Sic, 100000
an annual trade of S30,000,OO0, and
employees, to the number of more than
60,OOO. This branch Of American
canning is carried on most largely in
two states, Maryland and New York,
and in respect to the number of es'
tablishments, the amount of business
done. the capital invested and the
number of employees, Maryland is fal
ahead. Included In this industry
is the corn packing business, which is
carried on extensively In New York
Maine, Maryland, Illinois. Iowa and
Kansas; the canning of tomatoes II
New Jersey, Maryland, Indiana, Vir
ginia and Kentucky; fruit canning, II
Maryland, Delaware, California ant
Michigan.
Closely allied to the aboye is thu
preparing and preserving OF pickles
sauces, etc. The trade is increasing
at a rapid rate, There are said to b.
at present nearly 400 factories en-
gagged In this line, having an annua
product worth slO,OOO,0Oo. Pennsyl
yaula, aud Louisiana do the large'
volume of this business.

NO CENSORSHIP WANTED.

Never before in the history of this
country has there been censorship
OF the press. 1t is a new feature OF
our government and one which is
radical departure from the hitherto
accepted principles Of our free instltu-
tions. Free speech and a free press
are corner stones In the foundation OF
the republic, and the present policy OF
suppressing news and bridllng the
press is wholly repugnant to the spirit
of the American people. Nothing but
the exigencles of war could justify 1t.
The people demar d the news and will
have 1t at any cost, except when they
know that its publication would be
highly prejudicial to the cause of
American arms, and they will excuse
this arbitrary exercise Of a centralized
government only so long as war makes
it necessary.
1t is unfortunate that the reckless
conduct OF a few sensational daily
papers should have compelled the
government TO discriminate against
all newspapers In the suppression and
interdiction of legitimate news. Yet
the truth Is that the sensation mon
gers have brought the entire news
gathering fraternity Into such disre-
pute as tocall forth the most drastic
measures Of news censorship. These
measures may be Justified under the
circumstances, but they are not mer-
tied by the press at large, and must
be modified as soon as possible

CLOSED LAST NIGHT.
End ofa Successful Season at Reeds
B. Opera House.

End Of a Successful Season at Reeds
s- y Opera House.
What has been more than an ordi-
narily successful theatrical season at
Reeds opera house closed last night
with a creditable presentation Of the
funny musical farce comedy "The
Prodigal Father" by a we'll selected
company of genuine artists under the
direction Of Lynn Welch.
Owing TO the fact that there were
several other entertainments in town
last night, and that the evening was
rainy, the audience was not so large
as the merits Of the production de-
manded. 1t was an enthusiastic
crowd however, and all present en-
joyed themselves to the fullest extent.
In looking back through the event
Of the season just closed, the Messrs.
Patton, the enterprising managers Of
the opera house, haYe much cause to
congratulate themselves on their
work, feeling assured that they have
won and have received the good will
and the thanks Of every amusement
loving citizen of the city. They have
secured and brought to Salem nearly
every attraction of merit, that has
visited the north west and have been
particularly fortunate IN avoiding,
what are generally known as bum
shows.
The local management of the Reed
has been just as we'll conducted.
Every detail has been carried out
with the end In view of making every
patron comfortable. The personnel
of the managerial staff is as follows:
e. @, Patton, manager; H. d. Pat
ton, business manager; M. s. Skiff,
treasurer; VIM. Monroe, stage mana
ger; d. Quinn, assistant stage mana
ger; Ed, Baker, head usher; Frank
Conover, programmer; X. L. Gesner,
musical director.
The Messrs, Patton are already at
work, making arrangements to give
the public better service than ever,
next season.

POLITICIANS FeAR NOTHING.

A dlscordant note 10 the conduct OF
military operations thus far has
marred the harmony that ought to
prevail ct thistimei-it is the presence
and prevalence Of the professional
polotician and the fayorite son Ia
military circles. The professional
politician Is always in evidence. He
fears neither God nor man. II he can
associate himself with some ultra

CERVERA'S ELECT.
Still Bottled Up in Santiago de Cuba
Harbor.


Harbor.
WASHINGTON, June l5.-Any doubts
that may haYe existed as to the
presence Of the entire fleet of Admiral
CerYera in the Santiago harbor has
been dispelled by dispatch which
was received yesterday at the naval
department from Admiral Sampson.
The dispatch reads:
"Mole st, Nicholas, June 13-Lieu-
tenant Blue has just returned from
detour Of seventy statute miles Of OBJ
servatiOn of the harbor Of Santiago.
He reports that the Spanish feet is
all there and that Spanish attacked
vigorously the camp at Guantanamo.
An outpost of four marines were
killed and their bodies mutilated bar
barously. Surgeon Gibbs was killed.
SAMPSON"
Up to this time, all information as
to the number of vessels, lying in the
harbor, shielded from observation by
the hills, had been obtained from b
Cubans, supplemented by occasional
gllmpses from outside the entrance.
Now, however, according to Lieu
tenant Blue, the ships have been ac-
tually seen by. American officers,
counted and inspected from points of
advantage afforded by the high hills
surrounding the harbor, The officials
here are full of praise fer Lieutenant
Blues achievement.
Victor Blue has been long known in
the navy as an enterprising and dar-
ing.young officer, but 1T has required a
good deal of sustained courage for
him to go ashore in hostile country,
and alone made his reconnaissance. He
is, in the eye of military law,
nothing more nor less than a spy, and
had he been captured by Spaniards he
would have been tried by drum head
court martial and executed.

CESTIAL GOVERNMENT.
Viceroy Chang Will Be Made Councillor
of the Enemy.

NSeIoy SnanB VIII be Maoe Councllor
of the Enemy.
SHANGHAI, May 20.-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press. .)-These
are trying times in China. The inn
perlal government is passing through
a crisis. The intrigues and cross-in-
trigues of the court, the general and
constant friction between the Man
churian and the Chinse imperial
councils are complicating matters.
Prince Kung, the imperial adviser, is
at the point Of death. 1t can be
stated upon the highest authority
that al his death reorganization Of
the council Of state will be made.
The famous viceroy, Chang, Chi
Tung, is now In Shanghai. He will
shortly 20 to Peking, at the request
of the emperor. 1t is presumed that
at the death of Prince Kung, Viceroy
Chang will be made one of the i'm
mediate councillors of the emperor,
Though Chang Chi Tung is ar elderly
man, he ranks with Ii Hung Chang
In progressive ideas, 1t will be a
new era for China if Viceroy Chang
does enter on the duties of the council
chamber, for then he and Ii Hung
Chang will be able to out vote the
the third member, who is an ultra
conservative. There is, however,
one condition to note; personally Ii
and Chang haYe been enemies, The
world will probably have fine chance
to learn whether these two great
leaders in Western ideas in China
will sink out Of sight their personal
differences and work together for
the reformation and consolidation of
the empire.
The emperor is fully alive to the
crisis on. In an imperial proclama-
tion now being sent to the various
governors, he frankly bemoans "the
present great troubles of the empire, :"
and summons his subjects to invest In
the bonds Of the new national loan in
order that he may be relieved from
financial care in the midst of these
international complications.
On May 8 the extraordinary an
nouuncement was made that Prince
Kung, who was previously reported
to have expired on May 2. was still
alive. 1t was said that the prince had
lapsed into Inconsistencies and that
Chinese doctors in attendance had
mistakenly announced him dead. 1t
waa added that the prince had since
awakened, but that his condition was
critical.
After the Chino japanese war sew
eral reform clubs were projected by
influential Chinese, looking toward
the renovation of Chinese politics.
One of these societies was gathering
power when it oyershot the mark and
was summarily annihilated by the
throne. At present a formidable or
ganization of progressive Chinese is
being organized throughout the en-
plre. 1t is to be analogous, with
branches In each city aud town.

FIGURING ON THE RESULT.
Republican Leaders Estimate That
RooseveIt's Plurality Will BE in
I'm Excess of 10000,

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Politicians were
all figuring to-day on the result of the
coming election in this state.
Frederick S. Gibbs, Republican national
committeeman, gave the following esti-
mate: Roosevelt's plurality north of
Bronx, 10000; Van Wyck's plurality south
of Bronx, 5000; Roosevelt's plurality in
the state, 5000.
Colonel Baxter, clerk of the assembly.
made this estimate: Roosevelt's plurality
north of Bronx, $500; Van Wyck's pIur-
aiity south of Bronx, 4lOOO; Roosevelt's
plurality in the state. 5i,OO0 Colonel Rax-
ter predicted that there would be eighty
flVe Republicans and sixty-five Democrats
i'll the assembly, and thirty Republicans
and twenty Democrats In the senate.
While neither Chairman Odeil of the Rc
publican state committee nor Chairman
barnes of the executive committee would
give figures, Colonel Roosevelt's manarers
predict that his plurality above the bronx
Will be more than 5000. and that Van
Wycks lead below the river will be less
than 6a0O0. This would give Roosevelt y
plurality OF more than 10000
John f. Carroll has not yet received tho
1gures of the TamGany district leaders
but his own estimate is that Van WycI;
Will have 10000 plurality in Greater New
