the sleeper's clothing without, how
ever, disturbing his slumbers.

The Biggest Thing. )"

Prof Henry Drummond wrote
a splendid book on ''The Greatest
Thing in The World" Some one
ought to write a book on "The
Biggest Thing in the World"
What is it?Is there any one thing
bigger than all the other big things
in this big world? Yes, not in inn
portance, perhaps, but in "big-
ness Is it Congressg This is
pretty large, but not the "bignes"
Is 1t Education? This is great,
but not the "biggest" Is it
Christianity THIS is great and
mosl important of all, but not the
"biggest" is no. Gin it, at all.
Well, what is itG Undoubtedly
the biggest thing in the United
Sta:es, at least, is the Election.
We call it "thing" for want of a
better word. There is something
depreciatOry, too, in the express
sion.
Tue Election, County, State and
National, engages more people,
newspapers, brain, and time and
money, than any other one thing
in the United States Hence, we
say il is "the biggest thing"
We do not estimate the value or
Importance of things by their
"bigness," always, nor generally.
Why is it that the election i'm this.

who seem to be strangely indif-
terent on the subject. We believe
Doth parties are tired of the whole
business. Oflice-getting costs too
much, and the cost increases from
year to year. And then, buying
your own people from year to wear
is bad policy. a party built up
on principle can never be accom-.

consideration, Stop ballot buying

The Hop Growers.

The hop growers of Oregon. says the
Agriculturist, are about to try the exper-
iment of cooperative marketing of hops.
The hop industry is one branch of FARM
ing operations in which cooperation
ought to be com paratively easy.
The whole number of hop growers is
not so great as to make it difficult mat
ter to gather all into one organization !.
The growers must, however, realize that
the only way in which cooperative mar
keting of production can be made a
success in the long run is to tern over
to the association the power to dispose of
their crops. If the members OF the asso-
citation retain the privilege of selling
their crops individually there will be
trouble.
The first thought of nearlv all produc-
ers in forming associations for marketing
their produce is that by SO doing they
will eliminate middle men. In practice
it 10 found that the middle men are in
! dis pensible. The gains made by CO.
operative associations for marketing
come from the maintenance of steady
prices in selling, the prevention of cuts
in prices by foolish sales, the ability to
establish reputation to fill large orders
with goods which can be depended on,
and the employment of thoroughly
trained and able business managers to
control the business and handle it to the
best advantage.

Profit In Corn.

A farmer living near Corvallis, real
lied nearly five times as much from a
small field planted in corn as he would
have realized had the same field been
sown in wheat.
This fact is an argument in itself and
needs no further proof of its worth.
The growing of sweet corn for the
market is profitable industry, which
many farmers do net observe. An acre
will produce from 1000 to 5000 dozen
ears, that sell at from 6 to Is cents per
dozen, wherever the demand is created
by centers of population.
The dried corn sells rapidly at 121a
cents per pound, and in our larger Ore
gon cities the supply never equals the
demand.
Fall or winter plowing is the best for
successful corn growing. Stubble or sod
land should be turned under early, to
allow the plowed field to get thoroughly
frozen during the winter. The surface
covering of grass and weeds if turned
under, roots and forms fertilizer for
the corn roots, and holds moisture for
some time during the early spring and
summer growing months. The land
should be narrowed and well pulverized
in the spriHg before planting. Early
corn is the most profitable, but for dry
ing purposes the late varieties are pref
erable.

day is highly satisfactory to repub-
licans. Nash's plurality of $4,000
in Ohio, may be regarded as q
hearty endorsement of the policies
of the administration. Nebraska

ed to holding it with the result that

pansion was slapped squarely in

sound money, Shaw's plurality be-
ing 10000. Kentucky went repub-
ican by 5000; New Jersey, 10000
and Pennsylvania, 1O9,465. The
New York assembly will stand SO

republican majority in South Dako-

MILES POSING AGAIN.

The presence of General Miles il
Portland has given an esteemed
contemporary of that city an oppor
tunity to again sully its pages with
an unwarrantable attack ON Nc
Kinley. 1t says that the president
refused to let Miles take an active
part in the Cuban campaign, "Be.
cause President Mckinley feared
that General Miles, who has been
reputed to be man of political am
bition, would be sure to distinguish
himself if given an opportunity in
Cuba, and might become popular
hero" If this were true, Mckinley
would not have permitted solitary
officer to land upou the island, for
there is as great danger from the
most obscure soldier securing pop
ular honor, as there is from the
commanding general. It is safe to
say that Funston is the most popu-
lar officer the Philippine campaign
has produced. At the beginning Of
the civil war Grant was nonenti-
ty, yet his record made him presi-
dent "The single victory of Tay-
1or at Buena Vista, where he COM
manded only 6,000 men made him
president. The single victory of
Jackson, who commanded 5000
men at New Orleans, made him
president" says the enemy to the
administration. Then was Roose-
velt with his rough riders more
dangerous adversary than Miles.
It is highly probable that if Mr..
Miles had been given his way in
Cuba s'the brilliant record of his
heroic youth and mature manhood"
would have been dimmed by the
Intellectual fiaring OF infrmity.
For "when the government thought
Shafter was in hole at Santiago,
it hastened to consult Miles how to
pull him out" and this modern
Ajax, who stood with barred breast
wooing the political lightning,
urged with unbecoming haste the
immediate evacuation of Cuba by
the American forces. Thanks to
Chaplain Chadwick, of the Ore
gon, Fighting Joe and General
Shafter, the senile Miles was over
ruled, and Santiago was won shy
sound soldiership and superior ex-
ecutive talent"

A few figures on wool show the
difference between Republican and
Democratic industrial policies
Under the Mckinley tariff the
American wool clip Increased from
307, 100000 pounds in 1891 to 349,-
100000 in 1898. Then the Wilson
law came in and by 1897 there was
a decline to 25s,OOO,OOo. The
Dingley law turned the tide again
The wool clip last year increased
&c per cent. and the number of
sheep by 2,121, 900. In addition to
this the demand for goods is so
great that most of the woolen mills
haye consumed their accumula-
tions, Globe Democrat.
