Show ITho Democrats camo far closer to sizing up the actual situation and condition con-dition in the public affairs of this State than President Morris did. The ram JCatahdin, -which in its time was supposed to be the summit in naval lighting strength, j8 to he used as a target. Thus do fashions change!

I Wallowa county, Oregon, reports an average yield of wheat this year of fiftj-'four bushels per acre. And the country at large is content with only one-fourth of that, as an average! Surely American wheat-raisers should "buck up.,J Tf tho French had boon able to finish fin-ish tho Panama canal, would Groat Uritaiu have had the gall to interfere and demand equal treatment in the canal with France? Hardly, nor -would such claim have boon even considered for a moment by France.

Of course; H it is always certain that Great Britain yH will object to anything that goes any- lH whore but to herself.
