That's where 70a are mistaken. The statement shows that yon never went to congress or even t) the state legislature. Judge Hubbard recently took a trip to Wood burn. Ha was looking for a man who he was informed kept a saloon there. The fact is, however that Woodburn has no saloons, rejoicing in an crdinance pro hibiting the same. As the iudgo was driving up to the stable, he accosted a passer-by : Hello w! Where's the saloon doyouknow?' "We ain't got no saloon' was the answer of the man, who had a red nose," "but we've got a rattling good drug store." Salem Post. Senator Mitchell has again introduced his bill providing for the election of U. B. senators by the people. That bill ought to pass, but it will not, for such a law would mean the everlasting relega tion to private life of nearly every man in the senate. There are not ten men in the senate who would ever have been elected by the people, which explains why nothing is ever done in the matter. Eugene has a new flouring miit now, and every one cannot help seeing the great benefit it is to Eagene. Is there nothing else in view? How about a creamery? Nothing would pay better. E agene Register. Salem has let Aums ville, Albany, Skamokawa, Taniy Point, Nehalem and Tanbark Ridge get ahead of her. Will Eagene get her creamery before we get oura?Statesman. Don't forget tLat the way to get a creamery Is to get one. That was Albany's style, and we are proud of it now, for Albany but ter is AI in every respect. A correspondent Ju the Eugene Jour nal talks as follows on bi-metalism : The free coinage of both gold and silver is the true American policy. The single gold standard has long been tbe policy and practice of England. She has pressed the cause of monometalism with, the same energy and carlessness of te rights of others as she baa ber schemes of colonization and land grabbing. En gland is always for England. Even if it it as tensible in the cause of Christianity, . protecting some poor missionary in the remote parts of Asia and Africa, she al ways expects some financial benefit in return. The simple fact that English statesmen at the dictation of the aristocra cy of Europe and the money power of Lon don upboid the single gold standard is sufficient reason for me to expose the . cause of free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver Now it the chief commercial nations of th world should adopt Dimetalism opon some international plan, we would have the model money but England will never consent to a double standard. Washington Letter. From cor regular Correspondent. . Washington, Dee. 23rd, 1895. While there are democrats who do not approve either the seeding of that speci al financial message to congress by Pres ident Cleveland or its recommendation, they all admit that it was a clever move on the part of tbe president, and good palities as well, to shift tbe responsibili ty of relieving the government's financi al distress upon the republican congress. It is hardly probable that Mr. Cleve land really expects any immediate relief from congress, but he will have the sat isfaction of showing tbe country that the republican congress can criticise the acts of the administration, taken in accord ance with republican laws, to preserve the credit of the country, but that it cannot or will not provide a Letter method. Even if there were n3 other reason than tbe consternation int3hicb that message has thrown the republi cans, especially in the house, that ought to be sufficient to make democrats glad it was sent in. r resident SJieveiand is sttll receiving congratulations for his patriotic mes sage on the Monroe doctrine, and while there is lees outward excitement in Washington than existed for the first two or thrte days after the message went to congress, there is a stalwart belief in the absolute correctness of tbe position taken by President Cleveland and a determin ation to maintain tt at all hazards. In stead of being shaken or weakened by the attempt of the British capitalists to frighten us by unloading their holding of American securities with the hope of creating a financial panic, thoee at tempts have strengthened that deter mination. Speaker Reed is now the czar of the house sure enongb. The chairman of every single committee of that body which is at all prominent is a man who will do just exactly what Seed tells him to do Henderson, of Iowa, was turned down because of his allegiance to Alli son, and Cannon, of Ills., made a chair man cf the Appropriation Committee. Bat probably the worst treated member of the house is Pyne, of N Y, who was clearly entitled to the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. He tbooght that Boss Piatt was backing him for the p'acc. but Piatt bad, it is said, told Reed ihat Payne couldn't be contro'led, although he pretended to want him to hav the chairmanship. Dingley, o' Me., was given the place, notwithstanding the se section of 011 telle for head of the Naval Committee end Milliken, both of tbe same state, for-the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Three election committees were named, to as to maks short work of the democrats who either hold seats that are contested by republicans or are ojo testiog ssata heid by republicans. This session of congress will either maie Eeed tbe republican candidate for presi deotor it will forever destroy his chances for he is not only re ponsible for the acts or failures to act of the bouse by virtue of his office as speaker, but be is virtually the house itself by reason of hia ownership of . the men who will control everything in that body. State Senator Stafford, of Texas, win is now in Washington, pooh poohs the idea that there is danger of tha popuJhU get ting control of bis state.' He says: "I have but little fear in regard to the con tinned predominance of the democratic parry in Texas. The only thing to he fear ed is the adoplion of a'radical gold plank by tve democratic nationd convention. Should this be done I atn afraid that thous ands of democratic voters would refuse to vote the ticket, They would not vote any other ticket, bat would stay at homo on election day. However, unless tbe advo cates of gold shut the white metal entirely out in the convention, it's a safe bet that Texas will give a big democratic majority as usual." . . Goodbye to'lSDS: A happy New Year. The American people want no more bond issues. It isn't business. Everything isTrilby nowadays. When it enowa a foot in the east it is called a Trilby storm.

The old saying, 'between the.;devil and the deep sea," is applicable to Great Bi iUin just now. Times-Union. The quick tempered editor of the Ea gene Guard makes the following timely suggestions for iew Years: Starve your temper. Give it nothing to feed on. When something tempts you to grow an gry ,do not yield tojthetemptation.lt may for a minute or two be difficult to control yourself, but try it. Force yourself to do nothing, to say nothing, and tbe ris tng temper will be obliged to go down because it has nothing to keep it np. The person who can and does control tongue, hands, heart, in the face of great provocation, is a hero. The world may not own him or her as such, but God does. The bible says that "he tba mletb his spirit is better than he that taseth a city." The king of North Alabama moon shiners, Fred Walker, was captured by revenue officers a few nights ago near Stevenson Ala. For fifteen years Wal ker had been a fugitive from justice, and daring that time he had defeated dozens of attempts to capture him, and was defied and taunted the officers though he had lived in one place all the time. The marshal who had headed the posse which finally captured hint had previously made twenty-five unsuccessful attempts. Walker was exceedingly popular astoog mountain folk, and they gave him every assistance in evading arrrst. His cabin was on a cliff commanding a view of tbe country for fifteen miles around, and either he saw tbe officers or was warned by eignats from friends ot their approach. RlvetedUpon The Country. W.ien I came to Oregon, cays Hon. E Hoftr in tbe Clarion, the Republican party bad adopted a free coinage plat form. I bave, ever since then, as editor of a daily paper and in oar county campaigns advocated the use of both metas on an established legal ratio as basis of oar financial system. Oo a coin reserveof $lC0,0C0,CCO, ot go'.d and 300, 000,000 of silver our country could circu late at par 81, 600,000, OOJ national treas ury notes, redeemable In both metals, and keep them at par. That would be infinitely preferrable to farther contrac tion of our currency to the absolute do! iar tor dollar gold coin basis as 1 un derstand tba Cleveland Carlisle plan to be to issue bonds for gold, to redeem all paper money and only circulate silver as change, or by redeeming it in gold Whatever yoa can do to restore silver to the position t occupied in 1873 will be a service to humanity. Tbe republican and democratic platforms cf 1SS2 de clare! for tbe use of gold and silver as the standard money of oar country. The democrats went further and demanded tbe eoinsge of the constitution, and that without discrimination against their metal. Thoee pledges have been basely betrayed by Mr . Cleveland and hia cab inet, who have riveted tbe single gold standard upon tbe country, repealed the Sherman act and stopped alt coinage of silver. They bave discredited silver in every possible .manner, set tbe examp'e of boarding gold, and driven the pro. dncer to the verge of rnin and the la borer to the verge of starvation. The go'd standard advocates sometimes concede that free coinage might be possible if other countries would agree to it, or if we could be sore that silv.-r would be worth as bullion what it is worth ai coin. When they eoneedn that, do they not concede the principle for which we contend? What is right and sound as a matter ot principle for several countries is right and sonnd for any one of them that bat the ability to establish and maintain it. Another Tear Begun. Another year begins today, and it Is only r peculation to tell what it will bring forth. No man knows, nor can goess. We know there will be good and bad, happiness and sadness, war and peace. We pray tbe peace will be gen eral, tbe wars small ones. The Micawbera will not be in tbe swim at all. If there ever was a time when things turned np for men it is not now. It takes rustle, hard persistent rnstle, and the men who succeed during 1896 will be the ones who watch things most closely. The returning prosperity we have been looking for is coming only slowly. It will not come with a jump. So 1895 will not see it in its fullness. Tbe time is too short; Lat it will come. Perhaps yon have tried to Cgure it out and could not. That's because it is not a problem to be reasoned out. Yon can never figure on the future as you set out to demonstrate a problem in mathemat ics. A great many men try to, and when ever they do, they make themselves mis erable. It is true that shrewd business men buy goods according to the expec tations of business six months ahead, bat tbey may hit it and may not. Never theless no man can tell what the wheat crop will be nor tLe price of cerea'a. So it is just as well to expect good as had, and it ia trui'h better for the ease of the mind. Really, there is good reason to look for a gradual improvement in business dur ing the year. The tide is that way in the firtt place. The indicator points that way as well. There will bu crimes during the year. Prominent men will die. Men will fail in business. - Trains will be wrecked. Vessels will go down. There will be drouths There will be a presidential election. . On the other hand there will be en joyments, successes, benevolent acts, philanthropists around, many lcavei turned over permanently for better 11 ves grand men will be seen doing gracd a:ts good women acts that will shine.
