Ho.thlnka the Republican press has mde)i nihtake In, attributing, the present financial dlstiessHto tho Sher man Jaw, Instead of the Democratic success andear of tariff revision, where It more properly belojigs. The senator says: "I am a blmetaTllst. I believe In the use of both metals a money d, believe In the free coinage .of Jwth.jftudJiglJeVe that the present ratio of 16 to 1 is fair enough. These are my present opin ions, aud I might be convinced that the present ratio is too low, and that the unconditional repeil of tho Sherman law would be a good thing, but leer talnly do not think so now, and I cer t aly will not vot for unconditional repta'. To absolutely demonetize sil ver, while It might afford temporary rr lief,, would Inevitably iuvolvo the coun try In times of such rigor that nothing In our history would approach It, unless it be the six j-cars' colonial confedera tion. Owing to the method of admiub terjug the Sherman law adopted by a Democratlo administration, that result may be partially to blame for tho dis tress that has come upon us, but only partially. When It became known last fall that the Demoo aU had succeeded, things began going wrong, and have continued to go wrong ever Bince. Up on the question of finance the two par ty platforms were practically the same, but they were widely divergent in the matter of the tariff. The Democratlo party went further than party in the history of our country when It declared that a tariff for the.protectlon of Amer ican Industries was a violation of the1 constitution. In the prosecution of the campaign the whole argument was up on the tariff. Finance was occasional y heard of, but only occassional.' Very little was said about the Shermanj act. "Immediately after the election Dem oorata began to talk of an extra sea slon, not to repeal or alter financial leg ioUtton, hut to tear to pieced the tariff.) The reluctant financial depression was the direct effect of the feeling of anxiety and distrust that permeated and domi-1 nated 10,000 American industries. They did not know what tho;greatunwashed would do, and they do not know yet. Democrats aro now trying to shift thq entire blame upon the operations of a falsely administered statute, but It will not do. The facts are these the real cause has been the free-trade yearning of a party that has secured control of both tho legislative uud executive branches of tho government It is time however, when political differences; should be sunk, party lines temporarily erased. If a Democratlo president or a Democratlo senator can offer mo a good law which will tend to extricate the country from tho present slough of despond, I will cheerfully vote for It, But, as I have before said, I am a blmetalllat, and 10 to 1, It Beems to me ia a fair ratio. , . i Order the Daixy Mail Jouhnal to your summer leaort for a week or a mouth at 25 cts. a month.

A run on a bank, simply defined, Is an attempt to make that medium of ex change do in a day the business of a month. Oregoman. To bring about such a run, as it Is so well defined by the Oregonlan, is about as nefarious a piece of business as can be started these days or any day. Next to organizing working men and threatening capltul to bring It to terms by strikes, dictated by labor agitators, while helpless women and ohildren suf fer for bread, an artificially created run on a bank is the greatest crime that can be committed against the business In terests of a country. Both Bhould be made crimes by statute. TUB MINISTER'S SALARY. Tho laborer is worthy of his hire and should be well paid. But wbon so many laborers cannot get work to do ministers of the gospel ought not-to ex pect to get 51200 to $1500 a year. With what they can earn at wed dines, funerals and baptisms aud the advantages otherwise derived from tu profession, a minister in a town the sl7oofBalem ought to do well at the above figures. Margins of profits n're smaller with all business men. All professions are earnlug less. If the people are taxed too high for religious service they will forswear the church. GAULT PROBABLY KNOWS iilM. The Salem Democrat and Journal have been vilifying each other In great shape for some time past. Now tht Democrat statts libel proceeding! MRulust the Jouhnal. The Jefferson Reviovv thinks that if the cose ever comes to trial, the chances are both papers will prove most of their asser tlons. Hllluboro Independent. The editor of tho intltmAnrtonr Is oldes in tho commuulty where the edl tor of this paper 'resided previous t oomlng to Hulem, and his publishing the above Is distinctly unfair, Vq call upon Mr. Gault to say plainly wbethei ho Indorses tho slur.- Salem Democrat, The Jouhnal never vilified th Democrat; It vilified Itself wbon It took m from w. A. Shaw to charge Tub Journal proprietors with the crime ol blackmail, which it could not prove, and Shaw could uot prove, and which all Investigation showed to be false. Mr. Gault prooably knows his man. FJROM. MARION. Tho theremomet;Or registered 03 lq the shado Monday aftornoou.

Tho meaning of tho word "bunk um," or at least tho impression con voyed by tho word, has slowly al tered in this country at least within tho last 40 yeurH?It originally meant, according to all American diction aries, talking for talking's sake or talking to one audience for tho bene fit of another. Tho congressional rriernber for a district of North Car olina, named Buncombe, insisted on ielivorinDr a Bpeech to on impatient house- of representatives, and when taxed with his conduct defended himself by declaring that hit was compelled to( mako a speech which his constituents could read, and that, in fact, he was "talking to Bun combo." This is certainly tho senso in which Judgo Haliburton, the auth or of "Sam Slick," used the expres sion, and our recollection is that in 1840-50 it was so employed within quotation marks in criticising parlia mentary speeches. The Americans, who catch any much needed phrase of tho kind with extraordinary quickness, speed ily degraded "buncombe" into "bun kunV and the vulgar spelling was slowly adopted in Englapd, but with significant change of meaning. The word being American, and nil Ameri can oratory uttered for effect.having ouo peculiar note in it, "bunkum" camo to signify speech uttered sole ly to attract through its tone of pa triotic exaggeration. The man who talks bunkum is not; talking vague npnsense or stuff intended to occupy time, but is uttering "high falutin" flattery either of the people or of the country or of the future which is be fore either. London Review. A Contented Scrubwoman. "I don't have very hurd times now, do If" appealed the woman who was down on her knees wiping up an office floor. "You see I am janitor in three buildings that I have to clean up in tho morning, but it only takes a little while, and then I have time to go and clean somewhere else. I have to work in the morning and work in the evening till 9 o'clock sometimes, but I don't have fcuch a hard time of it. "Oh, no I It ain't as hard as washing. You have to do so much more work washing to get the samo money. You have to wash so many pieces, I mean. ,(At ono onlce I get $8, at another $6 and at another $4, and that's pretty good for m,o, I think. I only havo to dust and clean a Little every morning, and then I con go some where else the rest of tho day. I don't think I have to work so hard. 1 got along very well." v Surely contentment with our lot is a great thing, and contentment is greater than gold. Imagine spending a (good part of the week on one's knees cleaning floors and thinking it isn't hard work. Most of us would decide otherwise. Buffalo News. A Friendly 'Wasp. A gentleman becoming annoyed by tho persistent buzzing of a wasp about his head knocked it down with his newspaper. It fell through an open window upon the sill apparent ly dead. Only apparently, for a few seconds later to the observer's aston ishment a large wasp-flow on to tho window aill and after buzzing around i tho injured ono a second or two be gan to lick it all over. -After this treatment (which may havo been a kind of massage) tho sick wasp jjeomed to revive, and his friend then dragged him gently to tho edge, grasped hipi around tho body and flow away with him. Evidently tho stranger finding a wounded comrado gave some aid partly to restore him, preliminary to removal to a place of safety for further treatmeut, and then carried him there. This bravo little wasp acted liko a good Samari tan, who found a man "half dead,"1 "bound up hia wounds, pouring on. them oil aud wino" and "brought bunt to an inunnd took care of him." Sunshino, Jenny June's Quick "Wit. An instoiico of Jenny Juno's ready wit is told by nn amused bystander, who ovorheard this conversatien: A young woman Was introduced to Mrs, Croly as "Bister of So-and-so, tho artist' Instantly tho exclamation, followed t "I should hnvo known tho relationship, my dear, by tho rcsenv bianco. Why, it is positively star tling. 1 nevor saw two faces more exactly oliko in contourand" "But, Mrs. Croly," interrupted tho girl in n.mook, small voice, "I am only hia siaterTin-law." "Which makeaitoll tho m.ore remarkable," continued tho Qt)ier without tho least embarrass ment or hesitation. New York Times. X Cur For IdttowIsk Nails.

"Revenge is sweet, and sweeter if there is any monoy in it He goes to tho woods and collects a number of green twigs of a certain tree. These he layB ip a pile on the floor of his hut, with some dry twigs under thom. Then from another tree he gets a gum which he boils into a thin sirup and spreads on the -walla of his.hut. The flies are attracted by its fragrant and farreaching odor. They gather to feed on it When the hut is black; with them, the Indian sets fire to the twigs on tho floor and closes tho apertures from the outside. The twigs emit an aromatic smoke which kills the flies and they fall to the. floor in thousands. Then the native's wife dries them whilo he 'goes to, sleep again. " Waverly Magazine. A Ferocious Little Snake, To my surprise tho little black, snake with yellow polka dotted skin of India is a ferocious fighter. The sidewinder, which is ugly enough to striko terror into the hearte of the bravest, is always anxious to avoid a conflict, even when disturbed. On the copt;rary, this little black and yellow snake is pugnacious and ut terly devoid of fear. He ia general ly to be found by the irrigation ditches, and when convenient will get under a sack and there pass the night, only leaving his shelter when the sun is warm enough to tempt him out, Tho other morning I .pick ed up one in a sack, unknowingly I must confess, and when I laid the bag down out darted his snakeahip with fiery eyes and made an impetu ous onslaught I kept out of his reach and threw sand and small stones at him which he snapped at liko an enraged dog, still 6teadily pursuing me. I kept him at a distance, and I believe he would bay been chasing me still had I not finished his career by halving him with a shovel. The Indian woman, I have been told, made a pet of this evil tempered snake, showing a strange fancy, I think, after my experience. The In dian working for me explained that he was perfectly harmless and de clared "him very good." Exchange. The Doc Knew What Was Wanted. John W. Hayes, the old police court officer, had a dog that had been in his family for a long time, but it had been decided for good reasons that it must go the way of all flesh. The family talked it over, and the decision was finally arrived at that the dog wagon was to call the next day and take the animal to the pound. We called with the wagon the next day, but tho dog could not be found. We .called again tho next day and were told that we had scarcely left the day before when tho dog put in an ap pearance. But he could not be found at our second visit We called the third day, and although the dog had reappeared soon after we had left on the previous day he was not to be found at our third visit Then a search was instituted, and the dog was found under the bed. He had crawled clear to the farthest corner. Ho acted just like a human being that was aware his lifo was be ing sought, and no argument can convince me that tho dog did not un derstand the conversation of the fam ily that had condemned him to death and knew just what the dog wagon meant to Jiim.
