Tho Populist senators have decided In caucus to vote solidly against re-committing tho silver substitute for the tariff bill to the committee on finance. If tho Democrats stand together against the Quay motion the decision of the Pop ulists will insure its defeat. A GOOD BILE. .The senate passed the Catron uutl prlzo fight bill which passed the house yesterday. This is tho llrst con gressional recognition of n lost art. Tho Catron bill to prohibit prize fighting in tho federal territory, will bo sent to the president tomorrow or next day.

Lord Dunraven was the guest last night of the Glas gow university club. Tho speech de livered by his lordship upon the occa sion contained no allusion to tho sub ject of yachtings but with reference to the Venezuela question he said war between England and America would bo regarded by every one as an unmiti gated horror. If either country had placed Itself in a false or misunderstood position, both were strong and magnanimous enough to withdraw or to make con cessions, ne was confident, he said, that tho result of tho strained rela tions would bo a better feeling be tween the two countries.

Children Cry for Pltohtr's Cmtor!. MITCHELL AND HERMANN. Kind Words (or Members of the Oregon Delegation in Congress W. C.O'Ham, of Netarts Bay.wrltcs Tan Journal, February 1: "I havo known tho Hon. .1. II. Mitchell for many years. I have watched his career In tho senate, and think he Is tho right man to represent tho pcoplo of this commonwealth at tho national capital. All tho people I havo talked with around hero aro of the same opinion. Wo nro all In favor of Hon. Blngcr Hermann as our rep resentative. I think theso two gen tlemen will have no trouble In return ing to Washington." OP IIINGKK HHRMANN. D. W. Mathews, of Salem, writes to tho Albany Herald under date of the 22d, tilt., saying: "I, with other ox Union soldiers here, feel n great In terest In the rc-noml nation and re cleo'tlon of Hon. Blngcr Hermann, wl.o .has so ably and faithfully served tho pcoplo of Oregon for po many long years, as a representative In congress. He has been a good and true friend of tho 'old soldiers, ever ready to do them any kliultuw In his power, lie sincerely sympathizes with them In their efforts to obtain their Just de serts In the pension department at Washington, and he has assisted many of them to obtain pensions that they had been entitled to, but had not been granted them. I feel now that It Is our duty to manifest our grati tude to Mr. Hermann by standing 'shoulder to shoulder' for him In tho coming campaign nnd sccuro his re election us his own successor In con gress, where ho can accomplish so much for tho pcoplo of Oregon. You being an cx-Unlon Bold lor, I would bo glad to sco you advocating Mr. Her mann's election through tho columns of the Herald." Tho editor of the Woodhum Inde pendent, who is an old soldier, says: "This is the expressed sentiment of overy cx-soldler, with few exceptions, in this, the first district. Tho editor of this paper, an ex-soldlcr, has mot hundreds of old vets, and by letter discussed Hermann's rc-noinlnntlon, and aro confident that ho will receive tho almost united support of overy ex soldier In this district. They belle vo that tho interests of tho publlo will lo best cared for In tho hands of Her mann, In preference to a now man. Ho has performed his duties In tho past, faithfully, which Is a crltoron of his future labors. Ho can bo .trustotl without further trial, nnd tho great est of nil, ho Is largely opposed by tho Orcgonlan-Tolegram-Stntesman crowd because ho won't act at their bidding. Hermann will bo re-nominated and elected." CLATSOI FOR MITOHKLL. Tho As torla Budget says: Senator Mitchell is truo hluo. He don't equivocate, or dodge, or remain silent, when It Is his turn to speak or write. Ho Isn't afraid of tho money question, and when ho Is Interviewed on It ho talks straight out for frco and un limited sliver coinage at tho ratio of 10 to 1, Independent of tho consent of tho e lie to monarchies of tho old world, for America, for Oregon, and for tho good of mankind. That's tho kind of a representative to havo In congress. It's a pity there are not moro of thorn. Mitchell's term ex pires In 1807, hut ho Is going back again with a rush. Dolph may come up as a caudldato for his seat, but ho hasn't a ghost of a show of election. Tho Oregon I r.n may liolp tho aged goldbug out by bucking Mitchell, but Scott's bucking will turn tho stomach of tho. whole state and Mitchell will win tho raco hands down. Wo call tho attention of our readers to Mitch ell's speech in another column. If that don't show that ho Is right in lino for homo and country, with the Highest of Rll in Leavening Power. $m ASMUAYXMC IWC eagle bird at tho top of tho pole, we'd llkoto know what docs. Both legis lators from Clatsop county will go to Salem pledged to Mitchell. If they ain't pledged the people will bury thorn beyond the power of tho grave digger to reach them. DECOY DUCK REPUBLICANISM. Jt Is evident that tho people need expect no rellof or reforms at the hands of the politicians assembled at Portland February, 4, They seemed to consider that they had no opinions, or If they had, It was not deemed afc to say so. When the captain of a company calls out "attention" tho soldiers must keep mum nnd obey or ders. In the wtino way wore the .Re publican clubs ordered to keep sllon.-' , It Is the height of absurdity, not 10 say a reflection on American Intelli gence, to hold a gathering of a polit ical organization of llOOcltlzeiun f a free republic, only to forbid them 1 -lltlcal discussion. But perhaps Un burning Issues were toa hot to lun II with Impunity. It would lto as sensible for fish to solve against tho art ofHwimmln,, 1 -birds against tho art of flying, as re-1 body of men assembled for alleged po litical purposes to resolvo not to tall polities. It must bo admitted an ex hibition of tho power of despotic rinr rule In our state, What arc Republican clubs for? Arc thoy not to cducato tho rank and lih and the masses of people In tho bound doctrlno of 'Republicanism? Aro we simply resolved to hold out our spoon nnd ask for more? Can't wo even de nounce thoDcmocrats and Populists? It would have been Impossible for such an assemblago of Republicans to takoplaco twenty years ago and not brcatho n syllable on a single living issuo of tho day. Tho Republican party is not a moro decoy for otlice seokers. And Ropubllcnnlsm as or ganized In tills club and lengho ma chine, Is not representative of tho pcoplo and tho party. It is nn organ ization within tho party that has outlived its usefulness. Ltko tho wooden ducks used by pothunnters to decoy game within reach, they aro at best but a painted Imago of real Re publicanism. NOT A POPULAR LOAN. There Is a great nourish over ten ders of bids of 9558,200,080 of gold for tho 8100,000,000 gold bonds advertised for by Cleveland and Carlisle. II is called a popular loan. That Is a misnomer. Tho bondsaro wanted by tho Idlo capital that wants to escapo taxation. Tho loans ofTcrod aro by banks and syndicates from 825,000 to 825,000,000 each, mo3tly cor porations, and many of them foreign ers at that. , A popular loan would bo whoro n private citizen could stop up to tho postolllcc nhd buy a $50 or 8100 bond at par. Tho gold bond loan Is n tax dodging fraud. LUOI8LATIVE REFORM. - Following aro somo reductions that aro propesed: Printing 8 30,000 Courts 30,000 R. R. commission 20,000 Normal schools 50,000 Stato Unlvorslty 30,000 Legislative expense. 10,000 Total 8170,000 It is not likely nil these reductions can bo realized In any ono legislature, But thoy aro reductions that could bo made atseveral sessions. Tho salaries of otllclals at a number of state Institutions could bo lowered wlthont Impairing tho publlo service. Try Hcckor'fl griddle cakes at Son nouann'tt grocery.
