foreign silver. Well, coinage was ex
panded to an extent that made the
mono-metalists lift up their hands in
holy horror and now we are told that
the United States has become an ex
porter of silver and that in the month of
August last 3,149,483 ounces left the
country, this being the largest shipment
in any one month since January, 1890,
when the silver agitation first began to
effect the market.
A prominent wheat buyer said to the
writer a few days ago: "If the farmers
of Wasco county expect to be able to
sell them wheat at a fair j rice during
the coming years they must make an
effort to get rid of the wild oats. Much
of the wheat that now comes to market
is full of wild oats. Buyers cannot
handle such wheat and pay a reasonable
price to the farmer. The mills won't
buy such wheat and shippers won't re
ceive it aboard their vessels. W lid oats
seem to be getting worse in this section
every year and it is high time something
was done to get rid of them.
The Wasco Sun is out in favor of Judge
A. S. Bennet for congressman from this
congressional district. The Chboniclb
is not in the business of nominating can
didates and is of the opinion that a dem
ocrat has very little chance of election
in a district so largely republican but it
is free to nay, which it does very sincerely,
that of all the democratic names that
have been mentioned for congressional
honors from the second Oregon district,
in every qualification befitting the office,
Judge Bennett stands head and shoulders
above all his competitors. If this dis
trict should conclude to send a democrat
to Washington it will honor itself by
sending Judge Bennett. -
valley wheat advanced to fl.72 per
cental for the choicest at Portland yes
terday. It was learned that wheat was
' selling at Albany at considerably higher
figures than on the basis of the Portland
market and this had a tendency to. stif
fen the price. Transportation rates by
way of Yaquina are low enough to make
Portland buyers feel serious over San
Francisco competition ; thus whether it
is on the ocean or the river, by rail or
water, competition plays an important
Dart in the price that the producer re
ceives for his products.
The Ochoco Review says : "It cost the
state $60,000 to construct the portage
. mated that the road has already saved
to the farmers of Eastern Oregon and
Washington $40,000. Pretty good in-
'vestment for the people. Now if the two
states will ioint'y build a portage road
from The Dalles to Celilo the saving to
the farmers will not be less than $100,
000 a year. This will be a theme for the
legislature of both states to consider at
their next sessions."
. Senator John T. Morgan, in the Nov
ember Forum sincerely bewails the wan
ing power and influence of the farmers'
alliance. He says : "It is a melancholy
thought that the pure purposes and
principles of the farmers' alliance should
be abused by selfish politicians who have
crept into its secret councils." Senator
Morgan's grief is suspicious. When he
draws an ideal pen picture of his own
party and says "These sincere defenders
of the people will miss the powerful
support of the alliance," one cannot re
sist the conclusion that he grieves more
because of the loss of an ally than he
docs for that ally's personal success.

Exoltentept In Finland.
Hemingfobs, Nov. 17.-Much exite-
ment has been caused in Finland by the
announcement of the imperial ukase ex
tending to Finland, now prevailing in
Russia, in reference to the export of cer
eals, excepting wheat. The nkase en
tirely ignores the Finnish diet, and in so
far abrogates the constitution of Finland
which Alexander I and his successors
swore to support. From the temper of
the Finns, there is but little doubt that
in the event of a war between Germany
and Russia they would be found largely
on the side of Germany.
The greater portion of the wheat crop
bae been hauled. What remains will
be carried over till next spring. We
congratulate the farmers on the good

may get still better prices for what re

The Indiana Farmers' Alliance.
lAuiAjiroLis, xov. 18. The longer
the nuance remains in session, the far
ther apart grow the various factions, ap
pears to be the situation this morning.
It seems to be impossible to settle the
various organizations down to any de
finite expression or any united policy.
The third party fight is in earnest and
every one has a more or less direct re
ference to this issue. A split on the
sub-treasury and land loan principles
seems inevitable. The open meeting of
the alliance this morning was a complete
fizzle, and lasted but a few minutes,
when the executive session opened
and trouble oyer the sub-treasury began.
A communication was received from the
executive committee and sub-treasury
alliance asking for a hearing for a pro
test prepored by delegates from Missouri,
under instruction from the St. Louis
convention of last September. The
motion to appoint committee of five to
read the protest and report to the alli
ance was carried. The sub-treasury
committee, it is said, will refuse to let
the protest be read except before the
full alliance.
Chinese to be Driven Out of Butte.
Butte, Nov. 17. A well organized
movement has been inaugurated here to
rid the town of the Chinese element.
The subject was taken up about a week
ago by the Workingmen's Union, which
has a large membership. The matter
wns called to the attention of the Min
ers' Union and other labor organizations
which sent delegates to a meeting held
last night, at which It was decided to be
gin the effort three weeks from date. It
is a question whether or not the move
ment will succeed. No violence is to be
resorted to, but every effort will be put
forth to discourage the employment of
Chinese in any capacity, and a system
atic boycott against Chinese laundries
and restaurants will be started. From a
census of Chinese token by the labor or
ganizations, it is ascertained that they
have a population of 1600 in Butte.

London, Nov. 18. A dispatch from
Montevideo says that the clergy are ac
tively agitating in Brazil in favor of the
restoration of Dom Pedro. The clergy
are dissatisfied with the Fonseca gov
ernment for having abolished the con
nection between church and state, and
although the government still pays sal
aries to the existing functionaries of the
church, yet they are not sure that even
this will long continue. Besides, since
the separation of church and state, other
sects have come to the front much more
boldly than during the imperial regime.
Since the private propeit.", real and
personal, of the imperial family, was
restored to it, the influence of Dom Pedro
hasmaterially revived in certain direc
tions, and the clerical and other agitators
for his return have been encouraged.
It is said that Fonseca now looks upon
the restitution to the imperial family as
a mistake, and that he will probably, in
the eventof his success in the present
struggle, take some pretext for confisca
tion of all the real estate at least, and
perhaps give Dom Pedro a reasonable
allowance out of the treasury.
Another disDatcu troin Montevideo
says that, in pnblic opinion there, Fon
seca evidently sees a serious conflict be
fore him, or he would not have created
a heavy credit for arms and ammunition.
Fonseca is said to be making energetic
preparation for the struggle acrainst the
opposition forces.

to the speech of Secretary Foster at the

Foster's speech is a confession of his
opinion that America has gone too far to
draw back. The United States treasury
is in the same position as the bank of
France. It has been saddled with an
immense stock of silver, while taking
measures to hold so large a reserve of
gold that it might just as well not keep
silver at all. America seems so occu

they neglect the currency matters so

The Death of a Hero.
Wilkesbabbe, Pa., Nov. 18. Napol-

ployed in one of the Plymouth mines,
had fired a blast today and a spark set a
pocket of gas on fire. ; There was no im

the fire would spread and endanger the
lives of 600 men. He at once took off
his coat and started to beat out the fire.
He succeeded but before he could get
back in the breast the roof fell in, crush

and was the son of a Frenchman who
was banished from his native land forty
years ago. He settled in Canada. Re
