We have leen to Portland and taken

The congressional candidate of the
.people's party for the second Oregon
district made .a speech the other day up
in Grant county on the currency ques
tion. If there is anything in the world
about which Mr. Luce knows everything
that is to be known it is the currency
and the per capita circulation. "My
friends" said our next congressman,
"the great trouble is we hain't got
enough money in circulation. We want
more money to do business with. In
1864 the per capicia circulation was $20.
In 1892 the per capicia circulation is re
duced to seven dollars. Where is the
money gone to my friends? I'll tell you (
where its gone to. You hain't got it.
The Ciikoxicle was in error Saturday
in stating that the cow which .attempted
to swim the Columbia sank below Rock
land landing. She swam into the eddy
and landed on this side, and after much
difficulty was. safely secured. Her
owner, Peter Aggins, who was knocked
senseless by her, is still in a critical con
dition, but is doing as well as can be ex
pected for a serious case like bis. The cow
struck him, with all her force, in the
stomach, and he fell over 'backwards,
injuring the brain by a fall on the side
walk. He has recovered consciousness
enicient to remember coming on to the
ferrv boat with the cow, but remembers
nothing of events happening after leav
ing the ferry.
The blustering winds of yesterday and
the blinding dust, did not deter a large
number of citizens from accompanying
the march of the James Nesmith Post,
G. A. R., to the cemetery and joining
with them in the celebration of decora
tion day. At two o'clock the two
companies ot militia, unuer com
mand of Lieut. Colonel Thompson,
headed by the Regulator band
formed in line and inarched out
of the citv as an escort to the veterans.
The fine soldierly bearing and move
ments of the militia boys were observed
by all and commented on by many, as a
marked improvement over last year.
At the cemetery the beautiful ritual
service was read , Dy oomraue v .
S. Myer interspersed with music
by the band and a select choir of
vocalists. Then followed the for
mal decoration of the cenotaph
by the comrades which, by special invi
tation was participated in by companies
A and C. third regiment O. X.. G. At
flhe close of the services the bugle
bounded taps, the line was reformed and
phe process ion marched back to the city
tirriving here a little after 4 p. m.

Eastern Oregon wool against the
vorld. For fine fleeces, no other por-
ion of the country can show better than
nay be seen daily in The Dalles. Of
erings today are 15)! cents per pound
or choice lots. .
Conductor Mitchell had a fine train
p last night. It consisted of fourteen
caches, two of which belonged to the
Etorial fraternity and three to the
sbyterian delegates. It required two
jmotives to pull the train.
The noon passenger came in today
with a stiff breeze which put the train
five minutes ahead of time.; It's an ill
wind that don't blow some good.
' Wool is coming in freely, and compe-
Uent judges say it is of finer quality than

Mr. A. M. Kelsey, of Antelope, left a
sample of his fine delaine wool at Tiik
Chronicle office today. It is a sample
of 40,000 pounds which he has sheared
and is to shear this season. And it would
be very hard to beat in any other por
tion of the continent.
Speaking of the comforts and dis
comforts of a cold June morning, Mr.
H. C. Nielsen tells a good one on him
self. This morning he had occasion to
drive to Mr. Klindts place, and thought
fully took an overcoat along belonging to
the old gentleman, but he did not think
to wear the overcoat, until he alighted
from the buggy at Mr. Klindts, shiver
ing with the cold so much that it made
it difficult for him to tie the horse.
Then he thought of the overcoat, on the
buggy seat. He put it on immediately,
and walked into the house where he
wanned himself by the kitchen stove.
In the early sixties the mines of Baker
county were all tributary to The Dalles.
They were barely known then. Now
statistics from two of these mines show
an aggregate ontput during 1891 of $2,
128,540.96, and there are at least fifty
more mines to hear from equally as rich.
The figures of all will-be compiled to en
able Senator Dolph to convince the com
mittee on appropriations that a govern
ment assay office should be established
in Baker City. ' Years ago a fine stone
structure was built in The Dalles for a
branch mint. If that mint had been
completed, in accordance with the de
mands of the times, The Dalles would
yet have befn the headquarters for all
mining operations in the Inland Em
pire. It was a short sighted policy
which caused its abandonment. It
makes an elegant flouring mill, but we
hope Baker City may be more fortunate.
In fact The Chronicle would say, if
The Dalles cannot have a branch mint,
it would be no disadvantage 'to the
country to give one to Baker City.

The dangerous practice of boya jump
ing on trains in the city resulted in a
serious accident at ".Walla .'"Walla a few
days since. In this case the boy boarded
the train at the water tank, and when
nearing the depot the conductor stepped
out of the car door, and the boy. fearing
he was going to order him off, jumped to
the ground with such force that he fell
on his head, rendering him unconscious.
He was picked np and carried to his
father's residence near by, and a physic
ian was called. '' On examination it was
found that the sknll had been fractured
jnst above the right eye. He is reported
to be in a precarious condition.
Mrs. J. D. Lee, on the eve of her de-
parturetoher new home in Portland,
was the recipient of a testimonial from
her co-laborers and frienda in the w. C. ;
T.U., assembled at the house of Mrs. S,i
B: Adams; which will long be cherished.
It was in the form of a book, bearing
upon its pages the ensign of the order,
numerous decorations, and the autograph
of several friends with suitable inscrip
tions. It was a surprise to her, and
when the presentation was made in a
well worded address, freighted with sen
timents of fraternal regrets, by Mrs.
Smith French, the president of the
union, Mrs. Lee was taken whollyaback,
but with her characteristic self possesion
she rallied, and by the time Mrs. French
i was throneh with her address Mrs. Lee
responded in a manner at once convinc
ing of the appropriateness of the inci
dent. Mrs. Lee goes to join her hus
band, who has established in business
in Portland, and besides the ties which
bind her to The Dalles through the
sisterhood of the union, lias a legion of
other friends who wish her happiness in
the new field. .
Nature has been lavish with her en
dowments for the perpetuation of the
beautiful in this grand and superb
northwest, and it docs one good to
gather an original idea descreptive of it.
Such, for instance, as this, from the
Frankfort Chronicle: "One more glance
at the shore which we have left, and we
see the bouse dotted hills becoming less
and less distinct, and we turn our atten
tion once more to what is going on
around us. and to the thickly wooded
shores of the north side of the river.
Tanzy point, on the Oregon side, is far
away, and now we are abreast of Tongue
point, while, in the distance, on the
Washington side, looms up, as a lily in
a boquet of pinks and roses, the enow
crowned summit of the stately Mt. St.
Helens. All is quiet, and the sun's rays
kiss the bashful ripplets which dimple
the placid waters of the noble river as it
pursnes its onward course, to the broad
Pacific. As we again look around we
see Fort Stevens, and across in Washing
ton Fort Canby. Point Ellis soon closes
the latter from our view, and looking
further we preceive Saddle Rock moun
tain, which is appropriately named, and
only requires a little imagination to see
the historic hidalgo, booted and spurred,
seated on it."
CHRONICLE BREVITIES.
Matter .of Interest Reduced to Suitable
Proportion.
Hon. Jos. Simon left Portland today
for Minneapolis, the east and Europe.
The Baltimore sailed away from Port
land yesterday, for Puget sound. The
only protection left in the river now is
the Charleston, the Cyclone and the
Cricket.
The cyclone blows furiously in Kansas,
but it has not yet succeeded in lifting a

There are seven lady candidatets for
school superintendents on the peoples
party ticket in Oregon. The counties
are Multnomah, Lane,' Benton, Union,
Umatilla, Morrow and Douglas.
The commencement exercises of the
state university in Eugene, have almost
been lost sight of in the excitement of
election talk. The faculty are devoting
their time to preliminary arrangemends
and the usual interesting exercises may
be expected.
Salem is preparing for a grand exhi
bit ion of roses and strawberries. As
result of last year's show thousands of
new rose bushes were set out. , A fine
show now will make it a hundred thous
and next year. Then, suggests the
Journal, Salem may be called the rose
city. '
. Sarah Bernhardt carried home with
her a small box filled with American

a most appropriate emblem and in

Carlo has published, an annual state

Hon. w. K. Jillis met with a very
serious accident at Arlington yesterday,
by the running away of a stage team,
one leg was broken, and the candidate
was otherwise badly shaken up. This

his friends will carry on the campaign
all the same.

There is no foundation for the report
that the president intends to veto the
river and harbor bill. Mr. Harrison will
know full well, when this bill reaches
him, that it is a measure of such impor
tance that the greatest commercial inter

there may be a great many things in it
which should not be there, he will not
jeopardize the progress of the country
by withholding his signature. j

President Hill, of the Great Northern,
will be in Spokane today. Connection
between the Great Northern, and the
Union Pacific tracks was made yester
day, and the track-laying crew put to
work ballasting the track. About 600
men are engaged in this work. The )
work of grading through westward, is
completed at points all the way from
Spokane to the Columbia river.
Anyway, we've had free and unlimited
discussion of silver. Although Bill Nye,
as a professional humorist, is not ex
pected to say serious things, the follow
ing paragraph extracted from a recent
article by him, fairly glistens with pearls
of common sense : "Our wagon roads
throughout the country are generally a i
disgrace to civilization, and before we
undertake to supply Jaeger underwear
and seal-skiri covered bibles with flexible
backs to the African, it might be well to
put a few dollars into the relief of galled
and broken down horses that have lost
their health on (our miserable highways.
In Senator Sherman's argument on j
the silver question yesterday he eaid the j
only trouble about the law was, that the ,
senators could not eee ahead. If it had
been known silver was going to fall as j
rapidly as it did, he would have kept !
the silver dollar and put it on the same j
footing .as fractional silver. The suspen- !
sio.n of silver coinage by the Latin Union
and the increase of production have given j
great blows to silver. He claimed it was
uot -true he was unfriendly to silver.
Sherman then went.on to denounce the
bill under consideration," as wrong to
the American people in principle, in de
tail and in every aspect. It is a fraud
on the creditor, and a deception to the
debtor.

North Idaho Star : The Star extends
its congratulations to the city of Spokane
on having at laBt given the entering
wedge a start in the lowering of freight
rates. The great Northern has given
that city terminal rates on the water
pipes which' were bought in ' Alabama;
thus forcing the other lines to meet the
rate. This is only a - starter but it . is
probable that other announcements on
other articles will soon follow. This will
be the means of securing- to Spokane' the
trade of the richest section of country in
the United States.
Enterprise. The large number of
samples of ore from the new mine in l
Clackamas county have been assayed by j
the chemists at the Oswego iron works, !
and the average is 56 per cent of metallic
iron. The Oswago mines do not exceed
an average of 33 per cent iron. Next
week a large quantity will be taken to
the Oswego furnace, and the results of
practical reduction will be observed.
There is no question that the ore is very
high grade. ': . . .. ', . .
A sunflower evaporates one and one-
