HELP TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE
The New York Recorder would like to
Impress upon the mind of every one of
its readers the fact that lie or she can
.and ought to contribute individually to
Tee tore business confidence and quicken
the return of good times.
It is not really so much a question of
currency as of confidence. The business
of the country, hy far the greater por
tion of it, is not done with metallic
money, but with paper and credit and
-confidence.
.Congress can, and we believe it will
lo a great deal to strengthen the vast
fabric of credit and confidence on which
business activity alwraos has rested, and
always must rest by stopping promptly
the issue of paper moneys on a false j
short weight basis of intrinsic value. i
The people themselves must do the
rest, and every man should do bis per
sonal share toward the great patriotic
work of re-establishing confidence.
. Every man who believes in his court-
- try and wants to promote the speedy re
turn of good times should resolve to ob-
- serve these rules :
Spread no evil reports and believe
none until you have verified them at
first hand.
Look on the brightest side of every
event, whether it be notice of a bank
suspension or the report of a cholera
ehip arrived at quarantine, and refuse
to accept the darkest version of it.
Zl you have money hoarded and owe
- debta, pay up those debts and put so
much noney in circulation.
Jf other persons owe you money and
yea 2:now them to be solvent and hon
est people who can and will pay if they
are cot crowded and forced to realize on
their assets at a shameful sacrifice, don't
crowd them.
-If every reader will lay these few
Baiupie rules to heart and go to business
and work resolved to put them in force
the increased momentum given to the
movement now on to restore confidence
. siid revive business will be very great.
r fceutTal confidence is only the sum
total of individual confidences. If you
want to see general confidence, eel the
.example of being confident yourself.
NEAR TO A REVOLUTION.
The senate is as far off from conclu
sion as ever and Senator Voorhees gives
us the cheering intelligence that if a
vote cannot Vie reached this fall or winter
he is prepared, liae Grant, to fight it out
on the same line, "if It takes all summer."
If that is so the expensive sitting of the
senate will be a greater burden than the
silver purchase act. Hut the signs of
the times point to an intoleration of this
conduct, tober thinking meu are spring
ing up on all hands who announce, that
we are nearer a revolution than since
the revolutionary war. The million idle
wage-earners who are suffering for the
necessities of life are already menacing
us, the large mobs thnt assemble lu our
representative cities are only temporarily
subdued by the police, the wound is not
healed and their wrongs still fester. It
is estimated that a million and a half of
laborers are out of work at the present
time, and a great part of the remainder
have been reduced to a narrow living.
These men, unused to diplomacy, un
skilled in political trickery, though slow
of thought or speech, are quick in action.
It does not require much argument to
prove to these men, narrowed by priva
tion and want, that the rewards of toil
are not commensurate with what they
deserve, and when a state of unrest is en
gendered all along the lines, it will take
but a spark to ignite their passions which
will lead them to wrest from others by
force what they have been deprived of by
circumstances. These fears are not
groundless, there is much of realism in
them, and no watchful observer can con
trovert it. The senate should take conn
eel of the agitated condition the country
is now in, and do a 111 tie more law-mak
ing and less jaw-swinging.
nata because he is not a democrat. Mr
Van A leu is not a true American. He
has no sympathy with our people or
our Institutions. Ho was educated In
England and has lived mostly in that
country. He is a sort of self-expatriated
American who regards the United
States as "not tit for a gentleman to
live iu." Such a mail is not tit to rep
resent at a foreign court the great re
publicthe glory of Us worthy citixens,
the inspiration and hope of humanity in
all lands.

Tho anti-repeal mon, though in the
minority, have force enough to keep up
a filibuster Indefinitely. At presont
they seem determined to fight until the
Voorhees bill is killed.
L. R. Bolter, a democratic leader in
Iowa for many years, has bolted .and
gone over to the populists. If he don't
change his name he is still dangerous.
MARKET REPORT.
Miuers are leaving Butte by the hun
dreds for South Africa. Last week 400
tickets were sold to parties bound for
the mining region of that distant
.country.
A very good argument for better roads
is found in the fact that when the roads
are in the worst condition of the year
the winter and spring grain and other
farm products bring the highest prices.
Let the good work go on.
Every American exhibit of manufac
tures at the world's fair is a tribute to
the protective tariff policy which has
built np the productive industries of
this country in competition with the
established manufactures and the cheap
labor of Europe.
Trouble is anticipated in Kentucky
over the new law providing separate cars
for whites and blacks. The negroes
don't like it. They should reflect they
may be just as exclusive as the whites,
and not allow any "poor white trash" in
their cars.
The agitation against crinolines was
Ill-advised after all, and now that the
newspapers have quit talking about It,
the results are not at all as were anti
cipated. The skirts have not increased
in diameter to any alarming extent,
and they look very neat and pretty.
Philip of Mecedon said an army of
leer with a lion in command is better
than an army of lions led by a deer.
The great difficulty in the way of secur
ing the passage of the repeal bill is the
insincerity and incapacity of Dan Voor
hees as a leader. Walla Walla Union.
A resolution to restore the parity of
the legislative, executive and judicial de
partments of the government, with par
ticular reference to the first two, was
the contribution of Senator Stewart to
the senate calendar last week. It sets
forth that the independence of these
bras hes roust be maintained, and that
the use of the power and influence of
one department to control the action of
another is a violation of the constitution.
Believers in the Darwinian theory will
find encouragement in the following ex
Inordinary story told by the London
Daily News, which states that Dr. Mac-
gowan has returned to Tie'u-tsin, bring
ing with him, among other curious diS'
coveries, some particulars of a race of
Manchuriau monkeys inhabiting the
mountain region of the great wall of
China. They are said to know how to
make pottery; more remarkable still,
they are represented as having made ex
traordinary progress in theartof making
wine. A recent edition of the official
history of Yungping states that lately a
large body of immigrating monkeys
passed a certain village in crossing from
one mountain to another. The boys of
the village clapped their hands and
shouted at the spectacle, and the mon
keys, being frightened, fled, taking their
young in their arms, but dropping, in
their flight a number of earthen vessels,
some of which would bold a quart. On
opening these the villagers found that
they contained two kinds of wine, a
pink and a green, that had been made
from mountain berries. It is affirmed
that the monkeys store this liquor for
use in the winter when the water is all
frozen. Dr. Macgowan cites other in
dependent testimonials to similar facts,
including a Chinese account of monkeys
in Chekiang, who pound fruit in stone
mortars to make into wine, and he asks,"
"Is it likely that all these statements
are pure inventions?"
I'rleaa tleneralljr tlood for loinuiodltlea,
Notwithstanding- the Itepreaaluu.
Smith & Wesson, the famous revolver
manufacturers, recently sent a notice to
their thousands of employes stating that
instead of closing their works they had
decided to make a 10 per cent cut in
wages instead. At the beginning of the
circular are found these words: "In
view of the probable reduction to be
made in the tariff within the near future,
and the consequent increased competi
tion, we do not deem it advisable to in
crease our stock of goods at the present
cost." Then follows the terms of the
proposed reduction with the conclusion
that it is hoped that it may prove only
temporary "but no positive assurance
can now be given." It will be seen that
the Sherman law does not figure in this
case to the remotest degree. It is the
threat of tariff destruction and nothing
more. In commenting on the situation
the Boston Herald remarks that the
employes were thankful to be able to
accept a reduction in wages as a shut
down was generally expected. Nice
democratic times these, when a working
man is forced to choose between two
evils.
It is unfortunately true that mistakes
will occur in the newspapers. The Lin
coln County Times apologizes after this
fashion : "The Times was mistaken last
week in saying that Fred Zilmer got his
shoulder blade broken. It was E. Zil
mer, and it was his collar bone not his
shoulder blade, and it was not broken,
but fractured, and the fracture was ad
justed not reduced, and the whole oper
ation was performed by Drs. Whitney &
Turney instead of Kiddle as stated."
Anyone in this glorious country of
free schools ignorant enough to ask
"What part of Washington is Oregon
in?" while takirg in the world's fair is
not a desirable candidate for an immi
grant. Oregon Las been represented in
the map of every child's geography for
over sixty years, and if she hasn't so
large an exhibit as Washington it don't
excuse their ignorance. We repeat:
We don't want them, we have enough
native ignorance of our own.
The New York World believes the
nomination of James J. Van Alen as
ambassador to Italy is most unfortu-
Tuesuay, Oct. C Locally tho trade
for the past few days has been quiet, al
though the city presented a lively ap
pearance in having wheat hauling on
the streets from the farming sections.
The principal traffic was confined to the
provision and grocery lines, and even in
these, it is light. On tho whole, trade is
picking up somewhat, which has stim
ulated our dealers to replenish their de
pleted stocks. The first of the month,
which is a collection season, indicates a
continued stringency in finances and a
disposition to curtail expenses in all
directions. Purchases of merchandise by
patrons are consequently characterising
the shortening of the volume of business
in the dry iroods branch of trade. Our
dealers are waiting patiently for a move
ment in grain whereby those who are
being carried on time obligations can
settle np old scores. Indications point
to a letting go of their wheat even if it is
low to get cleared up, and as soon as the
break is made, hopes are entertained
that there will be an improvement and
healthfulness of conditions to follow in
the immediate future.
The produce market bears a tone of
heaviness. Arrivals continue to be large
in most kinds ; esecially is it so with
potatoes and quotations have dropped to
oO and 60 cents per suck. Onions are in
good supply at l'j cents per pound. In
fruits the market may be said to be over
stocked, and apples are delivered to
dealers at 23 to 50 cents per box. The
peach season is near an end and what
few are sold bring from 50 to 75 cents
per box. Grapes are offered freely at
2 to 3 cents per pound.
Poultry deliveries have fallen off
slightly.
Eggs are growing more scarce and
dearer, 18 and 20 cents per dozen is paid
freely on a good inquiry. Al butter is
fine at former quotations.
Live stock thnt are in fine condition
for slaughter has a downward tendency.
Fair beef cattle, steers from off the range
arc quoted at 2 cents, and fancy at 2'4'
cents per pound gross. Dry cows are
quoted at l'j to cents per pound
gross. Mutton, wethers, (1.73 to $1.8.")
per head, and ewes at (1.50 to $1.75.
The condition of the wheat market is
unchanged. The delivery at the mills
and at warehouses is large for storage.
The mills are paying 45 to 50 cents per
bushel for Klickitat wheat. The Port
land markets are steady on last week's
quotations and report heavy delivery for
shipment, as there is a large tonnage on
hand and require quick dispatch. There
is a desire to sell by a number of large
holders, preferring to let go rather than
pay interest on loans. East
ern and European markets are quiet
and steady. Holders are offering mod
erately. The Liverpool Corn Trade News of the
12th says a large number of estimates as
to the yield per acre of the English crop
have been received during the past three
weeks, and applying each to its proper
district we find the rectified mean for
the whole of England to work out at 20J4
bushels per acre, which upon the area as
officially declared last month would give
a total crop of 50,000,000 bushels for
Great Britain, and adding the 2,000,000
for Ireland, a grand total for the United
Kingdom of 52,000,000 bushels or 6,500,
000 quarters, compared with 53,320,000
bushels as given in these columns on the
30th ult. Last year the United Kingdom
crop consisted of 00,000,000 bushels."
Taking the above estimates, in con
nection with those which we published
in a former issue, confirms the reports
at hand that the requirements will be
all, or more than the surplus will bear,
and the drain from our own reserves
will necessitate a firm market ere the
close of the harvest year.

An aaeap mtareeoteu
Unif Creek KkIi
From SherlffCoiuba the Eagle loams
that the escape of Win. Moore, the Fox
valley robber, was Intercepted just at
the last moment. The sheriff had un
derstood that Moore was In possession of
a file and was milking a duplicate key
for a lock to one of the doors of the juil.
Ho made a demand on Monro for bl
tools, and the prisoner brought forth an
old case knife and a rusty lilo, which
articles had been about tho jail for some
time, at this nioiiient Sheriff Combs In
formed Moore that if lie did not produce
the tools he had secreted ubout tne j ill
he would put him iu irons and cumin" j
him to a cell until court convened. At;
this juncture Moore brought forth to'
new files, and a perfect key made from n j
case knife, with the explanation that
while jailor Powell was looking after the
wants of the prisoners, he caught his
chauces and took an Impression of the'
key in a bar of soup, which gave him a
perfect pattern to work from. ,
Just to see if it was possible for tin
prisoner to effect an escape, Sheriff t
Combs offered him $ if he could un- i
lock tho juil door with his newly made
key. Aloore at once accepted the oiler,
and in less than five minutes, by the
means of a wire and small sticks, he
was on the outside of the juil. For this
display of ingenuity Sheriff Combs kept
his word and compensated the prisoner
with a $") bill.
Since this occurrence Combs has kept
a close watch over .Moore, aad at the
same time using every possible means
in his power to ascertain the name of
the person who supplied the prisoner
witli the files and other implements of
invention.

A lease for nine thousand nine hun
dred and ninety-nine years in this
country, at least, ia rather a rarity, al
though the term of ninety-nine, or
even nine hundred and ninety-nine, is
not uncommon. John Peters, the
