THE MEETING OF REPUBLICAN
CLUBS.
The meeting of representative republi
cans in Portland will most likely be the
' largeet meeting of the lay members, bo
to speak, of the republican party ever
held in the etate, and if properly con
ducted will no doubt be of great advan
tage to that party ; but if it is to be
managed in the interest of any particular
scheme, as we are inclined to think it is,
it may have the contrary effect. If it is
the intention at that meeting to pledge
the republican party of Oregon to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the 16 to 1 ratio, we are of the opinion
that so far as the republican party is
concerned the meeting had better not
have been called. We are- confident
that a majority of the delegates elected
will be in favor of free silver from the
fact that those favoring that policy are
very aggressive, and as delegates are
elected they see to it that those favoring
the policy will go as delegates. The
same spirit that dominated the last legis
lature and forced the defeat of the
people's choice for senator, is at work to'
day, and expects, by pledging the party
in this state to free silver, to solace
themselves for their previous acts and
. claim an endorsement by the people.
Knowing Senator Mitchell's popularity
with the people they wish to put them
selves in the attitude of his special
champions.
One year ago not one republican out of
fifty in this state but that thought Sen
ator Dolph would succeed himself. The
same feeling, with equal unanimity, ex
ists today with reference to Senator
Mitchell. But if those who were so con
spicuous in defeating Dolph assume to
themselves to dictate the policy of the
republican party, there will be resent
ment on the part of many conservative
republicans in Oregon. Oregon republi
cans, and, we might say, Oregon people
generally, are conservative. Senator
Mitchell is not 'so popular in Oregon, be
cause of his views on the silver question
We might say be is popular notwith
standing bis views on that question, and
very many who bold to different views
to him would willingly see him re
elected to the senate so long as the fight
on the silver question is not forced to
the front. But once make silver the
issue in our politics, men will take sides
according to their convictions and vote
and act accordingly, regardless of former
friendships. If the republicans adhere
to their platform of '92, there is little
doubt of success in '96. If our country
is to adopt the policy advocated by the
populist party; if we are to come to
the silver standard and follow in the
lead of Mexico and China, we want the
result brought about by the populists
party. We are of the opinion that it
would be difficult to bring a greater ca
laraity on our people, and no party can
sarvive that adopts it. Arlington Re

Few also, perhaps, know that the dis
tance from Liverpool to San Francisco,
via the Nicaragua canal, is only 7,694
miles, or a saving of 6,996 miles, or that
the distance from New York to San
Francisco, via the Horn, is 14,840 miles,
and the distance between the same
points by tbe canal -route is only 4,946
miles, or a saving of 9.894 miles. The
completion of this canal means to Ore
gon a thirty-day service by steamer be'
tween Portland and New York and New
England; it means that the products
the forests of the West will be laid down
in tbe markets of the East at living
prices, and that staple commodities will
be brought to this coast at the minimum
cost.

World ot the 16th
GOLD BOND
The New York
says :
"Another chapter was added to the
big syndicate's histort yesterday. A
notice was sent to the bond banks inter
ested in tbe gold deal, requesting the
deposit by tbe banks of a large quantity
of gold in the sub-treasury here. The
explanation of this last last move lets a
bit of light on the bargain which the
syndicate made with the government.
Most of the banks which co-operated
with the bond syndicate were members
of the original pool which subscribed
for the last bond issue at about 104. It
is estimated that the banks will now
deposit about $13,000,000 additional
gold in the subtreasury, raising tbe re
serve to about $111,000,000. In addi
tion to this call the syndicate is rushing
forward foreign gold to complete that
end of the contract. Some apprehen
sive operators see in this activity of pay
ment a probability that the syndicate
will comptete its contract with the gov
ernment so soon that there will be time
for another 'scare' and the need ot an
other bond issue befere fall, when the
heavy exports of grain usually bring a
natural flow of gold from Europe to this
country."
Few people know that the estimated
coBt of the Nicaragua canal is $100,000,
000. and that it will take six years to
build it, and that the estimated traffic
through it at the opening will be 5,000,
000 tons, but such is the case. The
canal in excavation is 2.68 miles in
-length; the length of basins is 21.6
miles; the leDgth of tbe San Juan river
The question is being asked in many
quarters, says the Boston Herald, "Why
does not wool improve, along with other
staples?" The Herald answers this by
saying that "wool has not yet reached
the condition of greatly shortened sup
ply and increased demand that has been
experienced in other staples. That
point is going to be reached sometime,
but it is not yet in eight. Tbe supply of
wool all over the world is a large one
and since the market is now entirely
under the influence of the other markets
of the world, an advance in wool strong
and permanent will' only come when
the supply f wool has been sufficiently
reduced all over the world."
This is the correct explanation, but it
does not accord with the theories and
predictions advanced by the Herald and
other free trade journals when they were
contending for free wool. The wool
grower was told then, with great per
sistence, until be came almost to believe
it. that free trade in wool would bring in
the foreign grades, but as these grades
were needed to mix with the American
clip, the effect would be to create an
additional demand for American wool
and this, in turn, would put up tbe
prices of wool.
This theory was rather attractive in
prospect, but in retrospect it is altogether
different. The American wool grower
has learned by experience that free wool
makes the American manufacturers in
dependent of the home market. The
manufacturer, desiring to imitate closely
the European fabrics, rather prefers to
buy altogether of the foreign wools,
This leaves the American wool grower in
a position where he is forced to accept
tbe London prices, less the cost of trans
porting his wool to London. If the tariff
were put back on wool, the prices would
come back. Spokane Spokesman Re

The busiest day on Ellis island for
two years was May 11th, when tbe au
thonties examined and landed 4002
steerage passengers from European
ports. This is the largest number which
has been dumped upon our shores in
single day since June 8, 1893, when 4,142
immigrants were disposed of. If this
influx of undesired population is due to
the publication abroad of the fiction
that times in this country are improv
ing and work becoming plentv, it is
more than likely that it will be checked
by the return letters of the deluded
creatures themselves, after a brief strug
gle with the realities of tbe situation.

Tbe dispatches etate that hundreds of
young women, moved by maudlin senti
ment, crowd to the jail in San Francisco
for the parpose of seeing Durrant, and
manifest a desire to lavish their sym
pathiea and bouquets upon him. It
might be well to teach this class of
people something to send Durrant back
to be confined in Emanuel church, and
then allow the young ladies to call on
him one at a time. The lesson would
probably be lost on them, since dead
people do not talk, but in course of time
when it became well known that, like
the gatep of Castle Garden, the doors of
Emanuel church "swung only inwards"

might take u tumble to herself.
Professor Rudolph Falb of Vienna
now prophecies that in November tbe
earth will collide with a wandering Jew
of a comet, and be smashed and ruined
by the shock. Intense heat will be
caused- by the collision, and tbe atmos
phere will be choked with poisonous
vapors. xet when the grand crash
comes, above the hies of oceans suddenly
converted into steam, above the deafen
ing roar of rending rocks and pulverizing
mountains, above chaos come and b 1
let loose, will be heard the deathless
shriek of Bill Stewart, and tbe last
sound that greets mortal ears will be that
scream from bis soul as it lights out for
Mars, "16 to 1."
The editorial pages of the Oregonian,
as well as many other of our exchanges,
are mainly devoted these days to edito
rials against tbe delusive statements of
"Coin." It would seem from tbe per
sistent manner in which they all insist
that Coin is a fool, that the old prover
about a fool asking questions that wise
men cannot anwer, is founded on fact.
Coin" has been given large powers for
evil by tbe persistent advertising given
tt by the opposition press.

MILES' PAIN FILLS. "One cent a dose."
The author of the Chicago free-Bilver
extravaganza, entitled "Coin's Financial
School," is evidently a disciple of the
Barnum philosophy that the world loves
to be humbugged. That curious hodge
podge of facts that are not so, and theo
ries that could not be sustained even if
they were so, appeals to just about that
level of intelligence to which tbe salve
peddler of Barnum's story appealed
with such profitable reeults. "If
dog's tail is cut off," said the peddler,
"and a little of this salve is applied to
the stump, a new tail will quickly grow
in place of the old one, and, by applying
enough of it to the severed tail, a new
doe will erow out of that also." The
peddler retired from business in a short
time with a fortune.
"Coin" deals with currency instead of
dogs, and bis miraculous salve is the
free, independent and unlimited coinage
of silver bv the United States against
the world in general, and what be is
pleased to call "the English octopus" in
particular. The virtues of this salve, if
we will onlv apply it with full faith and
courage, are set forth with wonderful
assurance and fluency. It will make
the payment of all our debts twice as
easv. At the same time it win aouDie
the price of all that we have to sell to
England, France and the rest of the
gold-using nations. It will make the
United States "the most prosperous nx
tion on the globe," and, as for England,
we are assured that it will "blot ber
name out from tbe nations of the earth"
if she makes any fuss over it. Consider
ing that England is by far the largest
and best customer for the bulk of our
exports, it is not quite clear how we are
to become "the most prosperous nation
on the globe" by sponging England off
the map. Nevertheless, "Coin" is quite
positive that his free-silver salve will
easily accomplish both things, and,
eomehow or other, bring wealth to the
pockets of American producers by de
stroying their markets and ruining
their customers.
The light and airy assumption that
nnderlies this whole superstructure of
silliness is that if tbe United States
mints would only coin all the silver that
can be brought to them at a ratio of 16
to 1, an "unlimited demand" will have
been created for the white metal by
which 50 cents' worth of it will be made
as good as $1 in gold all around tbe
world. As if our government, or any
other government, or all governments
acting in concert, could create an "un
limited demand" for anything at an ar
bitrary, fixed valuation, by tbe short
and simple method of stamping it as
worth so much !
There is infinite humor in this idea
that the government can call real value
into existence by the magic of its mere
mandate. The joke is not new, how
ever. Nations have had fun with it on
manv historic occasions. Jack Cade an
ticipated "Coin" on Blackheath Com
mon over five centuries ego, when he
addressed his motley following and said :
''Your captain is bravo and vows ref
ormation. There shall be in England
seven half-penny loaves Bold for a
penny; the three-hooped pots shall
have ten hoops, and I will make it
felony to drink email beer." "God save
your majesty I" cried nis bearers. I
thank you, good people," eaid Cade;
there shall be no money ; all shall eat
and drink on my score.' "Coin is sim
ply Jack Cade revised up to date. He
will make sixteen ounces of silver equal
to thirty-two ounces at Amencon mints,
and all the world shall accept it at bis
valuation or "there shall be no money,"
and then we shall all "eat and drink on
bis score." Two pecks of wheat shall
be a bushel in Liverpool, or we will keep
and eat our wheat ourselves and let Eng
land howl with hunger. The people
who have loaned us money, whether
foreigners or natives, shall accept silver
at our valuation or get nothing.
There is no difference between sucb
incoherent idiocy as this and the famous
financial lunacy of John Law, the crazy
experiment of revolutionary France with
her assignats, or the wild delirium of
England in the South sea bubble epi-
eode. The same delusion that is danc
ing in the brains of "Coin" and his
financial school for the feeble-minded
danced in the brains of the men who
gave tbe world those astonishing exhi
bitions of fiat-money madness. They all
believed, as "Coin" assures bis dupes,
that the government had only to stamp
something as money, and, presto, it was
good as gold."
Behind the assignats whb the fiat of
France, backed by tbe death penalty for
refusing to honor them as real money,
and yet, as Carlyle tells us, they eunk
low that the hackney coachman in
Paris came at last to call for 6,000 livres
in assignats (about $1,500) for a fare.
Tbe fiat of. the English government was
behind the South sea speculations, and,
a result, there was a time when, in
the words of Macauly, "the South Sea
Company were voting dividends of 50
per cent, when 100 of their stock were
selling $1100, when Threadneedle street
was daily crowded with the coaches of
dukes and prelates, when divines and
philosophers turned gamblers, when a
thousand kindred bubbles were daily
blown into existence, the periwig com
pany and the Spanish-jackass company
and tbe quick-silver taxation com
pany.". And then came the crash.
"Ten thousand families were reduced to
beggary in a day," and the duped peo
ple demanded that the promoters of all
these frauds, based on "Coin's" doc
trine, .that government fiat can create
something out of nothing, should be
"tied up in sacks and thrown into the
Thames."
- The people of the United States are
not to be victimized by any such hallu
cination as the pretendfd power of their
government to declare -50 cents' worth
of material to be 100 cents' worth of
money, and made all mankind believe
it. Barnum may have been right in
saying that "the world loves to lie bum
bugged" when it goes to the circus or
deals in dog salve. But the currency of
a nation cannot be treated on circus
principles, and "Coin's" dog-salve doc
trine of money will not be a successful
imposture. Baltimore Sun.
It is a question whether the meeting
of the republican clubs in Portland next
Wednesday will . be beneficial to the
party or otherwise. We fancy it will
be otherwise. Naturally there will be
a clash between those holding opposite
views on tbe silver question, and if it
does not end in open rupture, it will do
better . than most thinking persons ex
pect of it. We remember the meetiug
of the democratic clubs here nearly two
years ago, which was a regular parrot
and monkey blow out. If we can guess
at all, there is going to-be some very
warm debates, and, metaphorically
speaking, some luir pulling.
What position, women will take on

known, but judging by the bicycle girl

WASHINUTON LETTER.
Fiom our regular correspondent.
Washington, May 17, 1895.
It is given out by those connected with
the administration that the reason the
idea of court-martialing Admiral Meade
for bis recent criticism of tbe un-Ameri
can policy of tbe administration was
abandoned was that, Admiral Meade de
clined to answer questions as to bis res
ponsibility for the newspaper interview
in which the criticism appeared and the
absence of any law to compel the news
paper man who interviewed the admiral
to testify before a naval court martial.
But that was not the reason at all ; it
was merely a pretence. Tbe real reason
was the fear of public opinion, which
was quick to Bee that Admiral Meade
was goaded into making the remarks
which constituted a technical violation
of the naval regulations, but reflected
the sentiments of seven-tenths of the
American people, and would have been
equally as quick to resent any attempt
to punish him by tbe use of a packed
court martial. Admiral Meade has
given the country forty years of gallant
service, havine a record unsurpassed by
any living officer of our navy, and the
administration will do well to make the
reprimand which it proposes to give him
as mi,ld as possible. .
There is little doubt that tbe presi
dency of tbe Pullman Car company has
been tendered to Secretary Greeham. A
gentleman whose relations with several
directors of that company are close ex
presses the opinion that if Mr. Greeham
declines the position it will be offered to
ex-Secretary Robert T. Lincoln.

Oregon State Weather Hervica for
Eantern Oregon.
. WaATnEB : Clear, warm weather pre
vailed up to the 19th, when a few light
showers occurred amounting to from
to .10 of an inch. The maximum tern
peraturea ranged from 43 to 60 degrees
in the Columbia river valley and from
38 to 48 degrees to the south of
Warm northerly winds prevailed on the
15th and 16th.
Chops: The warm .winds did
marked damage, further than to dry tbe
soil still more. The cereal crop ia re
ported to be in fair condition in Wasco
and Sherman counties, generally poor in
Gilliam and Morrow counties andTfair in
Umatilla and Union comnties. More
rain in those counties would be of great
benefit and tend to largely increase the
yield. The fruit prospects continues ex
cellent. Berries of all kinds, will
unusually prolific. Strawberries are ri
pening rapidly? and large shipments are
being made from Wasco county. Sheep
shearing continues and heavy, clean
fleeces are secured. The raage grass is
fairly good. Tbe drives to the nioun
tains will begin shortly. The outlook
for the years crop is about a fair average
at this date. The success or failure
the cereal crops depends upon the rain

four weeks.

An open rupture between Mr. Cleve
land and Vice President Stevenson is in
the opinion of many, certain to occur in
the near future. All of the news re
ceived in Washington points to tbe prob
able capture of the democratic party of
Illinois by tbe silver men, and it is no
longer denied in any quarter that the
entire silver movement in.that state baa
been from the first in the interest of Mr,
Stevenson's candidacy for the democratic
presidential nomination, and Mr. Cleve,
land believes that Mr. Stevenson was the
moving spirit in the whole business and
does not hesitate when talking with bis
friends to call bim "a traitor to tbe ad
ministration of which he is part" and
other uncomplimentary things. Should
tbe two men meet it is believed that a
quarrel is certain.
Some people seem determined to drag
silver into everything. A proposition
has been made to tbe governor of Dela
ware to appoint a democratic silver man
senator to contest the seat to which re
publicans claim Col. Dupont was elected
and if tbe governor agrees an attempt is
to be made to get enough populist votes
to make when combinedwith the solid
vote of the democratic senators a major
ity of the senate, and to seat tbe man
appointed by tbe governor, regardless of
tbe report that will be made by tbe com
mittee on elections, not because they
will believe him entitled to the seat, but
because the man can be counted upon to
vote for silver at all times. It is difficult
to believe that such a scheme as this can
be put through, and your correspondent
is confident that should Gov. Watson
give his consent it will be found that
somebody has been trying to dispose of
what they did not control. ' The senate
is controlled by the silver men anyway,
and the Bhrewd silver senators will be
quick to see that euch a scheme would
be certain to injure the cause of silver
with the public at large, while tbe vote
that would be gained in the senate
would not be ot the slightest assistance.
Tbe next senator from Delaware will be
Col. Dupont, if he lives. C. A. S. -Sr.

Madison, t la., May 20. There is no
longer any doubt that Sam Echols, Sim
tjrowiey and John isroofcs, the negroes
who outraged and murdered Miss Arm
strong, in Lafayette county, were flayed
and burned. A man who has just
reached here from Lafayette county
says the belief is general that the negroes
were tortured to death. One man who
ventured into tbe swamp into which the
negroes were carried asserts that- be
found the place where the negroes were
put to death. He says that it was evi
dent that the negroes were tied to trees
and the skin stripped from them with
knives. Then wood was heaped about
the bleeding forms, the match applied
and the wretches were soon dead. This
man says that he found some strips of
Skin about the place which bears out the
assertion that they were flayed. . Every
thing is quiet in Lafayette county, and
there is no fear of trouble between tbe
races. The better class of negroes de
nounce the outrage and murder of Miss
Armstrong as bitterly -as the whites,
Twelve negroes have now been lynched
in six months, and it would seem that
the horrible fate of the last three should
prevent further attacks upon white
women. The whites have formed
band and are determined to protect their
wives; and daughters.
