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 cord. 64.5 miles; Lake Nicaragua, 56.5 miles. 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. "COIN'S" DOCTRINE OF MONEY: LOW PRICE OF WOOL. SPECULATIONS. 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 view. 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. Broad as is this land, there is no room in it at present lor an invoice ot men, with or without families, who are out of work and out of money. Oregonian. 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" that the maudlinly sentimental female 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. ttia&atiht and Sttttmlata cured bv Dp. 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 important political questions is un known, but judging by the bicycle girl in bloomers, she will straddle. Baker Democrat. 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. .

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.

The success or failure the cereal crops depends upon the rain fall and temperature during the next four weeks. B. S. Pague, Director, be of 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. Miles' Pala Plila car Neuralgia. 1 A Terrible Bevenge For a Horrible Crime. 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. LEAVES ITS MARK every one of the painful irregularities ana weaknesses mat prey upon women.
