The National Democrats of Ore . gpn have filed a protest" against the fusion presidential electors, and will endeavor. : to prevent their names being placed '.on the ticket. We know nothing as to whether the protesiants are right cr not, biit this campaign should be won without a resort to a technical compliance of the election laws respecting the mak ing up of the ticket. ...If Oregon is in favor of Populism; if this state is ready to declare that it cares no'thing for protection to American-industries and its. own great industry, the wool business; if it is in favor of the doctnne of the -npremacy of the state over the fed eral government; if it has not had nough-nay too mnch of Pennoy -erism ' and all , that Pennoyer has stood and docs stand for, we would . 2ifce to know it. We prefer to see a full and fair expression of opinion upon this subject. Oregon has al ways declared for tlie right when any of these national questions were at stake, and there is no reason to be lieve that its people , have so entirely changed their views. ; - We sincerely hope the effort to ex clude the fusion electors from the . ticket will not succeed. It is infi nitely better for the state, and for all concerned, to beat them at the polls than to take the serious results of their success. , As to the latter, there is little danger. THEY WHO AT AND TOIL NOT. 7, Mr. Bryan has much to say against the man who "wants to eat the biead someone else has earned. ' ' There are a great many such people now in our land; but every one of them is for Bryan and f ree . silver. They . are the class of men who daily call at our', doors and - beg or demand a .: meal khe men who' marched toward Washington and demanded support at government expense; men who , never were permanently employed in one' locality, because they dislike . permanent employment; - men who - never had a dollar to their credit in : any bank or place of. deposit 'and who: never . will. These are the men who' want ; to '.eat the bread someone ; else has earned, and to a man tbiey .are for Bryan and free silver There , are some wealthy men in - this country who came by. their - wealth.otherwise than by their own : industry, frugality : and ingenuity, but they are few; the great majority - of wealthy irien in - the United States haye - gained ; theif wealth ' by.. long : " lives of the hardest kind of- work- such work as Bryan never undertook . They are ihe backbone of our com-' merciai life, and are more servicea ble to society than all the politicians, v demagogues and orators put together. There are exceptions, we concede ; ... men 'whose' wealth has been inner . , ited or gained by. illegitimate specu . v lation, but the large class are as patri . otic as any. class of professional men, farmers or ' laborers: . The : wealthy '" ' 1 ' '.?-" men are opposed to the election of Bryan from reasonsr'of business ami patriotism as well; they .'are opposed to the ruin of , our. national credit, as well; ias our 90m meiclal. prosperity, through which ,they bare 'been, and are successful. ;' .' ,', , Two of the ..Populist electors, of Texas have declared that they will not support, Bryan. They, are the pnly consistent - Populists we have yet heard of. That the Democrr-tic party, is simply seeking to swallow the Populist party there is no doubt. Bryan's letter "of acceptan.ce ad dressed to the latter, indicates' it; Sewall's nomination and subsequent refusal to get out of the way, indi cates it. The Populist nominee for vice-president has neither been rec ognized or aided ' by the campaign managers," but has been treated with contumely by all the Bryan papers. What the Populists expect out ot this campaign is hard to figure out. f General Grant ywas first elected president upon a platform which de clared againstjepudiation, the Dem, ocratic platform in that campaign having expressly advocated the pay rnent ot the national debt in a de preciated paper money; In his first message .General Grant said : "Let it be understood that no repudiator of one farthing" of our public debt will be trusted in public place, and it v?ill go far to strengthen our pub lic credit, which ought to be the best in the world." His son, Jessie, ought to pin these. words in his hat; it would be a good idea to put there. Connecticut capitalists were .se"' verely "sat - down upon" by Mr, Bri'an during his recent tour through that stale, but the voters there dem onstrated at the recent city election that they were jjot convinced that a declaiation of a legislative body can make value. The Yankees -within this nation will be found, as they, al ways have been found, on' the right side of the-great' national questions, and in November the Republican majorities given at 'the recent city elections will be greatly increased. ' McKinley has not yet advertised that he believes he is sure to be elected. This, has not become nec? essary in ordar to keep his followers from desertion. McKinley's follow ers are encouraged by - the certain prospect 01 success, it we Had a little longer time for it, Bryan would not carry a northern, except possibly Colorado and ' Montana, and would lose a number of the southern states. As it is, McKinley is reasonably sure of from 240 to 267 Of the 447 elect oral votes. The canal at the Cascades appears to be about ready to let us "sail our boat," as the Oregbnian rather con temptuously refers tfrour transpor tation line. . Well," we care little what is said if .the)F will only swing the gales and let us out. .By the wa3, when Senator Mitchell was here the other day the matter ofN Colonel Day's promotion 1 was arranged for. We trust the papers, of the 'state, particularly the Oregonian, will here after address him as "General" Day. Less than one month remains be tween nownd election, and yet fhe price of silver has fallen about, two cents per ounce since -the .Chicago convention. Either the proposed change m the policy of this govern ment is-, not expected, by those who own silver,, bullioo, to improve the price, or else these owners of silver have . uo ' faith in." the election of Bryan'. We think neither thing will happen. . : - . . . Mr. Bryan is now trying to run a big ' bluff. lie is saying: "You workmen are under your employer's whip,1 and you dare not come out and vote for lie."' It - is.-the same old school-boy bluff, f'You dasen't because you are tied to your moth er's apron strings," t That dare never led people, into a right course-' Ex-Speaker Reed is planning to stump California and Oregon.- . He can place California in the Republi can column .if anyman can, and we sincerely; hoje he will- come. '.'.His oresence ' in Oregon wduld greatly ncrease the majorityj which we be- fieye is now assured. . , iPENNQYER'S HARANG OE. 'Governor Pcrnioyer. was a disap. poiutment to all: They. who. 'look upon, him as'a uieud of the people and a statesman flocked from far and near to be . enlightened, and were bored ;' aiid- many left the hall before be . was , two-thirds . through. . . They who believe he is a' demagogue went through curiosity to hear him preach the gospel ot cheap monc3T and how to get it. and left disgusted and wearied. ' . : -. : " : ' " We believed he would present ths doctrine of Popuhsir clearly and forcibl; we listened to a discon nected, illogical and weak harangue concerning frhejepmen getting rich without protection, and British gold controlling the policy of the United States. - r ", .The governor-announced . at the opening that he would follow no par ticular line of argument and would present no statistics, and be kept his promise'. II is speech was devoid or argument and Information. He ex posed his ignoiance of history and the Bible: misstated whatever facts he referred to, and wearied his audi ence. , His first words ' were heard by nearly twice as many listeners as the middle of. his speech, and from that-time until the close there was so much, confusion caused by those, re tiring from the hall that it was diffl cult to "hear what . was sajd. Pen jioycr was a greater" man in Wasco county before this address than he ever will be again. CONVINCING STATISTICS. . The following table answers many of the contentions of those who claim that gold has appreciated by reason of : the act of February . 12, 1873, The prices are taken from statistics of the treasury and agricultural de partments: ; TO- HAY CIR. r ' TA- PER CORN OATS TOES TON WHKAT FEB CAP 18.19 J8.13 1S7J .; 1S74 .. 1876 . . 1878 ... 1881 .. 1884 .. .59 . .67 .90 .39 14.53 43.19, 9.75 7.21 11.82 8.17 9.97 1.24 94 1.03 .77 1.10 .61 .68 At .62 .49 ...-4 1...37 . ..31 ....63 ....35 44 .- -50. .V..39 ..:.40 16.12 15.32 2L71 22.65 22.48 22.82 24.14 24.28 .24 .46 .27 .30 .42 .34 .82 1887 .'. 1890 .. 1892 .. 1891 ... .53 The fact is that prices are entirely independent of the silver question Wheat today . is higher than it has been for three "years, and the price of silver is lower than ever. At the same time a great political party is proposing, if successful, to legislate directly in . favor of silver. The natural result, of this agitation is to maintain the prjse of silver,' and were it not for Brj'anism, we believe silver wonld'be even lower than it Is, The Spokesman-Review deplores the use of money in politics. It indeed a shame the way Bryan, with his special train, is squandering the funds i of the poor mine-owners. After spending all that Sewall has put into the campaign fund, the mine-owners have been "called," and in the call the appeal is made to the mine-owners, naming some of them 'who can well afford to assist in this causev . to figure np the average monthly silver product from their mines, and multiply the product of one month -in. ounces by 64 cents, which is the additional price they will receive for their, product all of which ; will" be profits and at once have; that amount contributed and placed in the' hands of the treasurer of the bimetallic parties to assist Mr, 7 Bryan.'!,'.. The Republican party a.'so is spending, money, but instead of a special train and hotel bills, they are printing a large amount of literature, much of which is of permanent value, and placing it in the hand of every reading voter. The money the Re publicans are spending is generously contributed, not by one single class which is especially to be benefited, but by the people all over the nation whd. believe in a safe and. firm gov ernment, and a stable honest currency. We suggest that the Review send a marked cop3T of its daily, of the 7th to Mr. ' Jones, chairman of Mr. Bry an's committee, and another to Thos G Merrill of Salt Lake, the-secre tary who has just "called''. the mine owners, .' ' .. ' The Dalles need3 good roads more than anything else jiist now. The roads leading to the city, and 'within a few miles of town, are in a deplor able .-condition, and it is a wonder J loaded teams cau' psas over them at all.. Between the tiy and Floyd's the - road ' isparticularly 'bad, and something should be ; done at once to improve it. . Fifty loads of straw wojld give a temporary relief, and probably be all that is necessary from now. until the fall rains: But those " who have observed ' the en croachments of the river sand are' of the. opinion, that before The Dalles can claim much of . the business from the counties east of us, Iherc must be a "road from Floyd's place ..to the city 'above" the bluff.: We believe this matter of the roads near the city should receive the careful atten tion of our Commercial Club and our county court. ' The whole bur den should not rest iipon either alone. r The Spokesman-Review, like many of the Populist authorities of Wash ington, is becoming very unreliable. When it announced that the Great Northern was discharging its men because the3 would not declare them selves for McKinley, it published an untruth. .The statement of the men concerned brands this as another campaign lie. - We advise the Re view to confine itsl3ring to dead men and unwritten history. 1 "Coin" Harvey showed his lack of sense, and - brains at Clinton, Iowa; eight before last in denouncing ex Generals Howard, Alger, Sickles and Corporal Tanner as "old wrecks of the rehellion wno have fost their honor and patriotism, and are tools ot political Shylocks." The soldiers of the country will be quickly per suaded to vote the Republican ticket by that kind of talk, if by nothing else. ' . " x . . The ex army officers r composing General Alger's party have indeed invaded the enemy's Countrj- Kan sasand if large audiences indicated anything, we. would be forced to the conclusion , that the3' captured that state. But we believe that largo au diences are not the surest indication of public opinion, and no doubt Kan sas will remain in the Populist rank- The conspiracy, of the bankers to ruin the producers and laborers of this.country is the burden of Popu lism. , -Why not legislate banks cn tirely ont of existence ? Better still, why not cease patronizing them en tirely and ; starve them to death? There is no law which compels us to deposit with or borrow from them. "The Free Coinage of Silver," a paper by C. F. Randolph, an eminent lawyer and law writer . of Morris- town, New Jersey, is a piesentation of the silver question from a non-po- litical-standpoint. .It is a very clear and able paper and shouldjbe read by everyone desirous, of understanding the truth. " " '. The present county- court does not have to be reminded the second time of a public duty. Already ' steps have been taken to place the roads near the city in good repair. The effort in this direction will be appre ciated by every farmer who markets his produce here '" '- . ; The JGeorgia , election appears to have been a contest between Demo crats and Populists. . We feel much as the old woman did when .her hus band and the bear were fighting for supremacy -we .care little wnicn prevails.

The records at the clerk's office were never in 'as good shape as they are at present. : .There is. now not an instru ment, paper or filing of any kind that cannot be found at a. moment's not:ce. The last class of business papers to be collated, indexed and filed is the reports of executors and administrators, cover- irjga period frum 18G4 to the present time. .

Minor children who were orphans hare grown op around os, whose estates were left in the hands of administrators, and 1 these have neglect ed their duties, or appropriated the benefits of the estate to their own uses. The years have gone by, public interest in the heirs and their estates' have ceased. And the children have been prac tically nn protected. Widows nnfa miliar with business have been held back and wronged ont of their jnst portion. But all this is m ended. The clerk has jnst added a hew bonk to the courthouse records. It is entitled "Probate Regis ter," and it records every estate in .the Jiande of administrators, and the date. nature and present location of, every paper filed in . reference thereto. It shows many estates ' settled up, and others wofaljy in arrears. Anyone in terested in ascertaining the status of any estate of a deceased person can torn to this book and find ont all that has been done in the matter. - .. Since Jndge Mays has aunonaced that he proposes to enforce the law calling for semi-annual reports of administra tors, a long-neglected branch of county business will henceforth be conducted in a more business-like way', to the great benefit of helpless orphans and widows .... y The Drinking; Fonntaln Shut On.

None But Ayer's at tue World's Fair, Ayer's Sarsapariila enjoys the extra ordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact urers of other sarsap&rillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, bnt they were all turned away under the application of the rule for bidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's Sarsapariila was in effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsapariila Is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits." ' - ' . . Doom of the Theater Bat.'

"The management sincerely regrets any personal annoyance this may i-anse you, but must respectfully request that yon remove ynr hat, as complaints have been lodged that it interferes with the comfort and enjoyment to . which those, sealed back of yon are entitled.
