On Friday night of luat week 1 lie pupil of I ho Warren puhlio acliool gave an exhibition in the (choolhouae at that place, which is pronounced by those who attended a a very good amusement treat. Af ter the amusement program was con cluded, the young folk proceeded to clear the room in anticipation of the dunce which wa to folio. This they eucoeeded in accomplishing in a very few minute, after which the sweet strains of musio from the orchestra kopt time with the dancer' feet a they whirled around in the maty ahnne. The affair throughout it re ported as being the moat successful occasion of that kiud ever given by the amusement-loving public of War roa, and Ibe gueata reluctantly de parted in the early hour of dawn,hop ing to again be enabled to attend one of these successful affair character istic of that place. .

A somewhat elaborate program hud been prepared beforehand, and the friends and citizens generally invited to be present lo witness the exercises. To accommodate the audience, the upper unfurnished room was used, which bad previously been temporar ily tested and heated by one of the stoves from below, and quite a large audience gathered at the ringing of the bell iu the afternoon. At 1 : 30 p. m. the scholars marched in, carrying flags, and, after marching around the room, were seated on seats reserved for them. Patriotio muic by the ehool wa followed by patriotio reci tation and essays, each one having some reference to the hero whose birth day they were celebrating. These were interspersed by musio, with or gan accompaniment by Miss Coia Blackford. A very neat exercise by some of the larger girls, each one car rying a flag patterned after one of the original flags used in colonial times and iu the early days of our national struggles, wa a pleasing feature of the entertainment. Each girl in turn pre sented her flag, snd told something of the history of its design and its use, the audience thereby getting some in teresting history. At the close of the exercise by the school, Prof. Cleeton gave a brief eulogy on Washington and hi work. The entertainment wa calculated to inspire love of country and devotion to its flag, inculcating just such sentiments a ought to be impressed upon the rising generation in times like these when there is a tendency to disparage our country and it free institutions. Loyality to our country should be taught by all politi cal parties, and especially in all schools, o that our boys and girls may grow up to be loyal citizens, placing devo tion to the land of their birth.

I The Inco..t.f.e of xh PopwIUt Sootrlne. Kditos M ir.-Tb Oregon Independent, wblcb is about 4b only pouulut ibect now left In Oregon, sy, sditrlally, In It issue of February 20tb. substantially as follows: It 1 a well-known fact that oar green back wer purchased by the bolder of gold at forty cant on the dollar, tbu giv ing for one dollar In gold, two dollars and a half In greenbacks. With these the gold boarder purchased government bond at their face valua, to that a dollar In gold would bur a 12.40 government bond, the Interest of wblcb wa payable in gold In advance. Thus tb average rate of interest obtained from tb one gold dollar on gov- eminent bond and .national book script wu at least forly per cent. Hot content wilb this, onr government called in and burned a billion dollar lo greenback, and in their place iwned iBtereat-beariog gov ernment bonds." Without casting any reflections upon tbe intelligence of tb populist party, it is as tonishing bow brasenly some editor will distoit the truth when they should know that many of tbo republicans know too well their misrepresentations are hardly worth answering. It is an equally well-known fact that during the dark and doubtful per iod of onr late civil war, our bond were used to pay tbe bounties of soldiers snd general expense of the war, and if sold for gold. It wa at various discounts ranging from a small margin to 12.85, in July, im, for 11.09 in gold. . Yet the average price of gold, a taken on the 1st day of January from 1802 to 1872, a period covering tbe aale of all bond, was $1.45. These bonds drew 7 8-10 per cent interest usually, and were payable in ten or not until forty years. If we estimate the interest for twenty years at 7 S-10 per cent and add tbe average bonus of 46 cent we bare an aggregate of 12.56 for twenty year' Iriterest, or a fraction less than 13 per cent for the bond, and if you wish to add 10 per cent interest on 90 per cent for tbe banker, it then only aggregates 22 per cent, without any bonus, Instead of f 1.50 as claimed by Tbe Independent. And right bere let m add that the soldier who bad frugality enough to save'his bond, or greenback even, as well as any person who bad patriotism enough to loan his shekels to the government in time of need.has real ised tbe same appreciation of vilue as though he or she was a banker. In July, 1864, there was in circulation in round numbers, $415,000,000 of greenbacks. After tb circulating medium had been expanded by issuing national bank notes, tbe green back were retired until they reached 1346,- 1 000,000 In round numbers, w here it is fixed by legal enactment ; hence instea of one lllion dollars having been reared and burned, only sixty-nine million were so retired. Again the writer says: At the close of the war, three billion bushels of wheat would have paid the war debt. Today it would take two and one- half billion bushels, in spite of tbe fact that we have paid It all but nine hundred and ninety-five millions, together with the in- terest. Under our present tinanciai sys- -vuini, that debt is as everlasting as the rock- ibbed bills, and we can never pay it." Toshow bow little regard the writer had for tbe truth in the above paragraph, let us lake the report of the United Stutes com missioner of agriculture, wbioh puts tbe average price of wheat for the six years prececding 1869 at $1 42. This multiplied by one billion produces one thousand four hundred and twenty million, or about one half of the national debt at the close of tbe war; tbe average price of wheat for three years ending in 1892 was seventy six cents. multiplied by two and one-baif billions pro duces one thousand nine hundred and fif teen million dollars, while our debt Novem ber 1st, 1893, was only nine hundred and sixty-one millions. On the contrary, bas- ng onr estimates on wheat alone, it would have taken two billion bushels, if we bad it, to pay the debt at tbe close of the war. while now at the low price of the last few years it will require one million two hun dred thousand bushels. But white tbe calamity howlers may get a deal of com fort from hugging Some lllubioH, let me give them a few figure representing facts for their consideration, and see bow ever lasting this bagatelle of indebtedness is. While wheat is an important factor of our notional products, it Is by no means king, as the following annual productions will clearly show : Corn 7l4,000,0n0 Wheat aw.ooo.ooo Oats 221.000,000 Hav ... 400,000,000 Cotton, v ., 240,000,000 Potatoes . . ... 100,000,000 Tobacco ' 60,000 000 liver 45.000.000 Gold 33,000,000 Total - ....12,253,000,000 The total valuation of property in 1860 was sixteen billion dollars, but in spite of all the expense incurred by the civil war, which left a legacy of national Indebtedness of eighty dollars per capita.our total wealth In 1890 bad increased to sixty bilKon dol lars, and our indebtedness decreased to fourteen dollars and sixty-live cents per capita, or if you wish to include state debt of three dollars and fifty-six cents and county of two dollars and twenty-seven cents the total sum will only aggregate twenty dollars and forty-six cents, as against one hundred and sixteen dollars for France, which Is often held up as a model of thriftiness. Had I not already occupied so much of your space, it would bf easy to show the lessening of cost for the necessaries of tbe laboring man, while the wages of skilled labor, under the salutary influence of the McKlnley bill, increased considerably during the last decade. The essence of populism" being to pay an bonest debt with a due bill, Instead of an Interest-bearing note, will be considered in the future. Citizbh, A forty. Mile Ri4. E. R.
