U is true the railroad company would not have saved so much money, but thousands of our people would have bad the privilege of earning bread in tbe manufacture of the goods. Under operation of the Wilson law, however, it is plain to be seen that England, with cheap labor can close our furnaces and drive those anxious to toil for bread into the streets end to idleness. What plainer lesson on behalf of the protective system do we need than this one under our per sonal observation. Or, in the Ua guage of Mr. Horr, "if you buy the rails in England, England has the money and you have the rails ; but if you buy the rails in this country you The fact should be kept in mind that the comniiBsiou appointed by President Cleveland in the Veneiuclitu would have CM wil1 not have the authority or at tributes of a tribuual for the conclu sive adjustment of a conti-oversev.

The feature of the republican senatorial caucus held today es a discussion ot the advisability of amending the Louse tariff bill by adding s free-coinage amendment to It in the svnate. This discussion was confined to the free coinage wing cf the party, The result of the meeting was the adoption of Quay's resolution, uitioduoed yesterday, expens ing the sense of the senate cauous to be that the finance committee should report the bill as it came from the house, with a few verbal changes which will not alter the meaning of the measure in any essential feature. There was no roll-call upon this, but there were a few dissenting voices. There was no formal effort to bind the senators to support the bill when It should come before tbe senate, and it was left open to amendments at that stage of the pro proDamy oe accepted by our govern menl, and as that decision is reason ably certain to be different from the claim made by Great Britain, another request tor arbitration will be made. That is to say. Great Britain will not be asked to modify or reliquiah her claim according to the finding of this commission : but tbe fact that reason Lave the rails and your brother who thus furnished for doubting the val toils has the money ; thus by the latter method both the money and rails are possessed in this country ; dout you TBE APPROACHING CAMPAIGS, Bute, district and county politics can be heard in the distance, ana it rill be but a short time nutil it will be the all absorbing topic for discussion. There will probably be no special con test for tbe eNDreme iudgship. since it is almost certain that Judge Bean de-1 stands Great Britain has peremptorily aires to succeed himself on the so- declined to arbitrate, and has also preme bench of the slate, and, being questioned our right to interfere for very popular, will probably have no the protection of any interests of ours opposition.

As the casj now It was while the advisability ot attempt ing to secure a pledge ot support was under consideration that the silver question came up. It was sprung by a question as to what the silver republicans would do In case a tree-silver amendment should be offered to tbe tariff bill iu the senate. Mitchell of Oregon was tbe first to respond to this in quiry. He said he would join the silver forces in an effort to secure the adoption of a free-coinage substitute for the house bond bill, but that with the silver question dis posed of in that connection, he would ad rise that the silver republicans refrain from participating to any effort which might be made to amend the tariff bill by adding a free-coinage pro vision . There was a general expression of opin ion that the bill, whether amended or un amended in the senate, never would become a law. Several senators expressed the opinion that it could not receive executive sanction. in the two districts, bowever, will, as usual, be interesting. In this district there are always candidates to spare, and heretofore all have been put for ward by Eastern Oregon, it Is pro bable, however, that Portland will properly speaking, with a view of as certaining in a definite way what en croachment is proposed by Great Brit ain, and to what extent, if any, the Monroe doctrine is likely to be vio lated. That will give us a distinct supply any shortage that might occur basis of action, and a practical iustifi in congressional aspirants this year.

Indeed Hermann stock seems away below par just at this writing, largely by reason of his failure to become the chairman of the bouse rivers and harbors committee. Had he succeeded in securing that much coveted prise there would have been little doubt as to his success for renominatioo. But as matters now stand very few are willing to ad mit that his chances are encouraging'. Hon. Thomas 1L Tongue, of Washing ton county, seems to be tbe most prominently mentioned for Mr. Her mann's place. Marion county also, baa several aspirants for the place, among them being T. T. Geer and C. B. Moores, ex-speakers of tbe house of representatives, and Tillman Ford, ail of whom are well known over the stale. Senator Brownell of Clackamas county is lso favorably spoken of in connection with the congressional nomination. Then again, there is the district at torney, the joint senator and the mem ber of tbe state board of equalization for this district, candidates for all of which are being discussed more or less, and for tbe two places first named there are at present a oumber of candi dates already in the held, but the gen eral tendency Of sentiment among these aspirants, as well as of those seeking county positions, is to wait until after the meeting of the central committees of the several counties be fore besinning an active canvas. Chairman Warren, it is understood, will call a meeting of the county cen tral committee sometime about the first of February, and from that time forward until ihe county convention is held aspirants for the different places will be found without the use of a tele scope. It is not generally believed that outside of tbe nominations for county judge snd representative there will be much opposition in tbe county convention, and even these two places on the ticket may be filled by accla mation when the time comes. Har mony should prevail at all events, and good men only placed upon ihe repub lican ticket, which, in view oi tue over- Opposed to War. Columbia Cm, Jan. 1, 1396. Editors Hist: We are surprised and disappointed at congress being so easily de ceived by the president's message on the Venezuelan question. It seems to ns tbe document wss in tended for another purpose foreign from the one produced upon the people, to-wit: "apparent loyalty to this government, and a hostility to England to disabuse tbe minds ot our people, it seemed necessary especially, to unite the North and Bonth politically, and also npon the wisdom and justice of issuing bonds and retiring green- backs and the Wilson bill." From tbe tone of congress it appears they were worked for sll that was oat, and that perfidy wins. Our people are now suffering for the bread of life, for tbe reason that the gold has been absorbed by Europe and Wall street, New York, and silvsr, our great resource, positively demonetised by law, but not justice. Show us tbe lew that changes the ratio between silver and gold can't do it. These hard times, with silver desire for war on the part of the Amer-1 depreciated and retiring paper money will lean people if it can be honorably avoided; but they will insist urxm the strict observance of the Monroe doc trine, let the consequences be either pleasant or unpleasant. As inland route for torpedo boats aiong our Atlantic coast is a highly important aid to the defense of our seaports, A quick concentration at threatened points can thus be effected. and a hostile ship approaching our shores will have to exercise the ut most vigilence at night or its hall will be blown open by a hieh explosive. The Cashing, now on its way from New York to Washington by interior canals, has already made several trips on inland waters. Last spring she sieameairom nonoiK, va., to Jack sonville, Fla.. without going to tbe open sea except for one stretch of 200 miles. It is well to remember, when naval affairs are nndar discussion that lorpedos have not yet been proved to be less formidable to a fleet than a fleet is to a vigorously defended sea port. The days of great emigration to tbe West is over. Tbe tide is flowing south. People who are in search of homes are going south. Thousands who have been battling with the cold of tbe Dakotas are now seeking a more equitable climate, and Alabama seems to be tbe choice at present. The West must exert itself if the bomeseekers are to be attracted. Tub fact that Russia stands ready to aid the United States with ships and money in a possible war with England cannot fail to keep Lord Salis bury's mind in a condition of healthy hesitation about pushing' the Vene- soela question to the fighting point The United States had but a small navy in 1812, bat the havoc it created among tbe ships of the Mistress of the Sea was simply phenominal.

In order tbat Is 86 years old, Caseins M Clay, tbe hero of the very best men may be selected tor many bard-fought battles for abolition in tbe several offices to be filled it would be well for the different republican clubs of tbe county to renew their meetings and begin to discuss tbe different candidates they desire to see placed in tbe different positions. The time is opportune for such work, snd especially should the most thorough organization be effected, since tbe na tional election follows closely in the wake of the election held in June next. ' No little consternation was mani fested here last Friday when it was learned that those who had purchased lieu-land script and supposed they were in actual possession of certain tracts of land, found their claims had been held for cancellation at tbe gen eral land office. The letter from tbe Kentucky, and Lincoln's war minister to Bussia, in an Interview declares congress should issneSl,000,000,000of 100 year bonds, put a tremendous array in tbe field and take possession of Canada, saying to the Canadians that they could come into tbe United States peaceably if they would, but corns tbey must.

We want to call your attention to another fact mors potent than tbe laws of money. When we take a retrospective view of the destructive warfare that has cursed man kind for six thousand years, swallowed up Pbaroah's hosts, blotted out tbe Grecian and Roman empire, ushered in tbe dark ages of eight thousand years, and now death to christian Armenians by the Turks snd our fraternal war, the principal causes being the love of gain, ambition and tbe difference In religions, which is all foolish ness for, in fact and in truth, there is bnt one religion, and tbat is embodied in the Tea Commandments. And now, to close, to think for a moment of England and America, with past exper ience In this rspid age of advancement, knowledge, christian science and apparent devotion, to go to war, a step backward to ward barbarism, it eanses one to question the existence of a God. Tbe two great and the only English-speaking peoples on earth with their truer christian principles more than all the world combined, it would, in truth, destroy the faith and hope in heaven and enlarge the confines of bade. We are in the swim, we must not we dare not, do as the world has done, human reason teaches us that we mnsl come and live to gether in harmony, in unison with the physical universe of the lapse of time (with our start) we'ean grow wiser and better by work and charity, there is no room for doubt, otherwise we ought snd will be lost, to all eternity. Let ns, this year in this life, do as we know we ought to. Then tbe objects of life and our creation will have been accom plished. C. O. C, Talks Too Much. General Nelson A. Miles of the United States army, whom, it will be remembered Secretary Lamont dubbed a newspaper soldier, bas been se verely censured of late for the follow ing utterance which appeared in one of the Eastern newspapers recently in regard to a probable war with Eng land, for which utterance no doubt tbe administration has been seriously con sidering bis removal. He said : "I have returned from an Inspection tour of the southern coasts snd, like those of other sections of the country, I find them in an entirely defense less condition. If war should break out at present all we have in the South, or in fact, anywhere else, with a few exceptions, will be a lot of obso lete guns on rotten carriages, which would fall over before tbey could be of any service. Tbe country is in a de plorable condition for defense. There are only three modern guns in posi tion in this country. Two of these are at the entrance to New York harbor and the third at San Francisco. If congress will make a liberal appropria tion tberefor tbe coast could be put in condition for defense in about two years. The work would cost about 180,000,000. It would take in the neighborhood of a year to manufacture tbe tools necessary for the construc tion of tbe guns, and another year for tbe manufacture of the guns them selves."

We were young then, but now write entirely from memory. We may have forgotten some of the circumstances, but enough remain to make a good tem perance story, and otherwise It shows what men can and will do when arbitration fall to give relief: In 1840 titers were Iwo men, one by the name ot Geo. Geer and the other Wm McGurrigal, selling whisky ("blue ruin" as It was then called) to Indiana at Astoria The Indians then were very numerous on tbe north side of the river, and they would come over to Astoria and get drunk and re main so tor a week or more. While In that condition they would threaten to kill all the whlto people. At that time there was not more that ten or a dosen people (grown people) living In Astoria, perhaps not more than forty men In the county. The cltl- sens told these men they must desist and not sell to Indians. The furs of the country were very plentiful. The men said they would continue to sell no mutter whst the consequences were. Finally a complaint was made to the county officers. Joseph Caples was sheriff, Clatsop Smith (his ini tials we do not remember) was probate judge, and W. H. Gray was county auditor, alt appointed bv Gov. Geo. Ahernathy. The sheriff called on the two men and told ihcrn they must not. at the peril of thrlr liberty. sell any more whisky to Indians. At ones they became angry and siitl they would sell, and no one dare attempt to prevent It, and if they did their life wo In danger. This only made the peqpla more deter mined to stop It. However they were afraid the men would get the Indians to protect them. In fact the Indians said they would defend them. Tbe entire community was thoroughly aroused and determined to ar rest the men and destroy the business. So early in February, 1847, the sheriff called out the militia, or at least 30 aisn and one boy (myself, 15 years old). Two boats full of men went from Clatsop plain and one from Wsstport snd arrived In Astoria early In the day. Borne ot tha men got out of the boats and went over the hills to town. All were well armed and prepared for war if it must come, and the house In which the mischief sprang was quickly surrounded. Indians and all. perhaps a hundred. Geo, Geer was arrested and disarmed. Wm. McGurrigal ran to the river and attempted to make his escape to Chinook, -across the river. Tbe sheriff sent a boat after him sod he was caught half a mile from shore. A heavy wind prevailed at the time and his boat swamped and be was thrown into tbe water and half drowned. Though before be would surrender he attempted to upset the other boat, and said he would drown ail tbe s b -. Uno man took up an oar while be was in the water trving to upset the boat and told him If be did not stop be would break his head. He then gave up and was pulled aboard half drowned, then tied (we bad no handcuffs- then) and brought ashore to the saloon. Then the work of temperance oummeiioed in good earnest. All the barrels and bottle were brought out, the corks removed, and the contents mingled witb the broad Colum bia, to the grest disgust ot all the Indians, who attempted to dip up the whisky but were not permitted to do so In the least. The house was located about where Kin ney's cannery is now located. I think Col. James Taylor assisted in the good temper ance cause at the time old Col. McClure was not favorable to It He then lived with a cluchman, and was fond of a dram. The nuisance was then abated and all was quiet, and the small brave army was dis- bauded, each one going to his home much lelieved. and hoped for the better, which speedily came. The two men were taken over to Clatsop plains, before Judge Smith, and tried, convicted, and sentenced to one month in prison, which confinement con sisted of being tied and guarded. Their business being destroyed, and be ing convinced that the people would, under no circumstance, allow them or other to sell spirits to tbe Indians, they became thoroughly penitent, and agreed if tbe au thorities would releass them they would leave the couutrv at once and remain awav. 8o they were released, and were honorable enough to do as they agreed to, and so ended tbe episode friendly and yleasantly.
