Jjt Connecticut 17U.UUU women are qualified to vol at school elections, but only 868? cast their ballots this spring. The 167,313 wbo neglected to vote are probably discouraged about machine politic. boot 113,500,000 gold baa been ex ported since the outflow begaa four weeka ago. Nobody, though, except few popoeratio leaders who pretend to despise gold, and wbo ought, therefore, to be glad to aee it go Qui, is alarmed The equanimity of the people, in fact, ia very significant, Seasonable per sons aee that the country haa more gold on hand than it had in previous yeara for a long time, and they know that the present shipments can do no .barm.'' Tax heavy merchandice imports at the present time mean correspondingly light imports a few months hence. This will, st the outset, keep the rey nues nndar the new tariff low, but wm, at tbe same time, make a very large merchandise balance in the coun try' favor. As a consequence, while the government's receipts will be com paratively email for a while, the gold inflow will be large. The gold which goes) oat these dsys will not be gone long. ' ' ' M XX ico sticks to the silver standard for several reasonsshe produces much silver and no gold, and her busi nets and the habits of her people are adjusted to the silver idea. But Mex ieo suffers from the general derange ment in the silver market, and she may within a very few yea is follow Snssia, Japan Remand tbe other silver standard nations which have recently eome over to the gold side. Anyhow, tbe Bryanitea will be lonesome ff they raise tbe silver banner in 1900. There is a wheat shortage reported from France. It is officially stated that the crop of 1897 in France will be fully 0,000,000 bushels leas than that of 1896. It ia an ill wind that blowa no OB good. Tbe Oregon farmer will cheerfully contribute toward supply ing this shortage in France and in all other sections where the crop is light. This year oar farmers will have many bushels of wheat to help feed tbe hun gry of Europe, and owing to tbe mis fortunes of those across tbe water, it will command at leaat a fair price. Tmb assertions of tbe silver orators of last campaign read curiously now, tays the Salem Statesman. For in stance, that one in which they in sisted that farm products and silver kept pace in rise and fall is especially amusing in view of the fact that farm products have steadily risen in value in the part eight months while silver has gone in the other direction. Silver has in the last few weeks reached the lowest point in its history, while wheat in that same time haa reached a sell' ing price double that which existed at the very time that these arguments were being most vigorously presented. A BYStxmatio attempt haa been made te rob the Portland postoffice by employes, with the assistance of a de tective. Tbe case hss been occupying tbe public's attention for several days and numerous witaeeses have testified before the United States commissioner. If it is true that the conspiracy charged actually existed, it was cer tainly a bold attempt, the like of which has not before been witnessed in Oregon, and no effort should be spared to bring the conspirators to justice. The plot was outrageous in tbe extreme, and the more so when participated in by employes of long service in the department. It is said that tbe Grand Army is dying at the rate of 100 a day, says the St. Louis Olobe Democrat. Every fifteen minutes of the twenty-four hours final taps sound for some one who wore the blue. Each year pots under the sod more old soldiers than there are enlisted men and officers in the entire United Statea army. The war lasted four years to a month. On tbe nnion side there were 289,730 en listed mon died from all causes, of which 115,000 perished on the field of battle, and now between 35,000 and 45,000 die in the course of nature each succeeding twelve months. And for every three union veterans who go to fame's eternal camping grounds two confederates are numbered among the detd. Tux gold production continues to increase both in the regions where mines were in operation list year and through the development of new gold fields. Mr. Otis 8. Gage, formerly of Washington, D. 0., wbo haa spent the past two yeara in Eouador, reports the gold fields o( that country "surpass ing in richness and extent the famous mines of 8nuth America." Reports from Mexico represent that new and very rich gold fields are being devel oped there; advices from Texas indi cate that gold mines are being devel oped in the Wichita mountains, while the new processes which are now be ing follow4 in the wines of Georgia and North Carolina are making gold mining in ; that section extremely profitable. Present indications are that the gold production of 1897 will exceed that of 1896, which was the largest in any year tit the history of the world. Whik C. P. Huntington was in Portland the other day be profered some good suggestions in the follow ing language in addressing an Ore gonian reporter; "What you should work for in Oregon is to get more people into the state. You have too much good laud lying idle that should be occupied and worked by settlers. Your cities should start more manu fapturing interests, small interests that will develop by steady work into large concerns. There are too many people who imagine they must commence manufacturing interests with large concerns and large capitals. These generally fail for lack of experience. it ia tbe small coucernea that grow from year to year that build up a com mercial city. Newark is the workshop of New York today, but it was started by individual small concerns that grew to prominence by experience and hard work," Ths importations in April were the largest recorded in the recent com menial history of tbe United Statea loey amounted to iUl,3UoJ3l or nearly double those of April, 1896. This is a natural consequence in an ticipation of increased import duties, and the sooner the Dingley bill be comes a law the sooner will business revive in the United Stales, for in stead of these imports coming from abroad the goods will be manufactured at home by our own workmen. From November, 1892, until the Wilson law went into effect the warehouses in nearly all the pons of eutry in the United States were filled with goods of foreign manufacture waiting for the new tariff law to go into effect, that these goods might be exempt from a protective duty. An effort is now be ing made to flood the country with foreign goods in anticipation of the higher duty that will be levied in case the Dingley bill becomes a law. In tbe name of patriotism why not man ufacture these goods for our borne peo pie by home labor and thereby pre serve the independence of a free peo pie against pan pern abroad? Memorial Observance.

Lockwood a party to the suit I CON QBBp ATION Ah 00911011. With a view to placing the natter et building a CongragtUonal church lu St Helens properly before the people, that all may know what w (all people interested In the church and the building up of the tov.il) would like to do and Just what has been done, and that each end every on may realise tnnr fully bow much is re quired e( Iheiu In labor or cash, I, being elected by the society for that purpose, have decided thut our town papers could assist m materially in the execution of my duty. Ths people should know lust what they are contributing towards, the nature of the proposition, and whether it Is to be cheap and temporary or substantial and permanent. They should have an ides of the probable coat, etc, that they may b enabled t arrive more definitely as to what extent it would be the duty of each to help. The proposition has met with no op position. Very few hate felt unable te help some, and w trust that most all of the people of 8t. Helens will do more when they see the neoessity of doing so. The Plymouth Congregational Church of St. Helens is an inoorpo-ated body. We own a splendid lot, beautifully located In the town of St. Helens. Four-fifths of the price of this lot was a donation; the re mainder we paid in cash. Also the legal work of incorporating, amounting to i0. and filing fees tor same, amounting to 3 wss a donation. We are now trying to obtain fuads for the purpose of erecting a church building. We have waited upon all the people In Bt. Helen whom we expected to help most, but we bare in view a few other whom we feet sure will give their mite when called upon. So far there haa been promised by parties living ia St Helens, and othere In business here, U5 In cash and S40 la labor ; a total of f 135. Three individuals givs 1 10 of this amount Front others ia promised $43, and from other sources w have f 18, making a total of 1246 in sight for tbe build ing fund. Now it is onr Intention to put up a build ing costing not leas than $700, and although we shall refrain from tbe least shadow of extravagance, we wonld like to do better than this. W hope to get $300 from the Congregational Chorch Building Society. This, with th 2t6 in light, would make a total of to48. Bat in order to get 1300 from the building society w must secure st least S400 from other source. According to these figures w must snbacrlb $154 more towards this building fund. And since we are going to put npa building that ws may be proud of, and that will be a credit to the town, let ns spend $90 more for good seat and lamps, eo we may be comfortable and havs plenty of light. This would bring the amount left for us to sub scribe up to $244. I am proud of our success so far. A said above, we have not waited upon all the people yet, but we feel sure it would be asking too much of those wbo have not yet been called upon to subscribe all the re maining $344, as they are fewer la number and lees able than those who have sub scribed tbe $228. I believe that most of these who bave been approached on tbe proposition woald hare been willing to subscribe considerable more had they kaown It was necessary, and that they were helping to make a substantial and neat public improvement that was aot for any one person or class of people, but for everybody; an Improvement which would be an ornament as well as a decided benefit to the town; a work that would be looked upon with admiration by all. A committee has been appointed to select plans for the church aad 1 will try to have them on exhibition as soon a thsy are drawn up. Tbe thought which I wish to Impress on yeur minds is that I am aot writing for amusement, but for monsy and labor to carry out a business proposition that w are all interested in. It is a matter of greater importance to most every other person living In St, Helens than it is to me, since I own no property here, or even in the state; neither bave I a family of chil dren to be benefitted by It My home and property interests are elsewhere and I do aot look te tbe patronage of the people here for support. I am grinding a public axe which i for tbe use and benefit at all. While I am here I propose to work band in band with the people, helping each other, and building up tbe town. It is aot my in tention, however, to do all tbe talking and let others pat up the cub and do the work, but my money and my labor shall do tbe greater part of my talking, and if many others do more of that kind of talking tbsn I we will soon bave a Congregational church in Bt Helen that will be comfortable, ornamental, and large enough for all.
