The Oregonian, aa usual, while admitting that Mr. Hall is a gold standard man and that he will perform hi duliea well, opposes him on general principles, and particularly because he baa been a supporter of X.111S and Mitchell, whose position on the money question have not always been in accord with that paper. It says, "congress 1 the vital point of tbi controversy, and the only teat of the gold standard l support of men for congress- the aenate and house who are opposed to free coinage of surer. tions; but now, when the appoint ments have been made, in the face of the stubborn, unrelenting opposition of Mr. Corbett and the Oregonian, that sheet admits "that they are men of good persona character, and doubtless will discharge their official duties well." That they would discbarge weir otaeiai duties well aeema to hare been the principal reason for the Ore gonian s opposition to them. Such a course is also in keeping with that papers constant attempts to debauch and corrupt state politics, to assist a few populists to hold no a lerielature and loot the state treasury that a mil The inconsistency and dishonesty of lionaira banker might have an oppor- tbe above, assertion will be readily tunity to purchase a certificate of ap noticed"' by all who remember with pointment to the United States senate, wbat energy the Oregonian advocated to associate itself in a disreputable the election of Quinn for congress at cause along with Hofer, and in many tne last state election, wno was not otner ways to encourage corruption in only a surer man but a populist I puniic attain. A train it say, "no man could be a Houeer, Summers, Moores. Burford practical and sincere supporter of the Caples, Hall and Johnson, all of whom gold standard who wanted Mr. Ellis, were recommended by the delegation Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Hermann returned and appointed by the president, are to oengrees." fi either could a man leading influential and representative M sincerely - lor the gold standard or icilisena in their respective communi be a republican who wanted Mr. Quinn tie ; men whose integrity and ability elected to congress, aa did the Ore gonian. "Mr. Mitchell," it says, "cov red Oregon with 01s speeches in ad vocacy of free coinage." And did not Mr. Quinn, whom the Oregonian wanted elected, do the same thingT Again it belches forth this bit of dem agogy, which it knows to be untrue : "To Mr. Mitchell and to his personal supporter was due the loss of thous ands of republican votes on this ques tion, and the terrible fight and olose result in Oregon." No one knows better than does the editor of the Oregonian that Mr. Mitchell saved this state from Bryants at the last elec tion, for had he pursued the same coarse that Senator Squire did in are not doubted by their fellows, and men who will serve the public in their omcial capacities well. Why should they not be appointed, and why ahould they be opposed by anyone interested in good government? A newspaper, like an individual, whose influence is at all times and under all circum stances exerted for evil, deserves only tne supreme contempt of its readers. It was not expected that the ap pointment made would meet the ap proval of inch populist leader as Hofer and Scott, for men after their own heart were holding these official positions and for the purposes of raiS' ing corruption boodle they desired to nave their satelites retained in office. Washington the state would have gone I Of course the Oregonian will object to populist by several thousand votes. I being classed as a populist, but then No one, not blinded by prejudice, will we have its own word for it when in dispute this fact. ' It was left for the the last" state campaign it declared it personal influence of Mr. Mitchell and was not a republican paper and openly bis persenal friends to counteract the advocated the election of a populist seeds of discord which the Oregonian for congress in the second district, and bad sown for the past several years and be and they did it well. A day or two later in the Oregonian appeared tbi assertion : "The as sumption that there has been an at tempt by the Oregonian and others who insist on open, fair and positive (ye god, listen) support of the gold standard to 'dictate to the delegation' is redieolonsly false. Not the least effort baa been made in that direction by them. Tbeir purpose is to uphold a principle, Oregonian attempting to uphold principle or possessing- a principle to npholdf Was it a principle it upheld when it helped the populists to hold up the legislature? Waa it a principle it upheld when its editor assisted in delivering a senatorial certificate as a result of the people having been held np and robbed last winter? Has it ever upheld a principle when there was a sbance to fleece the state or cast adium upon its representative citizens whenever they declined to do its bid' ding? Indeed, those who have been readers of the Oregonian many years, or even months, will have discovered it lack of principle ere this. later assisted the populists to block the wheels of business in the legisla ture. What better proof is necessary? NOTE AND COMMENT. (Yamhill Reporter.) O. C. Emery has sold the plant of the Newberg Independent, aad the type and press are to be taken to Moro, Sherman county, to ba need in the publication of a Who ever heard ,ol the pendent complete a series of chances that illustrates the transitory nature ot some things nanndan. 4. little mors than a year ago, three populist newspapers were riding the high crest of political revolution. They were greatly in evidence for a brief time. One of them has been sold to a republican editor, another has changed hands aad the original editor gone to Texas, and now the third has decided to quit. Politics and morals remain about status quo, w believe. CliATSKANIB JVOTKS. Did Senator (?) Corbett "join in recommending Houser, Summers and Ha II 7" Ask Harvey about it. Mr. Corbett doesn't appear to be a very big man back at Washington, and that "wonderful influence" of bis is not being felt to any considerable de gree. His purse, however, holds out well, and if the old gentleman's life shall be spared until about the first of January, be will still be financially able to return to the state which he seek to disgrace. It is quite proper that his perfidy should end where it Began. Ths spring campaign is drawing near and the time h at band whsn people should begin to consider the availability of different men for the various positions to bo filled, with a . view always to bringing the very best material into the public service. That "a public office is a private snap" has become too common with politicians generally, and cannot be too severely censured by the people who are clothed with the right of suffrage. The . voters have an inning on election day, and if things are not right the count ing of the ballots will show it, so that for this reason, if for no other, only the very best men should be placed on the ticket seeking the suffrage of the voter. A nomination does not neces sarily mean an election. That day has passed, snd it is just as well, for merit will now be considered more closely in conventions. Ths Mist has no candidate for aoy position, but it is interested in seeing good men selected to fill every public trust and to that end will its efforts be put forth. "It being impossible for the presi dent to understand the details of po litical action in Oregon, be naturally accepted the representations of Sena tor licBriie as correct and acted upon the recommendations accordingly," say the Oregonian. Wbat, pray, lias Mi. Corbett, with all his influence, been doing that he has not advised II.10 president upon political affair in (Heppner Oasette.) The leaders of the calamity party are overjoyed at the slight tali in wheat lately. They are expectantly watching quotations, ia th hop that something will conduce to a farther depreciation of its value, so that they can say, "We told yon so" to th farmers. The fact that aa ounce of silver a year ago was sqnal in vain to a bushel of wheat, but now boys only a half bushel of wheat, ha knocked th wind out of thsir speciou argument. (Willamette Farmer.) Every fair minded Oregon populist ought to resent tb manner in which Kansas pop ulists have been playing it low down on Mr. Bryan. He agreed to. speak at the Wichita fair for half th proceeds. The gate money amounted to 14800. of which the calamity orator received $2400 for as hour' talk on th state of the times. II tarns oat, however, that 12000 additional were taken in for tickets to th grandstand and that 6800 bottles of beer were sold (in that prohibition state), for which ao re turns were made to the star performer. In other words, Mr. Bryan was buncoed out of at least aa much more than tb turn be received. It is a question whether even the remorseless plutocrat would bar don won by him. ' (Albany Herald.) Tb burden of the assertion of th silver orators just a ysar ago was that tb United States did nst have enough money and that nothing bat th free and nnlimited coinage of silver could add to it circulating me dium. Nevertheless the treasury ttatemeat issued oa October 1, 1887, showed that the money in circulation in tb United States is today nearly $100,000,000 mors than a year ago, yet there has been nothing added by way of unlimited coinage of silver dol lar. Th gold has increased during the year from $478,771,490 on October 1, 1890, to 528,098,753 on October 1, 1897, aa increase of over $50,000,000. Indeed, there has been aa Increase la almost every class of circulat ing medium. What Or. A. E. Salter Say. BurrALO, N. Y.
