O.vb of the best thioga congress could do would be to wipe the infernal civil service lava off the earth. A few facts in regard to the mag nificent results of the P'ugley bill are to itt opponents like ino business end of a hornet to its to they hurt. Populists are a, kind of perpetual grumbling machine. Now they are grumbling became the Dingley bill will create a surplus in the treasury this year. , With all the ctissinga the populists re giving the Dingley law, we haven't beard any wish expressed to return to that sugar-uoated "party perfidy." Bill Wilson law. , Judge B. P. Boise, too, whose name appears in print as a "free silver rpuo!icau," is a man not unlike Judge Hare, of Washington county re publican as Song as he could get office. Columbia county is safely republi can by nearly 200 votes, provided good men are named on the ticket. Let the next convention meet with the determ ination of bringing forward only the best men. Populism may fuss and fuse and pull feathers, but they cannot produce the least evidence that the country is not 60 per cent better off today than it was under that "petted" Wilson free trade law. The average shipment of wheat in November amounted to a little less than 6,000,000 bueDels per week, as gainst less than 4,000.000 bushels during the corresponding period of last year. Tbbodobk Dcbrant last Friday paid the death penalty for the murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Wil liams. While be was guilty of the crime in the minds of nine-tenths of the people, his guilt was never proven. Columbia connty republicans this year will name the strongest ticket they have ever had, and the result will be glonous victory. All that is necessary for success is the bringing forward of good men, and that will be done. Populists who have been indus trially howling calamity for the past year will be delighted to know that the treasury figures for last month show a surplus. Thus the new protective tariff law is ful611ing the expectations and hopes of the country. "Not enough money in the country to transact the business of the coun try," said the populists. How about those poor wool-growers and wheat- raisers in Eastern OregonT They've got money to throw at the birds. Too bad, too bad for the populists. "Onk of the best country weeklies "ml co ties to our esclunga tuMo is This Okruom iliT, published at bt. tide-is, tins state. Mr. David Davis, us editor, is a rustler and deserves suc cess for his earnest efforts in behalf of the people of Columbia county." Mil ton iitgle. We do not reprint this be cause of any spirit to boast or because it swells our had in the toast, but there is a more philosophical reason for its reproduction. When people in the eastern part of our state are search ing for information iu regard to the resources of our couuty, they seek it from rvliuble sources, and Tub Mist endeavors at all times to print in an unqegiionably reliable manner inform atioo as to the county's resources, and when possible to lay facts before the people, instead of depicting misery, wretchedness, poverty, hard time, and total destitution in our midst, as is the policy of s great many people, who use such argument as a political lever. Facts are facta, and they cannot be successfully contradicted. The Mist has received numerous letters of late containing such encouraging remarks as those quoted above, and unless we acknowledge their receipt in some such manner as this, we would not be doing our friends justice. It goes with out saying that our efforts are appre ciated. - Marcus A. IIanna is the senator from Ol'io. He was elected upon joint ballot of the legislature of that state Wednesday efiernoou. His election was cliwe, being 73 to 72, demonstrat ing the fact that the opposition con centrated every ounce of strength to defeat him, thus lessening the strength of the republican party in the senate to legislate in the interest of the peo pie. Mr. Hanna's ideas are in perfect harmony with those of the administra tion, aud ss a worker in the party he has few equals. Being elected for both the short and long terms, his influence will be felt by our nation for many years. His term of office expires in March, 1905. No one man contributed more to the defeat of Bryaniem aud the silver heresy in the campaign of 1806 than Mark A. Hanna, and though that party was again squarely defeated in Ohio last full by the republican party of Ohio, it did concentrate every effort to defeat Mr. Hauna for the senator ship and thus "even up" in a personal way. and insure a silver senate and the blocking of legislation during the first half of President McKiuley's administration. Fob four years prior to March 4th, 1897, there was a f ull-fleged democratic administration and a Hoke Smith in charge of the pension bureau, but it baa been since that administration re tired that it found fault with the pen sion business. It Was for this reason: Its leaders sought to retain their poei lions, and if they unwarrantedly attack the men who fought to save the nation from disunion, they would stir up a hornet's nest, and thus lose many votes. The very men who, today, are howling so iudustriously against the pensioners are the men who had it in their power to legislate against them, but they bad not the moral courage. They were afraid of them, and well they might be. It is gratifying, indeed, to know that at the end of the present year, from all indications, the receipts of the gov ernment from revenues and other source will far exceed ths expend! lures. The gradual increase in revenue since the innivjuratinn of the preicr.t administration is cause for much gratification. Business activity and increased de- iiisnd and prices for produce of all kinds is the class of information not sought after by the populist press With the exception of one or two pop ulist papers, our exchanges are QUed with the glad tidings of renewed bus iness activity and increased demand for produce and labor. Fkksidknt McKinlky and his party have reiterated their intention to keep every American dollar equivalent to a gold dollar. The ponulial party is sat isfled with a fifty cent dollar, and even appears to be preparing to declare that a piece of paper worlh nothing is ss good as a fifty-cent dollar, and conse quently as good as a hundred-cent dollar. "Thk price of cord wood thissummer will certainly advance because of the scarcity of men to cut it." Cathlamet Gazette. What is the cause of this, could you giieT Perhaps, and it is not at all uulikely, that the Dingley law, with all its good effects, has ere ated so much business in the country, and opened up the field for employ ment everywhere, that men can find more lucrative and dosirable employ ment than cutting uoiuwuod. It is certainly too bad that labor has an opportunity 1 RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES If Multnomah republicans will not settle their differences, the state con vention will probably settle it for them That body could supervise a new pri mary in that county probably to the entire satisfaction of the state, and it is not at all unlikely that Multnomah differences will be settled in this manner. Thb only hope populists have for success in this county is the disrup tion of the republican party and the Domination of weak men on the re publican ticket. Let the republicans name good men, and no swapping be done, and the ticket will be elected by a handsome majority. If the silver sentiment is growing with such rapidity, we would like to know how it happened that republi cans made such enormous gains over populists in states where silver was made the issue in the campaign of last November. Now, don t break your neck trying to answer. The principal trouble with populists is that they had such a protracted fast tinder free trade regime, and when the Dingley bill supplied means where by they could have a feast, they made such hogs of themselves that tbey are now afflicted with a severe attack of colic, and thiuK their aiimsnt some thing else. Politics is warming up all over the state, and Columbia county is not be hind in interest of the same nature. Tub Mist is highly pleased that such is the case, for when everybody is tak ing sn interest it is significant of the fact that the people are determined to pertuate the republican party in powe; and the personal of the next ticket will be of the highest character. It means, simply, the survival of the fittest. iHB Illinois Bteel Company an nounces its orders at this time nearly double those at the beginning of any previous year, and prophesies that the country is entering upon the best btis i:ie a period within ten years. There is probably no more accurate indica tion of the condition of business gen rlly than is shown by the iron industry. Iron and steel enter into practically all branches of business b nkling, manufactures, mining, agri cuhure, rilrouds, and in fact every fcntncti of trade, and an enlarged (' .inland for it surely indicuk-s au in crease iu all branches of business. The figures of the bureau of statistics of tbft treasury department for Novem ber, 1897, show the exports to have been over $82,000,000, an increase of more than 15.000,000 over October, and over $6,000,000 in excess of those of November of 1896. The increase over November, 1895, is $22,000,000, and November, 1894, 24,000,000. The exjiorts for October of the past year fell short a few hundred thousand dollars of October of last year, under the Wilson law, and the populists thought they had an easy thing in proclaiming how the Dingley law was decreasing our exports, but Novem ber's figures have staggered them somewhat. Thk treasury statement for Decem ber shows a great increase in the government's receipts for that month. For one day the increase from cus toms alone was $735,567 the highest figure reached since the new tariff law went into effect. On several dif ferent days in December the receipts exceeded $600,000, and it is estimated that the excess of December over November will be above $2,500,000. Those who have watched the situation closely say this may be kept up for an indefinite period. Total Revenues Collected In Decern tier Nearly Sixty Million Dollars. Washington, Jan. 3. Ths month ly state ment of lbs government receipts and ex penditures for the month of December, shows the total receipt to hare been 159, 656,608. of which U,,7H8 was from cus toms, (14,842,9'iH from internal revenue, and S33.tlt2,980 from miscellaneous sources. The expenditures for ths month aggrs- eated S27.634.Ottt. The receipts and expenditures for De cember include $31 715, 2vH received during the month from sale of ths Union Faciiic railroad ; 1900,000 paid out to secure a bid on the Kho.su Pacific, and $617,860 interest paid on Pacific railroad subsidy bonds not Qua until January. Excluding those items the receipts amount to (27,831.496, and ex penditures to $26,212,663. leaving a surplus tor ths month ot Sl.714,831. As compared with December, 1896. there is shown to have been an increase of nearlv tl.OUO.000 in the receipts from customs, and about $ 1,145,000 increase from Internal rev enue sources.
