Columbia county psopls intending
to go to Alaska might read and oon
sidar Ibe uontsnt of Jus Ostby't let
ter printad last week. Information
from each a source oan but reoeiv du
consideration, and perhaps thoae who
faeed the warning will be greatly bit
ter off in the future. There are toe
many people interested in luring oth
er in that direction, aod If r. Ostby
undoubtedly founds tbe warning with
but the kindliest feeling for those with
vhom he had associated.
Mr. Dinolky is more than vindi
cated by the early appearance of a
surplus in the monthly revenues, as
well a by the constant gain month by
month and by the good work bis tariff
has done in reviving industry, confi
dence in the new tariff as a dtficil de
stroyer will be strengthened by this
month's showing. Tbe four years's
continued defioit produced by the Wil
son act footed np 0.(53,000,000. The
only question now is not whether the
Dingley tariff will pay tbe running ex
penses of the government, but whether
it will be able in four years to produce
a surplus as big a the Wilson bill's
deficit and pay ofi tbe bonds issued
daring tbe Cleveland administration.
To the past ten years as regularly
as every two years rolled around the
hue and cry has bera raised : "There's
a ring in the republican party thwart
ing the will of the people." Two years
ago, however, it was claimed that the
ring was effectually busted. But mark
the result I How about the democralie
f ree-silver "ring" that is today domin
ating affairs in this eountyt One has
but to keep his eyes open to become
thoroughly convinced that the so-called
"anion" move is in tbe hands of three
or four men who are nsing the lash of
their party whips to bring into line all
elements that it is possible for them to
control. And this tbey do under toe
ry of "reform 1" It is the greatest
piece of fol-de-rol buncombe that has
ver been attempted upon an unsus
pecting publio, and one calculated to
deceive the average voter in an nn
guauted moment. We ask no man to
take Transcript's word for this, but
imply call attention to the fact, and
ask every voter to be on tbe alert and
see if what we have aaid is not true :
if the so-called "union" of this county
is not domineered by as much of a
"ring" ae ever existed under any party
4n this county or a little more so.
JdcMinnviIIe Transcript.
Txll ns, pray, why tbe populist press
of the country does not chronicle facts
bout the welfare of tbe country, and
h honest ia their assertions as regards
the public good? Is there politics in
their silence T .Not Such news is not
to their liking. It is not looking for
information of that character. It at
tention is turned in another direction.
Is there politic in their silencet Yes;
and dishonesty of purpose. It avoids
the acknowledgement of these trnths
nd hopes to continue to mislead the
public by statements which do not
contain an element of truth. There
are many excellent news articles lost
to tbe publio because of the dishonesty
of purpose of that element. It would
not chronicle a news article alike
the one in regard to the lumber and
ahingle situation appearing in the last
issue of this paper. In that article
mention ia made of a little business re
vival over in Washington wherein
8000 men are put to work at wages
averaging 2 per day, aggregating
bout (416,000 per month from one
source. Is there politics in tbe silence T
The facts in the case are it is all poli
tics. If it were not mention would be
made of the great business revival that
is sweeping over the country, scatter
ing populism in hopeless contusion.
Afore facta in tbe case are that the ad
vent of advanced wages and the in
creased demand for products which
require many bands, to produce, have
knocked the wind out of the spanker
beet of the populist ship, and tbe
canvass hangs limpsy hoping for the
silver breeze to fan it taut, lhe un
derpinning is gone. Tbe silver gale
has spent its force. Tbe phenominal
advance ia tbe price of sheep, of wool,
of hops, of lumber, of shingles, of
wheat cord wood, of sawlogs, of beef
cattle; of the wonderful revival of each
branch of industry that helps us lo
cally, has dealt the death blow to pop
nlistio fanaticisms. It is gasping for
tbe last breath, for the handwriting is
embossed upon the wall.
Ir is question carrying with it
some speculation aa to what issue or
issues the populist party of Oregon is
going before the people of the state
with in the next campaign. Accord
ing to Dr. Embrie, of Folic county, a
leading populist, the free-silver fad is
dead. This is tbe only thing left, bow
ever, for tbat party to cling to. Their
"cheap" wheat and "cheap" every
. other staple product cry is no longer
' an argument to present to the people.
Tbe voters of Oregon are too well con
vinced now to listen to sucb statements.
On every bandore to be seem argu
ments against their fads and isms.
There is not a thing left to do but to
rsturn to their "referendum," which
was lost sight of so completely In their
frantic efforts to win on tbe free-silver
fanaticism. Local conditions are
ugiiinet them. Price and conditions
are so changed that no hope remains
for ttiera from that quarter. Tbe same
is said of the entire state. There
U not cm convincing argument left
for them. Conditions are so wonder
fully changed from eighteen months
ago that the honest voter will consider
well his action before casting his bal
lot with them again. Every condition
baa resulted auaulutely reverse to the
populitt prediction) and in such, peo
ple have lost failb. That their strength
ia weakening there is not a qnestion.
There is not.one thing for them to
bae an argument upon. The stroke
that has the paralyno effect, has been
received in the f.tct that the country
is forging ahead in a business sense at
such a rapid rate as to render all ad
verse argument unconvincing. I heir
battle cry will certainly b "We want
the offices; they, at least, are desirable."
WAR WITH SPAIN.
While speculation is rife s to prob
able war with Spain, we believe the
matter may not be considered with
any great degree of seriousness. Of
course, we will admit that relations
between the two nations are la a
strained condition, but greater pressure
will have to be brought to bear before
America will advance the aggressive
foot. Seriously speaking, for the first
instance, Spain is quite unable, in a
financial sense, to declare war on
America. That nation is now almost
pon the verge of bankruptcy, and
tlie insurrection in Cuba is proving
quite all Spaiu can handle, in other
wavs as well as in a financial way.
Again, Spain is not seeking distur
bance of that kind with America from
the fact that there is as yet no provo
cation. In reality, tne provocation, u
any, lies with America, aod if that
action were resorted to by this govern
ment it would be foolhardy in the ex
treme. The wrecking of tbe Maine
has given rise to no legitimate provo
cation for a declaration of war until
such time as the investigation develops
facts sufficient to found the belief that
treachery was resorted to, and not then
until Spain has refused to mane repar
ation in a financial way. Should cir
cumstances so develop that America
would be compelled to demand of
Spain an indemnity sufficient to cover
loss of life aod properly and Spain re
fuse to comply, then ought America
properly take steps to lorce tbe lormer
into submission.
The fact of the Spanish fourth-class
armored cruiser being in . Mow York
harbor carries no importance with it
ia this connection, bpain too well
realizes her inability to cope with
America in a naval contest. Her navy
is far inferior to that of this country.
The presence of the Vizcaya in the
harbor of Mew York created some
speculation ; and while, perhaps, that
vessel was ordered there, we have no
means of restricting such action under
nresent conditions.
Spain as fully realizes her naval in
feriority to America as do all otner
nations, and certainly that manner of
warfare would be the only kind that
nation could hope to carry on success
fully at all. In comparing the navies
of the two countries it is seen that
Spain has but one first-class battleship,
as compared with nine of America's.
Spain baa twe second class, same grade
aa was the Maine, compared with one
of America's, tbe Texas, the Maine be
ing her sister ship. Spain has no sea.
going coast dele nse ironclads, while
this nation has six. America has
thirteen non-seagoing coast-defense
ironclads, while Spain has two. In
the line of armored cruisers, Spain has
seven, while America possesses but two
of this class, and m the line of armored
rams, America far outnumbers Spain
and quality is not to be compared. Ot
this class America has twenty-seven
steel and two wood, while Spain has
five steel, eight iron, and three wood.
It is plainly to be seen that Spain's
naval strength is not sufficient to war
rant her taking any serious step against
this nation, and she will not, unless
those in charge of her affairs lose their
heads and rush frantically at a foe
which tbey have no, hope of conquer-
ing. . ; '
It is with apparent delight that
certain patriotic so called Americans
point to the deficit of 115,000,000 for
the first half of the fiscal year as due
to the Dingley law. It is found by
reference, however, to the treasury re
ceipts that during tbe lust four months
of the operations of the Wilson law
nearly 140,000,000 in excess of the
normal receipts was poured into the
treasury, owing to excessive importa
tions to escape the increased duties of
the Dingley law. This $40,000,000
would otherwise have come in nnder
the new law, and there would have
been little if any dehcit. Tbe Dingley
law is, however, getting rapidly on its
feet, and it friends are satisfied to
smile at these populistic screams,
knowing full well that tbey cannot en
dure long.- r

DXPARTMFWT Of PcBMO IltSTRPCTIOlT.
Balxm, Ob., February 15, 189ft.
Heretofore there bas been a difference of
opinion upon the very important question
"Who are legal voters ia a school district?'
This question has been agitating tb minds
of the people in the past, and said agitation
has grown more intense.
This office desires to call special atten
tion of all parties concerned. County super
intendents and boards of directors of tbs
school districts throaghout the state, to the
strict statement of tbe Utter of tbe law.
Section 43, school law edition, states: .
"First Any citizen of this state shall be
entitled to vote at a scuooi meeting woo is
twenty-one years of age, and bas resided in
the district thirty daya immediately pro
ceeding the meeting, and who has property
in the district npoa which he or sbe pays a
tax, or has children of school see to edu
cate, but this section shall not be applica
ble to districts with a population of one
thousand and onwards.''
"Second In all school districts in this
state with a papulation of one thousand aad
upwards, any citizen of this state shall be
entitled to vote at a school meeting who is
twenty-one years oi age, and na resided In
tbe district thirty days immediately pro
ceeding the meeting, and who has nrooartv
in tbs district upon which he or sbe pavs a
tax.''
The matter of women voting has, daring
tne last year, been going through tbe couris
aad reached a decision in the supreme
court in the form of an opinion of the fnll
court, banded down by Wolverton, J., Feb
ruary 14, 1898, in the case of Laura A. Har
ris vs. Sherwood Burr, et. al. of the school
district oi tns city of Eugene, Lan county,
Oregon.
fcaid Laura A. Harris offered to vote at
a school meeting held in Eugene. March
1807. and said vote was refused, wherennon
said Laura A. Harris began action against
said judges of election. Tbe circuit court
of Lane county sustained tbe right of tax
paying women to vote, and the case was
appealed to the supreme conrt, whicb conrt
ailirmed the decision of tbe conrt below.
It is therefore established tbat in all school
districts, women who have property In their I
own name, ux which they personally pa?
tax, are over twenty-one year of age, and
have resided In tlie district thirty day Im
mediately preueedttiK said meeting, are en
titled to vote.
As the law In thecaseof districts nsvtnra
population ot over one thousand inhabitants
provides mai Having taxauie nroiieity aim
intc tax thereon la a condition oi me
riKht to vote, it la evident mat no one can
vote In said district who doesnotown prop
erty and pays tax thereon aa provided by
law.
In retard to school district wlih a popu
lation of less than one thousand, the law
provides other conditions of the right to
vote.
All who can vote In district of a popula
tion of over one thousand can Vote In all
other distvlft.", hut H ia lso provided that
in the leaser district persona who are par
ents of children of school aire, even though
they have no taxable property, can vote,
t'lils. according to the omniou given bv tbe
attnmey-geueial, applies to both father and
niotner.
For the proper and lr-gal transaction of
business of school districts, and especially
in the matter of school elections, tuisciien
lar letter should be studied and kept on file
ia the school clerk's office for the Informa
tion of school boards.
Let one other thine1 be born in mind, that
the school laws are Just ae mandatory aa
are other laws on our statute book, and
they should be most carefully obseived.
County superintendents should take spec
ial pains to inform school boards in regard
to their duties under the inw.
State Sup't Public Instruction.
Polk County Populists Have a Time.
The Polk county populists wet In county
convention in the county court room in
Dallas on the 9th of tbe month for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for the var
ious county offices.
Tbe silver fusion ists went into the con
vention with a "stuffed" delegation, and.
much to the annoyance of the middle-of-
the-road populists, sought to control the
convention. If there is anything that makes
a genuine pop uiad it is to try to force free
silver doctriue riuwa him, and this attempt
of the tusionists in this instance was not
different than on former occasions.
It ia evident bv tbe remarks of lhe chair
man of the convention, Sr. .Embrie, that
free silver is as dead to a populist as it is
to anyone else that is not trying to ride into
ottk-e on this pretext, in ecniressing tm
convention he said: "Free-silver is dead
so dead that the vonngest child will be rot
ten in his grave before the coinage of free
silver will be obtained."
It seems that the middleKii-the-road men
agreed with tbeir chairman, for when tbe
slutted ' delegation undurteok to force
free-silver onto them it precipitated a row
that mads it necessary to call on Sheriff
P u miner and hut deDuties to auell. The
sheriff was nnder the necessity of locking
up his office and going to the rescue. 'Ibis,
ot course, settled matters in a wav tbat lhe
sheriff of folk county does business, snd
tbe demo-free-silveri-fusio-Brvanocala with
drew from their convention and held one of
their own.
The niiddle-of-the-roaders then proceeded
to nominate a mil uctei.

Tuesday morning, near tbe residence of
