Mr. Tki.lkk's desire to '.'Jo something for silver" is greatly handicapped by the fact that his colleague, Wolcott, is working with 'the committee that is preparing a gold standard bill for intro duction in the senate. Tin president's message to "congress shows careful preparation and a strong determination to take agressive action in the Philippine matter and the cur rency question. The gold- standard will 'undoubtedly be enacted into law by this congress. Thi Fifty-Sixth congress of the United States convened on Monday, and the indications are that a great deal of val uable work will be donei There is greater responsibility resting on this congress than any since the rebellion, all of which will be met fearlessly and efficiently. In the senate there is a re publican majority of sixteen and in the house there are eighteen majority, which insures good, sound legislation. much loss cost than the seven miles of into oblivion.

Heorge mty the next more than fiO.OOO, and all completed and paid for In a period of live or six years. From the Multnomah county line to Clatskauie, thence to Mist, and up the Nehalem river to the Washing ton county line, and from St. Helens to Pittsburg, would miiko one continuous thoroughfare which could lie traveled with some degree of satisfaction.. Aocikaldo has been advised to sur render and treat for mercy at the hands of this government. Aggie is consid erably tardy in determining such a course, although it is a display of wis dom on his part.. His junta in this country will not take kindly to such a course, but they are hopeless and help less, having exhausted all their powers to influence the little rebel to longer hang on. It's a pretty time now to talk surrender and appeal for mercy. Tbk democratic party in the house has placed itself on record as favoring the seating of Polygaraist Roberts, from Utah. Out of all the republican mem bers of the lower house of the United States congress, but one of them Loud, of California voted against the Tayler resolution to investigate the polygamist. Tliere were thirty votes against the resolution, twenty-eight of them being cast by democrats. Of course Roberts is a free-silver anti-expansionist and his vote was needed iu order to "do something" for silver. Agl'inaldo is the slipperiest person- age whom the United States has had to deal with since Sitting Bull, but the Indian was brought to terms at last, and so will the Tagal. The chances for him to retreat much farther or to dodge the American troops much longer arc exceedingly faint, lie is cornered by men who hare had considerable experi ence in dealing with elusive foes, and if be gets away from them at the present moment he will be hunted just as re morselessly next week and the week after and the week after until heiscsught or killed. There is no escape for the rebel chieftain except in surrender. The fact that he does not give himself up is a pretty strong indication that he lacks the sense which Atkinson, Bryan, Lentz , and the rest of the American Tagals Bay he has. AauiNAi.Do is pretty hard pressed these days. He may elude the troops a few weeks longer. Possibly he may escape from the island altogether, and go to Asia or Europe. The end in any case, however, will be the same. Most of his array will be captured, and the rest of it will be so thoroughly dis persed that it will never get together again. We presume the governmental Washington would not make any es pecial efforts to head Aguinaldo off if he were trying to escape to the out side world. The prime object is the capture of his army, and this cannot be delayed much longer. It is pretty clear in any event, that the Tagal rebellion is on its last legs, despite the aid it got and expected still to get from the great party whose victory in the recent elec tions all the Filipino rebels prayed for. Ex-Prikidrst Cluvkland has joined tho ranks of the expansionist. It will soon le hard to point out any man iu the democracy sticking to the contrac tion 1st side who has had any standing in the party except the few w reckers who belong to the liryanito contingent. "Anti-imperialism" promises, by the time the next election takes place, to be as dead as that other democratic issue of slavery, gome democrats saw the drift against slavery before It attained for midable proportions, and left their party. There were many Bourbons like Bryan, however, among the democrats of half a century ago, who clung to slavery to the end, and wmt down iu the general wreck which overwhelmed that institution. The flag-furlirs will be beaten as badly as were tho sjav eryites, and fewer tears will be shed, for them than were dropped for their pro geuitors. ALIi OYEK THE STATE. Items of Jotercst to Our Header Found In Our tjtchanges. A Missouri editor who stands very close to liryan lias announced the e braka politeian's plutform in a very trite and truthful manner. Here it is: "VVe'uns are out and you'uus are in; therefore what yon'uns are tor we'uns are agin ; resolved that you'uus must get out and let we'uns in." There's Bryanism in a. nutshell, and Bryau's Quibbling and obuctiro state ments regarding his position on the 1'hiM ippiue question prove mat tne juisaouri editor "U onto Bryaa with both feet." The anuual report of Binarer Herman, commissioner of the general land olhce, shows that in Oregon the total amount of land disposed of by the land office was 5-10,4 acres, which brought fl48 390. The sales in the Roseburg district, wbicu includes Benton county, were much larger thau of any other district in the state, wMeh seems to prove .that there is a possibility tf there being a greater attraction there for new-comers than elsewhere. The total sales of this district amount to $15,831), representing 15ti,8'J5 acres, of which $7,409, embraced in cash entries. The present outlook indi cates that there will be a much larger transfer of real estate in this district during the coming year than there has been in the past. A person named Plummer, of Polk county, is out in an assault on Governor (jeer. Plummer savs that in the state campaign he paid Mr. (jeer $1000 that Mr. liecr, if elected governor, was to appoint him superintendent of the peni tentiary; that when, after election, Governor Geer failed to make the ap pointment as agreed, the $1000 was re turned to Plummer together with an additional $1000, ns " hush money. Plummer claim to have Governor Geer's receipt for the $1000, and the Salem SeiHiucl makes much ado about the matter. The story has all the ear marks of an untruth. A man who shamelessly boasts that he bought thesujierintendeiicy of the penitentiary for $1000, has little respect tor his own name and fame. Men coarse enough to besmear their own reputation in an an attempt to asperse the charac ter of another, have iio conception of trutb, honesty or kindred traits of char acter. Since Plumme makes a brazen con fession that he ollered money, and not merit, for a public office, the fair minded man w ill at once guess that his word is not reliable. Still another feature condemns the story. Even though he be a governor, Mr. Geer is not a born fool. Had he dealt with Plummer as alleged, he would have known enough not to have given aJjuyer of public offices a written j receipt for funds received. Only silly old women whom the fool killer fails to find, are foolish enough todo that sort of .business, and the 'statement that a man as intelligent and keen witled as Gov ernor Geer figured in any such a piece of lunacy, is, in the very nature of things, not only unlikely, but unworthy of respect. "Do I know United States Land Com missioner Binger Herman?" exclaimed I). Diller, councilman from the fourth ward in Tacoioa. "Well I should say that I did !" And Oilier wiped the per spiration from his brow. "When I was a young man, and that was a great many "years ago," said Mr. Oilier, "Herman and 1 steamboated together on the Columbia river. For a time Herman was steward .and I was cook, later the order was reversed. Later we went to law school to gether. One day Herman took me out in the wools. "Diller," said he, "there is something that I have wanted to tell you for some time." "Go ahead," I replied. "Well." said he. "I don't want you to take any offence, but if you should ; study law ten thousand years you would J never muae a lawyer, lou are wasting your tune, and you had better gel lilo something else." "That night I thought the matter all over. 1 had "tinned hard harder than most of the students but I was not tit ted for a lawyer, and although 1 had not seen it before, when it was pointed out to me by a Jriend 1 realized the tact. 1 time ho falls in lovo it won't be with a monoxide retort. All of which goes to show that gas is as good for lovo as it is for suicide. Now we are grilling lVwey. A few who helped to house him, more who did not, are tearing up jack because Dewey deeded something that was his to some body who is his. Nobody blames tho papers for making a public mountain out of a private molehill. They "are here for that purpose." Rut hundreds of Us are tearing our hair and calling on the Gods of our fathers to take notice. Our advice to George is, freeze onto that which Is freonable. Our advice to Mil dred is to freeze onto George as long as he freexes onto anything else. The only strange feature of this capo i the utter absence of nervous prostra tion. Koran American todo Anything or have anything done to him or her with out responding with a tit of nervous prostration, is, to say the least, unpa triotic. The first luxury an American, suddenly grown rich, "indulges in is nervous prostration. Upon ll.o w hole, it is certain that this vulgar and imper tinent clamor represents nothing but a spirit of yellow journalism reflected in people who have nothing else to discuss. Aguinaldo has broken all records as n sprinter and at his present rapid gait will soon reach tho end of his journey. He is racing through tho brush and over the hills, hitting only tho high places, with a gang of American "imperialists" hot on his trail. Ha is hatless. coatless, and his shins 8ro all scratched up from running through the underbrush. He has quit estahlishing "capitals" as he flies through the woods with a tvpe writer, looking for a place to stop long enough to work off a proclamation. The bloodthirsty Americans have cap tured his "government" and seven bar rels full of his wife's clothes, besides his mother and his four-year-old son of a gun. If George Washington the First should catch a glimpse of the Filipino foot-racer ho would scarcely recognise him as his prototype; and .even the "aunties" must admit that the resem blance is not at all striking!

"The expense of hauling and laying this lumber, including preparing the load bed, building trestles and bridges, has been $1,758.24, paid out as follows; During May $184 35 During Juiie 273 72 During Julv. 108 85 During August 874 80 During September 300 84 During October 326 68 Total.... $1,753 21 "In this amount is included the cost of dealing and opening the new road around Green hill, a distance of 24 miles. This portion of the road was heavily timbered and required more than an ordinary amount of hard labor. Three-quarters of a mile of It was through a swamp covered w ith a douse mass of undergrowth, and had to be trestled the whole distance. In all, over a mile of trestle was built, besides nine bridges, ranging from 100 feet to 300 feet in length. "The total cost of manufacturing the plank and laying it on the road was $3.i0 per-ihousand feet, or about $1.40 a rod. This includes the work of clearing the new roitd, hut does not include the bill for provisions. The latter expense' is difficult to determine on account of the items being mixed with other ac counts, hut it is estimated at about $6 a dav, which would amount to between $500 and $600. "Bills passed upon at the November term of court include gravel work as follows: i)10 yards of gravel.. $ 45 25 Fow'der 20 00 Hauling 620 86 Total ...$0l 11 "This graveling was done under favor able circumstances, and about as cheaply and well as it can be done in this county, and the above figures will furnish a fair comparison of the cost. The judge received as nia compensa tion for services at the mill during the past seven months $-25. "These figures are all matters of rec ord in the county clerk's office, and can be seen by anyone who is sufficiently in terested to investigate, while the plank is laid on the county road and shows for itself as to quantity, quality and utility.

"nfc rofa ' County Judoe Sappinotoh, of Tilla inook county, has demonstrated that one county in Northwestern Oregon can build plank roads. His report on the progress made during the last year in an effort to get out of the mire, demon strates that planked roads can be built j and at not such great expense. About seven miles of planked road has been constructed by Judge Sappington at a total coet not exceeding $5000, and a great deal of the work done was build ing numerous bridges, which greatly increased the cost of construction over that of the ordinary. If Tillamook never gets another rod of planked road the people will have the satisfaction of trav have been, as you know, at least fairly successful." filr. Diller is one of the best known and shrewtlest business men in that city. and there is no doubt that be owes con siderable to the hint given him by lion. Binger Herman. Miss Mabel Gilford loved Mr. George Hand. Out of his presence she was as sad and pensive as a bull frog ; when with him her heart flopped about tier anatomy like a jib sheet in the winds eye. In her dreams George fitted back forth like a visionary catoiru. George, on his side, was just as hard hit. At thought of Mabel his heart iiounded his larboard ribs like a row licking her way through a board shanty. In her absence he was as disconsolate as aeick mule. At their last meeting their heartstrings were as taut as weather back stays. Every word seemed to twang discord ; each breath caused the bow-string of their fancy to vibrate like loose ciapunani on a winuy nignt. 1200 00 nm mi a tit Tin ?, Dl.-MAnLfiO HOTEL Front & Morrison 1 BANQUE"H & None but the best in liotli & m Imported and Domestic K 't) wines, liquors and cigars.
