OREGON' OITV, MARCH 1!), 1897.
Since his descent into tho cesspool of
politics Kev. Dr. Driver is credited
with having a "hull voice."
Ti.mk shall hi ion know who rules the
roost at Washington, President Mo
Kinley or Manager Senator Iliinna.

It used to he accepted asan undoubted
fact among mining men that only quarts!
rock carried gold. Two years ago gold
was found in Utah in a sundstoiiu for
mation j now it is taken from the lime
stono of the Pluck hills.
Asihikw Carnegie evidently knows a
thing or two liesides charging our gov
ernment twice as much for Hurvcyizcd
steel plates as he does the Russian gov
ernment. In an uddrrss the small great
man delivered at JoluiNtown, Pa., he
said: "When labor is not fully cm
ployed and can lie obtained for the
lowest wages, when there is little de
inanil for his products, then theumployer
never can he proHpcrous. In most canes
he must not only make profits, but he
must see his capital impaired mouth

perous only after it conies."
ets, and possibly a U. S. senator. An
intelligent committee mudo up of dem
ocrats, populists and silver republicans
could, without great difficulty, agree
upon a plan of union on a state and
congressional ticket, and district and
county tickets could he satisfactorily
arranged. By such a union we could
sweep the state and do something, and
wo cannot accomplish anything with
out it."
LOCAL SUMMARY.
Iiib trusts' lobbyist are besieging
congress lor special fovors in the Dingley
tariff bill. The wool trust anticipates
making some millions net profits from
the enormous quuniity of wool it has
imported. The people pay the freight.
SKcumuy Sherman is not following
Olney's unpatriotic, anti-Cuban policy.
He will not permit American citizens to
rot or be murdered in Spanish dungeons.
The antipathy of the late administration
against tiie Cuban patriots was a stench
in the nostrils of the American people.
.bill deals tenderly
trust is given a duty of K ol a cent oTi
refined sugar, aggregating $5,000,000
annually, and manufactures of iron and
steel are so highly protected that, though
we export millions of these products
annually, the Oamegies and the Rocke
fellers will lie absolute master of the
home market. McKinley is losing no
time in making his administration
unpopular with tho masses.

to enable cities and townsh

issue of county bondsin small denomina.

any county glmll never exceed i per cent

Onk of tho worst places to go to, even
if distance does loud enchantment to
tho view, is Itossland. A private letter
recently received from there by a person
in the upper part of the valley states
that the country is boomed to death ami
men f all trades and professions are
idle. A house of 20 rooms will rent at
20 ' per month, and others in proportion
according to size. City lots sell at from
$1000 to $0000 ; board and lodging is
from $7 to $10 per week. The average
laborer will got $2 per day, while pro
fessional men receive from $3 to $4 per
day when they are lucky enough to find
employment. Titer j are now 1000 idle
men in Rossi a ml and those who com
mand means sufficient, are leaving.
Freight from Portland there is $j0 per
ton and there is a 35 per cent duty.
Snow four feet deep at Rossland. What
it needs is what nearly every other place
requires men with capital who will
invest it.
No party has control in the U. S
senate, and although the republicans
predominate in degree they are short
oi a majority, even after counting the
iree silver senators, like Walcott, Hans
brough and Carter, who are true to the
party, while differing with it on the
moKt iniportantpolitieal issuoof the day.
And lnisides it is a question whether tho
two senators appointed from Kentucky
and Oregon wiil bo' seated. As the
senate now stands the republicans lack
two of a majority. Tho senate stands: I

question, the tariff question or any other
econonical question, bower important,
dividing political parties. The question
it presents is whether a free popular
government shall be maintained in
America. If coercion, moral or phys
ical, such as we witnessed in the last
campaign, is to go unrebuked, govern
ment by the people is nearing its end
and we are entering on an era of gov
ernment by an olgarchy of opulent em
ployers. I recommend tho enactment
of such laws as well not only protect the
voter in the free exercise of his franchise,

D. Rockfeller hus an annual income of
$8,i00,i:00. That is just $2:t,5t!2 a day,
or not quite $1000 an hoer. On the basis
of eight hours a day, he makes just $49
a minute. According to the United
States census reinirt the average wages
of the country are $22 a month. Rocke

gets $22 a month. Rockefeller has a

Bun R. Tiuman, the Soutk Carolina
statosmun, has no uncertain opinion con
corning the appointment of the political
monstrosity, Mark llunim, to the senate
Ho writes: "Now thnt congress has
convened in extra Bcssion and Hanna is
himself a member of it-, his intimate re
lations with the new president will
naturally give him more weight than
any man in the senate. Thus bribery,
the wholesale debauchery of the ballot,
is rewarded by the highest honor and
influence. The highest honor in the
gift of the state is the prize for the
wholesale prostitution of the American
people. Again I say it marks an epoch
in our country's history, and it remains
to be seen whether the triumph of wrong
over right, of falsehood over truth, of
dishonesty and corruption shall be per
manent. I repeat that that the
brazen effrontery which has brought
about this object lesson is for
tunate for the cause of humanity and
patriotism. The nulls of the god
grind slow, but they grind exceedingly

use such itnssrupulous methods to in
crease their ill-gotten gains are are only
damming up the water."
