OREGON OITY, JULY 8, 1898. Had the union ticket won in Oregon the monopoly- organs would now be making a great roar over the big fall in the price of wheat. As it is they are as mum as oysters. The bimetalliats all over the country can depend on Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Idaho to keep the money question hot during the coming campaign. These states will never falter in their allegiance to the paramount issue. A thought has struck the administra tion that it is about time to send food to the reconcentrados in Cuba. What valid excuse can be given why this humanitarian work was not done when war was declared? Ttm great majority in the house in favor of Hawaiian annexation. practically assures its passat;o in the senate, llapui is a military necessity to the United States, and the American peo ple are nearly unanimous for annexation of the islands. The money power is already seeking to gobble up all the popular loan bonds by offering to take them by the hundred millions. Why should they want to invest money in bonds at low interest instead of property and enterprise which would give the laborers work? By refusing to issue legal tender notes instead of bonds the majority of congress lias declared that bank currency is bet ter than government currency, and the only reason they advance why bank cur rency is better is that such currency bears interest, whereas legal tender notes cost nothing, What do the peo ple eny?

Seven Thousand Patriotic People Gather in Oregon City. It is estimated that there was fully 7,000 people in Oregon City on the Fourth of July, and tt.e celebration with the exceptiou of the illumination of the falls,' was a grand success. The loud salutes from Roake's cannon at an early hour awoke the people to a realization of the fact, that this was the greatest Fourth of July observed in America since the day on which Independence was actually declared. Soon the news was received that Sampson had de stroyed Cevera's fleet in the harbor of Santiago, which tended to add fuel to the already burning tires ot patriotism that inspired many loyal souls. Deco rations were in plentiful evidence every where, and the people aeemed to real ize that it was indeed, a double celebra tion.

I had pretty much lost all faith in medicines, but thought I would get one bottle of Hood's Sarsapa rllla and try it. After taking that bottle I was much better, and so I got two more bottles and after taking them I was well, but to be sure of it, I kept on taking Hood's Sarsaparilla until I had used in all five bottles.
