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?

A GRAND CELEBRATION.
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.
The parade was an interesting fea
ture, and greatly admired by the 7000
Clackamas county people that took part
in the celebration. The procession be
gan the line of inarch at 10 :30 in the
following order :
George A. Harding, grand mar?uai,

members of Hose Companies No's 3 and

cart covered with bunting and decora

on the highest pinnacle representing

Hood's Sarsaiarilla Cures.
" I lost my appetite and about all I lived
on was iced lemonade. My strength was
all gone. I was so weak I could hardly
cross the floor. At last I was taken very
sick. One physician told me my blood
was all gone and he gave me medicine but
it did not help me. 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. It has done unspeakable
good to me and I wish all my suffering
sisters would try it." Mrs. A. Eversen,
