OREGON CITY, SEPT. 9, IS98.
THE ELECTIONS.
Twenty-five states will elect governors
Ai8 antumn, most of them in November.
Eoei of tlieee states vill alsocliose lejris
&tnres'and other state officers, and in
meral instances states which do not
Iect governors will elect minor state
fficers and legislatures. All the states,
tith the exception of Oregon, where the
lection has already taken place, will
elect delegations to the house of repre
aeatativee. The state and congressional district
nonventions which have already been
ild affords some idea of this issues on
nEiich the several political parties will
pjxml to the people. The financial
Tii'stion, which was uppermost two
jears ago, is still proninent, and in a
sutnber of instances democratic or re
publican conventions have "reaffirmed"
declarations made by the national
conventions in 1800 in favor of fee silver
rerf the maintenance of the gold stand
srd. But new questions. arls;ny from
the-war, especially that of possible terri
SWvuJ exnariMon, are limling.a place in
wnlii.lenl platforms; .but there is no
ileliu'ite Agreement upon them in the
0!nfitiiiis of either political party.
Th illiunces between democrat-? and
ile ptHijile's party, which figured so
jfrotnifflently in the presidential election,
ire lj:sBg renewed in some instances and
disatd'iwl in others, the policy varying
n'itli tlis differing degrees of intensity of
feeling wpon the financial question, and
with the ease or difficulty of die-
Uniting noniinatiiins to the satisfaction
l the allies. In two or three statesi as
in .ennylvania and to some extent in
Sew York, questions of local govern
ment eeem likely to overshadow or con
itise aatinunl issues.
A novel feature of the New York
tleutiim will be the names which are to
V taken to collect the ballots of soldiers

Hie Uniti d States,
In city enterprise, Glasgow, Scotland,

not levied any city lax at all for two
years. Profits on business owned and
operate ! by the city pay all expenses
It baa owned i's gas and water works fcr
many years. In 1891 it bought the street
railways, and is now about to es'ablish
a city bank. The city provides swimming
baths at 4 cents a swim, and the city
wash houses where housewives can lake
their week's washing and have hot and
cold water, fixed in tubs a convenience
that only the wealthy can afford for
themselves, for less than fuel would cost
at home. The city owns several model
lodging houses, and a gi eat many cottages
for rent to workingmen at low rates.
The city furnishes concerts in winter for
two cents admission, and in the summer
months often has a dozen bands playing
in the different parks at the same lime.
A scheme for city ownership and opera
tion of the liquor traffic is now being
matured. All this is practical socialism,
namely, ownership and operation of
industries and mono-plies by the govern
ment for the benefit of stockholders.

We can but admire the Oregontan for
its backbone, an element lacking in most
newspapeis. .

TitE army scandals are having one
serious effect ouiBide of the sufferings of
the foldiers. The regulars as well as the
volunteers are anxious to resign, and, so
far, it has been impossible to enlist men
enough to fill up the regular army to the
desired number. Another call to arms
would meet w ith no such response as the
other's did, not that men are not just as
patriotic ate ever ; not that they are not
just as willing to serve their country,
even to the battle's edge, but men do not
want to Btarve to death in the midst of
plenty; to suffer and die for want of
medicines, which by the tons ire loaded
in ships in sight, but which there is not
a Iministrative ability enough to unload,
and they do not want to Vie sent to
charge redoubts defended by long-rane
guns, w hile the siee guns lighter bat

The ibilowing proclamation was issuod
vkmx the state executive office Wednes

"Alteit ! II. U. ktsi'.un, Secretary of.

The governor did not set out in the
proclamation, nor would he state un
officially his reasons for calling the spe
ial session, preferring to follow the
precedent establishment by earlier
fovernors in reserving them to be incor.
no rated in a message to the legislature
hen Reconvened. It can bo stated, how
vcr, that the election of a senator to
fill Oregon's vacant seat in the United
States senate w 1 on congress convenes in
December is one of the prime olijects of
Uie call. Another is the passage of a
general appropriation bill, to give the
present administration a chance to elear
ap all business properly belonging to it
in order to turn the state's affairs over to
Jhe next administration free from entail.

lust legislature to organize.
"TiiKiiK is no issue more important to
this nation than the monetary issue,"
says the Chicago Dispatch. "There is
nothing that could more conduce to the
prosperity of the people than the free
coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of
1(1 to I. This is what (1,600,000 citizens
of the United States voted for in 189(5.
This is what they demanded an oppor
tunity to vote for 1900. And these
voters believe that hundreds of thcu.
sands of men who were coerced kto
voting for gold at the last presidential
election, and hundreds of thousands of
other men who voted 'bimetallism'
(fooled by the claims of MeKinley) will,
at the next presidential election, vote
for silver and William J, Bryan."
Concerning Local
Affairs Noticed by
- Codrler Reporter.
A well known Oregon City taxpayer
suggests that the way to keep the city
improved streets in good condition is to
constantly repair the bad places. Little
ohles continue to get larger, and unless
repairs are made, things go on in th's
way until a new improvement has to be
made. On some of the improved crush
ed rock or gravel streets, goo.! sized rocks
lie around loose, causing the wheels of
vehicles to jolt as they strike against
them. These could be tossed to one side
very easily and the streets would present
a much more attractive appe'arance. The
completion of the Singer Hill thorough
fare will give Oregon City a system of
good roadways through and connecting
with the principal streets. . v,
It is the general custom when Clacka
me.s county teachers attend conn'y
institutes, to pas a lot of ie solutions
thanking the instructors for their work.
Now- this would be in go"d taste, if the
said instructors were not receiving a
stipulated per diem for their work as
teachers of 'other teachers. Y'et this
same tiling occurs year after year, anil
some one writes out a string of resolu
tions that are passed, and handed to the
newspapers for publication. All this
would be in excellent taste, if they were
not paid for their w ork. Whoever heard
of a pupil getting up on the last day of a
term of district school, and introducing
a lot of ri solutions thanking the teacher
for his work. Of course, it is perfectly
proper to vcte thanks to the lecturers
an, i musicians, w ho give their time and
talent without remuneration, but the
instructors are mighty anxious to get the
job of holding down a place as teacher
in an institute for a few days durin,' the
summer vacation.

So far the weather has been everything
that could be desired in the way of hop
picking. From the crowds of people
that were taking their departure to the
hop fields for a period of ten days, it is
evident that there is a laiger proportion
of the population from this section in the
hop fields, than ever before. These peo
ple will bo benefitted by camping in 'the
