Grover Cleveland, president ot the Uni ted Slates, has spoken to congress and the people of the country in his message to the extraordinary session of congress, stating his reasons for convening that body and sug gesting, as is his duty, the work which should be done to restore confidence. The document is a straight, forward and concise statement of the financial question and deals with no other except to refer to the tariff as a matter for future consideration. The president advocates an honest stable money, and silverites and tiatists will find no consolation in the perusal of his words. He believes that it is to the Interest of all classes, and to the working man in particu lar, to have a non-fluctuating currency which will command the confidence not only of all of our own people bat of the na tions of the world as well. While lie does not recommend the abandonment of silver as a currency he unequivocally favors re peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man act. and it is evident that he will not sanction any legislation that in his judg ment will not tend to improve the financial situation. Fortunately the president has a clear understanding of the value of credit and a safe currency, and it is his undoubted purpose to exercise his power to plac e the government right in these matters, and he calls on the members of congress to rise above party affiliations and do all in their power to relieve the existing financial de pression. It is to be hoped that the presi dent will have the hearty co-operation of a large majority of congress in his efforts to restore confidence and relieve the country from its grievous burdet. of distrust. It is possible that financial legislation alone will not restore confidence and that the repeal of the silver purchase clause will not banish the feeling of distrust which has become fixed in the minds of so many people that credit is impaired and busi ness at a standstill; but while there may be an honest difference of opinion on that point there is no doubt whatevor but that the legislation recommended is In the right line and should prevail. But it will be re membered that the recommendation is not in line with the party platform adopted at Chicago, and there are several other expres sions of that platform which map cause the party in power trouble before confidence and prosperity are restored. The sustaining of the president In his financial policy will, it is true, do much to restore confidence, lor congress was elected in favor of silver, and while the demo cratic party declared the tariff unconstitu tional the president himself, though in favor of " tariff reform," is not an ultra free trader, and if he can secure the sup port of his party upon the financial ques tion it will convince the public in a measure that he can control tariff legislation so as not to cripple existing industries. At any rate congress is now in a position to do more good or harm than any congress for many years. clfio ltulKlor an' of the proposed road ami Its promoter: " Or. J. II. Mnhnnn, ex -minister and quondam threshing machine In ventor, the man with a single rail railway, the saddle truck railroad, the center hear ing railway, etc., etc., Is now about to build a railway to Mt. Hood. IV, Mahana Is probably the originator, deviser and prime projector of more railroads than 0, W. Hunt or the city or Astoria The amount of free booming that has been given these different railroad building schemes by the state press would set a patent medicine con eerti on the toad to millions. Several com panies have been formed and some stork has been sold, and one railroad came so near being built that one ot those formida ble mechanisms called a saddle truck engine was actually made, or at least partially so, by a local iron works when It still remained at last accounts. The doctor calls this sin gle rail, or saddle truck Idea his invention, when iu fact it is the worn out and aban doned idea of inventors of years ago. it Is not a single rati track In any sense but a three rail track which could not be success fully operated by removing any one of the three rails." Thi ExTkitrBist- would respectfully sug gest to those of this community w he em ploy labor of any kind at this lime that the preference be given to those who live here and who are interested in the place. Such will spend their money here and will help in many ways to build up the city, and it is to the interest of all concerned to have them employed rather than to have the money paid to such as merely come here for work and send their earnings elsewhere to sup port their families who are living in other communities. It is one of the resources of Oregon City that it has hand employing mills which will keep men busy when other communities have idle men, and the way to keep and build up the place is to employ Oregon Ctv men when it is possible to ob tain them. This policy is not clannish and if pursued it will work to our advantage in many ways, inasmuch as it will give stabil ity to resident labor which it would not oth erwise enjoy, and it would encourage thoe who wish to enjoy the bene Ills incident to the place to move to Oregon City and to buy a home, thus becoming fixtures and helping to increase the stable population of the city. One way to build up Oregon City is to employ Oregon City people. Win! it It Is not pleasant to those who are conducting a religious meeting to have any one ciuisi a disturbance it does them no burin, but it Is a positive injury to the per- ! sun who makes the disturbance, and no ,,,,. ,t,ii I'M,, iH',,tl t. leiul lila itl.l or ceuntenanee to anything out of the way In a public meeting. It Is not necessary that he be caught and suiter In order that the injury lie sustained, for the greatest harm results to his moral sensibilitiesaud charac ter. Pon t make the mistake of thinking It Is smart. It Is not, and the man who yields to the temptation ia doing himself more real harm than he can afford to per mit. Tin fart that the annual encampment of the first regiment of the state militia occurs at Gladstone will be of material benefit lo this city In many ways, but it would I much better if instead ol the street which was made a generation ago we had one of our own building fully up to the times. There ars certain lo be other Improvements, the natural accompaniment of better streets, which will add to the good appearance nf the town, and these would all have lielpol to advertise us as a wide awake and pros perous community, so that all who come hither would leave, to speak a good w ord for the place and Its people. Tt'sur improvements are as necessary to the growth and prosperity of a city or community as mills and factories or a rich surrounding tributary country, and it is lo the ultimate Interest of every com munity and individual to favor such Im provements as will add lo the good appear ance and business Interests of the plait. SEWSl'Al'KR COMMENT. A will-Mows physician of Wheeling, West Virginia, in speaking of vitrified brick paving, says: " After twenty years of hard service the brick shows no wear, are as smooth as when first laid, are easily cleaned, and from a sanitary point of view are ab solutely priceless, for when properly laid no deleterious matter can accumulute. the streets can be flushed without injuring the pavement and be kept as clean as the most fastidious could wish. The smooth, solid surface reduces to a minimum the power re quired to move loads. Stone is rough, and heavily loaded teams are obliged to move ' slowly over it, and the daniHge by wear and tear ujon wagons and horses is enormous, j Asphalt softens in hot weather and it re I quires great pewer to move loads over it. I Brick is free from these objections and con j seqHently meets w ith the approval of team j sters and draymen. Vitrified brick, when j laid with sand cushions between the courses, is practically noiseless, as the sand deaden ! the sound and makes it the least noisy of j all modern pavements." j 1 hue young men are lying in the county l jail serving out sentences imposed for dis turbing a religious meeting when they ought to have been otherwise and better employed, and one other Is reported to have skipped in order to escape from the opera tions of the law. It is not at all to their credit that they disturbed the meeting and it will not better their reputation or good na.ne to have it said of them in the days and years to come that they served a term in the county jail. Both the hall and the meeting belonged to the Solvation Army which had a right toconduct its meetings as it saw fit. Any one going there should ob serve proper decorum and comport himself in accordance with the rules of the parties conducting the meeting. If be can net do this he should stay away from the meet ings. However different their views and plans of working may be from others they are at least law abiding and entitled to their views and should be protected from Imposi tion and disturbance. The sentence seems hard but the young men knew better and are not entitled to any sympathy. wit Asn riovns show It, If voti'r a healthy woman.

The natural advantages of Oregon City have been frequently mentioned in these columns, but it is at a time like the present when they stand out in bold relief as com pared with other communities not as favor ably situated. It Is true that the mills are several of them closed at this time, but for tunately their product is such that the shut down is not likely to be long continued, though it may be possible that the output of the mills will have to be reduced to cor respond with the dull times. Ultimately It should be possible so to utilize our natural resources that we will feel the depressing effects of dull times less and less, and it should be the policy of all to encourage the location of such mills here as will from the nature of their product have a uniform de mand in spite of depressing times. After four years of constant service in the register's office of the Oregon City land office, Captain J. T. Apperson steps down and out. He has made a careful, painstak ing and efficient register. During bis ad ministration of the office the work has been unusually heavy and trying on account of the conflicting claims and interests, but he invariably met the exigencies of all occa sions and did not allow the business of one day to pile up to become a charge upon its successor. Upon his assumption of the office he posted himself fully concerning bis du ties and has in all cases and at all times con ducted the business of the office in accord ance with the law as he understood it with out fear or favor, and it is to his credit that the department has but seldom had occsion to reverse his rulings. The people living In the north part of the county who are just now in hopes of having s railroad which will connect them with Mt Hood and Portland will do well not to pin too much faith to the project, and if in clined to aid the projector In a financial way it may be as well to protect their own interests in full while so doing. The Fa- Railboads as well as individuals are find ing it necessary to retrench so as to save ex penses, aud they are giving less and poorer service on the roads. This is but the result of loss of business. The first to suffer loss in such cases are the feeders or branch lines, but if stringency continues the main lines have to suffer as well. The old narrow gauge has been reduced most of its length to a tri-weekly service, and it is expected that this end of the main line will, like the California division, lose its local train, thus reducing the service to the old supply of two trains each way daily. AccoKtiiKO to the fit. Louis Journal of Agriculture the highest estimates of the present wheat crop will not exceed 383,000, 000 bushels, and the amount needed for home consumption is 390,000,000 bushels. Europe last year bought 190,000,000 from us. She will probably need 2.rj0,O00,0CO bushels Ibis year, but we can't spare her one-fourth what she will need. The following are some comment on the president's message : The Inter Ocean, Chicago It Is a clear, forcible presentation ol the sub ject now most prominent before the country. In the discussion of the money question, he gov so far a to loave no posmble room to doubt that bo ia in lavor of a single standard and that stand ard gold. The Times, Chicago While the presi dent makes a well-urged plea practically for monometalisni, be seems to furget entirely the democratic party which pledge itself to maintain bimetalisin and repeal the Sbeiman act without a substitute, but the president asks for no substitute. The Oregonian, Portland If the presi dent's message) lack something of the sharpness Mr. Cleveland ia accustomed to put into his private utterances, it looses no force by dignity of tone and temperance of statement. The president attributes the present financial string ency and trade depression solely to growing fear of the stability of cuirency, duo to constant injection into it of over valued silver and constant drain of gold. Moderate and conmlintory us the mes sage is, it lias no bint of coin promise, concessioner substitution. There is no comfort in the tnessuga for the free-coinage people, or for any of the well-meaning cranki w ho want to put more silver in the dollar, to make a standard coin out of an uuiulgain of the. two inetuls, to purchase the phantom of an international conferanre, or to dodge the square issue of any other way. The Republican, Denver Taken as a whole, the president' message will prove a greater set-back to the advocates of a single gold atandaid than to the up holders of bimetalisin. It reccommends the unconditional repeal of the pur chasing clause of the Sherman law, but does not contain a single valid argument to prove that the existing financial string ency could be relieved in any way by cutting off the only means now available for any increase in the already too limited circulation of the country. It makes no reference to the incalculable injury that would be done to the country by para lizing its silver mining industry, which incapable under favorable condition, of adding $80,000,000 to $100,000,000 an nually to the permanent wealth of the world . The Tribune, New York, The presi dent has done his part well. These are manly and strong words, and leave little disposition to suggest that the responsi bility has rested with him since the 4th of March, and that every day's delay since that time might have been avoided if he bad called congress together. It mistaken in deferring action, be is plain ly right now in asking congress to do lis part with promptness. Without dis tinction of party, men who care for the public welfare will sustain him when ever be ia so clearly in the tight. The Herald, New York. The repeal of the t Sherman law to ntop buying sil ver. This is tbo pith of the message gent by President Cleveland to con gress. Now that congress has been brought together for the special purpose of dealing with the question, it would be a positive crime for the members of that body to waste time in abstruse de butes. The World, New York. It is a char acteristic document, plain-spoken, lion- et, terse and patriotic. The president places the chief resjwnsibility or the financial troubles just where the busi ness men of all parties have fixed it upon the Sherman law. His statements of fact are undeniable; bis conclusions are irresistable to all open and candid minds. Journal of Commerce, New York. The president's message is strong, bread and in the wweat sense a politic document. SOOTH POWDERS, NflrWCHIHmCUHINGTtITHj lOjin Wl . . . ,-. iu.i.n.o i pntviNT rim. coHYf UMOKH. e.
