alorlnrss ami tlie haH-hearUMtiesa ot the
iletnocratic senators, the repeal of the Slier
man act was delayed until the country ap
pears! tol on the brink of ruin. I'uhlic
cotiflileuce in the soundness of the govern
ment on the currency question, which wa
then to ruilelv shaken, has not yet been
completely restored. Noon can tell what
measures may be taken by a legislature
that has shown itself incapable of dealing
pnimptly and firmly with that very im
portant question.
The way in which the democratic party
has broken its pledges with respect to the
matter of tariff reform has disgusted mil.
lions of intelligent men In the I'nltcd Mali's.
The party was elevated to power pledged
to effect a sweeping reform of the tarllf. It
condemned the fiscal policy of the republi
can party in the strongest terms, and it
was returned by a large majority to do
away with that policy and to establish in
its stead a policy based on altogether ditter-
ent principles. It has not obeyed the man
date of the people, and it lias not been true
to its principles or its pledges. Congress
has spent mouths in tinkering the tariff,
and the work, so far as it has gone, is the
McKinley tariff modified. It is a protective
tariff, and not a turllt for revenue alone,
which w as what the democratic party prom
ised the people.
The democratic party today Is plainly a
house divided against itself, and we have
the best authority for expecting its speedy
ilowulittl. The indications are at this mo
ment that at the next presidential election
the democrats will be swept out of exist
ence, and impartial men everywhere must
say it w ill deserve its I ale.

lU. A I. KSTaTK Tit ANSr Kits,
FOR V. S. S EX AT 0 JR.
The Oregon Slate Journal says, "When it
became known that the republicans had
elected an overwhelming majority ot the
members of the legislature we supposed
and that seemed to be the general opinion
and perhaps is vet that the re-election of
Senator Polph was assured, with very lit
tle if any opposition. There are some, how
ever, who take a difttrent view of the mat
ter, and we will endeavor to state the situ
ation impartially without expressing an
opinion for or against any candidate. Mr.
Dolpbisa very able, influential and per
sistent advocate of a protective tariff. On
that question he represents the unanimous
sentiment of the republicans of Oregon. On
the silver question, while he claims to be in
favor of bimetallism, the same as nearly
- every other American claims to be, he is op
posed to the coinage of all the silver pro
- duced In the American mines into full le
gal tender money at the ratio of 16 to 1 by
the United States without the consent and
co-operation of other nations. All the peo
ple of the Pacific coast are bimetallists in
the sense and to the extent that Senator
Polph is, and a very large majority, in
cluding republicans, democrats and popu
lists, go farther than Senator Dolph and
demand the immediate and unlimited coin
age of legal-tender silver, without waiting
for the concurrence or assistance any
other nations. The democrats and popu
lists of Oregon are practically unanimous
in their demand for Iree coinage, and per
haps a majority of the republicans, includ
ing the members of the legislature, bold
the same opinions. The leaders of this
movement are very active in their oppo
sition to the election of Senator Dolph, oh
the ground that his re-election would be re
garded in the East as an indorsement of his
"opposition to silver," as they call it, and
would cause great Injury to all the silver
producing states and the whole country,
and wouid surely result in the election of a
democratic or populist legislature in 1806.
These arguments, which appeal strongly
to the members of the legislature in both a
business and political sense are being nsed
in conversation and through correspon
dence, which does not appear in the news
papers, for all they are worth. Whether
these free silver men will be able to defeat
him or not yet remains to be seen. If he
should be defeated it will be solely on the
ground and for the reasons which we have
stated. His ability, his influence, his val
uable services to Oregon more valuable
than those of any new man could be for
several years are admitted and recognized
by all. There are now said to be four can
- didates in the field whose supporters are
. actively at work. They are Senator Dolph,
' Representative Herman, Hon. Thos. H.
Tongue and Hon. Charles W. Fulton, with
a probability of a dark borse in the person of
Hon. Sol. Hirsch, Hon. Rufus Mallory or
some other man. There is quite a strong
sentiment that as Herman has just been
elected to congress for the sixth time, and
hit promotion to the senate would create a
vacancy in the House and require a special
election, he ought to keep out of
he senatorial fight. This may rule
him out as practically ineligible, and leave
the friends of Dolph, Tongue, Fulton, and
as many others as may take their chances
of capturing the prize, to tight it out if it
takes all winter. The chances are that
with so large a majority as the republicans
will have in the legislature they will be able
to decide the election speedily, but there is
a possibility that it may take them forty
days and forty nights, leaving very little
time for anything else. This would per
iiaps be no misfortune, so far as legislation
is concerned, for too many laws and too
frequent changes in the laws is always
oad for any country. Very poor laws, if
left alone for a long time, are better than
constant tinkering and changes, which
does not give time for business to adjust it
self to one system till it is set aside by another.
The San Francisco Call in discussing the
financial outlook says: People wonder why
there is no more activity in business circles.
It is a little over a year since the
present depression began to manifest itself
In the failure of banks and 'omnierrinl firms
on a scale beyond the ordinary. The bank
troubles practically ceased last November.
Nothing unusual in that department has
since occured. Failures among business
firms have also showed a decrease for
several weeks. Nevertheless there is a good
deal of complaint of a want of activity in
general business and industrial circles.
These complaints are not without a cause.
Some attribute the dullness to one thing
and some another. In the last analysis one
reason for the apathy is because of the re
stricted amount of money in active circula
tion. This is not the resHlt of any contrac- j
tion of the aggngate amount of currency in
the country, for the total amount of money
coined and issued is larger than usual. It
it is not the volume ol currency in the
country that determines activity in business
circles, but the amount in actual use.
The producing and wage earning classes
have less money to spend than they had two
years ago. This is because of the great de
preciation in the value of farm and other
products. The agricultural department at
Washington has recently been making some
comparisons along this line. It places the
value of cotton and seven cereals in l!Xil at
$l,97t.0!4.n.V! and the an;e articles in 1X0
at $1,.'!(i9,7Ki,15S showing a depreciation in
the to years of This loss of
more than one-third in the buying ability
of the cotton and grain raisers of the coun- i
try explains away much of the want of ac
tivity in commercial circles. There lias not
only been a large decrease in the wheat and
corn crops between IhiiI and W, but an
unusual shrinkage in values. The one ray
of light out of this condition of gloom is
the hope, which all like to believe well
founded, that commercial values have gone
about as low as they can. and that the re
action, when it does set in, will be radical.
Though this is the dull season ol the year
in this state, the money activity as shown
by the movement across bank counters, has
been greater In the past few weeks than for
some time previous.
Another reason is the unwillingness of
manufacturers to produce goods, and of
dealers to order either foreign or domestic
consignments pending tariff legislation.
Until some conclusion is reached on that
subject, trade must necessarily be dull
and confined to supplying immediate demands.
TO EEY1 YE BUSINESS.
A SIGNAL FAILURE.
Under this bead the Victoria Colonist
discusses the acts of the democratic party In
this country as follows:
The failure of the democratic party in
the United States Is proclaimed by those
who a little While ago were its warmest
.friends. Its action both with respect to the
From bad to worse has been the decline
ef business under the present administra
tion. Not content with permitting things
to drift which in itself would have been
bad enough the members of congress have not
only insisted on pushing measures calculated
to do great damage to the country, but have
done these things in such a way as to re
sult in the most Injury. If the dominant
party had a contract to bring utter rain and
bankruptcy upon the business of the coun
try and upon the nution itself it could not
go about it in a more effective manner than
it is now doing. Radical measures affect
ing the business interests of the entire coun
try are kept mouth alter month before con
gress the members of w hich almost openly
sell themselves to the corrupt trusts.
Can it be seriously doubted that ninety
nine out of every hundred business men,
if they would publicly express the feelings
they do not hesitate to utler to each other,
would demand that congress am at once
tarifl agitation and the tainted whiskey and
sugar bill, give industries a chance to re
vive, and attend to the pressing necessities
of the treasury? Is there any considerable
number of business men in either party
who doubt that business would in that case
at once revive to a most cheering extent?
Remove the fear that the treasury reserve
may be exhausted, and gold will cease to go
abroad. Clear away for thereat of this year
all agitation about a change in the tariff,
and manufacturing establishments which
are now closing by the hundred, would at
once offer work to thousands of persons
now in forced idleness. One has only to
glance at the record of the present congress
to know that in no particular can it be re
lied upon to legislate in the interest of the
common people.
Tni! Supreme Court has decided that pen
sion money cannot be attached lor debt,
even when it is deposited in a savings
Tin following from Ilia lllllshoro Inile
deut is worthy of perusal and practice by
every person in this community. It says:
The way to get rid of tramps, which has
long been known and hat many times been
proved, is to make their food and shelter
depend absolutely iion work. Last win
ter, the city of ltnltlmore rid Itself of all
these pests by refusing to give lliein a place
to sleepexcept on condition of their earning
it. The result was that when other cities
were overrun with trumps, Baltimore was
free of them, and thus relieved, the city
turned its attention to (hiding work for the
deserving unemployed. This work came
so near to paying for Itself that only an In
siguillcant sum of money was required to
prevent actual suffering. This Interesting
sociological result has, therefore, again du
monstraleil, that it is the traui the Idler
who does not want work that causes the
demoralization in a time of distress, and
prevents the involuntary Idle from finding
proper aid.
Ox cannot help w ishing that the mob
in the streets of I.vons which wished to
rend the assassin of 1'rvsidenl Carnot limb
from limb, might have been allowed to
work their vengeful ire upon the guilty
villain. Hud the deed been committed In
this country where the murderer of Mavor
Harrison still lives after the elapse of over
a year after he shot his victim, there would
be much cause to regret that the mob had
been prevented from inflicting summary
and immediate punishment It is not at all
likely, however, that the French govern
ment will permit justice to lag or turn aside
from a quick hearing and speedy adequate
punishment. It is almost certain that the
murderer of President Carnot will have
been in his grave long enough to rot before
the Chicago court will reach the end of
Prendergast, and what that end will be no
man can guess, unless it be liberty.
It is gratifying to note that the citizens
of this city are generally cleaning up pre
paratory to the Fourth. This is well, for
two reasons. In the tint place it will give
the thousands of visitors w ho w ill be with
us iiKn that occasion, If the day be a pleas
ant one, a murh more favorable impression
of the city thnn they would curry uwuy w ith
them if all the sticks, stones and other rub
bish were permitted to lav about the streets
and alleys. It is of the utmost imrtante
that every spot in the city be as neat as it
can be made in the intirvuning time.
Then again there is always more danger of
fire on the Fourth than upon other days,
and this danger will be greatly leisened If
all rubbish including moss upon the roofs
is cleared away. Not a place for a stray
spark from crackers should be left to create
a conflagration on that day, Clean up.

Tub assasi nation of I'rvMdent Carnot of
the French republc, removes an able and
just ruler from one of the first nations of
the age. There was no occasion lor the act
which is now believed to have been the
work of connpirinR anarchists. The doing
of this duntardly ili cd can renult in no bene
fit to free government, but is liable on the
other hand to work injury to the cause of
the people and to aid imperialism, i'rcsl
dent Carnot was beloved by the French
people and admired for his just and able
administration of the affairs of government
by the other nations of the world and by
all intelligent peonle. The only good that
may be hoped from so vile a crime Is the
enactment and enforcement of stricter laws
against all who raise their hands against
organized government and society. .
Bkkoiik the morning of the Fourth which
ii destined to be a big day in this city with
thousands of people moving about, smoking,
firing crackers and burning powder in its
many forms, every citizen who has property
of any kind which is liable to tire should
take the utmost precaution to preserve his
property on that day w hen danger is in
creased. Hydrants and bone should be in'
spectcd, buckets full of water should be
conveniently located and in addition to this
everything combustible should be cleaned
up and placed where it etui do the leant
harm in caie of lire. There is no time for
delay.
