THE HOJRNING OREGGNIAN, TUESDAT SEPTEMBER 25 1900.- NOJES IN DEMAND Unexpected Pressure forCur ' rency for Moving Crops. ISSUES OP GOLD CERTIFICATES XTsxtaoAl Xnfinltrr tor Small Bills Re ported Front New York Got eminent "Will Asa let. WASHINGTON", Sept. S4. The pressure tor currency for moving the crops is be ginning to be felt. The issues of gold certificates by the Treasury at various points in the South and West in exchange tor deposits of sold in the New York subtreasury by banks on behalf of their country correspondents, are already $1,000,030 more than at the came time last year. The exchanges have reached H 35,O00, of which all but $900,000 has been in September. New Orleans has taken S3.S75.O00 of the goad certificates, St. Louis STCO.QOQ,, and Chicago $400,000. These are siot the only exchanges being mode in Now York and Washington in order to EX curreny into the country. A ship ment of $100,003 in small silver certificates tras just been made to St. Louis, in re turn for an eQual amount of gold coin for the New York subtreasury. New Orleans has received this month nearly $3,000,000 in email notes of various classes. The policy of shipping notes from "Wash ington to interior points in return for gold at New York was adopted when the gold reserve was low, because the banks profited by the export rate on currency In one direction and generally directed their New York agents to deport gold. The pressure for currency was not ex pected by the Treasury, because of the GTeat increase In the available supply, -which has been made in the past year, but the Treasury lias paid out in pre miums on bonds under the refunding law $33,165,083, and has paid, in the redemption of the old 2 per cent bonds under the re cent call of Secretary Gage, 520,OG7,lG0. The two items of more than $53,030,000 have been exclusive of the ordinary ex pectations of the Government. DEHIAKD FOR SHALL CURREHTCY. Treasury Takes Steps to Relieve the Situation in Xevr York. NEW YORK, Sept. 2C Frank A. "VTan denlp, Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury, conferred with bankers in this city today with reference to supplying the ex traordinary demand for small currency. "While what is known as "hand-to-hand" money is rather scarce at this saison. the supply of $1, $2 and $5 bills is,oow wholly Inadequate. The subtreasury baa great piles of soiled or mutilated currency turned in for redemption today. After conferring with the bankers, Mr. "Vandensllp -eald that he had ordered 1500.000 In $20 gold certificates to be ehlpped.to New York from "Washington at once. That, he thought, would relieve the situation and supply the banks with a class of money that they did not have. Be adds that the next step will be to supply small denominations at the sub treasuryj.. Banks 'were preparing today for heavy October disbursements. One of the larg est institutions haying hundreds of town accounts, reported a great mass of cou pons on hand for collection. Banks are still using quantities of bank notes for in terior currency demands. One large bank today had very lew of Its ow notes on hand, and reported little difficulty in keep ing out what extra circulation it had or dered at the time that the "new currency law made possible greater expansion.

In these days of the "strenuous life," and walling appeal for the young man Absalom, it Is Indeed refreshing to turn to the lucid, unbiased presentation of the real Issues of the campaign, by the Hon. George H Williams at Hllls boro on September 22, as reported In The Oregonlan yesterday. The Judge, who has lost none of his old-time vigor, as so often happens with many of our promi nent aged men. furnishes arguments that are unanswerable, and noed no comment. Last week we had in our midst imported orators presumed to represent the dif ferent points of view, who were aptly compared with local talent. Perhaps the moBt pertinent remark made by any of these visiting gentlemen was a reference by one of them to the people of this city and state as lethargic mossbocks, more especially so in regard to their apparent lack of Interest In political events. It might be well at this tlmo when we are perplexed as to our plain duty In the new territories where so much work of every kind Is needed, to seek advice or Inspiration from the examples of Wil liams, Shattuck and Deady In law and statecraft; of Ladd, Falling and Corbett In commercial affairs, and many other pldneer men and women, who founded an empire here such, as the conquering warriors of the Old World never dreamed of In their wildest flights of fancy. The suggestion Is respectfully sub mitted to the attention of tho National committeeman that we have a mass meeting In Portland In the near future, and that Judge Williams be Invited to repeat his excellent address. It should be a largely attended and enthusiastic gathering a public appreciation of him who has always been guided by an ex alted sense of right, from the bickerings and contentions of municipal affairs up to dealing with the Chief Executive the friend of Lincoln and "Grant, who stood by the martyr President .for duty and morality In the dark days of civil strife, by. McKinley for financial Integrity In 1E96, and again by McKinley for continued prosperity and National honor in 1900. M.' Colombian Rebels Active. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept 24. Direct advices from Carthegena, Colombia, say the rebels are active In that department, September 3 they attacked the town, but government troops from Colon arrived just In time to prevent their success. The rebels, who are under General Comrria cho, will join hands with the forces of General Urlbe. Plans are proceeding for another revolution for the new but un recognlred government. FlflMHIBIT Qf STOCK UMATILLA COUKTT BREEDERS AT PENDL-ETOX FAIR. Growers Giving: Great Attention to Taoro"aghbreds Other States Taking; Oregon Animals. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 24. No feature of the Street Fair, which closed Saturday, attracted more general interest than the exhibit of livestock. It was" as complete as the management was able to make it. The show had not been expected by breed ers, and with a few exceptions they had their stock on the Summer ranges, which put It out of the question for many, of them to make a display. Others having choice animals could not be prevailed upon to exhibit, for the reason that their stock was not show-fat But, despite the many reasons, including the drain by the State Fair, Umatilla County made a showing which will command the at tention of the Northwest- To the ob servant person the exhibit of stock opened the eyes of all' to the obvious awakening of "the breeders of Eastern Oregon from the lndlff eronco of past years to great. ac tivity looking to the Improvement of their breeds. Speaking of the livestock exhibit, S. H. GENERAL VIEW OF THE RECENT Fbrshaw, one of the owners of the Live stock and Woolgrowers' Journal, said: "A great factor-in the general revival of Interest In raising good 'stock In this section has been the Improved conditions of the last few years, which have mode It possible" for breeders to import good stock. It is safe to say that, should grow ers be favored with a continuance of the good times, Umatilla County "will within five years, at. the rate of progress now being made, supply thoroughbreds for many states. Already Washington; Idaho. Montana and Western Wyoming head their bands of sheep largely from Eastern Oregon flocks. "In the stock exhibit nearly every class of horses-was represented, from the heavy shire to the diminutive Shetland ponj, not omitting trotters and pacers, 'for which this part of Oregon has already made a reputation. In the cattle line, the best exhibits were Jerseys, though, It must not be Inferred from that that the Jersey Is generally the choice of breeders. On tho other hand, tho Short horn, of which there are some fine herds in the county, take the lead, while the Red Poll and Holstein are the favorites with others. In the sheep. line, excellent exhibits were made of pure-bred Spanish Merinos, Delaines, Ramboulllets, Ox fords, Oxford Downs, Lincolns and Shrop shire. In the hog line the exhibits were principally Berkshlres, but Berk shlres that judges admit can hardly bo equaled on the Coast. ' "Taken on the whole, the exhibition of livestock was praiseworthy, and 'will doubtless have the effect of further' stim ulating lntoi est In the breeding up of all classes of stock In tills part of the state. Breeders arc discovering that by improv ing their breeds they are not only 'doinir their mite toward the elevation of their profession, but are securing for them selves, through Increased Interest in their businesses, benefits they could not hopo to derive otherwise, while setting an 'ex ample which those who follow after them will strive to emulate."

The wheat crop pf Lane County will bo Insufficient to keep tho Eugene mllls run ning this 'ear, and grain will probably be Imported. The Eugene Mill & Ele vator Company, usually buys from 75,000 to 85,000 bushels of wheat, but -this year It has been able to secure only 20,000 bushels. - Perhaps one of the largest stalks of corn .yet raised In the Grand Roncle Valley was brought to William Miller's office from the Weather's place, says the La Grande Journal. It was at least 12 feet long. The many successful corn crops this year Induce the observation that corn will hereafter be found mucITmore profit able than Summer fallow. The Cove fruit drier, which Was built two years ago, at a cost of ?5000, is prov ing this year of almost inestimable value to the chief fruitgrowing section of the Grand Ronde Valley.

WILL BE A HOT CAMPAIGN BEST REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGNERS WILL VISIT NEBRASKA. Roosevelt Will Slake Forty Speeches Repudiation of Bryanism Would Be No Great Surprise. WASHINGTON, Sept 20. There is gor ing to be a very hot campaign In Nebras ka during the month of October. Ar rangements have been made for Roose velt to make 40 speeches In that state, while the very best campaigners of the Republican party aro going to devote considerable time to it just before elec tion. It would not be at all surprising to see Nebraska repudlato Bryan, as it Is altogether likely that Kansas will do, according to the best Information received from that state. Among the men who are going to make an emphatic campaign in the state Is George D. Melklejohn, Assistant Secretary of War. He is a candidate for the United States Senate, and as there aro two Sen ators to elect. It is altogether probable that ho will be one of them. If the Re publicans carry the Legislature. Mr. Melklejohn Is going to open his campaign the coming week, and he will meet the Imperialistic arguments of Bryan face to facet In a speech that will answer overy 'argument the Democrats have made. Mr. Melklejohn will make a very good Senator. He Is a lawyer of ability. He was a member of the House of Rep resentatives, and although he did not serve "there long, he won a good place for himself. He was one of "the men of Nebraska who did "not become 'frightened when the wave of Populism swept over tho Middle States. He remained a straight-out Republican, and also, a straight-out gold man. never faltering on .. ov naat,n ', mnni ,,hs matter gave him standing,, and the Ne-'j braska Republicans wanted him rewarded In some way, and that is why he was put forward and selected for Assistant Secretary of War. Having administered that office to the satisfaction of every body that came in contact with him and gained wide experience in public af fairs, he will be a Senator not only fot tho State of Nebraska, but for the whole Nation.

THE HOWL OF IMPERIALISM In Its De-renerate Days, a Once-Great Party Takes to Sniveling. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Sept 23. A great party that for many years bragged about how.lt had Increased the size of the Nation, how It had carried its flag over Mexico and added to the Nation vast areas of fertile "land for the land less," is now so degenerate that It whines and snivels because "the damned black Republicans want to make an empire out of the United States." Men howl them selves hoarse over the danger to the liberties of the people by Increasing the regular army to 100,000 men. Not long ago some of these howlers were doing all in their power to pre vent the removal of the troops from Fort Walla Walla and to secure the estab lishment of a big military post at Spo kane. Then the army was not big enough. Then "the people could make money supplying the troops." There was no fear of empire then. Nor was there fear of empire in 1877, when Chief Jo seph defied the Amorlcan Army for months. Nor was there fear of empire In 1873, when the Bannock Indians sent the farmers and their families to the protection of the nearest troops behind horses foaming with sweat as they gal loped from abandoned farms. Nor was there fear of empire In 1894 when Col onel Compton and the Fourth Cavalry sped on a special to arrest several hun dred men who had stolen a railroad train and were speeding across the continent, devouring as they traveled, making It dangerous for peaceful citizens to travel, and obstructing the malls and general traffic. There was no thought of Imperial ism when Cleveland sent troops to Chi cago to suppress the mob and restore or der. Now that we have islands In the seas that have to be protected against foreign aggression and preserved from domestic violence. Islands where two thirds of the army la stationed, our ears are assailed with horrid -Word-pictures of. the fate of a nation destroyed by "militarism." We are told that Major McKinley will use the army and declare himself Emperor of America if he Is re elected. When the facts are recalled that the army consists of 100,000 men. two thirds of them volunteers whose tlmo of service expires next Juner that these 100.000 men are scattered from the North Pole to the Equator, from Maine to Ma nila, tho crys of "Imperialism," of "mili tarism," becomes as funny as the most comical of comic operas. Talk of "Imperialism." of "militarism," reminds me of the story of tho American riding In a jaunting car In Ireland. Aa they passed a couplo of red-coated men. who had taken "the widow's shilling," Pat said; "Some day we'll rise up and drive thlm red-coated dlvels out of Olerland lntil the sae." "Why don't you do it without talking so much about it?" Inquired the Ameri can. "Be jabbers." said Pat, "the perllco won't let us." And so when Major McKinley calls on the army to make him Emperor of America, the police won't let them do It T. B. JOHNSON. "When His Nerve Failed. HAMILTON, Ont. Sept 24.
