VOICE OF THE STATE PRESS. It does not sound well for Derao-Popu-llsts to accuse the Republican speakers of being untruthful, in the light of Bry an's prophecies of 18S6. Enterprise Chief tain. The fellow of the Rosebu g Plalndealer, who Imagines he must scratch every time the name Blnger Hermann Is mentioned, never opens his mouth but what he plants his foot in it. He says that Hermann was out on official business while making stump speeches. So he played official business in order to make the Govern ment not only pay him his salary while campaigning, but his other expenses per sonal expenses. The commissioner is a financier whom McKinley needs in the Treasury Department. It is hardly nec essary for Hermann to bo In Oregon two months to visit six land offices. But the people paid his expenses. Portland Dis patch. Mr. Bryan discovers a new cause of agitation and alarm in each Presidential campaign. At his first appearance In Na tional politics he claimed tho country was In danger of ruin from the tariff, and could be saved only by free-trade policy. After experiencing a thumping defeat on this issue, he discovered four jeare later that the gold standard was the cause of all our woes, and relief could be had only from free silver. Beginning this campaign, he dropped both free trade and free silver and Insisted upon imperialism as the paramount Issue. Now he dodges over to trusts Baker City Herald. Seme of our Democratic brethren would have us believe that we no longer have "the money f the Constitution." We say we do have. The Constitution of this country sas that Congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof." We would like to ask by what authority the money of this coun try Is being coined. Does the Constitu tion of the United States say that we shall have free and unlimited coinage of silver, or an unlimited Issue of paper money? It neither says we shall or shall not. To Congress was delegated the pow er to deal with the currency by the wisa and far-eeing fathers. Why, our dear brethren, we do have "the money of the Constitution." Wallowa News. Paul Kruger's desertion of his people, with the contents of the national treas ury In his possession, scorns to Justify much that has been said Questioning his 5atriotlsm and honesty. We admire the oyal Boer who clings to cherished Ideals and refuses to yield his gun in the face of certain defeat, but for the leader who has left them to their fate we have noth ing but contempt. Stayton MalL Judge Bennett says Mark Hanna puts on a pair of leather spectacles a half Inch thick and goes about the country look ing for trusts and cannot see any. That's funny, but we know something funnier than that. William J. Bryan puts on a pair of leather spectacles an Inch thick and he goes about the country looking for prosperity, and he looks even longer and harder than Mr. Hanna, bvt he can't see any. Wallowa News.

LOWER COURT REVERSED. Supreme Court Decides Cases From Lane County. SALEM, Or., Nov. 5. The Supreme Court today handed down a decision in the action of Frederick Rosteln, respond ent, V3. Jacob R. Park, appellant. The case was appealed from Lane County, J. C. Fullerton, Judge. The findings of the lower court are reversed, Judge Moore rendering the decision. "This is a suit to set aside a deed of real estate. It Is alleged In the complaint that on March 6, 1S97, plaintiff was the owner of certain land in Lane County, Oregon; that on said day the defendant demanded of her a deed to said premises, and upon refusal to comply therewith, he and his attorney Induced respondent and husband to go to said attorney's office, where they ialsely accused the woman of swindling defendant and of violating tne 'Criminal statutes. bne expressea a desire to consult an attorney, but they refused to permit her to do so, and de manded that bhe Immediately execute a deed, and again upon refusing to yield to tho demand, defendant's attorney, Tvho was then a Justice of tho Peace, fraudu lently pretending to write a criminal In formation, informed the woman that un less she signed the deed she would be Im mediately arrested as a swindler, which threat caused her to sign said deed against her will. That the tame was not read to her, and that she did not know the contents, thereof, until she saw the samt on record In said county; that sfie never acknowledged that she executed said deed freely or voluntarily." "The cause was referred, and from the testimony taken and reported by the reforee the court found, in effect, that the language used by defendant's attorney could have been, and probably was, con strued by plaintiff as a threat that sh would be prosecuted in a criminal action if she persisted In her refusal to execute said deed, which was decreed canceled, and defendant appealed." The opinion of the Supreme Court says In part: "The evidence shows that on February 5, 1897, defendant was the owner of certain real property, described in the complaint, but. having agreed with L. Rosteln, plaintiff's husband, to exchange said premises for land In Eldorado County, California, which was represented to be owned in fee, he and his wife executed a warranty deed for said land in Lane County, Or. The defendant, March 6, 1SS7, procured an abstract of the land in California, which showed the tract to be a part of the public domain. Rosteln, December 16, 1S93, secured a deed pur porting: to convey an undivided one-half Interest In a placer claim located thereon, but that by failure to improve the prem ises, they were, on December 3, 1895, re located as a placer claim by other parties, who performed the necessary assessment work to hold the claim for their use. De fendant Informed Rosteln of the condition of the title to said land, tendered him a quit-claim deed thereof, and demanded a deed of the promises which he convoyed to the plaintiff". "Rosteln, on being Informed that at the time he executed the deed he had no title to the land in California, replied that he and his wife would adjust the matter. Later they signed the deed, accepted de fendant's quit-claim deed to Rosteln for the California lands. "After the deed was signed plaintiff was asked by a. Notary Public If she acknowl edged that she executed the same freely and voluntarily, and replied 'yes.' "The plaintiff and her husoand testified that the deed was never read to them, and -that they did not know the contents thereof at the time they signed it. "Their testimony In this respect was denied by several witnesses. "Puress by threats of imprisonment must be such as to excite in the mind of the person who claims that his act was unlawfully superinduced thereby, a rear sonable fear of Immediate Imprisonment. Tested by tills rule, we do not think the plaintiff's mind was Influenced to such an extent by Wheeler's threat of immediate Imprisonment as, to deprive her of the free exercise of her will power, thereby compelling her, through fear, superln duecd by such threats, to execute the deed. True, If attorney pretended to be writing a criminal Information, and stated that she would be arrested as soon as it was flnjshed, and she knew he was a Jus tice of the Peacv, yet tho testimony does not disclose that she was aware of what he was writing, which, if Intended as an Information against her. waa not entitled In his court The plaintiff having been advisod not to make the deed, and in formed by an attorney-at-law. whom she consulted on. the subject, that she could not be arrested because of her refusal to- do so, we think she executed the deed at the earnest solicitations of her hus band, who. from the time he tras informed that no title- to the California lands passed by his deed, tried to persuade her to re convey the Lane County, land back to de fendant, and it was in pursuance of such entreaty on her husband's part that she compiled with his request, and not In consequence of any threats made by Wheeler. These considerations compel us to reverse the decree and dismiss the complaint." court at OREGoar crrx. Divorce Fees to Be Collected Here after Multnomah CRJies. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 5. Judge T. A.
