Newspaper Page TextMr Dolph ia dividing the republican party up in great shape in Oregon. "I called to pay you wnat I owe yon," are among the sweetest words one can hear nowadays. The railroads want the railroad com mission retained, a fact that needs no transparency to give it a complete ex planation. Everything that builds up Oregon will build up Albany, which ia bound not only to keep up but ahead of the growth of the state. . Ex-governor Hogg, of Texaa, is about to start a newspaper. Judging from his name it may be predicted that it will be another Oresonian. The University of Michigan has the most students of any college in the U. S.,about 4000. Harvard is second.Penn sytvania third and Yale fourth. Salem has a city hall elephant on its hands. It ia going to cost a great deal mere than was expected. An expense that is always worse than a boil. Folly half the members of the legisla ture would do a good service if they would go home and stay, thus saving the state a big Bum of money. They are worthless as legislators. The Pope suggests that the Priests do not ride bicycles." One hundred years behind time. Let every body ride bicy cles. They are among the greatest in ventiona of the age. Whenever a country newspaper runs out of material for an editorial it pitches into the Oregonian and Harvey Scott. Mr. Scott has become so hardened that it runs of his back like water from a duck. What a glorious winter we have had; bat bow selfish we are to rejoice by giving comparison with eastern weather. We can extend onr sympathy, and many are entitled to more than sympathy. One man says we can almost forget our hard times when we contemplate our superior climate. H all the bills introduced in the legis ature were to pass Oregon would be ful of railroad commissioners, game war dens, beertasters, horticulturists, bank examiners, grain inspectors, dairy com- mIseisoners,moral directors, log measur ers, food commissioners et cetera: but fortunately there are a few sane men in the two bodies. Mrs. U S. Grant was recently in At- lanta.Ga., where she was treated royally by the hospitable southerners. The new South ia all right. It is made of solid men who are leading in many of the enterprises and industries of the world. The past ia being buried. The future speaks for a wonderful develop ment beyond Dixie in all the great move ments of the world. An eastern exchange says: "Several rubber manufacturing houses will close The mild open winter has created no de' mand for rubber goods- For further par ticclars read the eastern dispatches. One would think people would need solid suit of rubber. Washington is to have a state grain in. spector, about as much needed as a light ning rod fcr the ocean. Oregon would also have several inspectors and examin ers and it is possible some will be estab lished just to provide for needy politi cians. Already apolitical wire pulter has been given a chair in a State Univer sity, aud he ia not needed as much as cat needs bangs. St. Valentines day comes this week, a fact revealed by a glance at several win dows along the street. "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns thoughts of "love; but the poet said nothicg about their turning to thoughts of horrid circatures that are nauseating to look at, illy conceived, and ungainly Send your girl one of the artistic ones full of sentiment, follow it up with a pro posal and then settle down to the steady Jodding life that will make a man of you Mocrhead's bill amending the ballot law proposes to group the ticket of each political party ceparate, and to place 1 the loft of the name of each candidate small square in which a cross will be mace opposite the name of the candidate voted for. riiis will tend to greatly aim plify the ballot. Under the present law the names are grouped on one ticket, alphabeti eally and the names of the par ties not voted for are crossed out, which causes considerable confusion with some, and a sorrect vote of the people is . not obtained. The other features of the bal lot law now in foice are left unchanged. -Ex. The New York . World is opposed to selling bonds to foreigners. It want them disposed of to the people. The World say 8: "Our government can Lonow all the money it wants at 3 per cent, or less. Yet it is just now about to borrow $100, 0o0,000at 34 or Z per cent. ; I; can borrow all the money it wants fro;o our own people: Senator Sherman speaks as an expert when he says that a popular loan of J 500,000,000 would be taken up in two days. Yet we are a tout to bonow $10:,000,000 oi foreign bankers, to whom we must pay $4,000,000 a year interest for thirty years to come.or $120, C00.COO in all, besides the principal of 1100,000,000 In order to get $100,009, 000 now we mart send abroad $220,000, 000 within thirty years." While a great deal is being said about money it is a very interesting fact that of all commercial transactions in the country in only 6 per cent of the cases is money actually used. Cpin in per cent of the cases and paper money in i't per cent of the cages. In 94 per cen1 of all transactions checks and drafls are UBed. Tlx-n as a matter of fact the great circulating medium of the country i check money. It is a pretty so id money too, for it is backed by an actual deposit) supported by laws making it a criminal offense to give a check, without a bank credit. The Demochat merely refers to this as a fact. There is probably some thing in it suggestive of future money, of the money that will be used when the government retires from banking, as a great medium This will, of course, not affect the present mediums, , gold and silver, needed for personal transactions which cover the six per cent referred to There is undoubtedly a wolfe the else YaquinaBay field somewhere, we don't know what wolves are. Dolph or no oue is the cry of the Ore- gonian. - It has been figured out that 100,003 vote at men In New York City do not all. Mr Dolph continues to draw (20 a day for working for the government and do ing nothing for anybody but himself. Mr. Phil Cohen informs the Democrat that the next TJ. S. Senator from Ore gon will be Hon. Sol. Hirsch, of Port land. Mr. Cohen baa figured this out with his own pencil. Albany should be proud of her public schools. They are progressive and up with the times. In fact no public school in Oregon ia better equipped, if as well. The courses are thorough, and a feature that is commendable ia the supplement al work enjoyed through the splendid library being gotten together. The greater number of the Oregon olons are eniovina the hospitality of Hon. H. W. Corbett at the Hotel Port land at present, following a graud din ner to which they were invited by him for yesterday. Statesman. Twenty-four oat of ninety doesn't look much like the greater number. We dislike allowing an issue cf the Democrat go by without mentioning the fact that the present State Legislature Is failure. It has done nothing, doesn't intend to do anything, and has not the brains to do anything if it wanted to. This doesn't refer to several of the mem bers, solid, capable men, who are kept from doing anything by the mec around them. The benefits cf free wool and of re duced duties on all woolens are begin ning to be felt by manufacturers and con sumers alike. A Pittsburg merchant writes to the 2L Y. Herald that he is able to sell French challies at 15 cents per yard less than under the McKinley tar iff, and that there has been a propor tionate reduction on all other woolen goods. Not only so, but with free wool our manufacturers are able to compete on even terms with foreign mills in gen- nine all-wool goods. The result is that less foreign goods will be imported, and there has been a marked increase of or ders for domestic woolens. One of the best members of the present legislature is Senator Coggswell.of Crook, Lake and Klamath counties, lie gets good many hard hits but deserves them less than most any man in the legists. ture. Among his bills are : Providing for recording of conditional sale and lease of personal property; providing for the transfer an J satiafation of mortga gea; relating to equalization of taxation prescribing what shall be conclusive evi dence of the enactment of laws of the legislative assembly ; repealing sections of Hill's code relating to making list of persons liable for military duty. -The American silver dollar contains a trifle less silver than the Mexican col lar, but it ia at a premium of about two for one over the Mexican coin, even in Mexico. That is to say. that if you go into a shop in a Mexican town, buy Mexican dollar's worth of something and hand the salesman an American dollar, he will give you back a Mexican dolla in change. This is because the Ameri can silver dollar under present condi tions is not genuine money. At the present price of silver bullion the silver in our dollar is worth only about 50 cents, and it ia kept up to a parity with gold only by the Treasury manipulation and by the laws making it a legal tender for all dues, public and private. As our coinage laws stand, we have no such thing aa bimetallism and the silver dol lar is practically an obligation of the Government redeemable in gold. In Mexico silver is the standard money .and it passes in the markets of the world at iU bullion value, just as our gold money does. St. Louis Republic. A Democratic Measure. The St. Louis Republic in answer to question by a correspondent says : The tariff oa sugar is mainly a revenue tax. and yet it was repealed by the McKin ley act, thus cutting off some $40,000 000 or $50,000,000 yearly of income from the Treasury, in order to harden the pro tective tariff taxes, whose purpose is to take money oat of tlie pockets of the people without patting it into the Treas ury. To make cr to the sugar planters of this country lor the Idas of incidental protection, this same McKialey act gave the planters a bounty of 2 cents a pound on all the raw sugar they made. This drew about $12,000,000 a year out of tut Treasury, in addition to the money al ready lost by the repeal ot the import tax on sugar. The new tariff act, com monly called the Wikon act, repealed the sugar bounty and put back a reve nue tax on imported sugar, thus helping the Treasury a-coming and a-going. Some of the planters claim that they ought to have the bounty for this year, as the new tariff law was not passed un til late in the planting season, but the law does not warrant payment of the bounty on the crop of 1894. Will be Voted On. The following senate joint resolutions were adopted at the 1893 session of the legislature and have again been adopted by the present assembly and will go be fore the electors of the state probably at a special election ; 'That section 10 of article XI of the constitution of the state of Oregon, be and the same is hereby abrogated, and in lieu thereof section 10 of article XI shall be as follows : "Article XI, section 10. No country, city, town, school district or other mun icipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount, including present existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for state and county taxes provlous to th3 incurring of such indebtedness." "That the following amendment to the constitution of the state of Oregon, in lieu of section 10 of article VII (7), be and the same is hereby proposed, to wit: Section 10.

It didn't take the senate long to com pletely aettle the Cakipoola county bill. Gettlag married ia a common thing but it is serious enough when - it takes place in your own family. The Oregon legislature has no finan cial sense. It spends several times as much for the same thing as an eastern legislator- The government is getting so it inter feres in nearly everything but express compamea. it aoema afraid oi tnem. They charge whatever t aey please and it is generally pretty high. Distance lends enchantment to the view, and Hawaii is a more wonderful country 2500 miles away than at close range, An even, monotonous tempera' tore, money tied up, big licenses on everything, give it its disadvantages as well as advantages. Glass is coming to the front. It is now playing an important factor in the manufacture of silver dollars. Five ten cent pieces gets the Daily delivered five weeks or by mail eight weeks. The vacillating condition of the pres ent house of representatives was shown yesterday when it defeated the bill for an appropriation ot $5000 tor a so-called normal school at Drain, and then im mediately reconsidered it and passed it 31 to 16. The Pacific Railroads. No subject before the American people to-day is ot more interest than that of the Pacific railroads, recently up before Congress in the Reilly funaing bil, fortunately defeated. The Jacksonville, Florida, Times gives the case in a plain way: The history of the legislation toucling these railroads is disgraceful to the con gressmen who were concerned in it, and who favored ft. The government made a clear present to the companies that were to construct these roads of 12,9(0 ac.es of land for every mile constructed. Let us suppose that when the roads were constructed these lands wera worth on ly dollar and a quarter per acre ; then the government made a clear gift ot $17,000 per mile to the roads. In addition to this the government guaranteed 6 per cent gold bonds to the extent of $16,000 per mile for that part of the road between the Missouri river aud the bate of the Rocky Mountains; $32,000 per mile from the Rockies to the Sierra Nevada mountains, and $16,000 per mile for that part of the road west of the Sierra Nevada. Thus in direct contributions and in endorsement of bonds the government bad contributed from $33,000 to $05,000 per mile to the construction of the road. A commission that was appointed to investigite the matter found that these roads had cost in cash $35,000 per mile. Thus there was not a dollar in them that the government bad not contrtbut ed. Their officers, however, bad gone into the business with a detirminaton to plunder, and represented that they were not able to complete the road with the land appropriation and the bonds endorsed, and asked permission to issue bonds of equal amount to that which the government had authorized for their completion. This was granted by a cor rupt congress, and a further isauo of bonds ranging from 116,000 to HS.000 per mile was authorized, and was given priority over the government bonds, which had before constituted a first mortgage on the road. Many of the officers of these roads be came millionaires through methods near ly aa dishonorable as bank burglary .They saddled on the roads debts amoantiag to three times their honest cost of con struction, while a complaisant congress made the government foot the bills. Big Pacific Coast Advantage. Here is something from theTscoma News that ia certainly encouraging for the farming interests of the Pacific Coast A good many public writers are calling attention to the condition of the Ameri can farmer, who has long held a place superior to that occupied by bis class in any other country of the globe; but whom, it is now claimed, is gradually passing away, as a representative. The American farmer stands distin guished as one who owns the soil be tills, and consequently able to maintain an in dependence and style ot living far above that possible to the European yeoman ry. He is, however, beginning to yield to the forces brought o bear upon him the creation of the landlord and classes having made considerable progress The diminution of the owning farmer class, and the increase of tenant farmers cannot be viewed with complacency The average tenant farmer has no future except one of increasing rtnt charges, and the sharper the competition for chances to earn a living the greater will be the rents exacted. Th'S will produce an agricultural population made up of hired laborers, poor and illiterate. It has already manifested its injurious effect upon the schools and roads of the Middle States. A lew figures from the last census, in this connection, are extremely interest ing to the Pacific slope. In six New England States the num. br of uwnintf farmer r!iniiniflhii 24.117 I and tenant farmers increased 7,246. In the four Middle States owners decreased 42,301 and tenants increased 24,075; in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the number of owning farmers decreased 3I.259,while the tenant farmers increased 48,864. like proportional cnange occurred in tb Southern and old Western Slates. For the Pacific States the figures are Increase in number of owning farmers, 60,512; increase in number of tenant iarmers, 20,350. The character of the agricultural ele ment, is therefore vastly superior here than eliewhere. The man who owns the laud he tills, has an abiding interest therein, which manifests itself in all those qualities miking the good citizen, and which are logically inhibited in the person of one whose sole interest is to locale wherever he can with the least labor keep body and soul together. The one Is a neigh bor to be depended upon in all matters of patriotism ; the other too often fails. The knowledge of these facts must prompt the desirable hometeekvr to lo cate with us. , All Issubancb Policies of The North west Fire and Marine Insurance Comp any covering property in Albany and vic inity will be re-written fn The New York Underwi iters Agency of the Hartford Fire Insurance Co. or other reliable com panies.
