Newspaper Page Texti Washington Letter. ' From cur regular Correspondent. Washington, Jan. 27th, 1806. President Cleveland has no occasion to worry because his patriotic foreign poli cy fails to meet the approval of men like Senator Wolcott, of Colo., wuen their speeches of alleged criticism are followed by such extraordinary votes of confidence as the adoption of the Armenian resolu tion by the senate was. There are al ways a few men who delight in taking the wrong side of every question, but congress as a whole is now, as it has been from the first, solidly behind the administration, regardless of party poli tics, in maintaining a patriotic policy in all our dealings with foreign countries. If the deadlock on the House tariff bill continues in the finance committee after the free coinage bill ia disposed of it is probable that the Davis-Monroe doctrine resolution, which was last week favora- blv reported from the committee on Foreign relations will be made the on finished business of the Senate until it is adopted. Senator Allison, of Iowa, has always been known as a dodger upon all finan cial Questions, and now that be bas allowed himself to be announced as a candidate for the Republican Presiden tial nomination, he will dodge more than ever. The friends of the other candidates are determined to make him goon record either for or against that free coinage substitute for the Houee bond bill, or to openly convict him of , dodging it. Few quicker pieces of official work , have been done under the Federal gov ernment than the removal of U. S. Marshal Nix. of Oklahoma, and the nomination of Patrick Nagle to be hia successor. Some time ago Attorney General Harmon put examiners at work npon the charges which had been made against Marshal Six. Those examiners reported hica guilty of having shaved the pay warrants of hia deputies greatly to hia personal profit. He was removed by telegraph and in less than ten hours the name of his successor had been sent to the senate. - Since Secretary Mortor assumed charge of the Department of Agriculture, he has saved out of the money appro priated by congress for the support of that department 1,430,000, and a con eiderable earn will - be added to that amount at the close of the current Cecal year. The House committee on Agri culture has decided to utilise this money by erecting a new building for the Agri cultural department which has outgrown the one it now occupies, which was built when the department was only a small bureau of the interiordepartment. It is proposed that work on the new building shaK begin early in the coming fiscal year. Senator George, ot Miss., who will after March 4th, 1897, be succeeded in the senate by Representative H. D. Money, eaya of Mr. Money : "I know him well and have known him since his boyhood. He has been dt neighbor for many years. Our intercourse and com munications on political subjects have been frequent and confidential. I have bad opportunity to judge the man from every point of view. He ia of unblem ished honor and of the strictest integrity Hia native ability is of the beet, and hia courage, moral and phyeical, unques tioned. He had my sympathy in his race for the senate, although I took no step to secure his election." Ex-Boss Clarkson, of the Republican National committee, was in Washington when Mr. Harrison was, last week, but be did not call on him. In fact, it is pretty well known that the two men are not in love with each other. Clarkson has never forgiven Mr. Harrieon for re fusing to make him Secretary of the In terior in 1SS9, and loses no opportunity to put obstacles in the way of Mr. Har- ' ri son's political ambitions. Representative Cowen, of Md , who bas been elected president of the B and O. B. R , will not take any further ac tive part in the legislation of the bouse, but being a member of the house com mittee on Banking and Currency,he will not resign until be has completed some data be has been working on in connec tion with a bill to place the U. S. treas ury npon a sound basis. The democrats of the bouse will loee a valuable man when he goes. Sorrowed Alining Items. Gold is tieins; produced in 30 out of the 57 counties in California. Ore bas teen found at Pike's Peak No. at fifty-five feet, which assayed $140. The Virginia Dale mining district in San Bernardino county, Cal., is coming to the front. The Gold Cross mine at Hedges, San Diego, Cal., is now milling 300 tons of ore per day. Work has been resumed on several idle mines near Kettle Falls, Wash. It Ha expected that the silver Queen will be largely developed the coming year. The Seattle Placer Mining Company rscently purchased the Shinar mine, on Tnompsou Creefc, SieHyoo county Cal., and is mating extensive improvements. The old Buuker Hill mine, near Happy Camp, Siskiyou county, California bas been sold for $I0,C00. The new owners are planning its extensive development. Ia the territory adjacent to Dead woe d, South Dakota, there are 1,703 mines at work. List year at this time the total was 1,533. The gold and silver mines near Kinsey, 1 Dorado county, Cal , has resumed operations, after an idleness of about sixteen years. , It is rrpjrtcd that the Suffolk Globe Mining Company at Ophir, Col., will build a large addition to Us forty-stamp mill next scanner, increasing its capac ity to 100 stamps, and that the prod nr.. tioc of the mines wili be proportionally vmargau. a. rrost-cai tunnel IS in pro gress from the Bed Jacket to the Suffolk vein, which will cut it at a depth of 700 feet below the present working. When the intersectfou is mule the Suffilk can then be worked the year round through the underground workings, and the depth to which snow may fall will not interrupt the operations what vt-r, as in the past. ' A strike of very rich or is reported to have been made on the Nevereweat quartz ledge, in the Willow Valley dis trict, Nevada county.Cal. I; h thought that the discovery will beneiit tin; wbole action. ;'' In sinking a new shaft in the old Sil ver King mine, near Phoenix, Pinal county, Arl., a pocket was recently dis covered from which $40,000 in silver ore was obtained. Fresh machinery is to be put in the mine. Pr. Price's Cream Baiting Powds J World's cir Highest Awa" County Politics. Albany. Or., Feb. 3rd, 1896. Editor Democrat : In your issue of Jan.Slst a corres pondent signing himself, "A Democrat, wants to know what Las oecome oi w democratic party in Linn county r i ne democracy of old Linn in my opinion is alright. Those deleated two years ago are by no means dead. It will be re membered that two years ago it turn ished votes for two tickets, amounting in the aggregate to 2S00 votes. The repub lican party which slipped in between the two received 1600 votes aud up wards. Now the Question ia, will this occur again? This county, on a square issue between democrats and republicans, Is about 800 democratia. Now can there be an understanding whereby there will be but two tickets in the field, and put a stoo to 17 deputy sheriffs, levying on nranertv for delinquent taxes where the owners hold receipts; 18& deputy asses sors and many other things too numer ous to mention. In short, it now costs twice as much to run this county as it did under the good old days of demo cracy . I have heard it hinted that some democrats two years ago voted there- nnhliean ticket to keep the populists out If such was the case I imagine you could not get such an expression out of one of them with a club After , the most infamous legislature that ever convened in the state, that spent more money for female clerks than the entire costs of former legislatures, members of this county simply acting and voting with the great ruling power of Portland, consisting of Simon, Dolph Corbett, Scott & Co., the high banded extravagance ot the county court togeth' r with its partisanship, to the extent that in some precincts democrats have no judges and clerks of election.uotwith Standing the fact that Mr. Duncan was elected by democratic votes, in view of all thess facts if any democrats were voting the republican ticket before they will not do so again It is true the democratic party ia some what disoiyanixed.princi pally on account of the financial question, arising from the fact that the president is advocating the single gold standard. The platform on which he was elected and all previous platforms of the party and the actions of the democrats in the house and senate of the United States have been for bimet" alism. That ia the free coinage of gold and silver at li to I, The president has stopped the coinage of ailver end is try ing to destroy the greenbacks. His proposition to issue goli bonds and to destroy the greenbacks was overwhelm ingly defeated by the derr-ocra'ie house The present house of representatives. which is almost unanimously republican, adhered to recommendations and passed a bill authorising the unlimited issuance ot bonds, (as you well know the repub lican party is the author of bono?.) $1 democrats out of 03 voted against the bill, and the gallant statesman, ex speaker, of Georgia, declared in his speech in opposition to the bill: "That it was undemocratic, uncalled foi and that there was now three times as much money in the treasury as was required for the running expenees o! the govern ment, provided the government would coin it up and use it." Thus we see the president has departed from the tradi tions of democracy, but Mr. Cleveland's tune will soon be out and democracy will have new leaders and genuine principles. and victory will soon agi in perch on its banner. The bouse of representatives in 1S93 will again be democratic. The Oregon ian has virtually admitted this. The democratic party is not dead . We ahonld not allow one man to drive us out of the party The democratic party is immortal ; it will live and live forever. If' this government stands it must stand on principles as laid down by Jef ferson and Jackson, the fathers of dem ocracy. Equal rights to all and special privil eges to none, the greatest good to the greatest number. The democracy of Linn county is So good fighting trim. The county central committee have already had one very interesting meeting and will meet again In a few dars and issue a call for a con vention. It is their purpose and inten tion to nominate men of character and ability for various county officers, who will espouse and defend their cause be fore the people of the county The republicans may, however have one advantage over us in regard to plat form, as the Oregoaian bas already writ ten their 'a, which is as follows; The republican party both for principlo and interest believes in high taxation for the benefit of public officials. It pledges itself to stand against all efforts to redact public offices and salaries. It insists that officials who put up money for campaign funds should be rewarded We congratulate the people of the state on the defeat of all efforts by the last legislature to cut down salaries and ofli ees. We point with pride to the num erous items and the granJ total of the appropriation bill and. may the Lord have mercy upon the poor souls of the people of Oregon. Tzocat. Carlisle In 1878. I shall not enter into an examination of the causes which have combined to depreciate the relative value of silver, and to appreciate the value of gold since 1873, but I am one of those who believe that they are trat stent acd temp r try in their nature, and tnat wben they have passed away or have been removed by the sep nate or united actions of the nations most deeply interested in the subject, the old ratio of ae'ual and relative value will be re-establii ied on a firmer loan elation than ever. I know that the worm s stock ot preciouc metals :s none too largo, and 1 see no reason to appre hend that it will ever become so. Mao.. kind will be fortunate, indeed, if the annual production of gold and ailyi r coin shall keep pace with the annnal increase of population, commerce an J industry, According to my view of the subject, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed bere and in Europe tj destroy by legislation and otherwise from three sevenths to one-half the metallic money of the world is the most g!gantic erlme of this or any other age. The consummation of ruch a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than al! the wars, pestilence and famine that ever occured in the history of the world. The abso lute and instantaneous destruction ot half the movable property of the world, including horses, ships, railroads aud all other appliances for carrying on com merce, while it would be felt more sensi bly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and disorganization of society that must in evitably result from the permanent annihilation of one-half of the metallic money of the world.

A great burden baa been lifted from the public mind. Benjamin Harrison will not run for president. Instead be will get married, which in some respects is equal to a presidential campaign. There is business in Albany for about one justice of the peaco and not for three. Why would it not be a good idea t have one city district This bas been suggested to the Pexockat and has some reason at the back of it. The justice courts all over the state are a great burden to the taxpayers. They are run largely for the few at the ex pn?e of the people who pay the Usee Pnadleton E. O. "That's what." and it is a reminder that men should be elected in una county who will not bold every Tom, Dick and Harry for the grand jury atti a week board when the evidence does not justify it. The senate committee on appropria tions yesterday agreed to report the pen sion appropriation bill. As it came from the house this bill carried $141,325, 829. The senate oimmittee added f32. 850, of which 50,000 was for fees and expenses of examining surgeons. Verily onr government is a liberal one. There are many men who deserve some of this big sum, and there ate some who do not. A case occured in Spokane that bad the material for a tragedy, which ended in about as much toogoe smoke as one often bears of : Sheriff Rinear tried, so it is said, to put up a job on ex Deputy Bartholomew by allowing a woman, who ia supposed to be nnder arrest, to carry a note to the ex-deputy containing a pro position that if he would deliver a key which won Id nolock the iail ha won Id hm piid 4 .i,, ,um o( money. The idea i of the sheriff, Bartholomew a' leges, was to get him into trouble and possibly in prison for planning a jail break. Yes terday the sheriff and the ex-dVpoty met A wordj war ensued. The lie was given several times. Bartholomew finally said that if be found proof positive that the sheriff had jobbed him, he would fix the sheriff. The sheriff then said ; "What would you do? Would you shoot?" v "Yes, and quick," replied Barth olomew. "Well, you can't commence any too' soon to snit me," said the sheriff. The ex-deputy replied savagely : "Yon just wait, . if I find I am rignt I will kick your ribs, in," The two men finally parted without coming to blows. A Democrat's Ideas. Oa Cheek, Feb R&tcr Democrat: 3rd, 1S06. I see in your paper of Jan. 31, '96, an article headed "To Litin County Demo nrats,' and as he wanted to hear from lb j brethren down tbe line, I suppose that bas reference to me, as I am one of the brother democrats of old Linn. 1 think that "Democrat" hits tbe nail on the head in that article. I want to em phaefse tbe fact right here that if the people of this country get any redress from any political party, that paty will be the democratic party, a party that bas gone through thick and toin, a party that has been ridiculed, mocksd at, yea spat npon j a party that has always contended earnestly for the faith (prin ciples) that was once delivered to tbe American people. It seems to me that sncb a party would last-nntil the last Mho of Gabriel's trumpet bad long since d;ed away, that party is the detncratic party. Our opponents tell ns that the democratic party is dead. Ask them who tbe party is.and they say Cleveland, Carlisle & Co. When two armies engage in a battle an J to or three iren oa one side get killed, is the whole army dead? We are willing to admit that possibly Clevelan d and Carlisle may have made mistakes, but we do not admit that they are the democratic party. tVe read in oMen times that one said a certain per son was dead, and it was immediately disputed by one that knew, when he said that "she ouly sleepeth.'' Now, brother democrats, lets arise and proclaim from the house tops and from every nook and corner in old Linn that we are neither dead nor asleep; that we are alive and wide awake; that we will unfurl our banner, having inscribed as our motto: "Old Linn for the Democratic party or bust." I now appeal to our populist friends and ask tbem to stop and think before it is eternally and everlastingly too late. They have said time and again that the republican party was wrong. Do they mean it? Surely they do not, or tbey would not act as tbey do, for actions speak louder than words. They only tend to divide the democratic party, and when that is done it giyes tbe republi cans clear light. Now, friends, consider these facts. If you want the party in power that you have always said was right, then slay with os.couusel with us; and last, but not by any means the least. act with us, for at the polls is the place a id time that one needs help that is running for office, . I A Bbothsb Pkmocrat. MISFITS. The populists ot Jackson county have called their primaries and county con' vention for Feb. 9 and 18, both on Sun day. Was it premeditated or an accid ent. C. P. Burkhart, who has been in Ta- coma thinks that city is all right, though in a fix financially. Its improvements nave cost a good deal of money, but tl are good ones, and its importations are third in sine in the U. 8., New York be ing first, San Francisco second and then Tacoma. Besides business is improving. In view of the fact that everybody is hit ting that city we publish this with pleas- ure. The Morning Oregon ian is just 85 years old today. Its I u le m nas been an eventful one, and today after a successful strife it stands at the head in the Northwest, as it has always done. Errrafic but able editorally, it is entitled to great credit as a newspaper, for it has steadily refused to adopt the sensationally paddled style of the metropolitan press. Its reliabil ity as a news givor is tar above the aver age, Ix yd Montgomery in the Examiner confession accuses '.he papers of unjust treatment, a very riaicuious accusation. It would be very difficult to be unjust to a person who had killed his own mother and lather and a peaceable neighbor because he bad been scolded, a mild ex perience in the life of every boy. But Justice has now been done, and it will be the purpose of the Democrat as much as possible to drop the subject. We have had enough of it. Another picture ot Loyd Montgomery appears in the Sunday's Examiner, lie is sitting at a small stand in suppers in that same horrid 14th century cell with its stone wall and small window, with a candle on his stand. In view of the fact cauuio uu ins Hianu. in m that the Albany jail is Ugh tricity and Montgomery's open steel latticed one the hted by elec- s cell was an open stevl latticed one the picture is larce. The advice under the picture given by Montgomery to young men, will not be recognised by any one. Sensation and not reliability is the order of the metropolitan prses. The fat editor of the Salem Post brinos into play some of his remarkable fund of satire at the expense ot the editor of tbe Democrat. "It appears that our friend the editor of tbe Albany Democrat, haa attended the hanging of Loyd Montgom erv. We are a little eamriMaJ at. thia Wis thought our friend was such a tnilJ manneredjman that the siUt of a slaught ers uiicaeu wuuiu put uuu into spurns. that we were miatakenl bas the "temerity" to i oik it now seems tnat wc in our man.

Senator MiuLeH, iq a free coinage speech In tbe senate, stated that "our foreign indebtedness during the patt 5 years bad greatly incit-ased, "r.oisl. standiog tbe fact that, during the time, there was a balance of trade in onr favor In merchandise of $1,753,500,000, beeides silver exports of f 356,311, 625, and gold exports of t27l,lM,72l." And then Le proceeded to point out the can ot this state of affairs in these words : "The cause, is that this vast balance ot trade in our favor dwing this period, in mer chandise, gold and silver, has gone to foreign lands, mostly to Europe, to meet tne expeoses of freight charges in onr carrying trade And to pay tbe interest on our foreign Indebtedness and the expanse of travel ot Americans to F.arope. This is the manner in which tbe dbt has b?en created and is constantly accumu lating, and we are unable to meet tbe interest, much less the principal, tor the simple reason of the great depression in the value of onr exports since 1673-" MARRIED.
