Ai.yone wishimi to get some potn(d, timely ideas on r olitice, and partico'.arly primaries can ao so in me tune occ c 01 Hon. r. uoier, 01 aiem, on - a oe o-,uooi of Politics." As the subject Is an interesting- one we give a few quotations. Our system e almost perfect. hence comes tbe greai source of fraud and political corruption? From the packed primaries, and Kanipnialioos'cf political machines rendered possible thereby all over oar country- The criminal politics of our cities, that contain nearly one-thud of the ooDulation of our country, extends into and corrupts our state anil national gov ernment. The primary is the source whence springs all political power. If tbe source is viUated, bow can tbe stream of our national life be otherwise than impure, corrupting and finally destroc live to our government? The answer to this inquiry is: The corrupted primary is tbt political crime of the country. The spoils politician readily replies to all arguments for a reform in our system of holding primaries tor nominating conventions, "llow areyou going to get the people to attend the primaries?" Lst it be said, the people in an? large nambers are not wanted at the primaries b tbe spoils politician. If out of a p miotic sense ot duty they turn out in any nntabar, these bosses K r revenue see to it that they are not permitted any freedom ot expression, that a slats i pre pared for them, that tbe officers of tbe primary are there not to record the hon est effort of tbe d.sinteiested citizen but the dishonest effort of the interested boss. The primary laws in some of the states go so far aa to compel tbe eitizer to receive tbe printed ticket directly from the bands of the primary official immediately before be votes, ana no other ticket is permitted to be used there. No real reform of this abuse is possible until tbe people are aroused to see that in alio eing interested parties to conduct their primaries tbey are really surrendering their mast important pol itical ptivilege, the right to say who shall be the candidate of the party whose principles tbey espouse. When it is said that tbe packing of the primaries ought to be stopped, we are met with tbe objection that the people will not torn oat to vote at tbe primar ies. Hence the boss is a necessity. He attends to these matters and gets out enough voters to carry bit slates, and re wards himself out of tbe spoils ot office Dy making up the ticket tbe peopli af terwards turn out well ennogh to vote Tbey consider , voting a patrio'ic doty. But tbey dislike to take a band in the management of practical politics, it is said, fhe term pslit'cian is odious. To retrain from meddling with politics is considered quite a virtue. So we bave expensive campaigns tu get out a full vote of the people to rat'fv a ticket that was put up by the action of one-tenth or one-twentieth of the party, that tben becomes responsible for the actions of the few. Well Stated. Tbe National Bimetalist gives the sit uation in tbe following very convincing manner: Tbe real trouble with eilver is in the bullion, not tbe coin . By closing the mints of Europe and America to that meta', while they remain open to gold as already explained, tbe gold b as risen reetly in valne. Ia fact, it has about doubled in purchasing power, while ail ver bullion remains ?ery nearly t ho same as before. For this reason silver coin is not available for shipment abroad Measured by gold, when melted down it loses nearly one-balf its value. It is, therefore, no longer an international money metal, as it was prior to' 1873 Then, everywhere, silver and gold were practically linked together at the French coining rate (15 to J), and tbe whole world was, in effect, b'.metallic. A debt in gold standard England could be paid with a bar of silver bullion at about the French mint price. A debt insiher standard Germany could be paid with a bar of gold at tbe same rate. The ag gregate mass of gold and silver, welded together, as it were, by the action of the bimetallic countries, constituted tbe world's standard of value. Bat when the mints were closed to silver the two metals drifted apart; the par ot exchange was broken, some of the nations adopt ing the single gold standard, while others adhered to silver, two distinct and ever-varying standards were estab lished, ft has been demonstrated, over and over, that this gives the silver using countries the advantage in international trade.--Their standard remaining un- cbangea, they can afford to sell their products in gold standard countries for the same amount in silver, which means half-price in go'd. We bave to do the same thing, because we can get no more than our competitors. This has operat ed to depress the prices of our farm pro ducts even below those of manufactured goods and placing the American agri culturist at a great disad vantage. The silver men believe, and think they prove, that the United States, by throw ing open its mints, can restore eilver to a parity with gold at our ratio of 16 to 1. That tbe moment we do this every other nation must pay our mint rate for silver or not get it ; and, as a reec It, silver will be substantially at par with gold the world over. Under such cinutnHanu) s it would make no difference to us which metal went abroad, for one would be as good as the other. Now,' however, a small shipment of go'd almost frightens ' the financiers of the Country out of their seven senses, and the blighting effect is 1 elt In every qnarter of the country. of the Situ- Plainvuw, May 20, 1SWJ. Editor Dtmocrat: Republicans in this part of the cout ty are going to rebuks McFeron and the Herald for the unprincipled and vicious means to which they have resorted in the present campaign. . . It was not only the right but the ab solute duty of the Democrat to investi gate and to state the true conditions and if McFeron has been wrongfully charged it was for him to defend himself In a manly and honorable way, by deuying and offering an explanation which tie has never done. The Heraftl attacks personally a good and bonorabls citisen that we all have anowo for 30 years, be cause he is an oppoeing candidate and goes so far e to stoop to gross and wilful misreprestntaions while on the same sheet it admit the charges as true in the following labguage: "The sheriffs charges for boarding prisoners may have been a am cettsloo high but tbe amount is so trivial as to make McFeron's tra duce re look mighty small. '' Now the defense for the above is "that Jackson a former sheriff under a differ ent law got as much aud Henry Blakely drinks and was indicted 23 years ago for stealing cattle." If the Herald's admis sions are true McFeron has committed a great offense for no sheriff ever assumed his duties under more sacred p.edges of j economy and reform. In coumeotlug upon that indictment lbs Herald says: "In order that, tbe public may know for a certainty tbe whole, truth in tbe mat tet. we publish etc., which is followed by a copy of tbe indictment, and tben it winds np with, "How the case was dis posed or, whether Blakely forfeited his bond or whether it was dismissed by some other proceeding does not appear." When tbe Hera'd made tbe openinit statement it uttered an untruth which it proved by lying in the last statement. It it wanted the public to know tbe whole truth it would state that the ease was dismissed because it does appear so on the records and the Herald knows it. The intemperate part of this controversy may be briefly summed np as follows: U tbe sheriff is to be only a figurehead, and the deputies do all tbe business, then it is the character' of he deputies we.niust look out tor because tbe sheriff only draws bis salary and is sure to at tend to that in any event. One of the foremost and the one that baa stood at the McFeron helm the last year owns stock in a ore aery at Aioany, and was setting up tbe drinks, evideolls in McFeron a interests, in Lebanon tbe evening of the Tongue speaking. An other in the Forks of the Sauiiam gets drunk, runs scrub horse races aud figbts on Sunday. Any oneeoutf have seen this last summer that was rusticating at the fashionable watering place of Water loo. This is Only spoken of to prove that we might elect a nice motal and re ligious officer and get a a biskey admin iatrstiott. The men from Brownsville who signed their names to a itaierueni that they never saw Henry Blakely under the influence of liqtor stand above re proach and soma of them are known to be radical temperance men. The cor respondent in the Uerali from Browne Title told tbe truth when be said tbey were men that never visited saloons but be drew his band pretty strong when be said they bad no chance to see Blakely nnder the Influence of whiskey In the last 40 years if be drank to any extent. All men have equal rights and can aspire to office and in so doing sorely an tagonize but any man that is fit or com petent for ao officer will only strive to forward bis Interests bv fair means Republicans are going to vote for Heniy Blakely and populists are invited to help awett the majority and elect man with as good natuial qualifications for tbe place as aoy mm ever nominated by any party iu Lino county. A RarrBUCAX. The above Is written by a republican just as it profrses to be, an 4 as it is in tbe character of a cross examination simply covering tbe matter of an official record we give it place. The Scio Press, a strong People's party paper, is a remarkably fair newspaper, ran in a clean manner. Here is a splen did example: In the Ai-Baxr Democsat of this week will be found a complete explanation of tbe indictment business that waa published with. so much eclat by the Albany Herald upon Henry Blakely, democratic nominee for sheriff. Blakely indicted. So -can any inno cent man be indicted if any one can be found who ia willing to perjure himself to do so. As soon as Blakely knew that there was aa indictment against blm in Umatilla county, be immediately went to the proper anthoritiea and surren dered himself, giving bonds for his ap pearance at court. When court met, tbe Indictment waa dismissed and Mr. Blakely set at Iiberry without a stain against bis name. The man who pro cured tbe indictment was afterwards arrested for crime and sent to tbe pen! tentlary for tbe term of two years. These facts are substantiated In the Dkmocbat by affidavits from both the cleik of Uma tilla county and Wm. Blakely, the man trom whom tbe cattle was said to liars been stolen. We publish the above,, in justice to Mr. Blakely, believing that it is tbe duty of every newspaper, when an hon orable man is maliciously charged with the commirsion of a cri ie when he Is entirely lnnoceni to assist tn relating tbe accusation. Jt bas been stated on tbe campaign that tbe over charges of tbe sheriff were only a few cents or dollars. In the matter of illegal fes ia tne board of prisoners alone tbey mon nave footed up about '2d), though tile disapptrance of three big bills makes it impossible to give tbe exact ain iuut. Tbe overcharge waa deliberate, thoiifti and it is imma terial if it had been munh smallsr. As already stated the total overcharges were undoubtedly over $1000, it being impossible to give the exact figures, nor is that material. These things have not been denied. It has been said the charges for mileage, board, unauthori zed expenses were mae in order that tbe sheriff might not loose anything In the office, aud it has been said on the campaign, the Dkmocrat has just been informed, that the sheriff has nothing to show financially for the office, a fact which is known to be nntrue. He bas considerable to show for it. I Here is some Marion county pleasant ry from tbe Post: Mr John Lewis, can didate for assessor, broke loose sgsin the o'herdayat Stayton He maue such a vigorous and pathetio appeal to the ladies for their moral support, that even Parson Baikley shrunk to the dimen sions O a small boy, W J D'.Vrcy wept like a child, and McKinley Mitchell be came to excited that he struck lhe chair man on the head with a potato that he was carrying around for a sample.

How to rpell government- How the sun has shone during the past week. One can hardly realize that we have just passed tbrongh a rainy sea son that seemed to have no end. Now we have almost begun to wonder if it will ever rain again. In a few days we will hear a dxmand for water to: the crops. After all water is the greatest blessing In this country. This is decoration day. Honor has bsea paid to the brave dead. It is a beautiful annual custom made more im pressive as the graves increase and the number of veterans decrease. When the flowers are Dion in bloom, and na ture assists, we 'pAt flowery tribute to de parted friends. Too much respect can not be paid to thoe remaining, and they should receive our warmest considera tion. The day a well Is a proper time to beaotify all gravea and drop a tear in memory of the departed. We have ben reading during the past week with horror of the devastating cy clones that have been sweeping unfeel ingly and madly through llu eaH in savage blasts tearing down and destroy ing, taking life ruthlessly. We have the greatest sympathy lor them, but at the same time rannot help congratulating ourselves upon tbe fact that the cyclone never flings iteetf through this lovely valley. We get rain and gentle breezes, but no cyclones. We re cyclone proaf. and our crops never fail. "To thine ownself be true and it mast follow as lhe day the night thou canst then'be false to no man." We need more of that spirit in the world, and with It we would have a more honest and npright citizenship Nat aelBthly true to yourself but loyally. It takes a long time - to learn to spell government with an n to esy nothing of tbs pronunciation ; bat tbe older one gets the poorer ooee spelling sometimes. Lcnz's Death. The following is a graph 'c account of tbe death of Frank G. Lena, the bicy clist who patted through Albany several years ago on hia trip aroond the world : About Ave miieesrorn Tcbe.kani is a p'ace called Top':k," which means knoll. This was 00 the hiahway and marked the division between the lands of the lehelkani village and Muasori. Besides this mound ran a sa.all rivulet. In tbe spring of 139 all the streams of Ateshgerd were unusually high and the small rivulet which fijwed past this mouou waa swollen to quite a striata several feet deep, while In tbe fall it is perfectly dry. Tbe rainy weather and sampy country made matters worse for Lena, so that be could not tide bis wheel in the deep mod. At this knoll tbe seven murderers awaited their victim. Lens arrived at Top:k and was preparing to cross when tbe Kardi attacked htm. One ot them, either Nabooe or Ma.oiouJ, suJJenly drew bis sword and cut Lent severely in the right hand, breaking bis arm, so that be eould not draw bis revolver. Leu begieed tLern not to kill him, say ing. "Ben Ua-solmia" -I I! be a Mo stem, take all I've git. but spwre me." Moostoee eaid: "Don't kill him; I to'-d yoa to rob him." The-eopoo the KarJs seized him with his baggage and took biro, wounded as he was, across tbe fields about twenty minute' wa'k to the right bank s tbe llopi 1 River, about halfway between Tcbelkani aud Shaw tan. Here they robtwj him ot everything, and at Mooetoee'a ordr pat him to death with their ar!re, eo that he cou'd not reveal their Dim-, acd threw his body into the II spat li ver. On this spat were found ao inner tabe ot hia bicve'e, the grojad glass and sev eral large adjastint screws and a brass rod with two small cogwheel from bis camera and ban Jful of gelatine film, while on the saddle gin ha of Moostoee 's bono were seen tbe outer raober cast ings aa a protecUon to the horse's belly when the straps were tightly drawn. tlis hottest tbe last mght in Tcbel kanl, the wifeof Pareeglt, about a month later saw a ferein coat on Moostoee's young son, which she recognised as Lent's, and the r vol ver, which was lying on tbt floor that night, they taw in Moostoee's poseaaion, wbo had not yet learned to open it. We do not believe the Republicans of Linn county will vote for a man for sheriff who on bis own record stands con victed of charging contrary to law and thereby taking from the county treasury of Linn eon sty in one single month seventy three dollars more than he is legally entitled to. The confession of bis friends snd of himself that it is onlv a small stnornt is not true. The record shows that such statements and confes sions are false. Neither is it tme that because the coonty court finally allowed the bills that McFeron should be ex cused. The offente consisted lu knowingly charging for hia official services in plain violatioo of the statots of this state the offense wss cermitted before the bill was passed on by the court. The courts action could not legalise an illegal charge nor nullify a criminal statute. Because the court acted contrary to the statute iu allowing the bill did t,ot in aay way escute McFeron's violation ot a statute governing- him In the Tasking of his charges. Do the people desire to uphold such a Dlaln undoubted violation of law sim ply because McFeron has beea re-nomi nated. If ne knowingly Illegally cnsrgs l nve dollars too much, is it not as bad as if he had charged more. it would take hundreds of dollars to replace what he has gotten by illegi cnargmg. me records snow mat s.'nce 1 SSnt a a . a a he went in office he bas paid off one mortgage and has moneys loaned out, the mortgage record showing that he loaned thirteen hundred dollars in one loan This is no personal fight -against McFeron.

In fact it The Pkxocs.at has received a letter from J. P. (jueener, of Lyons, in which he writes up Mr. O. B. Uartmus in a very lively manner in answer to liart mus' article in the Herald charging Queener with writing a former letter in order to extort whiskev money from him. which be brands as a falsehood and then proceeds to show up Mr. Uartmus in a suoulder striking manner, giving per sonal incidents, in fart in detail bis life up tbe Santiam: bis removal to Port land, and bis coming back after the Mmon-Cory fight. On account of a lack of space and the very personal character of the letter we refrain from publishing it, even though th e writer probably tells considerable truth.

One of the greatest disasters of recent years overwhelmed tbe city of St. Louis tonight in tbe shape of a cyclone, which began shortly ater 6 o'clock and for 30 minutes tore in an awfid way through tbe city at the rate of over 80 miles an hour. Although reports from there are very meager, due to the almost total de struction of tbe telegraph wires, it seems certain the number of dead and wounded will amount to fully 1000, and the damage 10 minions or dollars. lhe city hospital, which, forlnnatelv survived tbe torm, is filled to overflowing w,lu u.avw'tt win, women ana children, and the morgue, within two hours after tha end of the storm, was so full of corpses that it was necessary to provide other quarters for Ibe reception of the dead. In addition to those who were killed in their houses and in tbe streets, hundreds of tbe dead are beneath the waters of the Mississippi river. Kaksas Citt. May 27.
