A TALK WITH REID. Whitelitw Ileid arrived east on the 1st from a tour of tho Pacific states. In conversation with a reporter Mr. ll-i'vl said the Pacific coast was prosperous and the in termadiate states showel great progress. When askel how lie founl tli.ise states, politically, Mr. Rcid said: 'They will not separate them selves from the party on any po sition the great body of republi cans east of the Rocky mountains are likely to take on silver. fact, the people ot tna racmc coast believe in money that will pass current the world over, and are not so sensitive about silver as some of the newspapers might lead you to think. The only western states where the majority of the people believe in free coin age, or other extreme measures, and are in red hot earnest about it, are Nevada, Colorado, and pos sibly Idaho.51 Speaking of the present finan cial trouble, Mr. Reid denied that it is due to the condition in which the treasury wa3 left by the last administration, adding: "The low state is exactly what the supporters of the present ad ministration have most vehement ly demanded. They said the re publicans had been collecting and hoarding in the treasury the great and unnecessary surplus. Very well, the republicans revised their revenue system with the avowed purpose of bringingjiown that surplus to the legitimate wants of me government, economically ad ministered, and they did bring it down, as precisely as possible, to just that point. So long as they remained in power they had money enough in spite of the heavy foreign demand for gold. There has been no change since, excepting in the men responsible for the government. If people at home and abroad have not equal confidence in them and begin to draw, gold below the danger point, "you must not blame the 1.1:" u- nri.:i repuuiicaus lur nun. irmit; im-j were in power there was no gen eral fear that a parity could not be maintained and consequently therefore no serious run on us for gold.; "The question of a remedy for the" existing state of afiaias calls iui a ri:jaiiLiuii. aim lci iai mi v mauds the best wisdom of con gress. The man who undertakes to deal with it alone and chooses to meet a crisis without consulting congress must have either phe nomenal confidence in himself or a phenomenal lack of confidence in the government. Mr. Cleve land is a man of such common sense that one is forced to think that ho must have disquieting fears about the temper and ten dencies of his congress. But there can be no permanent im provement until business men and manufacturers can be relieved from the present uncertainty and the threatened radical changes in the currency, in the tariff and our reciprocity arrangements, and they pause till they know what the changes are. In scarcely any other country in the world is such a delay as the present one pos ible,T - The news comes from private court circles that Emperor Wil- h'am entertains a notion of visit ing the world's fair. The emperor has always shown great interest in America, and - it is owing to thfs personal interest that Germany is " so well represented at the Chicago fair., f-When the first proposition was made to the . manufacturers of the upper Rhine that they make exhibits they replied by a point blank refusal. . Ileoring this the kaiser made a personal matter of it. To the objections of the manufac turers, based on the McKinley law, lie replied that they should be above such considerations and should exhibit in a way creditable to Germany. The result is that that country will be finely repre sented, instead of being an absen tee. The emperor made it a point that the warship Kaiserin Augusta should be puslied forward in time to go to New York to take part in thereviewyso that the Americans should, see t lie latest and most modern type of a last cruiser. He, sanctioned'the national historical trophies being sent across'tlie At lantic, and it would' take- only a cordial invitation from the right quarter now to induce the kaiser to-follow them. The only ques tion is, where would Chicago house his-imperial majesty and his suite? yr. T.

The Inter-Ocean of the 27th in discussing the naval review which took place in New York bay on the same date says: "And in strange contrast to the redoubtable Blake, of England, the frowning Jean Bart, of France, the Giovanni Bausan and Kais- lerim Augusta, of Germany, or the Philadelphia ot the U. b. navy, will be the three caravels from Spain that will represent the three that vovased over unknown seas ami bade the new world 'Hail!" four centuries ago. Certainly the centuries between the age ot Columbus and our own have witnessed the greatest triumphs in naval architecture that history records. What the caravels of Columbus stand for will be much better .shown in the great exposition which will open its gates to the world next Monday morning than in the great naval reviaw to day, brilliant and im pressing as it will be. The glory of the United States, like that of Columbus, does not lie in her naval or military achieve ments, irlorious and honorable as they have been. Peace hath its glories no less renowned and farther-reaching even than thos3 of war and the nation of all others with which even the greatest European power would least care to grapple in conflict, whether upon sea or upon land, may well be content with the strong and enduring basis of greatness upon which its prestige rests, even though other nations in mere number and strength of naval equipment may outrank her -It is the enormous and incal culable reserve force of a great strong, prosperous nation that is always taken into consideration in weighing the chances of war, and while we are distincth' in lavor ot building up a navy that of itself will hold a rank com meusurate to that of the United States among the nations of the world, we do not share the nerv ousness ot those who JooU upon such a navy as indispensable to our national saletv and honor as regards European powers. Tin anniversary of the great com mander of the Union armies, that also falls upon to-day, teaches a lesson as to the capabilities of this republic tiiat is more lm- pressive than any navy, however formidable, the United States may yetequip. lhe lesson is re en forced bv the dedication of the Erickson monument at the Bat tery in New York Wednesday and will be still further illus traled in the great exposition so soon to open its doors of peace and point to still higher achievements in the future of all nations. ' THE OPENING DA Y. On May 1st the electric age was i ushered into being in this last de cade of the 19lh century when President Cleveland, by pressing the button, started the mighty machinery, rushing waters, and revolving wheels in the World's Columbian exhibition. No ex hibition of the fair that is (o at tract the thousands to Chicago for the next six months can be more marvelous than the magical effect following the solemn opening of the. fair. Of the multitude of visitors, some estimate the num ber as high as two hundred thous and, and probably not one fully realized the full import of the ef fect that was to come from the ar rangement cleverly devised in the opening of the exposition. It was known in a vague way that the president was to press a golden key and that electric communica tion with the machinery was to start the fair, but no one realized how intricate was this machinery; how infinite the ramifications of that electric spark until the great fountains threw up their geysers seventy feet into the air; and the rumble and hum of the wheels in the manufactures' building and the clatter of machinery in all parts of that area of. a mile square or more, told the story of the final consummation of scientific thought. The lifeless started in to being on every hand, draped statuary shed its veil and reveal ed to the world the artistic labors of the past eighteen months, and in a moment all that has been apathy and inert and inactive through the long hours of morn ing, sprang into animated exist ence and thrilled the multitude and crowned the triumph of the exposition. About the 2b'th ult. Edward R. Bunnell, a prominent farmer of Wallowa count v, killed his wife and daughter and then hanged himself. Bunnell was over fifty years ofjrge and the act is ascribed to-domestic trouble, an action for divorce having been commenced by his wife. Superintendent McEJroy has commenced compilation of school laws, which are to be published in pamphlet form for convenience- of clerks, directors and superintendents. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washixgtcn, April 24tli 1893. What is the financial policy ot the administration, or has it such a thing? These are questions that a good many people have asked during the week, and they are still unanswered, and will probably remain so for some time to come. That the cabinet was divided -upon the question of what should be done when the gold in the treas ury fell below the $100,000,000 held as a reserve fund is not denied eeereianes Carlisle aim liresliain and Atlornev General Olnev ad vising that no more gold be paid for what are known as treasury notes, which are payable in coin," and Mr. Cleveland and the rest of the cabinet (Hie. Smith and Herbert were absent) favor- ng their redemption m gold, winch was done. Whether the adoption of Sec. Carlisle's idea would have resulted in gold go ng to a premium is a question. The plan adopted was 6i'mply car rying out what Sec. luster, when at the head of the treasury, said le would do if the necessity arose therefor, rather than issue bonds. The reserve was only impaired one day, and the treasury has suf ficient "free gold" to meet all the demands expected this week. Thoughtful peopl regard the dis position, which unquestionably exists, to make the financial ques tion sectional, as a source of fu ture danger. It can certainly do no good to have Sec. Carlisle posing as the champion of the west and south as against Mr. Cleveland, who is claimed to stand for the east. Any finacial policy that is not for the entire United States is bound in the end to be disastrous to the administra tion that fathers it. A political party may, as every intelligent person knows, succeed in secur ing power by claiming in different sections of the country (o represnt different and opposite ideas, but a national financial policy can not be conducted on any such basis without a smash-up. The administration declined to act upon a hint that Max Judd, of St. Louis, formerly of Austria, would not be acceptable to the Austrian government as U. S consul general at Vienna, and it now finds itself confronted with the positive refusal of that gov eminent to receive him. It can not leave the place vacant, as was the case in the first Cleveland ad ministration when the Austrians declined to receive the U. S. min ister appointed by Mr. Cleveland, because large business interests required the constant presence at, Vienna of an American consul general. This is a clear case of obstinacy, as Mr. Judd might eas ily have been given another place as soon as it was Known thai he was objeclional to the Austrians, winch was as soon as his nomina tion was made public. Few republicans have any love for the man who changes his politics for the purpose of retain ing or getting an olfice. The ac tion of Post-master-General Bis sel in notifying S.J. Watt, post master at Columbus Georgia, who was originally appointed as a democrat by Mr. Cleveland dur ing his first administration, re-ap pointed by Gen. Harrison four years ago as a republican, and is now here seeking another re-ap point ment as a democrat, will be removed as soon Ins successor rs selected, gives general satisfaction The much talked about deci sion of Judge Ricks at Toledo Ohio, will this week be brough be fore lhe supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Engineer Lennon, who was sen tenced to prison thereunder. The labor organization will be rep resented by E. W. Harper, of Indiana, and ex-Congressman Ilurd, of Ohio. Christopher Columbus is on top this week. His distinguished de scendant, "the Duke of Veragua, is at present in Washington, the sruest ot the nation. . He was si ven a state reception at the white house to-day, and on Wed nesdav he and his party will ac company Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet to New York and fake part in the official ceremonies at tending the closing of the inter national naval review in New York harbor. The duke is de lighted with America as well as his reception by the American people, and he anticipates much pleasure in attending the Colum bian exposition. Mrs. Gen. Grant, now in Wash ington, it is said to remain per manently,' paid Mrs. Cleveland, a social visit oaiuruay, ai tne white house, and enjoyed renew- in": her acquaintance with scenes amid which she spent eight happy years. Mrs. Cleveland paid her marked attention; she has been her personal friend and ad mirer for some years.. The proposition to put ushers at the white house in livery has uefiti- so severely criticised that it may not be carried out, al though it was at first announced that it had been fully, determined upiM. "Americans are not fond of wearing liveries. PossoM 'S Seeds Grow ALSO HEADQUARTERS FOR , BEE SUPPLIES, FERTILIZERS. SPRAY PUnPS. ETC. NOTES AND NEWS.- Wellborn Beeson, an old and re spected pioneer of Jackson county, died at his home at Talent on the 29th ult. He leaves a wife and several children. It. is stated that it will be fully two weeks before the world's fair will be in full blast. The build ings are complete, but I lie delay is due to the tardiness of exhibitors. The exercises attending the re cent arrival at New. York, of the American and foreign vessels, was ushered in by unveiling in Bat tery park the statue of John Eric son, the builder of the Monitor, and whose genius revolutionized ma rine architecture and naval war fare. . Minister John L. Stevens, who has represented the United States in Hawaii since Mr. Blaine became secretary ot state, has resigned his post and will return to the United States in a short time, probably about May 15th. It is thought likely that President Cleveland will have selected his successor by the time Mr. Stevens is ready to leave for the United States. Sontag and Evans, fugitive train wreckers and all-round bad men, came out of the brush near Visalia on the 29lh and held up the Visa lia and Sequoia stage. These fel lows may yet form an attraction at the world's fair saloon to be con ducted by Frank James. Thev would also prove a drawing card for Buffalo Bill's wild west show, now giving performances in Chica go, in the act Which portrays the robbing of lhe mail coach. Oregon's fruit exhibit at the world's fair astonishes the natives and is one of the finest state dis plays on the grounds. In the cen ter of the space allotted to Oregon a great pyramid, fifty feet long and forty-five high, has been built. This pyramid is composed of thirty two different kinds of wood grown in Oregon, built in spiral shape with projecting ledges, upon which will be placed a variety of preserv ed fruits. The men had just start ed the p3rramid when the dray pulled up to the door containing an elegant picture which will be the background of the Oregon booth. This picture was painted by Stan ley, and portrays Mount Hood. Oregon's grand old snow-capped sentinel. A humiliating accident occurred a few days ago to the new coast defense vessel, Monterey, the pride of the Pacific states and 1 he glory of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco. The vessel was steam ing down from Mare island to San Francisco, and when off the pow der wharf she wasn't blown to atoms, shedidn't sink like a chunk of steel that she is; she wasn't bom barded by the cruiser of any snarl ing nation. Alt these things are really less astonishing than what really happened. The great war vessel ran into a fish net, got tangled up and vas anchored hard and fast lor twenty four hours. If she had run on to the Farallones, full head, she couldn't have set more solidly. The services of di vers-Aere required to finally free her. Conjectures are rife as fo the great field this incident opens up m naval a Hairs. The idea ol building a line-of forts up and down the Pacific coast to batter in the sides of menacing war vessels may now be given up. Stretch nets in steai. The mishap of the Monte- rev argues in their favor.. BY RUNNING SORE Worst Sight Ever Scrn. IS, Hands Arm, Body One Solid, Deep, Running Sore.
