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

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.;

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?

LESSON OF THE NAVAL REVIEW.
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.

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.

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..
