AN ABSURD REPORT.
It is reported that the repub
licans of the house and senate
will give no help to the Cleveland
democrats in their efforts to repeal
the Sherman silver purchase act
of 1890, but will allow the admin
istration to be discredited by its
failure to command the support
of a majority of its party for a
distinctively administration meas
ure. The report is probably with
out foundation.' The Sherman
silver purchase act was not a
measure of which John Sherman
or nine-tenth3 of the republicans
in congress approved. Mr. Sher
man ha3 recently stated that it
was a desperate choice between
the passage ot a free silver coin
age act or the compromise meas
ure of July, 1890. The free silver
democracy in the senate together
with a dozen free silver repub
licans had a clear majority, but
they finally consented to the pas
sage of the silver purchase act of
1890, because under it the govern
ment doubled its purchases of
silver, and this they believed
would stiffen the fallen market
for silver.
The Sherman act was really
Hobson?s choice for the anti-free
silver coinage republicans, and
was accepted only as a break
water against a tidal wave of free
silver coinage. The Sherman act
has utterly disappointed the free
silver men who voted for it, for
under it the price of silver has
ateadily fallen. John Sherman in
the fifty-second congress strongly
favored the repeal of the Sherman
act. Henry Cabot
Lodge,
of
Massachusetts, favors
In the last session
Reed of Maine and
its repeal,
Thomas B
Lodge of
Mass. steadily supported with
their voices and their votes the
efforts of the honest money dem
ocrata to defeat the Bland free
coinage silver bill.
There is no reasonable doubt
that Mr. Keed, who will bo the
leader of the house republicans,
will assist the Cleveland democ
racy to secure unconditional re
. peal of the Sherman act of 1890.
He will do this because he knows
that any other course would be
utterly unpatriotic and injurious
to the financial and commercial
welfare of the country. All j
classes of business men are in
terested in the return of the
country to a sound financial pol
icy, and the republicans in con
gres3 could not affoid to make a
factious opposition to the repeal
of a measure which was never en
acted by the republicans because
they believed it sound legislation,
but as a desperate choico against
free silver coinage.
The republicans in congress
will undoubtedly support the un
conditional repeal of the Sherman
ct, but they will not support its
repeal burdened by any free silver
riders; nor will they support any
proposition to revive the Bland
silver act of 1878. There is no
force to the objection that the re
peal of the Sherman act would
contract the currency. With its
repeal the country would have
less silver per capita than it has
to-day, but it would nave more
gold, as the gold which the re
dundant and depreciated silver
ha3 sent out of the country would
return if the silver .absorption
should cease. Neither the Bland
Allison act of 1878, under which
we issued paper against silver
coined, or the Sherman act of
1890, under" which we issue paper
against silver bullion, can possibly
add to the actual use of silver as
money so long as the silver paper
is actually redeemable by the
terms ot the law in gold. The
only effect of such legislation is
to pile up silver dollars or silver
bullion in the government vaults,
where it stands a constantly in
creasing threat to the markets of
the world, and under shadow of
whose ultimate unloading the
market price of silver must con
tinue to sink rather than stiffen.
ground
be
tween tree silver' coinage and the
demonetization of silver through
the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act. Until we can get
the commercial world to estab
Isih an international ratio of
value between silver and gold ii
is bedlam-born, finance to persist
in our present policy of trying to
hold silver up by the tail until
the tail drops out.
United States Senator.Lodge be
iieves that the proposition for the
unconditional repeal of the Slier
man act would have the votes of
120 republicans in the house, but
to couple it with the proposition
for the repeal of the state bank
tax would lose its republican sup
port, as the Sherman law would
not cost the country so much as
would wildcat banking, which is
recalled as a period of "locusts
and wild money." In the United
States senate ten or twelve free
silver republicans will vote against
the repeal of the Sherman act,
md it remains to be seen how
many ot tlie democratic iree surer
majority the administration will
be able to influence for repeal.

ANARCHY UNCHAINED.
The announcement of the par
don of the Chicago anarchists, by
Gov. Atgeld, on the 2Gth, sent a
shudder over the country, and the
act will bring additional odium
upon tne America!! system of ad-
mfnistring justice. The crime
for which these men were sent
to prison and for which a number
of others were hanged, was com
mitted in 18SG, and attracted
world-wide attention at the time.
In suppressing a riot growing out
of a strike of laborers the police
injured some of the participants.
The rioters then assembled to de
nounce the police, and while the
leaders were uttering the most
extreme anarchistic doctrines the
officers of the law undertook to
disperse the assemblage. The an
archists resisted and a bomb was
thrown into the ranks of the po
lice, when it exploded, wounding
66, seven of whom ; soon after
ward died from the wounds re
ceived. The persons tried for the
crime were August Spies, Michael
Schwab,J Samuel Fielden, Albert
It. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Geo.
Engle,Louis Lingg andOscar V.
ieeoe. ui inese, an dui ieeoe
were found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged. The jury fixed the
penalty in Neebe's case at 15
years' imprisonment. Alterwaru
the sentences of Schwab and
Fielden were commuted to im
prisonment for life. Lingg com
mitted suicide in jail the day be
fore the appointed execution-
Thus, only Spies, Parsons, Fischer
and Engle, were publicly exe
cuted November 11, 18S7. Ii
was brought outjluring the trial
that all these men were members
of a revolutionary organization
called the "International," the ob
ject of which was to introduce
anarchy.
The defense of these men was
ably conducted, and the findings
of the court and jury were re
ceived with satisfaction by almost
all law-abiding citizens, although
there was an element which made
strong efforts in behalf of the ac
cused at the time and which has
not relaxed its' endeavors since.
The main reasons givenj by Gov.
Atgeld for. his action in pardoning
these criminals are that the judge
before whom they were tried was
prejudiced, that the jury wis
"packed," and that the' men were
already sufficiently punished.
The facts do not justify this view.
The circumstances attending this
incident gives a prominent color
of truth to the statement that tie
governor bought his' recent elec
tion with the promise of again
turning these blood-thirsty villains
loose upon society.
It is claimed that the hop acre
!ge will be double that of last
year in Oregon and the production
will be at least 40,000 bales.
There will doubtless be a larger
amount of fruit canned on the
Pacific coast this year . than ever
before. The canneries are making
extensive preparations for this
purpose.
There is no middle .
SUSPENDS SILVER COINAGE,
Financial circles were some
what agitated the first of the week
by the announcement that the
government of India had sus
pended the coinage of silver. It is
not believed that the action has
been taken without express orders
from the British government.!
which had general supervison and
control over India auars. The ex
act meaning of this movement is
not well understood, but at first
glance it would appear to be a
turn favorable to the project o!
an international coinage agree
ment. In this light it is viewed
with pleasure by the people of the
United States who are opposed to
too free coinage of silver, while
no doubt it will also be made an
argument in favor of unlimited
coinage. The effect of the move
ment was to run the market price
of silver down to the lowest notch
in the history cf that product.
Secretarj' Carlisle, upon reading
the dispatches, immediately went
to the White House, and lor near
ly two hours discussed the bear
i:igs of the acticn with the presi
dent. The conference was re
newed r.t the president's suburban
retreat later i:i the evening and
was protracted far into the night.
Astronomers ail over the world
unite i:i reporting "an universal
activity on the surface of the sun."
Great groups of solar spots
have become visible, arid, ac
cording to Dr. Veeder, are affecting
the weather on the earth. The
telescope shows at times that the
spots are great cavities or deprts
sions in the photosphere caused by
some tremenduos disturbance from
beneath the surface. It appears
evedent, therefore that, the sun's
energv is now increasing and if
there be any truth in the theory
that increased radiation of solar
heat indicates a hot wave, theiv
yet may be some weather this
summer that will maks Oregon
folks sigh for a return of the gentle
rain which has been here so long
as to have outlived its welcome

CHINESE MINISTER AND FAMILY.
The Chinese minister, Mr. Tsui Kwo Yin,
accredited also to Spain and Peru, has held
his post for four years. Mr. Tsui has seemed
to care more for his studies than for the
frivolities of life, and has gone little into
soeietj;" although he has made many sweep
ing concessions to our manners and customs.
lie is accompanied by his wife, and, con
trary to all Celestail ideas and precedents,
Madame Tsui has conformed, in a measure,
to onr foreign ways, by appearing frequently
iu public. She was present at a diplomatic
ball given by the minister, aud has received
and returned a few formal visits. Madame
Tsui lias several ladies in her suite, and it is
cry apparent that these' Chinese gentle
women enjoy to the utmost their unwonted
liberty. Their social gayety is much re
stricted, however, as they have the ban-
laged feet of high-caste Chinese women,
but they seem to take great delight in slow
ly traversing the pretty walks of Dnpont
Circle, leaning for support on their plebeian,
bro.ii-footed maids, and calmly and com
fortably sitting in a row on the curb, far an
iccasioual rest, during their more extended
expeditions. The Chinese ladies have also
earned to enjoy the cooling drinks concocted
at a neihbering drug-store, and in warm
weather are among the most frequent pat
rons of the soda water fountaia. From
"The Foriegn Legations at Washington," in
D jmorest's Family Magazine for July.
When my little girl was one month old, she
had a scab form on her face. It kept spread
ing until she was completely covered from
bead to foot. Then she had bcils. She had
forty on her head at one time, and more on
her body. When six months old she did not
wsih sjven pounds, a pound and a half less
than at birth. Then her skin started to dry
up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes
to sleepbut laid with them half open. About
this tine, at the earnest request of friends, I
started using ths Cuticura Remedies, and
in one month she was conplelely cured.
The doctor and drug bills were over one hun
dred dollars, the Cuticura bill was hot more
than five dollars. My child is now two years
old, strung, healthy and large as any child of
her age (see photo.) and it is all owing to
Cuticura. Yours with a Mother's Blessing,
