Senator Sherman makes a good point in discussing the proposed repeal of the act winch bears his name. It will not do to repeal it absolutely and entirely. Nearly $150,000,000 of treasury notes have been issued under this act and are now in circulation. There la no provision for their redemp tion outside of the act itself. To repeal it absolutely would leave them in the air. Another, clause of the act repeals the Bland law. To repeal this law would raise the Question whether the treasury must not resume the purchase and coinage of $2,000,000 of silver per month. If repeal of the Sherman law could wipe out everything that has beendone under it, it .would be a good thing. This is clearly impossible. The notes emitted under it must still be taken care of. The one redeem . fng clause in the act is that which , gives them gold value so long as the treasury can command gold for their redemption on demand. This must be retained at alljevents, What is needed is not repeal of ' the Sherman act, but amendment Purchase of silver should be ' stopped, but the credit of the Uni ted States mustbe maintained by . continued redemption in gold, on demand, of the notes emitted un dent. ' .. The first section of the act di rects the treasury to purchase, at the market price, so long as it does not exceed $1.29 per ounce, 4,500,000 ' ounces of silver per month, or so much as shall be of fered, and to issue in payment therefor , treasury notes of the .United States. The second sec tion makes these notes legal ten der for all purposes, including cus toms dues, and available for na tional bank reserves, and provide for their redemption on presenta tion to the secretary ot the treas ury in gold or sliver coin at his discretion, "it being the establish ed policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a par ity -with each other upon the present legal ratio or such ratio as may. be provided by law." Sec : iions third and 5th repeal the Bland act, direct the coinage of 2,000,000 ounces of silver per month up - to ; July, 1891, and authorize the coinage of so much thereafter as n&y be needful for redemption of treasury notes. Section fourth places the bullion to be purchased under the usual mint regulations, and section seventh transfers the legal tenders held for redemption . of national bank notes to the gen eral treasury fund. It would seem to be enough to . repeal the first section, since all that is desired is to stop the pur chase of silver and the issue of treasury notes. This would leave thd rest of the law, which pro vides for redemption of the silver already issued, standing. Repeal might be made by a brief act in terms similar to the fifth section, which repeals the Bland act. This does not repeal those provisions of the Bland act which relate to the ,, standard dollar already coined; it merely slops the coinage of more. Its words are, "That so much of the act of February 28, 1878, entitled 'an act to authorize the coinage of standard silver dollar and to re store its legal tender character,' as requires the monthly purchase and - coinage of the same into silver dol ' la'rs 'of not less than $2,000,000 or more than $4,000,000 worth of sil- ' ver bullion is hereby repealed." The act for repeal of the Sherman $tm might read simply, "That so much of the act ot July 14, 1890, entitled 'an act directing the pur chase of silver bullion and the . istoeof treasury notes thereon and ibr other purposes, as requires the monthly;' purchase of 4,000;000 ounces- of! silver bullion and the 'Sisue-bf) treasury notes in payment ; thereof ia- hereby repealed."' ' .This would' cover the entire ground and accomplish the whole 4iaredobiect.. It has been sug- gested that the same end might be gained by passing a' law author izing the president to suspend the parchase of silver for a fixed time in his discretion. This would seem to be less satisfactory to everybody. It can hardly be agreeable to tlx silver men to place this discretioi n the hands of Mr. Cleveland, and hose whose convictions impel hem to vote for the stoppage of the silver purchases certainly would rather stop them decisively and finally, once for all. Moreover, the sanitary effect of repeal upon gen eral business and public confidence will be vastly greater if it is decis- ve and final. The time for shift ing and temporizing expedients is past. The only safety is in prompt, effective, permanent and final action, to put an end to that policy which is the cause of public dis trust, constriction of credit and monetary stringency. Oregonian. The discussion of Gov. Pen noyer and his cranky ideas by the newspapers of the country has riven place to the most severe criticisms of Gov. Altgeld, of llli nois, for his pardon of the Chicago anarchists on grounds ; wliieli do not reflect a shadow of justifi cation. In comparison ot the worst that has been said of our own governor with the most con servative criticism of Altgeld, we are forced to announce a pride in the pioductiou of the "riotous West." The action f of the Illi nois governor affords the "Far West" an opportunity to "counter on the East for its assumption of the lawlessness of communities on the sunset side of the Rockies, The little disregard of law we ex perience is rather of a spasmodic nature, and is really in no degree dangerous to the foundation of society. There are individuals on this coast who'desire to see some Criminals shielded, but they do not wish that all criminals shall be allowed freedom. ' Such persons have in the past obtained the ear of the governor. Another class would be pleased to see the Chinese go. and would take a hand in accelerating their emigration without regard to treaty righfs. Such, in the past, have enjoyed the co-operation of the governor as a private citizen. Tha gover nor has been known to urge a corporation to pay twice for the same work, in satisfaction of the demands of labor, and has sug gested the propriety of the presi dent attending to his own affairs, etc. etc. These are the most ser ious lapses which can be laid up on the threshold of Oregon's cap itol. and Gov. Pennoyer is per haps the best representative ol the western people who favor a construction of the law accord ing to circumstances. These are trivial matters as compared with the deep-seated volcanoes of the eastern social fabric, which usual ly break on the surface in the form of dfsorderly strikes or unlawful demonstrations and which are with difficulty suppressed. The fuel for. these internal social fires, uuder our immigration regulations is furnished in unlimited quantity from foreign countries, and, next to cutting off this supply the best protection society has is to keep the destructive element well smothered bv the law. The East is menaced by the periodical ac tivity of the social volcano known as the "International,"-an organ ization devoted to the introduction of anarchv. Gov. Altgeld, the democratic governor of Illinois recently removed-the hand of the law which was held over a break in the social crust enveloping the effectiveness of this organization and IlerrMcst; one of the escape valves, is beginning to hiss. Pol- lowing the pardon of the Chicago anarchists by the governor, Herr Most said: "Unfurl your blood red banners, comrades, the world over and let us celebrate this feast of jubilation, for we have received powerful re-enforcements to our. army. Fight, and the . victory shall be ours. We must have a reckoning with the blood-sucking crowd;, bat, comrades, let us be prepared the next time they at tack us and give them , a heartier welcome thani that accorded Bon field and his" hounds in 1886." ' Children Crj for. Prickers Castoria WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, June 26, '93. Strange things happen when a democratic administration is in power. One would naturally sup pose that the president and his rabinet would rejoice at the turn of the gold tide from Europe to wards the United States, and the consequent decided improvement n the financial situation, but on the contrary it seems to have caused them grief. Mr. Cleve- and has expressed his fears to more than one man that if the sit uation continues to improve con gress might not repeal tlu Sher man silver law as promptly as it would were the country in dire financial distress. It is really a Godsend to the country that there is an improvement in the financial outlook, although it is natural causes and not any act or acts of the administration that have brought it about. If the improve ment continues until after con gress meets it will have the effect of preventing any hasty and ill- considered financial legislation which might easily make things a great ueai worse than they are or would be with no legislation at all. As no one has championed the Sherman law it must be assumed that it is not a good law; but lew men who are thoroughly ac quainted with the situation will pretend to assert that its uncondi tional repeal, that is to say, its re peal without a substitute of some kind dealing with silver, would be any improvement. Conservative men who are not blinded by nreiudice either for or against either, of the money metals be lieve that congress as far as possi ble should lake the question up without partisan political bias discuss it from every point of view and go deliberately enoug to allow the press and people time enough to discuss and digest al the propositions that may be sub mitted before final action shallbe taken. If this be done some satis factory law mav be the result although it may not meet the ap proval of the extremists on either side. The fact should never be lost sight of that the masses are always conservative in all things and especially so in regard to na tional finances which must always regulate the prosperity, not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the South alone, but of the entir country. If a contrary policy be followed and this question be dealt with from a narrow partisan polit ical point of view, disaster will as certainly follow as night follows day. And closely allied with the finance question more closely than the average democrat seems capable ot comprehending is that of the tariff. There can be no doubt that the foolish talk of cer tain prominent democrats about the certainty ot radical changes being made in our whole tariff sys "Only the Scars Remain," Says Henky Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen ' Machinery Co., Philadelphia, Pa., who certi fies as follows: . " Among the many testimoni alf which I see in regard to cer tain medicines performing cures, cleansing the blood, etc., none impress me more than, my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 13 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and b e came r u n nlng sores. Our family phy sician conld do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old , - ' Mother Urged ffle itotryAyer'sSarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of .health. -I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sar 1 saparilla advertised in all parts of the ,; United States, and always take pleas- v nre in telling what good it did for me." : Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mam. Cures others1will cure you H m m ill P i mm tem has had more to do with bringing about the shaky feeling in financial circles than every thing else added together. While few, if any, men. really believe that the democrats will be foolish enough to make such cuts in the tariff as have been threatened, such cuts as would, if actually mule, make thousands of bank rupts of men who are now fairly n-osperons as manufacturers, large and small, and a million tramps out of woi kingmeu now profitably employed, still the making of those threats has had the effect of creat- ng a feeling of dread and uncer tainty as to just what they will do, and as a natural consequence millions of capital that would otherwise be actively employed is now locked up and business men are daily making assignments be cause of their inability to borrow money upon securities which under ordinary circumstances would liave been gladly accepted as col- ateral for the money they neces sarily have to borrow to success fully carry on their business. Although it has not been offi cially announced, your correspon dent has it from 'a reliable . source that the grand jury has practically agreed to find indictments against Ainsworth, Dant, Sassey and Covert, for manslaughter, in con- nectidn with the horrible accident at Ford's old theater. Their trial will probably take place early in the fall session ot the criminal court. Secretary Lamont's action in dissolving the army court of inquiry recently appointed by him has been the subject of much speculation. Of itself this order indicates the belief of t lie secre tary that the evidence is so plain as to make a court of inquiry un necessary, and were it not for his failure to suspend Ainsworth, Sassey and Covert, who are still performing their' official duties, it might be supposed that he in tended ordering Ainsworth tried by court martial as soon as the civil courts pass upon his case. Perhaps that is what he intends doing. It is stated that Mr. Cleve land has said that he would not suspend Colonel Ainsworth until he has been found guilty by a jury in the criminal court. In an or dinary case that might be the cor rect stand for the president to take, but this isn't an ordinary case. The president has issued a proc lamation calling an extra session of congress to convene on Monday, August 7th, for'the purpose of en acting such legislation as will re lieve the country from its present paralyzed condition of trade. To what extent this, will be accom plished remains to be seen. In so far as this condition is brought about by monetary laws now in force, we may reasonably hope lor relief, but these laws are not the sole cause of he present de pression. Threatened tariff legis lation has a heavy bearing on the situation, and we cannot reason ably hope that this question be dealt with upon a basis which will reassure capital. At last the labors for the de mocracy of Colonel Robert A. Miller have been rewarded. He is made register of the Oregon City land office, succeeding John T. Apperson, who was appointed May 27, 18-89. The place is worth $3,000 a year. What Causes Pimples? Clogging of the pores or mouths of the seba ceous glands with sebum or oily matter. The plug of sebum in the centre of the pimple is called a blackhead, grub, or comedone. Kature will not allow the clogging of the pores to continue long, hence, Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness, flater pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened, the plug comes out and the pore is once more free. There are thousands' of these pores in the face alone, any one of which is liable to become clogged by neglect or disease. . What Cures Pimples? The only reliable preventive and cure, when not due to a constitutional humor, is Cuticura 5oap. It contains a mild proportion of CCTICTJEA, the great Skin Cure, which enables it to dissolve the sebaceous or oily matter as it forms at the mouths of thepores. It stimulates the sluggish glands and tubes to heilthy activity, reduces inflammation, soothes and heals irritated and roughened surfaces and restores the skin to its original purity. This is the secret of its wonderful success. ' For bad complexions red, rough hands and shapeless nails, dry, thin and falling hair, scaly and irritated scalps and simple baby blemishes it is wonderful. . t , It is preserving, purifying and beautifying to a degree hitherto unknown among remedies for the skin and complexion.
