NOTES. From the Salem Statesman's uotes of the day we take the following: The U of O young ladies were high ly Jubilant over the result. This was manifested by the vociferous manner in which they gave tho college yell du'lng the afternoon. Protests will be eutered againsts all events won by Ovarium (U oiu), a claim having been made that he is not an amateur on account oi Having takeupart in contests at other places where mouey prl.ns were offered aud MQ 111 . Ill the evening at Reed's opera house a splendid program was put iu force with 14 numbers by 14 clever people.

They pay out $500,000 this year to supply this golden wisdom to nowspapers. Surely these plates of costly illustrations and statistics in favor of "sound money" are not from a disinterested source? The term "sound money" means the gold standard as the only measure of values But tlioy dure not say gold standard, so they say "sound money." Why not? Because itcanbeBhown'to be an un sound, unjust standard, a standard that can be covered, manipulated, that is subject to all the lluctua tions of the European gold markets.

If this is not attended to Eugene may suffer severely from fire some one of these days. Anu tnai too with tho best department and lire protection in the state excepting lot of rotten hose. Tho price of labor aud all its iirndiieu. und real estate, have fallen materially in value. Money is tho only thing that has appie ciated in value. The borrower can attest to that fact. The farmer sells 35 cent wheat, 9 cent wool and o cent lions, yet interest is 10 nr cent, perhaps a bonus ad the sumo as when tho producer was Bcttinu nearly twice the sum I . the products of his toil. Tho Australian ballot system ufter all is sim pie enough bo far as the voting goes and anybody ought 1 bo able to vote un Australian ballot intelligently, and ytt through the the country there were several men sue h back numbers they did 11 known know how to do it and they got things all mixed up. The number though was comparatively BUinll. In some of the Western states, where women rule tho roost in pol itics, old standards have had to bo revised. An Oklahoma newspaper, for instance, recently sent this or der to a supply house: "Plcuso send us one small cot of a hen. women w-rried the election here, and 1 suppose we will have to swing out a hen instead of a rooster." It is said authortively that some time ago Senator lirioo sent a man to Ohio to sizo up popular senti ment there, and ho reported NO per cent of tho democrats and IU per cent of the republicans favored free ilver.

The issue should be squarely met. The Willamette valley never fails to get required moisture. The pres ent rain is splendid for late sown grain and gardens. The firmors of this section of tho country may be a little bard up, but they do not have to lay awake nights ready to dodge a cyclone. Times ore so hard that not over ten or fifteen thousand dollars aro invested in bicycles in Eugene and vu-initv. A man too poor to own ny thing else can possess a bicycle. Although Moorluad got tho dem ocratic gold standard vote he ran considerably behind his colleagues .. .... . I,. on thi ticket. licpunncan iree silver men voted against him. Office holders at Portland aro on the anxious seat on account of probable changes Pcnnoyer will make when he takes his seal as mavor the first Monday in July. The Oregonian parrot still screeches that Oregon is a gold standard state. Experience and actual results havo no apparent fleet on the bird only to make it more clamorous. The combine that defeated Mr. Hermann for nomination is not happv. 11 is peculiar that the counties that supported Hermann in tho congressional convention stood by Tongue loyally, w hile his own and other combine counties hit him hard. Tho Portland Dispatch Bays that Judge M. L. Pipes, who ran a very close race for prosecuting attorney in Portland, tnad a noble light tn tho late contest.
