A do email straw to show which way the piliticul wind blows in Line county in 'lie orgviizntionof a Silver club in Sjienci-r precinct. Although ft small precinct 32 finn ed the roll at the (not meeting ami our informant staWa that not leas than 75 name will lx numbered in the club. The tneinners are from all parties and favor a union ticket with Iree silver and direct l-'gisla-tion for a' platform. It should and will win, Cleveland and McKinley and the gold con traotloniuU to the contrary. The people are no longer willing t be fooled by palpable itolitical Iraudi) that promise everything in plat form! only to disregard their prom ises afUr election. The trouble is the patties have been nominating men they knew were not lionest in their professions. The liryan nom ination was the only clean one made for vears. and that was - , in direct opiosiiion to thejiowcrful gold iorces that hoped t secure a willins tool so there w mid bono danger to their interests in any event. Then the people could have fought their political Tights while the government beneficiaries would have stood back in con Pi donee that their cause was saved no diflerence who was elected. The Bryan nomination forced their hands, and every gohl nun, with- out regard to firmer political aflili- ation, voted for McKinley. Rut the people did not thorougly understand the situation. They are wiser now and will not be caught again with false and lying promises and pledges. A I'OHBIBLK OKKUOMAN GlU IHiK What sort of a grudge lias the Oregonlan got against Lane county? In yesterday's isnio there is a pic ture oft ho sceno in the meeting room of tho Republican League convention with the ' Lane" county banner, about the only one distui guishable, in the foreground. Ranged under it are a lotol pic tures ot villainous looking men such as no discreet man with money in his pocket would trust hiuiseli with on a dark night, or in a lonely place. NVirly every one of Iheai holds a tough looking cigar between his teeth. It is not the dclcguli in that left Eugene the other day. That was composed of as air and proud a phalanx ot patriots us ever faced an enemy or a bir. Can it be that those wicked tMmoniics and Orj gonianites inveigled the Lane couii' ty men into some secluded spot, for which Portland is famous, then filled their places with the totuh and wicked denitens of tho North end? In any event these men don't be long to Lane county. Wescorn the ba.'e presentment as un true to nature and wholly defama tory. KKFKKKKU TO HKU. M'At (ill.

K Kroner , secretary of the Mult soman county Peoples party cen &a tral wmmittee, concludes an ex haustive reply to Chairman Young as follows: "We should not forget that no niincessinns of principle have so far Ihi ii s-ked, none are likely to be lit. ked of the peoples pttriy, but if even before any question ot csndi dates it brought up, we peremptori ly, and contemptuously lefuse ttie assistance '( the democratic and free silver republican organizations, whr t iU the verdict of the people be?

Land Otllce Kullng. lteeent rulings of the commissioner of the tieiieral land odlce upon I lie mutter of the annual assessment work for a patent, have excited considera ble comment lu mining circles. The tlr.tt U lo the effect that contiguous claims can be represented by work done upon any of tlie group provided the work dono is equivalent to the expenditure off 100 on each claim. Lit tle fault is found with the ruliug, be cause it Is evident by tlds method there Is a much better opportunity for a seedy determination of the value of the property. The expenditure of foOO iu a single shaft might op.ti up au ore body, while the same amount scattered over live claims would only rsult lu live shallow holes, showing uothing. A more reient ruling, however, Is be ing severely criticised. In this ruling the cnmmhslouer says: ' The conclu sion is apparent that an expendi ture of UX)on 0110 or more of contigu ous mitilDg claimsemhruced In one ap plication f r patent is sufllcieut, if made for the convenience of working or developing all the claims Included.
