SOLDIERS' HOflE AFFAIRS.
Vice President James Byron Denies
the Allegation.
Olalla, Or., March 1, 1895.
Ed Plaindkalkr: The onslaught
mado by the legielativo couiniitteo sent
from Salem "cocked and primed" for
the Soldiers' Homo at ltoseburg is de
nounced by overyono conversant with
the facts in the caao as ono of tho most
Bcurrilous, low-down and villainous at
tacks ovor publicly mado in tho Stato of
Oregon. In order to mako a poiut
against mo, they dcclinod, as tho law re
quires, to servo legal notice on me stating
time and place of investigation of my
official acts. They prolerred, guerrilla
like, to shoot fron ambush ,or stab in tho
back, which they fully, foully and com
pletely did.
In their secret conclave they have
figured mo travelling by railroad from
Olalla to Roseburg, a distance of twelve
miles. That any railroad exists between
Olalla and Roseburg is falsi, and that
Olalla is but twelvo miles from the
Soldiers' Homo is ulso falsa. That I
havo charged five dollars per diom is an
other faleoltood. Tho records of tho
Home show that 1 'have' been called to
Rosebutg twenty-11 vo times in two yents
on -matters in connection therewith.
Several of those meetings weto caused by
an injunction suit brought on by Salem
parties, tho history of which is noil
known in the courts of Oregon.
Now, the only public carriers botween
Olalla and Roseburg is the Coos Bay
Stage Co. The distance between theso
points is about seventeen miles, the faro
is one dollar and fifty cents each way.
Nearly all tho board meetings were held
on Tuesdays, and in order to bo present
I bad to either tako the Monday stage
which arrives daily at Roseburg, about
five o.clock p, m., or a private convey
ance Returning, could not leave Rose
burg before Wednesday morning about
six o'clock a. m. Tho public will there
fore see that travelling by stage it would
take three days; travelling by private
conveyance would be still more expen
sive. That committee says I drew two
hundred and teu dollais in two year, or
the enormous sum of one huudred nnd
five dollars per year. Now, if Ormsby,
clerk of said committee, will pay seventy
five dollars faro for tweuly-the tii on
stage to Roseburg, and divido the bal
ance left by number of days requited in
attendance and travelling to nnd from,
be will have about one dollar and eighty
cents per diy. to pay hotel bilU and
other expenses- During my two yean
on the board of trustees I have never
travelled on a free pass and charged
mileage to the state, uor have I had the
state o' Oregon to buy my iwtai;e
stamps or pocket knives, as tho iwople
who untruthfully i'.vestig.ted the
Soldiers' Home have done.

Cleveland's Policy.
cThc democratic claim that through
the policy of the Wilson-Gorman bill,
we ehould And open to us the
markets of the world, has proven a de
option by giving away our own mar
kets and' losing those we had. There is
a remedy for this, but it viil! never be
applied by the present democratic con
ministration. It is to bo hoped that the
republican house lately chosen, and a
republican senate in the (near future,
with u republican President to be cluran
iu 18iHi, e may once more see the gold
reserve intact, when questions about cur
rency and revenuo will cease to agitate
the public mind, and bond issues will be
come a thing of the pat; wo shall take
up the march of prosperity by redeem
ing lost ground; our people will once
more be profitably emptied, ihen
there will bo fulfilled eery promise
made by the leaden, of the republican
party, of better times through lielter leg
islation; we will rebuild the waste
places, having re-established confidence
iu our restored credit and our ability to
meet our obligations. Our people re
member tho promises ol he democratic
party that we should have a better cur
rency, a !etter market and better
times. Yet inside of two tears it has
deranged our currency and llirestei.ed
to destroy it. Times are wurso now than
they have been for thirty-five jears.
Tho friends of President Cleveland have
had' much to say ai out his wipe financial
measures', but the trntli is the only thing
he has done 1ms been to degrade our
financial system by his una io and un
American policy. He has changed Ibis
country into a bond-isxuing one. The
reinstatement of the republican turfy
iu power, will be hailpd with joy h) the
American press and the American teo
ple. Lego.

Gold Coinage of the World.
Although the total stock of gold in the
world amounted to almost four billion of
dollars at the close of ISH3, says an ex
change, 'he total gold coinage was only
$23'J,4S5,69j, which was almost double
tne total amonnt of gold coinage cf 1891,
only two years earlier, when it stood at
$119,534,122. The silver cuiuago of the
world has decreased dnritu' the same
period by nearly $3,000,000. standing at
fI35,3S9,753 in 1S93 as compared with
$138,294,307 in 1891. Thoso countries
mat nave tne luicest goiu coinage are
the following:
United States $56,999,020
Austria-Hungary 5o,932,88l
Gret Britian 45,094.310
Australasia 32,059,254
Germany 20,280.183
trance 9.332.068
Total.
$226,16.5.721
The World $232,4S).66S
It will perhaps be a surptisa to many
people that the United States has the
largest amonnt of gold coinage, nearly
$12,000,000 more than Great Britian
I lie above countries issue the entire
gold coinage of the world, excepting $6,'
300,000, of which more than one-third
is Russian money. Q uitting France it

The Peoplej are tho Law Making
Power.
Tho public must be aware that the
PIAindealer is not responsible for the
views of its correspondents, and also of
the fact that its columns are open to ail
who may be desirous of expressing
thoughts that occur to their minds. We
present some thoughts with reference to
the rights and powers of 'the people.
Our present form of government is es
sentially a representative one. Direct
legislation would make it pnrely demo
cratic. The radical difference ietween
the two forms is that instead of the peo
ple delegating their power to represen
tatives to act for them, they would, nn
der direct legislation, hold the lawmak
ing power in their own hands, and by
their direct vote for or against measures
instead of men, they would direct the
course of public affairs ami make such
laws as Ihey desired, without running
the risk of being misrepresented or hav
ing their will set aside by the courts.
The plan of direct legislation has no con
nection with the theories of auv school of
politics. It is intended simply to ipen
the way for tbo people t. expre-ts thir
wishes by voting directlv up m the meas
ures before them, instead of merely vot
ing for men who may or may not act in
their interest just as they see fit, labile
the people are powerless tu help them
selves if their representatives vield to
temptation and betray the interesU they
were elected to protect.
The whole subject of direct legislation
resolves itself, therefore, into the ques
tion of whether it is better for the peo
ple to decide upon the measures they
want, or to have their servants to de
cide for them. In the ordiuarv affairs ot
life no one wonld hesitate to say that tho
person interested can always attend to
his affairs best; by 'eaching servants to
attend to these things we never secure as
good results and often suffer losses. In
the affairs of state, however, we are not
yet fully recovered from the old super
stition that some men are horn to rnle,
and we are afraid to trust the people to
make their own laws. Is there a boa id
of officials iu any city or state that ban
dies the public affairs as well as the ic-
ple themselves would handle them?
Would the people have given hundreds
of millions of public property to private
firms and corporations? No. Thev
would have s'.oppedthis robbery long be
fore the wrong became so aunalline an
it is to-day. A representative form o
government offers the nation's wealth as
a bribe to tie legislator for corrupting
the laws and creating privileged classes.
This government of ours was founded
upon the principle that the will of the
people !s the supreme law. of the land a
principle so grand that although the
children of those who promulgated it are
clothed ia rags and suffering the pangs of
hunger, their faith holds true to the glo
rious principle and they bow in reverence
to it. But for some reason the theory
and the cold facts do not fit into each.
other and produce a nation of free men
and women. On the contrary, we have
produced a nation of pruper3 and mil
lionaires both of whom are a menace to
tne fiee institutions of our countryl Di
rect legislition would tend to restore two
important rights to the people. Iirst,
the right to propose, and. second, to
make or unmake the laws that govern
them. In conclusion after having wit
nessed the farce enacted by the legisla
ture just adjourned in the election of
senator we would say senators at all
events should be elected by a direct vote,
of the people, and then bribery, corrup
tion, and heavy expenses would in a
measure cease to be entailed upon them.
