UNA VOCE. -neUevinw of Juno 27U, contains an artclo frcm the Yatubil Indepen dent in which we iind Uu followinr t declaration: 4,In about a year Ore Ron will olect new representatives in congress, and some trto are tired of I Binger Hermann, in casting about uor reprosentative timber, hav alightened upon Hofer of the Capitol Meurnal and others upon Colonel Al ley of Lane county." The few who are tired of Binger Hermann is con fined to those official aspirants who Siilijike to occupy the seat in con gress Bowortinty -and honorably filled by him. Hofer, of the Capitol Journal and Colonel Alley are not disposed to antagonize the election ofBinger Hermann iu 1896. If they were so disposed, and should enter the list for the defeat of Hermann, they had as well order their political coffins preparatory to their political burial. Binger Hermann might be defeated for nomination in a state convention, but no man in this con gressional district would stand 1 ghost of a chance in a race with him before the people in an honest and fair election. The people without regard to parly affiliation, have found in Binger Hermann a true and tried public servant, and they are not disposed to see him sacrificed to gratify the ambitions aims of an un tried representative, wbo may, or may not, represent the interests of his constituents. Binger Hermann is s representative man, a man of the people, and from a close observation of his efforts in behalf of the people of Oregon, we have no hesitation in saying that he has been true to the people, his main animating principle being that of promoting the welfare and best interests of the slate he represents. No truer representative of the people of Oregon has ever been sent to congress from this state, and we know that the people desire his continuance in the position he has so creditably filled in the past. WHOM IT HAS HELPED. The tariff law of the reformers, which was to gladden the heart of the American farmer, has been in operation now going on a year. The law is now old enough to be studied. It has been in the6tatuto book long eoosgb to show results. Every American knows what the Demo cratic promise to repeal the McKin- ley law brought upon the country. The promise has been kept- Now what is tho effect of the promise so kept? The effect is wide and start ling. It includes a new public debt low wages tnd small profits. It can be said that the manufacturers in England and on the continent 0 Europe are daily increasing their sales in the United Slates. Goods made in England and sold in this country deprives some Americans of wages which are theirs by right. The new law is not, therefore, filling the pocket boo L of the American workman bnt is emptying it This is a fact that can be proved by demo cratic figures, set down in Washing toa snd gathered from democratic easterns officers. Daring the past twelve months tho American farmer has been gradually but surely squeezed out of the foreign markets with his staple products. The dem ocratic tariff, therefore, has helped the foreigners, but it hasn't helped any Americans but. those who have been appointed to collect the income tax, Those who voted for tariff re form in 1892 can figure out for them selves now tnese results compare with the benefits promised by the free-trade demogogaes.

But an if stands like a monster lion in the Way. There has recently been a large in- crease or Northern luvestmenis in the South, a single renusjjjania iron compauy, having put $1,50(000 into an Alabama manufactory.' Tfeia is explained partly by the fact that abor is cheaper down there, and partly by superior advantages iti the way of undeveloped resources. The three greatest works now be ore the world are the Siberian Bail road, the Trans-Andean railroad in South America and the Nicaragua canal, and of these the last is the greatest and should be completed first - The Chicago Times-Herald ob tained a complete report of the Re publican Lesgue Convention at Cleveland by telautograph, being the first use of that means of transmit ting news in practical journalism.

George Wake was shot and killed at the Mattb ews hotel last night by J. W. and A. L, Thompson, of Groesbeck. Wake had an appointment with Thompson's daughter, Mrs. Faulknor. The father aud son bus peeling all was not right, followed the daughter to Corsicana. At tbp hotel the Thompsons found Wake and Mrs. Faulk aer in a room together and began firing at Wake. Eight bullets entered his body, but before he died ho shot A. L. Thompson, badly wounding him. The Thompsons were arrested by an officer who had come hastily from the depot, having been informed by a con- i ductor that a tragedy waa about to trans 1 pire.

A special from U a van a says: Captain-General Martinez Campos, acting on the supposition that the peo ple of Havana are iu sympathy with the revolutionists, issued a general order when be first came here, prohibiting pri vale meetings under very severe penal ties. Not even the Masons were exempted, but powerful influence was brought to bear upon bim ir their behalf and he contented to modify the proclamation so that it would not affect them. The grand lodge of the Island of Cuba, situated in this city, was overjoyed at this and Mas oni showed their gratitude to Campos in many ways. All this joy, however, was short-lived for the captain-general has issued another order specifically prohibiting meeting ol Masonic lodges, and as a result trouble is feared in many quarters. Nkw York, July 3. Ex-Congressman Luther F. McKinney, of Now Hamp shire, minister to the United States of Columbia, ai rived on Ibe Finance and is registered at the St. James. He is ac companied by Bis wife, and visits this country on bia vacation. To a reporter, Sir. McKinney said "The all-absorbing question In the Sooth American states is the Nicaragua canal.

Colon, Colombia, July 2. The. firKfl shipment 01 4oU tons across ibe istumus from San Francisco to New Orleans is being taken aboard the steamship Otera This new venture is supposed to be due partly to the Panama Railroad Company. Has Frascisco, July 2. Hugh Craig, vice-president of the Chiuiber of Com merce, says that from a thorough inves tigation of the subject he is convinced that the Pacific cable, which has been talked about for years on this side of the United States, and discussed ad interim in congress, is to be built by uritisu capitalists. To the statement that Englishmen and Australians, with Canada, have decided to undertake the work, be adds the fur ther fact that the difficulty of obtaining a midocean station has been overcome. It will be remembered tbat the United States government decided last winter not to sanction the establishment of such a station on any of the Hawaiian islands to be controlled solely by Britishers. To awid international complications, a sta tion baa been decided t pon in lalitudo 3 north, on Fanning island. The cable is to be laid from Auckland, N. '.., to Norfolk Island, in the South Pacific, a distance of 415 miles. The second section of the cable will be from Norfolk to Fiji, a distance of 1537, miles, the third to Fanning island, 1715 miles, and (be fourth snd largest section, from Fanning island to Vancouver, B. C, a distance of 3232 miles. The total length of this cable would thus be GS09 miles. or almost three limes as long as the shortest transatlantic cable. The cost of this cable from Auckland to Vancouver will be 51,000,000. This cable, it is proposed, shall be only one of a number of cables connecting with it in the southern hemisphere. The princi pal connection will be between Auckland and Sydney, New South Wales. Philadelphia, July 2.

Bknjamin : Dear Sir: Among tho recollections of my last visit with fyou, none are more vivid than your expressed apprehensions that the proposition of thu railroad manage ment, regarding thu subsidy, could not, or would not bo entertained. Your re marks were serious and regretful. You may reniemler that at the time, thu committee was engaged in the struggle of getting raw material wherewith to formulate a reply. Whatever it may havu been is but incidentally interesting at this special moment. It in peculiar, perhaps, that in seeking information as to what it was, collateral information lessened its significance. If you ahull regard it as fortunate, the iectiliar phase, is inconsequential. Whatever may bo said, tending to relieve the ten 81011 01 leeiiug in an tliat is involved in the subsidy episode, or, iu a more impor tant sense, the probability of lloeburg being the terminus (not iu expectancy, mil 111 reality), tne autiionty and per mission for the saying comes from Mr. Frederick S. Samuel of the house of Spreckles & Co., who favored your hum ble servant with many interesting facts and deductions. You will find them strung along in a haphazard way. A few days ago he received a commu nication from Roseburg containing thu first information of the terms submitted to the people. Mr. Graham ia expected soon in the city, and discussion is de ferred until that time. What seemed moderately inconceivable was, that Mr. Samuel was unfamiliar with thu details of the proposed arrangement. However, for present purposes, it is quite imma terial, as he was interesting iu a more important sense, iu a direction that should revive the hope that Koebirfg will have a road to the sea. The un faltering belief of Mr. Samuel that it will, is uo less contagious than cxhilcr ating. Circumstances are changed; new facts are at hand. Earlier estimates of revenue did not include present sources. Thu distance from Myrtle Point to Roseburg is, and always has leen, by contemplated route ti2 miles, and the estimated cost of construction, and equipment of the road f 1,250,000. The distance from Marshfield to Mvrtle Point is 27 miles, and the cost of con struction fWO.000. L'util very recently it has not paid interest on the invest ment. If it could not take care of itself, it could take care of no part of the 02'.. miles. From what source then could the 02.15 take care of itself, and part of the 27? In seeking a solution the means were exhaustive, ihe resources of a scope of country lying K-tween Grants Pass, Eugene and the sea were ascer tained and formulated. From these premises deductions were drawn that revenue derived from all sources would be insufficient to pay operating expenses and interest. Estimate the fixed capital to be 1,50,000. Unless it could earn 5 per cent, or $S2,500 annually it would not I a seductive projiosition. At nil events it was decided, sometime hereto fore, tliat the traffic would not pay in terest on the money ; that rates in pro portion to the necessities of the road could not, would not be paid. The ag gregate of business was inadequate to justify the expenditure. How could the $50,000 from Roseburg have relieved the situation. Your preceptions fly at once to the conclusion that such a subsidy waa never more than an incident; .that the destinies of the raid hung not upon it; that the delay iu building has not re sulted from uncertainty as to terminal point, or from any disinclination at Roseburg, to yield a subsidy. There is clear negation to an assortment of opin ions that Roseburg was trembling iu the Iralance; tliat the mighty purposes of a railroad couitmiiv deinrnded on a subsidy of f50,000! exactly when the cheerless view was taken bv the company that it would be unprofitable and wasteful to build (i2Ja miles, is not material. It is with the new condition of things that vou are to engage. Midwav K'tween Marshfield and Myrtle Point lies a wonderful coal mine, as good in quality as it is stupendous. Better far than any at Coos bay. Thu demand for it here cannot lie supplied. Before many days its supply will Iks in creased 100 per cent., and from time to time iu ratio to demand. The tratfie charges on this coal are sufficient in con junction with other revenue to make the road, as far as completed, self-sus taining and profitable. Eventually, as the output increases, this condition of things will relieve the Roseburg situa tion. And why? Well, sir, the iiu meusity of the coal deposit not only justifies its possessore, but excites them naturally to extend the limits of its dis trilmtion, to extend facilities for trans porting it. If it is brought to Koseburg and sold iu vast quantities to the Southern Pacific company, and in lesser quantities in other directions, it must come by rail, it must come the (i2li. miles. I beg to say that these nre not siieculations of mine. It is the direct belief of Mr. Samuel that such a day will come in due time. Perhaps you had letter take comfort in letting your mental processes resolve that Jtoseburg will bo blessed through tho medium of a coal mine. Time may not bo tho essence of thu contract, but thu law is unalterable. Fancy the dwellers in the innermost tumplo of this railroad com binatiou believing in thu time to come when ships from afar will go to Coo j bay for Umpqua valley wheat. Es- tablish from whatsoever source a revenue for the 02a miles, and with a stroke of thu pen J. D. Spreckela & Co. can arrange preliminaries. Certainly it would bo a whirligig in your experi ence 11 railroad companies moved in manners not mysterious. The subsidy may Ihj insisted on, and if it is I beseech you to be not unmoved if it cornea In unquestionable shape. You find some thing herein that negatives old opinions that thu company has been bushwhack ing with ltoseburg. Something that explains thu situation, something that relieves the situation. On tho firm con victions of those in interest and au thority that Iloseburg will be fnvaded iy tno road you may build your con fidences. 1 ours truly, "Llverine.
