Willi tlio statement tbat Colorado
heada the hat of ".old-producing state
for 1S'.7. cornea the curious fact that she
is also the largest producer of silver in
tho L'n i led Status, although none o( her
silver is produced from strictly speaking
silver in i iien. It cornea from mines
whoso principal value ia in gold and
other inetaln, the production of silver
being hul incidental. The gold produc
tion of the state has amounted to $22,-
5i"0,lKH), while that of silver has been be
tween lit anil 14 million. Ihe total
metal production of Ihe state for tl e year
amounts to over 145,000,000 Large as
thin sum in. and aa great a minim? state
as Colorado is, the value of her agricultu
ral products exceed even this, being
something over $40,000,000.
(iovurnor Shaw, of Iowa, ia his inaug
ural said: "It is a matter worthy
of nolo that our industrial and finan
cial tikies are brightening. It would
feem from tho aufleritig through which
we have lately paatd that no one able
to commixHuraio the homeless, the help
less, the friendless and the destitute will
again nltempt to revolutionize a aingle
gold standard, the boneQeent effects of
which we have enjoyed since January,
1ST'.), it bn ins to be conceded by buni
nuea men und statesmen as well that our
national currency needs reformation. It
ia in god that the country will not con
sent lo the retirement of the greenbacks
and the ifsnance of any form of money In
lieu Ibuieof. This may be true, but il
true, il proves the existence of au ill-advised
prejudice."
A frank statement of the uouditiou of
things in Mexico under the operations of
the silver ainudard is found in the olliciul
addess ol Dr. Manuel Flores in present
ing tho pnea to the American exhibi
tors ut the Chicago and Atlanta exposi
tions:. The Cliy ol Mexico Herald quotes
Pr. I'loies an lug : "Ihe depreciation
iu the white metal operated to depress
our mining industries, but could not
crin-li llieui. It seriously affected our
tiiimu'ON, hut. the goveruiiieut has oyer

many Mex.c.ui producla hitherto onox
poitablo lire now oxported, including
our Htuttr, cotl'oo and grains. Theso ate
produced for silver utid sold for gold."
This shows where the Mexican prosper
ity lies, lew in Mexico aro prosperous
and they are prosperous ut theexpeuee
of the muuv. Theso articles are "pro
duced (or bilvor aud sold for gold." In
other words, tho producers tho laborers
employed iu tho production aro paid in
dollars worth 4 cents each, while the
cwnori sell the finished product lo out

the measures be has recently introduced
is one of much importance to the state.
It ia the condemnation and purchase by
trie united state ot the canal and locks
si Oregon City. This Is a most mentor-
ous measure, and is ona which If. passed
would help the producers of the state in
a marked degree, as the goverunimil
ownership of the locks would be the
nearest approach to an open river that
can be obtained. CongreMman Tongue
should have the co-operation and sup
port ol the whole stste In Ms efforts to
secure this legislation.
From the Congressional Record is lak
en the following concerning bills, intro

committee on interstate snd foreign corn
men e.
Also, a bill to provide for Ihe con
ntruciion of a public building at Salen;,
Oregon to the committee on public
buildings and grounds.
Also, a bill providing for Ihe payment
of claims arising out of the Cayuse In
dian war in Oregon in 1847 and 1848 to
the committee on war claima.
Also a bill to amend an act to provide
for tbe allotment of lands in severality
10 Indians on the various reservations
snd to extend tbe protection of tbe lews
of the United States and tbe territories
over the Indians, and f r other purposes
to the committee on Indian affairs.
Also, a bill for a life-saving station to
Ihe entrance to Tillamook bay. Oregon.
and life saviog crew, etc. to the com
mil tee 011 interstate and foreign com
merce. ,
Also, a hill to provide for the condem
nation and purchase by tbe United
States of the csnal and locks at VUlam-
ei'e lane, uregon tc tbe committee on
rivers and harbors.

Preparing for War.
Tbe St. James's Gazelle (London! of
recent date, commencing upon tbe dis
patch from Yokohama, sayiog that a
fleet of nine Japanese warships will leave
Japan in the course of a week for China
ese waters, says :
"Japan is preparing lor war. Tbat. in
a nutshell, is the news from Yokabama
today, aud it is really tbe first news from
Japan since tbe beginning of tbe Chinese
crisie.
"It was obvious tbat the Japanese gov
ernment bad stopped telegraphic com
munication, which It neverdoes. except
when mobilizing the army or navy.
Tbat is p-ecisely what it bas been doing.
'It is understood tbat tbe destination
of the Ueet is Wei Hai Wei, and there is
no douut tbat ihe movement meana that
the status (no in China, so far as Manch
uria and Curea are concerned, shall not
be disturbed by R'leaia or any combina
tion of Russia's allies, in defiance of

defenders policy 18 equality of oppor

Tbe St. James's Gazetto also gives
prominence to a list of the ships in tbeJap
anese navy, pointing out its immense
fighting strength, and says :
"It is probable that Japan could finish
off all the Russian and German warships
east of Suez in short order. Great Brit
ain, even including the Powerful, has
not a vessel in the North Pacific capable
of standing in battle line against these
Japanese battle-ship;."
A dispatch lrom Shanghai says :
It is stated in official quarters tbst
Germany will make Kiao Chou an open
port without exclusive privileges to Ger
mans, and broadly on the line adopted
at Hong Kong, tbe land being held under
crown leases.

ri C Women are apt to look upon
love ana marriage as puiciy
a matter of sentiment aud af
fection. That is pretty nearly
right ; yet there fs a practical
side to it too ; and the best way
to preserve the ideal aspect of
marriage and maternity is not
to forget the practical part of
it. A woman cannot be a thor
oughly happy wife and mother
unless the distinctive physical
organism of ber sea ia in a
healthy and vigorous condi
tion. The best friend that wo
man ever had is the " Favorite
Prescription," of Dr. R. V.
Uerce, Chief Consulting Pby
.siclan of the Invalids' Hotel
S!.and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y. The " Prescription." is
a perfect and infallible remedy for every
form of "female weakness." It cures by
restoring health and strength to the inter
nal organism, which cannot be reached by
" local application ;" thus the cure is radi
cal, complete and constitutional,
Pr. Pierce's eminent reputation as a phv
eiclan of wide learning ; and bis special
knowledge of the delicate and intricate or
ganism of women, accounts for the unpar
alleled confidence, which women place in
his "Favorite Prescription," over every
other remedy. Its use obviates the neces
sity of dreaded "examinations" and the.
stereotyped "local treatments."
Dr. H. V. Ficivc. lkr Hit il suffered fourteen
yeara with female weakueaa, nervoiuueu, aud
general debility, trying everything I could fiud
to help me all to no avail. I then heard of
Dr. Fierce' medicine and although I waa thor
oughly dltcouraged thought I would try once
more to find relief. I took your " Oolden Medical
Discovery "and " Favorite Prracriptiou," and toei
great praise cannot tie given lor the rapid relief
they cave me. I am now tree front tba former
troubles. Very aincerciy youra,
