Among the fusioniaU out in Jackson couotr ibere are numerous candidates for office. They are reofrmers. Tbey were once democrat. W. S. .Crowell, county judge of Jackson county, ie tbe foremost and perhaps the slickest of thftie reformers for office. lie bas been county judjre two years. Uis term will not expire until 1900. But bt wants something else. He thinks be ia just the kind of a man for governor, or con sreeeman, or any old thing. He is rabid free silver man; but when the democratic connty convention of Jack son couuty selected it delegates to the mate convention two years ago, Crowell was one. He-offered his proiytoT. G Reames, an uncompromising gold demo rrat. Why ? He gave tbe reason. It . was lecauee he wanted to be sure that vote would le cast against the silver folly. He was a Cleveland democrat and then fur the gold standard, tk) was W M.. Colvig, and Henry Klippel. Cut after the Chicago convention a change came over the spirit of their dreams What ia principle to them? It is office thev want and office thev must have then they'll stand in. Our neighbors on the south must for- uive us lot dipping into their pie. but this is written to let the public know tbe saujoleof reformers who are tbe chief spirits in the "union'' movement in Southern Oregon. It is said notwithstanding the "hard times" last year the following amounts were Brent; $22,000,000 lor chewing gum. $200,000,000 (or other amusements, $625,000,000 for tobaico, 1002,192,854 for intoxicating liquors. These figures make a grand total of over $1,800,000,000 spent for luxuries, or a sum about equal to the entire amount of the circulating medium in the hands of the pwple. Now it ought to puzzle the brain of the aver age inflationist to know where the money comes from to purchase tbe neceseariee of life if all there ia ia spent for luxuries. For, if we cannot pay our debts because the volume of tbe debt is greater than tbe amount of money ia circulation, then we cannot surely purchase if the volume of our purchases is greater than the money. Bat we do, and with a cir culation of 1 1,800,000,000 we in this country transact business representing over $2,000,000,00i every week the year round. What is needed is not so much more money as too keep what we have employed. For the information of our esteemed contemporary, the Bandoa Recorder, which has worked itself into a frenzy be cause the Plaimjk.u.kb said all values are measured by gold, we beg to say that tbe proposition that the government bad the right to say what should constitute money was not disputed. But saying a thing is money, is one thing and com pelling the commercial world to accept it u such and at its face to something else. Toil is a proportion that doei not seem to penetrate the fog that surrounds (he brain of the average tiatiat. The. erstwhile silveritea ought not to iueiat that those who have all along con tended fur the gold standard should, now that the party is thoroughly committed to that policy, get out of th republican baud waun. It ia uoticeable, however, that thoee who are now shouting loudest opposed a clean cut gold declaration uu lil carried off their feet by au aroused public opinion. What has bocomu of the tcport of those apoallud of fret silver who went to Japau eight months agj to try aud gather some material with which to off eel the fact lhat the Japs have adopted tbe gold standard? au uxchauge asks. If they were couviuccd that the Japau eeo acted wifely, they outtbt to have the fraukuess to say bo. , - " lbero is a bill before the New Jersey legislature to tax both bachelors aud old maids. That is hardly (air. Th clus ters are not to blame. Like Barkis, they are williu'. Make the tax uu Iho bache lors double aud let it go at that. The warlike preparations throughout the country indicate that Uncle 8am Is preparing for tbe worst. The old muskets are being polished up and the powder horns looked luto aud replenished.

The gold reserve climbs merrily up. It ia now nearly one hundred aud sutv six millions, ince the advent of the McKinley administration the "endless chain" has ceased to operate in tiie drawingf gold from the treasury. Con fidence is restored aud the business world understands that the intbience of the administration will I for the pre serving of tbe parity. "the stat has offered its portage rail way at the Cascade Locks for sale. IIih highest bid was $3700. It cost $"0,000. The locks being open there is no use for it. It served its purpose, and it is claimed paid far itself in the saving cf freights. " Treasury receipts under the DiuRiey law are now runnicg a million dollars a day, and when the imports of wool and sugar begin next month they will be all that is needed to meet the running ex penses of tbe government.

It is located on Sharp s tret-k and is on the direct rend to the Poheuiia mines. The natural advantages for this town teem to be ma:iy. Well protected from ail cold w inds, with a tine stream of mountain water running through it and ahout twenty open mines within a few roJs, and with the heavy traffic of the summer before it the town certainly has a bright future before it. A letter received in Portland from Krsuk Y. Schuuk, a former resident of that citv, places the number who lost their iives iu the blowing up and burn ing of the steamer Clara Nevada at 02. Search fur the ill-fated passengers and crew proved fruitless. As it was bitter cold and a strong wind was blowing, those who were not killed penshod trom exposure and drowning.

Great activity prevails at the various points of fortification along the Atlantic seacoast. Guns are being cleaned, am munition overhauled and the works gen erally put in condition for active service. Speculation regarding these movements is rife, and the general indication is to eee ia them further indications that war with Spain is imminent. At the war de partment, however, it is stated that this work is merely carried on in furtherance of the policy adopted a few years ago of strengthening the coast defenses and in creasing the efficiency of the troops man ning them. At a conference between President McKinley, Secretary of the Navy Long and Assistant Secretary of State Lay, held Saturday morning, it was decided to reepectfully decline the request of the Spanish authorities ut Havana that they be allowed to have representatives pres ent during the investigation of the cause ot thu disaster to tne name-snip .umue. At the samo time it was decided to in struct Consul-General Lee to ioljrw the Spanieh officials that this government is willing to grant them all reasonable facilities for conducting an investigation of their own. I livers working about the hull of thu wrecked batlle-bhip Maine are reported by tho New York Herald's Key West correspondent to have discovered that the forward magazine of the Maine, where the liist explosion was supposed to have occurred, is intact and its con tents uninjured. If true, this report P"iven one of two things; either the Maii.u was blown up from without, or the thcurv expressed yesterday by sev eral naval experts to the effect that the lir!-' explosion occurred in the boilers a- i -hips instead of in the magazine is i . .l.
